i am long on SP500 at 3055.20 with target around 3077 , 1to1 correction of the last down move.
waiting with breakeven until Tokyo open. As i wrote in other thread , there were big volumes (around 1.4 billion $ buy) at the end of US session so i think this player (s) is serious with his positions. it won't go straight up but as i wrote earlier i am ready for breakeven ...

tokyo opened, trade protected on BE

closed this long +8 points too many bad news overnight.. Honk Kong, US Covid19 cases rise, i don;t feel this high prices for holding buy trade during London .. will see later if this player from the end of US session will hold around 3045-3051 ..

Bonds in big supply levels, DXY strong , VIX on potential support.. overall no trade for now.

I look at SP 500 for potential long not lower than 3040 .

I am long on SP500 (3050) with wider stop loss until the 3040 holds , now price sitting on previous week's open, Let;s see what next. there is also a descending trendline which has been broken but this is not so important in this trade. i rather look today on instruments connected with US stock markets, overall sentiment.

ok closed manually +24 points , for now no trades . update about whole market situaltion: DXY (dollar index) is giving up some gains, VIX on the lows , US 10y Bonds are also weaker. All of these would suggest SP500 higher for a day and Nasdaq 100 too. Later Powell from FED will be speaking. for now i wait.

After Powell speech i took one short on SP500 which cleared my earlier profits on SP500 right before the US close . it was veery fast stop loss.. but managed to be net on plus because i hedged earlier on Nasdaq Long so overall it is not big plus day as planned before..
Now 1 overnight trade is short GBPUSD from 1.2389 stop loss 1.2428 TP around 1.2340.

then i plan to buy there. but we'll see how it will develop.

stopped out on BE. (GBP)
Current new postions short Gold at 1787.5 SL - 1791 TP - open.
recent situation on many markets is unclear as for first day of month and quarter. I see weakness on bonds, stength on JPY , DXY is little below weekly open,VIX on the lows. will see later how this all unwind.

Gold exited manually. too in long sitting in this top . maybe i will try higher
1 small long on GBP from 1.2386 - 90. is my recent trade.

can;t see the edge on this type of market until there will be clear direction on something. EURUSD and DXY (which is in 70% eur) is very weak , USDJPY too on the lows.. SP500 higher.

for the rest of the week i won;t trade but i will update some intermarket analysis.

i watch all markets without trades (except one...) for now. Bonds weaker, SP500 gapped up and continue to climb, vix gapped up too (which is quite unusual ) but closing the gap slowly. Later i will update some screens and maybe trades.

Ok one trade which is outside of my trading instruments list is long on BTCUSDT at 9031 ( stop at 8902) but it is very small position which i plan to hold little longer. I analyzed BTC over the weekend took some shorts from 9100 and closed today after the price almost hit 8900. Next i took this long because sellers cannot push price lower and they showed some weakness in this selling.. will see later.

first long position i took today on SP500 at 3174 because all indicators (markets) point to higher indexes prices.

First bonds (10y US) reacted in big supply level with today's weakness, second VIX is trading lower with potential of break/test 26.82 and third which is very important US Dollar index's weakness is giving stocks additional fuel too. DXY could break 96.3.

So on SP500 i plan to add to position after US market open today .
