US Stock Markets Today: Lower Opening, Rangebound Trend

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Administrator

12 August 2019 (9:20 am EDT)

As we wrote in the previous post, US stock futures fell with big margins on worries about strife escalation in Hong Kong.

There has not been much recovery in these numbers and now we are looking at a highly negative opening in US stock markets today.

Despite that, major US indexes are expected to trade with their last two sessions’ trading range. As seen on daily charts, major indexes had a gap up opening last Thursday and traded within the same range on Friday. Today also, the same trading range is expected to be in play for these indexes.

For bigger intraday range levels, check our Pivot Trading page where daily support and resistance levels are provided. These levels are:

Expect US stock markets to open lower but trade sideways within the previous range. Dow Jones is safe in this range as long as the index trades above 26,000. The risk of a negt8ave trend will arise only if Dow Jones falls below this support level.

World Stock Markets Today: Turning Negative on Geopolitical Risks

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Administrator

12 August 2019

Just when everything looked positive for world stock markets, the news that Hong Kong has canceled all flights made global stocks to fall. The Dollar rallied higher, Gold also rose and Oil priced crashed fell with big margins.

US stock futures and European stock markets, that were earlier trading with healthy gains, plunged in to negative. SGX Nifty was trading with 40 points’ gains but this futures index of India’s Nifty 50 also erased all those gains and turned negative.

Three big Asian stock markets: Japan, Singapore, and India are closed today for local holidays. Other Asian stock markets had been trading positive in their session, creating a positive trend for global stocks.

But the news from Hong Kong has now rattled world stock markets. Hong Kong has been troubled by citizens’ protest for over two months now. The protests are against a controversial extradition bill. Now the situation has become a risk for global stock markets as the US, The UK and China become embroiled in a war of words over Hong Kong.

Markets fear that the volatile situation in Hong Kong can turn into a full-blown geopolitical risk.

As a result, US stock futures have turned highly negative at the time of writing. Dow Jones futures have fallen by more than 100 points. European stock markets have also quickly given up their gains.

If the situation remains the same, we can expect a negative opening in US stock markets in a few hours from now.

Today, US stock futures are trading negative so we can expect US stock markets to trade within yesterday’s new range, above the trading range of previous few sessions.

In a rangebound trend, traders should watch both support and resistance levels and trade within those levels, with the short duration trend. We have provided such level for intraday trading on our Pivot Trading page. These levels are:

US stock markets have traded with extreme volatility this week, swinging between high and low marks. Today also, volatility levels could remain high. Day traders should wait and watch markets till a clear intraday trend emerges, then trade with that trend.

Indian Stock Markets Today: Support Stronger, Trend Reversal Signal

Posted on August 9, 2019 by Administrator

9 August 2019 (8:50 am IST)

SGX Nifty is trading flat in this session, indicating that yesterday’s support and closing hour’s rally is still in place, indicating a positive or flat opening for Indian stock markets.

This week, Indian stock markets have started making “higher low” in daily charts which is a trend reversal signal. Major indexes have made “double bottom” formation (line charts) in the daily timeframe which also signals support and possibility of a trend reversal.

Nifty has made a bottom of 10,800 and from there, the index has been getting strong support near 10,850. Yesterday, the index closed above the important level of 11,000.

We have been discussing the 20-Day Moving Average on monthly charts, which falls near 11,040 and was a support for Nifty till the index recently broke it.

Now, if Nifty starts trading above this level then it will again become support and we can expect Nifty to rise till 11,300 where it will meet another resistance of 9-Day MA on monthly charts.

These are long term support and resistance levels. Short term or daily levels are provided on our Pivot Trading page. For major indexes, these levels are:

The opening trade in Indian stock markets will be between yesterday’s high mark and closing level. If major indexes open below the previous closing (or a negative opening) then the intraday trend will remain rangebound within yesterday’s trading range.\

However, if major indexes have a positive opening and start trading above the previous high mark, then yesterday’s rally will continue in Indian stock markets and support levels will become stronger and higher.

8 August 2019 (11:19 pm EDT)

US stock markets built on their previous support and had an impressive rally in their overnight session. Dow Jones reclaimed 26,000 and closed much higher than this important support.

That rally has supported world stock markets in this session and in spite of highly negative US stock futures, other markets are trading mostly positive on their local cues. Traders have even ignored the lower mid-point of yuan set by China for today.

Now, it seems, support is getting stronger in world stock markets as US stock markets bounce back after their recent fall. Day traders should focus on their local index and trade with its own support and resistance levels.

At the time of writing, major Asian stock markets are trading mixed, but mostly positive. SGX Nifty is flat, indiacting a support for Indian stock markets. US and European stock futures are considerably negative, which is not unusal after previous session’s rally so nobody is bothered about these numbers. also, there is no ceratinity that these lower numbers will continue through the session.

Expect world stock markets to trade within their weekly or daily range in this last session of the week. Market volatility could remain high like recent few sessions.

US stock Markets Today: Monthly Downtrend Continues

Posted on August 7, 2019 by Administrator

6 August 2019 (9:00 am EDT)

US stock markets had a healthy recovery yesterday but today’s deep losses in US stock futures are indicating that the previous gains will be wiped out in today’s opening itself of US stock markets.

US stock futures had a highly volatile global session today; starting with negative numbers, then turning positive and now, just a few minutes ago these futures crashed again when President Trump tweeted against the Federal Reserve’s hawkish policy.

US stock futures are now 1% down, indicating a big gap down opening in US stock markets today. Although that kind of opening will still keep US stocks within this week’s trading range. We’ll need to wait and see if these markets continue to slide further after a highly negative open or become rangebound within this week’s range.

For rangebound markets, knowing the intraday pivot levels can be helpful in anticipating the trading range. These levels are provided on our Pivot Trading page and are:

US stock markets are in a strong downtrend on monthly and weekly charts, After yesterday’s breather, that downtrend is expected to resume today. These markets have been highly volatile in the last few sessions so small traders should be cautious and start their day trading only after the opening volatility is over and a clear intraday trend emerges.
