This is Your Only Job as a Trader
Hey friend, Just as Ross said it would, the market is bouncing from its highly-oversold conditions. So let’s see if that has caused any change in the index directions. The Daily Direction Note: Yesterday’s upward move in all indexes was not enough to shift any index directions – though the Nasdaq is on the verge […]
It’s All About Speed
Hey friend, It was a punishing week for the markets last week – as you can see from the solidly red Daily Direction table below. The Fed meets this week, and while they’re likely to pause rates, what Fed Chair Powell says in the post-meeting press conference will have a big impact on where the […]
Dangerous Trading Trap
Hey friend, Strong U.S. GDP numbers were not enough to lift the market’s mood – which was largely disappointed by Big Tech earnings. All indexes – but one – closed lower yesterday… So let’s see how the markets have been moving as we close out this trading week. The Daily Direction Note: Only the Russell […]
Smart Money Footprints
Hey friend, A rebound in 10-year Treasury yields and disappointing results from tech giant Alphabet pressured markets downward yesterday. There is now one green holdout in the Daily Direction table – and even that may not last. The Daily Direction Note: All indexes closed negative yesterday, sending the S&P 500’s long-term direction back downward. The […]
Not All Profit Triggers are Created Equal
Hey friend, A bevy of strong corporate earnings helped lift the market yesterday – snapping its multi-day losing streak. And Treasury yields continued to pull back, another boon for the markets. So, let’s see if that caused any changes in the index directions. The Daily Direction Note: All indexes closed positive yesterday, sending the long-term […]
People Don’t Understand This
Hey friend, Treasury yields are continuing to retreat, corporate earnings are outperforming expectations, and market indexes are mixed. Let’s see how the markets have been moving. The Daily Direction Note: Most indexes – except the Nasdaq – closed lower yesterday. But it was far more muted compared to the previous few days. No change in […]
A Critical Trading Correlation
Hey friend, Treasury yields retreated slightly after briefly breaching the psychological 5% mark late last week. But all indexes still ended lower, posting weekly losses. Of course, Powell’s comments that current monetary policy was “not overly tight” didn’t help things. The Daily Direction Note: The move lower last Friday sent the long-term direction of the […]
Do You Have a Target List?
Hey friend, Treasury yields are inching closer to breaching the 5% mark after Fed Chair Powell said the Fed would likely pause hikes in November… Before going on to say that he doesn’t believe that current monetary policy is too tight – implying rates would stay higher for longer while signaling possible rate hikes in […]
What Successful Trading Really Is
Hey friend, 10-year Treasury yields hit a new high yesterday, rising above the 4.9% mark. Combine this with continually increasing uncertainty in the Middle East and some weak earnings numbers – and you have a recipe for a down day in the markets. The Daily Direction Note: All indexes closed lower yesterday – causing multiple […]
Why Being Second is Better Than Being First
Hey friend, It was an interesting day in the markets yesterday. 10-year Treasury yields surged to new highs and retail sales growth came in far stronger than most economists expected. This led to a volatile intraday session – so let’s see how markets have been moving. The Daily Direction Note: The S&P 500 and the […]
Understand This to Make More Profits
Hey friend, With earnings season just starting, it’s an interesting time for the markets. Ross Givens calls it a “wildcard” – as earnings strength could move markets in unpredictable ways. With that said, let’s see how markets have been moving. The Daily Direction Note: With all indexes closing higher yesterday, the short-term direction for the […]
The Story of the Market
Hey friend, Welcome to a brand-new trading week. Both the S&P 500 and the Dow posted a weekly gain last week, while the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000 were down. The big banks have just kicked off the third-quarter earnings season – so expect that to create lots of opportunities we can take advantage of. […]
