Which Open Loop Closes First? Bulls or Bears?

Which Open Loop Closes First? Bulls or Bears?

We’re back to our desks for the second week of January, and with lots of stimulus talk on the news feeds, combined with those big open-loop moves we saw last Friday, there is a ton of opportunity baked-into these markets this week…

The Emini has a pair of open-loops both above and below last week’s trading-range, which means both buyers and sellers should see great opportunities around the edges of the range…

Gold may be bearish in the long-term, but this morning’s “rotation off the low” is a massive clue for the bulls going into Tuesday, and Crude Oil still has the open-loop left wide open from last Friday’s remarkable run higher…

My biggest question is – who’s open-loop will get closed first? Here’s my plan…

3 Pullbacks to Watch on Non-Farm Friday

3 Pullback Trades for Non-Farm Payrolls

Hope you’re having a great first week of the New Year!

Tomorrow is Non-Farm Friday, which means we have the biggest news of the month being released just before the opening bell, along with a smaller window of opportunity to find the best setups…

The Emini and Crude Oil are both bullish, so I’ll be looking to get long at support levels using failure patterns below today’s ranges…

On the other hand, Gold is bearish so I’ll be selling short at resistance levels above the range with bull traps. Are you ready? Let’s get started…

Dont forget – the overnight session is often slow and sloppy ahead of Friday’s big NFP report, so dont push it! I’ll see you in the trade room and we’ll do it together tomorrow morning!

Are Sellers Out of Options? (Friday’s Trade Plan)

Are Sellers Out of Options? (Friday's Trade Plan)

We’re headed into Friday’s trading session, and with most of our favorite markets trading sideways within ranges, I’ll be looking for breakouts and failure patterns on the charts tomorrow morning…

Speaking of the charts, it looks like sellers on Gold and Emini ES are running out of options to keep this week’s momentum running lower…

Knowing this, I’ll be looking for ways to trap sellers around the edges of the ranges for a short-covering rally tomorrow morning. Are you ready?

But the biggest clue I see, are how well the markets are respecting the pendulum swings above/below the weekly trading-ranges. I’m going to use those levels for the best entries and exits tomorrow morning. Are you ready?
