Emini S&P futures

Emini S&P September futures collapsed below strong support at 7605/7590 & support at 7570/7560 to hit 7472 on a hawkish FOMC meeting.

However over night we have recovered well to what should be resistance at 7560/7570.

This should be key to direction today. Failure to beat this resistance risks a slide to 7540/35.

A bounce from here is possible but longs need stops below 7425.

A break lower targets 7515/05.

Below 7495 risks a retest of yesterday's low & support at 7477/72.

Longs need stops below 7460.

A break above 7575 is a buy signal targeting 7590/7595.

Above 7600 look for 7618/23.

Emini Nasdaq futures

Emini Nasdaq SEPTEMBER collapsed to my lower target & support at 30050/30000.

A low for the day was expected here & we saw a very strong bounce from 29923.

Longs worked perfectly on the recovery to 30438.

Holding above 30400/30300 is more positive for today, targeting 30550/600.

We should struggle here but shorts may be too risky in the longer term bull trend.

Further gains can target 30730/780 then 30910/970. If we continue higher this week, we can retest the September contract high at 31100.

A break higher targets 31130/190 then 31450/500 & even 31770/830 is possible.

A break below 30300 risks a retest of strong support at 30050/30000 which should hold the downside at this stage.

Longs need stops below 29880.

Emini Dow Jones futures

Emini Dow Jones SEPTEMBER collapsed to 51839 but we are seeing a good recovery to 52273 over night.

Yesterday we posted a bearish engulfing candle but i am not going to pay attention to this formation at this stage.

Minor resistance at 52370/400 but above here can target 52610/660, before a retest of the new all time high at 52734.

Further gains can target 52880/930 & 53220/270.

Above here look for 53440/490.

First support at 52150/050 & longs need stops below 51950.

GBP/USD flirts with tops near 1.3470

EUR/USD trims losses, back above 1.1500

EUR/USD picks up some pace and bouces off earlier lows, reclaiming the 1.1500 threshold and beyond at the end of the week. The pair’s modest pullback follows a persistent risk-averse market mood and renewed buying interest for the US Dollar.

Gold: The $4,000 mark holds the downside for now

Gold faces renewed selling pressure, falling sharply toweard the $4,000 mark per troy ounce as the US Dollar regains momentum. Escalating US-Iran tensions are keeping inflation concerns and expectations of further Fed rate hikes alive, weighing further on the yellow metal.

Bitcoin eyes 50-day EMA breakout, Ethereum consolidates, XRP steadies

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple trade near key technical levels on Friday as the broader cryptocurrency market pauses following last week's recovery. BTC is approaching the 50-day Exponential Moving Average while ETH continues to consolidate between two major EMAs.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation

We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
