oh dear - i forgot about that

i seem to remember that during expiry they try to push market to where the biggest open interest is, today that was 16,600 calls at 5825

Is the FED policy hurting the UK economy .
i.e stopping foreign investment and hurting UK exports.
And would the BOE fire back against the FED, like Japan.
Increasing tariffs against US company imports is being talked about in Asia.

 

[et.]

On my interpretation of Elliot waves, we've had couple of 61%+ pullbacks, now we're in a 23-38% wave 4 or zig-zag. Yesterday's pullback was just a shade before 61% retrace from last range low. Maybe we'll reach 61% this time.

This Elliot wave is visible up to the hour chart, which would suggest we are now at a bearish zig-zag in wave 3.

It's not impossible that we could be going down even more... my 6221 prediction may be on hold for a while.

 

[et.]

Is the 38% Fib line going to hold? If it does and we stay above 5842 at 1pm then the hour chart will look like its had its Wave 4.

EW not visible at 2hr chart (wave 2 61% pullback cannot be seen).

Of course, it might just blast all the way up and confound me.

As for low, on day chart we have opposing tails at 5822. That's been a sign of S/R level before.

cya monday enjoy your weekend Bustech

 

[et.]

1 hour EW has had its Wave 4.

If it is a truncated Wave 5 it doesn't have to reach a new low. Otherwise 5822 looks good, or anywhere below 5836.

Large divergence between Dow (+40) and FTSE (-20).

[SuddenDeath]

ftse v everyone else

FTSE has been devastated by option expiry jiggery pokery

 

[barjon]

ftse v everyone else

it beginning to catch up - pair's doing ok now

 

[SuddenDeath]

ftse v everyone else

Dow closed at 5 year highs and nasdaq closed at 12 year highs, they have a stealth bull market, they climbed a wall of worry.

If any of the spreadbetting companies had an honest quote for VIX it would be worth going long.

all markets well above their buy pivots indicating deep technical strength

 

[Dick Lexic]

diverging from dow since 14th i think
