#SPX500 8.5 YEAR EXPANDING FLATThe market moves in waves and patterns. This is a macro expanding flat on the #SPX500 that corrected for 8.5 years!
During the A and C wave of the expanding flat, there were so called "recessions", the 2002 and 2008 recessions.
Or were they just A and C waves of a macro expanding flat?
It is interesting how the patterns a chart makes predicts the future of reality on a macro level.
The rules for an expanding flat is that the top of the B wave pops above the top of the preceding impulse and the bottom of the C wave pops below the low of the A wave.
It is at that moment you can start to look for buys for an expanding flat and hold on to an extension of the impulse!
Recession
Major Recession on the Basis of Yield CurveThe US Treasury Yield Curve is currently inverted, meaning short term interest rates higher than long term interest rates.
This unusual occurrence, called a yield curve inversion, has historically been a very reliable indicator of an upcoming economic recession.
Since World War II every yield curve inversion has been followed by a recession in the following 6-18 months, and recessions are naturally correlated with decreased stock market returns.
The yield curve has not been this lowin over 40 years.
The yield curve indicator is always followed by a major drop.
Triggering of the yield curve indicator also (ALWAYS) lags the yield curve inversion.
In other words, the yield curve inversion must return positive before the indicator triggers.
This is due to the lagging effects of interests rates on the economy.
That being said, since the yield curve is currently severely low, we can expect (another) yield curve indicator to be triggered later.
Once it is triggered, I expect a long-term decline of the markets.
Based on historical data, the decline will last several months, if not years.
Best of luck (not financial advice).
NAS100 | RECESSION |DECRYPTERSHi Welcome to Team Decrypters
The Chart Aligns completely with "FAMOUS Wall street cheat sheet"
What Features coincides with charts ??
1-It give a proper DIP
2-A HUGE MULTI Y ear Rally
3 -Covid Crash Dip
4-Top Blow
5- Creating low and than Lower LOW
6-Multi months consolidations ( with in a continuation Pattern)
Lastly , Using Pure Technical niche we get Target :- "HEIGHT of Flag" = "Target of Flag"
Surprisingly That Target is Exactly on the top of COVID PEAK
Which further Aligns with FED PRINTING OF MONEY , So FED need to Fill that GAP
For example:- if you input 100kW of Energy and The out put will be Same 100KW ( in Other form)
The printed Money should Be Reversed in Same Way
Fundamental Reason :- We think if Recession comes which will make $$$$ TO RALLY ABOUT 8% -12 %
Fed Agree with recession Also they need Strong $$ to crush economy , making consumer confidence Down and thus making consumer spending Down as well
"CAUSING STOCK MARKET CRASH "
NOTE :- THIS MULTI MONTHS PLAN ONLY USED BE USED AS A "QUARTERLY BIAS"
S&P EMAs at Historical Critical PointCME_MINI:ES1!
So I opened the chart at the weekend and flicked through the time frames and upon punching the Weekly I noticed the 21EMA and the 89EMAs were pretty tight. I decided the rest of the morning looking through the historical relationship of these two EMAs. It turns out that each time the 21EMA has come down to the 89EMA, there has been a violent reaction. In general, when there are moderate to minimal macros effecting the markets, this reaction represents a strong opportunity to long. In fact, the 21EMA has never dipped below the 89EMA and recovered until months to years later. On the flip side, on the two occasions the 21EMA did dip below the 89EMA, was in 2001 and 2008...two very significant moments in market history.
I also noted that once the break happens the S&P tends to bottom at around 40%-50% of that breaking point. If we were to use today's valuation, a 45% drop from today is around 2200. That is also the bottom of the COVID crash i.e. where the real market was going to be trading before infinite stimulus was provided by the Fed.
I found this interesting as it seems in these troubling times and with a 'nuclear winter' around the corner in Europe, there is a real macro concern for markets. I'm leaning bearish and I think this rally will fail like every rally this year and lead the 21EMA below the 89EMA. Obviously, I react to the chart and should there be a strong reaction off the touch upwards, I will be flipping bullish.
US30 POSSIBLE PEAK…I do believe this could be an opportunity for a long term sell.
I will elaborate more later. I’d like to submit in the meantime..
This is not advice.
$VIX breaking a bit, showing Positive Divergence - Sold puts MayAs an FYI we're still cautious bull. We did initiate a CBOE:VIX position, by selling puts, as small hedge.
We've made clear what the targets on indices were, still think they can be hit.
TVC:DJI - 34250 - Major Resistance
NASDAQ:NDX - 13400 - Fib level
SP:SPX - Major resistance - 4181
But keep in mind;
IMF warning global debt levels = DANGEROUS
#Fed states > #recession coming
XAUUSD | GOLD | DECRYPTERS | Hi welcome to Decrypters
we are soon expecting Reversal Based on other factors
5th Wave completion should be Be Near ( 2070 -2100)
NOTE :- 1 Thing you must note ALGOS will triggered if price cross 2100$ level and There is a fundamental reason to move price more high
WHYY? Mostly Assets are bought at DISCOUNT , But some times ( rarely ) it can bought into premium
i ll also be shocked if it happens TBH
Rhyming Recessions
The old saying goes that history may not repeat but sure can rhyme. The talks and fear of recession looms and many of its effects can already be seen in the markets and greater economic world. These charts compare the leading events to the last great recession in 2008. Both charts have had round off top which led to a correction. This was followed by bounce, which may explain the recent pump in traditional markets. If this is the bull trap, then the 100WMA may be a key indicator as to when prices may hit resistance and capitulate. I found that percentage drop and increase in recent prices very similar leading towards the 08 crash. Also, price found support on the 1500WMA after correcting over 53% from the 100WMA. Perhaps leading into the later stages of this year employment rates would be another key indicator to keep track off, as if this declines it would probably end the year in a recession. Interesting to note also is that BTC and NASDAQ is also reaching its 100WMA and any rejection seen on them may ripple and affect markets.
LEI clear Recession warning: What it means for Bitcoin?The LEI (Leading Economic Indicators) has a great track record of predicting recessions. While a recession has been much anticipated for many months... now the data is coming in to actually support the possibility.
What does this mean for Bitcoin? The two most important data points we have (because we don't actually have a major recession to draw upon in Bitcoin's lifetime) is the COVID crash and March 9th this year... the "banking crisis" FUD.
When COVID fears hit the markets Bitcoin responded like a risk asset. It lost over -60% of its USD value from the high of 2020 to that point.
As the "Banking Crisis" hit markets last month so too did Bitcoin fall over -20%.
What this suggests is that when recession fears grow and become realized... Bitcoin will drop as a risk asset. The future of it though (in both cases) is V-shaped. So fear not. But also ignore not. Be thinking about buying opportunities.
BTC: CONFUSING?BINANCE:BTCUSDT weekly: I personally don't feel good about recent 30k BITSTAMP:BTCUSD , I am still expecting bears to liquidate longs on a fakeout above 30k.
Recession fear is the main theme for this.
If weekly candle closes above 30k then this becomes invalidated, looking for a pullback to ride the confirmed bull market.
Once we get a long/short confirmation will update you here.
VIX: VOLATILITY CYCLES / COMPRESSION / DIVERGENCE / PUTOVERCALLDESCRIPTION: In the chart above I have included an update on a MACRO analysis of VIX VOLATILITY CYCLES. The creation of a set of new cycles is marked when VIX finds a new floor of support.
POINTS:
1. Deviations have been adequately adjusted for VIX with a 7 Point difference between CHANNELS.
2. Price Action is currently resting at NEW FLOOR of 19 & Price Action is consolidating.
3. 5 YEAR TREND LINE IS APPROACHING MONTHLY PRICE ACTION FLOOR.
3. NO RECESSION AFTER 1998 HAS EVER COME TO AN END WITHOUT VIX FIRST SPIKING TO 40 OR 45 AT LEAST.
RSI: There is in fact a lot to be said for RSI as it rests roughly below the 50 Point average which would signal that RSI is set to flip into Oversold territory. RSI must reach the 30 Point average in the coming weeks or anything above the 30 Point average & rising could signal a divergence occurring between ascending RSI LEVELS & CONSOLIDATING PRICE ACTION WHICH CAN MAKE FOR SOME VIOLENT VOLATILITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
MACD: As of now MACD is resting at an average oversold level of -2.0 but is signaling a move to the upside in coming weeks.
MAIN POINTS OF CONTROL:
1. RSI DIVERENCE OCCURS AS RSI RISES & PRICE ACTION CONSOLIDATES.
2. MACD FLIPS INTO POSITIVE TERRITORY.
3. A BREAK OF 21 POINTS FOR PRICE ACTION CAN BE INDICATIVE OF FURTHER UPSIDE FOR VIX IN THIS SCENARIO.

The S&P 500 BottomTop of mind for investors and traders right now is whether or not the S&P 500 has reached its bottom. While this is an impossible question to answer and depends on which timeframe one is looking for a bottom, I will attempt to provide an general analysis below.
First, the chart above is a quarterly chart (each candle represents a 3-month period) of the S&P 500. The pink line and shaded area represent periods of U.S. recessions as designated by data published by the Federal Reserve. The white line is the 20-period moving average.
The 20-period moving average is the most commonly used reference point for the mean (average) price of the time period being analyzed. The 20-period moving average is also the mean of the Bollinger Bands, which are used to detect how over- or under-extended price is relative to its mean.
GDP data suggest that we were technically in a recession in the first half of 2022. In the past 50 years, every recession has seen the S&P 500 revert down to its mean on the quarterly chart. Even the mild recession in the early 1990s, which hardly anyone remembers today, nearly tagged the mean. In fact, most recessions saw further downside movement. During the Dotcom Bust and the Great Recession the S&P 500 declined all the way to the lower Bollinger Band on the quarterly chart (as shown below).
The current stagflationary period (where inflation is elevated and economic growth is low) is most similar to the stagflationary period of the 1970s. During this period, we had a series of intermittent recessions and a relatively flat stock market over a period of about a decade. As you can see in the chart below, during each recession, the S&P 500 bottomed at either the mean of the Bollinger Band or down at the lower band (on the quarterly chart).
It was not until Paul Volcker sent interest rates to the moon that inflation finally ended in the early 1980s. Every yearly chart I've analyzed suggests we have entered into a period of stagflation and we will likely see higher inflation, higher unemployment, higher interest rates, and intermittent recessions for years to come. This is happening while the yearly S&P 500 Stochastic RSI oscillator is trending down sharply following more than a decade of rapid stock market expansion.
So far as of writing, we have not reached the S&P 500 mean on the quarterly chart. There is an overwhelming likelihood that, at some point in the future, we will. Nonetheless, traders ought not to base their trades on slowly moving yearly charts, as even in a prolonged downturn there can be lucrative intermediate-term long opportunities. Indeed, the quarterly mean (20-period moving average) moves up over time, and when we do revert down to it, that price may be higher than the current price.
Here are some other arguments for why we may have seen an intermediate-term bottom of the S&P 500 --
First, seasonality: As you can see in the seasonality chart below, the month of June often puts in the low for the year, which is sometimes retested in the August through October period (highlighted in yellow).
Second, Fibonacci levels: As you can see, June's price action bounced off an important Fibonacci level.
Price is also technically being supported on the third Fibonacci spiral from the Great Depression high as shown below (though this is precarious when viewed on the yearly timeframe).
Third, the intermediate term oscillators are starting to create a bias of momentum to the upside as shown in the chart below.
Fourth, the chart of the ticker S5TH is breaking out. The S5TH ticker simply represents the number of stocks in the S&P 500 that are above their 200 day moving average. This is extraordinarily bullish and a warning signal to those holding short positions.
Fifth, there has been a clear bullish breakout of the Advance Decline Line (ADL), as shown in the chart below. The advance-decline line is a technical indicator that plots the difference between the number of advancing and declining stocks on a daily basis. The advance-decline line is used to show market sentiment, as it tells traders whether there are more stocks rising or falling. Right now it is signaling a bullish reversal.
There are other bullish signals occurring as well, such as improving sentiment in the Put-Call Ratio and in the Fear-Greed Index.
Although all of these indicators are turning bullish. We still need to see the VIX break down below its trend line and the dollar index (DXY) to start declining, the latter of which will likely happen.
About a month ago, I questioned whether the DXY would top at its Fibonacci level, and indeed it formed an upper wick and came right back down to this level before the close of July, forming a bearish inverted hammer. There were many dollar index bulls who thought at the time that I was being ridiculous, but the charts were showing clear bearish divergence and there was very little chance that the dollar index (DXY) would blast past this important Fibonacci level while being so over-extended. I ignore all noise in the market and focus solely on what chart is saying. Charts are mathematical, statistical, and predictable. Charts also do not lie.
While anything can happen, it's quite certain that the coming months and years will be quite a roller coaster. There are very few people who are prepared for the magnitude of stock market decline that could happen now that unlimited quantitative easing is no longer sustainable.
I'll be posting updates along the way.
Look first, then leap!

US30 - and WORLD STOCK MARKETS - for the year 2023
In August 2022, The world's stock markets had fallen by more than 25%.many were chanting the word 'recession'. At that time, a forecast was made by me ALHAMDULILLAH that there would not be a recession, but rather a relief rally would occur in all the world's stock markets. Subsequently, the world market gained more than 20% on average. In the last six months, the world markets have taken a breather. However, in the next two to three months, the previous trend that began after the Russia-Ukraine war and resulted in a meltdown in the world markets due to inflation is expected to continue. As an example, I have only shared a chart of the US30, which I believe will reach the 27k level in the next few months, currently standing at 33k

Will The U.S Dollar Collapse ?OANDA:XAUUSD
Currencies fall for various reasons and they include:
1. Political or economic disorder
2. Hyperinflation
3. War
4. A labor market decline
5. Recession, among various other reasons.
1.The United States has weathered several political and economic disorders since its formation in 1776. The country was on the brink of collapse during the Great Depression in 1929 but successfully weathered the storm in 1939. Not only did it withstand the Great Depression, but it also fought World War II with valor the same year. The will to overcome all odds is in the blood of Americans come hell or high water. Therefore, the US has more chances to overcome political or economic disorder due to this very spirit.
2 Hyperinflation
Inflation in the US is high but has not reached hyperinflation yet. The Federal Reserve managed to bring down rates from 8% to 6.5% and are rowing the boat, despite muddy waters. Hyperinflation taking over the country with daily essentials becoming 50 times more expensive might never be a reality.
3. War
The US is technically not at war but funds wars overseas, be it Ukraine, Syria, and Yemen, among other countries. A rogue nation attacking the US since 9/11 is nil, and the country is not at war today. The US is more equipped to handle and thwart terrorist attacks today than it was ever before.
4. Labor Market Decline
The job markets remain robust despite several leading tech firms firing thousands of employees since 2020. Businesses are thriving, and jobs for small and big-level employees remain open for hire. Though the job markets remain on shaky grounds, it managed to sustain and grow, even in muddy conditions.
5. Recession
While talks of a recession are growing louder, a recession has technically not hit the markets yet. Both the stock and cryptocurrency markets are doing favorably well in 2023 and generating decent returns for investors. However, a recession cannot be ruled out, as there’s pressure on the financial markets.
Considering all the above points, the US stands in a favorable position with the only recession being its weak point. Moreover, since a recession is yet to arrive (or might not arrive), the weak point can be removed for now. In conclusion, the other sore spots can be worked upon and brought under control in the coming years.
So Will The US Dollar Collapse?
BRICS is yet to finalize a new currency in the upcoming summit in South Africa. The problem with BRICS nations is that decisions are not made swiftly and quickly due to various factors. Asian countries working with each other is not as easy as said.
The factors involve India’s broken relations with China and vice-versa. India and China have always been on the wrong ends, and the bitter political disputes could only make things worse.
Technically, the US dollar is backed as the default global reserve currency with billions worth of trades being executed each day. The US dollar has a special status globally and is considered one of the safest currencies. The United States is still the biggest economy in the world with an annual GDP of around $23 trillion.
Even if the US falters, it always has and will find a way to remain at the top and be an undisputed global leader. The Great Depression is one big example of how nothing is impossible for Americans to succeed in troubled times.
$NVDA AccumulationOne of the industries I'm looking to accumulate heavily in the bear market is AI and Tech. Nvidia is a leader of it's field and will be one of the main companies that rises from the ashes better and stronger. Nvidia went on a crazy run 6 years going from around 7USD to 300.
It's now down 50% from its ATH and like most stocks, I expect them to keep bleeding through 2023 and 2024. I'm a buyer below 100USD laddering down to 40USD-50USD.
I expect this stock to perform very well over the next decade.
Gold BULLionGold flipped the previous resistance as support and now broke out of a channel. With the economy in dire straits, cash money looking rather unattractive and stocks overvalued I expect a strong move on gold in the following years.
Chart isn't overly analytical. Just a rough idea based on past performance.
What to watch in Q21. Any more bank failure?
Bank crisis stabilized after UBS takeover Credit Suisse and First Republic Bank had been injected deposit to restore confidence. We can’t rule out any bank failure in Q2, especially the collapse of Lehman Brother was after the rescue of Bear Stearns. Having said that, the material different between now and the global financial crisis is the asset quality, that the subprime loan is basically at default while the long-term treasury and MBS many banks are holding now can recoup the floating loss if they can be held until maturity. Situation will improve with time. The drop of treasury yield because of risk aversion is also a self-cure mechanism that reduce the floating loss, and lower depositor’s incentive to move money out from banking system. Therefore, the level of Treasure yield is an important factor to determine whether a bank run might occur again, since higher yield means bigger deposit outflow to seek better yield return and a bigger loss of bank asset. The resurge of yield will worsen the sentiment and dampen confidence. Another good indictor is the size of emergency funding facilitates that Fed is providing to banks. If there is a sudden increase on the size, this could imply there might be another bank in trouble.
2. How lending be impacted after the bank crisis?
Although Fed set the policy rate, it is the Bank to lend money in a rate they desire to the business and individual. In order to improve and avoid further deterioration of asset quality, Bank might take a more conversative approach in lending. The outflow of deposit also reduced Bank’s ability and willingness to lend. Since FDIC is asking Banks to pay the bill for saving SVC and Signature Bank, together with US government is seeking a tighter regulation for banking sector and many bank need to increase deposit rate to keep deposit, higher capital/operating cost might make Bank more selective and ask for higher lending rate to compensate the cost, that is not good for the whole economy.
3. Inflation trend?
Even OPEC+ surprised the market by cutting production that boost price, Energy should still strongly pressure headline inflation downward in Q2, especially on a YOY basis. NYMEX WTI crude oil above $100 most of the time in Q2 2022 and reached $123. Compare to current energy price, there will be an obvious negative impact in headline inflation. The delayed effect of lower property price and rent should also drive the inflation lower. We have seen some signs of lower service inflation, and if banking crisis harm business confidence, we might see a less tight employment market and a less wages growth. Despite OPEC+ action might make thing a little bit complicated, we might still see some decent drop in inflation in Q2.
4. Fed to end hiking cycle after May’s meeting?
May could be the last hike in this cycle. As mentioned, the inflation is cooling down and bank crisis will hurt the economy. Fed will also avoid hiking rate too much that will drive the Treasury yield up that might refuel the bank crisis. February Core PCE is trending lower, so as long as inflation doesn’t accelerate, a full stop of hiking cycle after May’s meeting will be a reasonable bet.
5. Recession possibility?
Inverted yield curve and ISM survey pointed to recession. Q2 could be the turning point of economy growth and we might see some slowdown. Recession has become base case scenario to many investors and they will allocate their asset and conduct trading strategy accordingly. If inflation under control and GDP growth, probably in Q3, recorded a deeper-than-expected negative growth, Fed might start easing by the end of this year.
6. End of War?
Russia-Ukraine war could enter the decisive phase in Q2 when Ukraine could launch the counter attack in Spring. It is very hard to predict the outcome but assuming Russia lost the war, the geopolitical ecosystem might be rewritten as well as the regime. How ally of Russia react is also highly unpredictable.
With interest rate hike cycle coming to the end, there might be more rooms for Treasury yield to go lower. This will benefit growth stock so Nasdaq might outperform Dow again, adding to the gap built in Q1. Recession fears is not friendly to most of the commodities (except gold), and any big change on War might mean a lot to many cyclical commodities such as oil, natural gas, nickel and more.
Good Luck and Good Trading in Q2.

S&P 500| SHORT INCOMING | DECRYPTERS Hi people welcome to Team Decrypters
POTENTIAL SHORT SETUP
We Expecting short term Retracement At least ( orange path)
Long term Target ( yellow path could be followed )
FED has cleared they will Keep Rate hikes ELEVATED for long time , Markets are pricing in Future Rate cuts
i don't think there will be ANY RATE CUTS ,probably 1 more Rate hike and than pause and than keep the RATE HIKES Stay There.
People will Start to spend Less
This will Surely cause RECESSIONARY ENVIOREMENT
Which will cause Earnings to DROPS , Meaning Companies EVALUATION will DROP
Markets Can even CRASH IN MY OPINION ( circumstances can change later but for not it SEEMS)
NOTE :- NASDAQ PREVIOUS CHART linked so in short Nasdaq will Follow S&P 500 Same things Apply for NASDAQ
