Macro View Shows 2-4 Month Max And Then It Starts!Traders,
Some rather ominous signs are showing in various markets not least of which includes the U.S. housing market. As you know, we have been periodically tracking the USHMI as a key leading indicator to show us where and when our coming U.S. (perhaps global) recession begins. We are close if we have not already begun, but I imagine there will be no ability for denial in about 2-4 months time. Before then, markets may continue to blow off and I still expect Bitcoin to hit our 85k target. Today we'll review our USHMI chart along with other key charts for further clues mapping future trajectory.

Premium & Discount Price Delivery in Institutional TradingGreetings Traders!
In today's educational video, we will delve into the concepts of premium and discount price delivery. The objective is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of institutional-level market mechanics. Before we proceed, it is crucial to define what we mean by "institutional level" and "smart money," as these terms are often misunderstood. We will also address the common misconceptions about who the liquidity providers are in the market.
By grasping these foundational concepts, you will gain a new perspective on the market, realizing that its movements are not random but calculated and precise, orchestrated by well-informed entities often referred to as smart money.
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section below.

KRE: Regional Bank Collapse?Financials have been demonstrating some interesting price action. We believe financials in the near term could be in for some choppy negative price action.
With yields now sitting at support during the recent selloff, banks haven't done all that well.
Were now at a point in the inflation fight where we could experience an upside move in inflation.
We just witnessed today the Canadian CPI came in much hotter.
To make matters worse, were at a time when central banks like the ECB, BOC, PBOC, BOJ are all loosening policy.
However this very laxy=daisy policy is what caused Oil to bottom on June 4th.
Oil has since moved up 13% in 2.5 weeks.
This will likely cause yields to have upward pressure since its inflationary to the economy.
If the US CPI comes in hotter expect no 2024 rate cut...banks would hate that. Im eyeing the head and shoulders breakdown.
Bullish potential detected for WFCNYSE:WFC represents a potential bullish opportunity should momentum continue and newer highs be made.
Entry condition:
(i) breach of the upper confines of the Darvas box formation - i.e.: above high of $61.76 of 23rd April.
Stop loss for the trade (based upon the Darvas box formation) would be:
(i) below the support level from the low of 3rd May (i.e.: below $59.12) - most conservative exit, or
(ii) below congestion area composed of volume profile zone and rising 10 day moving average (i.e.: below $60 area).

WAL Western Alliance Bancorporation Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought WAL before the previous earnings:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of WAL Western Alliance Bancorporation prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 52.50usd strike price in the money Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-6-21,
for a premium of approximately $6.35.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
#FED causing Commercial Real Estate/ Banking CollapseCommercial real estate
"..talk of black swans of an economic nature forcing the Fed to print trillions again. Commercial real estate may be the next domino to fall. Back in 2008, default rates rose to 9%, up from 1%, as interest rates rose.
Today, the damage to commercial real estate loans which total about $2.7 trillion could be far greater. Over 40% of the US work force now works remotely since May 2020. The decline in demand for commercial properties has worsened by recent tech layoffs. The value of office sector REITs have fallen by about 55% which translates into a 33% reduction in the value of office buildings.
The default rate of between 10-20% in commercial real estate which was the lower end seen during the worst of 2008 would result in about $80-160 billion in additional bank losses. This would be ruinous for hundreds of smaller and midsize regional banks that have already been weakened by higher interest rates. The 2008 financial crisis spread from the housing sector to the rest of the economy as large banks with exposure to housing took tremendous losses.
Today, the Fed has created a moral hazard in guaranteeing depositors. Bank executives may take bigger risks if they believe the Fed will step in to protect depositors."
BLK BlackRock Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought the dip on BLK:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of BLK BlackRock prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 760usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2024-5-10,
for a premium of approximately $11.50.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
#Bitcoin if Banks go Bust (Ciao Draghi)Watch the video and original text here:
News:
''Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has tendered his resignation after populist coalition partner Five Star withdrew its support in a confidence vote.
The former head of the European Central Bank (aka SUPER MARIO of Printing) has led a unity government since February 2021.
However, the president refused to accept his resignation.''
In the meantime EURUSD is not 1.40$ anymore, it's 1$
Protests in Holland remind us of the 'Great Reset' that WHO has announced
To make things worse, the perfect storm is complete with the Ukrainian war and Europe's dependency on Russian energy. Ask the Germans for example.
So what happens to Bitcoin if the situation goes out of control?
There is a previous, very real very bad example of a small European nation going bust: The 2012–2013 Cypriot financial crisis . Also known as the 'Cypriot Haircut':
No insured deposit of €100,000 or less would be affected, though 47.5% of all bank deposits above €100,000 were seized.
They said it was exposure to Greek debt but in reality it was an attack on Russian money being laundered in the island.
This is what happened to Bitcoin then:
In other words: situation is becoming scary in Europe. Bitcoin could be a good way to prepare for the worst.
That's my personal opinion. Let me know your thoughts.

JP MORGAN -15% correction very likely.JP Morgan Chase (JPM) has been trading within a Channel Up since the October 12 2022 market bottom. Friday's high is technically at the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of that Channel Up. The 1D RSI sequence is similar to the one that led March 06 2023 High and subsequent correction.
As you can see, every Higher High rejection (two so far on that pattern) has corrected by around -15%. As a result, we expect a minimum pull-back, below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and towards the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) of -14.77%, giving us a target of 173.00. That would be exactly on the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level of the last Higher Low of the Channel Up, similar to March 23 2023.

Immediate support around 975 price area
SOFI: Bearish until channel is broken convincingly Sofi does banking differently and has great potential, but it is still a bank and banks are not a great investment right now. I don't see the price getting above the channel anytime soon. But that doesn't mean the stock is untradable. There are a couple of bearish scenarios at the moment.
1.Crash now: In this scenario price is on the intermediate C wave. In that case wave 3 should be in progress right now and price should be taking a nosedive. Breaking $6.4 will confirm the scenario.
2. Crash later: In this scenario price should complete Minor B wave triangle for intermediate wave B. In this case price should move sideways for a few more weeks before making a move higher to test the upper range of the channel. The channel might get broken as a fake out move before heading south.
Until we see another all time high on SOFI, bull case is an alternative scenario for the moment.
Standard Bank just made a huge signal to SELL to R150Standard Bank has formed an M Formation.
The nature of the analysis is down and is a sell as it's broken below the neckline and the price is below both the 20 and 200MA>
So it looks like the next target is R150.00.
FUNDAMENTALS
Fundamentals also came out today and yesterday which could influence the price and the large candle today.
Standard Bank Group Says FY Headline Earnings Per Ordinary Share At 2590.4 Cents

$PYPL turnaround storyNASDAQ:PYPL looks as if it wants to bottom. It surely has taken a beating.
Took a position in it a few days ago, waited for earnings. Could be a good turnaround story with activists.
First time, since the last 4 earnings that it didn't go lower on announcements.
Would like to see this close above 66. That would be a nice confirmation.
This could be like our NASDAQ:META call sub $100. If it is, #Paypal can go to 120-180.
$RY out of correction?A good earning report can pop the price of TSX:RY to the upper channel line.
3 reasons why?
1. A decisive move about the parallel channels line will signal the end of the correction marked by me on the chart as the abc correction.
2. But if the report is negative or more precisely the market view of the report is negative we could stay in the correction for longer.
3. MACD histogram is positive.
That's a stock that I will watch closely.
What do you think? Bull or bear here?

WELLS FARGO - LIKE really, how far can this stock go?Personally, I think a lot of banks are going to get hit really hard.
WFC is on an edge and it doesn't look good.
Here's the chart
price targets and trends are marked.
If this thing pumps to some of these rejection zones, I'd look to enter short.
Who knows, we might already have hit top.
The drop from current price to the targets low is around 40% and 60% or so from the high.
