Hedge funds, according to COT data are very active in accumulating longing positions, and it fixed above the technical horizontal level on the daily chart. 

Market makers could absorb that liquidity and unload it lower.

Moreover, the activity in Put options is stronger than in Calls and the minimum payouts level is also much lower. So I am 🐻 bearish in crude oil, if you also think so, put 👍 and have a nice Sunday!

​​​​​​​Good evening, traders! 👋

Today I decided to make a video market forecast highlighting situations in British Pound (6B), Aussi (6A), Coffee (KC), Crude and Brent Oil (CL, BR).

Also measured possible continuations of scenarios that I executed in my previous Sunday forecast.

This 11-minute video is for you today 

Thank you very much for watching.

Have a good week!

Good evening, TVT traders! 

Today I have a few forecasts for you in Swiss Frank (6S), Dow Jones (YM), and Crude Oil (CL).

🔹 Swiss Frank (6S) has enough information to make a forecast that the price will go to test the zone 1.1150, where liquidity is concentrated. Despite we see that the price closed above commercial resistance, where hedge funds added their long position by 30% for the third week in a row. OI increased by +6,7%. Also, the trading week closed above technical resistances on the 15M charts. But no energy for further rising, and in such case downside movement is more probable. (Watch)

🔹 As for Dow Jones (YM) (Watch)

Good evening, dear traders! 

Today I want to show you some interesting situations in the commodities market.

▪️ The previous week I spoke about Natural gas (NG) and we really saw a pullback after the HFT volumes. Such a picture was repeated on Friday after 2 days divergence of deltas, and for now, the potential of the uprising movement is even stronger.

We had stop-loss hunting and involvement cocktail which is the fuel for MM, hedge funds shorted 2 weeks in a row. Earlier everybody tried to buy this cheap asset, but the price couldn't go to the upside till this Bid imbalances. (Watch) 





▪️ In Crude oil (CL) the market made several Ask imbalances, and for now, is ready to make a correction to the 80.5 price level. (Watch) 

Good day traders, we still don’t have CFTC report because of the impact of the cyber-related incident at ION is being mitigated.

Multiple reporting firms continue to experience technical issues that prevent submission of timely and accurate data to the CFTC. As a result, the weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders report will continue to be delayed until the receipt and validation of all reportable data is completed.

I already started to miss this data, as it really gives a better market understanding.

Nevertheless, I want to share with you with few engaging scenarios which may realize in the next week.

Natural Gas (NG) has a chance to reach 3$ target per MMBtu (watch)

We see that all the cumulative delta is negative, but the price grows and fixed above 2.5 technical and round number structure.

But to my mind everything is too sweet, that's why I think that the market will activate the liquidity under the level and only then will go to fair value. (watch) 

Such enforcement of QD on Friday is not an empty sound.

​​​​​​​​Hello, traders! Let's look how amazing the second week in raw was with settled priorities and predictions.

🔻 Look at S&P500 (ES)! During 5 days our target was absolutely achieved. The strong imbalance that occurred after the breakdown of the 3850 support level was greatly respected. For now, we observe new ask imbalances, which moved the price higher. I want you to measure the divergence of CD and CDQ on May 17. The quantitative delta +6,5K of market buys but at the same time the volume of CD was -13K shorts. It is often called advance purchases, which work like a magnet for future recovery and the price can go even higher. The second chance to enter longs was after returning to 3900 and stopping HFT volumes and hedging in Put options. The only way to enter with a high risk-reward ratio is to accept the local fear. 

🔻 Our next target was 1.07 in Euro (6E) and it was violated no worse than the previous one1.06. And as I told you in my previous video, the levels on which we see huge block trades are very important for the price. And 1.075 was really respected this week. Also now we are in the zone of the least options payouts and the price came here and I think till July 3 it will stay near this zone. 

All this movement before was thanks to funds, which accumulated 36K contracts long position, and we — swing traders can use this market inefficiencies to make our profit.

🔻 Only Oil (CL) gives us an opportunity according to the scenario which we predicted before. After the move to the upside we have a very very strong

Let's overview and discuss potential scenarios for the futures market.
The previous week was very powerful for predictions, especially on gold, silver, and Mexican peso. Let's see and try to find what to do next.

Сейчас сложно будет ставить вероятностные сценарии, волатильность зашкаливает

Лучше ориентироваться на ленту принтов и дисбалансы в моменте для краткосрочных сделок. Риски нужно уменьшить как минимум в 2 раза, стопы увеличить на ту же величину. Но тем ни менее глобальный взгляд также стоит иметь. Известный валютный трейдер Брент Доннелли пишет: “Хорошие трейдеры всегда имеют план. Они не всегда придерживаются его, но он у них есть.” Потому будем продолжать смотреть на факты и делать гипотезы.

По СП500 ( ES) очень интересно, что фонды до событий вышли в экстремальный лонг, нарастив покупки на 25%.  На самом минимуме был большой объем закрытых позиций по путам, и добавление колл опционов на страйке 4400, в преддверии внушительного отскока. Крупные игроки, как это часто бывает, совершают сделки в выгодных местах.
