July Seasonal Long Copper HG1!: Seeking Gap & clean highs-We retraced down to 50% of the 2024 up leg, finding support. -We neatly found support at the Volume imbalance W and the midpoint of the Fair value gap M, circa 50% of said 2024 up leg. -July has a strong bullish seasonal tendency. ~The plan would be to take partials (half off) in the gap (FVG- fair value gap) circa 4.75; and move stop-loss up to trailing. ~If this runs up hard & fast, ideal target would be the high time frame clean highs 5.24 ~Timestop: End of July marks end of seasonal bull, so depending on the price action context, i'd be inclined to close the trade as we enter into August. ~If this proves bearish and i'm wrong, I would close the entire position if we come any lower than a mere peep below the late June low; stop-loss would be at 4.31 **B-ADJ toggled ON; SET toggled OFF. **Just an idea for paper trading purposes, not financial advice.

There is no turn backThis analysis might look pretty crowded but actually there is simple logic behind this. After each bearish season place "Fib speed fan resistance" from top to bottom. We can observe there is no bearish scenario after we break 0.75 blue fan line. There might be red weeks but after all its end with bullish scenario. End of bullish scenario can be found from Pi Cycle Bitcoin High/Low indicator. Whenever it's "High Short MA" and "High Long MA" crosses it is very close to top. This indicator is repainting so it means we can estimate end of bull season by "Pi Cycle Bitcoin High/Low" indicator.

NZDUSD-4H-TREND CONTINUATIONNZDUSD is looking bearish in HTF 1. Conditional Scoring: Bearish sentiment is derived from expectations of deteriorating economic conditions in New Zealand relative to the US. 2. COT-FILP: Bearishness is based on speculative positioning in the futures market, where traders anticipate a decline in the NZDUSD exchange rate. 3. Seasonal Patterns: Bearishness during the first two weeks of May since the last 5, 10, and 15yr is attributed to seasonal factors, such as decreases in exports or shifts in interest rate differentials. 4. Fundamentals: Improvements in leading economic indicators and exogenous factors suggest strength in the NZD, while a decline in endogenous factors implies potential weakness in the currency. 5. Technicals: Bearishness in the trend and continuation pattern suggests a downward trajectory in the NZDUSD pair, while bullish divergences might indicate a potential reversal despite other technical factors pointing to bearish. Overall, the analysis concludes with a bearish outlook for the NZDUSD pair, considering both fundamental and technical factors.

End-of-Quarter sell-off effectAccording to ChatGPT: Yes, end-of-quarter sell-offs are a phenomenon observed in the stock market where investors may sell off their holdings toward the end of a financial quarter. There are several reasons why such sell-offs occur: Portfolio Rebalancing: Institutional investors, such as mutual funds and pension funds, often rebalance their portfolios at the end of each quarter to maintain their desired asset allocation. If certain stocks have performed well and become overweighted in the portfolio, they may sell some of those stocks to bring the allocation back in line with their strategy. Window Dressing: Fund managers may engage in window dressing at the end of each quarter. This involves buying or selling securities to improve the appearance of their portfolio holdings in reports to clients or shareholders. Quarterly Earnings Reports: Companies typically release their quarterly earnings reports shortly after the end of each quarter. If these reports are disappointing or if there are concerns about future earnings growth, investors may sell off their holdings in those companies. Tax Considerations: Individual investors may engage in tax-loss harvesting toward the end of the quarter to realize losses for tax purposes. This could lead to increased selling pressure on certain stocks. These are just a few reasons why end-of-quarter sell-offs may occur in the stock market. However, it's important to note that not every quarter sees significant sell-offs, and market behavior can vary depending on a wide range of factors including economic conditions, geopolitical events, and investor sentiment.

Natural Gas: Over storage due to recency bias?So far we’ve covered Natural Gas twice, once in October 2022 , followed by another in May 2023 . As highlighted in both pieces we are generally longer-term bullish on natural gas but we do see some opportunities for a short-term tactical position now. As winter approaches, the harrowing memories of natural gas price movements during the previous winter seasons keep us vigilant. Some key points we find interesting now include the natural gas storage levels in the EU and US, unseasonal weather, price seasonality, and natural gas price action. Natural gas storage Natural Gas storage typically follows two clear seasonal trends: the winter withdrawal season and the summer injection season, with the summer months being April to October and winter from November to March. The chart below shows the storage level across time in the US. Current US Storage levels are close to the previous high in 2020. While in the EU, current gas storage levels are the highest they've been over the last five years. These high storage levels come off the back of a massive rally in natural gas prices in the 2021-2022 period. Which leads us to question, could this be attributed to recency bias? Have markets become over-prepared, with storage levels so high? Unseasonal weather One rationale for high storage levels is preparation for a harsh winter. The build-up of gas storage in the EU, particularly, was spurred by a warmer-than-expected start to the winter, resulting in less gas usage for heating. Forecasts also predict the 2023 winter in the EU & US to be warmer than average. A recent Bloomberg article on Natural Gas states: “Data generated by the Copernicus Climate Change Service signals a minimum 50% probability that most of Europe will experience well-above average temperatures between December and February. The Balkans, Italy and the Iberian peninsula have a 60% to 70% chance of exceeding median historical temperatures over the past three decades.” The EIA adds: “We estimate that U.S. natural gas inventories totaled 3,835 billion cubic (Bcf) feet at the end of October, 6% more than the five-year (2018–2022) average. We forecast U.S. natural gas inventories will end the winter heating season (November–March) 21% above the five-year average with almost 2,000 Bcf in storage. Inventories are full because of high natural gas production and warmer-than-average winter weather, which reduces demand for space heating in the commercial and residential sectors.” High storage levels, coupled with lower-than-expected demand due to warm weather, could signal further weakness for Natural Gas… Price Seasonality Adding to this is the general price seasonality of Natural Gas. Over the past six years, the August to end-of-October period generally sees a gradual rise, followed by a decline from December to January. With this year’s price behavior aligning with past trends, we could very likely see a downturn in prices heading towards the end of the year and into January. Price Action On a longer-term time frame, the 3.610 level has repeatedly served as both support and resistance. On a shorter timeframe, natural gas has been trading in a defined broadening formation, likely indicating increased price volatility. To express our short-term bearish view, we can take a short position on the CME Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures at the current level of 3.089, setting the stop at the resistance above at 3.26 and take profit of 2.62. Each 0.001 point move in the Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures is for 10 USD. The charts above were generated using CME’s Real-Time data available on TradingView.

NQ Framing: anticipating seasonal LowHello everyone, We have had a bearish weekly bias and have continued downward today crossing an important level. As shared previously, I have been watching these levels in case we get a new low for October, surpassing the earlier one, signaling the seasonal low for Q4. We are very close to breaking that level. Rarely do you come this close to an important level without reaching it. I would like to see 14586 broken, for a new low. There ARE levels below that, and of course anything is possible. However, I will consider the break of 14586 the seasonal low for this quarter, unless convincing signs of further downside occur. Important to note we are framed by a weekly gap above and below- there is a lot of room between this range. I will be looking for daily moves between those for now. Have a great weekend!

Uptober is here: what it means for Bitcoin and the crypto marketAs October arrives, crypto enthusiasts and traders are gearing up for what has affectionately become known as "Uptober." Historically, October has proven to be a pivotal month for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market, with significant price movements and market-shaping events. In this article, we'll explore the historical context of Uptober, examine potential factors that could influence Bitcoin and the crypto market this month, and provide insights to help you navigate this exciting period. Historical Significance of October in Crypto: October holds a special place in the hearts of crypto enthusiasts due to several notable events that have occurred in this month over the years. One of the most iconic moments is the mysterious launch of the Bitcoin whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto on October 31, 2008. This event marked the beginning of the revolutionary blockchain technology that underpins cryptocurrencies. Additionally, Bitcoin has experienced significant price movements during previous Octobers. Notably, in October 2017, Bitcoin's price surged to an all-time high of nearly $20,000, sparking a frenzy of interest and investment in the cryptocurrency. This bull run was followed by a market correction, but it cemented October as a month to watch for crypto traders. Factors Influencing Uptober 2023: While historical data provides intriguing insights, it's crucial to consider the current landscape and potential catalysts for Uptober 2023. Here are some factors that could influence Bitcoin and the crypto market this month: Institutional Adoption: The continued involvement of institutional investors and large corporations in the crypto space is expected to play a significant role in market dynamics. Positive news regarding institutional adoption, such as more companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets, could boost confidence in the market. Regulatory Developments: Regulatory actions and statements from governments around the world can have a substantial impact on crypto markets. Traders will closely monitor any regulatory news that may provide clarity or uncertainty regarding the legality and oversight of cryptocurrencies. Market Sentiment: Crypto markets are highly sensitive to investor sentiment. Positive sentiment can lead to FOMO (fear of missing out) buying, while negative sentiment can trigger panic selling. Events like conferences, major announcements, or celebrity endorsements can influence market sentiment. Global Economic Conditions: Broader economic conditions, including inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions, can drive interest in cryptocurrencies as a hedge against traditional financial uncertainties. Bitcoin, often dubbed "digital gold," tends to perform well in such environments. Navigating Uptober: As Uptober unfolds, it's essential to approach the market with a clear strategy and risk management plan. Here are some tips for navigating this exciting yet volatile period: Diversify Your Portfolio: Avoid putting all your investments into a single cryptocurrency. Diversification can help spread risk. Stay Informed: Keep a close eye on news and developments in the crypto space. Information is key to making informed decisions. Set Realistic Goals: Define your investment goals and risk tolerance. Avoid chasing quick profits and be prepared for market fluctuations. Use Technical Analysis: Consider using technical analysis tools and indicators to make informed trading decisions. Stay Calm: Emotions can lead to impulsive decisions. Stick to your trading plan and avoid making decisions based on fear or greed. In conclusion, Uptober is an exciting time for the crypto market, filled with opportunities and challenges. By staying informed, adopting a strategic approach, and managing risk, traders and investors can make the most of this pivotal month in the world of cryptocurrencies. Whether you're a seasoned trader or a newcomer, October promises to be a captivating chapter in the ongoing crypto narrative.

Ever wonder why Aug and Sep are weak months?Ever wonder why the market is historically weaker in August and September? On August 15 interest on treasuries is paid from the Fed "other reserves" account which appears to briefly tighten central bank liquidity (normally adverse to risk assets during the QE/QT era). On September 15 the final quarterly tax payment for the fiscal year is due, which seems to be preceded by a brief drawdown. The combination of the 2 events this time of the year result in seasonal weakness. Looking at the years 2015 through 2022 we can observe that the market was: trending up leading into August 75% of the time, flat or down from 8/15 to 9/15 63% of the time, and finished the year higher than the 9/15 close 87% of the time. Additionally, since 1938 there are 14 years in which the market advances >10% through July that are followed by a negative August. They all finish the year higher, with an average rest of year performance of 9.9% (median 8.7%). This history suggests that the earlier part of September is a stronger time to take profit, or trim/exit any positions, while after the 15th should be favorable to accumulate or start new positions.

S&P 500 Head & Shoulders on the DailyThe SPY (S&P 500 Index) resembles a quite clear Head & Shoulders Pattern which is generally bearish. The daily candle chart shows a right shoulder forming with a rejection from the $445 area. With this rejection and a continuation downwards, we could see a harder fall if this aligns with the left shoulder and follows the pattern. The other main indices also follow a similar pattern formation and could follow with a market downturn. Watching that $445 level is key to see a confirmation retest and rejection downwards. Following the lower levels, some price targets would first be the neckline as shown on the chart posted. A break below the neckline could result in a fall of the S&P 500 and if following the complete Head & Shoulders we could be seeing a realistic price target of the $410-$420 area. Other than technicals fundamentals are definitely quite alright for the market as of now. But maybe a little too alright in my opinion. We have seen a market melt up with interest rates still sky-high resulting in more risk-ON investing rather than investing in CD's or Treasuries offering up to 5.5%. The Greed being shown in this market is definitely visible and is something to keep note of if we break the neckline. Fear & Panic Selling could most definitely occur in this type of situation especially considering the market rally we've seen this summer. Seasonally the fall has been quite bearish for the markets overall, and as we head into September & October we could see a similar trend to the past, but nothing is sure. Lastly, in September / October Student Loan Repayments are resuming which could suck out millions if not billions of dollars from the United States economy as young adults chip away at debt and sacrifice spending on goods & services. This will most definitely be a crucial effect on the economy and could send markets downwards. Keep an eye out for this pattern to play out... Definitely something to watch as we move in to Fall! Thanks
