COVID: WINNING OR LOSING THE WAR?The chart shows cumulative cases in USA, GB and Germany.
Some don't like cumulative data. Case rates per day seem to matter more.
But in terms of understanding whether the war on COVID is being won, I say cumulative data is where the focus needs to be. Why?
Case rates per day or per week are the 'noise'. That rate will pick up fluctuations. Some people may get excited if there is a fall in rates over a few weeks. But short term rates do not give the big picture.
Cumulative figures over along period tell a different story. How they are interpreted is important. The actual figure at any one point is not that important.
It is the shape of the curve that matters more. How?
If a virus is dying out, one can expect there would be very little accumulation. We should see a clear flattening or perhaps only a very gentle rise.
If the virus died completely, the curve would flatten and remain flat because accumulation would be zero.
Of the big three GB (green) and USA(amber) have been taking on a sharper rise. It appears that the accumulation began around 1st December 2021 and that was realised near 25th December.
Obviously, Omicron was a new phase - piling on the accumulation.
Whilst the Omicron variant appears to have a lower case fatality rate than previous versions, what we're seeing in other data is how disruptive it is of health, other essential services, and transportation services.
Evolutionary theory will say that an organism mutates in the direction of an advantage that maximises its survival. Omicron has achieved that. It was not surprising. It's not in COVID's survival strategy, to become more 'killing' - simply because it needs more of its host to spread itself. What we don't need is a stronger big brother of Omicron.
Omicron (and Delta) are more serious risks to economies than death rates from infection.
DATA
MDT 2XMeasurable Data Token is an incredibly unique protocol which allows users to both own and earn from their own data. Over and over again the term "data is the asset class" is stated within a slew of new blockchain protocols, unsurprisingly. These data protocols, at least as seen with MDT are far less dependent on the volatility of Bitcoin.
In this case entry between a 33% speedline retracement at .0806 and prior daily support of .0742. Recently added to Coinbase after prior being available on Gate and other large to small but less reliable exchanges with less liquidity, it appears to be settling into a pattern, albeit expedited still. SL being kept at 5% below the lower buy zone, but preferably no daily close at 3% below or .072. If so will look for new entry closer to prior trend line.
Currently up 11% on the daily would layer bids with significantly closer to the lower end of buy zone of .0742. Will be my second go round with this token but use case warrants it and a target of .1612 is not at all out of the question.
Stocks Awaiting Key Macro DataStocks seemed to have topped off just below highs. Persistent risks like the impending Evergrande default, Fed tapering, and Omicron seem to be completely shrugged off. However we do appear to be in a sideways correction between 4668 and 4729. We are seeing both green and red triangles on the KRI corresponding to the upper and lower bounds of this range and suggesting a narrow band for the price action for now. Tomorrow is a big data day, as we will have CPI and Michigan Consumer Sentiment. It would make sense for stocks to hold the range in anticipation of this data. But if we do break out, 4729 should provide resistance. If we break down from this range then there is a cluster of levels below ending at 4632. Watch the vacuum zone below that to 4580.
High density in DATA, Mid-term is greenDATA is one of the good tokens to swing with it and take short-time profits but now there is dense on the chart, so it seems mid-term is going to make all the holders happy. I will hold some. December could be a great month for this undervalued project.
My targets:
- 1st: $0.24
- 2nd: $0.33
- 3rd: new ATH around $0.5

#PLTR reacts well on 20$ support and closed above yesterday highAs I shared this morning, I hoped for a daily close abve the high of the yesterday doji candle. The price managed to close higher than that and this is to me a great sign of possible reversal and confirmation of the rebounce from the 20$ level.
I just would like to mention that the last two times the RSI touched the oversold territory (May and July 2021) the price reacted reaching an average of 45% increase and I want to think that this might be happening again this time.
Not a financial advice, just personal opinion. Do your own due diligence and good luck!
🉑StreamrDATA-The time has come? Solid conditions for a breakoutThe price is currently sitting in the area of big support, actually the biggest support confluence since the beginning of this year. Could this mean the next push towards the area of major resistance will actually break it? Very possible, we'll see what happens.

It will utilize smart contracts to allow machines and individuals to trade data across its network.
Essentially, the network will facilitate a marketplace that allows anyone to publish or consume data. The Streamr team believes it will break the data monetization mold big businesses have set with cloud services.

$COR: A CORE Position For A Deflationary Environment?Real Estate has seen some specific winners starting to emerge, however, as the Fed soon begins the tightening process, is it possible we still see more in the tank for IYR (REIT ETF) as the Dollar continues it's rally? Keep in mind, a rate hike currently isn't priced in until July of 2022 and the inflationary pressures have been strong but with some patience on the REIT investor's part. I do believe the company could be primed to make an early run before a defensive cycle emerges. I'll scale in and manage risk based on price / sentiment toward the defensive names as a whole.
$SRAX: Still A Chance For Growth Stocks?$SRAX is a unique company with technology that aims to bring transparency to markets, the Russell 2000 has been strong lately but will it be sustained in a potential rising rate environment? Or can SRAX over come it all as it aims to turn a profit? Time will tell
