Quick Market Views
Stocks: Not a great jobs report, but the market is ignoring it. The potential China reopening news is gaining more steam. New DeMark Sequential and Combo buy Countdown 13’s on QQQ, NDX. Sentiment is oversold at 10%. I am holding my nose and adding some long trades.
Bonds: Rates were higher and are trying to turn and stay lower.
Commodities: Strong across the board on the China news. Copper is ripping 7%. COPX up nearly 10%.
Currencies: US dollar is down with a risk off type of day. I have several currencies below to look at.
Trade Ideas Sheet: I am covering COIN since the earnings were terrible but this was bought and I will lock in the 12% gain. I will be looking to add it back. I am also covering SPY and ORCL with moderate losses. I will add some long positioning all with 2.5% sized positions: QQQ, SPY, BABA, GOOGL, AMZN, KWEB, MSFT, and STX.
