Corn Futures Expected to Move Lower Towards 563'4Disclaimer The views expressed are mine and do not represent the views of my employers and business partners. Persons acting on these recommendations are doing so at their own risk. These recommendations are not a solicitation to buy or to sell but are for purely discussion purposes. At the time publishing, I have a position in Corn Futures ( ZC1!). Trend Analysis The main view of this trade idea is on the 2-Hour chart. ZC1! Hit some resistance around the 572’2 price level and is expected to move lower in the short term. This resistance is a lower high on the commodity and is expected to make another leg lower. Technical Indicators ZC1! is currently above its short (25-SMA), medium (75-SMA) and fractal moving averages. This price increase appears to be a counter trend move of an overall decline in the commodity. The RSI was overbought and is now trending lower towards the 50 level. Moreover, the KST is also displaying negative divergence as the indicator had a negative crossover. Recommendation The recommendation will be to go short at market. At the time of publishing ZC1! is trading around 563’4. The short- term target price is observed around the 548’6 price level, towards the medium term SMA. A stop loss is set at 572’2. This produces a risk reward ratio of 1.56.

The Dollar Index Breaks Higher - A MirageAfter trading at the highest level since 2002 during the risk-off period when COVID-19 spread worldwide like a wildfire, the US dollar index fell, making lower highs and lower lows from March 2020 through January 2021. The index fell from 103.96 to a low of 89.165, a 14.2% decline in the index that measures the dollar against other world reserve currencies. The Fed tightens without tightening credit The dollar index breaks above a technical level The greenback remains in a medium-term bearish trend The long-term trend is higher Fiat currency moves are a mirage for one critical reason After consolidating around the 90 level from mid-May through mid-June, the dollar index took off on the upside in the aftermath of the latest Fed meeting. While the dollar has moved higher and eclipsed a short-term technical resistance level, the medium-term trend remains bearish. To confuse matters, the long-term trend dating back to 2008 is bullish for the US dollar index. Governments and monetary authorities manage currency markets to provide stability for global financial markets. Meanwhile, the overall foreign exchange market is more than a mirage because it is not readily apparent if the asset class gains or loses value in a larger sense. The bottom line is that the dollar and other fiat currencies rely on the full faith and credit of the governments that issue the legal tender. The dollar may be rallying against other currencies, but it can also be losing purchasing power making the entire currency market a farce. The Fed tightens without tightening credit At the June Federal Market Committee meeting, the US central bank left the short-term Fed Funds intact at zero to twenty-five basis points. The committee said it would leave its quantitative easing program unchanged and continue to purchase $120 billion in debt securities each month. The only change was a slight increase of five basis points in the reverse repo rate. The bottom line is the Fed continued on its accommodative monetary policy path. Meanwhile, the central bank increased its GDP growth forecast from 6.5% to 7% and its inflation expectations from 2.5% to 3.4%. While very little changed, the rhetoric shifted towards tighter credit policies as the Fed acknowledged rising inflationary pressures. Seven committee members project a rate hike in 2022, with two expecting two increases in the Fed Funds rate. The markets viewed the statements and rhetoric as a sign that tighter policy is on the horizon and tapering QE will occur sooner rather than later. Commodity prices fell in the wake of the Fed meeting as rising interest rates increase the cost of carrying raw material inventories and financing production. The dollar moved higher as interest rate differentials are a critical factor for the value of one currency versus another. The dollar index breaks above a technical level The dollar index took off on the upside in the wake of the June FOMC meeting, surpassing a short-term technical resistance level. The daily chart of the September dollar index futures contract illustrates the move above the May 5 91.41 high on June 16, the day after the June Fed meeting. The index rose to a high of 92.395 on June 18 before correcting. At the end of last week, the September dollar index settled at the 91.844 level, above the breakout level at 91.41, which is now technical support. The prospects for higher US interest rates were bullish winds in the dollar’s sails. The greenback remains in a medium-term bearish trend While the dollar index rose above a technical resistance level, the greenback remains in a bearish medium-term trend despite the recent rally. The weekly chart shows that the index has made lower highs and lower lows since March 2020. To negate that bearish trading pattern, it needs to rise above the critical resistance level at the 93.47 level from the week of March 29, 2021. If the dollar index stalls and fails to rise above that high, it will put in another lower peak to continue the bearish trend over the past fourteen months. The long-term trend is higher To confuse matters, the dollar index’s long-term technical picture remains bullish over the past thirteen years. The quarterly chart highlights a pattern of higher lows and higher highs for the dollar index since reaching a bottom at 70.805 in early 2008. With a bullish short-term trend, a bearish medium-term pattern, and a bullish long-term trend, the path of least resistance of the US currency against other world reserve currency remains in doubt. However, it may not matter if the dollar index moves higher or lower against the euro, yen, pound, and other leading fiat currencies. The index could be a mirage masking the overall weakness in the foreign exchange arena. Fiat currency moves are a mirage for one critical reason The foreign exchange market only measures the value of one currency versus another. The price differentials tell us nothing about purchasing power other than if one foreign exchange instrument is trending higher or lower against another. The recent rise in the dollar index that followed on the heels of a more hawkish tone from the Fed could be a mirage. The bottom line is the dollar’s purchasing power has been declining. The May CPI data shows a 5% increase and a 3.8% rise, excluding food and energy. While many commodity prices corrected lower in June, crude oil and natural gas made new multi-year highs. The energy commodities power the US and the world. Rising prices are inflationary. Inflation erodes the value of money, making it more expensive for consumers to purchase essentials. While the dollar index recovered from the 90 to around the 92 level, the move is a mirage that masks the long-term trend in all fiat currencies. In 2019 and 2020, gold reached a record high in all fiat currency terms. Gold in euros, pounds, yen, dollars and most other foreign exchange instruments rose to record levels. Central banks hold gold as an integral part of their foreign exchange reserves, making the yellow metal a reserve currency alongside the dollar and the euro. The bottom line is that inflationary pressures continue to rise. The dollar index could continue to power higher over the coming days, weeks, and months, but the US currency could be weakening at the same time. A pivot towards a more hawkish approach to US monetary policy may lift the US currency, but that may only make the dollar the healthiest horse in the glue factory.

NQ1!, Relentless Uptrend IntactDespite everyone's anticipation of a market correction and even big crash, the price continue to climb keeping the relentless up trend intact. The technical analysis and simple trend lines help to stay objective and tag along with the price or wait on a sideline for a sell signal if this is your preferred direction. There is no way to say when the sell signal is created what is for sure is that the market makers will not start selling when everyone is expecting it . It is against the nature of their business to show the hand. However, the price action, if read correctly, gives away their intend. Failure to make a new high, a consolidation - are signs for a potential sell signal to come. One need to remember: a buy or sell signal occurs is an official invitation to the public when the market maker has finished accumulation/distribution and initiated an advertisement campaign to either sell or buy at discount. They always buy low and sell high, they always win. If you want to succeed in this business you need to think like a market maker. Have a great weekend! 06/26/2021

NQ continues to be lucrative for me. Hope for you too.If you were to look at my recent ideas you might be thinking to your self that all I trade is NQ. But I can tell you I also trade ES, RTY, CL, GC and sometimes VIX. Howevers, right now NQ has been making me profit after profit so why stop on a good thing I say! You can see my long trigger. this is if price breaks above black trendline. This had a false breakout last week but then price dip below again. This trendline has been since February with a couple of times it being test. So it is pretty strong in my opinion. If it breaks it should be good profits with my target at 14573. You can enter aggressive with entry on breakout, or wait for confirmation of breakout with retest of this black trendline. This is more conservative. You can see my short trigger too. This trigger is if price breakdown below top dotted yellow line. Then 2 profit targets- 1st at 14025 and second at 13907. Both my triggers are in a very little range. this tells me we are getting a bit of a squeeze though it would be hard to tell by just looking at price action. My RSI and MFI are both hanging around 50 which is a nother signing of squeezing. Which ever direction it breaks I am looking at big profits in part due the squeeze. Let Me know if you have questions, comments, concerns or input. I love that you all read my ideas closely and appreciate feedback and different ideas. Thumbs up me and this makes me happy too! I hope to be posting more, but I am finding it really hard to find time lately. Hopefully real life will settle down and I will be posting a lot more. With Love Miss Bunny
