Market expecting easing from G20, FOMC or ECB


There is a high expectation that tomorrow G20 will announce some kind of liquidity program and if it doesn't happen, then there could some sell off followed by recovery. Then the expectation  will move to Wednesday FOMC meeting outcome. As you know operation twist is getting over at the end of June, so if fed doesn't announce any thing market could be sell off and then expectation would move to Euro zone meeting at the end of June for easing. Again if nothing comes out of meeting, expectation will switch to company earning. So, the trend of sell off and recovery likely to continue till the end of next month. 

Majority of the investor were hoping for sell off or rise in volatility during Greece election but it didn't happened. Infact volatility sold off and stock rallied. If you remember FB IPO was overhyped and stock kept selling off. JPM was expected sell off on Dimon testimony but it rallied. The lesson to be learned from this situation is," Think the opposite of what majority thinks to make money in this casino market."  Anyways in Casino you can never make money.

Trading Strategies For June 19th:
Based on the chart tomorrow, market should open low but since ECB is conducting fine tuning operation, I expect market to open higher.
For Bullish sentiment to continue: Dow needs to break 12781 while S&P500 needs to break 1349. 
For Bearish sentiment to continue:  Dow needs to break 12659 while S&P500 needs to break 1341

In the chart below Red circle represent Bearish sentiment, Blue Circle represent Bullish sentiment.
Dow is expected to open higher because of ECB fine tuning operation.

Chart is bearish for tomorrow, but S&P500 is expected to open higher because of ECB fine tuning operation.

In line with the Bank of England’s forecast, inflationary pressures in the U.K. have been subsiding in recent months and this trend is expected to continue with the consumer price index staying flat at 3.0% y/y in May, same as the 3.0% y/y reading in April. Lower inflation would not be an obstacle to additional easing by the Bank of England.
