IMPORTANT! Bitcoin Long-term Price Projection Update!I have officially decided to update our long-term price projection for Bitcoin. A major key change is the elimination of the mini-bull market. Instead we are expecting the current bull market to develop into a major bull market. There is also a very high likelihood that this will be the only bull market for the 4th cycle. In this video we partially stepped outside of The Crypto Weather Channel world to explain our reasoning behind these changes. Thanks for watching!

Exciting Times for $ Denominated Pairs!In this video we look into DXY structure and how this is so exciting for a few USD pairs. Generally across the board on the HTF we are seeing lots of corrective patterns completing their moves. These are nearly always followed by large impulsive movements in the market which are fantastic to capitalise on. USDJPY and GBPUSD see some clear impulsive phases beginning and we forecast how those entries may present themselves. Whilst we have to remain impartial, the Macro perspective on the $ looks like we could see some weakness and the £ seems like we could see some strength. This look particularly good for GBPUSD. If the markets are pricing the future rate hikes in this coming week then we could see some big movements. If not, we might be looking at some corrective behaviour until 14th December. This will be a very interesting week, for sure. Please comment below and engage with the post - would love to hear your thoughts.

US500/SPX enters into a bear market The last time this happened was in 2018 but the market some how management to rally which resulted in a false breakout. In 2020 the market came back to this level and spiked around this area before turning into an almost 2 year rally. 2007 was a different story as market broke structure and the result was a sell of that lasted one year. What will happen in 2022? Will the bulls take control and result in the SPX hitting another all time high. Or will we see similar events of what happened in 2007 which resulted in a huge sell off that one year.

Interest Rates vs Everyone - How Crypto Can Bounce BackA pretty rough week for the markets - especially crypto. The recent dips are a result of mainstream money (crypto curious, but not necessarily dedicated) leaving the space as a response to inflation woes and the Federal Reserve planning to increase interest rates over 2022. The US housing markets are also set to slow down as well, possibly leading to a recession in the US markets and the global economy as a whole. What's the silver lining? Well, the last time the housing market dipped was in 2008-2012, which coincides directly when Bitcoin itself was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. Will the same sort of sentiment emerge as a result of fiat money crashing this time around? Time will tell.

GBP/USD - Short Sell Fundamental and Technical Set Up UpdateThe Pound has extended its weakness against the U.S Dollar as the UK economy slips closer to a recession. The UK cost of living crisis, which is down to high energy prices, rising taxes, and now higher interest rates is increasing the public mortgage, credit cards, car loans, student debt and other debt payments, causing investors to question the amount of interest rate hikes the Bank of England can deliver without causing a recession. I break this down in more detail in the video.

Will sanctions on Russia backfire on the U.S.? What about crypto- Sanctions, led by the U.S. in hopes of punishing Russian aggression may NOT have the impact the U.S. is hoping for? Could they actually backfire? - Saudi Arabia rejects Biden's request for talks on increasing oil production and instead announces that they are considering accepting Yuan instead of dollars for Chinese Oil sales (per house rules, links to sources are not allowed) - India's move to "explore" alternative payment channels with Russia to avoid sanctions (per house rules, links to sources are not allowed) - With official inflation numbers running at 8% and climbing the Federal Reserve is being forced to raise interest rates for the first time since 2018 (per house rules, links to sources are not allowed). Multiple rate hikes are projected. The last time rates were raised markets crashed and the Fed quickly reversed course. This leads many to say that the Fed won't really raise rates as much as projected, because the market won't let them, but what these people don't seem to get is that in order to finance the U.S. national debt, new debt has to be sold every year. As inflation rises countries like Saudi Arabia become more and more inclined to invest in assets that show a return or at least hold their value. This means that unless you raise the rates to a level that offsets inflation many investors will move elsewhere and you won't be able to take on new debt. Central banks are cornered. Once they start raising rates government budgets will quickly hit a wall as interest payments on existing debt become unmanageable. - This may devastate the dollar along with the U.S. economy, but it may be great for crypto

How Will Increased Interest Rates in the USD Affect Crypto? Now that the Federal Reserve seems committed to raising interest rates in response to inflation (something that they denied was a problem during 2021) we're going to see a shift in the way money is talked about in the near future. What does this mean for crypto, and the greater economy, overall? - The US growth and assets markets have been driven strongly by the availability of cheap loans since 2008, an era that is now coming to a close because the only way to avoid a hyper-inflationary economy in the USD right now is to raise interest rates. - The historic rate at which the US Treasury printed money -- largely justified through COVID woes -- is extreme and it's TBD whether or not the proposed rates will be enough to offset its after-effects. (Was initially 2%, now proposed to ~3%.) The government is broke and has no other choice. - Higher interest rates are generally bad for "risk-takers" in the market, but good for people who like to save. The idea of the government and financial sectors actively encouraging people to save, however, has been missing from the mainstream narratives for a while. Whether or not the institutions can adapt fast enough to form a holistic plan in the midst of the turmoil is yet to be seen. The condition has been around long enough that this scenario will be new to even "experienced" financial experts out there. - This presents a new economic landscape/opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors looking to capitalize on the change. But in this environment, the "slow growth" approach is likely to be more successful than the marketing-driven hype markets that has dominated the scene for the last 10-15 years. (Yes, even in crypto. ex. SHIB, NFT-hype.) - Generally speaking, countries with higher inflation rates tend to have higher crypto adoption rates as well. Will the same happen to crypto, NFTs, and metaverse -based assets? Time will tell -- but now crypto at least has the title of an "alternative asset" with the potential for high growth, especially since it's not affected by supply chain issues that traditional assets are tied into right now. - Since 2021 there have been a lot of crypto-based projects that have tied itself into the USD markets through traditional legal arrangements and contracts (as opposed to "pure" crypto investments that aren't concerned with what the traditional markets are doing right now) -- this money is more likely to run in parallel to the outcomes that fiat money will face as the interest rates start to ramp up in 2022.

Is the Metaverse a Hedge for Inflation? (ft. Dogecoin) A little while ago I argued that virtual estate and real estate were inversely correlated -- as seen in the Evergrande example in China where Evergrande stock and MANA coin criss-crossed each other in terms of its ROI. It's yet to be seen how this will play out in the US real estate market but it seems likely that we'll start to see similar patterns emerge as time goes on. The US market may take longer to unravel since it's a bigger apparatus with a lot more moving parts -- talking about it in a coherent way in itself is often a challenge. But there's been a shift in tone from both DC and the media in regards to inflation in the last week, which may be a sign that things are starting to move forward. There's basically two different scenarios that could play out in the current US economy's trajectory -- hyperinflation, or an economic slowdown brought on by the Federal Reserve after they increase interest rates significantly. (Right now the former scenario seems more likely, but that's TBD.) Either way, crypto will probably end up doing well. More details in the video itself. Also as an aside, I also argued that Dogecoin could be an inflation hedge against the crypto market itself. We saw a weird blip this week where the coin pushed itself upwards a little bit, running counter to all of the other coins out there. Will this trend continue? We'll have to wait and see.
