I was looking at the ES volume before and noticed how atrocious the Volume is "after hours". Isn't ES supposed to be the most liquid after Forex and Bonds? (And why am I getting notifications of posts in this thread @Overnight I've never traded an ES in my life or posted in here?)
No idea. Maybe you changed your notification settings. Ask ET management. As for ES having such low liquidity? Well, we've been having that all year in ES. Rarely are we now seeing volumes pass 1.3 million contracts, and now that summer is upon us? It will be staying low, so more whipsaw going into the summer vaca sessions.
Another option expiration week ended in absolute stalemate between the bulls and bears. Funny enough, it looks like everyone from the hedge fund industry told me they are forced to buy in the hope of a melt up from here … I don’t know what to say. Here is a video on the stock market talking about the bullish scenario. I don’t agree with Jason Shapiro point of view but then what do I know since I am just a day trader. My personal take on the current trading /investing environment has not changed. It is simply not about the financial news or what central banks do at all. The future hangs on the geopolitical landscape going forward and any development on that front will decide what goes up and what goes down. https://thelawrencechan.com/tlc-weekly-update-april-22-2023/
I guess we'll be safe for just a bit longer. But once we drop below 4100, ya better get your ass out quick.
Went short 4150.50. had to wait a while but finally broke my way. stop now at 4148.00 will wait here until mr. market shows me I was wrong.
What a shop fest Went short 1h ago and took a BE Now I am long and ... it's going nowhere Can't even take out 48.25 Out 50.75 Way too early. Printed HOD 52.5 See you later
It looks like it’s getting ready for a rally, AAPL earnings on May 4th, representing 7.2% of SPX, 77% probability of AAPL rising statistically into earnings, beats earnings way more than misses roughly 90% chance of earnings beat. Buy the rumour, sell the news.
The way I see it, it isn’t exactly cheap at present, trading on x28.6 times earnings. But stats are stats.
“The S&P is already up over 9% from its mid-March lows. History suggests that the short-term rally is over. If the S&P is going to march higher again, it will need to sell off first before doing so.” We got 5-7 naked POCs down below, not exactly on a solid footing for a continuous rally. SPY daily got 395-405 large gap to fill.
