Thanks, saw that earlier: first two weeks of March.

Curiously, the Citi economist says the unemployment rate might peak at 8.4%

I get the feeling that the 8.4% ballpark is what the market is currently pricing in, I think any signs it will be going higher than that could elicit quite a painful reaction.
 
So I guess the Govt might set a date for unwinding restrictions somewhere near the next report to offset such a reaction?
 
There's a squeeze on, no doubt. If you go searching for it, there's any amount of opinion for a V-shaped recovery, as occurred post SARS in 2003.

So just what is the "smart money" up to? They're doing a good job of keeping ordinary punters on the sideline. But somebody is buying, the market indices show it, the XAO up 2.5% this morning.

Messy 15 min chart



Seems that last night there was some news out of the US about Gileads drug remdesivir is "working", plus random words from Trump == big pump. New highs for this retracement.
 
ok, ok, I know this chart is starting to develop a lot of lines but nonetheless. Extending the line from the breakdown pattern I posted in post #3248, looks like it was still in play. I made it thick/red to stand out from the other lines.

Additionally, the post 4PM close has ended as a rejection of the trend line, again.

We continue the pattern of going up on the wrong side of the trend lines.

 
Forgot to do the weekly check-in on the weekends, do a quickie now before the market opens:

Monthly chart not a lot to report, aside from per last weekend update, the last completed monthly ATR was 494 points, the range for this month is now exceeding that at 550 points.

Weekly, last week was another up week, but on much lower range. We still closed the week above the December 2018 lows. Bulls couldn't muster the strength to test the weekly close from the 2nd week of March and as you can see we ended not far from where we started.



Daily, still making higher highs on five bar swing pattern, no higher low last week. That downward continuation pattern seems to becoming more pronounced and less like a bullish consolidation.



4 hourly, as you can see no meaningful move in intraday action for last week, just chopping around the 0.382.
 
Well, I had been watching this trendline that I posted last night since early April, wondering if it was a silly line that was too wide off two swing lows that were too close together.

Updated hourly with that line re-formatted to highlight in red/thick:



was pretty much exactly where the market bounced in the overnight session.

Looks like the market is still deciding whether April will be an up month, going to be an interesting session today.
 
Boring.

I thought today was going to be fun.

Hourly chart, you can see we broke down a bit from where we were this morning...


Maybe the overnight session will make up for it.
 
beautiful rotation in the front month cfd for Sp200 (XJO)

a few false positives in the indicators ...yaget that !
