Japanese Equities Rebound Post Election ShocksJapan’s October 28 elections delivered a surprise to the market with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)’s loss of the majority in the parliament. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba now faces the challenge of securing a majority in the 465-member Diet, Japan’s national legislature, in the coming weeks. This political uncertainty has impacted the outlook for Japanese equities. Typically, such instability would weaken the equity market; however, a combination of a depreciating Yen and a "buy the news" rebound after two weeks of decline has led to a market recovery, with the Nikkei-225 rising 3.7% since the election results were announced. This environment presents tactical opportunities for savvy investors, such as leveraging spreads between the concentrated large-cap stocks in the Nikkei-225 and the broader Japanese equity market through the AMEX:DFJ ETF. Political Uncertainty a Concern for the Nikkei-225 Japan's October 28 election resulted in no party securing a majority, with the LDP and Komeito losing 64 seats, leading to a hung parliament. This uncertainty has raised concerns over the Nikkei-225, as the lack of a stable government could hinder decisive economic policy. Historically, political instability tends to undermine investor confidence in Japanese equities, and analysts are now concerned about the ability of a weakened government to implement coherent economic policy. Following the result, the Yen dropped to a three-month low of 153.88 per dollar, reflecting investor nervousness. The Nikkei-225 rallied 3.7%, driven by a weaker Yen benefiting exporters like Toyota and Nissan. Analysts expect continued market volatility until a stable coalition is formed, with specific concerns around delayed fiscal measures and economic reforms that could weigh on investor confidence. PM Ishiba’s Hawkish Tone Likely to be Tempered Even in Case of Victory Shigeru Ishiba, recently appointed as Prime Minister, has expressed his intention to remain in office, despite facing a challenging re-election campaign after the disappointing outcome of his snap election. Analysts like David Roche from Quantum Strategy and Masahika Loo from State Street suggest his re-election prospects are slim. PM Ishiba has historically supported the Bank of Japan's rate hike strategy and voiced concerns over yen depreciation. However, in light of the election results, his party may need to adopt a more populist stance to retain support, embracing dovish monetary policies and increased social spending. Additionally, PM Ishiba has pledged to introduce a larger stimulus plan in response to the election outcome. This expanded stimulus could conflict with the BoJ’s monetary policy goals, likely prolonging yen weakness. Weaker Yen Supports Nikkei-225 The weaker yen has been a key driver in Nikkei-225's recent stellar performance. A depreciating yen makes Japanese exports more competitive, directly benefiting major exporters such as Toyota and Nissan, which saw gains of over 4% on 28/Oct (Mon). Mint Finance previously highlighted the inverse relationship between the Yen and the Nikkei-225. Recently, however, this correlation has broken, with both the Nikkei-225 and the Yen declining over the past two weeks. Although post-election performance has brought a modest recovery in this relationship, fundamental concerns persist. With the Bank of Japan holding rates steady, the Yen is expected to weaken further. The outlook for the Nikkei-225 is less clear, as it benefits from a weaker Yen yet faces pressures from ongoing political uncertainty. Key Technical Levels Nikkei-225 is trading just above its long-term moving averages which have acted as support after being tested multiple times over the past few months. With the Nikkei-225 in a rising channel and above a support level, price may have some upside. However, the R1 pivot level at 40,525 may act as resistance as it previously has. Nikkei-225 is currently in a price range dominated by buyers over the past month. Overall volume activity shows buyers have remained dominant according to the accumulation/distribution indicator. In case Nikkei-225 breaks out from this range, it is likely to see increased selling. This could lead to a period of consolidation at present levels, especially given the political uncertainty. Hypothetical Trade Setup Tailwinds from the weakening Yen intertwine with headwinds from the political uncertainty for Nikkei-225. Until clarity on economic outlook arises, the Nikkei-225 is likely to remain volatile. Due to the recent diverging performance, the effectiveness of a Yen hedge on the Nikkei-225 has decreased. While the Yen may continue to weaken, it is not likely to have a proportional impact on strengthening the Nikkei-225. However, a weakening Yen also favours large cap stocks that comprise the Nikkei-225 relative to smaller companies such as those comprising the WisdomTree Japan Smallcap Fund ETF (DFJ), which provides broad exposure to Japan equities. DFJ is geared towards small cap firms and excludes the 300 largest companies by market cap. It also caps the maximum weightage of any single sector to 25% ensuring that the index is not impacted by any single sector. By comparison, the Nikkei-225 index is a price weighted index which tilts its exposure towards expensive stocks, especially those from large companies. It also provides exposure to the technology sector in Japan which has outperformed recently due to the burgeoning chip industry. Mint Finance covered the breakdown of the index in a previous paper . The spread between the Nikkei-225 and DFJ ETF has continued to rise over the past two years alongside the Japanese equity rally, though there have been periods of consolidation in between which small caps have managed to to catch up. The peaks in the ratio have been at times when the Nikkei-225 reached a new all-time-high while periods of consolidation following the peak have favoured the small cap equities. This view benefits investors in case the Nikkei-225 retests its all-time-high in the near future. It also benefits from the fundamental drivers that favour the firms comprising the Nikkei-225 compared to the ETF. Investors can express a view by buiding a long position in Nikkei-225 using CME Group futures and a short position in DFJ ETF. Nikkei-225 Futures on CME are available in a dollar denominated form, which negates currency impact from the weakening Yen. For example, a long position in CME Group Nikkei-225 futures provides exposure to a notional value of USD 197,900 (USD 5 x 39,580 index price as of 30/Oct). This would require an extremely large position on the ETF leg to balance out the notional. Alternatively, investors can utilize the newly launched Micro Nikkei (USD) futures which are 1/10th the size of the standard Nikkei 225 futures contract with a notional value of USD 19,790 (USD 0.5 x 39,580). Micro Nikkei (USD) futures are geared towards smaller notional sizes which allows for granular hedging and spreads as well as enhanced capital efficiency. Since their launch on October 28, the contracts have experienced rapid growth and adoption. Over the past two days, 1,370 Micro Nikkei (USD) contracts and 4,141 Micro Nikkei (JPY) contracts have been traded. The contracts also shows a tight bid-ask spread and a liquid market, supporting capital-efficient trading. The following hypothetical trade setup consists of long 1 x Micro Nikkei (USD) futures expiring in December and short 265 shares of WisdomTree Japan SmallCap Fund with a reward to risk ratio of 1.33x.

BTCUSDT long using proprietary multi-timeframe trend detectionBTC has maintained the H1 short term trend (13D EMA) throughout the tail end of the New York session, the entire Tokyo session and now the London session. For the coming hours it will be quite interesting to gauge wether we see a reclaim of 73000. This is a crucial psychological and once support is found there if reclaimed today, we'll likely find the spring to catapult us to a new all time high. Entry: 72528 SL: 71666 TP: 77777 Short term I'd like to see the H4 close back above 73.4k for relative confidence that this leg is well underway. Will look to move the SL into BE when that happens.

Will Intel play catch-up?CAPITALCOM:INTC has vastly underperformed its peers for a long time, but there might be signs the stock will start to move in the right direction. There has been a lot going on with the company this last week, maybe the chart will show some improvement. Price has broken resistance recently and closed above on Monday this week. It has since started building momentum, with indicators showing strength. MACD is rising, and On-balance-volume is confirming the uptrend. My first target would be for price to fill the gap created on Aug 2 when price dropped a whopping 25%. Once reached, we might see a slight pullback, however this should be temporary. Next speed bump might occur around $35.50 - $36.00 but that would be a 50% jump from the price today and will be more long term I believe, unless rumors of a takeover (or a massive investment) of the company becomes more solid. One more trigger one might want to wait for is the shorter EMA (i.e. 21) crossing the longer (i.e. 50).

What is Divergence?Divergence in trading occurs when the price of an asset moves in the opposite direction of a technical indicator. This mismatch indicates that the momentum behind the price action may be weakening, often suggesting a potential reversal. By learning to spot divergence, traders can anticipate market changes, either as a reversal in trend (regular divergence) or a trend continuation (hidden divergence). Types of Divergence Regular Divergence Hidden Divergence 1. Regular Divergence Regular divergence is a classic form that suggests a potential trend reversal. It happens when the price action and an oscillator (like RSI or MACD) display conflicting information, often indicating that the current trend may be losing strength. Types of Regular Divergence: Bullish Regular Divergence: Occurs when the price makes lower lows, but the indicator makes higher lows. This suggests a potential reversal to the upside as the selling momentum weakens. Bearish Regular Divergence: Occurs when the price makes higher highs, but the indicator forms lower highs. This indicates potential downside momentum, often preceding a downtrend. How to Identify Regular Divergence: Use an oscillator such as the RSI, MACD, or stochastic indicator. Look for situations where the price action forms new highs or lows, while the oscillator forms opposite lows or highs. Confirm the trend by observing the price trendlines to determine the type of regular divergence (bullish or bearish). Trading Regular Divergence: Bullish Regular Divergence: When you identify bullish regular divergence, consider entering a long position once the price shows signs of reversal, like a bullish engulfing candle or another bullish reversal pattern. Bearish Regular Divergence: For bearish regular divergence, a short position may be taken once you confirm a bearish reversal pattern, such as a bearish engulfing candle or shooting star formation. Example: If the price of a stock is making higher highs but the RSI is making lower highs, this is a bearish regular divergence. You could consider shorting the asset or closing long positions as a precaution, anticipating a potential trend reversal. 2. Hidden Divergence Hidden divergence indicates potential trend continuation. It suggests that although there may be a pullback, the primary trend will likely resume. Types of Hidden Divergence: Bullish Hidden Divergence: Occurs when the price forms higher lows, but the indicator makes lower lows. This pattern signals that the uptrend is likely to continue. Bearish Hidden Divergence: Occurs when the price makes lower highs, but the oscillator makes higher highs, indicating a potential continuation of a downtrend. How to Identify Hidden Divergence: Observe the trend direction of the price. Hidden divergence typically appears during pullbacks in a strong trend. Use the oscillator (RSI, MACD, etc.) and compare the highs and lows formed by both the price and indicator. Confirm the pattern: if the price and indicator form opposing highs or lows, it may indicate hidden divergence. Trading Hidden Divergence: Bullish Hidden Divergence: Enter a long position after identifying bullish hidden divergence, especially if the primary trend is upwards and the oscillator is showing a lower low. Bearish Hidden Divergence: A short position can be considered when bearish hidden divergence is identified, and the primary trend is downwards, with the oscillator showing a higher high. Example: Suppose an asset’s price makes higher lows in an uptrend, but the RSI makes lower lows. This indicates bullish hidden divergence, suggesting that the pullback might end, and the uptrend is likely to continue. Enter a long position, placing a stop loss below the recent swing low to manage risk. Indicators Used for Identifying Divergence Relative Strength Index (RSI): RSI measures the strength and speed of price movement, making it ideal for identifying overbought and oversold conditions. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): MACD tracks the difference between two moving averages of the price and can be used to detect shifts in momentum. Stochastic Oscillator: This oscillator helps detect potential turning points by comparing the closing price to the range over a set period. Each of these indicators helps identify divergence differently. For example: If RSI or Stochastic is diverging from price action, it may indicate that momentum is waning. MACD can be useful to spot both regular and hidden divergences, especially on larger timeframes. How to Trade Divergence Confirm Divergence: Use divergence to identify a potential reversal or continuation pattern, but confirm it with additional signals such as candlestick patterns or volume analysis. Set Entry Points: Wait for a price action signal (e.g., a candlestick pattern) in the direction indicated by the divergence. A bullish divergence might signal a buying opportunity after a bullish candlestick, while a bearish divergence could indicate a selling opportunity after a bearish pattern. Use Stop Loss Orders: Place a stop loss slightly below or above recent highs or lows to manage risk. For example, in bullish divergence, place a stop loss below the swing low to protect against downside risk. Set Profit Targets: Use support and resistance levels, Fibonacci retracement levels, or moving averages to set profit targets. Tips for Successful Divergence Trading Combine with Other Indicators: Use moving averages or trendlines to confirm the overall trend direction. Choose Longer Timeframes for Stronger Signals: Divergence on longer timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly) tends to produce stronger signals than shorter timeframes (e.g., 15-minute or hourly). Don’t Trade Divergence in Choppy Markets: Divergence is more effective in trending markets. Avoid using divergence in low-volume or range-bound conditions, as it could result in false signals. Stay Aware of False Signals: Not all divergences result in profitable trades. Always use risk management tools, such as stop losses and position sizing, to minimize potential losses.

Long swingI'm deploying a multi-timeframe approach here, focusing on a swing trade setup that aligns with both trend and momentum indicators. Here's the core of the strategy: Entry Criteria: I look to enter on a break above a recent higher high combined with a flat to rising 5-day moving average. Additionally, I’m observing the anchored VWAP from the most recent high (to the left on the chart); it should ideally be flat or rising to confirm sustained interest. Volume and Price Requirements: Only trading stocks with at least 300,000 shares in daily volume and a price above $3, ensuring liquidity and relevance for momentum. Trend Confirmation: On the daily timeframe, the stock must be making higher highs and fall within an early Stage 2 uptrend based on Stage Analysis, indicating the start of an uptrend. Stop Loss: My stop is set just below a recent significant low (higher low) on the 30-minute chart to keep risk in check. If this low is penetrated before entry, I cancel the trade to avoid premature breakdowns.

BTCUSDT Golden Cross Signals Strong BullishBINANCE:BTCUSDT daily chart shows a Golden Cross, a pattern that has historically been a strong indicator of bullish momentum. A Golden Cross occurs when the 50-day moving average (MA 50, in purple) crosses above the 200-day moving average (MA 200, in blue). This crossover is generally viewed as a signal of a long-term trend reversal, suggesting that bullish momentum is building. Whenever this crossover has occurred in the past, Bitcoin has experienced substantial upward price movement in the following months. Currently, CRYPTOCAP:BTC has broken through broadening wedge resistance levels on the daily chart and is trading near $71,000. This price action aligns with the Golden Cross, reinforcing the potential for a continued bullish move. With BTC consolidating above key levels, a breakout above $70K could trigger further buying interest and sustain the uptrend. If BTC can hold its position above the 200-day MA and breakthrough additional key resistance levels, the price could continue to climb. Potential targets range from 100-200% gains from this level, similar to past Golden Cross rallies. Regards Hexa

$SPY October 29, 2024AMEX:SPY October 29, 2024 15 Minutes For the fall 586.12 to 574.41 AMEX:SPY retraced 78%. Hence, I expect only a double bottom for this move. For the rise 574.41 to 584.46 AMEX:SPY retraced 61.8%. So, holding 576 uptrends to continue. In 60 minutes 575-576 is 200 averages. So, the shorts initiated yesterday will be covered at 579. If I get a lower. I am lucky. SL at 582 for a zero trade. At the moment I expect 579 or 575 to provide a good support. Long is still above 585 only. I am usually negative bias as long as AMEX:SPY is below moving averages especially 200 or 100 in 15 minutes.
