BlackRock Hits Record $10.5 Trillion in Assets Under ManagementIn a financial feat that has stunned market analysts, BlackRock ( NYSE:BLK ) has shattered records, boasting a staggering $10.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM) in the first quarter. This milestone, coupled with a remarkable 36% surge in profit, underscores BlackRock's dominance in the global investment landscape. The surge in AUM, propelled by a robust rebound in global equity markets, reflects investor confidence in BlackRock's prowess in navigating volatile market conditions. As expectations of rate cuts by major central banks gained traction, investors flocked to BlackRock ( NYSE:BLK ), driving a remarkable 15% increase in AUM compared to the previous year. While the investment advisory and administration fees soared nearly 8.8% to $3.63 billion, total net inflows experienced a dip to $57 billion from $110 billion a year earlier. This softness in inflows is attributed to cautious investor behavior, with many waiting on the sidelines for interest rate cuts before reentering riskier assets. Analysts foresee a resurgence in asset management industry flows post-interest rate cuts, anticipating a migration of cash reserves from the sidelines into riskier assets. BlackRock's total revenue surged 11% to $4.73 billion in the quarter, fueled by higher performance fees, technology revenue, and the impact of surging markets on average AUM. BlackRock's robust performance extends beyond traditional investment management. Its technology revenue witnessed a remarkable 10.9% jump to $377 million, indicative of sustained demand for its Aladdin investment management platform. This platform has become indispensable for retail and institutional clients globally, including sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and large corporations. The company's stellar financial performance is further underscored by its impressive net income of $1.57 billion, or $10.48 per share, in the first quarter, compared to $1.16 billion, or $7.64 per share, a year earlier. While BlackRock's shares have experienced a slight dip of about 3.2% this year, underperforming the benchmark S&P 500 index, its commanding position in the asset management industry remains unchallenged. As markets continue to evolve, BlackRock's unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence positions it for continued success in navigating the complexities of the global financial landscape.Longby DEXWireNews3

Chart Patterns (Lesson 1)~ The Misleading Rising Wedge The Misleading Rising Wedge on Ethereum Over the past few weeks a prominent trader who I admire has been adamant about Ethereum forming Rising Wedge, which is a bearish reversal pattern. I disagreed with this view but acknowledged the concern raised as any reasonable trader would. However, It caused me a bit discomfort as I have a large position in Ethereum since 2022 BUT I stuck to my guns and held my position. Folks, this wedge caused me enough discomfort that I needed to dig a little deeper on it and what I found is surprising to say the least. So lets have a look at THE WEDGE. What is a Wedge Formation? “Wedges are clearly defined patterns of converging price trend, pointed sharply up or down; they forecast a reversal of the trend which forms them”. From Richard Schabacker - Technical Analysis and Stock Market profits. The Rising Wedge will have slightly higher highs and higher lows compressing into an upward leaning point. The Rising Wedge is typically viewed as a bearish reversal pattern as it demonstrates waning price action with smaller thrusts and smaller declines showing a potential exhaustion of price action followed by a sweeping reversal. The Ethereum Dilemma On the 4th December 2023 I shared the below picture to illustrate a dilemma, was price forming a Rising Wedge (Bearish Pattern) or an Ascending Triangle (Bullish Pattern)? Turns out either way it’s not necessarily bearish as a Rising Wedge can continue in an upwards trajectory and breakout to the upside. I have found 4 examples of bullish Rising Wedges that are recent or relevant, I tried my best to find similar price action and structure also. The four Rising Wedges in the main chart above have a few characteristics that give them an upwards breakout plausibility; 1. Most importantly the On Balance Volume (OBV) indicator is rising. Increasing volume helps the plausibility of continued upwards momentum, whilst decreasing volume would warrant caution of a possible breakdown and reversal of price direction. Remember the Rising Wedge is defined by waning and exhaustive price action (smaller thrusts and declines compressing to a point) and declining volume is suggestive of such exhaustion/lack of interest. - Going forward we should carefully monitor the volume on Ethereum as Schabacker does warn of false break outs and false break downs in Wedges. In the event volume starts to decline, breaking its trendline or taking out recent lows, this could be an early warning sign that we need to reduce position size and prepare to exit. Just something to keep in mind. - The volume on Bitcoin and Ethereum for the Rising Wedge bullish thesis is a little rocky compared to the BlackRock and Ultratech charts volume which both have more consistent upward volume pressure. Just another observation. 2. All four charts have a 200 weekly moving average that is slopping upwards with price above it or price eventually establishing above the 200 week. 3. Each target is a measured move by taking the widest two touch points on the thickest side of the wedge and placing that length of width at the breakout point to establish the target (red arrows on charts). 4. The top two charts (BlackRock and Ultratech) show that price struggled once it met the prior all time high. These were stiff resistance areas for price either in the wedge or immediately the wedge for 21 – 26 weeks of consolidation price action. - In the event this happens with CRYPTOCAP:ETH , we could see significant resistance at $4,600 (All Time High) for a period of 20 odd weeks or something similar. We could at minimum expect resistance at this level as wedges identified illustrate this is a possibility. 5. Another clear pattern on all four Rising Wedges is that prior to wedge formation, the price reached an All Time High, then significantly declined to form the base of the newly forming wedge. I would also argue that the compression or underside angle in all four charts is to a greater degree than the compression from the ceiling forming on the wedge. I realize this is open to your perception, but that’s how I see each charts pattern. We are now aware that Rising Wedges can be bullish formations and that increasing volume contributes positively towards the possibility of a break to the upside. You might still be wondering…which was Ethereum an Ascending Triangle or a Rising Wedge. Let’s ask Schabacker.... I would argue that Schabacker’s description below may indicate that Ethereum was in in fact forming an Ascending Triangle. Schabacker advises under the heading THE WEDGE MUST BE STRICTLY DEFINED “The Wedge must point sharply up or down. A converging pattern which is projected on the chart in a nearly horizontal direction is more apt to partake of the nature of a true triangle, and the student will note that the forecast in that case would be quite different” Ethereum’s Wedge was not pointing “sharply up” and you could argue that the line was “nearly horizontal” either by degrees or by selecting other very close points of contact. Combine with this my earlier observation that the price underside compression angle was far greater that the upper lines weak slant. A major reassurance to me in this ETH trade was when I discovered that increasing volume can offset the bearish tone of a rising wedge. It gave me something to monitor and helped keep me on the right side of probability. I really hope this short review of rising wedges can help you stay on the right side of probability.

BLK - Short The Big GunsThis is not a stock I would really be looking to short but there are a series of technical events leading me to set a limit short entry. This is also in consideration of the gap down in indexes that is the first evidence that a bearish phase may now be underway in stock markets. Where "SRP" is on the chart looks like a "Right Shoulder" / "Last Point Of Supply" (Wyckoff) bearish shakeout . That has been followed by a big gap down today to leave the upper area as a circled "island" with a gap and and gap down on both sides. This island is effectively a higher time frame Evening Star candle pattern and is very attractive to shorters. Interestingly at the open there has been a strong bounce and the gap has almost filled already. That was a bear trap and I think it is what I have been calling a "Breakaway Shakeout" where the bounce has arrived just as momentum has increased to wriggle out traders trading the breakout. And so I think the gap can fill before the bearish trend continues and I have a limit short there @ $791.38. Reasonable chance it will get back to the 0.618 @ $793.22 that is just above the gap. Worth noting also that this area is higher volatility whipsaw post earnings. And that is also positive for a tricky reversal 👍. Not advice.Shortby dRends35Updated 116
BlackRock's Ambitious Move: Navigating the Ethereum ETF BlackRock ( NYSE:BLK ), one of the world's largest asset managers, is eyeing a bold move to follow its successful Bitcoin ETF debut with an Ethereum ETF. However, the journey to market and successfully promote an Ethereum-backed product might not be as straightforward as it seems. The Bitcoin ETF Success Story: BlackRock's ( NYSE:BLK ) entry into the cryptocurrency space began with the launch of its Bitcoin ETF, gaining widespread attention and positive reception. CEO Larry Fink initiated a marketing drive for a second spot ETF, this time with Ethereum as the underlying cryptocurrency. Fink emphasized the transformative utility of Ethereum's blockchain, highlighting its potential value. Challenges in Marketing an Ethereum ETF: The challenge lies in convincing investors who have already diversified their portfolios with a Bitcoin ETF to consider adding an Ethereum-based product. Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks, a partner firm on BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, pointed out that investors may question the necessity of another crypto diversification tool after investing in Bitcoin. Bitcoin as a Diversification Tool: Chung emphasized the role of Bitcoin in portfolio diversification, citing its behavior and price history as potent diversifiers in traditional investment portfolios. The addition of a small allocation of Bitcoin has been shown to boost the overall risk-adjusted return, making it a compelling investment choice. Educational Foray into Ethereum: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has begun delving into the complexities of Ethereum by mentioning tokenization, a concept gaining traction in traditional finance. However, Chung suggests that an educational approach should also cover smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and the intricacies of blockchain staking, all of which form integral parts of the Ethereum ecosystem. ESG Concerns and Marketing Strategy: While Ethereum's move to a greener validator model differentiates it from Bitcoin's energy-intensive proof-of-work system, concerns about environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues may not be the ideal marketing angle. Chung suggests caution in navigating the ESG controversy surrounding investing today. Conclusion: As BlackRock ( NYSE:BLK ) explores the possibility of launching an Ethereum ETF, it faces the challenge of convincing investors about the unique value proposition of Ethereum in addition to Bitcoin. Navigating the complexities of Ethereum's ecosystem, explaining concepts like smart contracts and DeFi, and addressing ESG concerns will be crucial in developing a compelling marketing strategy for BlackRock's potential Ethereum ETF. The success of this endeavor could reshape the landscape of cryptocurrency investments and further solidify BlackRock's position as a key player in the financial industry's embrace of digital assets.by DEXWireNews3
BLK : Booked a profit of 22.76% on the invested capitalBooked profits purely due to technical reasons. Market seems a bit over valued and so there is a possibility for a sell-off in the near future. So decided to take some chips off the table. Hence booked profits since the price is close to inflection points that may trigger a sell-off. Clearly aware of the fact that there is a possibility for a potential up move of about 20%, from the current levels, in the near term. But at the current situation the downside risk weighs more. Will consider a re-entry if price falls back to the low of the channel line. by Sniper-Traders2

Blackrock (NYSE: BLK) Spurring The ETF AdoptionIt’s been reported that BlackRock has engaged in preliminary discussions with Jane Street, Virtu Financial, Jump Trading, and Hudson River Trading, with regards to their potential involvement as market makers for a spot Bitcoin ETF. Amid the crypto crackdown, a BTC ETF, if approved, would open a new pathway for U.S.-based firms to get a piece of the crypto action – in a way that plays to their conventional strengths. Some of the world's largest market-making firms are in the mix to potentially provide liquidity for BlackRock's eagerly awaited bitcoin ETF if regulators approve the product, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Trading giants Jane Street, Virtu Financial, Jump Trading and Hudson River Trading have held talks with BlackRock about a market-making role, according to a BlackRock slide deck reviewed by the person familiar with the matter. Assuming the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approves some or all of the dozen or so applications for bitcoin ETFs (including the one from BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager), that would open a new pathway for U.S.-based firms to get a piece of the action in crypto – in a way that plays to their conventional strengths. Being a market-maker for ETFs, which trade on exchanges just like stocks, requires a level of sophistication and automation that only a relatively few companies can achieve. Market makers are vital to ETFs. They are responsible for creating and redeeming new shares of an ETF, a role designed to keep its price tethered to the price implied by the value of the ETF's holdings. One of the best examples of why such a create-and-redeem structure is important actually comes from crypto. Grayscale Investments offers a product called the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) whose price has over the past few years wandered dramatically far away from the billions of dollars worth of bitcoin (BTC) that it owns.

Next 6 months are important for BlackRock investors BlackRock has demonstrated strong financial performance with consistent earnings surprises in recent quarters. The company's fundamentals are robust, with impressive profit margins and returns. The stock's recent performance indicates some volatility, but the long-term trend has been positive. The company's dividend yield of 3.13% is also attractive for income-seeking investors. However, the stock's recent decline in YTD return and its position below the 200-day moving average might raise concerns for some investors. The high beta indicates that the stock is more volatile than the market, which could lead to larger price swings. Conclusion: While BlackRock has shown strong financial performance and has a solid position in the asset management industry, potential investors should be cautious due to the stock's recent volatility and its position relative to its moving averages.by Kopachelli5
