Macroeconomic Analysis And Trading Ideas
STOCKS WON'T TRULY GO UP!THE NOMINAL PRICE OF EQUITIES, PRICED IN U$Ds, MAY VERY WELL CONTINUE TO RISE AND MAKE NEW ALL-TIME HIGHS!
BUT THEY WILL NOT RISE AS FAST AS THE PRICE OF FOOD, OTHER COMMODITIES OR THE PRICE OF PRECIOUS METALS (REAL MONEY)!
THEREFORE, THEIR PURCHASING POWER WILL HAVE IN FACT FALLEN!
UP OR DOWN?INTEREST RATES WOULD RISE IF PRICES WERE TRULY DETERMINED BY FREE MARKET SUPPLY AND DEMAND!
BUT THE CENTRAL BANKS WILL MONETIZE EVERY GOVERNMENT BOND IN EXISTENCE BEFORE THEY ALLOW YIELDS TO ENDANGER THE SOLVENCY OF ANY GOVERNMENT!
IF THERE IS AN EXPLOSION IN YIELDS, FORCING CENTRAL BANKS TO ENGAGE IN UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS OF MONETIZATION, THIS WILL UNDERMINE FAITH IN THE PURCHASING POWER OF CURRENCY, LEADING TO A COMPLETE SELL-OFF IN ALL BOND MARKETS, FORCING OVERALL INTEREST RATES MUCH HIGHER!
THE INEVITABLE OUTCOME OF ALL THE ACTIONS OF THE CENTRAL BANKS AND THE OVERALL IMPLOSION OF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS CLEAR: HYPERINFLATION!
HYPERINFLATION! VOLATILITY!AMERICAN EQUITIES ARE SO COMPLETELY OVERVALUED, THEIR SHARES NO LONGER REFLECT ANY SEMBLANCE OF ECONOMIC REALITY OR POTENTIAL PROFITABILITY!
DESPITE THIS THEY MAY VERY WELL MAKE NEW ALL-TIME HIGHS, BUT ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION (THE ACTUAL RATE, OF COURSE), THEY WILL BE IMPLODING!
THIS IS BECAUSE THE DOLLAR WILL FALL SO HARD, ALL PRICES WILL RISE!
THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE ELECTION AND THE COMPLETELY VAPORIZED GLOBAL ECONOMY WILL OF COURSE CREATE A GREAT AMOUNT OF VOLATILITY IN ALL MARKETS!
BUT OUTSIDE OF BONDS, ALL PRICES WILL INEVITABLY EXPLODE! THIS IS THE SCENARIO THAT MANY EXPERTS HAVE BEEN PREDICTING FOR DECADES!
IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE FORMS OF PROTECTION, IT MAY ALREADY BE TOO LATE!
DOLLAR IMPLOSION!THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH EVIDENCE SUGGESTING AN IMMINENT DOLLAR CRASH!
FISCAL DEFICITS, FEDERAL RESERVE DEBT MONETIZATION, AN UNSOUND ECONOMY, CIVIL UNREST, POLITICAL DIVISION AND AN OVERALL ABANDONMENT OF TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES ARE ALL DOMESTIC FACTORS DIMINISHING DEMAND FOR THE U$D AND SLOWLY ERODING ITS RESERVE CURRENCY STATUS!
I BELIEVED THE DOLLAR WOULD SHOW STRENGTH HEADING INTO 2021 (AFTER ACCURATELY PREDICTING A CRASH DURING 2020), AND THIS MAY STILL OCCUR, BUT I NOW BELIEVE THE ELECTION AND THE EVENTS THAT WILL SUBSEQUENTLY UNFOLD WILL TRIGGER A TOTAL IMPLOSION OF DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATES!
HYPERINFLATION!WHOEVER WINS THE ELECTION, THE DOLLAR IS GOING TO IMPLODE!
THEY WILL MANIPULATE COMMODITY PRICES AS LOW AS THEY CAN BUT A PRICE EXPLOSION IS INEVITABLE!
Silver Trend OutlookSilver technicals and structure has an intact bullish makeup
The long-term analysis shows that silver has cleared all major resistance and should follow gold to a new all-time high within the next 6-12 months, possibly much faster.
The macro fundamentals are supremely bullish:
Negative interest rates and the beginning of a global currency war/easing cycle/competition to devalue.
Massive fiscal stimulus is on the horizon in the next 3-5 months, and not just in the US. Rest of the world is starting to catchup.
The long-term global trend towards electric, clean, and renewable energy and the sheer amount of investment required to change our energy infrastructure will require that silver goes parabolic, along with many other commodities.
There's not a lot of silver in the world. New production takes time, cannot happen overnight.
A Biden win / blue wave will mean marginally more open global trade, which is bullish commodities. It will also mean something like a green new deal, infrastructure spending, and stimulus that could cause the US economy to overdose.

MORE SELLING?THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHICH IS A BIGGER BUBBLE: EQUITIES AND REAL ESTATE? OR CURRENCIES AND BONDS?
I BELIEVE THE BIGGEST BUBBLE IS IN THE PURCHASING POWER OF CURRENCIES, BUT THERE MAY BE ANOTHER WAVE OF ILLIQUIDITY!
STOCKS AND REAL ESTATE MIGHT SELL OFF AGAIN!
PRECIOUS METALS MAY GET THROWN OUT WITH THE BATH WATER!
A GREAT RE-ACCUMULATION OPPORTUNITY WILL ARISE IN REAL ASSETS IF SO!

SILVER REMAINS KING! HYPERINFLATION!SILVER IS AND WILL BE THE BEST PERFORMING ASSET OF THE 2020s!
PRECIOUS METALS HAVE SHARPLY INCREASED IN PRICE DUE TO RISING INFLATION EXPECTATIONS!
OIL REMAINS CHEAP BECAUSE OF BROKEN AND DYING GLOBAL TRADE!
OTHER COMMODITY PRICES ARE INCREASING AS SUPPLY CHAINS COME UNDER PRESSURE AND DEMAND IS FUELED BY CREDIT EXPANSION AND GOVERNMENT DEFICITS!
CORPORATE BOND PRICES ARE BEING JAWBONED HIGHER BY CENTRAL BANK OFFICIALS AND THEIR OFF-THE-BALANCE SHEET MANIPULATION!
REAL ESTATE BOND PRICES ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY LOWER AS URBAN AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKETS HAVE ESSENTIALLY IMPLODED BUT CENTRAL BANK INTERVENTION IN CREDIT MARKETS HAS PREVENTED A COMPLETE CREDIT FREEZE AND SELL-OFF...FOR NOW!
GOVERNMENT BOND PRICES REMAIN ELEVATED AS UNCERTAINTY AND ILLIQUIDITY HAVE PUSHED CAPITAL INTO DEFENSIVE ASSETS AND CENTRAL BANKS HAVE MONETIZED DEFICITS AT AN UNPRECEDENTED PACE, BUT INFLATION EXPECTATIONS, ESPECIALLY FROM ABROAD, HAVE PREVENTED A FURTHER FALL IN YIELDS!
MEANWHILE, EQUITIES HAVE BEEN BID HIGHER THROUGH CURRENCY DARK POOLS AND FEDERAL EXPENDITURE!
THE GLOBAL ECONOMY HAS ENTERED THE GREATER DEPRESSION, AS MANY EXPERTS PREDICTED WOULD HAPPEN FOR YEARS! HOW THE NEXT DECADE PLAYS OUT WILL BE THE DEFINING EVENT OF OUR LIFETIMES! HYPERINFLATION IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT LIKELY!
U$D CRASH IN 2021-2022!WARREN BUFFET HAS BEEN DIVERSIFYING OUT OF EXPOSURE TO THE AMERICAN ECONOMY! HE RECENTLY INVESTED IN THE JAPANESE FINANCIAL SECTOR!
USD/JPY IS FORMING A MASSIVE DESCENDING TRIANGLE! THE U$D IS ENTERING A PERIOD OF UNPRECEDENTED PERIOD OF WEAKNESS!
PETER SCHIFF WILL BE PROVEN CORRECT!
Pumped for the big Bitcoin Pump - BTC Adoption and thoughtsBitcoin is 11 years old and is already changing the world of finance. I see Bitcoin reaching it's previous All Time High by March/April of 2021. If it happens sooner or later, that's fine. I'm confident this is only the beginning for Bitcoin.
In July 2020, we finally broke out of that nasty bear trend going back to the high from December 2017. We retested that trend in August again (which is a healthy move), but have since moved and stayed above it. That was painful and took soooo long! Let's please just skip that dreadful time of life next time around. Bullish feels so good! Go ahead and take a moment to appreciate those who have been able to hold on for these last few years of the journey.
There's a chance we stay in a long term equilibrium pattern on the monthly, but we are close to breaking a big resistance of $13,868 and if we do, then the all time high of $19,891 is in sights. After that, it's time to buckle up. With all the positive news and infrastructure growth in this space, things are looking bright. Yes, I expect some big drops along the way, in particular after we break the all time high, but long term, things are looking positive.
Adoption!!!
We will continue to see companies and other institutions pouring money into Bitcoin. In the grand scheme of things, it is a gradual inflow right now, but this trend will continue to gain momentum. There is quite a bit of recent news on this matter:
- Grayscale is currently purchasing 77% worth of all the newly mined Bitcoin supply, an amount that has increased every quarter this year. I can't wait for a few more halvings. Remind me again what happens to Bitcoin price when the supply gets cut in half, and then half again, and literally 1 company is buying more than is being create. The word UP is coming to my mind for some reason.
- Companies like MicroStrategy ($425 Million) and Square ($50 Million) are choosing to hold Bitcoin as an asset over holding cash. Every few days now we are hearing about more companies choosing this path.
- Paypal is bringing Bitcoin exposure to it's 350 Million customers world wide to be able to Buy/Sell/Hold and make purchases with Bitcoin. Regardless how many new customers this may bring in (hopefully the fees will be lowered once there is more competition) the effect of incorporating bitcoin into PayPal's wallet is pretty major.
- Central Banks are taking a serious look into Central Bank Digital Currencies. 1 out of 5 central banks have said they plan to incorporate digital currencies within 1-3 years. I don't imagine the United States has a lot of incentive to move forward quickly with this, given the Dollar being the dominant world currency, but it's going to happen eventually.
- Banks have been given permission by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to begin holding digital currencies. I imagine this is to allow for the digital dollar once this becomes the norm, but it also allows them to hold Bitcoin. Do you remember when banks like JPMorgan called Bitcoin a fraud just 3 years ago but now are predicting a $30,000 price for Bitcoin. Hey, even banks know that their direct competition is going to make them money.
Speaking of money, who wants some Stimulus Money!?!
I believe the answer to that should be anyone who wants to see another surge in the Bitcoin price. How many of you in the Crypto space added to your portfolio after receiving your stimulus check, or maybe even as soon as you heard that you were going to receive the stimulus check in the coming weeks.
How much more did you make by choosing to invest some portion of it in Bitcoin versus holding it in those 0.01% super charged savings accounts we're all so excited about ;) Well, most believe a second stimulus check is likely to happen again at some point. Get ready for it!
Supply and Demand, and also Inflation:
My cash seems to be confused. It is going in the wrong direction! Remember the good old days. The average house used to cost $3,200. A loaf of bread cost 7 cents. Movie tickets were 10-15 cents. Clearly I wasn't alive back then, but I've heard that's how things used to be. Inflation is nasty and it's not stopping. I mean, it's cool and all that money can be magically printed out of thin air, but except for the stimulus checks, that's not going to help any of us. Printer goes brrrrr!
Bitcoin has a cap of 21 Million coins. It's a simple statement, but the implications of this are why I chose Bitcoin. Every time someone buys bitcoin and chooses to hold it, guess what... sorry Charlie, it's no longer available for you to buy. You have to find some other foolish person who is willing to sell you their Bitcoin. I understand people trade the trends, and I'm all for that, this is TradingView after-all, but long term I want to be holding my Bitcoin, not getting rid of it. The inflation rate of Bitcoin is now approximately down to 1.8% and will become significantly better with each halving.
Fun Fact. There are approximately 46.8 million millionaires. Only half of them would ever be able to own a single Bitcoin. Also, several million bitcoin are supposedly lost forever, and some individuals and companies are already holding multiple percentages of the bitcoin supply. I will again reemphasize there will only ever be 21 million bitcoin.
Thanks for checking out some of my thoughts. I'm super excited about Bitcoin and hope there will be many more to join this community soon.
AUD bulls support threatened
AUD/USD extends its four-day losing streak into Tuesday, looking to threaten the September low of 0.7006 while wallowing in three-week lows near 0.7032.
AUD futures net positions dropped from 8.9k to 3.8k as 10k+ short positions were opened.
Growth in China is slower than expected hence Australian exports to the Asian country could be affected. This coupled with the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries threatens the strength of the AUDUSD.
The expectations of a November rate cut and or bond-buying expansion emboldened after the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) Deputy Governor Dr. Chris Kent and October meeting minutes suggested that additional easing is due on the cards.
Further pressurizing the downside in the spot, the US dollar holds onto the overnight bounce, as hopes of a potential US fiscal stimulus deal pre-election fade despite the narrowing differences between the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.
DXY net positions in the CFTC COT Weekly report turned positive last week hence we could expect a bullish dollar in the medium term, well at least until the US elections are over. Equity markets are currently on a risk on mode after erasing gains made earlier on Monday. Further concerns about the pandemic globally will keep pressure on the safe haven as more countries start to consider placing strict lockdown measures.
Weekly Review: Clueless Territory (Read for Fundamentals)Will have a week similar to the last one, irregular.
We had a decent run in the last couple weeks, and now the market is starting to feel a bit clueless, why?
- American elections are approaching
- Disappointing news about vaccines development
- Bad Brexit negotiations
- Worse control of the virus than expected
However, the underlying sentiment of the market is bullish.
- 2021 & 2022 will be years of +20% earnings growth and this will guide the markets
This week:
- Technology earnings results (which will be decent and sustain the markets)
- Stimulus package talks will advance
Markets will move laterally keeping an eye on both earnings and stimulus package while waiting for the outcome of the elections, if anything they will end slightly up this week.
CRACK-UP BOOM!CONTINUE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AS NORMALLY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN! TRADE, WORK, ENJOY THE QUALITY OF LIFE CAPITALISM HAS AFFORDED YOU!
HOWEVER, UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE OF THIS EXISTENCE, A STORM IS BREWING, ONE THE WILL FOREVER ALTER YOUR PATH!
CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE WARNING SIGNS OF HYPERINFLATION AT YOUR OWN PERIL!
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”
Weekly Review: Regaining Momentum (Read for Fundamentals)Current situation in the markets is being better than I expected.
- It may lose some momentum with the time.
Markets are starting to price in a stimulus agreement in the US.
- Which, honestly, is still far away to happen
Relationship virus – markets is starting to stabilise
In the short term, what really matters now is the stimulus agreement followed by the US elections.
From Tuesday, we´ll get some macro news. American macro is outpacing the rest of countries, Europe is not doing too badly and the UK is lagging behind.
I believe this week will not be as bullish as the last one and with the US elections, approaching the markets will start to flatten and be more cautious.
Hyperinflation!FED OFFICIALS ARE CLEARLY TRYING TO JAWBONE ALL MARKETS HIGHER!
THERE MAY BE VOLATILITY WHEN MARKETS CALL THEIR BLUFF, BUT THE FED'S CAPABILITY TO MONETIZE EVERYTHING WILL LEAD ALL PRICES HIGHER!
THIS IS WHAT AUSTRIANS HAVE BEEN PREDICTING FOR DECADES! IT WAS MOCKED AND IGNORED BUT IT IS HAPPENING! BUY PRECIOUS METALS!
CONFLICTING FACTORS!THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK CONTINUALLY SEEKS TO DEVALUE THE EURO TO BOOST ITS EXPORT INDUSTRIES!
THE FEDERAL RESERVE CONTINUALLY SEEKS TO DEVALUE THE U.S. DOLLAR TO REDUCE THE BURDEN OF ITS DEBT LOAD!
ONE OF THEM WILL SUCCEED! I BELIEVE A GRADUAL LOSS OF THE U.S's RESERVE CURRENCY STATUS WILL LEAD TO LESS TRADE BETWEEN THE EU AND THE UNITED-STATES! THIS WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR THE ECB TO DEVALUE THE EURO!
