This week's possible needle points (not just one direction):
Wednesday 21:15: December ADP Employment Change
Thursday 03:00: Federal Reserve releases December monetary policy meeting minutes (high volatility)
Friday 21:30: December Non-Farm Payrolls
If you only take a long position in one direction, there won't be concerns about direction; treat everything as a pullback to long and focus only on the entry and exit points. If both long and short positions are being taken simultaneously, be quick to switch from Wednesday to Friday. If there's a big drop on Thursday morning, there will inevitably be a sharp rise on Friday evening.
