Russia/Ukraine Crisis effect on Raiffeisen Bank InternationalA few western companies that are listed could very much feel the consequences of the Russian invasion. Energy firms revenues and profits may be offset by a potential oil price jump so that is not a major concern right now. The financial sector is where I see an issue. According to calculations by JPMorgan, for the financial sector, the risk is concentrated in Europe. Any conflict in Ukraine will hit Russia just as you would imagine, there would be an economic hit and, along with sanctions that the US will impose this doesn’t sound good. Raiffeisen Bank International derived 39% of its estimated net profit last year from its Russian subsidiary. Raiffeisen Bank International would therefore be a good company to short. The two orange lines represent all-time highs and lows. The two black lines represent the last decade support and resistance levels In early 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea the stock fell by around 32%. In the event of an invasion, I see the stock falling towards the bottom black support line. Represented by the blue arrow. This would be a drop of around 22%.

Russia/Ukraine Crisis effect on Natural GasThe Russia and Ukraine crisis will cause a strain on Natural Gas prices. This analysis will explain its effects. Global natural gas consumption rebounded by around 4.6% in 2021. This strong growth demand was led by an economic recovery following the 2020s lockdowns and a succession of extreme weather events. Supply could not keep up. Along with unexpected outages, this led to a tight market and steep price increases. The year closed with record high spot prices in Europe and Asia, as natural gas supplies remained very tight. Beginning with the Russia/Ukraine crisis from the end of January till today natural gas spot prices have seen a rapid rise. By almost 35%, from around 3.631 to 4.902. This has been solely due to a fear of an invasion into Ukraine. The reason is simple, Europe heavily relies on Russia for natural gas. Around 40%. A third of the gas comes from pipelines underneath Ukraine, Germany is trying to circumvent this issue with Nord Pipeline 2. But this is still in the making and the US have said that they would stop this pipeline if there were any invasion into Ukraine. So, an invasion into Ukraine will be a good buying opportunity for Natural Gas. However, there's a problem. If the markets, see a problem looming in the commodities sector they almost always price in the problem from the get-go. So, I suspect many large banks, traders are ready for an invasion and gas producers have already got a supply of gas that can be shipped, if need be, to circumvent the gas supply shock that would occur if Russia invaded Ukraine. Also, A senior Biden administration official said last Tuesday that the US has held talks with major gas producers in North Africa, the Middle East and Asia, as well as domestically about their willingness to “temporarily surge” their gas output to meet any supply shortages. This would lead to a medium-term fulfilment of gas prices and the increase may not be as pronounced as one may imagine. I still believe there will be a large short-term spike in the prices, but this would not sustain for very long and eventually, the price will level out. Only if the supply shortages are met. If not, then the prices may continue to rise. So, if an invasion comes then a spike in natural gas and oil prices will probably occur. After that, I will wait and see how the supply shortage is managed and how that will affect prices. In 1991 the spot price of natural gas begins around 1.649, the highest price was around 16.470 near the end of 2005. But, for the largest period, it's been between 1.649 and 6.162. In the last decade, the spot price has only on three occasions reached that amount. The purple indicator second to the bottom is the RSI, it measures overbought and oversold situations. Since natural gas is a commodity, I’m not going to focus largely on these indicators apart from the CCI (commodity channel index). Which is designed for assets such as natural gas. The RSI has seen overbought levels which have been represented by the purple boxes on the chart. Most of these events have been geopolitical and not nearly related to technical stuff. So, the large increase in the RSI which would inevitably come in the event of an invasion should be mostly ignored. Only recognize that the increase is related to the event and when the RSI starts to cool off it could be a sign to sell. The blue indicator is the CCI. This indicator is used to signal overbought scenarios as well. Since it works by comparing the current price by the average price over some time. The times when the CCI has been overbought are presented by the blue circles on the graph. As with the RSI, I would use this indicator only to see a sell, not a buy. Since the indicator lags in time, the event and spike in price will come before it is shown on the indicator and could cause a delay in action which could result in a bad timing in position. The red lines represent all-time lows and highs. The orange lines are recent highs and lows based on the last decade. But the important lines are the black ones. These represent an area of resistance for the price going back to 2002. The price has stalled and found support and resistance in this region. So, if one wants to have a long-term position in natural gas, I will use this to measure the level of support of the resistance. These lines would not cause any issues in an event of an invasion since the price would probably spike through and ignore the resistance. But when the price cools down, you can expect it to find this region as a support level and that could signal a sell. The blue arrow is my prediction in the event of an invasion. The highest peak of the arrow is where I see some form of a bad scenario working out. But if the US and Europe make sure the gas supply is sufficient, I do expect a rise in the price but not to the arrowhead. Only between the top black line to the orange line. Which is the green rectangle. The growth of the green rectangle represents a rise of 40% which, is more than enough to make a decent profit.

USDRUB Russian ruble is no longer aligned to Crude Oil priceI don`t want to be prophetic, but does George Soros ( 91 years), The Greatest Speculator of all time, want to be remembered as The Man Broke the Bank of Russia too? Developments in Kazakhstan and NATO supporting Ukraine to defend against an invasion from Russia are bad signs for the ruble. US, UK and other officials started the evacuation of their embassy employees Kyiv. The US, UK and other NATO members warned Russia about the heavy sanctions bombardment in case the tension with Ukraine escalates. Bank of Russia wants Full Ban on Crypto, calling Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme. Russia's central bank consider trading, mining and crypto usage illegal. the Russian Ministry of Finance also announced a halt of foreign currency purchases, to withhold the further downslide of the ruble. I see an imminent breakout of usd to all time high if the tensions escalates. Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

The Russia Risk It is hardly surprising to see USD/RUB creeping through its 2020-2022 resistance line given the increasing tensions between Russia and the Ukraine. That gives us the fundamental reason, but how can the chart to help with our trading strategy when something is hard quantify from a fundamental perspective? Will Russia invade the Ukraine? Who knows, I was chatting about this with my friend yesterday who is convinced they will not, due to the risk of sanctions, but I have to say I am not so convinced and there is a real risk here and I am not convinced that the markets are fully pricing in that risk premium….and here’s where some basic chart knowledge really comes into its own. Charts help to take out some of the emotion out of decision making and it has some basic rules. For example, the definition of an up move is for higher reaction highs and higher reaction lows. For USD/RUB the last reaction low and the 55-day moving average coincide well in the 74.36/25 region, so placing a stop below there is logical. Too far away? Look at an hourly chart and follow the same principle. Need a target zone, or somewhere you need to aim for? The 2016-2022 resistance line at 81.40 is a good place to start. What do you do when it starts to reach your target zone? There is a decision to be made... do you lock in profits and exit or hold on? You need to take a closer look at the chart at this point– is the RSI overbought? Is the market running out of steam, struggling to get through this level? At the very least you should be looking to tighten your stops. By the way resistance lines that only connect 2 points are not as good as down trends (these connect 3 points) and with USD/RUB bouncing off its 2014-2022 uptrend at the end of last year all the risks are on the topside. Above 81.40, we have the 82.86 March 2020 high and the 85.98 January 2016 high.

Are Wheat & Biofuels Supply Plays?Took positions in BG last year, & ended up trading out too soon. Here is a good dip & options are cheap, not trading advice just a MACRO play. As long as food prices are going up & Russian Export Taxes are increasing then Wheat Grain & Biofuels might still be valid fundamentally. Bunge is a global player so please check out their Fundamentals, SEC Filings & Prospectus before investing real money, also it costs nothing to check price action for a few weeks or months before making a decision. That's how lots of analysts make their very best decisions. In fact the way I came across BG was from bad information about an alleged Silver Squeeze. Don't follow hype, do your own research & make the best decisions for you & your investment goals.

The wave principle applies to some extent to individual stocks, but counting waves for them is often confusing and has little practical significance. But since the company has a large capitalization, we assume that the state of the shares depends on the psychology of the masses According to our old plans, we have reached a turning point. Now the 3rd wave is coming. Gold, contrary to the correction that we have observed recently and will, most likely, observe for some time, is at the top (Price range:1950-1550USD, Delta:400, Average:1750), which is a good thing for gold mining companies.

Thus, changes in exchange rates may affect the financial results and performance of the Group. The strengthening of functional currencies relative to the US dollar may adversely affect enterprises in Russia and Kazakhstan and lead to higher operating costs denominated in local currency and lower margins.

HTF LONG - 0.6969 ETHBTC coming at yaCombination of fractal behavior and 3 years of consolidation is about to send Russia to the moon. Let's aim for that top trend line resistance. I know what the drawing says, but 0.6969 or 0.69420 ETHBTC is about where we should end the run. Next major correction... late July after a DeFi summer. Perhaps a sell the news event when EIP1559 comes out? Maybe the market sells on Ethlon Musk buying into $ETH after PoS, expecting him to talk shit about it a week later on Twitter. Can we rule anything out at this point? Following this as my guide until there's a major deviation.
