Unemployment Friday

Volume is building to the upside in the S&P with higher open interest. Unles unemployment is bullish, which it very well maybe, I would expect that upward trend to continue. It may mitigate a negative number as well.

TradeMaven’s Inside Edge (TIE) 3-2-1 methodology uses 3 rules, 2 patterns, and 1 indicator. Rule #3: Don’t Fade Moves-Out-of-the-Middle (MoM’s.) MoM’s are “go with” trades that put money in your pocket. Any significant market move will start from the middle of a prior distribution. Fading (going against) this type of move is a recipe for disaster. Knowing a MoM is in progress helps you set expectations and market direction for the coming day. Understanding the correct market direction will keep you out of low probability trades and reduce your chances of getting chopped up.



The proprietary TIE Market Profile provides us with an excellent example in the eMini S&P. The short term trend moving higher has run out of gas. The MoM comes out of the distribution, accelerating to the downside. We call this “the end is the beginning.”



To learn more about MoM’s and the 3-2-1 Methodology, Join us, Tuesday June 10th at 3:30pm central time, for a Free Webinar on the TradeMaven Inside Edge.

For Thursday

Still wary of the breaks based on bad news - volume is developing at higher prices, but the short side is still the bias.

Still watching the sellers

Volume was certainly developing lower. Afternoon trading on Tuesday showed support at the 1372 level; I'll look to see if open interest rose tomorrow morning. If so, the selling will continue.

ISM non-manufacturing and Productivity reports are due out Wednesday afternoon, Unemployment Situation is Friday

Back From Finals And Vacation

Back from my break -

Though the S&P sold off - it came right back to the pivot - I'm not convinced the market will continue to go lower, But I can't exactly be bullish with some of the reports due out this week.

I would trade with a selling bias, but take profits once the sellers start backing off.
