This was just the start. XAUUSD could hit 950When i look at 12-month chart and use stochastic. I see pretty nicely formed bearish divergence. XAUUSD could hit 1381 or even worst 950. So, I'd recommend you to sell literally every securities that you hold because probably 2 years later could even worst than today. Gold is considered as a safe-haven assets, but if this assets is going down it means financial and economic world could easily collapse. It means lord R want to take his profits, so hopefully you understand what i mean.
I predicted by the end of 2022 or around early 2023 (in feb or mar), the collapse will begin. This santa claus rally would not as happy as in 2019. There will be so much pain, much more business collapsing, and unemployment rate will rise.
To overcome this i suggest to all of you who see this post idea, as an opportunity to shorting gold and avoid long term long position until mid of 2024 or at least when the stochastic is reversed in a long position again.
I remember when Michael Burry told his twitter follower that there is bubble in everything, then i immediately look at the chart and his insight was completely correct, everything is starting to reverse. And months ago, it did happens. I also remember that JP Morgan said billionaire use astrology to trade..i mean who tf this billionaire if he himself wasn't even a billionaire? I have a solid proof that it was lord R.
So because of that, i use that astrology understanding to predict when the market reverse and the use of Fibonacci to know where the price will stop.

BTC SHORT 16K BY ELECTION TIME NOV.2022THE SELL IS IN. We cannot get a solid close over 24.6k to push for a 30k test which alludes me to a dive down to the impulse at 15-17K.
The interest rate hikes in the past 6 months have just been another driver in KILLING the price of BTC and majority of cryptos. The banks are broke and are liquidating their initial positions for a possible lower buy in.
The US gov is also looking for crypto regulation which would further dampen the price as this is not what crypto was created for. They will speak towards this in the NOV elections as well. The US GOV wants to us USDC/ USDT
We tested 20K today 9/27/22 but it could not hold over.
BTC wants low LOW. It is in the bottom depths of consolidation towards a cheaper price.
19K flat is a safe buy in zone but you can look for a high 19.5K test to enter. This will not be a fluid drop but a choppy drop.
Anything lower than 16K = 12K SOS
SL: 20.1K
TP: 16K
RR: 1:2.5

Catalysts for The Global Financial Crisis 2.0The current level of euphoria and speculation on Wall Street is likely to go down in history in the same way that the misplaced optimism of speculators in 1929 was immortalized by the tremendous crash and ensuing depression. The current dynamics at play are more similar to that period than most realize.
Many potential catalysts for the Global Financial Crisis 2.0 are beginning to rear their heads, including things such as:
-The auto loan bubble
-The residential & commercial real estate bubble
-The private equity and venture capital bubble
-The largest losses in the total bond market in generations
-Highest level of Federal Debt to GDP in US history and extremely high level of consumer & corporate debt in US history
-The most overvalued market based on forward earnings in history (Based on my expectations of S&P 2023 earnings will fall below 140). Peak margins above -13% coming back under 10% will also help to drive this.
-The fastest pace of interest rate hikes since Paul Volcker and $90 billion of quantitative tightening per month.
-The crypto bubble implosion where many exchanges are likely to fail due to their ponzi-like staking dynamics and unprofitable nature of exchanges like Coinbase. We are starting to see the beginnings of the financial contagion from FTX into other exchanges and coins. This is happening in an industry valued at over $3 trillion at its peak.
-The Chinese real estate crisis and recession
-The energy crisis which has curtailed over 20% of EU industrial capacity and is sending Europe into a recession. This is leading to increased energy costs around the world.
-Looming sovereign debt crises & currency crises for many emerging and certain developed economies.
The $1.6 trillion auto loan bubble is reminiscent of the subprime lending bubble. There were incredibly loose lending standards in this auto loan bubble, where people that received federal stimulus checks were able to claim these as income. This entitled them to larger sized loans than they would have otherwise had access too. Many of these loans were made at over 130% loan to value ratio. These loans have been packaged up as bonds and sold off to investors hungry in search for yield in a world of artificially low interest rates, suppressed by the Fed for the better part of 14 years since the Global Financial Crisis. The amount of delinquent auto loans has continued to increase, and the looming crisis represents a huge threat to financial stability. As real wages and employment continue to fall, the amount of delinquent loans will continue to rise.
Earnings for the S&P 500 in Q3 have already started to contract more than 5% year over year (excluding energy) and yet many analysts still expect some, to no growth of earnings in 2023. Earnings are likely to collapse over 40% in 2023, pressured by falling consumer demand and falling operating margins. Consumer sentiment registered the worst sentiment among US consumers since the great depression.
All of the Fed manufacturing and service data components show comparable data now to data being released in mid 2008 to the spring of 2009, all with continuously negative trends. Capital expenditures have begun decreasing and mass layoffs are just beginning. 37% of US small businesses could not pay their rent in full in October. Many companies will be forced to close their doors permanently and layoff their entire staff. Consumption began to fall rapidly after the Fed began quantitative tightening and ended quantitative easing. The effects finally began hitting company earnings largely in Q3, with much more pain to follow. Meanwhile, many companies continued to hire large amounts of people unaware that consumption would continue to collapse. As asset prices fall further and inflation stays elevated, real wages will continue falling.
Student loan payments begin again at the start of 2023, further harming consumer sentiment.
Money supply growth began stagnating early in the year in 1929 and the federal government began to tighten spending with the New Deal programs in 1936 before the crash happened in 1937. Bank balance sheets have been flat for 2022 while the central bank balance sheet has been contracting leading to a slight contraction in the money supply. The contracting growth of monetary supply and fast paced increases in interest rates will lead to a large-scale downturn in GDP. On a technical basis, the current market setup looks very similar to 1929, 1937, 1973-1974, 1987, and 2008. All of which had major rallies that topped in late summer / fall before crashing over 30%. All of these crashes took place over the span of less than 3 months, with the majority of the percentage decline occurring over a period of 2-3 weeks.
There are dozens of companies that are virtually guaranteed to go bust in this downturn based on an overview of their financials. There have never been so many listed companies that reached valuations in the billions at their peak with no earnings. Many companies at the time of this writing still have valuations of over 6 times sales and many companies such as Coinbase, Uber, and Rivian are still valued at over $10 billion market caps whilst losing hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter. The dozens of zombie companies in the S&P 500 are being forced into rolling their debts at higher interest rates while their earnings fall. This will be the largest debt deleveraging cycle in the US economy since the great depression, because this is the largest accumulation of bad debts since the roaring twenties.
It is not long until the credit risk is truly realized by market participants, and interest rates spike throughout the economy. This would include the inter-bank lending rate and junk rated bonds which would lead to a financial crisis. The longer the Fed’s quantitative tightening runs, the more inevitable the financial crisis becomes. The Fed ran the balance sheet down around $600 billion over the course of 2018 into late summer of 2019 before inter-bank lending rates started to spike. This time, the Fed has run the balance sheet down close to $300 billion so far with a plan of reaching over a $600 billion runoff in Q1 of 2023.
The hopes for a Fed pivot are misplaced. A Fed pivot on interest rate hikes and even a reversal of the rate hikes cannot re-incentivize people to borrow. When you’re in a contracting credit cycle and business cycle downturn, debt begins to be paid off and defaulted on rather than excessively accumulated. The demand to borrow collapses even if interest rates were lowered by the Fed. Therefore, bear markets and recessions usually don’t end until many months after the Fed has already begun cutting interest rates. This was seen in the Great Recession and the dot com bubble of 2000; where the market didn’t bottom until over 18 months after the Fed began cutting rates.
GDP is Bad and You Should Feel BadThe GDP number of 2.7% growth is being propped up by net exports, while consumption is at a cycle low. This is horrible for earnings expectations and risk assets. Net exports were at a low in prior quarters, making the economy look worse off than it was. Now the economy is actually worse off than it is and the metric is instead making it look better. This is why the NBER doesn't use "two quarters of negative GDP" to date recessions. There are too many false signals.
Don't fall for the GDP meme. The pain is coming.
Cyclical Apocalypse 2023The recession we predicted in August is almost here. Prepare for monetary meltdown. Things to look forward to next year:
Mass layoffs (started in q4) and spike in unemployment rate
Retail earnings miss heavily with a bad holiday season
Industrial production drops sharply
Used car bubble pops
Mass consumer defaults on car loans
Housing market collapse
Credit spread blowout
Zombie companies reduced to rubble
Mass bankruptcies
Negative real growth in all four macro sectors (income, production, consumption, employment, etc)
Various crypto exchanges insolvent
Mass panic and bank runs
SPY -30% to -70% drop
Disinflation and then deflation (not stagflation)
Energy bear market
Corporate rates turn into junk
Municipal bond meltdown
Emergency fed pivot but only after something dire breaks
Massive bond rally (tail end)
FTX is Just Another Market Correction: Liquidity and RegulationsI'm sure you've probably already heard the news about FTX so I won't cover everything - but there's a few things we might expect, longer-term, from the scandal this week.
- More Regulations: This incident embarrassed a lot of powerful people as well, so the likelihood of more substantial regulations coming down the pipe is now much higher.
- Increased Liquidity: Lots of people are pulling money outside of crypto right now, which explains why the prices have dropped so much this week, as a whole. (Especially Solana, which took an outsized hit compared to the rest.) But the money is still there - some will leave, but some will come back...hopefully with better research. It may present an opportunity for smaller alts to grow after the dust settles.
The crypto ecosystem has gone through a few exchange collapses already (ex. Mt. Gox) so crypto itself will still continue to press on. But I fully expect for more stories like these to unfold as we head further into the recession - the money printer has run out of ink, after all.
Oil move pending China's directionBrent Crude Oil price is expected to consolidate between 93 to 100, with the main catalyst being China's Covid Policy.
There were on-and-off hopes of China's reopening.
However, we are still very much on the fence given the continued strict Covid measures in China.
On the other hand, China did announce an easing of the measures, reducing the quarantine time. Another positive news is that the NHC is planning to accelerate vaccinations, which is crucial before further easing on their zero COVID policy.
We don't know how long that will take, or when it will be in effect.
Buys on support above 93 and sells on resistance at 100, until we have a clear path on China's reopening. Overall, looking more for buys given the pretty much firm demand in oil. Keep an eye out for OPEC oil report on Monday, 14 Nov 2022.
I will not fall as long as there is the specter of recession.The pandemic caused the dollar to strengthen, despite very low interest rates. There was a moment when it weakened, and that was at the very beginning, until January 2021. After that, it consolidated until June, and then only went up.
Why did the USD strengthen, even when rates were around 0%?
The crisis has the effect of strengthening the dollar, since all international payments and settlements are made in this currency. In addition, most of the loans that countries take out come from the US.
In other words: the demand for the USD was so high that some people began to wonder in 2021 whether there would be a shortage of this currency... For this reason, the FED could 'printed' $9-13 trillion, and the price went up anyway.
Something ends, something begins.
To make matters worse for all the countries that are borrowing massively in USD in chaos, the FED in March 2022 decided, to start raising interest rates, because inflation in the US started to go up.
Of course, the topic of inflation is thicker than just the massive printing. In 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine in February, starting a war that continues to this day. Conflicts are liked by oil, which soared to nearly $130 a barrel. This pushed up fuel prices, followed by the prices of almost every product in stores.
By February, the world had forgotten about the pandemic.
Late 70s and early 80s.
The whole situation is very similar to the late 1970s, when the Iranian Revolution was taking place, which created turmoil in the oil market. American oil then reached almost $40 a barrel. At that time, thanks to this situation and the Iran-Iraq war and the First Gulf War in the 1990s, the Soviets became the world's No. 1 oil producer.
All this caused inflation in 1980 in the U.S. to be close to 15%, and interest rates were raised to 20%.
Oil a bigger problem than 'printing'.
The prolonged conflict in Ukraine, sanctions on Russia, the still destabilized Middle East - protests in Iran, the Taliban in Afghanistan - and OPEC trying to cut oil production daily to drive the price above $100 a barrel... There are so many arguments for oil to rise in the medium term, and only the US fighting it actively by putting its reserves on the market.
This could be the main reason for double-digit inflation and high interest rates in the US.
Fed against the wall.
High rates and low inflation is a better short-term solution than too low rates and stagflation/high inflation. And yet, voices are breaking through to stop raising interest rates because it threatens recession - and it will, no matter how they want to defend themselves - and stop demand. But after all, that's the point; people are supposed to stop consuming maniacally and take out consumer loans to lower demand and help fight inflation faster. I believe the Fed, headed by Powell, are aware of this which is why they will not let up until inflation reaches 2%.
Long-term calm.
When Inflation starts to fall significantly, the FED will start cutting rates, and that's because Powell is looking hard at the 1980s crisis and Paul Volcker's conduct. One scenario I am considering is: RECESSION → Inflation starts to fall → Rate cuts → 2024-2025 economies get back on their feet and a new bull market begins. This is my long-term view. I wouldn't expect a big weakening of the USD during this time, as it will be supported by high interest rates, still strong demand and when inflation starts to fall, it will also support the currency. I would expect a weakening right after the recession ends. This was the case with the recessions of the 1980s, 2000 and 2007.
An uncertain, short-term future.
Currently, I don't know what to expect from inflation in the US - the next CPI reading on November 10. If it starts to fall now, it will increase the probability for the Fed to raise interest rates in December by 50 basic points rather than 75 basic points. The USD will weaken temporarily, but it will be hindered by oil, which is getting closer to $100 a barrel every day, and if it exceeds that level, the next CPI readings could be higher.
Scenarios.
November 10:
Inflation down → USD INDEX down → US Indices (SP, NQ, DJ, etc.) up → Precious metals up. Verification at next reading in December.
Inflation maintained or up → USD INDEX up → US Indices down (Sell Off) → Precious Metals down.
At this point, technically, the short-term USD INDEX is giving a signal for a decline, but a very weak one, so I am not set in either direction and take each scenario with equal probability.
Possible scenarios for the coming weeks, but I know that there are still levels below (102) that could be affected if inflation falls now.
P.S..
Unemployment has started to rise in the US, which is the first sign that raising interest rates is starting to work.
T10Y3M: Recession Still FarThis chart suggests that the coming recession will be anywhere from Q4 next year to Q4 2024 which is much later than what the 10 minus 2 year chart could be saying. There's also a possibility that the recent inversion is a false signal but unlike the 1998 fakeout, it went deeper and is much more likely a legitimate signal.
SPX500 Bulls in the gameLooks like S&P500 bulls, but expect that it will only go so far.
Unemployment rate has gone up 2%.
NFP higher than expected but lower than previous.
But, inflation still on the rise. Fed is poised to hold their stand, continue hiking interest rates albeit at a slower pace.
Interest rates hikes are possibly priced in by now - with the Fed having made a clear stance for interest rate to be within the range of 4-5%.
We have just hit the lower end of the range at 4%, and will probably be little to low impact from now for anything under 5%.
Expect chaos if interest rates go above 5%. If otherwise, market will probably continue the bulls until a new catalyst hits.
Will we see a correction to key price levels before resuming the higher timeframe trend?
Crypto winter/bull market isn’t overStop saying we are bullish even bottomed. We are still in a bear market and crypto winter isn’t over yet so don’t get way too far ahead.
As the retracement to 21K completed should expect a big fall and the bears are back from water break, as bitcoin still volatile and the Feds are still going aggressive to fight off the inflation.
Powell gave a hint will go lower but that’s not all, the inflation still over 40 year high.. the next Feds meeting is coming this week for the rate increase decision and the last meeting held in December.
Significant recession is coming in 2023.
The buy is still short term & the sell is still in long term.
Bearish rally target is 16K, 14K, 12K then last will be 10K area but we will never know it will drop even further.
DAX crosses the 100 day EMA for the third time this yearThe DAX30 has once again crossed the 100 day EMA for the third time this year. After the previous two crosses, the index went ahead to lose an average of 15%.
The index has already reached a trough of 27.55% this year with each drop weakening and bear exhaustion showing up as evident from MACD divergence.
The index has priced in a lot of bad news including the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, high inflation pressuring consumers budgets and ECB rate hikes.
It is highly unlikely that a recession in Europe has been priced in. The BoE acknowledged that the UK entered a recession in Q3. Eurozone PMIs released this week showed that manufacturing is already in recession territory. Pessimism in the sector is still high but supply chain pressures seem to be falling amidst falling orders.
The question on my mind is how deep the recession in Europe will be and how long it will last. I'm currently bearish on European indices as bullish sentiment or lack of bearish price action shows a disconnect from fundamentals.
Looking at volume flow (FDAX futures), it can be seen that short positions have largely reduced from a peak of 125K in September to the current 33K. Long positions have also fallen from 134K in Oct to 92K. This implies that the current bullish price action has no legs.
This can be collaborated with On Balance Volume showing that inflows might have peaked at the August - September highs.
In summary, this is why I'm still bearish and looking to sell the rips:
Recession in Europe not priced in or at least partly priced in.
Inflation is still a sore thorn for Europe with YoY increases crossing the 10% mark.
Volume flows for traders are showing signs for peaking.
Bank of England raised rates by 75 basis pointsEUR/USD 🔽
GBP/USD 🔽
AUD/USD 🔽
USD/CAD 🔼
USD/JPY 🔼
XAU 🔽
WTI 🔽
After the Federal Reserve’s 75 basis point rate hike, the Bank of England has followed suit - though notably less inclined to continue aggressive tightening, being warier of an economic recession. GBP/USD lost over 230 pips to a closing price of 1.1165, while EUR/USD slumped from a high of 0.9943 to 0.9751.
Later tonight, Mitrade anticipated the US Nonfarm Payrolls to increase employment by 200,000 displaying the resilience in the labor market, hence justifying the hawkish stance of the Fed. Recent rate hikes saw USD/CAD climbing to 1.3745, and USD/JPY rising over 30 pips to 148.27.
Due to China’s zero-COVID policy and continued tightening among global central banks, the gold price rebounded from a month-low of $1,617.05 to closed lower at $1,629.65 an ounce. The commodity-sensitive AUD/USD pair declined and stabilized at 0.6287, as WTI oil futures fell to $88.17 a barrel.
S&P 500 RECESSION ANALYSIS!EARLIER, i had posted saying if the us markets goes further down what will be there point. (check the link section)
lets go on further,
recession means what earned everything lost, reached its breakeven point. what profit gained has gone away, with net having no loss and no profit.
FIBONACCI ANALYSIS: Fibonacci describes this statement in a very beautiful manner. if the price is trading at the 0.5 level then it is has reached its recession point.
although do note that 0.5 level is also a deciding level. okay, i will come to this later.
lets talk about this idea that why is the US started recovering.
interest rates had started coming down, and the indices are reacting very positively towards it.
i have explained to Fibonacci that now the recession has been completed according to this indicator.
MOVING AVERAGES(50 AND 100): both the moving averages(50 and 100), are meeting at one point, and they will now repel and move upwards.
RSI: yet it needs to give a breakout, but is definitely showing divergence(the two purple lines), relating to price action
TREND LINES: THE BLUE TREND LINE: yet needs to be breached, and yes this is the move that will make the break of it.
many of the great tech stocks have massively come down, and now they are showing divergence and a good upside move is gonna come.
FINAL WORDS: US markets will have a boom in their upside movement, as many of them kept on selling their positions, and such the interest rates have started coming down and will become normal within 1-2 years, so from now onwards the next year will be a great run for the US markets.
i will come to my point which i earlier which i had left in the middle, in my previous s&p analysis(link below), i had mentioned if s&p goes further down then recession stage, then at what point will it go down, and what will be the levels furtheron.
but since interest rates have started coming down, and mostly all the other economical news has been factored, i say that now there is a great space that us markets can have there bull run, and they will have, because its so clear that markets are tend to go upside, and they are the ones who react at first.
thank you.
Powell's favorite curveA number of news sources reported in the lat 2 days that J Powell's favorite yield curve as a recession indicator is an inverted 3 month and 10 year.
These are now inverted and have only inverted 3 other times according to this data
Before the 2000 crash
Before the Global Financial Crisis
Before Covid lockdowns
Its virtually assured at this point that the US will enter a recession in the near future if we're not in one already.
I have more to say about this and in particular the timing of covid but if you want the tinfoil hat version you'll have to find me on the newsletter...
Good luck out there!
XRP in the short term 2022We are seeing a lot of pressure in conventional markets along with commodity markets with all the inflation and recession numbers involved. With FED moving forward with strong interest rate hikes well into 2023 I can see serious pressure on the XRP price given that there is still no settlement for 2022 or the end of the case until 2023. Fibonacci levels all the way down to $0.3693 and using curves to see the possible path for the XRP price in the short term. If these price points become reality it will become beautiful opportunities for cost averaging and taking advantage of low entry points.
