The US economy is resilient and it's a good thing because the world is performing really well (EX-US). Europe/China/India/Emerging Markets are outperforming the US by 15-16% YTD
The USD is having one its worst years ever in 2025
Gold, Silver, Bitcoin are great diversifiers in my opinion for 2025
Oil prices are incredibly volatile and energy stocks and commodities in turn are showing
volatility and big swings
As we near end of month and end of Q2, I have to believe the market is due for a small pause or pullback sooner rather than later - but we'll see
Thanks for watching!!!

Coffee just gave a two-bar reversal to go long6 23 25 oil just went higher presumably from what happened with Tehran... and I heard several people say that oils going a lot higher. I really don't believe that but more importantly we can use some of the tools on the chart to decide when to take trades as a buyer and a seller. there's a clear difference between the S&P and the Russell and I would treat both of them differently. Tesla is bullish but it is coming to the sellers and they talked about that in the video. there are several other markets that I looked at as well.
US Missiles Flyin'! Buy USD vs EUR GBP AUD NZD CAD CHF JPY!This is the FOREX futures outlook for the week of Jun 22-28th.
In this video, we will analyze the following FX markets:
USD Index, EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF, and JPY.
The USD is the world's reserve currency. When there are geo-political hot spots in the world, the USD sees inflows from investors. In light of US strikes against Iranians nuke sites last night, buying the USD versus other currencies is prudent and wise.
The USD should see more gains as long as the current tensions are high. If Iran comes back to the negotiations table, then the environment switches back to a risk on scenario, where the outflows from the USD go back into riskier assets like the stock market.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

Elon Musk vs Trump: Who you betting on?Elon Musk and Donald Trump have recently had a public falling-out, with their feud playing out on social media and in political circles.
The dispute seems to have started over Trump's new budget bill, which Musk has criticized for increasing the national debt. Trump, in turn, accused Musk of being upset because the bill removes electric vehicle subsidies that benefit Tesla.
The tension escalated when Trump suggested that Musk had known about the bill beforehand and had no issue with it until after leaving his government role. Musk denied this, claiming he was never shown the bill and that it was passed too quickly for proper review. Trump then took things further by threatening to cut Musk’s government contracts and subsidies, which amount to billions of dollars. Musk responded defiantly on social media, calling Trump "ungrateful" and claiming that without his financial support, Trump would have lost the election.

Bull market scenario LITECOINAt this period, I'm speaking about LITECOIN, which currently has one of the strongest bull-looking charts on cryptocurrency!
We may see the price testing Fibo's higher levels very soon...
A bull market may begin, so I recommend focusing on higher price markings...
On another market, like BTC, Ethereum, or Pepe, we do not have vivid bull pictures.
That was one of the reasons for making this trading analysis...
Enjoy!
TRVG - Basic Analysis can lead to great trade ideas!This is as simple as it gets. See a taper, be a taper!

Happy Trading :)

Gold long again: Completion of Double CombinationYesterday's long gold idea was invalidated and turns out that Gold has decided to do a double combination instead of a single A-B-C correction.
Now that I've seen a completion of a Double Combination, I think it is time to try to long gold again.
The stop is below $3240.
