E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index (NQ) Futures Technical Analysis – Confirmation of Weekly Reversal Top Could Drive Index Sharply Lower
Based on last week’s close at 7360.00, the direction of the September E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index this week is likely to be determined by trader reaction to an uptrending Gann angle at 7363.00. The main trend is up according to the weekly swing chart. However, the closing price reversal top may be a sign that momentum is getting ready to shift to the downside. A trade through 7292.50 will confirm the chart pattern and shift momentum to the downside.

Treasury Yields Rise as Investors Show Appreciation for Consistency of Fed Chair Powell’s Hawkish Message
The consistency in Powell’s message on Wednesday was the highlight of his testimony. U.S. Treasury yields rose on Wednesday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony. His hawkish message strongly supported the idea that the Fed will raise interest rates at least two more times in 2018. It was a bad day for the U.S. housing sector. U.S. homebuilding fell to a nine-month low in June and permits declined for a third straight month. The Fed’s Beige Book showed that manufacturers in every one of the Federal Reserve’s 12 districts worried about the impact of tariffs, even as the U.S. economy continued to expand at a moderate to modest pace.

Rising Two-Year Treasury Yields Indicate No Worries Over Trade Disputes
Look at the price action in the Treasury markets for the true assessment of the economy rather than to try to make a financial decision based on politics or what Trump said or did like others. Frankly, I don’t know how anyone can make a trading decision based on the emotions of the President. Some analysts continue to try to make everything the President says or does a trading issue, but I’ve never seen it baked into a trading system.

In conclusion, after reading Powell’s recent interviews and recent monetary policy statements, I am going to assume that he is going to say the economy is great, the Fed’s going to raise rates at least two more times this year and that the economy is essentially protected against the long-term impact of a trade war.

Investors Will Absorb Latest Tariff News, but Chinese Retaliation on U.S. Crude Will Be Game Changer
We’re going to stick with our outlook for higher stock prices because earnings carry more weight at this time than does the trade dispute. I don’t think we’re going to see any significant sell-off in the stock market until the impact of the tariffs starts to show up in the economic numbers, and even after that, in the projections by U.S. Federal Reserve Policymakers. Of course, if China places a tariff on U.S. crude oil imports then it will be a whole new ballgame and time to reassess my bullish outlook.

E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index (NQ) Futures Technical Analysis – July 11, 2018 Forecast
Based on the early price action, the direction of the September E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index today is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the steep uptrending Gann angle at 7212.00. This angle held earlier as support. Basically, we’re looking for an upside bias to develop on a sustained move over 7254.50 and for a downside bias to develop on a sustained move under 7212.00. Holding between these two numbers will indicate investor indecision.
