About to get smacked with a big DXY rejection and bearish divergence - should hopefully send BTC flying
Key resistance at 109.33 overbought with a bearish divergence is really going to struggle to break. Losing 106.797 can really send this plummeting to 105 region and even 100, but that might be some weeks/months in the making.

Personally I think Red path wins here.Opinion:
- Biden inflation pivot ahead of mid-terms
BIDEN: WE ARE SEEING PROGRESS ON GASOLINE PRICE REDUCTIONS AND INFLATION.
- FOMC minutes announcing 50bps or lower futures hikes to
"Gauge the effect of previous hikes"
- Mid-terms nearing and political funding needs
- E.U cost of living crisis/ German PPI @ 37% / Continued conflict in Ukraine & commodities crisis
GERMAN PPI YOY ACTUAL 37.2% (FORECAST 31.8%, PREVIOUS 32.7%) $MACRO
With these factors in mind and an acknowledgement that we do need more QT and hikes; all the while, taking into account that any further tightening will place us on a 3rd quarter of negative GDP growth. It is my opinion that instead the political needs will be more important. This makes me think that the E.U in the name of self-preservation will subsidize house-holds, while increasing barriers to debt over winter. ("Controlled" inflationary action). U.S should as announced by the FOMC minutes go through a period of hike stabilization (Re-instating stability in the procurement of structured leverage / Inflation action)
From here I see 2 option:
1. Politics forcing us into hyper-inflation and bitcoin aswell as other assets experience a fast recovery.
2. Politics forcing us into hyper-inflation and bitcoin aswell as other assets experience a short lived fast recovery. (A.K.A tightening and QT break). Lasting possibly until the end of the mid-terms.
What I do not think is possible:
A return to BTC sub 9k when inflation is running high.
What to keep in mind:
Inflation comes second to job market.
Recession/Depression is a much worse evil than inflation.
Notes on how I personally use my charts/NFA:
Each level L1-L3 (S1-S3) and TP1-TP3 has a deployment percentage. The idea is to flag these levels so I can buy 11% at L1 , 28% at L2 and if L3 deploy 61% of assigned dry powder. The same in reverse goes for TP. TP1: 61%, TP2:28% and TP3:11%. If chart pivots between TP's and L's these percentages are still respected. I like to use the trading range to accumulate by using this tactic.
Just my personal way of using this. This is not intended or made to constitute any financial advice.
This is not intended or made to constitute any financial advice.
FED Macro Situation Consideration:
All TP's are drawn within the context of a return to FED neutral policy. I do not expect these levels to be reached before tightening is over.

Market Makers Dump APPLE 8/19The current price on Apple is 174 at the close.
Market makers have been using apple as a way to pump the market before the greatest crash since 2008. Based on volume and open interest of 145c and 175c calls, market makers have created thousand of spreads.
VRVP indicates a midline of 150 so a 145c call would be minimally influenced by theta burn from a quick drop in the market. So what did the market makers do, they purchase 145c calls as "equity" to their spread, PUMPING the price up over time, weeks and weeks at a time, and now selling 175c calls into the market, directly to blind retail traders. What's going to happen if they all sell their 145c calls, that's HUGE equity being liquidated, support levels disappearing and a correction will be necessary to fill the gap.
With calls being at 175, and Apple closing at 174 while testing 175, they maximize their profit on 175c calls because these positions on at the flipping point between being in the money and out of the money, gaining the extrinsic value of momentum for a potential leap above 175, on top of the intrinsic value of being above the breakeven price level.
I expect a HUGE short in pre or today's aftermarket. Because 175c calls will be destroyed, DESTROYED, if apple opens at 173 or less. and what will happen, these 100,000 calls sold into the market are going to realize how saturated they are and when one starts selling next thing you know the calls are worthless and this will cause mass selling.
I truly believe D Day is tomorrow, with these options expiring, market makers will literally just EXERCISE their 145c options and sell them all into the market, in American markets you can exercise calls at any time, especially in pre-market.
Truly fascinating that market makers are allowed to make this, but I guess it's how the cycle sustains itself, destroying the middle and lower class that invest their savings because then they need to work forever as slaves for the people at the top, truly fascinating.

Just taking a slightly more macro look at the whole BTC status and we have a short term bearish rising wedge which we all know about although the longer term falling wedge is starting to come to a close. If we breakout of this falling wedge then we could be on for a massive push up - although break down on this rising wedge could bring alot of pain the next week is going to be very telling about a possible longer term expectation for #BTC

Oil markets and demand destruction.The Russia & Ukraine kerfuffle is opening a gap in supply and demand since February 24th with their invasion. G7 countries will have a common interest in bringing the conflict to a close as the effects begin to weigh on the economy more generally. Emerging markets can take advantage of the situation and build out their consumption infrastructure with cover of high prices.
There is a 3.5-4.5 million barrel deficit in supply caused by the Ukraine war. Currently, this deficit is filled by SPR releases from the strategic stockpiles.
Crack spreads are widening as demand changes for refined products. There is an 8-9% rise every year in energy consumption world wide due mostly to emerging markets.
Market price signals at work. Supply is down rapidly so prices go up followed by demand going away due to high prices and demand destruction occurs either temporarily or long term. Due to sanctions, this particular demand destruction is probably more long-term.
Simply put oil gets expensive so people drive less.
Miles driven has been dropping for a long time with the rise of SUVs and dropped off a cliff with the pandemic before then recovering. There has been an 8% drop in gas sales in California due to electric cars. General demand destruction is starting to sink in but hasn't gotten a hold yet. Electric cars spreading creates permanent demand destruction thus long-term shorts on oil and gas based energy are good for both the investor and the planet.
That being said recent shorts haven't been a good play as the price of oil likely remains elevated or flat through this recession due to the current geopolitical factors at play combined with the inflation narrative. If inflation comes down but remains elevated and supply picks up prices will neutralize and cancel out the forces before turning around completely like lumber.
Emerging markets are still the greatest marginal consumer of oil and petroleum products. Such markets demand more energy every year for their growning and modernizing economies. China is currently seeing their transition away due to their malaca problem and has given themselves until 2030 to peak emissions with net-Zero in 2060. India is on the rise and needs to balance energy needs with geopolitical concerns such as an anti-China coalition with the west because something something the specter of communism. What else is new? Africa has just begun their transition to high energy needs along with South Amercia.
Fundamental Bearish narratives emerging out of China are weighing on the market but having little effect quite yet. Flight numbers are way down for instance and the real estate kerfuffle continues. However the models were built to predict capitalism so they may not apply perfectly here. India continues to buy Russian crude due to need and that's got the west in a tizzy due to the aforementioned ghost of Christmas past. At least its oil and not their massive coal reserves.
Oil might be the key to getting the FED to turn around due to the feedback loop between politicians and the reserve. The market seems to sense this relationship.
Any bull thesis will rely on government incompetence on energy narratives. The squabble between political interests will only continue until we can quantify the externalities at play. Let's not rearange the deck chairs on the titanic and focus on the problem.
The oil energy industry has lost money on long term investments for year's and finally made some due to the current unique political situation and the pandemic. Politicians need political support from environmentalists so they reasonably take profits from and industry causing externalities for the rest of us. Except for in the good old USA, as we like to ride our nukes into the ground like a bucking bronco thank you very much. Energy corporate profit haircuts accelerate the long term demand destruction which in this authors opinion is a good thing. short term we have elevated prices that will peak and drop as the recession narrative sinks in reinforcing the demand destruction reminding everyone why relying on gas prices at the pump might be a bad political strategy long term.
Coming out of the recession the destruction might be permanent reductions in consumption in Europe combined with rising consumption in emerging markets canceling each other out.
In short the bearish narrative on the wider market is currently driven by the energy narratives. The market is seeking a way to get the FED to print more free money. Oil prices remaining elevated causing a slow down in the market everyone can blame on a geo political kerfuffle in Ukraine and economic down turn in China, the ghost of christmas future that fits their various energy narratives looks like the current best candidate. Thus elevated crude prices will continue before collapsing with the market as recession becomes the narrative. Ride the short after the turn.
All the best, see you on the moon.
Nice Location for Short EURUSDThe EURUSD chart still looks rather bearish, with the only real bullish angle being that the huge gamma pocket and round number at 1.00 held right at the peak of EUR bearishness. Here is the daily chart, with the 60 and 120-day moving averages.
A close above 1.04 would take out the 60-day moving average and would clear the pivot marked by the thin red line. The thin red lines show that each broken support has held as strong resistance with just one tiny overshoot on the one in early April. Good trends tend to hold resistance at prior support and this has been a good trend.
Selling at the red line and the 60-day with a stop above the 120-day has been a good expression of the trend. A daily close above 1.04 is bullish. 1.0613 is big daddy but that moving average was only tested once (in February 2022) and the 60-day has been way more actionable.
Rate differentials offer nothing bullish in EURUSD, and relative equity performance has been in line with the currency. On the bullish side, BTPs are back to 200bps after twice testing 250bps vs. Germany so you can argue the much-hated TPI (the antifragmentation tool) has worked, to some extent. Then again, BTPs are mostly just a risky asset and they have performed worse than SPX on the massive recovery in risky asset sentiment since mid-June. SPX is making new 3-month highs while BTP spreads are nowhere near the tights printed in May.
To me, this all still points to EUR softness, but as I described in my newsletter yesterday I’ve abandoned the USD side and switched to EURAUD. And if you are bearish USD, that means long AUD, or long carry are the better trades as we enter a two-week period of low vol, out of office emails, early departures, and family tripping.
And the UK you still have plenty to worry about, considering today's Bloomberg piece discussing how Liz Truss may be a threat to the pound and UK bonds.
The chart looks particularly nice, location-wise as you only have to risk 70 pips from here. Short EURUSD here at 1.0346 with a stop loss at 1.0416. Take profit at 1.0166.
good luck ⇅ be nimble

Keep your eye on the birdie... USD DXY The DXY has been showing a lot of Bullish momentum. This could be altered at the 110 resistance level IF price reaches those heights.
There's nothing certain in the markets, the price could range for years...
It could tumble or it could rally... There's nothing that's perefect!
In my analysis and global climate, it seems that the fall of the dollar will coincide with the rise of Crypto... This trade means that I'm bullish on crypto but I haven't been convinced to trade just yet!
The market sentiment is shaky on the dollar because of the climate of inflation.
The general outcome of the trade will affect all other assets.
In this hypothesis, Crypto will go a little lower before it rallies to greater heights. If the dollar keeps going up, the coins will keep going down. The question is, will the future digital currencies be beat by the old and inflated fiat currencies? That's the trade thesis and it's opening a lot of opportunities in unexplored territories!
Let's make money, make money!
Speculating on CNY .. from a "distance"Looking at the CNY and its highest probable and most immediate index levels that we can theorize and speculate (using fundamentals and reason) the currency reaching in the seemingly distant future.
This is one, if not the most fascinating markets and charted data I have ever studied.
As the most powerful and fastest growing economy on earth, market performance in China will play increasingly more influential roles in the global marketplace and its participants. As the post-world war II global economy continues its evolution in the early 21st century, I will certainly be keeping my eye on the Juan.
On this publishing I am showing the theoretical levels on what would be a full retracement to the .618 of the already completed impulse down from the CNY's all-time high of 8.74. In order for this fibonacci retracement to be properly placed at these levels, the CNY would need to continue the monthly bullish uptrend to the golden pocket zone of around 7.7, where it would then need to break the trend or significantly consolidate.
Its not my most traditional, or most immediately useful piece of work, but, hopefully this is interesting to you like it is to me.
Happy trading, and good luck!
GBPUSD. P-Modeling Pt C. The Macro Cajun Cups of Love Welcome Hyperspace Travelers,
This is a continuation time-series analysis of GBP.USD on the 1 Week Timeframe.
Time to make you think outside the box.
It is interesting to note that the forex markets are seeing amazing volatility right now.
The cash currencies and their swaps control all other markets. You can't convince me otherwise.
Weighted re-distributions on 1 weeks timeframes are coming.
With these re-distributions comes new mechanics unfolding in real time. New correlations, new inner-body mechanics. A lot of new stuff this generation has not seen.
If you take a look... I posted November 4th, 2021 Part B of the 1 week macro analysis on GBP.USD and I was convinced it was headed down hard towards a rapid hyper-deflation like in 2008-2009,. ----> <-- Press play.
Now many think we will continue, its very possible. But a new mechanic seen now, was not seen in 2008. The maturation of crypto and the re-weighting of forex currency into crypto stable 1:1 like USDT.. An inverse flow of these funds may potentially be the prime catalyst for a new period of correlation strings. Taking this into consideration and upon new logic, I have deduced that with a rapid capitulation of the entire cryptocurrency market (BTC + ETH + ALL ALTS) . All the crypto market peeps will flood the forex market with re-weighted cash as they seek safe havens and find none except in currency swaps, which will drive them to extreme ranges.
Catalyst: Extreme DXY bull-run.
Catalyst: A flood of cash coming directly from the re-weighting of swaps from cryptocurrency peeps swapping into their perspective home currencies like GBP.XXX to seek a safe haven.
Result: A potential new correlating string against the USD.
Result: The graph provided shows Proposition A having the higher probability against Proposition B. However, I have provided both Propositions and their Trigger Lines.
What if we reverted back to linear X_A_C_X | ??
Now we wait patiently again.
Is structure all inclusive?
Is structure worthy of scrutiny?
I think so..

ULSD / Diesel Fuel LongThis analysis is contingent on data that cannot be cited due to the source's explicit restrictions placed on republishing without expressed written consent.
ULSD is of particular interest in the energy markets for the following reasons:
• It is quoted based on delivery at New York Harbor. This means that it has localized supply / demand factors related to the Eastern United states. Data shows supply is particularly tight at this location.
• Traders are exporting virtually all US oil overseas due to the spread between WTI and Brent
• No tankers set to deliver low sulfur distillates to New York Harbor for over a month.
On top of these factor, there's a clear support zone at the current price. Given that simple technicals are lining up with fundamentals, the trade seems favorable. Major risk factors include OPEC+ meeting, however I speculate that OPEC will not increase supply due to negative data regarding oil consumption.
