E-mini S&P 500: What the Decline in Volatility Means
The daily E-mini S&P 500 chart shows that the ATR indicator (14) is in the 2023 lows, dropping below the value of 40.
What can low values of the ATR indicator mean, indicating a decrease in volatility?
1→ Remember the proverb “Sell in May and Go Away”, implying that the stock market is usually inactive starting from May. Are traders already on vacation after the main part of the reporting season? It is unlikely that the solution to the problem with the US public debt lies ahead. Already today, Tuesday, President Biden held talks with representatives of Congress on this matter.
2→ An important trend is brewing in the E-mini S&P 500 futures market. Notice the low ATR values at the end of 2021, followed by a massive decline. The market periodically changes its state: from flat (when reversal strategies work) → to trend (when breakout strategies work) → and so on ad infinitum.
Decreasing volatility forms a narrowing triangle (shown in blue lines). Its breakdown may lead to a trend that will change the price of the E-mini S&P 500 futures to a value approximately equal to the height of this triangle. Let's say in the event of a bullish breakout, the E-mini S&P 500 could rise to 4,550.
