Key Events/h2
US contracts on the Dow, S&P, NASDAQ and Russell 2000 and stocks in Europe rallied on Thursday following positive political news out of the US yesterday. A deal to avert a US government shutdown in October had been hammered out; as well, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated his repeated his support for Bitcoin futures ETFs. However, from a technical perspective, this could be a dream short.
The cryptocurrency is testing both a bearish pennant and the neckline of a H&S bottom. From aggressive traders’ point of view this provides an ideal short entry from a risk-reward perspective.
Oil came back from a second daily decline, heading for a monthly advance thanks to tighter supplies. Yet, even with higher prices WTI, US shale producers aren't stepping up production.
Technically, crude must still contend with the likely resistance of the July 6 peak.
