Stock market trading conditions have changed – Is a crash coming?

Emini S&P futures

  • Emini S&P June futures I still think there is a good chance that we are about to establish a short term sideways trading range after such significant gains recently...A consolidation is normal, to ease overbought conditions.
  • But there is definitely no sell signal so I do not recommend gambling on a downturn at this stage.
  • We tested better support at the previous all time high at 7540/7535.
  • Longs needed stops below 7530.....but unfortunately we ran as far as 7525 before the strong recovery.
  • I am sticking with support at 7540/35 today but longs need stops below 7525!!
  • We do have Fibonacci support at 7517/12....longs need stops below 7500.
  • Just be aware that a break below here risks a slide to 7445/7440.
  • If we happen to recover & break the all time high at 7632, look for 7640/50, perhaps as far as 7670/7675.

Nasdaq futures

  • Emini Nasdaq June futures probably starting to form a sideways range to consolidate recent significant gains, as I warned.
  • We broke short term support at 30310/270 to target 30150/130, perhaps as far as support at 30000/29950 & longs need stops below 29850.
  • Just be aware that a break lower targets 29700/650.

Emini Dow Jones futures

  • Emini Dow Jones June longs at support at 50920/50855  worked perfectly as we held above 50720.
  • We shot higher to a new all time high at 51752.
  • Next target is 51860/890.
  • On a break above 5200 look for 52500/600.
  • First support at 51480/400 & longs need stops below 51250.

AUD/USD stays defensive below 0.7150 after Chinese data

AUD/USD remains on the back foot below 0.7150 in the Asian session on Tuesday, close to an over three-week low touched the previous day. US bond yields hold near multi-year highs ahead of the FOMC meeting and oil-driven inflation risks, supporting the US Dollar and weighing on the currency pair. Mixed Chinese activity data for August also fail to inspire the Aussie.

USD/JPY extends gains toward 155.00 amid USD resurgence

USD/JPY keeps pushing higher toward 155.00 early Tuesday, looking for more upside, as traders await the FOMC and BoJ meetings this week. Meanwhile, Fed rate-hike bets and oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields near multi-year highs, supporting the US Dollar and the pair. That said, a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ normalization path might continue to underpin the Japanese Yen and could limit USD/JPY's upside. .

Gold drops further; focus remains on $4,250

Gold adds to Monday’s pessimism and revisits the $4,260 region per troy ounce on Tuesday. The yellow metal’s extra weakness follows another positive day in the US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and steady pre-Fed caution.

Dogecoin clings to EMA support as recovery lacks conviction
Dogecoin (DOGE) hovers around $0.083 at the time of writing on Tuesday after finding support around the key support zone the previous day. Quiet institutional demand, along with mixed derivatives positioning, suggests fading interest in the dog-themed meme coin.
Markets slide as FOMC approaches
The US Dollar remains strong as markets turn increasingly cautious ahead of the FOMC. Stocks are tumbling, while Gold and Silver are moving lower under pressure from the stronger Dollar. The Japanese Yen is weaker again, while Crypto is correcting. BTC is approaching a key technical test and could fall below its 50-week moving average, while ETH remains above $2,405.
Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
