Beyond Technical Analysis

Nifty 50 - AnalysisAs Nifty approaches a 10% fall from ATHs, it may be entering a period of technical correction, with the mid-cap, and small-caps already entering this phase. On the weekly, Nifty has broken its prior HL, which means we could see a move back up, establishing a potential LH, and then another move down towards the 23600-500 levels or we view 24500 as a LH, which will need to be broken for Nifty to shift trends. On the weekly, we have seen sharp selling, with the daily chart still not being able to get out of the downtrend, as it's forming new LHs and LLs. On the daily, ideally Nifty should hold above 24,500 to break trend. However, we have seen 23800s hold quite well as support in the past, so this can potentially be a zone of consolidation, a small reversal, or a period of accumulation on stocks that are holding structure and displaying relative strength If you look at the 4h chart, as per the Fixed Range Volume Profile, we see 3 key levels (marked in red and blue), showing the value areas so far. Price tends to come back towards the middle of the range, at around 24430 so that is a key level to look at. However, that was just a bear flag which suggested today's large move down towards the 23800s.

Is This the Final Chapter in Buffett's Tech Journey?Warren Buffett’s once unshakeable partnership with Apple seems to be reaching a critical juncture, leaving market watchers with more questions than answers. For years, Buffett and his Berkshire Hathaway embraced Apple, with Buffett even calling it “the greatest trade of all time.” Yet, with Berkshire’s recent decision to reduce its stake by a staggering 67%, the dynamic is shifting. While initial statements attributed the sales to tax planning, the sheer scale hints at a deeper strategy. This raises the question: is this a calculated portfolio rebalancing or the beginning of a more profound shift in Buffett’s investment philosophy? The timing of these sales isn’t random. Apple now faces several hurdles, from slower growth projections in a competitive smartphone market to increasing regulatory scrutiny in the U.S. and Europe. The conglomerate’s move coincides with Apple's potential weaknesses, suggesting Berkshire is not immune to the broader industry concerns, such as competition in China and challenges in artificial intelligence—a field where Apple appears to be lagging. Interestingly, some experts speculate that the recent passing of Charlie Munger may have influenced Buffett’s decision. Munger, who historically favored Apple, played a pivotal role in Berkshire’s tech investments, balancing Buffett’s more cautious stance on technology. Now, Berkshire’s shift could signal a strategic return to its foundational values, preferring stability over tech’s unpredictable currents. As Berkshire Hathaway maneuvers through these adjustments, Apple remains its largest equity holding, hinting that Buffett hasn’t fully turned his back on the tech giant. But with record cash reserves and a keen eye on emerging opportunities, the next steps Berkshire takes could redefine not just its portfolio but perhaps even broader investment trends in the years to come.

Gold Shines Amid Political and Geopolitical UncertaintiesGold trades in positive territory on Monday, supported by risks surrounding the upcoming U.S. presidential election and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. These uncertainties enhance gold's appeal as a traditional safe-haven asset, attracting investors looking to shield their portfolios. In the short term, these factors are likely to keep gold’s price elevated. However, the upside for gold is capped by renewed demand for the U.S. dollar and rising U.S. Treasury yields, which make non-yielding assets like gold less attractive. Higher yields increase the opportunity cost of holding gold, thereby limiting its potential for significant gains. Investors are closely monitoring the presidential election on Tuesday, as well as the Federal Reserve’s upcoming rate decision on Thursday. Market expectations lean toward a moderate 25-basis-point rate cut from the Fed, reflecting caution amid electoral uncertainties. This approach could further temper gold’s gains if the dollar remains strong. In summary, while political and geopolitical risks lend support to gold, its upside is constrained by a strong dollar and rising yields, making investors cautious about heavy positioning ahead of key events this week.

Singapore’s EV Market Poised for Leadership in Southeast Asia?Singapore is set to become Southeast Asia’s largest electric vehicle (EV) market, with an estimated 80% of its passenger vehicles expected to be electric by 2040, according to BloombergNEF. This significant market shift underscores Singapore’s commitment to sustainable transportation, placing it far ahead of regional peers, where the average EV market share will likely reach just 24%. The Lion City already leads Southeast Asia in EV adoption, with EVs making up about 32.1% of new car registrations within the first seven months of 2024. In 2023, EVs comprised 19% of total vehicle sales, highlighting the growing consumer shift towards cleaner energy vehicles. Singapore also boasts the highest density of EV charging infrastructure in the region, with one public charger for every three EVs. By comparison, Thailand has a charger for every 16 EVs, Malaysia one for every 38, and Indonesia one for every 42. This extensive charging network alleviates concerns around charging accessibility, a common challenge in EV adoption, and demonstrates Singapore’s proactive steps to support its EV market expansion. Driving Factors: Falling Battery Prices and Policy Support A key enabler of EV adoption is the reduction in battery prices, the most expensive EV component. BloombergNEF projects that battery prices will fall by 17% every time the cumulative number of batteries produced doubles, significantly decreasing EV costs. From 2010 to 2023, battery pack prices dropped by 90%, making EVs more affordable and competitive with petrol-powered vehicles. Supportive government policies also bolster Singapore’s EV market growth. Policies include banning new diesel-powered cars and taxis from 2025, implementing a certificate of entitlement (COE) system to encourage vehicle turnover every ten years, and mandating that all new car and taxi registrations from 2030 must be cleaner-energy models. These strategies align with Singapore’s Green Plan, which aims for 60,000 EV charging points by 2030 and 100% clean-energy vehicles by 2040. Comparative Growth and Regional Trends Across Southeast Asia, the EV market has been expanding, driven in part by Chinese automakers such as BYD, Great Wall Motor, and GAC Aion, which are setting up manufacturing facilities in Thailand. Although Thailand currently leads the regional EV market in sales numbers, with over 86,000 EV units sold in 2023, Singapore is expected to lead in market share percentage. In total, Southeast Asia saw more than 153,500 passenger EV sales in 2023, including 5,734 units in Singapore. Transport economist Professor Walter Theseira attributes Singapore’s rapid EV adoption to the COE system, contrasting it with other Southeast Asian countries where vehicles are often kept for longer. Singapore’s vehicle turnover model, coupled with policies promoting EV use, has created a supportive environment for sustained EV growth. Future Opportunities for EuroSports Global Ltd. and Nio Inc. As the demand for EVs continues to rise in Singapore, companies like EuroSports Global Ltd. and Nio Inc. stand to benefit. EuroSports Global, a local leader in luxury and performance vehicle distribution with its own in-house Scorpio Electric Vehicle brand, has the potential to leverage Singapore’s growing market for high-performance EVs. Meanwhile, Nio Inc., a prominent Chinese EV manufacturer, could find new opportunities to expand its presence and meet demand in Singapore, given the city-state's openness to international EV brands and its alignment with clean energy goals. With its robust infrastructure, government support, and ambitious clean-energy targets, Singapore is well on its way to becoming Southeast Asia’s leading EV market, setting a compelling example for neighbouring countries aiming for sustainable growth.

GBP/USD Longs from 1.28000 as a retracement. This counter-trend idea comes from the fact that price is currently reacting at an old supply zone. However, if this supply fails, I wouldn’t be surprised to see price move up and take out the trendline liquidity above. Ideally, I’d prefer to wait for price to come down to the demand zones to mitigate before aiming for a move up to capture the liquidity pool. I’ll be watching for signs of Wyckoff accumulation within my points of interest, particularly at the 55-minute or 18-hour demand zones, depending on how price behaves. Confluences for GBP/USD Buys: - Significant trendline liquidity to the upside that could be targeted. - Demand zone has led to a break of structure on the upside. - Price has been heavily bearish and may be due for a pullback. - Several untouched Asian session highs above. P.S. With upcoming news, including NFP and election events, I’ll likely stay on the sidelines unless a very clear setup emerges, and even then, I’ll keep risk minimal.

7 Reasons i told you GOLD will GrowUPDATE! UPDATE! You might have a PhD or Highly Educated & thousands of Publications, But can you read the future?? Hello Traders, I Thought I will Leave this here for you! Please Like, Comment and share is you thought it was useful to you! 7 Reasons Gold will continue to Grow Correlation to Inflation Certainly, during times of economic crisis, investors flock to gold. When the Great Recession hit, for example, gold prices rose. But gold was already rising until the beginning of 2008, That said, gold prices rose further, even as the economy recovered. Essentially that means, as more people buy gold, the price goes up, in line with demand. It also means there aren't any underlying "fundamentals" to the price of gold. If investors start flocking to gold, the price rises no matter what shape the economy is or what monetary policy might be. That doesn't mean that gold prices are completely random or the result of herd behavior. Some forces affect the supply of gold in the wider market, and gold is a worldwide commodity market, like oil or coffee. Supply Factors Unlike oil or coffee, however, gold isn't consumed. Almost all the gold ever mined is still around and more gold is being mined each day. If so, one would expect the price of gold to plummet over time, since there is more and more of it around. So, why doesn't it? Aside from the fact that the number of people who might want to buy it is constantly on the rise, jewelry and investment demand offer some clues. "It ends up in a drawer someplace." The gold in jewelry is effectively taken off the market for years at a time. Even though countries like India and China treat gold as a store of value, the people who buy it there don't regularly trade it (few pay for a washing machine by handing over a gold bracelet). Instead, jewelry demand tends to rise and fall with the price of gold. When prices are high, the demand for jewelry falls relative to investor demand. Central Banks Big market movers of gold prices are often central banks. In times when foreign exchange reserves are large, and the economy is humming along, a central bank will want to reduce the amount of gold it holds. That's because the gold is a dead asset—unlike bonds or even money in a deposit account, it generates no return. The problem for central banks is that this is precisely when the other investors out there aren't that interested in gold. Thus, a central bank is always on the wrong side of the trade, even though selling that gold is precisely what the bank is supposed to do. As a result, the price of gold falls. Central banks have tried to manage their gold sales in a cartel-like fashion, to avoid disrupting the market too much. Something called the Washington Agreement essentially states that the banks won't sell more than 400 metric tons in a year. It's not binding, as it's not a treaty; rather, it's more of a gentleman's agreement—but one that is in the interests of central banks, since unloading too much gold on the market at once would negatively affect their portfolios. ETFs Besides central banks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs)— which allow investors to buy into gold without buying mining stocks—are now major gold buyers and sellers. Both ETFs trade on the exchanges like stock and measure their holdings in ounces of gold. Still, these ETFs are designed to reflect the price of gold, not move it. Portfolio Considerations Speaking of portfolios, A good question for investors is what the rationale for buying gold is. As a hedge against inflation, it doesn't work well. However, seen as one piece of a larger portfolio, gold is a reasonable diversifier. It's simply important to recognize what it can and cannot do. In real terms, gold prices topped out in 1980, when the price of the metal hit nearly $2,000 per ounce (in 2014 dollars). Anyone who bought gold then has been losing money since. On the other hand, the investors who bought it in 1983 or 2005 would be happy selling now. It's also worth noting that the 'rules' of portfolio management apply to gold as well. The total number of gold ounces one holds should fluctuate with the price. If, for example, one wants 2% of the portfolio in gold, then it's necessary to sell when the price goes up and buy when it falls. Retaining Value One good thing about gold, is that the purchasing power of gold has stayed quite constant and largely unrelated to its current price. The Bottom Line If you're looking at gold prices, it's probably a good idea to look at how well the economies of certain countries are doing. As economic conditions worsen, the price will (usually) rise. Gold is a commodity that isn't tied to anything else; in small doses, it makes a good diversifying element for a portfolio.
