It was a slow morning with all markets staying within overnight ranges. The tight range in Gold (MGC) was a bit unexpected, especially since the Sunday open saw a nearly 5% decline.  BTC and ETH each up around 7%, CL lower by 3%, and the NQ the leader of the stock indices.

Trading Week Ahead | June Boom or Gloom?

June 1, 2021 in Watch We're Watching

We’re looking at another sleepy start to the week, though more of the to-be-expected variety given the holiday. Stock indices are sharply unchanged from the modest drift lower Monday.  Crypto remains range bound, not signaling anything for risk appetites leading into one of the seasonally worst performing months for stocks. 

On tap this shortened trading week, we’ve got an OPEC meeting Tuesday, Beige Book Wednesday, FOMC on Friday, and Powell speaking at a conference Friday as well. 

Aside from the norm, I’ll be more focused in the ProTrading Room (PTR) on a few prop programs (TopStep & UProfit) in preparation for the relaunch of my Virtual Prop Trader (VPT Live) mini-course.   

And if you missed it on Telegram, Discord, or YouTube, there may be time left to grab one of the crazy good deals at Earn2Trade or UProfit, offering 40% and 50% off monthly subscriptions respectively.  Also, trade journal Tradersync has a 50% off sale running through tonight too.  Everything expires today, Monday May 31st so hurry!
