Crypto winter/bull market isn’t overStop saying we are bullish even bottomed. We are still in a bear market and crypto winter isn’t over yet so don’t get way too far ahead.
As the retracement to 21K completed should expect a big fall and the bears are back from water break, as bitcoin still volatile and the Feds are still going aggressive to fight off the inflation.
Powell gave a hint will go lower but that’s not all, the inflation still over 40 year high.. the next Feds meeting is coming this week for the rate increase decision and the last meeting held in December.
Significant recession is coming in 2023.
The buy is still short term & the sell is still in long term.
Bearish rally target is 16K, 14K, 12K then last will be 10K area but we will never know it will drop even further.
Recession
DAX crosses the 100 day EMA for the third time this yearThe DAX30 has once again crossed the 100 day EMA for the third time this year. After the previous two crosses, the index went ahead to lose an average of 15%.
The index has already reached a trough of 27.55% this year with each drop weakening and bear exhaustion showing up as evident from MACD divergence.
The index has priced in a lot of bad news including the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, high inflation pressuring consumers budgets and ECB rate hikes.
It is highly unlikely that a recession in Europe has been priced in. The BoE acknowledged that the UK entered a recession in Q3. Eurozone PMIs released this week showed that manufacturing is already in recession territory. Pessimism in the sector is still high but supply chain pressures seem to be falling amidst falling orders.
The question on my mind is how deep the recession in Europe will be and how long it will last. I'm currently bearish on European indices as bullish sentiment or lack of bearish price action shows a disconnect from fundamentals.
Looking at volume flow (FDAX futures), it can be seen that short positions have largely reduced from a peak of 125K in September to the current 33K. Long positions have also fallen from 134K in Oct to 92K. This implies that the current bullish price action has no legs.
This can be collaborated with On Balance Volume showing that inflows might have peaked at the August - September highs.
In summary, this is why I'm still bearish and looking to sell the rips:
Recession in Europe not priced in or at least partly priced in.
Inflation is still a sore thorn for Europe with YoY increases crossing the 10% mark.
Volume flows for traders are showing signs for peaking.
Bank of England raised rates by 75 basis pointsEUR/USD 🔽
GBP/USD 🔽
AUD/USD 🔽
USD/CAD 🔼
USD/JPY 🔼
XAU 🔽
WTI 🔽
After the Federal Reserve’s 75 basis point rate hike, the Bank of England has followed suit - though notably less inclined to continue aggressive tightening, being warier of an economic recession. GBP/USD lost over 230 pips to a closing price of 1.1165, while EUR/USD slumped from a high of 0.9943 to 0.9751.
Later tonight, Mitrade anticipated the US Nonfarm Payrolls to increase employment by 200,000 displaying the resilience in the labor market, hence justifying the hawkish stance of the Fed. Recent rate hikes saw USD/CAD climbing to 1.3745, and USD/JPY rising over 30 pips to 148.27.
Due to China’s zero-COVID policy and continued tightening among global central banks, the gold price rebounded from a month-low of $1,617.05 to closed lower at $1,629.65 an ounce. The commodity-sensitive AUD/USD pair declined and stabilized at 0.6287, as WTI oil futures fell to $88.17 a barrel.
S&P 500 RECESSION ANALYSIS!EARLIER, i had posted saying if the us markets goes further down what will be there point. (check the link section)
lets go on further,
recession means what earned everything lost, reached its breakeven point. what profit gained has gone away, with net having no loss and no profit.
FIBONACCI ANALYSIS: Fibonacci describes this statement in a very beautiful manner. if the price is trading at the 0.5 level then it is has reached its recession point.
although do note that 0.5 level is also a deciding level. okay, i will come to this later.
lets talk about this idea that why is the US started recovering.
interest rates had started coming down, and the indices are reacting very positively towards it.
i have explained to Fibonacci that now the recession has been completed according to this indicator.
MOVING AVERAGES(50 AND 100): both the moving averages(50 and 100), are meeting at one point, and they will now repel and move upwards.
RSI: yet it needs to give a breakout, but is definitely showing divergence(the two purple lines), relating to price action
TREND LINES: THE BLUE TREND LINE: yet needs to be breached, and yes this is the move that will make the break of it.
many of the great tech stocks have massively come down, and now they are showing divergence and a good upside move is gonna come.
FINAL WORDS: US markets will have a boom in their upside movement, as many of them kept on selling their positions, and such the interest rates have started coming down and will become normal within 1-2 years, so from now onwards the next year will be a great run for the US markets.
i will come to my point which i earlier which i had left in the middle, in my previous s&p analysis(link below), i had mentioned if s&p goes further down then recession stage, then at what point will it go down, and what will be the levels furtheron.
but since interest rates have started coming down, and mostly all the other economical news has been factored, i say that now there is a great space that us markets can have there bull run, and they will have, because its so clear that markets are tend to go upside, and they are the ones who react at first.
thank you.
Powell's favorite curveA number of news sources reported in the lat 2 days that J Powell's favorite yield curve as a recession indicator is an inverted 3 month and 10 year.
These are now inverted and have only inverted 3 other times according to this data
Before the 2000 crash
Before the Global Financial Crisis
Before Covid lockdowns
Its virtually assured at this point that the US will enter a recession in the near future if we're not in one already.
I have more to say about this and in particular the timing of covid but if you want the tinfoil hat version you'll have to find me on the newsletter...
Good luck out there!
XRP in the short term 2022We are seeing a lot of pressure in conventional markets along with commodity markets with all the inflation and recession numbers involved. With FED moving forward with strong interest rate hikes well into 2023 I can see serious pressure on the XRP price given that there is still no settlement for 2022 or the end of the case until 2023. Fibonacci levels all the way down to $0.3693 and using curves to see the possible path for the XRP price in the short term. If these price points become reality it will become beautiful opportunities for cost averaging and taking advantage of low entry points.
Next Fed Meeting will bring lower prices for EthereumIntra-day price movement (for each previous Fed Meeting) follows a pattern of green-red-red. Next in line is red.
Between-meetings price movement follows a green-red-green-red pattern. Next in line is red.
Also, where did everyone hear from that Fed is going to pivot and so on? Why wouldn't they stick to the plan? Some will be surprised when +75bps shows up tomorrow!

Stop Trading the Fed Funds RateThe fed usually hikes into growth and eases when it realizes the economy is too weak to absorb the impact of the hikes, so historically stocks usually rise as the hiking begins and crashes when the fed takes their foot off the pedal.
This time the fed is late. They hike as the housing market is brought to its knees and the economy is slowing. Equities are down, but this is not due to recession expectations. The bond market has reacted to rate hikes, bond yields rise, the discount rate affects the equity market by eating away at their earnings targets. The higher the yield is, the more your company has to make than that in growth to give incentive to invest in it over just holding fixed income. Rate hikes have many systemic effects like this that increase the cost of credit and directly impact the equity market.
If you're holding risk assets you're better off with the Fed holding the line with the hikes in the short term. In the longer term we are screwed no matter what levers the fed pulls. Monetary magic can not save the economy now.
Easing or slowing the hikes (which isn't my prediction, but a market's hope) would be a signal to another group of market participants that we haven't seen sell anything yet who are trading based off of what easing signals. So far equities have only reacted to changes in the discount rate. They have not started pricing in a recession and current price action is a bet on temporary economic contraction with no hard landing.
Three different recession, three different initial conditions, same market behavior:
The probability of a soft landing is zero percent. The mystery of this market isn't the direction it's how low it's actually going to go. The more funny retail money enters this market, the higher the chance we could see unprecedented drawdowns far worse than anyone so far has expected.
Everyone in retail, their aunt, uncle, grandma, and dog, is trading speculatively based off the fed funds rate. They believe that a change in the pace of hikes or basis point increases will breathe life into the economy. They have not traded a market like this before.
If you think the economy can recover without a crash, park into cash and sit this one out. Stop listening to these talking heads in mainstream media telling you everything will be ok. You are the customer and the product holding up their portfolio as they exit leaving you holding the bag.
SP500 Recession signal P2Following my previous post, we are getting very close to the final drop, which I believe will be much bigger than people anticipate. Here is the chart for the dot com crash and the 2008 financial crisis, each event has began with a small price increase and then a drop. This event then happened twice more on a larger scale, with the final, aggressive pump resulting in a large crash. We are finally starting to see the final recovery phase, with two strong green weekly candles. I first thought that the crash would happen early 2023, but now I think it could be a lot sooner. Or we could see many more green candles forming which will then result in a larger crash.
The Great Reset!!!CAUTION ONLY BIG BRAINS FROM HERE ON OUT!!!
White: US 10 Year Bond Yield
Orange: US Debt to GDP
Blue: US yoy inflation
"Inflation transfers wealth from creditors to borrowers for all sorts of nominal debt, not just government debt." -- Christopher J. Neely, Vice President at St. Louis Fed.
What is the Great Reset? Is it a new 1929 Crash, a new Great Depression? No. The real Great Reset is the controlled writing down of US debt-to-GDP which has reached unsustainable levels and surpassed those at the end of WW2. In fact this chart only shows government debt (orange), in truth when you add corporate and all other forms of private debt, you get a figure currently in excess of 700% of GDP.
People believe inflation is the problem, they don't understand that in most of the world it is a tool for writing down debt. This was also the case in the US after WW2.
How do you write down debt measured against a country's productive output? Well, the easiest way is to increase GDP, but because in reality growth is limited (in some cases almost zero), it's easiest to do this by increasing the nominal value of GDP by ramping up inflation:
Nominal GDP = Real GDP * inflation factor
So by increasing inflation we increase GDP nominally and we decrease our debt with respect to productivity.
So what does this have to do with the chart? Look what happened after WW2, when bond yields bottomed and debt-to-GDP peaked. These two reversed over the next 40 years until 1980, when they reversed again. Look what happened to the long-term inflation in that same 1945 to 1980 period: ignoring the many short-term spikes (known as surprise inflation), the curve slopes exponentially upwards, gently at first until culminating in the inflationary spial of the late 1970s. This same process is beginning again. We will see many short-term inflation spikes in the coming years (surprise inflation) but they will mask an underlying increase in long-term inflation. What does this mean? It means your savings will be wiped out with respect to purchasing power. It means diversify into bitcoin and other dead (non-productivity related) assets over the coming decade and decouple from the fiat.
The same principle applies to Eurozone and other so-called developed countries with excessive debt-to-gdp ratios.
Further reading:
St. Louis Fed blog entry "Inflation and the Real Value of Debt: A Double-edged Sword"
Russell Napier interview "We Will See the Return of Capital Investment on a Massive Scale"
The truth is wealth is being transferred from the creditors, i.e. the citizen, to pay down government debt: as your savings lose purchasing power, the value of debt also vanishes. This is really why we say inflation is a tax!
S&P: With Emphasis on PoorWith everyone calling for another turning point in the S&P, the short trade is becoming less crowded. I prefer SPY 300 puts dated about six months out. Here are some ridiculous arguments I've heard for the recovery.
1. The fed will pivot or pause
A fed pause or pivot indicates that economic conditions are too poor to continue hiking, implying that mass layoffs are already happening. There's nothing bullish about that for growth-chasing equities desperate for earnings. Companies are tightening their balance sheet because they can't generate profit and you're buying them?
2. Inflation is sticky bro
Remember when we are all experts on the used car market? I do, that's why I sold my used car for more than the price I bought it new over five years ago. The common consensus was that the prices would keep going up, well the common consensus was--as usual--dead wrong. Used car prices have been dropping ever since. The manufacturer deliver times have stabilized since and production resumed in spades. Now the price of used cars continues to drop and the experts are nowhere to be found. Where are they hiding?
They're hiding under a new narrative: inflation is sticky bro. I'm supposed to believe that a stimulus can reverse the effects of a mountain of debt and poor worker demographics projected to decrease for the next five years. We aren't in the 1970s anymore, the populace doesn't have the demographics to naturally drive inflation. This is a monetary issue and crushing demand will quickly undo what was done with COVID. With supply chain disruptions no longer an issue, the last man standing is oil. Can oil alone continue to drive inflation as a singular microeconomic phenomenon while the services sector which consumes the highest amount of oil comes to a standstill? I think the answer here is no.
3. The strong dollar will drive foreign money into equities
This is by far the dumbest argument I've heard people parroting, and I would really like to know where it's coming from. The idea here is that the rising dollar will cause foreign currencies to drop and this will cause those market participants to buy the dollar and then buy equities, saving the equity market for some reason. Nobody can seem to explain why these supposed market participants will buy the falling equities instead of just holding the dollar or some form of fixed income. Are these market participants completely obtuse to what happens to equities in the event that nominal growth declines and earnings fall? Do these same market participants not realize that a recession will put an eventual pause on hikes and the dollar will reach a cycle top while equities continue to crash. The whole argument is based on an assumption that dumb money will enter the market before the recession and lacks historical precedence. If you know who originated this idea, I would like to hear from you.
In conclusion, there is no reasonable argument convincing enough to call a bottom for equities aside from contrarian aspirations of "stonks only go up". In which case you're in for a big surprise and only depositing your money into Jerome's money shredder. The equity bull sees SPX at 3000, the bear sees 2000, the pig buys here now calling a bottom. There's no bottom in sight here folks, and that's all.
NIFTY 50, WAVES AND MOVEMENT!!FIRST, nifty used to give about 12-14%, but after the corona's bull run, nifty will give about 15-16% returns. (i have drawn the major black trend line to support my point).
2. i have drawn the corrected consolidating part for the nifty, after its corona's bull run(5 waves).
3. have a good look at MA 100(blue colour), it has touched it on 20th June and did not broke it.
ADDING ON, since the consolidated waves have been completed, after it touched the MA 100, it gave a bull run and went to the top of major nifty 50's trend line. this proves that INDIA is not in a recession.
4. look at the red trend i have drawn, nifty has broken it already two times, and this week it almost broke it the 3rd time, so breaking the LOWER HIGHS, concluding again that INDIA is not in a recession.
5. i have just drawn an extended part of MA100, for view, have a look about the US MAKRETS RECESSION AND INDIA NOT IN A RECESSION, AND EVEN BASED ON THE TREND LINE.
6, what does the arcs tell me:
US is mostly gonna have a recession, if they are having a cough, all will catch a cold. US MARKETS, could fall about 10%, and most likely INDIAN MARKETS will fall around 5-7%. but yes, after that there would be a new beginning, and i have drawn a path of it ina orange colour.
ARCS tell that there would be a H&S PATTERN occurring, defining that US too would have a crash around that time(around 25th oct- 14th nov).
the fresh start will begin from (around 14th- 12th dec).
one more possibility of this could be, that nifty could once again touch the MA100 at the time of US having correction, and then a fresh starts begin.
i conclude my analysis by saying, I BET ON INDIA TO BE BULLISH!!
SEE YOU IN MY NEXT ANALYSIS!!

No recessionJNK/TLT explodes. In my opinion this only can be if no recession is seen in the near future.
It could also mean: TLT falls extremly fast because FED and Japan/China sell US T-Bonds at the same time in amounts which the market cannot handle at all.
The cracks in the system became obvious...
DXY has left the LAUNCHPAD... destination 160+DXY has left the LAUNCHPAD and is unlikely to return home until its surpassed 160!
From the chart we can see that DXY has...
- Emerged from the falling wedge with a measured move target of +72, taking us upto 160 OR BEYOND
- Has retested the falling wedge trend line and created a double bottom support
- DXY has performed these feats before (1980-1985) and is showing a similar emerging shape in the chart pattern and RSI
- If history repeats, we can expect this trend to continue through to Approx. 2025
Once these trends establish themselves its highly UNLIKELY that they do not go on to fulfil their potential. TIME IS RUNNING OUT for the DXY to get off this trajectory.
CONCLUSION: Long the DXY, Hold your DOLLARS
GOLD is a BIGGER BUBBLE than the S&P500?? Look away gold bugsThis chart shows GOLD and S&P500 on the same % change axis since 1965.
Based on this timescale, GOLD has had a GREATER % rise in price than the S&P 500.
But hang on, isn't GOLD price supressed and is the only asset class NOT in the EVERYTHING BUBBLE?
FALSE NARRATIVE!! Zoom out to this longer time scale and see that GOLD has also ascended into NOSE BLEED BUBBLE TERRITORY, its just timed its climbs different to equities. +++ It gets worse.... GOLD has painted a HUMUNGOUS double top which is now bearing down a top of the gold chart.
CONCLUSION: Gold is every much as part of the everything bubble as STOCKS and REAL ESTATE. GOLD will not be a safe haven and will fall in a similar way to stonks (MASSIVELY) in the coming depression
Gold is going to CRASH!! +++ Bitcoin chart proves itThis side by side comparison shows the similarity in the evolution of GOLD and BTC price.
Over a longer time span gold is painting EXACTLY the same DOUBLE TOP after parabolic rise as Bitcoin has done.
Gold price is up +4,600% since 1966. Compare this to the S&P500 which is up +4,300% over the same time span. Gold price has NOT been supressed, this is a false narrative.
The conclusion: GOLD is every much as part of the everything bubble as Stocks and Real Estate. Expect the coming depression to burst the bubble and for Gold to continue its rhyme of the Bitcoin rise and fall
Silver & Gold. Long? Short?Remain neutral/bearish on gold & silver until the US10Y, DXY, & Fed Funds Rates tops.
This is the first time since the de-pegging of USD/Gold (in 1975) that interest rates & the USD have been rising.
This creates an extremely tough environment for gold & silver to significantly rally being under pressure from high dollar & rising interest rates.
Despite strong headwinds, there are many tailwinds as well that will lead many commodities prices higher such as, the clean transition, & the dollar (usd) devaluing.
Chart:
FED FUNDS Rate = Blue Line
DBA - Invesco Agriculture Fund Commodities are currently repricing lower due to the looming global slowdown. Meaning, there is more potential downside for commodities
However,
There are more significant tailwinds that will push commodity prices higher in the longer term.
DBA ETF broke out of yearly downtrend in 2020 indicating that higher food prices are in the global outlook for the upcoming years.
A pullback is probably overdue but after prices stabilize, we can see the DBA ETF push significantly higher. The first stop is fair value (red line).
