Market Outlook for Next Week (US):Key Catalysts to Watch: Earnings Reports: Major U.S. banks, including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, will release their Q4 2024 earnings next week. These reports will provide critical insights into the financial sector's health and could drive significant market movements. Economic Data: Updates on corporate profits and other macroeconomic indicators will be closely monitored. Recent data showed a decline in U.S. corporate profits (-0.4%), suggesting potential headwinds for business performance. Federal Reserve Statements: Investors will look for signals from the Fed on monetary policy, particularly regarding future rate hikes or pauses. Any comments related to inflation or labor market strength could sway market sentiment. Outlook: Given these catalysts, heightened volatility is expected. Markets may face headwinds if corporate earnings disappoint or if Fed commentary hints at continued hawkishness. However, stronger-than-expected earnings or dovish Fed signals could provide tailwinds for equities. Overall, next week’s direction will likely depend on a mix of earnings surprises and macroeconomic data outcomes.

The Trump Pump and DumpMarkets across several asset classes have seen a large move to the upside, following the confirmation of Donald Trump winning the US presidential election. We have seen a massive volume injection sending stocks soaring within the 45 days following, with many companies gaining 50% and more on average in a short period of time. At the moment, we have been trading in largely oversold territories, while declining in overall volume. Additionally, the notorious Santa clause rally was cut short, as market participants were hoping for a rally into the end of the year, which unfortunately ended with a sell off after the federal reserve rate cut in mid December. Several stats do point to a negative quarter when we do not see a strong end to the previous year. Although market crashes are influenced by a complex interplay of factors, often unpredictable and interdependent. Here are some plausible reasons why a market pullback could occur in January 2025: Economic Data Disappointments: Unexpectedly high inflation, slowing economic growth, or poor employment reports could signal an economic downturn. Federal Reserve Policy: A sudden or unexpected interest rate hike, or minimal rate cuts to stimulate the economy by the Federal Reserve might spook investors, leading to a sell-off. Geopolitical Tensions: Escalation of conflicts or political instability in key regions could disrupt global supply chains or create uncertainty in markets. Corporate Earnings Misses: Weak earnings reports from major corporations, especially tech giants, could shake investor confidence. Debt Concerns: A significant default, either by a major corporation or a government, could create ripple effects across global markets. Tech Sector Weakness: Overvalued tech companies could face corrections, dragging down indices where they hold significant weight. Systemic Financial Risks: A failure of a major financial institution could undermine trust in the financial system. End of Year Tax Selling or Portfolio Rebalancing: Excessive tax-loss harvesting or portfolio adjustments in late 2024 could lead to low liquidity and amplified volatility in January. Global Health Crisis: Renewed concerns about pandemics or other health emergencies might impact investor sentiment and economic activity. All in all, to visualize strength in the market I would like to see the SP500 trade above the 600 level on the SPY , or 6000 on Futures. Until then, the risk of downside does seem very real to move into the gap formed by the market just below 5700 on the ES futures, which could be a critical turning point in the market. Only time will tell..

Combined US Equities - Critical Support Line drawnAs expected, not a good finish, not a great start. Now, a potential trend change pattern might be forming. This pattern has a series of two of each Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL). With that criteria fulfilled (LL 926 and 925.75), the Critical Support Line can be drawn at 925.75. A breach and breakdown to close below 925.75 is likely to send the US equities market reeling over and down the cliff. This is the trend change pattern that is very reliable. Noted that the RoVD indicator has crossed below the zero line, bearish. Watch the Critical Support Line, and the TDST lines now...

ES still in decision after drop before xmasBond Auction Demand Analysis The recent 10-year Bond Auction showed weaker demand with a 0.2 tails basis point, indicating reduced investor interest compared to previous auctions. The high bid-to-cover ratio of 2.53 suggests challenges for the stock market rally as investors seek higher yields. A 30-year Bond Auction on January 9th will provide further insights into market trends. Jobless Claims Report Impact The Initial Jobless Claims report showed favorable results, which could support a steady move in the market, particularly in the CME_MINI:ESH2025 ES index. Traders are closely monitoring these developments as they assess the implications for interest rates and overall market performance. Market Reaction and Expectations During the first session of the US market, there was little decision-making movement, indicating a need for more information on market reactions. With a national holiday approaching and a 30-year Bond Auction scheduled, a quieter market is expected in the interim.

1/8 Daytrade idea1/8 ES plan updated. Anyone who’s been following can see we are back to extreme volatility, gone are the days of 10 point chops and now we can easily move 40+ points in a single 30 min candle. We are in a downtrend with what I described a few days ago as crash and squeeze, crash and squeeze. For today, the next selloff comes at the loss of yesterday’s low, which can take price below 5900. To get a squeeze, price will need to reclaim the 20dma first ~6020, from there it can easily make its way back to retest 6070. Bulls only take the ball if they manage to reclaim 6085. Until then safe to assume Short the pop is the theme with wide range squeeze and crash, and crash and squeeze. We could do very well with disciplined trades from major level to major level. Good luck!

S&P 500 struggles at the 1/4 Warning LineLet's not make trading harder than it is. All we can do is project - or read the Coffee ground. I'll prefer to use my projections with the Medianlines, using the Fork as my main tool. The nice part with this is, that I can relay on a proven framework with rules. Adding some risk & money management to it and the soup is ready to enjoy. So, I follow the same process with the ES. I see that price got rejected at the 1/4 line of the WL (Warning Line), and that price missed it to reach the WL1, which is a HAGOPIAN. That makes me lean on the rule, that price will go farther in the opposite direction than from where price came from (U-MLH). I outlined the scenarios with the arrows what to expect in the next weeks. Personally I'm overall very, very bearish, and I see the move to the Centerline coming. But this is just my opinion.
