Gold amid rising yields and dollar strengtheningSince we last covered gold , most of our views have played out, as real yields rose and dollar strengthened significantly. As central banks remain committed to fighting the greatest inflation seen in decades, we see continued headwind for the yellow metal. Going back to our real-yield and dollar analysis framework, we see 2 key points. Firstly, real yields have increased significantly as US Interest rates rise at unprecedented levels due to back-to-back rate hikes. Central bankers have continued to pre-empt the markets on the rates hiking path, and we see no reason for the US Federal Reserve to change its stance anytime soon. Thus, we think that real rates are likely to continue upwards. Secondly, the dollar is now trading at a 20-year high. With no major resistance until the 120 level, we see a clear path upwards as the backdrop of higher yield continues to favor the dollar. Looking at the charts we see a potential double top chart pattern, for gold. With the first peak slightly higher than the second and current prices trading near the neckline, we think the bearish set-up is almost complete for gold and prices are likely to decline from here. Barring any surprise data points from now till the next FOMC meeting in 2 weeks’ time, it is highly likely for the Fed to continue its hiking path which will drive real rates & the dollar higher. This presents a strong headwind to gold which could tip lower if we see a clear break of the neckline. As such we think gold is caught between a rock (higher yields) and a hard place (stronger dollar). Entry at 1723, stop at 1830. Target at 1530 and 1360.

As policies continue to diverge…For readers who have been following us right from our first ever TradingView idea, you’ll recall our first ever trade idea on long USDCNH. It’s been a fun 5 months writing and sharing our thoughts with the community. Much has happened since April, but two critical things stayed the same. The US Federal Reserve remains hawkish, raising rates, while the PBoC remains dovish, continuing with its easing stance. The result? USDCNH trading beyond the 6.9 level, surpassing both our target levels. With the next Federal Reserve meeting coming up, we think it’s time to review this idea again. The CME FedWatch Tool allows us to gauge what market participants are expecting the Fed to do. The prevalent consensus seems to be that the Fed is likely to raise rates till the end of the year before holding rates at the 3.75 – 4.00 % level for the next year. On the other hand, the PBoC has continued to ease, cutting reserve requirement ratios & lowering its medium-term lending facility. With China still battling Covid via lockdowns, persistently low inflation numbers, and weak economic numbers, we see further easing on the cards from PBoC. Looking at the charts, the USDCNH pair has just completed a symmetrical triangle chart pattern. After breaking out to the upside and a brief pull-back, prices continued upwards with strong momentum. Using classical charting techniques, the target levels for the breakout can be set to the distance of the high and low of the symmetrical triangle and applied to the top of the triangle. With the target price of 7.1180, there is still upside for this trade. It seems that policy divergence will remain for these two major economies, which is likely to strengthen the USD and weaken the CNH further, driving up the USDCNH pair. Using technical to identify target levels where we will be comfortable, we think that there is room for more upside. Entry at 6.9500, stop at 6.8545. Target at 7.1180.

CME Reportables for BitcoinThe CME report for the 23rd to 30th of August came out Friday and saw interesting price action from Bitcoin. Another approximate 1k range is currently between 20.4k and 19.3k. This is similar to the previous range of 21.8k to 20.8k. As of the report, Exchanges (Dealers/Intermediaries) increased their Longs by a massive 293%. The change in Shorts being negligible could indicate an interest in holding the current lows. Asset Managers / Institutionals are still closing their long positions and adding shorts however given that the majority of their Long positions were created in November, December, and again in March they are currently very out of position and this seems to be an act to hedge themselves and mitigate risk. This can be seen as they have closed 1306 positions or 18% of their Longs since August 16th. 2 CME Gaps in Price Action still exist from November and December of 2020 at 17k and 18k. With the majority of low leverage liquidity from July and August under the current low at 19.3k a breakdown in price would occur swiftly to test lows from the beginning of July. Until this range is confirmed broken, then the Support at 19.3k and 20.4k is still valid. A word of caution; Be very careful Shorting into Support or Longing into Resistance. Wait for confirmation of range break and assume it is a fakeout until it is confirmed as a breakout.

Is the selloff over?We wouldn’t blame you if you mistook the lumber price chart with a cryptocurrency. Down more than 70% from its peak in May 2021, lumber’s had astonishing volatility over the past few years. On a longer-term chart, the 460 handle represents a very long-term support/resistance level. With current Lumber prices just shy of this major support level of 460, could we see a breakout higher? Previous 2 attempts to break this level were rejected sharply and a huge rally ensued. Additionally, current RSI readings indicate oversold levels which have been useful in picking the past few bottoms. Overall, we think that lumber could be primed for a move up as it edges closer to the major long-term support level. Entry at 475, stops at 435. Target at 630.

⚡️ #BTCLIVE - 02/08 ⚡️⚡️ #BTCLIVE - 02/08 ⚡️ 70:30 Bearish:Bullish At the start of the day I would have been more split in the decision between bull:bear sentiment. Although with the announcement of the WBTC and WETH hacks along with Pelosi visiting Taiwan that may come to nothing - but with everybody already so on edge I feel this will knock the markets on a wider scale at least on the short term. With so little information it is easier to assume the worst. Bearish Scenario Breaking down below the 20DEMA at approx. 22.5k will likely see a bigger drop to the lower long term range at about 21.3k - where it will be make or break as breaking down can see a longer term bear flag form and then it will be blood on the streets again with sub $20k back on the cards Bullish scenario With a new smaller CME gap set up at 23.7k and the weekly pivot filled along with a potential bounce off the 20DEMA we can see this scenario play out although it is likely we will need to bullish news to fuel this which there really isnt atm. If we do break up and break out of the range at $25k onwards then the higher CME gap at $27.3k is the target here. Volume is descending and we are consolidating in the short term right now so the next move is going to be quite big and fast

Short the Hog Margin If You Expect Lower Pork PriceCME:HE1! CBOT:ZC1! CBOT:ZM1! On August 1st, USDA Daily Hog and Pork Report shows that benchmark Iowa Carcass Base Price averages $128/cwt. This is a 15% increase year-over-year, and a whopping 70% higher than the five-year average of $75. Is pork still affordable? Meanwhile in the futures market, while August Lean Hog contract (HEQ2) is quoted at $120.50/cwt, October (HEV2) is sharply lower at $97, and December (HEZ2) is even lower at $87.80. Do we expect pork price to fall a few months down the road? Let’s find out what moves pork price. We start with hog production. It consists of five phases: 1. Farrow-to-wean 2. Feeder pig 3. Finishing 4. Breeding stock 5. Farrow-to-finish Pork price fluctuates following a cobweb pattern due to production lags and adaptive expectations, according to Cambridge economist Nicholas Kaldor. When prices are higher, it draws more investments. However, due to breeding time, there is lapse in the cycle. Eventually, market becomes saturated, leading to a decline in prices. Production is thus decreased. Again, this leads to increased demand and prices. The Hog Cycle repeats, producing a supply-demand graph resembling a cobweb. Hog farmers make business decisions based on their expectations of production profit, which is called Hog Crush Margin . It is defined by the value of lean hog (LH) less the cost of weaned pig (WP), corn (C) and soybean meal (SBM). Below is a sample formula. HCM = 2 x LH - WP - 10 x C -.075 x SBM In futures market, traders could replicate the economic hog crush margin with a Hog Feeding Spread involving CME lean hog (HE), CBOT Corn (ZC) and CBOT Soybean Meal (ZM). There is no futures contract for weaned pig (piglet). The size of relevant futures contracts: HE, 40,000 lbs.; ZC, 5,000 bushels; and ZM, 100 short tons. A typical hog feeding spread is 7:3:1, which may be expressed as: Hog Feeding Spread = 7 x HE – 3 x ZC – 1 x ZM If you expect hog margin to grow, Long the feeding spread: Buy lean hog, sell corn and soybean meal. For a shrinking margin, Short the spread: Sell hog, buy corn and meal. According to Chicago-based consultancy CIH, hog margin for July 1st-15th was $16.74. Margins surged over the first half of July as hog futures rallied while projected feed costs mostly trended sideways during this period. I expect a narrower hog crush margin going into 2023. It may likely turn negative. My theory : On the one hand, corn and soybean meal prices may fall but stay elevated. Russia-Ukraine conflict, bad weather and supply chain bottleneck present real risk for global food supply shortage. On the other hand, pork price could fall faster than feed ingredients. The combined effect is a narrowing hog crush margin. Several factors are at work: Firstly, the hog cycle. Higher price this year will induce more production next year, eventually lowering price. Secondly, with hyperinflation and a pending recession, we should expect substitution effect. Consumer would choose lower-priced protein over pork, reducing pork demand. Finally, China is the wild card. China is the world's largest pork producer. In 2018, it produced 54 million tons (MT) of pork, accounting for 45% of global pork production. With the outbreak of African Swine Fever starting in August 2018, it is estimated that half of China’s hog stock was wiped out over the next year. Pork production in 2019 was 42.55 MT, down 21%. To make up for the shortfall in domestic supply, China began buying pork in the global market in a big way. Frozen pork import grew from 1.19 MT in 2018, to 2.11 MT in 2019 (+75%), and 4.39 MT in 2020 (+108%), which took up half of global pork trades that year. CME lean hog rallied 60% in 2019. More buying from China means more pork demand in Americas and Europe. Global pork price and pork futures price both went up as a result. However, the party did not last long. China’s large hog firms aggressively racked up production capacity with government support. Muyang Group SZSE:002714 , the largest hog producer in the world, grew sales from 9 million hogs in 2019, to 18 million in 2020 (+100%), and 40 million in 2021 (+120%). It is on track to produce 55-60 million hogs this year (+38%~+50%). With domestic production largely recovered, China reduced pork import to 3.71 MT in 2021, down 15%. For the first six months in 2022, China imported only 810,000 tons, down 65% from the same period in 2021. China’s pork price has doubled from its February low. Again, with the Hog Cycle at work, there will be an oversupply of pork next year, further reducing the need for import. We could examine corn price trend further. Corn generally traded in the range of $3 to $4.50 per bushel but shot up to $7 in May 2021. It broke record again this year at $8 per bushel in April. I expect the corn price to fall but stay elevated from previous-year level. Soybean Meal is 50% higher than two years ago. Again, I expect it to fall but stay higher than pre-2020 level. Happy Trading.

Commitment of Traders Report from 19 to 26 July The CME report from Tuesday the 26th of July to Tuesday the 19th of July came out The reportable figures from the Dealers/Intermediaers (Exchanges/Brokers) and the Asset Managers/Insitutionals show negligible increases in Longs/Shorts BUT The SPREAD increase is nearly a 90% increase for said Exchanges/Brokers as well as a 62% increase in spreads for Asset Managers/Institutionals A simple way of understanding Spreads: A higher (wider) spread means there is a bigger difference between bid-ask (buy-sell) prices whereas a lower (more narrow) spread means there is a smaller difference between bid-ask (buy-sell) prices tighter spreads are a sign of greater liquidity, while wider bid-ask (buy-sell) spreads occur in less liquid or highly-volatile stocks Because of this - The current upwards move seems to be less volatile than the previous down move Theory - Exchanges and Institutions bet heavily on the current low volatility upside move

Can Interest Rate Be Traded Or Invested?How can we participate in the rise and fall of interest rate? Firstly, we need to understand the difference between interest rate and yield. Interest rates are a benchmark for borrowers whereas yield is for investors or lenders. • Interest rates are the fees charged, as a percentage from a lender for a loan. • Yield is the percentage of earnings a person receives for lending money. Both move in tandem together, meaning if yield moves higher, interest rates will follow. Discussion: • Direction of the Yield in the short-term and • Direction of the Yield in the long-term Divergence in a bull market means the bull is losing its momentum, keep a look-out for trigger points that may cause further stress to the market. Micro 10-Year Yield Futures 1/10 of 1bp = US$1 or 0.001% = US$1 3.000% to 3.050% = US$50 3.000% to 4.000% = US$1,000 Note: Micro Treasury futures are not micro-sized U.S. Treasury securities. They convey no rights of ownership, nor or they pay or accrue interest.

Nasdaq a leading indicator of Dow Jones, S&P and RussellHow to use related markets to complement each other? Definitely you can apply this technique to other related markets. In this tutorial, I am seeing Nasdaq as a leading indicator for the rest may likely to follow. i) Nasdaq bear trend was nicely formed, but not yet for the Dow Jones, S&P and Russell. ii) Nasdaq in the short-term has also a confirmation for a rebound, and I believe the rest of the indices likely to follow subsequently. Discussion: • Drawing primary and secondary trendline • Nasdaq has broken above, the rest should catch-up, why?

Commitment of Traders Report from Last Week - BTC UpdateGoing over the CME Gap that exists above us as well as the current Price Action. BTC failing it's swing was a great short after we short squeezed to the level. Swings, S/Rs, and Demand Zones are being respected perfectly. Scalping in this zone don't do anything except look for mechanical failures and retests/gains. Low liquidity expected. Lose or gain the Swing Levels then target the stuff above and below Otherwise look to play the bounces within these Swings.

Market Range - What are they trying to tell us?When the market range, it is telling us they are lost with the main direction. And we are seeing that between all the US major stock indices and many stocks since the second week of May. Prices basically still trading around the same price since then. In today’s tutorial, we will discuss: • How to identify when market started to enter into a range and • Which direction will it ultimately break away from a range market? The concept of “Less is More” When we trade into a contract that is within our means, we will be able to focus on trade set-up that is so helpful for entry, stop loss and profit taking than trying to manage our emotions as we have over traded.

BTC CME Gap What is CME Gap? (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) ( CME ) A CME gap is created when the price of Bitcoin opens above or below the previous day's close on the CME exchange. One of the prime reasons for CME gap creation is that CME markets remain closed over the weekend and during a part of the day. Bitcoin, on other spot exchanges, is traded 24×7. Historically, the percentage of CME gaps that get filled is between 60-80%. Hence, using it as an indicator provides you with a degree of accuracy. A review of previous events could shade more light on this claim. There is a possibility of a reversal because the GAPS are filled This is my idea. I have tried my best to bring the best possible outcome to this chart, Do not consider it FINANCIAL ADVICE. This chart is likely to help you in making better trade decisions. I am not a market maker I could be wrong. Everything is on the chart. Thank you
