Trade Strategy 5.30.17

Markets
 
Oil prices continue to slip… Markets are concerned that OPEC output cuts may not be enough to reduce a global oversupply after producers last week agreed to extend cuts, but kept them at current levels. Goldman Sachs has also lowered its 2017 price forecast for WTI to $52.39/bbl, pointing out that oil needs to stay around the $50 mark to discourage a ramp up in shale production.
 
In Asia, Japan flat. Hong Kong closed. China closed. India +0.2%.
In Europe, at midday, London -0.4%. Paris -0.6%. Frankfurt -0.1%.
Futures at 6:20, Dow -0.1%. S&P -0.1%. Nasdaq flat. Crude -0.4% to $49.58. Gold -0.1% to $1266.60.
Ten-year Treasury Yield flat at 2.24%

Today’s Hypotheses: June 2017 (M) 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:  Bulls will need to hold any selling at or above 2408 CD1 Low and push back above 2412 to reestablish strong bid. IF successful, THEN push for penetration and conversion of 2416 handle.

Scenario 2:  Bears currently have an opening to push lower with a violation and conversion of 2408 CD1 Low. IF successful THEN lower levels targets 2404 – 2400 breakout 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
