* China delayed publishing key economic data including retail sales, industrial production, home prices and Q3 GDP amidst Incumbent President Xi Jin Ping's expected reelection for a third term . Chinese officials say it's because of the ongoing National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, but at the last Congress in 2017 the data was released promptly. This begs the question of how much of the delays are due to hopes of a swift economic recovery from their prolonged Covid lockdowns (and heat waves) being halted by sanctions and supply chain disruptions. Mastercard announced a partnership with Paxos today and together they will offer a program to financial institutions that will allow them to provide crypto trading to clients as well as guidance on regulatory compliance .

Price is currently trending down at ~$112.13 after getting rejected by the upper trendline of the ascending channel from October 2008 at ~$114 as resistance and forming somewhat of a Double-Top pattern as a result. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $110.20, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 53 after being rejected by 59.17 resistance for the second time in one week.

If Price is able to bounce here then it will likely aim to retest the upper trendline of the ascending channel from October 2008 at ~$114.50 as resistance which would coincide with $114.63 resistance . However, if Price continues to breakdown here, it will likely retest the 50 MA at $110 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close above) $113.32.

* On Saturday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry urged Chinese citizens still living and working in Ukraine to evacuate as soon as possible . In what Russia claims to a be a response to "acts of terrorism" on Russian people after the Crimean bridge bombing, Russia has now switched to include civilian buildings as attack targets after previously only targeting military property. Russia continues to position itself in ways that it can respond to "acts of terrorism", whether they use nuclear/chemical weapons to do so is now the question. Equity Futures are currently up while DXY and US Treasuries are down which means the week could potentially start with a bounce.

If Price is able to bounce here and get back above the weak descending trendline from July 2021 at ~$3620 (as resistance) then it will have to close above $3658 minor resistance a couple of times before retesting the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at ~$3780 as resistance . However, if Price continues to trend down here, it will likely retest $3517 minor support and potentially lower to $3383 support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $3658.

*Equities, Futures, Cryptos, Metals, Energy, GBPUSD, and EURUSD are all down while DXY, US Treasuries and VIX are up once again. Fears of nuclear war being exacerbated by resolute threats from Putin and desperate social media pleas by people like Elon Musk are pushing investors toward DXY and US Treasury notes and bonds and away from Risk-On assets. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ordered $300m worth of Nplate (a radiation sickness drug) as part of an ongoing long term defense plan against the threat of nuclear warfare . It's hard not to think that the timing of acquiring this medication vs chemical, biological or infectious disease medication isn't coincidental; but the HHS said it was just a routine purchase as part of a longer term plan. In the short to medium term it's reasonable to expect more supply chain disruptions as a result of Russia's war with Ukraine worsening rather than improving. OPEC+ cutting oil production heading into the European winter is another factor that contributes to the seemingly inevitable decline into a global recession.

Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $3805, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down slightly at 36 and is still technically testing 38 support, if it loses this level then the next support is at the uptrend line from August 2015 at ~32.

MACD remains bullish and is currently trending down at -85 after being rejected at the uptrend line from March 2020 as resistance at ~-83; if it breaks below -87 it would be a bearish crossover. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 28 as Price is falling, this is bearish at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here at the minor descending trendline from July 2021 (~$3635) then it will have to close above $3658 minor support if it's going to retest the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at ~$3800 as resistance .

With expectations of a federal funds rate above 4% in 2023 it's starting to get to that time where investors ask themselves when the continued rates hikes and impending Fed-forced recession will be priced in.

The last time the DXY tested $112 Weekly resistance was in 2000. If the Fed raises FFR by 75bps on 09/21 this will push it to 3% and may serve as a catalyst for DXY to keep surging higher.

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard made a pitch for more frontloading to bring down inflation and mentioned that he'd like to see EOY FFR at 3.75%-4%. Bullard isn't a voting member on the rates but his view could gain momentum depending on tomorrow's July PCE report and August's Jobs + CPI numbers. The Risk-On appetite seems to be growing ahead of the anticipated speech by Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole tomorrow. Market consensus is that Powell will remain hawkish but tomorrow's PCE numbers may inspire a more dovish tone regarding end of year expectations.

Recommended ratio: 75% SPX, 25% Cash . *The BLS reported PPI numbers this morning and they followed in the footsteps of CPI by coming in lower than the month prior, from a 1% rise in June to a -0.5% drop in July. This was a surprise because consensus estimates had PPI rising by 0.2%, such a dramatic fall can largely be attributed to the 19% decline in national average retail gas prices since last month. Year over year, PPI registered its lowest rise from the 12 months prior at 7.6% (this is the lowest it's been since October 2021). This inflation data has markets believing that inflation has peaked and July's PCE numbers due on 08/26/22 will help to clarify whether the drawdown in inflation was largely due to a big pullback in gas prices. June's PCE numbers came in higher than estimates and, all things considered, the supply chain situation has only improved nominally which brings a bit of uncertainty regarding whether or not PCE will follow in the footsteps of CPI and PPI. Key dates next week: US Housing Starts and Building Permits at 830am EST 08/16; 5th GDPNow US Q3 GDP estimate at 915am EST 08/16 ; US Retail Sales at 830am EST 08/17.* Price is currently testing $4254 minor resistance (new resistance) after breaking out above $4175 resistance and flipping it to support (two consecutive closes above $4175). Volume remains Moderate and has favored sellers in three of the past four sessions even as Price is going higher, this is mildly bearish at the moment. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $4109, this margin is mildly bearish. RSI is currently trending down at 67 after being rejected at 68.42 resistance, the next support is at 53. Stochastic is currently crossing over bullish at 91, the next resistance is max top while the next support is at 76. MACD remains bullish for a 48th consecutive session and is currently beginning to form a soft peak at 74, the next support (minor) is at 55 and the next resistance is the ATH at 91.78. ADX is currently trending up at 25 as Price is pushing higher, this is bullish. If Price is able to break out above $4254 minor resistance then the next likely target is a retest of the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at ~$4300 as resistance (which would probably coincide with the 200 MA). However, if Price is rejected here, it will likely formally retest $4175 support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes) below $4175.
SPX Daily TA Neutral BearishSPXUSD Daily neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 40% SPX, 60% Cash . * CRITICAL RESISTANCE WATCH . Equities finished the session relatively flat as markets are sending mixed signals ahead of CPI and PPI data on 08/10 and 08/11. Crypto, Gold, VIX and Oil are trending higher while DXY and Treasuries are down. Palantir reported an earnings miss and revenue beat and forecasted weaker revenue guidance for the second half of 2022; this likely isn't a market moving event but is important because it not only reflects a slowdown in growth stock interest but it hints at a slowdown in economic activity ( due to their significant number of government contract delays ). Key dates this week: COIN earnings 08/09; 4th US Q3 GDP estimate at 10am (EST) 08/10 ; CPI at 830am (EST) 08/10 ; Disney earnings 08/10; and PPI at 830am (EST) 08/11 .* Price continues to retest $4175 major resistance and briefly broke above it in today's session. Volume remains Moderate and fairly balanced between buyers and sellers reaffirming that Price is trading at a critical resistance. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $4060, this margin is mildly bearish. RSI is currently trending down slightly at 63 after peaking at 66, it is also exhibiting minor Bearish Divergence; the next resistance is at 68 and next support at 53. Stochastic is currently crossing over bearish at 92 as it continues to trend sideways in the 'bullish autobahn'; the next support is at 76. MACD is currently beginning to form a soft peak at 68 and is still technically testing 55 minor resistance. ADX is currently trending up at 22.50 as Price continues its attempt to break above $4175, this is mildly bullish. If Price is able to bounce here then it will need to close above $4175 major resistance for two consecutive sessions in order to flip it to support; only after this will it be able to retest the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at ~$4300 as resistance . However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely retest $4100 before potentially retesting the uptrend line from 06/16/22 at $4k psychological support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $4175 .
SPX Daily TA Neutral BearishSPXUSD Daily neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 45% SPX, 55% Cash. * JOBS REPORT WATCH . The Employment Situation is released tomorrow (08/05) at 830am (EST) and markets seem to be rallying as if unemployment is going to stay flat or go up insignificantly. If this scenario plays out, it will be interesting considering labor force participation continues to trend down from March , weekly jobless claims went up , there's been a notable increase in layoffs over the past few months and many corporations announced they are going to slow hiring through the end of the year. Equities continue their rally with the S&P posting its biggest bounce of the year (13%) since its June 16th low, reflecting that consumer sentiment regarding inflation, supply chains, FFR and Russia/China is very optimistic heading into 2023. Yesterday, OPEC+ agreed to raise output by 100,000bpd starting in September, compared to the ~600,000bpd increases in July and August this sent the price of Oil back up heading into September; which is likely to result in more inflationary pains for consumers. Taiwanese news agencies have reported that China has been conducting the closest military drills yet and have launched a record number of cyberattacks at Taiwan since Pelosi's visit . Blackrock will be offering crypto to their ~200 institutional investors through Coinbase Prime and Coinbase partnered with Meta to allow for NFTs to be shared on Instagram from Coinbase Wallet ; both of these reports sent COIN up 45% in today's session and probably made Cathie Wood shite her pant$ after selling 1.133m shares at ~$55 last week (Price is currently ~$88). The Atlanta Fed released their third Q3 GDP estimate and it came in higher than the last going from 1.3% to 1.4%. Apparently today the White House joined the WHO in labeling Monkeypox a public health emergency . Key dates: July Jobs Report at 830am (EST) 08/05; July CPI at 830am (EST) 08/10; 4th Atlanta Fed Q3 GDP Estimate 08/10; July PPI at 830am (EST) 08/11.* Price is currently testing $4175 resistance as it awaits the Jobs Report tomorrow morning. Volume remains Moderate (high) and has favored sellers in two of the past three sessions, indicating that $4175 resistance is seeing quite a bit of selling pressure. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at ~$4k (-3% from current Price), this margin is mildly bearish. RSI is trending down slightly at 65 after forming a peak at 66, this is currently exhibiting mild Bearish Divergence from Price; a potential Double Top formation is also forming just below 68 resistance which is something to watch for. Stochastic remains bearish but is currently attempting to cross over bullish at 93; the next support is at 76. MACD remains bullish for the 41st consecutive session and is currently trending up at 65 with no signs of peak formation; it is still technically testing 55 minor resistance. ADX is currently trending up at 22 as price pushes higher, this is mildly bullish. If Price is able to break above $4175 resistance then it will likely retest the 200 MA + the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at ~$4300 . However, if Price is rejected here, it will likely retest $4100 before potentially retesting the uptrend line from 06/16/22 at $4k psychological support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $4175.
SPX Daily TA Cautiously BullishSPX Daily bullish. Recommended ratio: 88% SPX, 12% Cash. * CRITICAL RESISTANCE WATCH . The BEA reported June PCE numbers this morning and both came in higher than last month: Core PCE (sans Food and Energy) came in at 4.8% vs 4.7% last month (also had a 4.7% consensus estimate) and PCE Index came in at 6.8% (20 year high) vs 6.3% in the previous two months. Although the move in Core PCE wasn't too significant, it's the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation which leaves the possibility of a 75bps hike in September on the table. BLS reported Q2 ECI numbers and compensation stayed relatively flat while wages/salaries increased and benefits decreased compared to Q1, this is perhaps indicative of businesses cutting perks and profit sharing in exchange for higher wages to lure in talent during an inflation induced consumer slowdown. Compensation, Wages/Salary and Benefits all went down for State and Local Government employees. The U of M Sentiment Survey came in at 51.5, a 3% gain from last month's (50); if next month's is higher, this would imply that consumers are becoming more optimistic about the worst being behind us in 2022. The Atlanta Fed posted their first GDPNow Q3 estimate and to the surprise of many they anticipate a quarter of +2.1% GDP growth. Earnings this quarter are so far proving to be resilient as well and provide additional confidence for investors going into Q3. Equities, Cryptos, Gold and Oil are up while VIX, DXY, and Treasuries are down as more investors begin to transition to risk-on with hopes that the worst is behind us. Though I still think it's premature to assume money markets have bottomed until after September, there is a lot of upside potential here compared to downside.* Price is continuing the FOMC rally and is currently trending up at $4130 as it approaches a test of $4175 resistance (which is a critical resistance). Volume remains Moderate (high) and is on track to favor buyers for a third consecutive session if it can close today in the green. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3862, this margin is mildly bearish at the moment. RSI is currently trending up and beginning to form a soft peak at 66 as it approaches 68.42 resistance. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently trending up at max top. MACD remains bullish and is currently breaking above 33 resistance and trending up at 42.65 with no sign of peak formation, the next resistance is at 55. ADX is currently trending up at 18 as Price is pushing higher, this is bullish. If Price is able to continue up here then it will likely test $4175 major resistance before potentially testing the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at ~$4300 as resistance . However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely test $4k psychological support before potentially retesting $3938 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $4k.
SPX Daily TA Neutral BullishSPX Daily neutral with a bullish bias. Recommended ratio: 55% SPX, 45% Cash. * BULL TRAP WATCH . META missed on both earnings and revenue estimates in addition to seeing their first drop in revenue growth; they predict that this trend will continue in Q3 and perhaps the rest of the year. Fed announced a 75bps hike today and Chairman JPow iterated that we aren't in a recession because the labor market continues to be resilient (stagflation), assuring investors that a soft landing is still not out of reach. Interestingly, he also mentioned that "another unusually large rate hike could be appropriate at the next meeting", "path to a soft landing is narrowing", "likely full effects of rate hikes have not been felt yet", and that inflation could get worse going into year end. Somehow, investors are rejoicing as if a bottom is in; but if you look at what happened when the last FOMC statement was released, SPX rallied 2% from $3762 to $3841 to close 06/15 and then fell 5% from $3841 to $3642 to start the next session (06/16). The TA this time around looks a bit different but it's something to be mindful of going in to tomorrow. Key dates remaining this week: 1st Q2 GDP estimate at 830am EST tomorrow (07/28), AAPL and AMZN earnings after-hours tomorrow (07/28), PCE Index report at 830am EST (07/29) and University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (07/29). If the first GDP estimate comes in at -1.2% (current GDPNow estimate) or less, it will likely add bullishness to hopes of a 'mild recession' or no 'recession' at all. If PCE numbers (the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation) show that they are declining somehow, the Fed will likely interpret that as inflation starting to wind down and will look to raise FFR by 50bps in September (which money markets would likely perceive as bullish). It's still too premature to call for a bottom but if Price is able to close above $3938 for the rest of the week, there is a good chance that it tests the upper trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at ~$4300 riding into September.* Price is currently breaking out above $3938 minor resistance after bouncing from a very critical support juncture in response to the FOMC statement today. Volume remains Moderate (high) and has been alternating between buyer and seller dominance over the past four sessions. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3809, this margin is mildly bearish. RSI is currently trending up at 60 (3-month high) with no signs of peak formation after bouncing from 53 support, the next resistance is at 68. Stochastic bounced off 76 support and is currently trending up at 80, if it can break above 81 it would be a bullish crossover. MACD remains bullish and is currently trending up at 20 after breaking above 10.73 support, the next resistance is at 33. ADX is completing a trough and is currently trending up slightly at 16 as Price is pushing higher, this is mildly bullish. If Price is able to close above $3938 for one more session then the next likely target is a retest of $4175 resistance . However, if Price breaks back down here it will likely retest $3938 minor support before potentially heading lower. Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $3915 .
DXY Daily TA Cautiously BullishDXY Daily cautiously bullish. Recommended ratio: 75% DXY, 25% Cash. *Demand for USD continues as global recessionary fears amplify and tighter monetary policy pushes investors to short term Treasuries (Yield Curve inversion). The Euro is maintaining parity with the USD for the third consecutive day as Italy's Prime Minister Mario Draghi submitted an offer to resign today . Interestingly, as DXY continues pushing higher to reach levels last seen in 2002 (taking liquidity from Cryptos, Equities and Commodities), markets are currently reacting favorably to Fed Governor Christopher Waller's remarks today about how the markets are "getting a bit ahead of themselves" regarding inflation and that the job market is healthy enough to continue economic expansion. Waller also mentioned that though 75bps is all but guaranteed, he is waiting on June retail sales data ( scheduled for release tomorrow 07/14/2022 at 830am EST ) and housing starts/building permit data ( scheduled for release 07/19/22 at 830am EST ) to determine if demand is still so high that it warrants a full 100bps or more rate hike on 07/27/22. DXY has only traded above $108 in three other periods: 1967-1973 (two recessions 69-70 and 73-75, Nixon "nixed" the Bretton Woods Agreement and Gold Standard in attempt to stimulate the economy and ring in inflation, the third and fourth Arab/Israeli wars, 1973 oil crisis and stock market crash); 1981-1986 (one recession 81-82 after short rate-hike induced recession in 1980, Cold War fears pushed investors to DXY as Russia tested nuclear weapons in Kazakhstan, Iranian Revolution prompted 1979 energy crisis, Fed tightened monetary policy to bring down inflation, stock market only crashed 81-82 and rallied from 83-87); and the only period where CPI was relatively low (below 3.67%) and DXY was above 108 was 2000-2002 (short recession in 2001, Y2K, Dot-Com bubble popped, 9/11). That said, history shows that financial markets mostly tumble and the economy enters a recession as DXY rallies above 108; using this pattern one can surmise that if DXY continues to rip higher, markets may go lower.* Price is currently trending up at $108.63 as it technically tests $108 resistance. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $106.20, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI is currently trending up at 76 after bouncing at 73, the next resistance is at 82. Stochastic is currently in the process of crossing over bearish as it trends sideways at 97 in the 'bullish autobahn zone'. MACD remains bullish and is currently trending up at 1.25 as it tests 1.24 resistance with no signs of peak formation; the next support is at 0.64 and resistance at 1.92. ADX is currently trending up at 42 with no signs of peak formation as Price continues to push higher, this is bullish. If Price is able to defend support at $108 then the next likely target is a retest of $115 resistance for the first time since February 2002. However, if Price is rejected here at $108 and breaks down, the next likely target is a retest of the 50 MA at around $103 support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes below) $108.
