DX - Where too for the USD on the Anchor Chart

Posted by kurtosisT

This is a weekly of the Dollar Index which hints that there could be more downside risk although the indicators suggest in the near term that it looks oversold.

Using some fibonacci analysis the chart highlights that if you take the move from 87.68 level to 78.83 level the retracement from that was very small we only pulled back to 38.2% level before seeing a continuation of the downtrend.  Based off that move the 61.8% extension coincides with the April Lows.

Unfilled Gaps To Watch On The Way Back Down!

Posted by kurtosisT


As in previous post I talked about how unfilled gaps as a general rule return to fill so its worthy of a post to highlight this to you all that on the way down we have some key levels that may present opportunities to trade based off these unfilled gaps.

Unfill Gaps

1. 988.75 back down to 984.50

2. 981.25 back down to 975

This also applies to the other indexes YM (1. 9150 down to 9126 and 2. 9081 down to 9047) and NQ (1610 down to 1602).

Hope this helps.

Pre market Gap thoughts

Posted by kurtosisT

Todays Gap looks and feels a bit like Thursdays action - Professional Gap.

Important points I am considering on today’s action

1. Possible opening between R1 and R2  (988.75 to 995.75 Globex session) this can indicate higher chance of it being a professional gap

2. Possible opening higher than two days prior which was 30th July peaked at 994

3. Monday’s tend to be bad days for gap fills

These are my early thoughts current price is 994 on ES so if we stay here I am going to pass on this one.
