World stock markets have opened with a mixed trend. A couple of hours ago, in Asia major stock markets for all trading negative, while U.S. Stock futures trading slightly positive.

That indicated a mixed trend in global stock markets in this session at the start of the week. Now Asian stock markets have also turned mixed, some trading positive and some negative. Indian stock markets open with slightly positive numbers. U.S. and European stock futures 8 reading positive.

This shows that world stock markets are not following any single trend and are trading mostly on their local geopolitical, economic and technical factors.

Day trading becomes easy in such market conditions because their traders can now focus completely on their local main index, and follow its technical trend.

Expect world stock markets to trade with high volatility and remain within previous weeks range, mostly. Military tensions between the United States and Iran are still dominating world stock markets so the trend will remain volatile and uncertain.

US Stock Markets Today: Start of New Central Bank UpTrend

Posted on June 20, 2019 by Administrator

20 June 2019 (9:00 am EDT)

US Stock futures are rallying with huge gains, indicating a similar trend in US stock markets after the opening bell.

This is a new uptrend started by big central banks; the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. These big central banks have hinted at new stimulus for the economy, which usually means free liquidity pouring into the stock markets. That’s why big money is moving out of the bond Markets and into the equities, triggering a global uptrend.

We have seen this kind of very strong global uptrend in 2011, which had run for many years. So now, we are back in the same situation where US and European stock markets are expected to continue with a long uptrend, followed by global stock markets.

This “central bank uptrend” is very good for positional trading and day traders can forget all about resistance levels, and look only at support levels to buy on dips.

We have provided intraday support and resistance levels on our Pivot Trading page. But frankly, in such strong, news-based uptrend, all levels will act as support levels. Watch for markets to pause near any of these levels and then rise again. That will be the time to start taking long positions. For major indexes, these levels are:

Expect U.S. stock markets to open with big gains, and unless some negative news stops U.S. markets, these markets will continue to climb higher for many months, perhaps.

World stock markets are trading positive after the Federal Reserve hinted at a possible rate cut in near future.

All major Asian stock markets are trading with positive numbers. SGX Nifty is also positive indicating a higher opening but range bound trend in Indian stock markets.

As we wrote yesterday, Indian stock markets stop their downtrend and became range bound near their important support levels.

Today SGX Nifty is trading higher on global cues, indicating that Indian stock markets will also have a higher opening, thus building on their previous support levels and changing their short term trend.

If any major index starts trading above 20-day Moving Average on charts 1-hour chart, then it will signal a trend reversal and a positive trend in that index.

World Stock Markets Today: Higher Open, Volatile Trend

Posted on June 19, 2019 by Administrator

19 June 2019 (8:22 am IST)

18 June 2019 (10:53 pm EDT)

U.S. and European stock markets rallied in their previous session when the European Central Bank hinted at the new fiscal stimulus for the economy. We now know that stimulus from big central banks mean free capital for stock markets.

That is why bigger markets rallied and closed with big gains and today, in Asia, major stock markets are following that rally and trading higher with big margins. The exception is China markets, trading in the negative.
SGX Nifty is also trading higher indicating that Indian stock markets will see a positive opening today.

The only warning signs are being flashed by U.S. and European stock futures, that are trading flat and mixed. This raises doubts that the previous session’s rally may not continue in these bigger markets, as traders and investors wait for the Federal Reserve Bank’s policy announcement.

Day traders should cautiously watch the intraday trend in their local markets. A higher opening may turn into a volatile and range bound intraday trend. Support and resistance levels will still play a crucial role in the intraday trading pattern. So watch those levels and trade with the trendline within those levels.

Expect world stock markets to trade with choppiness and follow the trading pattern of US Stock futures and European stock markets. World stock markets have opened with higher numbers but there is no certainty that these higher numbers will sustain till the closing bell.
