Next week’s predicted market ranges from Trevor Smith.

Markets have breakout math for next week by both pivot and range calculations.

The euro has the most incredible, exhilarating moving average harmonic cluster I have ever seen at 1.137 on multiple timeframes, although I can’t guarantee this price to print next week or ever. Price would stay there awhile if it did print.

Other important moving average levels include S&P 500 futures at 2900, gold at $1,590 and crude oil at $32.

“Markets Rebound”, which was last week’s tagline predicted some powerful moves in the stock indexes, the euro, Japanese yen and gold. The bullish short put spread trade idea in crude oil would have been profitable had traders taken my guidance to wait for a Monday pullback entry. Nine of 10 projected weekly ranges printed.

E-mini S&P 500
High Range 2900-2800; Low range 2495-2400
