Emini S&P March futures

  • Emini S&P shorts at resistance at 5645/50 worked perfectly as did longs at support at 5540/30.

  • I expect resistance at 5678/88 today & shorts need stops above 5700.

  • Targets: 5650, 5635, 5620

  • A break above 5700 can target 5730 & resistance at 5770/80. Shorts need stops above 5790.

  • Support again at 5540/30 & longs need stops below 5520.

  • Targets: 5555, 5570, 5585.

  • A break below 5510 is a sell signal targeting 5500, 5680, perhaps as far as 5660.

Chart

Nasdaq March futures

  • Emini Nasdaq made a low for the day exactly at the buying opportunity at 19250/150.

  • Again longs need stops below 19000 on a retest today - perhaps this will be the low for the correction.

  • A break below 19000 is a sell signal targeting 18850, 18600

  • Minor resistance at 19600/620 was tested with a high for the day at 19686 & we should struggle here again today - Yesterday I said we may reverse and retest the buying opportunity at 19250/150.

  • This is exactly what happened & could do again today

  • However a break above 19700 can target 19850/950 with a good chance of a high for the day here but shorts need stops above 20050

Chart

Emini Dow Jones March futures

  • We made a high for the day exactly at resistance at 42100/200 & collapsed to my target of 41400/41200 with a low for the day exactly here.

  • A perfect call!!

  • 41300/41200 is important support today.

  • Targets on the bounce are 41650 & 41800.

  • I expect strong resistance at 42100/200 & shorts need stops above 42350.

  • A break below 40950 is a sell signal targeting 40700/600, perhaps as far as 40200.

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.
