22 trade ideas for 3 November 2026: 4 long and 18 short. Entry, stop and two targets are given for each, with the reasoning and the level at which the idea is abandoned.
Today's framework
Tuesday 3 November 2026. It is election day in the United States and the list is positioned defensively around it. The Nasdaq is 10.75% below its high, technically in correction territory, and the chip index fell 12% in three days. In crypto, Binance has spent half its emergency fund and customers withdrew a net 4.72 billion dollars.
Four of the ideas are long and eighteen short. Four are taken at the market and two on a pullback; the rest wait for an upward reaction before the sell is taken. The buy side is only energy, Tesla and the DAX.

- 1. BTC — short. At 76,605 dollars with the price making successively lower highs and lower lows; the monthly loss is 9.61% and it touched 76,542 overnight. Staying below 77,000 matters, because the 200-day average lies beneath and the price is only 0.9% away from it. Binance has spent half its emergency fund; the SAFU wallet has fallen from 15,000 bitcoin to 7,500 and customers withdrew a net 4.72 billion dollars. Today is election day, and volatility on the 4 November options has jumped to 43.5%. Action: sell on an upward reaction into the 77,000-77,600 band, target 76,541. Invalidated if: A close above 78,500.
- 2. ETH — short. At 2,247.51 dollars with the price in a falling high-low structure; the monthly loss is 16.36% and the price sits below the 200-day average by 2.2%.

Staying strong with momentum at 62 while the Nasdaq is in correction territory is notable. The monthly gain is 8.97%. Action: buy in the 402-405 band, target 414.23. Invalidated if: A close below 397.
- 4. XOM — long. At 179.67 dollars with the price holding its rising high-low structure; over the past month it is 12.9% ahead of the market and the monthly gain is 9.55%. It fell 4.05% yesterday because Brent gave back more than 7% on Monday; that pullback improved the entry markedly and momentum has come down to 57. Action: buy in the 179.20-180.50 band, target 184.59. Invalidated if: A close below 177.50.
- 5. CVX — long. At 227.77 dollars with the price in a rising high-low structure; over the past month it is 13.7% ahead of the market and the monthly gain is 10.20%.

- 6. DAX — long. At 25,981.09 and up 0.63% yesterday; the price is in a rising structure and momentum is 59. The weekly gain is 2.24% and Europe keeps being spared the selling in the United States. But the US election is today, so the size is small. Action: small buy in the 25,930-26,010 band, target 26,026. Invalidated if: A close below 25,741.

- 8. TSM — short. At 398.63 dollars with the price in a falling high-low structure; over the past month it is 15.4% behind the market and the monthly loss is 15.68%.

- 11. Nasdaq 100 — short. At 27,989.82 and 10.75% below its high, technically in correction territory; it fell 1.39% yesterday and the monthly loss is 9.15%. Momentum at 32 has approached oversold and the price has moved just below the 200-day average. But today is election day and the options market is pricing a short burst of volatility rather than a lasting rise, so the size is small. Action: small sell on an upward reaction into the 28,150-28,450 band, target 27,967. Invalidated if: A close above 28,760.
- 12. Gold — short. At 3,929.10 dollars with the price in a falling high-low structure; the trend is down and it fell 1.02% yesterday.

- 16. Copper — short. At 6.404 dollars with the price in a falling high-low structure; it fell 2.13% yesterday and momentum is 49.
