Dow reverses from 52,317, long closed at -0.67R before CPI
The Dow opened with a gap to 52,317, 83 points short of our 52,400 target, then sold off to 51,659. Price fell below the 51,719 level that defined the breakout, so we closed the long at 51,686 (-0.67R) without waiting for the stop at 51,599: the idea had to be flat before tomorrow's US CPI (12:30 UTC) anyway. Equity now 987.1 on 1,000.
No new idea. The CPI print falls inside any multi-day horizon, so only ideas closed by tonight's 20:00 UTC cash close were possible, and at this hour the arithmetic is tight: target within 0.72 ATR, so stop within 0.48 ATR. Tesla came closest: the higher low at 375.02 gives a stop of 0.34 ATR, just below the 0.35 minimum; the next level pushes the target above the 382.35-382.70 resistance. The S&P 500 (1.42 ATR above its 20-day mean) needed a 0.80 ATR target, Nasdaq-100 a 0.73 ATR stop. MSFT, V, WMT, KO, XOM and CAT are more than 1.5 ATR from the mean; NVDA, LLY, HD and the Dow are inside the noise band; JPM reported today. VIX 15.5. This is the fourth review in a row without an idea.
