Simple rules to understand Supports and Resistances behaviour The idea of this post is to use this current scenario to provide an idea of how to work with clear Support and Resistances zones.
a) LOOK AT THE PAST: What we mean by this is to look for zones that you can define as reversal areas (support/resistance), this must be Evident if it is not then you should not be paying attention to that chart
b) Once you have found a situation in the past that is clear enough, you can think that similarities may happen to the current scenario, For example, we would say something like: The price will reverse towards a similar level as it happened on the past
c) Be ready to be wrong: We don't know what the price is going to do precisely, BUT we can assume two situations, either will break a level, or it will reverse on a level. Let's take the previous support zone as an example. We had an evident support zone, and the price dint reversed there, BUT the price stop for a while. so we can make a rule like this:
-IF the price breaks a clear support/resistance zone; first, it will tend to stop there and make a sideways movement for a while before continuing
-IF the price reversed on a level, I should see similarities to previous situations, and I can use it as models to follow and wait for triggers or signals that I saw worked before
d)LAST RULE: The price moves between specific Support and Resistance zones following the previous 2 ideas about breaking a level or reversing on a level / Take a look how the price broke the last zone support, making a sideways movement first. After that, the bearish movement continued and now has reached the next support zone, there we should think again that both scenarios can happen, and just react to the more evident one.

About income inequalityAh, the great nations of Ethiopia and Afghanistan.
Since very low income inequality is, according the far left, the absolute peak of human development, then we can all agree that Kazakhstan, Ethiopia, Afghanistan are among the most prosperous nations of the planet, absolute powerhouses!
Every single country that tried "equality" has failed utterly. The ones that lasted longest were those with fossil fuels, and the ones that today can make it work are countries with fossil fuels (Norway...).
Sweden is not a complete failed state, this is the socialists of america main point. They have only been socialists for 10 years LOL.
Sweden is not a complete failed state YET. They have already began to decline and they barely just started with socialism...
On the other side, things are not better. The most inequal countries are in latin america and sub equatorial africa. (en.wikipedia.org www.indexmundi.com)
Here is the top 10:
You may be aware of the growing popularity of the far right in South Africa (that openly talked of killing all whites).
Who are these top 10% in most of those countries? Well that's easy. The ruling class and the ones holding the guns.
As long as the military are well armed and well paid, the rulers can keep taking everything for themselves...
Great places. But they are idiots. They keep 99% of the pie. But the pie is tiny. Not worth it.
The USA, with their current culture of overpaying CEOs, giving them golden parachutes, paying the shareholders and ignoring the workers, short term profit more more moar, are drifting towards that extreme inequality... Long term is NOT bullish.
The answer of the people of America was voting for Trump in 2016, and nearly having Bernie Sanders run for president on the left (Hilary barely beat him ~55% to ~45%). And things have gotten way worse. And until the USA goes back closer to the center things will just keep getting worse.
The right is blaming foreign nations & illegal migrants, the left is blaming straight white men. Both are (obviously) wrong and stupid. Apes.
Sweden, or some call it Swedistan, are the generational short at the moment, until something changes... I think the far right is on the rise there, maybe they jump to the other extreme. But I doubt it. Long term outlook is "it's going to ZERO", keep an eye on politics there. A change of mentality can change things very rapidely. When Germany went full fascist in the 1930s their currency and economy recovered faster than you could say "why is the margin clerk calling me".
Of course we all know what happened after that initial short term relief euphoria.
Turkey is in a downtrend and have high inequality but I am not sure about the situation there. I want to see what happens after Erdogan.
Maybe same as Venezuela after Chavez? XD RIP.
It seems logical to me that the perfect situation is in the center, but even if this is not obvious enough, history has shown that this was the most prosperous environment.
Economists agree that inequality is good, and necessary. Anyway, how is the guy that puts groceries in bags getting rewarded the same as Henry Ford fair? Lmao.
It does not matter if you agree or disagree with politics, really hate the far right NAZI and do not want their economy to go well (short term).
If you ignore facts and numbers the margin clerk will call you regardless of your views ;)
[DXY] Correlation with other pairsHi guys !
This is an other simple chart to explain the correlation between DXY and other pairs. As you know, the best exemple is with EURUSD. When EURUSD goes up, DXY goes down, and when DXY goes up, EURUSD goes down. This is because in the DXY (Dollar Index), there is more than 50 % EURUSD.
The U.S. Dollar Index is calculated with this formula:
USDX = 50.14348112 × EURUSD ^(-0.576) × USDJPY ^(0.136) × GBPUSD ^(-0.119) × USDCAD ^(0.091) × USDSEK ^(0.042) × USDCHF ^(0.036)
Thanks for your time guys !
