Day-Trading Scenarios for Jan 02, 2026

Great start to 2026. Two long trades so far.


Market may need to come down to additional support. First one is daily pivot at 48448, then of course 48315. If we break below 48315 it will turn the daily trend down and we will be shorting rallies heavily.


First resistance is 48580 where we will look for a short.


Traders are noting thin liquidity and bearish signals from labor data, with futures showing choppy behavior in late December (e.g., dips of 0.1%–0.2% on some days and rejections at highs). Some see buyers defending supports like 48,320–48,000, but overall, the tone is cautious.

Day-Trading Scenarios for Aug 6, 2026

We start with a narrow range. This means the market, including the institutions, are confused as to the next move. This tells us to be patient, wait for the break, then get aboard. We are overbought.
