“Trading Psychology is BS!” The Undeniable Importance of Trading Psychology

Premarket Insight

The day following a ton of up-down volatility from indecision yesterday, as we can see from the doji candlestick on the daily chart, today’s futures session starts off slightly bearish for the Nasdaq. Headlines give selloff credit to lower Treasuries on higher yields for selloff in the overall markets. However, with the measuring being Nasdaq, Dow and S&P 500 Futures, as of 07:55 EST the selloff is moderate at best and all aforementioned indices have strong support with big picture trend still bullish to neutral.

 

Taking a look at the watchlist (NQ, CL, GC, 6E), other than the already mentioned bearish NQ, GC and 6E starting to open up bullish while CL continues to trade sideways in a tight 40 tick range. We get a break on the economic calendar today with nothing significant scheduled.

 

Volume check at 07:30 showing moderate strength in the premarket. Just another day, nothing special to see here. So far, 6EZ18 the only futures contract on my watchlist that’s above the 100K volume mark.

 

UPDATE: At of 08:00 EST CL broke intraday support with the potential to start a bearish trend.
