OVERNIGHT MARKET SNAPSHOT FOR WEDNESDAY 24/08/22
Asian market Indexes were higher but the Hang Seng stole the show. Beijing announced a fresh round of economic stimulus late in the session that sent markets rocketing higher although the European markets could not hold the gains once the excitement dissipated and they realised that it did not affect them much. The Hang Seng index ended up 3.63% as Housing market and Bank debt issues were brushed aside for now. Gold broke out above resistance and pushed higher while the USD moved lower. Oil is holding highs which will continue to pressure global markets and the inflation narrative. Data to watch – US Prelim GDP and Unemployment Claims at 10:30pm and Day 1 Jackson Hole Symposium.
Major markets, apart from the Hang Seng, rejected the rally so the US open will be interesting as many sellers have been squeezed back out of the action already. Waiting for the dust to settle on the open prior to entries.

The DOW flushed higher on the back of the Beijing stimulus news but it was just an opportunity to squeeze out some sellers. Price has since moved back down below 33047 so watching for continuation lower. The US Tech 100 did much the same as the DOW with a pump and dump back down around where it started. Price is hovering on 12985 support so watching the level to see if it can hold or if price continues back down into lows. The DAX also ramped higher to squeeze out some sellers before falling back over below where it started. Expecting to see further weakness but want to see price rejected pops into 13301 first and hold a lower high. The UK100 had a big move up above 7497 and just as quickly fell back below the level. Will be watching to see if price holds below the level for a push down into the lows.
Cryptos are still correcting higher off support levels with Bitcoin holding a higher low at 21350 but still struggling to push clearly into new highs above 21675. Ethereum has pushed up above 1688 but stalled below 1725 with momentum rolling lower. Watching both for a potential squeeze lower but for now they are being supported by USD weakness.
Spot Gold got a kick higher from a weak USD and pushed up above the 1754 resistance level. Price has given back some of the gains but bulls will be watching for a higher low to hold up off 1754.
