Despite recent fines and underperformanceDespite recent fines and underperformance Citi maybe be forming a potential bottom. Bank shares seem to be on the rise so there can be sector tailwinds for the name. Director Jay Jacobs has made the largest public stock purchase in over 5 years. Although the narrative on financials seems to be more positive we will let the model signal when to buy.

FAKEOUT: XAUUSD GOLD SUPPLY ZONE UPDATE 1925.00 CRITICAL LEVELSo now we can see what has happened and what went wrong on our trade yesterday. We can see how price pushed up through the zone to gather more liquidity. The price faked out through our zone, trapped the buyers and reversed. Nothing to worry about - only a 1% loss. IF he had a higher stop loss we could have managed to stay in it. 1925.00 was a key level for gold.
AUDNZD- Valid shorts or market manipulation?As we can see price has now confirmed this lower low, but is it just the markets trying to manipulate us retail traders to fulfil our stops? We need to wait to see how price develops on the 4Hour chart, any wick closes will signal the orders have been met and it is valid to enter a short.
Financials in trouble200sma has been a strong resistance since the March drop. The red circles show 4 times trying to get to it.
Placing fibonacci retracement lines shows confluence with a support level (green rectangle from late June --> early July)
The 20sma crossed below the 50sma on September 27th. (Bearish signal trend model)
Also, if we close at the current price, we are getting a bearish engulfing candle.
I would feel comfortable getting in around $22.7, being fundamentally bullish on the sector.
RidetheMacro| AUDUSD Crawls downwards 📉AUDUSD Key Points
The Focus will be on the Australian Dollar this week with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) expected to make a major decision on its cash rate. Additionally, the government will release its Annual Budget.
As of Friday’s close, market consensus was evenly split on whether the RBA will adjust the cash rate in October or November. A 50/50 consensus usually means no rate cut.
Rather than another full 25 basis point cut, it seems most market participants are anticipating some version of “micro easing” such as lowering the official cash rate from 25 bps to 10 bps this month or next.
“Consequently, financial markets are now anticipating a roughly 50% chance the RBA will cut the official cash rate before the end of the year,” according to Brian Reid, Treasurer of Newcastle Permanent.
For weeks, investors had been pricing a rate cut to 0.10%, based on forecasting from Westpac. But that changed last week with Westpac economists now forecasting November instead, at the November 3 meeting.
until the Next time.

#Rescue packages ahead or #Bankruptcy wave #Banks #RevolutionChart technical target already processed.
In my opinion, wave targets should be searched lower.
1. either massive bank failure ahead with bail-ins or
2. massive rescue packages from the ECB.
I bet that ECB will buy bank shares massively and issues uncovered blank checks within the EURO system.
What comes to my mind?
I have to buy more gold and silver shares again.

Banknifty Trading in the Zone October 1st weekBank nifty is trading with comforts to distribute sums . Now the much depends upon it to continue the trend or give whipsaws, as for the technicals market has kept bearish view even though a more U shaped recovery to say. However what we notice is that if the U shaped recovery was itself weak then BN would have weaker retracement .232 possibly. Thus a very reasonable target on upper side and more bias towards downward spiral. However we feel a sideways movement would be warranted for the coming week as a cooling off week.
The World Reserve Currency - Be Prepared!The US dollar is the world’s main reserve and payments currency, meaning it is the currency in which most global trade and investment takes place. I do believe something is about to happen that will shatter the dollar to all time lows and the COVID impact was only the induction of what is about to come. The FED has been using methods to inflate the market by printing cash, bailing out Wall Street and issuing loans to businesses with repo agreements that will all have to be paid back at some point but before this happens I am expecting a massive bubble which will lead to a major crash in the dollar. The moves to come will be historical and could be one of the most volatile events we have experienced across all asset markets.
Prepare for lots of volatility filled with quite a number of opportunities, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg so far.
HSBCOverall opinion is to SELL ..
A lot of confluence technical factors :
200 ema price down , trendline in place and price has closed consistently below
37.87 ( Engulfing Bar) and formed a critical Swing High /rejected and closed below 38.48.
We are currently trading below the crucial 52day low 19.70 , so cautiously looking for a stable level of support to BUY, complimented by key fundamentals.
Also consecutive drops in revenue over the last few quarters.
ridethepig | Banks vs Utilities It ought to be known by everyone that it is necessary in certain recessions for dead cat bounces and over a typical 5 quarter economic cycle down, it is not uncommon for 1 or 2 of those quarters to be bullish. I suspect that the strength around all the discounted earnings from August is mostly baked in now.
The concern, in the MT and LT, is the 2's 5's screaming recession is not over. Such a devastating blow that will have appeared too simple for many participants as Central Banks did not allow the manoeuvre to unfold yet. Here sellers should try to seize the lows; no matter how risk free the current environment may seem; confidence is damaged and civil unrest is in the game. I do hope my judgement of this is not over will be proven wrong, and that it really is different this time.
As usual thanks for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎
Ready for upward movement after pennant breakoutJPM showed relative strength during a market pullback and confirmed a pennant breakout with its close even on a down day. A rotation into banks may provide the volume this needs to see fib targets above. Safe entrance above last market open. Stop loss can be set at the fib below.
Tightly coiled ready for an explosive moveMany eyes on GS and with a rotation into the financial sector it could truly break out and hold the gains. With the market pullback, gains were softened but the RSI >50 indicates strength. Any entry above the pennant is a good one and should see a retest of the fib above in the next few trading sessions. Fib below can be used as stop loss.
JPM long entry with break of downtrend lineA downtrend line has been forming since pre-COVID highs forming a solid setup. Recent highs over $106 failed to break upwards, a break out of the downtrend can see targets above, with the marked fib close as the support below. Stop loss set below the lows of the most recent daily candle.
