Earnings are due from Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta Platforms this week

Emini S&P December futures collapsed to my targets of 4375/4365 & 4340/35. Then the break below 4335 hit my targets of 4300/4290 & 4270/65.

Support at 4260/50 held but with no bounce or indication that a low has been reached...and a close right at the low of the day & the week,  it looks like we will continue lower to test an extremely important support at 4220/4200. This will make or break the market going in to year end.

I would try a long. It is worth the risk despite the downside momentum.

However we want to reverse in to a short on a break lower which can target 4130/20 (just to start with). Longs at 4220/4200 could see a good profit if the level holds, initially targeting 4285/95.

Nasdaq December futures shorts at 15300/350 worked perfectly at last we we hit my targets of 15050/15000 & 14830/800 & as stated on Friday, eventually we could fall as far as the lower trend line support of the 3 month triangle pattern at 14600.

We got pretty close on Friday. A break below 14500 will be an important sell signal suggesting a breakout of the 4 month triangle pattern. However a bounce from 14600/550 however can target 14650 & 14750, even 14900 is possible.

Chart


Emini Dow Jones December shorts at resistance at 33930/970 worked perfectly with a high for the day exactly here before we collapsed to hit targets of 33700/650 & 33600.

On Friday we wrote: Further losses are likely & target 33350/300 for profit taking before the weekend.

All targets hit as we approach the October low at 33070/020. Obviously a break below 32990 suggest further losses towards 32750/700. A bounce meets resistance at 33500/560 & shorts need stops above 33630.

EUR/USD steadies near 1.1750 ahead of final Eurozone CPI amid fading USD recovery

GBP/USD gains ground above 1.3400 on UK PMI optimism

The GBP/USD pair gains momentum to around 1.3425 during the early Asian session on Wednesday. The Pound Sterling edges higher against the Greenback on the upbeat UK preliminary S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index data. Traders will take more cues from the Fedspeak later on Wednesday. 

Gold advances to near seven-week highs amid US labor market cooling

Gold price extends its upside to near seven-week highs above $4,300 during the Asian trading hours on Wednesday.

The mixed US employment report for November reinforces bets of further rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and weighs on the US Dollar.
