Stock markets tumble on the Iran attack

  1. Emini S&P June has collapsed as Israel attacks Iran. The low & high for the last session were 5987 - 6051. (To compare the spread to the contract you trade)

  2. Emini Nasdaq June has collapsed to 21471. Last session high & low were: 21713- 21977.

  3. Emini Dow Jones June has collapsed to 42199. Last session high & low for the last session were: 42586 - 43002.

Emini S&P June futures

  • Emini S&P tested support at 6010/6000 & longs needed stops below 5990, which was tricky as we over ran to 5988 before a 600 tick recovery.

  • Over night we collapsed to strong support at 5950/40 & longs needed stops below 5930.

  • We made a low for the over night session so far at 5927.50 & of course conditions are more volatile as the situation develops.

  • If we continue lower look for a test of support at 5895/85.

  • Longs need stops below 5875.

  • We are likely to meet resistance at 5995/6005 but a break above 6010 suggests the panic is over.

Chart

Nasdaq June futures

  • Emini Nasdaq made a low for the day at strong support at 21750/680 yesterday with an impressive recovery from 21713 to 21977.

  • The break lower over night risks a slide to 21440/400 (a low at 21471 as I write) & perhaps as far as a buying opportunity at 21300/250.

  • Resistance at 21700/21800 but a break above 21900 suggests the panic is over.

Chart

Emini Dow Jones June futures

  • Emini Dow Jones made a low for the day almost exactly at support at 42660/600 before we shot higher to 43000 for up to 350 ticks profit on the longs.

  • The break lower over night hit my target & buying opportunity at 42350/250 & longs need stops below 42100.

  • Just be aware that a break below 42100 can target 42050/42000, perhaps as far as 41900/850.

  • Longs at at 42350/250 can target 42400/450, perhaps as far as 42550/590 for profit taking.

  • Further gains meet resistance at 42600/700 & shorts need stops above 42850.

EUR/USD flatlines below 1.1800 amid trading lull, awaits Fed Minutes

EUR/USD trades around a flatline below 1.1800 in European trading on Tuesday. The pair lacks any trading impetus as the US Dollar moves little amid market caution ahead of the Fed's December Meeting Minutes release, which could offer insights into the Federal Reserve’s 2026 outlook.

GBP/USD retakes 1.3500 despite the year-end grind

GBP/USD finds fresh demand and retakes 1.3500 on Tuesday as markets grind through the last trading week of the year. Despite the latest uptick, the pair is unlikely to see further progress due to the year-end holiday volumes.

Gold holds the bounce on Fed rate cut bets, safe-haven flows

Gold holds the rebound near $4,350 in the European trading hours on Tuesday. The precious metal recovers some lost ground after falling 4.5% in the previous session, which was Gold's largest single-day loss since October. Increased margin requirements on gold and silver futures by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group, one of the world’s largest trading floors for commodities, prompted widespread profit-taking and portfolio rebalancing.

Crypto market outlook for 2026

Year 2025 was volatile, as crypto often is.  Among positive catalysts were favourable regulatory changes in the U.S., rise of Digital Asset Treasuries (DAT), adoption of AI and tokenization of Real-World-Assets (RWA).
