How a Housing Market Crash Equals New Stock Market HighsTraders,
I believe this chart is so important it warrants revisiting the data. Indeed, the fed has to be cognizant of this same data and is most certainly is watching it closely. Therefore, we must do the same. In this video, I am going to explain why the housing market data, even though it's week, supports my thesis of a blow-off top in the stock markets this summer.

FOMC
TSLA Re-Accumulation to Big DistributionTopping reversal candle on the 4 hr. I see Bullish and Bearish scenarios- * Yes Tesla can go to $180 first, it has to happen before Wednesday
Bearish- pullback and double top , Rising Wedge or complete breakdown from here.
Bullish-continuation on new support trend-line past $200… to confirm V bottom recovery (Tsla is one of few stocks that will be green while Markets go red)
*** everything dependent on Markets to confirm Bull cycle or to fade the rally and begin the Final leg Down of Correction.
My Thesis,( until price action delivers a different scenario)-
I’m leaning Bearish, but with a possibility of higher high along with Bearish Divergence confirmation. Just to accumulate more retail liquidity before February selloff -Smart Money began buying in December- taking profits in February lines up with lower Tax on gains and portfolio rotation
I believe economic data or FOMC will maintain hawkishness and rug-pull the markets next Wednesday.
Macro Data:
- NYSE advance decline is supporting weakness in markets
-Retail & Smart money are completely divergent
-Put/Call ratio beginning to favor Bears
-Vix bullish divergence setup forming
-DXY, 10yr & 2yr bond yields are all rising with markets
-HYG Bonds are falling while markets advance
-Retail influx & euphoria is at highest level since 2021 & 2022 August high (LARGE SELLOFF)
- Feb & March seasonally are sell-off & Volatility spikes until April
***Everything is pointing to a Large pullback or “The Final” leg of Bearish Correction

Ask yourself one question: who else do you know that can predict price movement 120+ days into the future?
Here we go.
EUR/USD inches closer to 1.10 ahead of FOMC and ECBWe are heading into a potentially very volatile 24-hour period, with the Fed set to kick things off today, before the BoE and ECB make their policy decisions on Thursday. The EUR/USD and GBP/USD will thus be in focus. The trend for both remains bullish heading into these central bank meetings, but let’s focus on the EUR/USD here.
All eyes on Jay Powell and FOMC
The EUR/USD has remained inside a tight range over the past several days, with 1.0900 area offering resistance and 1.0800 support. Ahead of the FOMC, it has tried to break away above 1.09 handle, although the bullish momentum has understandably been weak with most traders sitting on their hands until the Fed decision is out of the way. I think there is a good chance we could see a bullish break out soon with 1.1000 likely to be the main short-term objective, owing to further weakness in US data. But on FOMC days, there’s usually a bit of volatility before the trend resumes. So, don’t dismiss the potential for another dip before the resumption of the bullish trend.
The FOMC is expected to reduce the pace of hiking further, to 25 basis points at the conclusion of its meeting today. The policy statement will be released at 19;00 GMT, with Jay Powell’s presser to start half an hour later. The Fed Chair is likely to keep further hikes on the table and lean against bets they will cut later this year, something which may get interpreted as being hawkish. But as we have seen in recent Fed meetings, the market has been quick to dismiss the Fed’s hawkishness and price in a lower terminal interest rate. Are we going to see a similar response this time, too?
More signs of weakening US economy
Well, the weakness in US data continued today, with the ADP payrolls printing its lower number since last January at 106K vs. 170K eyed. On top of this, the ISM manufacturing PMI fell deeper in the contraction territory, printing 47.4 vs. 48.0 expected and 48.4 last. Worryingly, new orders contracted at a faster pace too, printing 42.5 vs. 45.1 in December. Employment in the sector declined.
Today’s weaker ADP and ISM data follow several other weaker-than-expected data on Tuesday, all helping to re-enforced expectations that the Fed will be more inclined to stop its hiking cycle sooner. Employment Cost Index, a key measure of wage inflation, rose by 1% q/q, which was weaker than expected, while the latest Chicago PMI reading (44.3 vs. 45.1 expected) and CB Consumer Confidence index (107.1 vs. 109.1 expected) both also disappointed.
Focus will turn to ECB next
The European Central Bank is set to hike interest rates by 50 basis points on Thursday, lifting the Main Refinancing Rate to 3.0% from 2.5% currently. While this is fully priced in, there’s still a lot of uncertainty in terms of forward guidance, which is what will ultimately determine how the markets react on Thursday. Given the recent weak indicators from Germany, it looks like growth at the Eurozone’s largest economy has weakened again, which could be an indication for what’s to come in the early parts of this year. As a result, the ECB will not want to be too aggressive in its forward guidance, especially as other central banks have now either slowed the pace of tightening or paused it. That said, given that inflation remains very high here compared to the US, the ECB is going to tighten its policy at least a couple of more times before pausing. This should help provide support for the euro on the dips.
How will the markets react to the ECB decision?
So, the interest rate decision should be a straight-forward 50 basis point hike. Let’s take a look at various scenarios insofar as the forward guidance is concerned.
Investors will want to know whether the ECB is going to fully commit itself to another 50-bps hike in March and at its next meeting.
1) If so, this should send the EUR/USD 100-200 pips higher on the day, above the 1.10 handle, and cause the DAX and other European indices to slump.
2) The second scenario would be if the ECB keeps the door open for 50-bps hike in March but provides a less hawkish forward guidance for its subsequent meetings. This would probably prevent the EUR/USD from moving too much away from 1.10 handle and keep equity market bulls somewhat happy.
3) The third scenario would be if the ECB does not pre-commit to any further 50-bps hikes and instead suggest that the pace of tightening will slow down. In this scenario, the EUR/USD should drop sharply, perhaps by 100-200 pips in initial response to around 1.0700, while the DAX could surge by 2% or more.

Bitcoin movement in FOMC! So right now Bitcoin is bullish + bearish as well it's upon whales now how they are going to play BTC and FOMC results, higher changes are for 25BPS well let me tell you what mindset you should have right now!
Till the time we don't break the 21430-21300 key support level don't be bearish
Right now I am still Bullish on bitcoin and I am hedging the trades just because I have my long-running from 21500
Again be bullish till we break the support of 21300 ✅
Can Dow Jones Rise Above Falling Trend Line?It's FOMC day! The markets have already priced in the 25bps rate hike so Powell's speech will be the most important thing today. A dovish Fed can help Dow Jones break the falling trend line and finally see acceptance above the resistance level of 34000. While I'm expecting a dovish speech from Powell today, the inflation fears are slowly fading away and recession fears are taking over, so in this environment, it's best to trade with minimized risk on stocks.
USDJPY H4 - Short Signal USDJPY H4 - Depending on the way the FED sways later on this evening, will no doubt impact this pair, whilst the dollar has whipsawed somewhat, the YEN is holding it's own against the dollar, a typical scenario where we are seeing a firefight between two relatively bullish pairs for the moment, ideally we want to sell something knowingly weak against something knowingly strong. However, it's worth keeping an eye on this pair from this key trading zone around the time of the FOMC
DXY H4 - Long SignalDXY H4 - Breakout seen last night, which saw us follow gold from $1900 to $1920/30 respectively. Exhaustion seen and that's where we posted the short signal from. $1930, hopefully down towards $1900 support and possibly beyond, depending on the outcome and projections from the FED later on this evening. Not entirely sure how much the USD will want to move ahead of this economic event, as you all know by now, we often see stagnated markets before big news releases.
uvxy short volume uptickweve slightly gained in vix, and the ftz from top of short leads out to where uvxy should make its low sub $4...
if we examine the capitalcom vs finra we see that contango in vix is still coagulating around a major demand zone low into its decay. i still think split will be bullish for vix, but perhaps we clear the pop in fomc, and the loose steam is actually bullish in the long run i would still expect vix to lose weekly, as well as lose by the end of ftz.
USDJPY TO 139"Based on a thorough technical analysis, I have identified an ascending triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart of the US Dollar Index (DXY) and a bearish flag formation on the daily chart. Additionally, a doji pattern has been observed on the monthly chart, indicating potential market indecision. On Wednesday, it is expected that the DXY will experience a rise due to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Furthermore, Governor Kuroda's recent statement refusing to tighten monetary policy is likely to result in a weaker Japanese Yen, thereby contributing to the expected rise in the DXY. I wish all traders a profitable and successful trading week ahead."
BTC updateMy BIAS also has changed on BTC. Bitcoin is weak, parallel with DXY who is broken out, heading towards supply zone. Reverse my setups after new target is hit.
Looking for a "clean" short setup...
The FOMC meeting will disrupt the market again. Will increase my positions after volatility clears up.
Be alert!
US30 SHORT BIAS (UPDATED)!Hello all!
Quick recap on US30 from my recent analysis videos..
I did explain previously why i am bearish on Dow, beside US30 being in high curve on HTF. The pair moved the way projected in my recent analysis, mitigating the refined weekly Supply you see in the photo, and selling to the Demand zone where the usual price cycle appeared..
Now i will be waiting for Dow to touch 34170 zone and monitor LTF. If the pair mitigates during FED speech i will sell aggressively. If not i will wait for confirmation.
This sell will be a swing down to 30k.
Take care, trade safe!
ARHS - Arhaus, Inc.Very nice reaction off of the 9ema this morning. Largest 30-min volume since the gap up on raised revenue guidance.
Started a small position; couldn't justify a full position with the overall market being slightly extended on a short-term basis and showing negative action on the day.
Will look to add over the debut price high of $14 only if the broad market continues its bullish phase. The all-time-high of 14.95 looms overhead, but with the volume & growth on this name, I'd expect it to clear that level as long as the market environment remains favorable.
The FOMC decision and statement on Wednesday will have a major impact on the market environment. Even if I am shaken out of this starter position, I'm keeping this one on my focus list for as long as the environment remains healthy. This has the potential to be a true market leader.
SPY weekly Review 01/30/2023 - All timeframes, & AM routineIn this Video I do a quick analysis of the current condition of markets based on the SP500 proxy index the SPY. I also go through a few weekly data points as I am hoping to publish this every Monday to summarize the week head, and behind. This video is a bit long as I go through all my tools and routines, plus we have a very hectic week this week with FOMC, Earnings, Jobs, PMI, and much more. Inflation data on the horizon also (PCE Index which the FOMC cares most about, not PCI).
Intraday Analysis - ( 31 Jan 2023 )Intraday Analysis - ( 31 Jan 2023 )
GOLD has been ranging due to lack of fundamental catalyst and anticipating FOMC and other Fundamental data release this week.
HRHR buys at 1923 key level
MRMR buys at 1935 key level
Safest buys at 1939.5 key level
However i will only look for sells below the daily zone whereby a new low will be created and there will be a potential shift in structure only below 1912.
