Later this morning, we will get job gains revisions, a highly touted release expected to help support the Fed’s rate cut path. Additionally, at 1:00 pm CT, the Minutes from the July 31st Fed meeting will be released, and traders want to keep an ear to the ground for Fed speak out of Jackson Hole. According to the CME’s FedWatch Tool, four rate cuts this year are currently priced in with a 69.4% probability. Lastly, earnings from TJX and TGT topped expectations. The stocks are +5% and 13%, respectively ahead of the bell. After the close, we anticipate earnings from SNPS, a leader in electronic design automation for semiconductors.

Intraday yesterday, the E-mini NQ pinged the July 23rd gap precisely with a high of 19,925, our rare major four-star resistance.

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Seasonal tendencies are a composite of some of the most consistent commodity futures seasonals that have occurred in the past several years. There are usually underlying, fundamental circumstances that occur annually that tend to cause the futures markets to react in similar directional manner during a certain calendar year even if a seasonal tendency occurs in the futures, it may not result in a profitable transaction as fees and the timing of the entry and liquidation may impact on the results. No representation is being made that any account has in the past, or will in the futures, achieve profits using these recommendations. No representation is being made that price patterns will recur in the future.
