Emini S&P futures

Emini S&P SEPTEMBER futures broke below 7380 but did not reach my target & support at 7345/35 (Yet).

As we are still seeing buyers on dips, we may make a low of the day here.

Longs need stops below 7325.

A break lower is a sell signal targeting 7290/7285.

Unfortunately my resistance was too tight as we beat both 7390/7395 & also 7420/7430.

We made a high for the day at the next target of 7460/7470.

First resistance at 7465/75 today & shorts need stops above 7685.

A break higher is a buy signal targeting 7500/7505 then 7530/40.

We should struggle to beat this level but I think shorts are too risky.

If we continue higher look for 7580/7590.

Emini Nasdaq futures

Emini Nasdaq SEPTEMBER hit my target & buying opportunity at 29260/210.

This was the best chance of a low for the week & we saw a bounce from 29160, allowing the long positions to be held for the bounce to targets of 29430/460 & resistance at 29560/590.

However shorts here were stopped before we reversed.

The price actions suggest we are in a sideways consolidation and we will continue to reverse quickly.

Again, a buying opportunity at 29260/210 & longs need stops below 29100.

If we do break lower there is a risk of a retest of the June low for the September contract at 28590/510.

A break below here could slide as far as a buying opportunity at 28200/28050.

Longs need stops below 27900.

Longs at 29260/210 can target 29430/460 & 29560/590.

A break higher targets resistance at 29835/865.

Shorts need stops above 29990. A break higher is a buy signal targeting 30250/290, perhaps as far as 30550/590.

Week ahead: US CPI, France’s budget crisis and Q3 earnings to set the market tone

The US dollar held relatively strong this week, despite the disappointing US jobs report on October 2, which further decreased the probability of a back-to-back rate hike by the Fed at the upcoming gathering on October 28.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
