Fundamental Analysis

AUDCAD 2HAUDCAD 2H Fundamentals: •The RBA has made its first rate cut, initiating its rate-cutting process. However, this is more of a symbolic cut rather than a genuine attempt to stimulate the economy. It was essentially a “hawkish cut” from the RBA. •We could see a shift in risk sentiment, with the S&P500 currently in an uptrend but recently rejecting a daily resistance. In my opinion, this rejection is just a minor correction. •Oil is also in a downtrend, which should negatively impact the Canadian dollar. •Furthermore, market expectations for interest rates suggest a hold for both central banks, but with an 80% probability for the RBA compared to 60% for the BoC. •Additionally, since the US dollar is undergoing a short to medium-term correction, this could also weigh on the Canadian dollar due to the positive correlation between the two currencies. Technical Analysis: •On the daily timeframe, we can see a descending triangle that has just broken to the upside. •On the 8H timeframe, there is a clear double bottom on the Bullish TrendLine, which acted as strong support. Price is also returning to the trendline, but more importantly, to Fibonacci levels aligning with a major resistance-turned-support. •Retail traders are predominantly short (91%), confirming a potential buying opportunity. •I am placing a buy limit at the 50% Fibonacci level at 0.90060. •Wide stop-loss as we might see portfolio rebalancing from major institutions due to the end of the month, which could bring volatility. •Take profit at 0.92700. •Risk-to-reward ratio: 3.3. •Half-risk position due to Australian CPI on Wednesday and Canadian GDP data on Friday.

EURJPY 2H SHORTEURJPY 2H Fundamentals: •Eurozone 10Y Bonds broke a key ascending trendline to the downside and have now retested it before continuing lower. This suggests that the EUR is overvalued and that investors are losing confidence in the Eurozone. •Conversely, Japanese 10Y Bonds have been in a strong uptrend for a while now. •The Non-Weighted Currency Index also shows that the Yen is strong, as it recently broke a descending trendline, retested it, and then surged higher. •Meanwhile, the Non-Weighted Currency Index of the Euro shows the opposite pattern. A bearish flag is forming on the daily timeframe, which could indicate a potential decline. •Lastly, we have the monetary policy divergence between the ECB and the BoJ. The BoJ is expected to hold rates, while the ECB is expected to cut. •The only concern is risk sentiment, which could weigh negatively on the Yen. Technical Analysis •On the daily timeframe, there is a strong uptrend, but a bearish triangle has formed. •On the 8H timeframe, we can see a 61% Fibonacci rejection, forming a clear double top, signaling strong selling pressure, followed by a break of a key support level. •On the H4 timeframe, another double top confirms the sellers’ strength, further validated by the break of the 50-SMA, which had previously acted as a dynamic support. •I am expecting a rejection at 50% Fibonacci at 156.180, which will be my entry price. •Stop-loss at 159.400, slightly above the previous support-turned-resistance. •Target: 149.000, a psychological level and a round number. •Retail traders are mostly long (80%), confirming that a short position would be a valid opportunity.

BTC Forks & CyclesIt’s Sunday and it’s raining here so I thought I’d write up a post. I was going to review a few alt coins but presently alt movement depends on what btc is going to do so what’s the point of doing alts first. Also, as the title says, I’ve been learning a lot about forks (courtesy of KingCobra) and cycles (courtesy of CamelFinance) which both have made my life a lot easier. Previously, the last few years, I’ve concentrated on elliot wave which is fine and great, but it takes an awful lot of time to try and chart all the coins I’m following, whereas, as a swing trader, its a LOT easier and WAY LESS time consuming to us forks and cycles to estimate pa movement. Don’t get me wrong, elliot wave is still an important aspect I use, amongst other things, but again, as a swing trader, long and short term can be tracked WAY easier with cycles and forks. So cycles. As per Camel, we’re now in the range for a weekly cycle low. Camels cycle indicator, which I’ve subscribed to, shows the “estimated” weekly cycle low happening between March 8-20th. Many people out there are saying end of Feb (28th) is a BIG day for btc/markets. So I’ve used Feb 28 as my cycle low date in the 4h chart above description (the white arrows). So cycles. As per Camel, we’re now in the range for a weekly cycle low. Camels cycle indicator, which I’ve subscribed to, shows the “estimated” weekly cycle low happening between March 8-20th, and many people out there are saying end of Feb (28th) is a BIG day for btc/markets. So I’ve used Feb 28 as my cycle low date in the 4h chart above description (the white arrows). Now forks and the 4h chart. Using knowledge derived from KingCobra, in the chart above there are 2 forks drawn. The dashed white lines designate the boundaries for the forks to help you identify them. The chart is in Linear scale and both forks are mode “schif”. As you can see in the upward sloping fork the all important meridian line has been touched several times shown via the green circles. In the downward sloping fork the meridian line has been touched again several times shown via the red circles. So where do I think btc is going. Well “if” btc drops on Feb 28 or thereabouts, “if” pa hits the meridian line again on the downward sloping fork, that puts pa at 91.1k. If I change the fork to “modified shcif” shown in chart below, pa hits the “median line” at 86.5k which also matches up with the 31% fib level retracement also used by KingCobra regularly. Now I said “if” btc drops because as per Camel, we could have simply more sideways action to get a “timed” cycle low (sometime between now and Mar 20th) and blast off from there. I say blast off because as per the cycle chart, this bullrun has been moving in steps increasing by doubling in price then weeks of sideways action, then another step up. This next step up could take btc to the 180k level whereas using pitchforks and KingCobras method a cycle top is estimated around the 150k mark. indicators. I haven’t included any indicators but suffice it to say, the 1D, 3D and 1W RSI, SRSI and MacD all show a weakening downtrend although all are showing near the bottom of their scales. To me that says a little more downtrend with a reversal uptrend coming. Having said all that, we could be entering a period of economic instability, turmoil and/or recession where markets an btc/crypto all drop for the next several months or a year which would mean that btc and the markets have reached their tops followed by a decline in everything, party’s over, short short short. The next week or three will show us what’s what so be prepared either way. My thoughts, not financial advice Oklah. Cheers

What Happens to Global Markets When the Ukraine-Russia War Ends?What Happens to Global Markets When the Ukraine-Russia War Ends? The end of the Ukraine-Russia war will undoubtedly impact major global markets, here’s what we can expect: Oil Market : With tensions easing, oil prices could drop as supply concerns lessen and sanctions ease. However, global demand could still keep prices stable or even high. Gold Market : Gold, a safe-haven asset, might face a decrease in demand as geopolitical uncertainty fades, but if the end of the war leads to global economic instability, gold could remain a strong choice for investors. Forex Market : The end of the conflict could boost the Euro and USD as stability returns to the market. At the same time, the Russian Ruble might face fluctuations as Russia’s economy adjusts to post-war conditions. Crypto Market : Cryptocurrencies may see mixed reactions—some may retreat as confidence in traditional markets rises, but others could flow in if economic uncertainty continues to prevail globally. 🔮 The war's end could bring hope, but it also presents new challenges for markets worldwide. Stay tuned to see how it all plays out!
