US Inflation Rate, YoY, Double Top? - Long-term ViewPresently, the inflation rate in the US has started falling, which increases expectations for a pivot - end of interest rate hikes. And factually, we can actually expect it. The supply of M2 Money Stock (M2SL) and its annual growth rate are decreasing. The global economy is shifting, as leading economic index (LEI) indicate. This will undoubtedly put pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, after the current crisis, the economic recovery will cause a recurrence of inflation. So, if that is the case, the next decade will be marked by tight monetary policy and high inflation. This situation will let the central banks introduce a new monetary system based on CBDCs using incentives such as cheaper credit. Check also my related ideas. Enjoy

OIL & INFLATION peaked, expect bearish Dollar long termWeekly chart, pointing out Oil's peaks since 2000. Oil is displayed in black, Inflation in red and the U.S. Dollar in green. Excluding the one this year, Oil has had another three major market peaks, during all of which inflation followed suit and fell along. The USD tends to lag in these instances but after a multi month period of volatility, it also falls significantly. In our opinion this is the start of a long term ranged trade on the DXY where investors can buy low on the support that will be soon formed and sell the rebounds near the yearly resistance. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ## ## Also DONATIONS through TradingView coins help our cause of increasing the daily ideas put here for free and reach out more traders like you. ##

Can the US dollar index (DXY) pick itself back up?What a difference a week (or in this case, a single CPI report) can make. Last week we were bullish on the dollar index due to the cluster of support levels nearby, and expectations for inflation to exceed estimates. Clearly, the fundamentals of a much softer CPI report made minced meat of the support zone and sent the dollar index lower, during its worst week since the pandemic. Yet there are signs that momentum is waning and DXY may be due a bounce. It should also be remembered that the Fed are nowhere near this famous 'pivot', and that the Fed will continue to hike rates whilst the economy can withstand it. And retail sales suggest the consumers think they can withstand higher rates, at least for now. DXY daily chart: The US dollar may be approaching a swing low and ticks a few boxes for a potential inflection point. Downside momentum has slowed, a bullish hammer formed on Tuesday and a small inside bar occurred yesterday. Furthermore, it is holding comfortably above the August low and a bullish divergence has formed on the RSI (2). For now, it is a case of seeing whether it can hold above yesterday's low (105.32) and reverse higher, or whether it has one more attempt at testing the August low. Given the magnitude of its losses, mean reversion (higher) seems more likely over the near-term, with potential targets including the weekly pivot point ~108, or the 109.50 area should US data remain firm and Fed members remain hawkish.

GBPJPY: Sterling inflation pressure?!GBPJPY Intraday - We look to Sell at 167.15 (stop at 168.30) We are trading at overbought extremes. Although the bulls are in control, the stalling positive momentum indicates a turnaround is possible. This is negative for short term sentiment and we look to set shorts at good risk/reward levels for a further correction lower. Preferred trade is to sell into rallies. Our profit targets will be 163.80 and 161.05 Resistance: 168.70 / 172.10 / 181.15 Support: 164.40 / 161.05 / 158 Please be advised that the information presented on TradingView is provided to Vantage (‘Vantage Global Limited’, ‘we’) by a third-party provider (‘Signal Centre’).

GBPUSD LongCable is pushing higher as the DXY continues to correct. GBPAUD and EURUSD are also a buy, suggesting that the EUR and GBP are benefiting from a weaker dollar. There is a slight gap left from the opening price compared to last weeks close, so we have the opportunity to fill that. Assuming the same thing happens as last week, we'll carry on higher. But that is the place on the chart to watch for a reversal. The US CPI last week set the re-pricing of assets and there are still around 30 days before the FOMC decide on their next move.

USD/CHF holding support!Last week’s fall in the US Dollar after the October’s CPI was released has been quite rapid. Add in hawkish comments from the SNB’s Jordan, and it’s a recipe for USD/CHF to head lower. Indeed, the pair did move from a local high of 1.0147 down to 0.9398 in just three days. Is it time for USD/CHF to bounce? Notice the RSI in the bottom panel of the chart. It is clearly in oversold territory and diverging from price. This is a signal that price may correct or even reverse soon. Buyers will look to enter near 0.9400/0.9420 and place a stop under the August 11th low of 0.9371. Traders can use Fibonacci retracements from the recent high to the August 11th low to give a more conservative target. First target is 0.9667, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. The 50% retracement level and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level above there are at 0.9759 and 0.9851, respectively. If price reaches each target, traders can use trailing stops to guard against losses.

USDJPY: What to expect for the upcoming days?Hello there! So after the Q3, and the decisions that has been taken by the BOJ concerning the interest rate, in addition to the 0.4% rise in the CPI. As well as the decrease in the DXY during the last month -4.79% and in the last 5 days a decrease that resulted -3.13%. Those factors alone can picture the path of the USDJPY. Going now into the technical part, too many indicators said the way now is bearish, but let's take things more friendly and talk about the structure. Now in lower time-frames, we can see that there was an order block that indicated that the currency will go bull to reach approx. (141.600 - 141.800). But it seemed that it reached something of 140.800, and went bear. So what we could exepect after this small hike? Well, according to some indications and order blocks, taking into consideration the supp. and res. areas, the currency could reach (133.300). But, following the news and the decisions that could be taken will be the ones who decide if the USDJPY will rally down more, or go for a reversal. But in the mean time, nothing indicates at all a reversal based on decisions from the federal reserve or the BOJ, as well as the technical analysis.

Is it Time to get Bullish?Man...what a crazy week last week. With the Elections, CPI and the drama with FTX, it was a rollercoaster for sure. The FTX story was something else. But you know, during recessions, entities get exposed. Same thing happened with Enron in the 2000 bubble, the banks in 2008-2009 and now crypto. As the famous Warren Buffett quote says: "A rising tide floats all boats....only when the tide goes out, you discover whos been swimming naked.". So let's recap a little what happened last week. I've been bearish the last few weeks and I had to be since we are in a bear market. With the Elections, FTX and the CPI report, the market was going to make a decision on the direction and the CPI report was what did it. With the gap up and 7% day on Thursday, it broke out of resistance and the downward trend line. The Dollar got crushed and bonds declined by 7%. That's mostly what fueled the rally. The market has been longing a reason to party because inflation peaked. Did they party to hard Thursday and Friday? Thursday, markets chugged 3 beers.Friday, took a shot of whiskey and said "I'm ready for more next week". So look, I know inflation is still at 7% and we still need a ways to get down to the Fed's 2% target. It's a tough pill to swallow if you were bearish. But, you gotta trade the markets in front of you. Especially if the charts are telling you to go bullish. Generally the week before Thanksgiving is a good week for the markets, just not sure how much higher we can go this week because the markets used up A LOT of energy Thursday and Friday. It needs to take a break. If the market wants to party the rest of this month, I don't see why it could crawl it's way to 4100 before the next CPI report. One thing to note is tomorrow's PPI report. If this report comes in hotter, everyone who bought last week might step back a little. So if that happens, this would pull back the markets. If it doesn't come in hot, then we might head higher at a slow pace the rest of the month. Plan for today: Going to sit on my hands today and wait for tomorrow. If PPI comes in hot and we get a big downward reaction in the markets, I'll watch the price action to see if this is a Bull pull back or not. Come Wednesday or Thursday, I'll see if there's a good entry for a bullish position. Be patient, stay disciplined, control your emotions and trade the market in front of you. Happy trading!

Market Impacts: from Midterms to Second HalfCME: Micro E-Mini Nasdaq 100 ( CME_MINI:MNQ1! ) On August 17th, I published “Market Impacts of US Midterms Elections”. Thanks to your support, it made it to “Editors’ Picks” and was featured in TV Digest newsletter in an email themed “Midterms are Coming” to all subscribers. With the midterm elections coming to an end, it’s a good time to reassess the situation, exploring potential changes in economic policies which may give rise to trading opportunities. In the August 17th story, we have discussed 3 potential outcomes of the midterm election: • Party Government: The President, the House and the Senate are controlled by the same political party • Divided Government: Only one chamber of Congress aligns with the President • Opposing Government: The President and the Congress are from different political parties Before the elections, the Democratic Party controls the White House and both chambers of the Congress. It was clearly a “Party Government” under our definition. As of this writing, Democrats clinched 50 seats in the Senate. With the tiebreaking vote from Vice President Harris, Democrats retain Senate majority. Meanwhile, Republicans lead 212:204 in the House race but has not reached the magic 218 required to flip controls. GOP represent half of the voters in this election. They hold on to at least 49 seats in the Senate, gain more seats in the House, and are likely to retake control. They also have governorship in half of the 50 States. So, why the Midterms are being perceived as a landslide victory for Democrats? It’s all about expectations. Historically, midterms are bad for the ruling party. Whichever party in the White House usually loses seats in the Congress. In the 2018 midterms, Nancy Pelosi led the Democrats to recapture the House of Representatives. With Biden’s approval rate hovering at 40% low, and inflation rate flying high, GOP was widely expected to have a stunning victory at both chambers of the Congress. To the Democrats, the absence of “Red Waves” is a vindication of their political agenda. While a “Divided Government” is still possible pending final results, Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer already claimed election victory. Conclusion: the emboldened Democrats will go full speed with “Build Back Better” in the second half of President Biden’s presidency. Bigger Spending In the last two years, the Biden Administration passed legislations with budget over $4 trillion. These include: • American Rescue Act in March 2021, $1.9 trillion • Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in November 2021, $1.2 trillion • U.S. Chip and Science Act in August 2022, $280 billion • Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022, $757 billion Also in August 2022, the Administration announced a Student Loan Forgiveness Plan that is expected to cost $400 billion. The plan is currently on hold by court orders. In the First Half, new budget items averaged $2 trillion a year. I expect more big budget items to come in the Second Half. If Republicans are not there to slow down the legislative ambitions, it’s hard to tell how big the spendings will be. Bigger Deficit and Bigger Debt According to USDebtClock.org, the 2022 Federal Tax Revenue is estimated at $4.92 trillion, and the Federal Spending Budget will be $5.98 trillion. The shortfall is Federal Budget Deficit, at $1.06 trillion. The largest federal budget items are: • Medicare/Medicaid, $1.490 trillion, (24.9%) • Social Security, $1.231 trillion, (20.6%) • Defense/War, $770 billion, (12.9%) • Interest on Debt, $481 billion, (8.0%) I notice that debt interest has risen by $39 billion from previous estimate, and its share in the federal budget grows from 7.4% to 8.0%, thanks to the Fed rate hikes. US National Debt is estimated at $31.3 trillion. Budget deficit needs to be financed by debt. Therefore, national debt would rise to $32.5 trillion next year at a minimum. While many bonds were issued before 2022 and carried low yields, new Treasury bonds must pay current market rates. Considering Fed Funds already at 4%, I put 3% down as my estimate for weighted-average federal debt service rate in 2023. This would price the annual debt interest at $975 billion, which is 103% higher than this year, and $205 billion more than the Defense budget! With Democrats in control, I expect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security to get favorable budget allocation next year. Heightened geopolitical tensions in multiple fronts justify a bigger Defense budget. Assuming all of them goes up by 5% and there is no change in other budget items, my baseline forecast for 2023 federal budget is $6.65 trillion, an 11% annual increase. Assuming tax revenue goes up by 10%, we will have a budget deficit of 1.23 trillion, a 24% jump from 2022. Big spending legislations could add $1 trillion more on top of this. Sticky High Inflation The US economy is caught between restrictive monetary policies and expansive fiscal policies. When trillions of dollars are flooding the economy and the financial system, prices of goods and services tend to go up. Raising interest rates alone is not sufficient to bring the price level down. This is why inflation is still uncomfortably high after six consecutive rate hikes. Cathy Wood recently flowed an idea claiming inflation could turn negative next year, citing similarity from the Roaming Twenties. I peg to differ. The Federal Government is pumping $6-7 trillion in a $26 trillion economy. Every year, federal agencies and contractors get bigger budget, government employment grows, and federal employees get higher wages. Regardless of the business cycle, one quarter of the US economy is expanding. Industries benefiting from government spending will strive, even if the country may slip into a recession. Higher Taxes Big spending comes with bigger taxes. Government needs more tax revenue to pay for its ambitious agenda. • Higher tax rate on people earning $400,000 or more. New taxes on investment carry interest, translating into headwinds for hedge fund, private equity, and venture capital. • The 15% minimum corporate tax will affect multinational corporations which frequently use offshore tax haven. Potential Winner Unlike political elections, it is tricky to find a clear winner in the financial market. Comparing the performance of major US stock market indexes, the Dow has a year-to-date return of -7.18% as of November 11th, while S&P 500 and Russell 2000 yield -15% and -14.14%, respectively. Nasdaq 100 falls 25.10% and is the worst performer. Big Tech is laden with bad news these days, with missed earnings and widespread layoffs among them. As stock prices are beaten down, valuations become more reasonable. In my opinion, advanced technologies that align with government priorities would benefit in the next two years. Clean energy, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, space technology and electric vehicles are on the receiving end of major government funding. While I was bearish with the Nasdaq at 13,500, I think it could find price support at 10,500. However, impacts from the Midterms interact with business fundamentals, the ever-changing investor sentiments, and major global events. The next Fed meeting is only two weeks away. Let’s wait for the next rate decision, as it is the overarching factor that guides market direction right now. We can put CME Micro E-Mini Nasdaq 100 Futures ( CME_MINI:MNQ1! ) on the watch list today. MNQ has a notional value of $2 times the index. At 11,792, each contract is valued at $23,584. Opening a Long or Short position requires initial margin of $1,500. While the S&P 500 is trending down, certain sectors may outperform the broad market. CME recently launched E-mini S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Futures ( CME:SXT1! ) and E-mini PHLX Semiconductor Sector Futures ( CME:SOX1! ). They each offer more precise trading opportunities tailored to industries benefiting from increased government funding. Happy Trading.

NVDA: Early Bears Punished by Devious WhipsawPrimary Chart: Two Downward Trendlines, Fibonacci Levels, Major Resistance Zone and Anchored VWAP from October 13 Low Early bears jumping in to short NVDA last week were punished when NVDA's apparent breakdown failed. NVDA broke decisively below key Fibonacci support as well as an upward TL off the YTD lows from mid-October 2022. But then this breakdown utterly failed with price moving right back up above the TL and into the parallel channel off the YTD lows. Price also reclaimed that key Fibonacci level at $134.85 (the .382 retracement shown as a purple line). Now price remains squarely within the parallel channel, but on Friday last week, it rallied smack into resistance at the August 4, 2022, VWAP (orange). This VWAP lies at $141.78. Price may pull back from this level a bit even if later it wants to push a bit higher before starting the next leg downward. SquishTrade monitors the $145.87 to $150.67 range as a key resistance level where NVDA's bear rally could ultimately fail. No one can predict the future, so it's important to stay open minded to probabilities rather than remaining married to a viewpoint such as a rigid bearish or bullish argument. Markets love to destroy well-supported but overly rigid viewpoints. In short, the probability of the downtrend resuming continues to increase as NVDA rises higher. The downtrend line and pink resistance zone ($145-$151) marks a key spot where the probabilities for a downward move seem better as long as risk is managed with with a tight stop above this key level. SquishTrade recommends continuing to watch DXY and interest rates as this market remains challenging and tricky. A more conservative approach may be to wait for confirmation rather than getting bearish right at major resistance. The reason for this approach is that one never knows when a bear rally will end, and markets love to whipsaw before starting their real trend move, and this is true especially this year. Some may see a break above the down TL from March 29, 2022 (light blue TL). The linear chart below shows this TL as having been violated to the upside. But keep in mind that the Primary Chart which is logarithmic shows that this TL has not been touched yet since August 2022. The chart below shows the linear chart's version of the TL break. But on both linear and log charts, the longer-term down TL (gold) has not been broken, and that lies significantly overhead. Supplementary Chart: Linear Chart Showing TL Break SquishTrade has been watching NVDA for a short setup, and will continue to monitor how price responds to some key resistance levels. SquishTrade prefers not to consider shorts before earnings. Sure, this may result in missing the move as with AMZN, GOOGL, META, MSFT in recent weeks. But it also may mean missing the complete annihilation of a position as with bears on AAPL or bulls on GOOGL and AMZN around earnings reports in recent days. And with CPI in the US being released this week (November 10, 2022)—and CPI reports have almost started becoming like FOMC days in terms of volatility in equity markets—and with midterm elections on Tuesday, markets could wipe out a fair number of poorly positioned bears and bulls alike this week. Caution is recommended. Wait for the best setups, the right setups for your trading strategy and approach. And remember, there will always be more setups, so don't let FOMO cloud judgment. Bears can get the same degree of FOMO as the most optimistic bulls. ________________________________________ Author's Comment: Thank you for reviewing this post and considering its charts and analysis.

SPY- Bullish Reversal - UpdateThe SPY closed out the week strong after finally getting some strong bullish momentum as a result of the CPI & Jobless Claim Data that came out on Thursday. If CPI continues to decrease as it did, I can certainly see the SPY gaining even more traction and finally breaking out of the bearish megaphone that it has been holding since November 2021. Subsequently, the SPY closed on Friday reclaiming both its 50, and 100-Day SMA's, as well as having the EMA's starting to curl upwards. The SPY is currently flagging on the weekly timeframe and couldn't look better at the moment, while there's a potential for a slight rising wedge to have formed, the plethora of bullish technical, and fundamental indicators will invalidate this wedge even if it does fully form (See Attached Chart Below). On top of this, there is a considerable amount of hidden bullish divergence on the RSI as well as a bullish ABCD Harmonic Pattern Forming. The coming week will undoubtedly be a make-or-break type of week with the SPY going to test its 200-day SMA, which has been acting as strong resistance, especially considering all of the economic data coming out throughout the week. Personally, am bullish here and looking for a breakout on the upside, in my opinion, the drop in CPI could've been the catalyst for the markets to start heading upward and break the downtrend they've been holding. Some RSI-based supply and demand zones to keep an eye on in the interim, Bullish and hedged for the time being, which I hope to cut- --See Previous Charts Attached Below-- --Weekly Timeframe-- --Previously Charted--

Litecoin Rebounds!Litecoin cratered with the rest of the crypto market but has not remained downtrodden. It has since pivoted from lows in the high $40's, and blasted through $55.84 to $61.75. The $60's did little to hold Litecoin back, and we are currently pressing further to $64.37. The Kovach OBV has edged up significantly, suggesting that confidence in this coin is truly high (due to the Moneygram news) and not just volatility. If we break through $64.37, then we could test $66.94 again. If not, expect support in the low $60's, then there is a vacuum zone down to $55.84.

Bitcoin Stable After Wild RideBitcoin plummeted earlier this week off news that major exchange FTX is essentially insolvent. Binance offered to bail them out, but later pulled the deal, exacerbating the situation. Bitcoin tumbled past our level at $17.6K, deep into the $15K's before we pivoted back to $17.6K, after CPI came out softer than expected suggesting that the Fed may pivot in its hawkish rhetoric. Risk-on assets have rallied but the FTX debacle still weighs on crypto. Bitcoin is still bounded from above by $17.6K, and the Kovach OBV has barely inched up. We have had to reference levels we haven't considered in years to get the next level of support down at $15.1K.

CPI Smashes the DXY!The US dollar has smashed through lower levels, careening through our anticipated level of support at 108.50. We fell through the vacuum zone to 107.20, and have broken through this as well. The next level of support is at 106.13. We will see if this gives way to support in the 105's. Any hint at from the Fed that they will remain steadfast in their hawkish stance will cause the DXY to rally again. If we are able to rally again, then 108.50 should provide resistance.

S&P 500 Testing 4000?Stocks have benefited immensely from the CPI print on Thursday which showed that inflation is cooling slightly and therefore may signal a dovish pivot soon in Fed rhetoric. Stock indexes have all rallied accordingly. The S&P 500 is currently at the door of the 4000's. We are testing one level below 4009 at 3978. A red triangle on the KRI does seem to suggest that we will be facing resistance here, but we have not seen a significant retracement. If we do, we should find support at 3937 with 3909 a likely floor. If momentum can continue, then 4009 is the next target.

AUDCAD: Breaking out the major trend due to CPI data.Hey traders, Based on the recent CPI data we can understand that the market is calling for a pivot, soft CPI data tend to give us a bullish stock market and the AUDCAD pair along with NZDCAD is extremely correlated with indices, which means when we have bullish bias on indices we can consider AUD and NZD pairs longs, especially against USD and CAD and you can notice this correlation in current market. hence, in today's trading session we are monitoring AUDCAD for a buying opportunity around 0.876 zone. remember to respect proper risk management especially in this type of environment. 1% risk per trade will allow you to not get knocked from the market if you respect a proper RR too. feel free to leave your questions in the comment section.

The Big Turn?Good morning!!! Wow....just wow. What a day yesterday. Caught me way off guard, that's for sure. The CPI report really just lit the markets on fire bringing it back to that upward channel from the October 13th low. A few days ago I was already mentally preparing myself that this market could go touch 4000 or even 4100. I just wasn't expecting to get there so soon. I did say that I would CAUTIOUSLY buy into this market and follow it up to 4000ish. But with the gap up yesterday and strong momentum, I decided to just watch the action and wait for another entry. So in the near term, looks like it's leaning more bullish. We now have about 64% of stocks above their 50 day, we broke above resistance (3900) and it may have the strength to get to 4100. But then what? Is this the big turn we've all been waiting for? I don't know. Seems that way after what happened yesterday. But I'm still not convinced. You know, I've noticed that over the years, Goldman Sachs is pretty good at calling where we will end the year on the S&P. Earlier this year, they had originally forecasted that we would end the year at 4300. But then... around June or July? Somewhere around that time. They changed their outlook to 3600. Why? What are they seeing coming in 2023 that we don't? I don't know, I feel something bigger is to come in the coming weeks. Plan for today: Since we gapped up yesterday, I didn't buy into it and I really don't want to chase this rally until I get a couple more confirmations. Even though we are above the 50 day and broke out of the downward channel, I'll need a few days to see if I should enter any short positions or get bullish. If we end today with a Harami candle and Monday we have an up day... gotta get bullish. But if Monday we have a down day, then that could show signs that we could head lower. I still wanna see that VIX get to 40 or 50. Either way, be patient, stay disciplined and trade the market in front of you. Happy Trading!
