Markets
Global equities were higher at the time of writing and were set to end what’s been a brutal three months on a positive note. Many major markets have suffered their worst quarter for a number of years amid fears about China’s economy and the endless speculation about when the Fed will finally raise interest rates, and almost $11T has been wiped off the value of global shares. Emerging-market currencies have been hit particularly hard.

Today’s Hypotheses: December (Z) 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: Price has rallied 29 handles in overnight trade reaching 1898.50 CD1 Penetration Target. Most upside objectives have been met, so any pullback during cash session will need to illicit responsive buyers…Additional upside targets to consider are 1901.75, then 1908.50 – 1910 Average Cycle Rally Target.
Scenario 2: Violation and conversion of 1890.00 SPOT opens door for deeper downside. Levels to be mindful of are: 1883.50, 1878.50, 1873.50 SPOTS.
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
