AUD/CAD: Geopolitical Factors and Technical Signals at play Dear traders, Dive into the AUD/CAD realm with a blend of geopolitical insights and technical signals: Before we venture into any further downward potential, keep a close eye on the critical level around 0.8822 for potential breakthroughs. Here's the geopolitical and technical mix in our AUD/CAD analysis: Geopolitical Considerations: Wednesday's Bank of Canada interest rate decision sparks intrigue. The balance of power in this market may shift, reflecting the delicate dance of global influences. Canada's economy, tethered to oil prices, could witness changes spurred by escalating tensions in the Middle East. A surge in oil prices may bolster the CAD. Conversely, any disturbance in the Persian Gulf, a vital oil source for China, could ripple through Australia's economy, intertwined with China's fate. Geopolitical events, like the Hamas-Israel conflict, may reverberate, potentially impacting China, Taiwan, and, subsequently, the AUD. Technical Signals: The battleground of charts and indicators beckons. Before anticipating major moves, consider the technical landscape. The Bank of Canada's decision could sway the market sentiment, making the 0.8822 level a pivotal point. A breach could signal a shift in the technical dynamics. This amalgamation of geopolitical considerations and technical intricacies sets the stage for an engaging AUD/CAD landscape. Stay tuned, adapt to unfolding events, and trade with prudence! Best regards.

The ETF AftermathIt has been 1 year almost to the day since my last publication and what a 12 months it has been. I previously laid out the case for a pending future recession but not before we saw massive regular bullish divergence play out on the monthly time frame for Bitcoin. Since then we've seen a 187% move in BTC, a 25% move in the S&P 500 and every commentator, pundit and analyst confident that a recession has been avoided and a soft landing inevitable. I'm here now telling you that I believe it to be no coincidence that the previous fundamental legacy events of which bitcoin has experienced in its past, once in Dec 2017 and the other in April 2021 has resulted in massive price corrections of 83 and 53% respectively within days of the CME and IPO announcements. Albeit the likelihood of such massive corrections are lesser given where we are in the macro cycle I do believe a sizable correction will occur days following this announcement. What is of significant interest on the chart is the previous macro fibonacci extensions of the precious 2 cycles. That being a confluent correction at the 0.5 fib level and seeing a 40% and 72% correction there after. A 0.5 extension in this current cycle would suggest a monthly wick above $48500 followed by again a sizable correction. To pontificate as to the extent of this correction I pose the following possibilities. -A 30% drawdown to the 200 SMA, a support level which has served Bitcoin well historically -A 40% drawdown to the 6 and a half year support line of macro lows. -Or an unthinkable 70% correction somewhere around the previous bear market low, 2017 bull market high and the resistance held in July 2019 and Aug 2020. For this to take place we need to consider some very worst case scenarios and evaluate the current macro/geopolitical landscape. -Escalation of war in Russian Ukraine. -Escalation of war in Israel Palestine. -Military development of China's desire to remove Taiwan's international independence. -The largest inversion of the 10 year 2 year yield curve in 40 years. -The largest contraction of US M2 money supply since the great depression. -A continuation of what is already a 50% crash in China's real estate market. -A UK real estate crisis once affordability ceases as mortgages need rolling over after a 10,000% increase in interest rates. -A US real estate crisis as 11 monthly falsified unemployment data is realised -The energy and manufacturing crisis in europe compounded by the highest debt to GDP ratio in its history -A Hollywood presidential election between a criminal and a dementia patient. My point is the macro landscape is looking unpredictable and the TA has much confluence. This feels very much like it did in the beginning of 2020 just before the un-inversion of the yield curve and the then pending recession. It's almost like something globally needs to be orchestrated in order to create an excuse to lower rates and roll the debt over for another 4 years!! Who knows it might even be a cyber attack and CBDC implementation ;-) Either way Bitcoin will still be doing its thing. Keep yourself and those satoshi's safe.

Buy VIX Futs with an ETF for simplicity before Santa rally overDowbt Im only one who is front running reversal unjustified market rally with no earning proof driven by inflation that is diminishing no longer supporting earnings JPM'a theory basically mid this pas year but he was correct but too early to the earnings crash party! Now that Dem's fiscal punch bowl is nearly empty adding 7 trillion to national debt in less than a year to help midterms and markets just priced in 5 rate cuts and earnings multiples at 20 (long-term=15) including mag-7 take out mag-7 not so hot). Hard to justify any more growth with excelorating diss-inflation and "black-swan" risk is non-black swan character as so many increasingly potential systemic risk just keep stacking up, plus a corrupted Presidential Administration, Congress, Dept. of Justice, FBI, Dept. of homeland security, school system, universities, and mainstream media have perpetuated/caused the problem with bs employment numbers, omissions and flat out lies as well as staring wars, ruining trade agreements and unleashing the worst inflation in 40 years all about to collapse from sheer societal rejection that will most likely be exposed causing worst crash best described by Jeremy Gratham (just YouTube him if your not familiar with the oldest and most historically-successful "Wall-Streeter perma-bear") NOTICE: Expressions are not recommendation or advice. If you are not competent then obviously should consult what is called an "Advisor" on the subject. Don't blame me if you make a decision based on this as it is only an opinion and past performance does not constitute a reasonable basis for future performance or non-performance as we don't have a time-machine obviously this goes without saying but some really doubt people make it a habit to assume they know with certainty and can guarantee what the future holds and to those I say sit down and humble your self or the market will humble you for yourself in "New York Second," and that is pretty fast. Just saying, don't be a fool and use common sense and trade size and don't blame others for your decisions, and, trade responsibly.

Navigating Gold's Trajectory Amidst Geopolitical Tensions: An InOANDA:XAUUSD In the ever-evolving landscape of financial markets, gold continues to capture attention as a reliable indicator and safe haven amidst turbulent geopolitical climates. Today, we delve into a comprehensive analysis of the gold market, shedding light on key trends and factors that shape its trajectory. Our analysis revolves around two critical elements: the trend and Fibonacci theory, coupled with a keen eye on geopolitical considerations. Recent developments in the gold market have prompted a closer look at the interplay between these factors. **Trend Analysis:** Examining the chart, a noteworthy break in the descending trend has occurred, marking the emergence of what we term the "temporary trend" (depicted by a dashed line). This trend, typically manifesting during corrective movements, presents an intriguing opportunity for market participants. Despite the price residing below the ascending zone, geopolitical undercurrents provide a compelling argument for an impending upward surge. **Fibonacci Theory:** Overlaying the chart with Fibonacci retracement lines reveals strategic entry and profit-taking zones, intricately tailored to accommodate varying risk tolerances. This meticulous approach enhances decision-making for traders navigating the complex dynamics of the gold market. **Geopolitical Influences:** Current geopolitical tensions, notably the intensification of conflict between Israel and Gaza, coupled with decisive actions taken by the United States against the Houthi group, inject an unprecedented level of political tension into global affairs. The potential for regional conflict looms large, raising the specter of a global war. This has direct implications for gold as a safe haven, with maritime transport costs soaring to a million dollars per trip. The Red Sea, in turn, transforms into a quasi-ghost sea, signaling a paradigm shift that suggests the world may witness substantial price hikes and inflation. In this scenario, gold emerges as a robust catalyst for upward movement, with price targets reaching levels that border on the fantastical. **Risk Mitigation:** On a strategic level, it's prudent to acknowledge that an announcement of a "ceasefire" in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza could act as a potential deterrent to gold's upward momentum. In such an event, a reconsideration of open gold-selling deals and a proactive approach to risk management may be warranted. In conclusion, as we navigate the intricate web of financial markets, understanding the confluence of trends, Fibonacci theory, and geopolitical dynamics becomes paramount. Gold, in particular, stands poised at the intersection of these forces, presenting both challenges and opportunities for astute investors. For further inquiries or insights, please contact me

EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Nov 17, 2023Technical Analysis and Outlook: The Eurodollar has experienced a notable recovery after successfully achieving the designated target of Inner Currency Rally 1.077. This means the Euro has bounced back significantly and shows positive momentum in the currency market. However, as the Eurodollar approaches the next selected mark, Key Res 1.092, it may encounter significant resistance. The price of this resistance level is essential, suggesting whether the Eurodollar will likely fall further. Furthermore, if the Eurodollar fails to surpass the Key Res 1.092 level, it could continue its downward momentum and reach the Mean Support level of 1.084. This crucial support level will offer a substantial price platform against further downward movements. Therefore, it is also essential to keep an eye on the Eurodollar's performance at this level.

EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Nov 10, 2023Technical Analysis and Outlook: The Eurodollar has undergone a notable downtrend movement from our Key Resistance level of 1.075, a significant level of resistance that the currency has been unable to break through. As a result, it is now expected to gradually move towards the Mean Support level of 1.061, which is strategic support for the currency. Furthermore, the Eurodollar may extend its bearish momentum and reach the Mean Support level of 1.056, which is a firm level of support. However, it is worth noting that the currency could rebound toward uncompleted Inner Currency Rally 1.077 and Key Res 1.075, a level of resistance that the Eurodollar tested in this week's trading session. If the currency breaks through these two levels, it could complete the current Inner Currency Rally 1.077 and continue its upward trend.
