Emini S&P the buying opportunity at 5,745/35 and hit targets of 5,755-5,765

Emini S&P December made a low for the day just 3 points below the buying opportunity at 5745/35 & immediately shot higher to both targets of 5755, 5765.
The low & high for the last session were 5733 - 5822.

Emini Nasdaq December broke lower but made a low for the day at strong support at 19900/800
Last session high & low for the last session were: 19818 - 20331.

Emini Dow Jones December trades mostly sideways for many days.
Last session high & low for the last session were: 42251 - 42656.

Emini S&P September futures

Emini S&P longs at strong support at 5745/35 worked perfectly as we held above 5730 & shot higher to targets of 5755 & 5765 then as far as 5783.

If we continue higher look for a retest of the all time high of 5820/30.

So we have support again at 5745/35 & longs need stops below 5730.

A break lower this week however could target 5695/90 & even support at 5680/70.
Longs here need stops below 5660.

Nasdaq September futures

We broke support at 20250/150 to hit my next downside target & very strong support at 19900/800 with a low for the day exactly here.

We then shot higher to 20081.

If we continue higher look for 20150/200, perhaps as far as 20250/290.

Strong support again at 19900/800 - Longs need stops below 19700.

A break lower today however risks a slide to 19550, perhaps as far as strong support at 19400/300.

Emini Dow Jones September futures

We wrote: I think gains are likely to be limited in severely overbought conditions but there is definitely no sell signal & I will remain a  buyer on any profit taking.

We did dip as far as support at 42350/250 as predicted & this did prove to be an excellent buying opportunity again but longs need stops below 42150 on a retest today.
Targets of 42500 & 42650 were hit immediately, meaning we caught the low & high for the day for the second day in a row.

A break lower this week however risks a slide to 42000/41900 & longs need stops below 41800.

EUR/USD retreats toward 1.1700 on modest USD recovery

EUR/USD stays under mild bearish pressure and trades below 1.1750 on Friday. Although trading conditions remain thin following the New Year holiday and ahead of the weekend, the modest recovery seen in the US Dollar causes the pair to edge lower. The economic calendar will not feature any high-impact data releases.

GBP/USD struggles to gain traction, stabilizes near 1.3450

After testing 1.3400 on the last day of 2025, GBP/USD managed to stage a rebound. Nevertheless, the pair finds it difficult to gather momentum and trades marginally lower on the day at around 1.3450 as market participants remain in holiday mood.

Gold climbs toward $4,400 following deep correction

Gold advances toward $4,400 and gains more than 1.5% on the day after suffering heavy losses amid profit-taking heading into the end of the year. Growing expectations for a dovish Fed policy and persistent geopolitical risks seem to be helping XAU/USD stretch higher.

Cardano gains early New Year momentum, bulls target falling wedge breakout

Cardano kicks off the New Year on a positive note and is extending gains, trading above $0.36 at the time of writing on Friday. Improving on-chain and derivatives data point to growing bullish interest, while the technical outlook keeps an upside breakout in focus.

Economic outlook 2026-2027 in advanced countries: Solidity test

Crypto market outlook for 2026

Year 2025 was volatile, as crypto often is.  Among positive catalysts were favourable regulatory changes in the U.S., rise of Digital Asset Treasuries (DAT), adoption of AI and tokenization of Real-World-Assets (RWA).
