MQP 18D PRE-FOMC UPDATE

HEADER - 90 min to go until FOMC.

SUMMARY - 18C didn't get lower, which really does annoy me. That seems to mean that 5/12-5/17 window is a lower low 1833. We will deal with that later.

DETAILS - Odds now favor low 1849 was the low (for now). 1855 is daily swing low 1920 tomorrow. Then zig zag to another low around 5/13-5/16 (Fri-Mon). All for now.

評論:

Aftermarket:

1. 1920 overnight.
2. If if 1940+, watch out for massive retrace to 1900.
3. In that case, 1900 would be a buy after the overnight retrace.
4. Celing for U.S. market on Thursday same as overnight high if meaningfully over 1920.
5. Like 1935-1960.
6. If overnight high 1900 or less, then it may take 2 days to hit 1950

評論:

10:05 PM ET, WED NIGHT

1. 1903 minutes ago
2. only about 2 hours left of vertical momentum, hard to see it keep going past midnight ET
3. 1925 possible, don't know if there's enough time left to get beyond that

評論:

10:25 PM ET
4. regression fractals says immediate rally window open until 1:30 AM ET
5. bar count says it's midnight
6. this isn't trivial, it's the difference between 1925 and 1955
7. use IRL DX/DY RATIO 9/17 on 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-min bars to track the waves topping
8. use 1/2 rule for trend change to watch the top if you are up tonight
9. good night

評論:

評論:

8:55 AM ET PREMARKET 1908

4. selling will be strong after 11:30

評論:

9. to clarify, bc running to 1930 HOURS BEFORE NFP IS RECIPE FOR 40 PT DROP
10. that is just how prices act... barring a giant surprise, after which you still get a delayed drop
