GOLD SELL TO 1966📉This here is the analysis we used to enter short positions for our Gold Fund investors. We have 2 positions open, one from 2050 and another from 2040. We waited for a CHOC and BOS, which would have completed Wave A according to the EW theory. This was followed by a move back up to our OB (Wave B), now expecting a move towards 1966!
GOLD LONG TO 2024📈This here is my short term bias on Gold buy's. The market is currently creating a complex correction structure, in order to trap both new buyers & sellers into the market. This inducement will be used as liquidity when Gold makes its next big move. For now we are just playing within this consolidation phase.

SPX | Waiting For The Miracle To ComeThis year has been very boring... Lot's of horizontal movement, not many interesting news.
Well, except of course that "a couple" of banks went bust.
But if I didn't tell you that, you couldn't tell where in this chart this occurred...
SPX, and the market in general, has been too stubborn despite the importance of the events occurring.
On the one hand, this makes sense. This kind of crisis (banking) has come before, so the markets are calm. A crisis comes when nobody expects it to. And by design, a crisis is an unknowing event of unknowing consequences. A bank going bust is not frightening anymore. The market expects the FED to step-in and bail everyone out.
But the FED cannot possibly bail anyone out. They cannot print any more money (we might have reached a debt ceiling), and even if they could, they could be unwilling to print more money. Inflation will get worse.
So no more money.
Dollar has served as the worldwide reserve currency, until now. China amongst other powerful nations, collaborate into creating an alternative reserve currency. One that will be controlled by them, not by a panicking (?) FED.
The FED might not be panicking, even if we believe that they are trapped. I believe that they have very good knowledge of what they do, and of the repercussions. Absurdly high interest rates can be a mechanism to increase the dollar purchasing strength. And you need purchasing power when you have enemies (Russia, China etc.)
Since 2015, this has worked out tremendously well. The Dollar is making higher highs.
Of course, there are many fundamentals (like the Dollar Milkshake) that push the dollar value to new highs. But interest rates are interest-ing (hahaha) to the Dollar.
And the Dollar is winning battles against many countries of the world.
And with lower money supply, it's value is fated to increase even further.
(I like real reality, not augmented reality, that's why I used M2REAL instead of M2SL)
The money supply is vacuumed back into the printer which created it. And the power of the vacuum is not big, it is exponential.
The Dollar Milkshake Black Hole is now open.
But how much can the FED possibly hike?
The discrepancy between the FED's rate and the Market's rate is at it's highest level. The FED may not be able to hike any higher against the market's expectance. Who knows what will happen if the FED overcomes this limit... (is it even fundamentally possible?)
Inflation is high and it is fated to increase even more. I have posted about it extensively.
The preview of this chart idea is broken, oops...
Now, oil is looking substantial signs of strength.
Oil, the main inflation influencer, is showing significant signs of bottoming. Furthermore, it has retested a trendline that followed us since 2008. Long-term, the only way for Crude is up!
And the only way for equities is down! Just to reach the mean, the OIL/SPX ratio has to increase by 75%. So there is much room upwards for commodities...
Have you realized what SPX has shaped into?
Could this be the anatomy of a bubble? And has it already broken?
It seems that the recession is only now just beginning.
During normal times for the US economy, equities could grow even as yields were increasing. Now we are entering a period of weakness for the economy. Something has to give, either the equities go bust, or the yield rates. (Equities have much more room to drop than Yields do)
A crisis is definitely inching towards us...
A final chart for today:
Equities used to grow as money was created. Now this chart has immense dynamics to move downwards. In a sense, equities have MUCH room downwards, even if money gets created. This comes to prove that equities cannot absorb any more money supply. Money printing from the FED cannot possibly help equities, no matter what they do, they are trapped inside the bearish wedge. Only way for equities is down!
And similarly for SPX
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

PS. What could these charts mean? Are they of any meaning after all?
A crisis is definitely itching towards us...
I HAVE to test. All the time. Or I get this... this ITCH. It must be hardwired into the system or something.

US 10Y TREASURY: a “dead cross”A $31.4 trillion debt ceiling was in the spotlight of the markets during the previous week. The possibility of the US debt default would certainly have large repercussions not only to the US but also would be felt through the rest of the world. As per currently available official data, the estimation is that the US might default on its debt in June or July, the latest, which is labeled by the government as “significant risk”. As for the Fed rate hikes, the majority of investors are of the opinion that the Fed should stop with further rate increases, as it might hurt the economy more than previously estimated.
The US 10Y T-notes ended the week at level of 3.463% as investors were digesting the potential outlook of the US economy after recent developments and rate hikes. The University of Michigan report has been released during the previous week, providing expectations on inflation for the next 5 years. The majority of participants in the survey answered 3.2%, which is higher from the 3.0% estimated during the previous month.
Current sentiment on US10Y T-notes is neutral, as RSI moves around level of 50. The moving average of 50 days just made a cross with its MA200 counterpart from the upside, forming a so-called “dead cross”. In technical analysis this indicates the high potential for a downside in the future period. However, for the week ahead, charts are pointing to some potential for the 10Y T-notes to reach 3.30%, but would most certainly oscillate around $3.40 during the week.
spx500, updated [primary]good evening,,,
follow up to my last post on the nasdaq.
it is thanks to this particular picture, that the nasdaq count becomes possible.
---
the spx500 came down in 5 waves from all time high,
labeled wave (a).
from the 2022 lows, it begun retracing in what looks like a perfect 3 wave move.
there's a beautiful running flat in there which was very tricky to see.
---
i believe the spx500 is about to complete wave c of wave (b) into this summer.
once it does, i will give you a comprehensive update + some downside targets to look forward to.
✌
nasdaq, updated [primary]good evening, and happy sunday.
---
decided to share the updated version of my count tonight,,,
>the key to this count is the spx500, which will be shared in the next post (keep an eye out for it).
---
what i'm portraying here is called a zig-zag.
the nasdaq came down from all time high in 5 waves,
5 waves is labeled either wave 1 or wave a.
in this case, to be extremely conservative, i am choosing to label it as wave a.
---
once 5 waves down was attained, the nasdaq begun to retrace the 5 wave move, which is called wave b.
wave b can take many different forms, shapes, and vibes.
in this case, i'm calling it a regular zig-zag, thanks to the clarity which the spx500 + bitcoin are portraying.
---
my target for wave b has been the same since the 2022 lows,,,
15.2k.
>got you an update once wave b has been completed later this summer.

SPX | Of Course I'm Lying (?)I am not lying.
I am completely disproving my latest idea, on how to short SPX. That idea went on Editors' Picks. And I am now killing it.
I am not kidding, April Fools is for fools. I don't consider me or you a fool. So I am being serious.
Chart analysis is not always straightforward. Pinpointing tops and bottoms is the ultimate bet for a trader. As most of you know, this is very hard sometimes.
In 99% of a chart's movement, the trend is continuing. A significant trend change is very rare. Significant evidence for a trend reversal are VERY RARE, and not apparent in all timeframes.
This is a chart that shows clear evidence of reversals. On the weekly timeframe, SPX analysis has showed significant evidence of peaks and bottoms.
Believe it or not, SPX and NDX are showing evidence of going long.
But what about long-term?
Now THAT is a hard conversation.
KST (and many other indicators) can show us incredibly early signs of price stagnation.
Signs of stagnation in long-term charts however, can take DECADES to play out.
SPX/M2SL Technicals were peaking in 1957, but the peak in SPX prices came 6 years later.
For the standard SPX chart, things took even longer to play out.
It is as if we are in 1957. And there is more evidence towards such a realization.
What I did here was basically compare the .com bubble with the Roaring '20s.
The .com bubble was just a very-fast version of the Roaring '20s. If we slow down NDX a little, we end up with the following:
The effect of bubbles is apparent in different periods, and in different scales. The same laws that shaped the 1950-1980 price movement, may be dictating the movement of today's stock market.
The Roaring '20s still has an effect on our moves. We may be living inside the reality-distortion field of the .com bubble.
KST Peaking is an EXTREMELY early sign of stagnation. Price continues upwards, albeit at a slower rate.
Now as we speak, KST reaches this exact point of peaking. This has proved an extremely early sign of stagnation.
Will this time be different, and instead KST is showing an immediate sign, an abrupt crash?
Perhaps things are too simple after all.
Long Live the US!
P.S. Remember, the stock market is for the patient ones, those who plan for decades ahead.

SPX | Another LieOrdinarily, I wouldn't contemplate them... but these *are* extraordinary times.
- G-Man
A bank just went broke, oops! It was certainly something we expected. With money literally burning, these kinds of events are expected. So what might be ahead of us?
The rate-hike schedule went relatively smooth sailing until now. But just last week something changed... When the first bank failed, the consensus shifted from calm to fearful.
Now the market is pricing-in the coming yield-peak. This goes hand-in-hand with the yield-curve correcting. At that time, the market expects only short-term yields to increase, while long-term ones will slowly and steadily drop.
Back in 2018, we were begging for the FED to lower the interest rates so as the economy to "grow".
Little did we know, that by lowering rates we were pulling the rug from underneath our own feet.
Equities growing when cutting rates is cheaty...
Now we have the same. We beg for the FED to stop burning money and calm the liquidity crisis that is building-up around us.
This bankruptcy may prove an event that causes even a premature FED pivot. At any rate, both charts and simple logic call for a pause in the rate-hike schedule.
So what can we expect? What I talked about in the original cake. Unsurprisingly, I expect equities to grow next year. Their price will increase while their true "value" will drop. While a sell-off may occur in the weeks to come, this will give the signal that the bottom is in. I believe however that this capitulation will not be the main "event".
The 2018 "Recession" had some violent drops. A sudden 20% drop in 3 months in Q4-2018 was definitely something that conquered the headlines. Passing through that gave the signal that a bottom was already in. The same consensus may be brewing now. Surely the FED cannot tighten further. Surely they will step-in an cautiously calm the financial markets.
The calm will come, and it will stay for some months. Until the calm erodes. And if rates drop, the economy itself will silently erode. Until the building collapses, at a time nobody expects it to.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

GOLD LONG TO $2,022📈(1HR TF)This here is a risky trade as its a counter trade. However, I'm willing to take a small buy risk, as a hedge against our sell positions. Market has been ranging nonstop for the past month & possibly could for another day or 2, so I'm expecting these buys to push back into the upper range & create an extended Wave 2.

M2SL | Mo Money Mo Problems!Oh boy, many of them problems...
Sometimes there are cycles, some cycles are shorter than others.
In chart analysis, we are familiar when we analyze trends. Either short term or long term.
The economy does not function only in trends. There are cycles. The most common / important of cycles is the yearly one.
Unfortunately, cyclic patterns may prove tricky to analyze. But they are very important.
Since I haven't taken the time to create TradingView indicators that calculate cycles, I will instead use a spreadsheet.
For the following charts, I basically take all historical data of a cyclic chart and export that data. For every week or month, I calculate the average distance from the mean. With that, I try to calculate the "expected distance" from the mean, for each time of the year. Natural Gas prices one might say, are lower during the summer months. So an unusually high price in summer may become explosive during the winter.
Today's main subject will be money supply. Since the January's M2SL data hasn't yet updated, I will try to guess how much money supply we can expect the following months. There is a cousin to the M2SL index which is updated weekly, and it is WM2NS. This index however as you can see on the chart above fluctuates from M2SL throughout the year. So, the regular WM2NS price should be adjusted based on it's cycle against M2SL.
This curve shows the expected yearly fluctuation of the ratio, compared to the mean,
Specific care has to be taken when we calculate the "fundamental cycle duration". Some cycles last 2 months, 3 months, or 6 months. The fundamental cycle of the economy is 3 months which repeats 4 times during the year. While this may prove irrelevant, It is incredibly important in the "cycle spectrum" creation.
If we consider a 1M duration of the fundamental cycle, the chart isn't as representative as the 2M one.
The Diesel / Gasoline cycle is incredible. This comes to prove that these two are highly correlated.
With the same method we can compare gasoline price with crude oil price.
For fuel prices, it seems that the end of the year can serve as a good baseline for the outcome of the next year. Absolute and relative are at their minimum in this time of year.
Similar charts can be drawn for DJI. While more chaotic (wider error lines), weeks 10 and 44 (March and October-November) appear as the weakest periods of the year.
So what M2SL price can we expect in the following days? I am an impatient man, I cannot wait for the results!!!
After a substantial drop in money supply, one might fear that further downside is to follow.
There are charts that calm such fears. Price has never touched the Quadratic Kernel indicator (a form of historic moving-average), and it may never touch it.
When RRPONTTLD increases, money supply decreases (I am oversimplifying because I don't know the exact specifics).
Bullish stochastics may signal more upside for money supply.
Finally, I will analyze the protagonist chart:
Suddenly, the 1.2% increaase doesn't sound that extraordinary...
Sometimes, a simplistic analysis like this one above, may prove correct like this one below:
Final thought:
With inflation higher than expected and money supply about to increase yet again, how high of an inflation can we expect?
With commodities bull-flagging against money supply itself, and Bitcoin bull-flagging against the Tech-Bubble, things can get pretty bad for equities...
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

PS. I have analyzed several cycles for different kinds of commodities. If you are interested ask me so as to post them.
Key short term levels to watch on the US 10Y yieldUS GDP Q1 GDP figures were released yesterday and showed a significantly slower rate of growth that expected, printing an overall figure of 1.1% Q1 growth.
The problem facing investors is that economic data suggests that inflation could remain sticky and the central bank is widely expected to raise benchmark rates by 25 basis points at its policy meeting next week.
So we are taking a look at the US 10Y yield chart to identify the key levels that you need to watch short term.

4-27-23 [us10y]hello,
here is one more layer of confluence,
to back up my spx case.
---
to the untrained eye, this looks like total, nonsensical chop,
but to a space explorer, it can easily be viewed as a 3-3-3.
what is a 3-3-3?
glad you ask anon:
a 3-3-3, is a very corrective structure,
designed to kill time mostly-
labeled w-x-y.
wxy = double zig-zag
these channel nicely,
as portrayed in the image above.
---
once this double zig-zag concludes into the summer time,
i predict the stock market will crash.
---
enjoy it till then, and as always ---
this is not financial advice,
i am merely an artist,
bringing to you,
art.
EURUSD SHORT TO $1.029📉 (670 PIPS OPPORTUNITY!)Place a sell stop at the green confirmation zone, let sellers accumulate positions & come down when they're ready. Analysis ONLY valid if price crosses our confirmation zone.

SPX | Spaaace!!!Spaaaaaaaaaaace!
Let's make a quick party, also bring a cake to celebrate! Make it quick, because it's late and I am tired and I should be sleeping by now.
We have reached the top of the world. Well, equities have. It is time for them to lose value big time. Their successor is here, bonds. I have talked about it extensively in my last idea.
This is an urgent idea I wanted to post. It seems that day-by-day we might be witnessing the peak in equity price.
And this idea is dedicated to the person who gave me the crazy idea to analyze something like that.
The idea is simple. We all know the immense yield inversion, it is definitely ugly... What if we found a way to analyze SPX based on the yield inversion itself? That is the idea of @CryptoTaoist and I am very thankful for it. All credit and all the likes this idea gets, are dedicated to this person!
Yield curve is a way to calculate money creation (normal times) and money destruction (inverted times).
Green is good for money, red is bad. No wonder dollars are green but flammable!
We also know that yield inversion is strictly bound to recessions. I will naively try to add these two together, equities and inversions to get an idea of when the recession is actually beginning.
Me and others have posted about how the US isn't in a recession yet. This can be seen if we multiply SPX by yields. In a sense, this year we had no recession for the US economy.
Please bring a real cake, not this lie...
The next part is analyzing whether SPX is performing good or bad considering the current rate of money creation / destruction. In a sense, dividing SPX by the yield curve. If you calculate the yield curve as US10Y-US02Y you will have trouble analyzing it compared with SPX.
Captivity of Negativity. Zero values for the denominator make a mess of the chart.
You could instead opt for a bodge, to fix the denominator by adding 1.
While this works, it is not harmonic enough for my liking.
I will create a new yield curve, but instead of standard yields I will calculate it using modified-yields.
More about the modified-yields in this idea below.
The new yield curve (in blue) is following the standard yield curve (in orange). So it can be considered a satisfactory replacement.
Do note that on the numerator we have modified(US10Y). On the denominator we have modified(US02Y+1). I add this +1 so as to further normalize the chart. In normal times US10Y and US02Y have a difference of ~1%.
To conclude, we divide SPX with the modified yield curve and we see the following:
A surprisingly smooth chart shows us what we expected, that the US isn't in a recession yet. It is also incredibly straight, from 2010-2022 and today. This means that yield curve and SPX correlate very well, if we modify them appropriately.
In a sense, dividing SPX by the yield curve calculates the following:
How much SPX increases as money gets destroyed?
If SPX can swim against the tide (money destruction) this means that it is very strong. A strong economy can hang on even when money is destroyed. US hanging on even with that immense of money destruction, means that it was (and perhaps still is) a very strong economy, which can withstand a heavy beating.
Note: DGS2 is a good replacement for US02Y if you want to analyze old historical data. Feel free to notify me of indicators that calculate even older yields of the 2 year bond.
But where is the ceiling in this chart?
While the 2.0 Retracement proves a significant resistance point, it is inconclusive of whether it is the terminal ceiling.
One answer may lie in the following chart:
(I knew the cake is a lie!!!)
We have divided by M2SL and multiplied by 10^12 to bring numbers to measurable scale. A normalized chart appears, and we also observe a curious ceiling appearing.
Price obsessively tries to penetrate this ceiling, just like DJI/M2SL did in 2018-2020
Are we witnessing the very last weeks of the equity bubble?
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
Captivity of Negativity is a reference to Bagwell of the Prison Break TV Series.
Gold Long to 2023📈This here is a buy position I am looking at in the short term. We have seen Wave 1 of the downtrend start, since then sellers have been taking a rest. Sellers seem to be re-accumulating more positions for a move lower. There is a chance that we could see 1 more move higher towards HKEX:2 ,023 as long as Gold could hold above Wave B. Very tight SL.

US10Y: Last dip before a medium term reboundThe US10Y is trading inside a Channel Down ever since its market peak on October 21st. The 1D technicals are neutral (RSI = 54.601, MACD = 0.300, ADX = 17.030) giving a mixed tone to the price action but based on the December-January Lows we can see the the Channel Down has one last dip to make before it bottoms and rebounds on the medium term. We will wait for that pullback around 3.250 and buy targeting the 0.618 Fibonacci (TP = 3.750).
