Need to know market risk @ FinancialJuice.com
- ECB’s Kazimir: I see a clear need for a 50 bps rate hike in September.
- 175 basis-points of Fed hikes seen by September, with at least one 75 basis-points move.
- ECB depo rate is seen at 0.75% in October, implying 2 half-point hikes.
- 125 basis-points of ECB hikes priced by October puts two 50 basis-points hikes in play.
- Iran: Nuclear deal is still possible and within reach.
Today’s Data

Yesterday’s Market Profile and Price Action Debrief

Market profile, debriefing Friday 10th June
Post CPI data and no buyers to be found into the open at 3950.57. The RTHRegular trading hours. The official opening and closing time... More session opened with a gigantic gap More to the previous settle at 4016.
Given the large liquidation moves the from previous day and move post CPI, buyers were hoping for some relief. ONOvernight Session More inventory was short, very short! Remember we can expect some adjustment if ONOvernight Session More inventory is overly short. We were looking for a reaction onOvernight Session More the open, an adjustment back towards prior value.
With all eyes onOvernight Session More the open, a brief and tepid attempt to adjust higher failed @3959.5, and the proverbial sharks then entered the fray to finish off the kill. A straight line down to the prior month’s HVNHigh volume node, or peak. An area that has been well traded... More 3900 area.
An emotional long liquidation b-profile. Some stubborn support was found at the 3900 area and remained so forming a ledge before briefly being breached to a low of 3898.75. KEY INFO* Some short covering into the weekend creating a JDAPBH of 3944 before selling off into the close. Closing very weak onOvernight Session More the day’s lows @ 3898.75.
I will be observing the Friday lows 3898/3900 for a continuation to test the HTF (Higher time frame target) and yearly lows 3808. The Sunday open will be particularly interesting to see if BTFD traders are still interested into an increasingly hawkish FOMC and BOE next week. Should the lows break, I will be looking for a continuation down to 3876, 3854, 3832, 3809
Buyers will want to end the OTFDOne time frame down. More onOvernight Session More a daily and will need to get over a few hurdles first at 3944 the spike base from Friday’s auction and 3959.5. Then they have the task of filling in the gap More first to 4016 and then 4067 with a pitstop at 4046 along the way.

ON Update -BIG ON MOVES-


An ONOvernight Session More gap More (see important chart above) from the prior low/close and no attempt by buyers to lift from the Sunday re-open. The auction moved to slice through all major references until finding a temporary bottom at the century figure 3800. I don’t normally focus onOvernight Session More the ONOvernight Session More internals but in this case given the higher volume and obvious HTF participation I will.
I will be treating the ONOvernight Session More distribution as a multi-trend auction type and each break lower will define the outer edges of smaller trading zones to will focus onOvernight Session More.
ONOvernight Session More inventory is SHORT! Very short and it would be interesting to see if we can get a better reaction/ readjustment off the open than we did onOvernight Session More Friday post ECB. A failure to see a positive reaction will give sellers more confidence to dive lower.
OPEN PLAN 13.06.2022
Observing the ONOvernight Session More Low 3798 and the LVNLow volume node, or a trough in volume or TPO chart. More onOvernight Session More today’s ONOvernight Session More session 3823 3859 and Ultimately the ONOvernight Session More Open and high at 3878.5. Want to see if buyers find value onOvernight Session More the open if that is the case price should not hang around too long.
The question I am asking myself: WILL WE SEE AN ONOvernight Session More INVENTORY ADJUSTMENT? How strong is it? If weak will likely continue lower. 3787 3750 HTF levels I am observing.

Live Journal MONDAY 13.06.2022
AND WE ARE OFF!
07.30 Open auction Out of range buyers and sellers testing either side of the ONOvernight Session More distribution low node. 3823-3798. See chart above. I don’t see buyers rushing to load up down here… Observing 3823-3798
09.30 Finally seen the break from the 3798, notice the stepping Lower highs off the open into the beak as sellers seek liquidity.
1036 CT Stalking short at 3786 VWApThe VWAP or Volume-Weighted-Average-Price is a moving averag... More and session MID. Taken ac couple of losses trying to get short already onOvernight Session More the small size.
1039 Taking a scale-out around 68 was not a bad idea if you jumped onOvernight Session More that short at VWAPThe VWAP or Volume-Weighted-Average-Price is a moving averag... More. 20points to take some risk off. Auction is starting to rotate so you want be finding the edges of small balance areas to focus your order entries.
What gave me some confidence in the trade was a confluence with the mID and my prepped levels@3786. Seeing volume increasing into VWAPThe VWAP or Volume-Weighted-Average-Price is a moving averag... More is a good sign too.

1230 CT Update Recognise balance and Trade balance Top clues from the day that the balance playbook was in play.
- Early auction dominated by short continuation halts at key reference point illustrated in the ONOvernight Session More prep 3850 area.
- Buyers squeeze late shorts all the way up the open auction area BUT fail to get above the opening high. Sellers then push back to the IB LOWThe lowest value that is printed from the opening 1 hour of ... More BUT not below (50lots trade 0.25 points below the IBInitial balance in the futures is traditionally the first ho... More)
- A reversal back up the day’s range slicing through the MID to test the other side of the range.
TOP TIP: Once you have seen us test both sides of a range and the MID no longer holding we likely are in balance. Trade Balance RULES
