These trading ranges are enormous... you have to dial in the hourly chart to get a read on it... This is truly one very FAST MARKET... so you have to adjust your targeting for it...

I haven't collected any of the data myself, but I thought in general that most of Trump's positive tweets in regards to China have been met with selling or not much reaction.

That was was on December 4th, talking about negotiations and a warm dinner with Xi etc. The market just went kind of flat into this next downturn afterward.

Bruce,  I also haven't collected data, but I remember thinking trade news would still be a market mover in the last several weeks like it was earlier in the fall, only to be surprised by the small blip it turned out to be.  I think China is a huge deal that "should" impact the market but at this juncture it has been overshadowed by the Fed, re-balancing and just plain fear.  Maybe it will resume it's "rightful" importance with this announcement, but my betting on it is just 60/40.  twt.

Please remember the last time we had trade news was at the summit (early December), then within 24-hours the state department (read deep state) arrested Meng Wanzhou, a top executive at Chinese tech giant Huawei, while in Canada... they completely undermined the good news on trade!

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see some attempt at something similar again.

lol, exactly! I think we head up in short order to test the underbelly of the breakdown at 2600 ES, it can go back down from there for a bit.
