Economy
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.

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For August 19, 2022 Technical Analysis and Outlook
The current market destiny is the newly created Mean Sup 4205. The Mean Sup 4162, as specified in S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For August 12, is open for business. However, a high probability is an immediate rebound to Key Res 4302 and Inner Index Rally 4330.
📊SPX: another fall is near❓📊 Since mid-June, market participants have witnessed the recovery of the stock market, that has dipped significantly after the aggravated geopolitical situation and rising interest rates. The S&P500 index reached $4300 and is now testing serious resistance (resistance line). After a very impressive recovery, the rally in the market may stall due to increased concerns about the state of the global economy.
On the chart (left), you can clearly see how the market reacted to the last three rate increases (+0.5%; +0.75%; +0.75%). The latest increase of 0.5% on April 4 turned out to be unfavorable for the market (-18.17%). Further two increases of +0.75% had a positive effect and the market rose by +6.79% and +7.80%, coming close to offsetting the previous decline. Raising the rate to 3.0% is currently estimated at 75% probability. Until that time (09/21/2022), growth is expected to continue. Going forward (in the second half of September), the market may face profit taking from long position holders, which could cause a fall, if not a sharp fall. However, there is also the possibility that there will be intense short selling pressure. It is especially necessary to pay attention to the price area near the $4590 level.
It's not just America that's worried about a recession right now. Germany and other eurozone countries are hit hard by the energy crisis. China's economic growth concerns also came out this week, following the release of disappointing statistics on retail sales, industrial production and fixed investment on Monday.
If concerns about the continuation of the "bear" market are justified, then we can expect a fall of -20% (based on historical data).
To top it all off, the Fed has just begun to cut its balance sheet. We know that interest rates will rise in the short term, and not just in the US. Inflation in advanced economies is on the rise. The global economy is suffering, and the central banks of almost every major economy are tightening their policies. In such conditions, the growth of shares is not to be expected.
USD/TRY now looks to the CBRTUSD/TRY now looks to the CBRT
- USDS/TRY clinches the second session in a row with gains on the back of the continuation of the bid bias in the greenback, always amidst persistent risk-off tone and helped further by rising US yields.
- In the meantime, the lira is expected to remain under scrutiny ahead of the interest rate decision by the Turkish central bank (CBRT) later in the week. Consensus among investors, however, sees the central bank staying on the sidelines and keeping the One-Week Repo Rate unchanged at 14.00%.
What to look for around TRY
- The upside bias in USD/TRY remains unchanged and stays on course to revisit the key 18.00 zone.
- In the meantime, the lira’s price action is expected to keep gyrating around the performance of energy and commodity prices - which are directly correlated to developments from the war in Ukraine - the broad risk appetite trends and the Fed’s rate path in the next months.
- Extra risks facing the Turkish currency also come from the domestic backyard, as inflation gives no signs of abating (despite rising less than forecast in July), real interest rates remain entrenched in negative figures and the political pressure to keep the CBRT biased towards low interest rates remains omnipresent. In addition, there seems to be no Plan B to attract foreign currency in a context where the country’s FX reserves dwindle by the day.
*Key events in Türkiye this week: Budget Balance (Monday) – CBRT Interest Rate Decision (Thursday).
Eminent issues on the back boiler: FX intervention by the CBRT. Progress (or lack of it) of the government’s new scheme oriented to support the lira via protected time deposits. Constant government pressure on the CBRT vs. bank’s credibility/independence. Bouts of geopolitical concerns. Structural reforms. Presidential/Parliamentary elections in June 23.
USD/TRY key levels
- So far, the pair is gaining 0.13% at 17.9604 and faces the immediate target at 17.9874 (2022 high August 3) seconded by 18.2582 (all-time high December 20) and then 19.00 (round level). On the other hand, a breach of 17.1903 (weekly low July 15) would pave the way for 16.3438 (100-day SMA) and finally 16.0365 (monthly low June 27).
- USD/TRY adds to Monday’s gains near the 18.00 mark.
- The current consolidation remains capped by 18.00.
- The CBRT is expected to keep the current status quo.
The lira depreciates further and motivates USD/TRY to once again challenge the upper end of the current range just below the 18.00 yardstick on Tuesday.
Does it make too much sense?The daily NASDAQ hasn't fallen below the 900d MA since the Great Recession.
Leading up to the Great Recession, there were 2 traps on the NASDAQ (one pushed the 0.38 fib and the other pushed the 0.5). When the second trap hit the 0.5 fib level, the NASDAQ crashed. In other words, it bounced off the 900d twice before capitulation set in. The current market saw the NASDAQ break through the 0.38 level (assuming because of market aggression and the fact that the dollar is inflated) and it reached the intersection of the 100d and 200d MAs earlier this year, and now it's approaching the 0.5 level again.
The economy is chalked.... The economy was saved during COVID via a bubble. Print and hand out money to keep things going (probably necessary). But the Fed didn't react quick enough with the rate increases, especially once everyone realized our "leaders" had no clue what they were talking about related to COVID. So, the bubble grew. Oh, and Ukraine, China, etc....
I have a chart on my page that overlays the inflation rate over time and unemployment rate over time. Every time the inflation rate spiked, unemployment follows on a lag. So, I'm expecting unemployment to increase in the coming months, and this lines up well with the movements described above. I mean, we're already in one, but our government is either that far gone or that stupid... idk which is worse.
So, there are so many things that say the crash is coming, but does it make too much sense?

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For August 12, 2022 Technical Analysis and Outlook
The current market destiny is Inner Index Rally 4330; however, Key Res 4302 might disrupt its journey steady to higher - the market will very likely turn down following the completion of the above markings. Mean Sup 4162 is a major show stopper.
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.

US Recession? We will Sink at least 50% For a Recession.Between the 2008 great financial housing crisis, the end of the dotcom bubble in the year 2000, the 1970s stagflation recession, and the great depression of 1929 all have one thing in common. The market retraced at least 50% from it's peak. I personally believe the US economy is in conditions for a recession that will at least sink 50% or more if we were to compare to past indicators and technical conditions of a recession.
Just my opinion take it with a grain of salt. At the end of the day past is no indicator of the future. However history doesn't repeat itself it often rhymes. There's been a lot of rhymes I'm seeing. Much peace, love, health, and wealth!
Meta analysis Long term.Meta is the big bet made by Facebook to corner the market on digital devices hardware currently causing problems for their other business models. The whole effort is a data wolf in sheep's clothing and precisely why they will compete long term with a decentralized metaverse from one of the big web 3 players the sandbox, decentraland, and the other side among possible other competitors in web 3.
In short Facebook and its various platforms compete with digital content companies of various backgrounds for the 18-29-year-old audience.
They do so with various products such as Video, Messenger, Whatsapp, Groups, Search, Workplace, marketplace, etc.
These software services want to collect data to sell to advertisers to predict what an individual will want. This requires knowing more about a person than usually they know. The problem for Facebook (now Meta) is that they don't control the devices this data is generated on. Apple and Google do and they don't take kindly to a data leech on their business model. Since they control hardware decisions Meta is up a creek when decisions like IOS 14 allow you to turn off the data gathering. This is Metas' biggest problem and why oculus is so important.
Snapchat challenged Facebook with filters and private messages and expiring messages capturing marketing dollars so facebook built a clone, stories, and Instagram.
Tik Tok challenged Facebook on short video stories capturing marketing dollars so Facebook built a clone, reels.
The bet is that metaverse interactions through either VR or AR will be the big new thing after short-form video as the primary method of interaction on the internet. Meta wants to not just be ahead of their next competitor and out of cloning and catching up territory but fully into controlling the hardware that is used to interact with such systems.
Horizon is their metaverse world which one can access through either oculus or eventual AR equipment through their partnership with Luxottica.
This is the pivot to Meta and much like other tech stocks, it has been hammered by the early stages of the current recession. Meta has big hoops to get through such as onboarding a population of users who need new hardware, and their future is rocky due to the past relationships with data from Facebook.
The future will see Meta compete with the global decentralized blockchain web 3 metaverses for control of the digital twin infrastructure represented by NFTs controlled by self-sovereign identities or DAOs in a fully digital economy that directs resources of automated systems of production.
The problem for Meta, in the opinion of this author, is they only seem aware of the interaction part of the business model for profit. They want data to sell to other companies. Meta doesn't seem to grasp the macro implications for the profit motive of production that a Metaverse enables. astoundingly, they're thinking too small.
Centralized Corporations will be most challenged and supplanted by DAOs given enough time in a sufficiently decentralized metaverse. There is a possibility that a subset of DAOs enabled by quadratic voting can capture immensely profitable internet functions of the modern world. In time due to competition on price and thus profit margin, some DAOs will rise to multi-national levels. Some DAOs could become big enough and faceless enough to rend populations from their governments by challenging the interests of power. Government regulation of such DAOs will be difficult if neigh impossible, especially if profit margins of too big to fail entities are to be maintained. In such a world DAOs would hold the keys to data that participants in the DAO contribute. Some subset of such DAOs would for profit sell their data to advertisers in ways voted on by the DAO members. Precursors to this exist already such as Brave and their token BAT.
Corporations destabilize government decision-making for their gain in a system designed as their sandbox. This author suspects DAOs as a disrupting force, are a possibility among the larger outcomes of various crypto ecosystems and their synergies in the long term. An exponential change in adoption of crypto more broadly could have that scenario happen sooner rather than later. But on the scale of decades, it's a distinct possibility.
For Meta, the question is can you own anything in such a world and sell it to anyone else, including data, or are they just happy to make a profit for now before that transition occurs? Do they play whack-a-mole with crypto project models much like their other competitors Snap and TikTok?
Whatever happens it'll be fun to watch zuck and his bucks while we make alien memes for the next few decades at least. All the best, see you on the moon.
Big Head and Shoulder Pattern 10 yearHey all just showing the ten year is looking like it will fall in anticipation of the fed relaxing its polices as we are in recessions and the labor market might weaken with the layoff announced by the big boys (tesla, Apple, google etc.) the distance of the head to neck bring the target to 2% which is less then current interest rates so I don't know if it will go that far with out something breaking in the economy first to cause this sudden shift in fed policy. Although Bull will put this in there case of the bottom is in history does not favor that philosophy. If you actually do research at the old peaks in the 10yr yield you will see markets usually collapse with the yield. Examples are 1999-2000 as the tech crash started, 2007-2008 as the GFC started and even in 2018 yields started to fall and the market bottomed after another +10% fall so watch out dont get FOMO in current rallies.

Inminent RecessionWell, it seems that historically when we get to the current sentiment about the economy, it predicts a strong recession. At this point, it has not happend because taking into account real interest rates, the economy continues being at expansionary levels, but this will cause more harming to purchasing power as inflation keeps growing.
