This ETF will predict the 2022 recession.Looking at the graph, we can see a very high-quality inverted head and shoulders pattern, because the second top made a way higher top than the first top. To add to that, the volume is decreasing rapidly, meaning we are very near the next bottom. This would be definitive for the ETF, because if this ETF increases in price, than the house prices would drop. This would cause a chain reaction, leading to a recession. That is why, on my last study, I said that the 2022 recession is closer than we think it is. A crisis is imminent, so be ready.

SPY is overextended again Spy is above the channel, I simply don't believe it is BTC time YET. Remember YET. We could be facing a pump then dump then takeoff from 19k BTC. But with all this negative talk about China's entire economy about to fail because of the real estate overbet, there's no way USA stocks don't face that value effect. China and Russia look like idiots. I expect some turmoil. Patience is key.
Inflation Update. Possible first wave?CPI-U is reported at 8.5%.
The alternate CPI-U from 1990 has inflation around 12%.
The alternate CPI-U 1980 has inflation around 16.5%.
This has triggered the markets sentiment that inflation is over to go hog wild on it's Goldilocks targets and head higher on the SPX.
To bring inflation down to the target of the FED now becomes the discussion. The market is seeking the fastest way to get the tightening cycle to stop. Like an addict searching for their next hit the question is how thick will the sugar coating get before the sun rays from the new recession and its implications dissolve the deep snow pack. Boy is it a blizzard coming down.
The two paths from here are #1 does the market whine that inflation is coming down fast enough now so the FED over did it tightening rates and this recession is bad so please print me some dopamine. Or #2 is inflation going to come down fast enough for growth to bottom out and rebound higher so the FED can stop and print me some dopamine to stimulate the bottom of the trend to have the downturn be as short as possible.
Either way the next 6 months will be the market trying to cajole the FED into please print some more money.
The wider trend after that is the classic hyperinflation trend. A small inflation wave that wakes up the public to inflation. Followed by a small deflation wave to catch market participants off guard and make money. Followed by an over correction and printing of currency resulting in a bigger second inflation wave. Followed by a second larger deflation wave with further over correction and printing. Finally causing a rollercoaster crash into hyperinflation where inflation jumps from 20% to 700% in a month. This takes years to play out and is by no means guaranteed but definitely a model to keep in mind.
If such a rollercoaster crash plays out hard assets are the name of the long game while volatile assets are the name of the short game. Real estate, and gold, with Bitcoin and ETH as insurance purchased at the bottom of deflation waves just as the FED pivots. Short term moves into and out of energy and food commodities for 3-6 month positions during inflation waves depending on market information.
Stay safe out there. See you on the moon.
Chinese Real Estate -8% TodayJust FYI, an equally price-weighted basket of large Chinese real estate companies is down 8% today. Rumor is going around lots of companies in this sector are not paying interest payments and are on the verge of default. Maybe it could spill over into global markets? Dare I say it could be an outbreak in the market flu?
These companies are much larger than Enron. Evergrande (HKEX:3333) by itself has 120,000 employees, about 6 times as many as Enron had. Maybe something to think about.
Here is the symbol if you want to view it yourself:
'1918'/2.912+'0960'/2.862+'2202'/2.623+'2777'/1.112+'3333'/1.527+'2007'
I hope this was somehow useful. Good luck and don't forget to hedge your bets!
Timing The Housing Market, Patterns Always (Win / Win Strategy)For over 2 years we've heavily referenced the NAIL ETF ( Provided by Direxion ) to get a better sense of the overall housing market. As a measure of context, our experience / trading background included heavy exposure in supporting MBS (Mortgage Backed Securities) and ABS (Asset Backed Securities) reference data providers. This is in no-way investment advice.
Needless to say, that with the right view, this particular security has been a pretty strong indicator on how the general housing and construction market will perform both in the short and long term.
One question that we are constantly asked, is whether the support price has already been reached. Well, historically speaking the support price hovers around US$20 and then bounces to over US$95. As part of our general methodology, we focus on generating a high volume of trades with automation, this allows for compounded returns (huge fan of pyramiding). So, buying at the support price, could well be one long-term strategy once the price reaches the US$20 support (if one can manage the stress associated with short-term risk), should the price drop even further one could increase the position to average down for a more preferable price.
On the other hand, we recommend that traders consider using two timeframes of reference for a guide on support and resistance levels. As an example, one could look at the long-term trend with 2–4-hour candlesticks across a large volume of ticks and then move to a shorter time-frame (such as the 15-minute candles) once a direction is established, to focus on directionally advantageous positions (either bullish or bearish outlook). This allows a swing-trader to remain in a position during times of volatility with a strong resolve based on back-tests that the future outcome will have some predictability.
The reason for this post is that we find that many "newly minted" retail swing-traders are focused on the short-term gain and tend to have stop-losses triggered fairly quickly. If one where to consider the approach above, a more loosely defined (%) stop-limit would allow for improved returns contingent on one using the long-term outlook as a guide.
Final Thoughts
Regardless of your strategy, we recommend one always trades with stop-limits and profit targets (this can be established with the tradingview strategy-tester), and more importantly focus on consistency. There is no such thing as a silver bullet, but historical trends on etfs certainly do help with timing.
$REK Volume & Upside Potential As the economic outlook degrades in the face of persistent and widespread inflation and GDP projection revision for Q1 was worse than expected, real estate will take a hit. Currently seeing record prices while the beginning of rate hikes and slowing sales appears.
A short opportunity exists and is currently reflected in a massive volume uptick in anticipation of a significant market correction appears imminent in the Dow Jones Real Estate Index.
Near-term ~20% to 25% price target with a substantive longer-term potential quite a bit higher if the macroenvironment doesn't turn around and the economic headwinds don't soften.
This is an inverse short play, so market retraction provides impetus to long $REK.
$XLRE ~ Expect correction to continue on the downside...As shown, real estate sector is in correction mode. Housing prices are at crazy prices and now 30 year mortgage rates are still climbing. Today the average was reported over 6.25%. Would expect these rates to continue on the upside while housing prices moderate.
Real Estate Assets Could Fall 30% or more - are you preparedThe excesses of the past 8+ years have driven RE prices to very high levels. Simple price channels and Standard Deviation channels suggest the unwinding of this bubble may see Real Estate price levels collapse -25% to -30% or more over the next 12+ months.
The US Fed, in an effort to combat inflation, will likely raise rates again - pushing sellers even further into an effort to DUMP assets before buyers are able to react to the shifting market climate.
My interpretation of what is happening is consumers are pulling away from making big purchases as global assets bubbles are unwinding. The US asset bubbles have just started this process - unlike China and other areas. I see the Fed bursting another RE bubble and sending price levels far lower.
Get ready, the fun is just starting (again).
Monthly Bearish Divergence Breaking Demand LineWe have a Potential Double Top inside of a Rising Wedge Pattern on the Monthly with Bearish Divergence and very little support below us.
Silver versus Real EstatePotential relationship between real estate (using VNQ etf as a proxy) and silver. I drew this several months ago and so far the arc and channel have held. I've heard of the 18 year RE cycle but wonder if that's only valid during a prolonged bull market. I expect at least a 10 year bear market in the SPX to begin in the next few years after a final top is made. Will that 18 year cycle get affected as well?
In 1980 one could buy a median sized home for approx 1272 ounces. Then in 2011 it took 4647 ounces. How many ounces will one need at the next cycle high for silver expected this decade vs home price?

Excellent results of the companies across the whole AvH group support this impressive result, which also surpasses that of pre-COVID year 2019 (despite the substantial capital gains realised in that year).

$X : Is Steel Ready For a Fall or Breakup?It appears Steel has reached an area of overhead resistance and at a quick glance one may assume it's ready for a break after temporary sector distortions due to covid and supply issues that plagued many sectors. We also know there are pressures from "cost inflation" as well that plague mines, as well as builders but it seems too early to tell if price will turn around and head down, fairly, quickly, or will these pressures in supply force prices upward.
It's also been suggested there is enough supply overhead despite, "sheet mills in North America relying heavily on the low phosphorus pig iron from Ukraine and Russia", according to industry publication the Steel Market Update. Russia and Ukraine’s pig iron supplies account for 60% of US imports.
Prices for steel have been falling since the fourth quarter of last year as supply exceeded demand, according to Axel Eggert from the European Steel Association. If supply exceeds demand, it's a no-brainer, however, there's this below:
“Ongoing supply chain disruptions, skyrocketing energy and carbon prices, as well as persisting inflation are putting the recovery of the steel sector at risk. Combined with the current EU climate and energy policies, these are the ingredients of a dangerous cocktail that may drive Europe into a structural crisis and industry out of Europe."
There's a push and pull of we have enough vs we won't have enough because of a, b and c. It's too early to tell. Need to just watch price as that will be the canary in the coal mine. :)
Real estate topping? Price to fall to mid-30s to low 40s?While everyone is bullish real estate, the chart says price is likely to turn bearish.
As you can see from the chart, we just retested and rejected a long term bullish trendline, and now with that rejection, it sets up the chance for price to fall much lower from here.
The first supports are in the low 40s, and if we end up breaking that, we'll likely fall to the 50% retracement region in the mid to upper 30s.
Let's see what happens over the coming weeks/months.
