Stock markets stable after Middle East attacks

  1. Emini S&P June recovered most of the early losses quickly then dropped again before an over night recovery on the open. The low & high for the last session were 5927 - 6054. (To compare the spread to the contract you trade).
  2. Emini Nasdaq June collapsed to 21471 before a quick recovery to resistance at 21700/21800. Shorts here certainly worked. Last session high & low were: 21471- 21915.
  3. Emini Dow Jones June was hit hard, reaching 41920 over night. Last session high & low for the last session were: 42090 - 42954.

Emini S&P June futures

  • Emini S&P collapsed to strong support at 5950/40 & longs needed stops below 5930.

  • We beat resistance at 5995/6005 on the recovery.
  • We have been stuck in a 160 point range throughout June.
  • A low for the range at 5930/10 & a high for the range at 6050/6075.
  • Below the low of the range we test of support at 5895/85.

Nasdaq June futures

  • Emini Nasdaq made a low for the day just above the 21440/400 target.
  • We have been stuck in a 900 point range throughout June.
  • Further losses meet a buying opportunity at 21300/250 this week.
  • Resistance again at 21700/21800 but a break above 21900 this time suggests the panic is over & can target 21970/990 before a retest of 22050/22106.
Chart

Emini Dow Jones June futures

  • Emini Dow Jones longs at my buying opportunity at 42350/250 worked perfectly with a low for the day only 50 ticks lower & a 400 tick recovery.
  • In fact we had 2 chances at this buying opportunity hitting 42550/590 for profit taking.
  • Shorts at resistance at 42600/700 also worked twice - the perfect scalping day with 4 winning trades & up to 1400 ticks profit.
  • On the over night open we broke lower to my next targets of 42050/42000 & 41900/850.
  • A low for the session so far just 20 ticks above here.
  • Minor resistance at 42200/42250 so above 42300 targets 42400/42450.
  • A high for the morning is certainly possible here but shorts need stops above 42550.
  • Further gains target 42700/750.
  • A break below 41850 risks a slide to 41650, perhaps as far as 41350/300.
