Tomorrow I’m doing a webinar on the trading methods I use for my Swing Trader’s Insight advisory. Register to attend this presentation here: https://www.danielstrading.com/webinar/insights-of-a-swing-trader/
There was weak economic data out of Europe- composite PMI and retail sales; this pressured the Euro. The ADP employment report showed +208K gain in private sector payrolls for November; this was slightly lower than forecast. At 9 AM CT is the Nov. ISM non-manufacturing index, which is forecast to be +0.2 to 57.3. At 9:30 AM is the weekly EIA petroleum inventory report; crude stocks are expected to have risen by 800K barrels last week. Finally, at 1 PM we get the Fed’s Beige Book for the Dec. 16-17 FOMC meeting.
Dec. eMini S&P Futures: It’s a Taylor Trading Technique Sell Short day, 2068.00 (Tues. high) is the reference price. Downside levels to watch are 2061.25 and then 2058.50.
March T Bonds: It’s an (overdue) TTT Buy day. 140-28 was the Buy day reference price and there is MA support at 140-25. 141-14 is the first rally objective.
Dec. Yen: TTT Buy day, for a scalp only. 8383 is the Buy day reference price.
Dec. Euro: It’s a “cover breakout sales” day so a TTT Buy day could be anticipated. For the time being the break under the last low of 1.2366 negates that. Treat any longs as a scalp only.
Dec. British Pound: Breakout setup (ID, NR4). A downside breakout attempt failed; can a rally follow through? The 1.5700 area is the first level to watch for an upside breakout.
Feb. Gold: Watch the $1200 level as a pivot point – I like the long side above there, for a scalp trade.
March Coffee: Watch the 10 Nov. low of 185.40 as a pivot point today- below there, the pressure stays on, while rallying above it could lead to a short covering rally.
Jan. Crude Oil: Tuesday was an inside day- I would watch for a potential breakout breakout trade, most likely after the 9:30 AM inventory report.
Jan. Soybeans: It’s a “cover b.o. sales” day so a Taylor Trading Buy day is anticipated. Watch the overnight low of 985-0 and Tuesday’s low of 995-0 as reference prices for a rally. The bulls need to push it back above the 1000 area.
March Wheat: Breakout setup (range contraction, doji). It sold off overnight and stopped on Fib support at 589-0; watch that as a reference price this morning. Overall I like the long side, it’s figuring out where to buy it that’s the issue.
