SPY OUTLOOK 06/05 - 06/09Last week, the debt ceiling lift was signed into law which saved the US from defaulting. All of our upside targets hit last week, and the market reacted favorably with a green week up +3.2%. With not much on the economic calendar, I doubt we move much this week, but expectations of a soft landing can keep bulls in control.
Technical Analysis:
This week AMEX:SPY broke out to the upside of the megaphone we were watching since April. We are at a critical point in the market as we tested the top of a macro trendline dating back from September 2022.
Although I can see the market moving higher in the short term, I’d expect some corrective action in the coming weeks. Even if we head higher, we will need to build some levels of support and resistance if we do head higher.
Bulls will want to hold price above the megaphone breakout. If price can continue above last week’s high 428.74, our next level above is 429.57, with not much resistance until 433. What is more likely this week is some sort of healthy pullback before we head higher. I can see SPY coming down to test the daily gap made on Friday (422.92-423.95). If this doesn’t hold, we have a golden pocket from 420-421 where we can look for buyers to step in.
Bears will want to invalidate the golden pocket and control price action under last week’s point of control at 419.
Upside Targets: 428.74 → 429.57→ 433.07 → 436.10 → 438.08 Extended: 441.21
Downside Targets: 425.14 → 423.95 → 422.92 → 421.02 → 419.00 Extended: 416.22

A Comprehensive Guide to Picking Winning StocksHello,
Investing in the stock market can be a profitable endeavour if approached with the right strategies. Picking winning stocks requires a thorough analysis of various factors, including understanding the company, assessing the market environment, evaluating opportunities and threats, identifying company weaknesses, and setting realistic targets. Today we aim to provide a step-by-step guide on how to effectively select stocks that have the potential to generate favorable returns.
Understand what the company does:
Before investing in a stock, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the company's business model, products or services, and its competitive advantages. Analysing financial statements, annual reports, and researching the company's history and industry can provide insights into its operations, revenue streams, and potential for growth.
Look at its stock price trend:
Evaluating the stock price trend is essential to identify patterns and potential entry or exit points. Technical analysis tools such as moving averages, support and resistance levels, and chart patterns can assist in identifying trends, price reversals, and market sentiment. Combining technical analysis with fundamental analysis provides a more comprehensive view of the stock's potential.
Understand the market environment:
Assessing the overall market environment is crucial as it can significantly impact stock performance. Factors such as economic indicators, industry trends, interest rates, and geopolitical events should be considered. A bull market generally favors overall stock performance, while a bear market presents more challenges. It is important to align investment decisions with the prevailing market conditions.
Understand the opportunities ahead:
Identifying potential growth opportunities is vital to selecting winning stocks. Researching industry trends, technological advancements, new product launches, or expansion plans can provide insights into a company's growth prospects. Additionally, evaluating the company's competitive positioning and its ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities can help assess its long-term potential.
Understand the threats:
Identifying potential threats or risks is equally important in picking winning stocks. This involves analyzing factors such as competitive landscape, regulatory changes, disruptive technologies, and potential challenges the company may face. Evaluating a company's risk management strategies and its ability to adapt to changing market conditions is crucial in assessing its resilience.
Discover company weaknesses:
Conducting a thorough analysis of a company's financials, including its balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, can reveal weaknesses and areas of concern. High debt levels, declining revenues, or low-profit margins may indicate underlying issues. Additionally, analyzing key performance indicators, management quality, and corporate governance can provide valuable insights into a company's overall health.
Set the target for the company stock:
Setting a realistic target price for the company's stock helps determine its investment potential. This involves evaluating the company's historical valuation metrics, such as price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, and price-to-book (P/B) ratio, in comparison to its industry peers. Consider both short-term and long-term factors, such as earnings growth projections and market sentiment, while setting a target price.
Decide whether it is a good company to buy or not:
After evaluating all the above factors, it is essential to make an informed decision on whether to buy the stock. Consider the company's fundamental strengths, growth prospects, competitive advantages, and valuation metrics. It is advisable to diversify the investment portfolio and not rely solely on one stock. Consulting with a financial advisor or conducting further research can provide additional perspectives before making a final investment decision.
I wish you the best in your investment journey!

U.S. National Debt U.S. default
A topic that has been stirring people's minds in recent months is the U.S. debt ceiling. The general public is asking the question:
"Will the national debt ceiling be raised or will the U.S. default?"
The national debt is the result of the government's financial borrowing to cover the budget deficit. And, as you might have guessed, these borrowings must be paid for.
For the last ~100 years, the U.S. has existed on borrowed capital by placing Treasury bonds. And there is a purely nominal borrowing limit, which in fact America has raised 45 times in the last 40 years so that it can borrow more and more and more. And if they don't, the Treasury will no longer be able to issue debt securities and will only have to cover their expenses with cash balances from their balance sheet.
Spoiler: no money to pay off your own debt
💡Logical conclusion.
The national debt ceiling will be raised anyway, and all the current discussions have only political overtones and have nothing to do with the real economic model of the states. Consequently, no teeth-grinding default and collapse of the global financial system should be expected
How will the increase in state debt affect the cryptocurrency market?

🔥 CAKE = 💀Last month I made an analysis on CAKE and the fact that it was selling off severely. My 2.50 support was the last hope for the bulls, which inevitably failed.
Fast forward to today, and we're trading at 1.50, a truly abysmal feat. Short-sellers are happy, stakers and investors are either exiting in droves or seeing their funds evaporate.
I think that there's little hope for CAKE to ever recover from this. Unless they make some drastic changes to the tokenomics of this token, I don't see it ever taking off again. Keep in mind that this is normal for a lot of tokens. The good ones survive the bear market, the bad ones die.
We might see some kind of pump occurring over the next year, but I'd be surprised if this token will go above 3.00 ever again.

Bitcoin Bearish for rest of year. Buy in DecemberAs much as I love BTC for a insurance policy against government debt, it is still subject to human nature. Fear and Greed. And with proxy exposure to the function of all financial markets, liquidity. I want to believe that we have seen the worst that is to come for now but at this point it feels like sticking my head in the sand.
How can we not see a correction in the markets that is one for the history books after the swings we have experienced over the last few years? Or was there just SO much liquidity in the system at basically 0% interest rates for a decade that even after an increase of FED fund rates (10 fold of anything we have seen, ever) we have just made up for lost time and its now time to carry on as per schedule.
The trade:
- Short any pops (ie retest of trendline) until later this year
-All in again in Nov 2023 to Feb 2024 (debt crises should have sorted itself out by then)
ACA/USDT 1D. Fall out of channel. Manipulation.Here's coin in DOT ecosystem - Acala network.
Though it has problems with its stable coin etc. there's space for earning money. Here's how.
There was an accumulation channel(logic of the current movements). In it the volume was accumulated.
Now there;s a break down of this channel. Price is dumping. The meaning of it - is how i've already described - collection of stop losses.
From the support price has now dropped 37% down. We've come to the first support and potential reversal zone 0.545$. Yellow level.
The second one is on the chart.
When dropping out of that horizontal channel we had - the downtrend channel started to form, this is when we speak about technical side of this potential manipulation.
Now as you can notice on the chart - the price is on the support of this downtrend channel.
Hence we can at least work locally from the support considering potential bounce of the price.
LTC & ADA Will Crash 90% – Bear Market Has Not Even Begun Yet!The bear market has not even begun yet for 99% of altcoins, such as Litecoin (LTC) and Cardano (ADA).
I expect these coins to crash at least another 90% from where they currently are.
I agree with people such as Big Cheds, Bob Loukas, Benjamin Cowen, and others that altcoins are far from having bottomed and in fact that the bear market has not even begun yet.
Anyone using leverage of 1.01x or higher and who is long will surely get liquidated within the next 1-3 months.
Bitcoin will crash to sub $10k as well.

BTC - Ready Steady Shoot 🎯Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
As per my last analysis, we know that BTC rejected 30,000 resistance and now trading lower for a bearish correction.
Now what?
🏹 Here is why the 25,000 zone marked by red circle is a strong support:
1- Round number => 25,000
2- Classic Resistance Zone Turned Support
3- Lower red trendline acting as a non-horizontal support
4- Lower orange trendline acting as a non-horizontal support
5- Demand zone
📈 As per my trading style:
As BTC approaches the red circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

S&P MAJOR Pivot Point back to 2009 LOW - LOWER Prices likely!!Markets are at MAJOR Pivot point around this Trend Line connecting 2009 GFC Low at 666 to today's CLOSE and last DECEMBER 2022 High.
Markets typically get rejected off this resistance and have been rejected every time since 2009 EXCEPT when we had LOW Interest Rates + PPP after Covid. That is ONLY time markets broke ABOVE this line. We broke Below this line in 2022 drop and its proven to be a major pivot point with prices struggling to stay above it. Most recently Price was rejected from this line in Dec 2022. We are retesting it again after Breaking the Downtrend Line from 2022 that everyone thinks means that we now have a "melt up".
Current S&P Price is at May 2021 levels when we had ZERO Interest Rates and PPP. We are ON this Resistance/Pivot Line. CPI Data comes out in the morning.
Probabilities suggest the market gets rejected and goes LOWER not higher. Despite the break in downtrend.
For those of you that think Breaking a down trend and melt up is imminent go back and look at S&P chart in March - May 2008. The SAME Exact pattern as is being formed today occurred before the market tanked lower for next 12 months from May 2008 to 2009 low.

AMZN - From A to Z Analysis ✈️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
As per my last analysis (attached on the chart), we were looking for buy setups short-term as AMZN was sitting around a strong support.
AMZN rejected the 80.0 support and traded higher. However, we are still overall bearish trading inside the falling channel in blue.
🏹 For the bulls to take over long-term, we need a break above the upper blue trendline and blue zone 110.0
📉 Meanwhile, the bears can still push lower for a higher low . In this case, as we approach the 80.0 again we will be looking for new short-term buy setups.
Which scenario do you think will happen first? and why?
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

Quick overview of banking results: JPM, Citigroup, WFCThe last week brought earnings from three major U.S. banks, including Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase & Co., and Wells Fargo. Overall, the results for the first quarter of 2023 were mixed, with indicators pointing to positive and negative trends. All three banks showed solid growth in revenue and non-interest income. However, declining deposits and loans paint a worrisome picture for the industry (together with rising provisions for credit losses). As a result, we believe the theme of banking earnings will be “big capitalized banks that can make money even in the current environment versus small, less resilient banks facing obstacles ahead.”
Citigroup
Citigroup Inc. reported a net income of $4.6 billion (up 7% YoY but down 19% YoY when excluding divesture-related impacts) for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $4.3 billion for the same period in 2022. The bank’s revenues grew 12% YoY (or 6% YoY excluding divestiture-related impacts) and 19% QoQ. Operating expenses rose by 1% YoY and 2% QoQ. Citigroup's end-of-period loans were $652 billion at quarter end, down 1% YoY. Deposits remained unchanged versus the prior year, standing at $1.3 trillion.
JP Morgan Chase & Co.
For the first quarter of 2023, JPMorgan Chase & Co reported $12.6 billion in net income (up 52% YoY and 15% QoQ) and record managed revenue of $39.3 billion (up 25% YoY and 11% QoQ). Its noninterest expenses rose to $20.1 billion (by 5% YoY and 6% QoQ). The Consumer & Community Banking division had an ROE of 40%, with average deposits down 4% YoY and client investment assets down 1% YoY. The Commercial Banking division saw its average loans grow 13% YoY and 1% QoQ. However, it experienced a decline in average deposits of 16% YoY and 5% QoQ. Meanwhile, the Asset Wealth Management division saw average loans drop by 1% YoY and 1% QoQ, with average deposits declining as much as 22% YoY. The bank’s total deposits dropped by 7% YoY and average deposits by 14% YoY and 3% QoQ.
Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo reported $4.9 billion (up 32% YoY and 52% QoQ) in net income and $20.7 billion in total revenue (up 17% YoY and 3% QoQ) for the first quarter 2023. Net interest income rose by 45% YoY, while noninterest income dropped 13% YoY. Period-end deposits decreased by 8% YoY and 2% QoQ. Furthermore, period-end assets fell by 3% YoY.
