Bitcoin monthly delta volume divergence is the largest everThe total volume for bitcoin this month on binance BTC/USDT is the largest on record. If we look to cumulative delta volume, we can see the insanely large divergence going into the monthly close. This suggests buyers are stepping in and absorbing a lot of selling volume. Not only that, the CVD has pushed back up above the 20MA. Times of divergence in CVD suggest a change in momentum. The higher the timeframe, the more significant. You can see a similar event on the COVID 1M candle in March '20 where the candle was bearish but delta volume showed buyers soaking up the sell volume. This is an important time for bitcoin and crypto. Currency and bond markets in turmoil, major companies are facing slowing growth, employment etc and the macroeconomic outlook looks bleak. If bitcoin is to show its value, its here, otherwise... run. NB: There are inherent "issues" with CVD that one should understand when interpreting it. The official tradingview CVD indicator gives a great summary about this.

XJO AUS200 retraced only 0.382, chops around median of pitchforkXJO acting as an inflation hedge, except when recession kicks in, which will kill all demand. XJO or AUS200 is outperforming US indices coz in a high inflationary environment, a country producing a lot of commodities tend to do better. Another example is Brazil with ticker symbol EWZ, which is also a good inflation hedge if dont want to use PFIX to capture rising rates. Gold right now is crashing with equities & not acting like an inflation hedge as it is supposed to do. As you can see in the chart, there is a perfect pitchfork with XJO chopping around the dotted median. As shown in the past, the green pitchfork level should offer a strong support should XJO fail to hold the median of pitchfork. On the other hand, a bounce from the median may send XJO to the top of the pitchfork for a new high. Also, XJO has made many measured moves…like the 3 DARVAS boxes or fractals down from its all-time-high. landing or stopping exactly at the Fibonacci 0.382. Next stop may be the 0.50 Fib & also along the green pitchfork level mentioned above. Among some Australian commodity stocks doing well are IGO (lithium), BOE (uranium), & BHP (metals & potash) Not trading advice

DBA - Invesco Agriculture Fund Commodities are currently repricing lower due to the looming global slowdown. Meaning, there is more potential downside for commodities However, There are more significant tailwinds that will push commodity prices higher in the longer term. DBA ETF broke out of yearly downtrend in 2020 indicating that higher food prices are in the global outlook for the upcoming years. A pullback is probably overdue but after prices stabilize, we can see the DBA ETF push significantly higher. The first stop is fair value (red line).

Inflation not going to slow down for the US until 2028In the short term - like today! 8:30 EST 13 Oct 2022 If the CPI (measures inflation) comes out at above 8.2% this could lead to a market crash as the Fed would likely raise interest rates by another 100 bps on 2 November to curb inflation. If the CPI comes out below 8.2 this could spark a market rally as they will believe inflation is starting to cool down. In the long term. Price broke out of the W Formation and is showing major upside to come for Inflation. This could go on until 2028... If this happens, there is a potential Depression that could kick in world wide. This depression would then last for another 10 - 20 years (if they can get it under control). We need a government and quantitative reset... Sorry for the doom and gloom but it's not looking good technically.

Bitcoin Adjusted For Commodity & M2SLChart shows historical price of Bitcoin adjusted against both the Global Commodity Price Index and M2SL, and may serve as a visual aid to illustrate Bitcoin price adjusted for rise in commodity prices while taking into account increase in money supply. This chart therefore accentuates and magnifies the recent downturn by taking into account both rising commodity prices due partially to increase in Money Supply and money supply increase itself. One could make the case that this chart distorts the price of Bitcoin. One could also make the case that the chart illustrates Bitcoin's shortcomings as an inflation hedge. Regression analysis shows retrace from cycle ATH to ATL becoming more severe with each downturn. By this measure, we might try to look for 88% retrace on this chart.

Where are commodities heading to? Beyond 2022Where are the meat or commodity prices heading? Meat prices have been rising at a rate of about 3% per annual over the last 40 years. Meat is what I classified as an edible commodity, so is corn, wheat and rice. And as these commodities start picking up in prices, they are the one that will give the central banks a huge headache and to consider to hike its interest rates than the other commodities in the CPI basket. Why is this so? In short, people can still live with some inconvenience without cars or petrol, but not without food. Therefore, there is an urgency for the policy makers to first take care of the basic needs of the people. Content: . Long-term direction of Live Cattle . Trading ideas .

A little hack here to project the coming CPI data and also to know how aggressive the Fed will be with interest rate hike - you may consider to track the development of these edible commodity prices, if it is still trending up, we should be expecting a higher CPI and interest rates.

XAUUSD LONG-TERM PLAN, Ideal prices for investmentGold is a practical and easy investment for anyone. For those of you who have medium or long-term goals, such as sending your children to a higher level or buying a house, gold investment is one of the keys. Gold often referred to as a safe haven asset, which is an asset that is known to be unrelated or has a negative correlation with other assets or investment portfolios when there is turmoil or uncertainty in the financial markets. When global economic uncertainty and a decline in market participants' confidence in the government, the price of gold increases. In other words, gold is a valuable safe haven and can protect investors' assets during a crisis. We know for now there is still a lot of uncertainty in financial markets, geopolitics, military, and disease outbreaks. Gold still tends in highly priced for long-term investment. Technically in the next few months gold may breakout from the green support area due to tightening monetary policy from the most central bank around the world. then towards macro support. This is my strategy which can be seen in the chart of the best prices to buy gold for long-term investment.

The Return of the Golden BullThe Return of the Golden Bull Technical Analysis - Gold has been in a 2 year consolidation, after a 7 year uptrend of over 90% from 2018 to 2020. - Price Action is contracting on a monthly basis, within a bullish pennant. - After an intermediate bear trend of 3 months, Gold is at a massive horizontal support, coming from the 2011 High. - Gold is also right above the rising trendline from the march 2021 low and above the falling trendline from the august 2020 high. - This might be a multi year buying opportunity for Gold, it is hard to put a price target on it, but I would assume around 4000$ could be achieved, if everything goes as expected. Fundamental Analysis - There is also a point to be made for gold, fundamentally. - We are at record inflation, tightening into slowing economic conditions. - Bonds are loosing massively, as are equities and Bitcoin. - Gold has been holding up rather well, despite the US10Y and the DXY rising relentlessly. - In my opinion this is an indicator, that Gold is still the true safe hafen asset to investors, in case of monetary debasement and simultaneously worsening economic conditions. Enter the trade - I am waiting for a short term trend change, as we are currently below the 5, 10, 20, and 50 day moving averages. - I want to see Gold above a rising 5dma, crossing the 10dma. - I am also looking for a weekly close above 1877$. - Gold has been awfully hard to trade in the past months, due to extremely choppy action, often giving daily buy and sell signals on the RSC Trend Trading Indicator, right after each other, so I will be cautious. This is not financial advice, I wish you good luck trading. Cheers Tom

BITCOIN - Updated Mini ChartToss a coin? Close to just that but the situation is bad: Inflation announced as hotter-than-expected inflation data fanned fears that the Federal Reserve might take a more aggressive stance on interest rate hikes, potentially tipping the economy into a recession. The main indexes, however, bounced off session lows as investors looked for signs that inflation had peaked amid a broad retreat in commodity prices, with Brent and U.S. crude now trading below $100 a barrel. U.S. consumer prices accelerated in June as gasoline and food costs remained elevated, data showed, resulting in the largest annual increase in inflation in 40-1/2 years and cementing the case for the Fed to go big on rate hikes. It used to be that Inflation was high and Bitcoin would rise..that was the norm In reality we all saw what we expected today: that BTC would follow the indices which would follow the result. So, at the end of the day yes: Bitcoin is deflationary, trustless, limited in number and all the good things that we know about it; and yes, it should rise... but for the time being things look bad and a rejection is most likely. Personally i prefer it to break higher but that's just my personal opinion. One Love, the FXPROFESSOR ps. Very tricky market today, been a bad day but a trader knows how to handle it. I am short on Ethereum at the moment with money i can afford to speculate with.. off to bed and see you all tomorrow 💙✍️

GDX GOLD MINER may bottom@24 or 21 zone to retest channel.GDX seems to be doing a BIG UPCHANNEL started from the 2016 low & retested at the 2018 low. If this lower channel is to be retested, GDX may bottom at the 24 green zone. This is the most probable since this is also the 2016 VWAP & the FIB 0.618 retracement from 2016 low. However, if you look at the VOLUME PROFILE, then GDX may fall more to the 21 zone to create a divergence, ending wave 1 of wave III. BULLISH longterm: Gold & gold miners will be a good hedge during rising inflation or recession. Every portfolio should have this insurance policy & some other defensives like XLV health, XLP staples & XLU utilities. TLT bonds will also rise during recession while US10Y rates go down in a deflationary environment. GDX may be just in the early stages of the longest wave III rally & has a long way to go. GDXJ Junior miners fell a lot more so I think percentage wise it will have to rise more just like today. Miners tend to be the leading indicator for GOLD. Gold may fall more to the 1670 to 1760 zone. Gold recovering 1800 will be very bullish while GDX reclaiming 30.37 wave 1 top & previous neckline pivot will also be bullish. Not trading advice.

It's the market, babyINVESTMENT CONTEXT For the first time in over three decades Germany reported monthly trade deficit in goods, which accounts for EUR 1bn, against analyst expectations of EUR 1.2bn surplus. The spike in energy prices translated into higher import costs, while the sanctions imposed on Russia and China’s coronavirus lockdowns negatively affected exports Iran slashed the prices of its crude oil to stay competitive with Russia in regards to Chinese clients, in an attempt to maintain market share amidst OPEC's approved volume increases In the first half of 2022 coal imports in Europe increased by 35% on a yearly basis, earmarking the continent's struggle to cope with lower crude oil and natural gas supplies from Russia In June, the Caixin China General Services Purchasing Managers Index reached 54.5, beating analysts expectations of 49.7. Analysts appreciate the index crossing the 50-point threshold which separates expansion from contraction The ECB expressed concern on the potential overlapping amongst the EU member States in the matter of regulating cryptocurrencies. Aiming at "harmonizing" the bloc's policy-making on the issue, the bloc is about to implement Markets in Crypto-Assets, or MiCA, framework  After shedding USD 200mln assets in the past three weeks, Coinbase-backed crypto lender Vauld suspended trading and withdrawals. Meanwhile, Estonian cryptocurrency exchange capped withdrawals to USD 5k a day PROFONE'S TAKE European electricity prices hit record high levels, soaring on July 4 to EUR 325/MWh in Germany and EUR 366/MWh in France. European zinc and aluminum producers, whose activity hinges on energy prices, are struggling due to the combined effect of surging costs and falling prices on industrial metals as recession fears loom. Profs maintain bearish views on European energy, not ultimately considering that Nord Stream 1 pipeline will be closed for maintenance starting July 11. Elsewhere, French nuclear capacity stands at historical lows, since the country had to shut down for an indefinite period 12 of its 56 reactors due to unexpected corrosion of infrastructures. As a result, neighboring countries are now forced to burn additional gas to provide France with electricity, while all continent struggles to fill inventories before winter under mounting fears of further Russia's cuts of gas supply. PROFZERO'S TAKE What is a currency? To think of currencies in terms of supply and demand tends to be trickier than, for instance, commodities. After all, how can there be "demand" for money? What is the use for one, especially if foreign? And what is the return? In reality, it takes but to look at 2 pairs to understand the extend of supply-demand logics into FX markets. Looking at RUB/USD, we see right away that something must be off. The pair is now trading below its point before the war (61.08 vs. 75.45 on February 7), at a time when Russia had 9.5% interest rate and U.S. was still stuck at zero-rate. Today, the base rate applied by the Russian Central Bank is still 9.5% (after it shot to 20% a few days following the invasion of Ukraine), while that imparted by the Fed is 1.50%; yet, RUB is stronger than ever. Why? Because demand can't fully satisfy itself unloading RUB-based exposure (think of Russian equities held by international investors), while artificial demand for RUB has been created when Gazprom (GAZP) demanded energy bills to be honored in currency. Looking at EUR/USD instead, it is hard to justify the 15% slide on a yearly basis just by looking at fundamentals. While it is true that the Fed's monetary policy has been much more responsive to inflation than the ECB's, forward rates ought to be tilted to a sensibly stronger EUR due to more resilient growth in the area. Why is that not happening? The answer lies in the USD 4tn capitalization wiped from the S&P 500 and perhaps also the USD 2.1tn evaporated in the blockchain space - an unprecedented watershed of cash which sought refuge in cash USD-denominated deposits.

The heat may be offINVESTMENT CONTEXT Inflation in Eurozone climbed from 8.1% in May to 8.6% in June, growing in 17 of 19 countries, with the notable exception of Germany (slide from 8.7% to 8.2%) and the Netherlands (from 10.2% to 9.9%). ECB officially scrapped its EUR 20bn/months bond-buying program on July 1 S&P 500 energy sub-index fell 17% in June, ranking as the worst-performing within the index While U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced “the single biggest tax cut in a decade”, estimated in of GBP 6bn (USD 7.4bn), France slashed its forecast for GDP growth in 2022 from 4% to 2.5% After lifting objections, Turkey said that it could still block Finland and Sweden’s accession to Nato in case if Nordic countries failed to meet the demand of Kurdish separatists extradition. Inflation in the country is still just a hair below 80%, as the Central Bank refuses to raise interest rates, leaving analysts to presume capital controls may be introduced to stop the bleeding On July 3, Russia announced its full control of Luhansk region in Eastern Ukraine, after seizing the city of Lycychansk, the last Ukrainian holdout in the area Digital asset brokerage Voyager Digital suspended trading, deposits, loyalty rewards and withdrawals on July 1, after sending a default notice to hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) U.S. markets closed on July 4 for Independence Day; European markets regularly open PROFONE'S TAKE Global equity markets recorded their worst half of a year since 1970, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq collapsing 21% and 30%, respectively. Deep risk-off sentiment still grips most areas of the market, fueled by growing inflation (8.6% in June after 8.1% in May in Eurozone; U.S. print expected in the coming days) and next steps of tightening monetary policy (in July, both the Fed and the ECB are expected to hike rates by 75 bps and 25-50 bps, respectively). The correction in energy and industrial metals prices was caused by mounting recession fears, while also a potentially better than forecasted harvest season in some parts of globe (U.S., Europe, Australia) could ease the pressure on consumer prices. Still, Profs don’t see the emergence of any major catalyst that could trigger a sustained reversal: for instance, on the macro front, there are no clear-cut signs of a ceasefire happening in Ukraine, thus leaving the threat of supply chain disruptions looming. PROFZERO'S TAKE As early as May 6, ProfZero placed global credit markets on particular watch, as much of the global pressures could be expected not only to raise the costs of business financing; but in more dire terms, to trigger defaults on weakest borrowers. On May 20, Sri Lanka defaulted for the first time in its history, as the economy was crushed by unsustainable fuel and food prices; at the time of writing, also the State of Laos faces fuel shortages and growing default risk. ProfZero is not particularly concerned by Russia's technical default, which has been clearly caused by the effect of sanctions; in contrast, what catches its attention is the state of financial health of several European countries, and chiefly Italy, who relied excessively on both low interest rates and the ECB role of buyer of last resort. Analysts have already dubbed ECB President Christine Lagarde messages on fragmentation as "vague" - and nothing irritates traders more than ambiguity, save, perhaps, short sellers, who indeed are piling up bear positions (Ray Dalio's Bridgewater has amassed some USD 10.5bn sell-side positions). Europe is the epicenter of this bear market - and ProfZero unfortunately sees scant chances for a quick turnaround ProfZero is also unfazed by the purported fall in commodity prices. While certainly the prices of cotton, wheat, copper and iron ore are are down even up to more than 30%, European natural gas is trading at EUR 155/MWh for 1-month deliveries - compared to EUR 22.11/MWh on July 4, 2021. Inflation is certainly receding from certain corners of the economy - but the European energy tangle remains far from being undone

Don't fear the capitulationINVESTMENT CONTEXT Fed Chair Jerome Powell confirmed the key priority of the Fed is bringing down inflation, even while acknowledging that monetary policy can't address critical components like food and energy. Powell also a stated a recession is “certainly possible,” but not in the near term as the U.S. economy remains “in good shape.” Turkey's central bank is expected to hold its benchmark rate steady at 14% on June 23, after it kept interest rates deeply below zero when adjusted for inflation. Norway's Norges Bank is instead set to hike its key rate 25bps to 0.75% Russia is facing three interest payment transfers totaling almost USD 400mln on June 23-24, but more pressing is a Sunday-night deadline on previous missed payments from late May. If the country fails to make those payment - ca. USD 100mln of bond coupons - it will effectively be declared in default Global bank Citi said the probability of a recession is now approaching 50%. The Bank expects 3% growth for the world economy this year and 2.8% in 2023 U.S. President Joe Biden called for a gasoline tax holiday, in an effort to relief households from pump gasoline prices, which briefly surpassed USD 5/gallon BTC trades have entered a dangerous (4) channel with trading range set between 19-21k as volumes fail to return to the blockchain space PROFZERO'S TAKE Value investing has been the key theme across Q1 and most part of Q2 this year, as investors unloaded Growth assets whose bulk of profits are located deep into the future, hence more exposed to higher interest/discount rates. That trend is set to reverse should a recession materialize. In particular, the undisputed champions of the past 150 days, namely Oil & Gas stocks, may steeply retrace as energy demand is threatened by slowing pace of industrial expansion, particularly in China. ProfZero warned back in April that the fat dividends paid this year may dwindle in 2023 as a protracted bear market triggers a recession; consistent with that, ProfZero maintains faith in Value-like Growth stocks, which enjoy state-of the-art balance sheets; top cash generation; and most importantly excel at intangible assets and services - natural price deflators for the economy ProfZero concurs with ProfThree thinking one step ahead - demand for industrial commodities is by definition pre-cyclical, and any slowdown in the near-term should be taken as an early sign of a cooling global economy. Seeing Brent crude tumbling more than 2% just on recession concerns confirms in ProfZero a sense of unease while looking forward on Energy equities; thinking even further though, the feeling of concern permeates the post-recession recovery, whose seeds do not look planted as of yet PROFTHREE'S TAKE One of the commodities to watch this week is iron ore, which has seen a slump to USD 110/ton on June 20 after topping USD 150/ton just two weeks ago. Profs’ eyes are obviously on China (ca. 60% of global steel output), where demand seems to be under threat following the news that steel mills are cutting production in response to weakening real estate sector. ProfThree contends iron ore quotes are finally close to their fundamentally justified levels after a long period of speculation-driven pricing. Yet, a further dramatic correction could still happen since the second half of this year is expected to bring an increase in steel output from China, compensating for the 10% y-o-y output reduction in Q1 due to the Olympics-related emission restrictions. ProfThree also sees infrastructure spending and targeted fiscal as well as monetary stimulus also to prove supportive to supply, thus boosting prices
