Swing Trades DAX/DOW/NQ/GOLD

DAX elevated to its ATH again. Making a lower high here?

New ATH at 23.500 so far

US markets have to climp a huge TPO mountain. RS zone (POC)

Once on the top they will get some more MM to recover.

FDXM Short 1 lot from ATH zone 497 +1.5%/DR2 zone
Closed +30/31p

He will likely send Musk to sack half the work force. That will boost production.

NQ pulled back to 50& of the Buy Power bar

Short last lot
Closed +19/20p at -1.5% zone

See if WS1 holds this time

Back inside RTH OR. Closed my short (little) to early. Hindsight

Will the higher low (so far) hold? Or do they tank again?
Doesn't look good so far

22.000 & 5700 are easy down targets now.

You should imagine the TPO mountain like this.

A slow climb to the top and then sliding down to the North

MNQ Short again 20.245 3 lot (below RTH OR) Testing MS1 again 150 zone
T1 +55/57p 2 lot

MNQ Long 164 from MS1 zone
Last lot
T1 +15/17p 2 lot

Closed +20/21p last lot

Could still become a higher low
But likely gone visit 20K before the end of the day

Buyers hidden in their caves. To scared to come out

MS2 at 19.400 zone. All options are open and on the table
In about 2/3 weeks Futures roll over.
I can imagine they will try to recover at some point to reduce the damage a little.

Took less then 2 weeks to drop from 22.500 zone down to 20K zone
Will likely take much longer to recover again.

MNQ Long 21.174 last loT1 +19/22p 2 lot
1 left. SL -40p. If hit its a BE trade

Last lot closed -40p. BE trade

Target 20.250

Could be a double bottom.
SnP also playing with a double bottom now

Done for today

Steve Rattner fact checks Trump's address: 'An empty promise. Can't happen. Won't happen'

For who is interested in some fact checking of Trumps claims.

Politics
Trump blames ‘globalists’ for stock market sell-off

Sad. Of course. Trump pinned the blame elsewhere. You have to blame somebody............

"I think it’s globalists that see how rich our country’s going to be, and they don’t like it."

Over the course of an hour, Trump used “globalist” to describe people, companies and countries, making it difficult to pin down specifically what he was talking about.

But during his first term, Trump repeatedly denounced a set of ideas he called “globalism,” and labeled some of his political opponents “globalists,” as he pushed his nationalist, isolationist worldview.


He issued temporary exemptions for many goods coming into the U.S. from the two neighboring countries.
He denied that those pauses came in response to the market rout.

“Nothing to do with the market,” he said, adding, “I’m not even looking at the market.” LOL

“There’ll always be a little short term interruption,” he said. “

Markets are taking a break after some very Vola & hostile weeks.

Still very bearish

SnP needs to get above 5850 to get bullish again
Nq needs to get above 20.500 to get bullish again
Every long trade below these levels can be considered as a counter trade with a lot of choppy moves.

First down targets:
SnP 5700
NQ 20K again


Waiting for Non Farm employment numbers and waiting what kind of plans Trump made up during the night.
