Trade Strategy 3.2.17

Markets

U.S. equities surged to all-time highs on Wednesday, with major indexes posting their best day of the year, on the back of President Trump’s speech to Congress and a more hawkish Fed. The Dow advanced about 300 points to close above 21,000 for the first time, just 24 trading sessions after it first hit 20,000. That matches the fastest-ever move between thousand-point milestones, which last happened in 1999 and took the index above 11,000.

In Asia, Japan +0.9%. Hong Kong -0.2%. China -0.5%. India -0.5%.
In Europe, at midday, London flat. Paris +0.2%. Frankfurt +0.1%.
Futures at 6:20, Dow flat. S&P -0.1%. Nasdaq flat. Crude -0.8% to $53.41. Gold -0.6% to $1242.60.
Ten-year Treasury Yield flat at 2.47%

Today’s Hypotheses: March 2017 (H) Contract

*****The levels outlined below are more general framework within a larger range…They are to be used are reference prices from which to consider trade opportunities, not hard trade levels.

Scenario 1:  IF price converts PH (2401) to upper support, THEN current rally can continue to expand with upside measuring 2404.50 – 2408.75 STATX Zone, followed by 2412.

Scenario 2:  IF price violates and converts 2385.50 Central Pivot, THE this would be initial sign of weakness, targeting 2380, followed by 2373 – 2370.50 3 Day Central Pivot Zone.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined  ALWAYS USE STOPS!

Good Trading…David
