*SELL-OFF WATCH. Cryptos and Equities are getting hammered as the effects of tighter monetary policy are starting to materialize in markets and the realization that the Federal Reserve may raise the funds rate beyond their 5.1%-5.2% projected terminal rate is a very real possibility. San Francisco Fed President Daly said today that her inflation projection has gone up and that she thinks we're still far away from the Fed's price stability goal ; this matches Fed Chair Powell's statement, during Wednesday's FOMC press conference, about markets and the economy not having felt the full effects of tightening yet. New York Fed President Williams said today that the still tight labor market may warrant a higher terminal funds rate than the Federal Reserve has projected (>5.1%) . The latest GDPNow US Q4 GDP estimate is 2.8%, down from 3.2% on 12/09 .
All eyes are still on CZ and Binance as he appears to be saying the same things SBF was saying about FTX, about Binance . Srutiny over whether or not Binance is actually solvent is starting to heat up in the midst of a battle of words with Kevin O'Leary (who continues to solidify his appearance as a fraudulent celebrity by defending FTX and SBF) . A class-action lawsuit was filed against Silvergate (a Federal Reserve member bank that supports cryptocurrency firms) for their involvement in transferring funds from FTX to Alameda Research , Silvergate's potential insolvency is a bearish catalyst that has yet to fully materialize in markets so it's important to keep track of this one. Russia continues to shell Ukraine's power grid infrastructure in attempt to push Ukraine into submission as the coldest of the winter months approaches.

*Markets rallied on hopes for a lower US November CPI tomorrow morning and if it's lower than in October expect for a continued rally in Cryptos and US Equities; however, if it's higher then a sharp downturn is likely. The last FOMC rate hike of 2022 will be following the day after on 12/14; if it's 50bps then a short-term rally is likely, whereas a 75bps rate hike would likely be bearish. SBF was reportedly finally arrested today in the Bahamas after pulling out from his agreement to testify to US Congress , he will be held in the Bahamas until a formal request for US extradition is made. The EU has placed sanctions on Iran for supplying Russia with drones for their attack on Ukraine in addition to their violent response to social protests .

*Risk-On markets continue to get shellacked by a combination of: expectations of rising central bank interest rates through the first half of 2023 (and perhaps beyond) and continued supply chain disruptions due to more sanctions on Russia (which influences BRICS and OPEC+) and a massive reduction in US/China trade that is currently underway. Turkey has begun to ask for proof of insurance from Russian oil tankers now that Western insurers have been stepping away, this has reportedly caused a bit of a backlog in the Bosphorus Straits. Any earnings reports are essentially a non-factor considering that many of the forecasts point to decreases in top and bottom lines across many of the heaviest weighted industry sectors for Q4 and 2023.
Putin said today that the risks of nuclear war are growing as needs for Russia to potentially use them as a "deterrent" are also growing . I really hope that this guy is taken out from inside, anybody who makes these kinds of threats that could potentially wipe out a majority (if not all) of their own people in response does not deserve to be a country's leader. Russian people should be just as scared as Ukrainians if this is the route Putin decides to take.

* The November Unemployment Rate somehow stayed at 3.7%, with Nonfarm Payrolls increasing by 263k ... in the face of ramping layoffs and hiring freezes, this is pretty astonishing. The Federal Reserve has got to be wondering how the job market has remained so resilient with a dramatic slow down in demand due to a shrinking Fed balance sheet and rising federal funds rate. Though it has yet to be seen whether the narrative has changed on a potential slowdown in rate hikes starting on 12/14 (from 75bps to 50bps).
The Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry held a hearing today on the FTX collapse ; you read that correctly, this is currently the Senate committee most responsible for overseeing Crypto regulation through the independent agency CFTC (which the committee created in 1974 to handle currencies and other nonagricultural assets). SBF is said to have met with the CFTC 10 times in the past 14 months . SBF was interview by Good Morning America on 11/30 and denied improper use of customers' funds ; this will likely come back to bite him in the ass if regulators finally get around to compiling all of the evidence against him. For one, he told Andrew Ross Sorkin at the NY Times DealBook Summit that he first "really knew there was a problem on November 6th" (start at 22 minutes) , which directly contradicts a since-deleted Tweet on 11/07 assuring people that "FTX is fine. Assets are fine" and that it was just a malicious attack by a competitor . Secondly, he claims to have no idea how his parents were listed on the deed for a $16.4m property in the Bahamas that was intended for FTX staff . US House Rep Maxine Waters candidly invited SBF to participate in the US House Committee on Financial Services hearing on 12/13 .

Volume finished today's session Moderate and favored buyers (it has favored buyers in three of the past five sessions), it's currently on track to favor sellers if it closes tomorrow's session in the red. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $1067, this margin is bearish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down slightly at 53 after being rejected just below 55.31 resistance, the next support is the upper trendline of the Symmetrical Triangle from February 2020 at ~50. Stochastic is currently crossing over bearish at 95 after forming a Double Top at max top (it is still trending in the 'bullish autobahn' so this isn't a bearish indicator yet). MACD remains bullish and is currently trending up at -14, the next resistance is at 27.77. ADX is currently trending down at 31.46 as Price is attempting to push higher, this is mildly bearish at the moment.
If Price is able to push higher then it will likely test the 50MA at ~$1333 as resistance before potentially retesting the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at ~$1375 as resistance . However, if Price breaks below $1270 minor support , it will likely retest ~$1100 as support before potentially retesting $1000 minor support .

* CRITICAL RESISTANCE WATCH/PCE INDEX WATCH . All Risk-On assets are rallying off of "dovish" remarks made by Fed Chair Jerome Powell in his speech at the Brookings Institute earlier today . To condense it, he: reiterated the same narrative that inflation has a long way to go before coming down; expects October Core PCE to fall to 5% from 5.1%; said that decreases in rate hikes can start as soon as December; the terminal FFR for 2023 will likely be higher than projected in September's meeting (5%++); and that housing-services inflation should begin to fall in 2023.
SBF was interview by Andrew Ross Sorkin who did a rather good job of asking hard questions, and to condense it, SBF denied fraudulent intentions and instead said: lawyers didn't want him to talk; it was failure of risk management; there wasn't enough oversight; he unknowingly comingled user funds; FTX US should be solvent and can process withdrawals immediately; regulations are BS; he takes prescribed "focus" drugs; he donated to both Liberals and Conservatives equally; VOX DM's were a mistake; and that he supports good journalism. Interestingly, he admitted that most journalists are Liberals, so whether he donated equally to both parties is up to debate; though most of his Conservative donations were "dark contributions" .
The last Beige Book of 2022 was released today and to condense it: most (if not all) districts expect an economic slowdown in 2023 marked by slowing demand and a tightening labor market. November US Consumer Confidence reported yesterday (11/29) and came in at 100.2, lower than 102.2 in October; with inflation and interest rate hikes expected to continue weighing on markets in 2023. The second US Q3 GDP estimate was reported today and came in at 2.9% vs 2.6% in the first estimate, this is mainly due to upward revisions in consumer spending and non-residential fixed investments.

Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $0.079, this margin is bearish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down and testing the uptrend line from December 2021 at ~61 as support after peaking at 64; if it can bounce here it would imply that the uptrend is still intact. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently trending up at 99 as it approaches a retest of max top (it's currently trending in the 'bullish autobahn'). MACD remains bullish and is currently trending up at 0.0036, the next resistance is at 0.01. ADX is currently trending up at 30 as Price pushes higher, this is bullish at the moment.
If Price is able to break above $0.112 minor resistance then it will likely aim to formally retest $0.162 resistance . However, if Price is rejected here, it will likely retest the 50MA at $0.087 as support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $0.095 .

* SUNDAY SCARIES WATCH . Cryptos are mixed today after numerous Altcoins like DOGE, REN (on rumors of Binance acquisition) and LINK rallied to start the weekend. Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman reiterated his support for Cryptos and their underlying technology . Yesterday, Vitalik Buterin transferred 40k ETH ($48m) to an unknown wallet and Justin Sun cashed out $58m worth of ETH for unknown reasons . Ukraine is still trying to restore power to major cities while Russia continues to fire missiles onto critical infrastructure. Even with this going on, Ukraine managed to host a summit in Kyiv to promote their "Grain from Ukraine" initiative which will strive to send 60 vessels full of grain exports to countries currently most vulnerable to famine and drought (including Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen). Chinese citizens continue to protest the Covid lockdowns in cities like Urumqi where the lockdowns are ironically contributing to deaths , and this morning officials in Urumqi announced that they will begin to phase out restrictions in "low-risk areas". This is after China reported a third consecutive daily record for new Covid cases .

* CRITICAL RESISTANCE WATCH . China's refusal to adapt to the reality that the virus they helped introduce to the world likely cannot and will not ever be eradicated weighed on markets yet again in a short trading day for US Equity and Bond markets. TBH I hope there is more upheaval and that Chinese citizens are able to overcome this lockdown battle that is frivolous at best. This may have bled out into Crypto markets but it was rather temporary if it did.

*Risk-On markets responded positively to the FOMC Minutes today in which most FOMC participants and staff agreed that a 50bps rate hike in December is appropriate and that the odds of a recession in 2023 are quite low at the moment. New Residential Homes sales for November came in at 632k, up 7.5% from October ; this metric is rather interesting considering that 30-year mortgage rates are currently at ~7%. November's S&P US Manufacturing PMI is 47.2, down from 50.7 in October ; this is a 30-month low and signals weakening demand (which is good in the eyes of the Federal Reserve). The UofM Consumer Sentiment Index for November came in at 56.8, down from 59.9 in October . Meanwhile, Russia continues to bombard Ukraine's power grid with missile attacks in efforts to weaken Ukrainians' resolve throughout the winter ; Moldova's power grid is connected to Ukraine's and they are now suffering too as a result.

VGXUSDT: Has it reached it's bottom?This is my 3rd publishment.
I had received a signal from my indicator that suggests that VGX / TETHERUS has potentially reached a bottom, and it may have room to move up. Even with the recent catalysts, it may be a bold prediction, but I suppose we shall see in the coming days/and weeks.
ETCUSD Potential BottomThis is my 2nd publishment, so hopefully this is helpful.
My tops/bottoms indicator had given a bottom signal a few bars ago for ETCUSD on the 30 minute chart indicating a potential increase may be coming. I don't suspect this is inherently the lowest the price may go, or perhaps it could be? I suppose we'll see.

It's very hard to say how much of the meltdown has been priced in after such a drastic and impulsive drawdown, but it seems premature to think that the spillover from the FTX/Alameda collapse is over. US October PPI increased less than expected, fueling more theories that inflation is subsiding enough for the Fed to slow its pace of rate hikes. Donald Trump just announced he intends to run for US President again in 2024.

Price is currently testing the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 as resistance, which coincides with the 100MA, at ~$1650; both resistance levels are just below $1711 minor resistance, hence why this is a critical juncture. Volume was Moderate (moderate) in yesterday's session and ended a two day streak of buyer dominance by finishing in the red. Price has broken above the VP POC and is now trading in the third largest supply/demand zone on the chart. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $1520, this margin is mildly bearish at the moment. RSI is currently forming a trough as it trends sideways at 65, just above 63 minor support. Stochastic remains bullish for a second consecutive session and is currently trending up at 73, the next resistance is at 81. MACD is currently forming a soft peak at ~73, if it falls below 57 it would be a bearish crossover. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 31 as Price is attempting to push higher, this is mildly bullish at the moment.
If Price is able to breakout above the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 + the 100MA at ~$1650 as resistance , it will have to get above $1711 minor resistance to confirm that it has broken out of the year-long descending channel. However, if Price is rejected here, it will likely retest the local low of ~$1500 as support before potentially retesting $1427 support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $1711.

* SUNDAY SCARIES WATCH . Cryptos are up with a few in rally-mode this weekend; DOGE is currently up 50% in the past 24 hours and rose as much as 80% in today's session and SHIB (riding on the coattails of the DOGE rally) and is currently up 35% in the past 24 hours. This likely has to do with Elon Musk's finalized purchase of Twitter for $44b and hopes of Twitter incorporating some kind of support for Dogecoin on their platform. It has yet to be seen if other altcoins are set for similar rallies but if they do, it'd be safe to say that it'll probably influence FOMC members' views on markets this upcoming Tuesday and Wednesday. As of now, federal funds rate speculators are still betting on a 75bps rate hike on Wednesday 11/02, but if Fed Chair Powell is to sign off on 100bps it would surely shake up this rally. Depending on what the headlines look like to begin the week, Cryptos and Equities could take another dip leading up to the FOMC statement at 2pm on Wednesday before continuing to rally if the Fed goes with 75bps and includes some dovish remarks in their statement. The alternative scenario would be that the Fed raises 100bps and includes more hawkish remarks in their statement, this would likely send Cryptos and Equities to new lows. Russia suspended the UN-brokered grain deal with Ukraine today, reigniting food supply chain woes .

Price continues to breakout from the descending trendline from November 2021 and is currently trending up at ~$20.9k as it attempts to break out of a short Bull Flag without formally testing the 50MA as support at ~$19.6k. Volume is currently Moderate (high) and is on track to favor buyers for a second consecutive session if it can close today's session in the green; Price is currently trading in the second largest VP supply/demand zone on the chart and Volume has been shrinking for five consecutive sessions, this hints at a potential impending breakout/breakdown. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $18450 (which coincides with the descending trendline from November 2021), this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI is currently trending up at 64 after bouncing off of a critical juncture (the uptrend line from November 2018 as support at ~60 which coincides with the upper trendline of the descending channel from January 2021 just above 57.34 support). Stochastic continues to be bearish for a second consecutive session and is currently testing 78 support with no signs of trough formation. MACD remains bullish and is currently breaking above the weak uptrend line from May 2021 at ~132 as it tests 313 resistance with no signs of peak formation. ADX is currently trending up at 17.5 as Price pushes higher, this is mildly bullish at the moment.
If Price is able to continue to trend up here then it will likely retest $24181 resistance which should coincide with the 100MA as resistance. However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely formally test the 50 MA as support at around $19417 support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes below) $19417.

If this week is strong for earnings and economic data (New Home Sales, GDP and PCE) comes in higher than consensus, it's reasonable for a 100bps rate hike to still be on the table; but as of now, markets are still anticipating a 75bps hike on 11/02.

Volume is currently Moderate (moderate) and on track to break a three day streak of buyer dominance if it can close today's session in the red; Price continues to trade around the POC which implies consolidation.

ADX is currently trending down slightly at 11.5 as Price is attempting to push higher, this is mildly bearish at the moment.
If Price is able to breakout above $19417 resistance , the next likely target is a retest of $24181 resistance for the first time since July of this year. However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely formally test the descending trendline from November 2021 at ~$19k as support before potentially falling to retest the uptrend line from March 2020 at ~$15k as support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $18800.
Weekly Bitcoin Analysis: Can We Rule out More Breakdowns?Bitcoin was rejected by the resistance at $19,700. The bulls don’t appear powerful enough to rally. Any substantial movement in the crypto market does not appear likely unless there is a breakthrough on either side of the current range.
Earlier this week, the SPX showed signs of a strong reversal which helped Bitcoin recover from the lows that it had formed at $18,100. However, this may not mean that the market has bottomed as the upper resistance has not yet been taken out. Therefore, a potential downside cannot be ruled out just yet.
Bitcoin then went on to test the resistance at $19,700 as seen in the chart above. The resistance proved to be too strong for the bulls to flip. It indicates that the buying volume must increase before we see a promising breakout to help take Bitcoin above $20,000.
If the upper range is broken, expect the coin to rally toward the next supply zone situated at $20,550. However, if the lower zone is broken, traders should steer clear of any long positions until the support at $18,500 is recaptured. At the time of writing, it is too early to say which side a breakout can be seen, hence, traders should wait for clear signs before taking any positions. For this reason, we will be maintaining a neutral outlook for this week!
The major points of interest to watch out for are $18,500 and $19,700.
