Good Evening and I hope you are well.

comment: We will likely have a big breakout tomorrow or Wednesday. Right now I still favor the bears since we are in a bear trend but if we print 21701, it’s over and market is neutral again on higher time frames. Today’s high 21266 is not the best stop for shorts but if we just continue down from US close, it will have to do.

current market cycle: trading range or continuation of the bear trend - answer will be given on Tuesday

key levels: 19000 - 22000 yeah. no typo.

bull case: Bulls want to stay above the 4h 20ema and break above the closest bear trend line from 22350. If they print a higher high tomorrow, we could gain enough momentum by shorts covering that we test 21500 and the next bear trend line that started this bear trend a month ago close to the ath. Bears have not printed one good bear bar on the 4h chart since Thursday after EU close. That increases the odds for the bulls somewhat but still have my doubts.

Invalidation is below 21000.

bear case: Bears need to make lower highs below 21226 and lower lows below 20900 early tomorrow or bulls will continue higher and bears have to cover. We are near two very important trend lines and they either hold or we go much higher again. We have been on a broad bull channel since Thursday and market has not moved up that much given the volatility the days before. Tough guesses tbh but I will continue to look for trades only near the extremes and on good momentum.

Invalidation is above 21300.

short term: Neutral. Mabye a bit bearish if we get decent selling going early tomorrow. 20900 - 21226 is the current range and we will likely break out of it tomorrow.

medium-long term from 2024-03-16: Bear trend is ongoing but for now I still think 19500 and below is an amazing buy if you can hold for years. Things will have to turn really bad for this market to find acceptance below the bull trend line from the covid lows and right now this trade war is just front running. Markets were not priced for risk 3 weeks ago but this drop was too much too fast. My bearish targets for this year are met and with the current environment I will not call for lower prices than 19000. If the trade war turns real bad, yeah sure but for now it’s not.

current swing trade: None

trade of the day: Buying the globex gap close or the double bottom 20900. Why? Because every time market dipped below 20970 today, we rallied back up.
