The souffle effect for US indices!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
US index futures reacted to more news from the Trump Twitter handle which created the price action we have seen so many times before. A rapid move in one direction followed by an equally dramatic move in the opposite direction not long after. It's what we call the 'souffle' effect for this reason, and is one to watch out for in all markets as it offers terrific two way price action in a relatively short space of time. And of course, all confirmed with volume price analysis and the indicators. https://youtu.be/2owPUT8RGMc...

What was interesting here was the volume associated with the wide spread down candle which was the precursor to extreme volatility which followed and which is likely to continue for the next few days as markets calm after the storm. Whilst the volume associated with the candle was high, as we explained in the session, this appears to be an anomaly and certainly when compared to volume on the following day which was extreme, and highlighted this anomaly further. So what are we to make of this, and all was explained in the session as we focused on the YM emini daily chart along with other US indices. And for intraday index traders, we picked up a great move in the...
