29 JUN
and the sleepers were :
US index futures
and as usual, bonds and currencies
Are you saying that the summer doldrum effect is more pronounced in US indices than other time zones?
ES have been much slower the last few days in the US session. NQ still seems to move decently.
NQ day range could be rather healthy.
However, its movement could be rather choppy.
NQ range today was ~80 points (320 ticks)
ES range today was 20 points. (80 ticks).
Cry me a river? Hello?
look at the recent day range :
NQ 80 points (0.5%) <<<< very low
Es 20 points (0.5%) <<<< very low
dax 260 points (1.6%) <<<< very high
cac40 104 points (1.6%) <<<<< very high
Taiwan index 24 points (1.5%) <<<< very high
actually during yesterday US session,
the commodities (copper, NG ....) were moving,
but the US index futures were sleeping.
