JPM / JP Morgan - Don't Gamble On Regional BanksI know that whenever something drops by 30 or 50 or 70 percent in one or two days it seems like you might be able to smash buy and ride the bounce back to the top, but just take a look at how well that worked out for tech stocks once the market started to correct at the end of 2021, or just take a look at how well that worked for Silicon Valley Bank dip buyers who found their shares worth $0 in a few hours.
JP Morgan and the other big American banks aren't just "big American banks," but the financial arm of the United States' military industrial complex. Moreover, they're something that's become a pillar of the entire world's financial ecosystem. The heart of the world's economy is in Manhattan, but they're also the ones responsible for providing a financial life line (a blood transfusion) to the Chinese Communist Party all of these years.
Here's some things everyone should think about:
1. Regional banks are not a buy, because they need to be eliminated for Central Bank Digital Currencies
2. SWIFT itself is expanding its CBDC platform pilot globally after a test run that involved a JP Morgan-created centralized fork of Ethereum .
3. CBDCs are required for the global implementation of the CCP's social credit credit system
4. CBDCs mean citizen and small business banking becomes centralized in Federal Reserve proxy accounts ran through the biggest banks
5. Welcome to communism. The purpose of all of this is to install communism for the purposes of attempting to change the human living condition.
Credit Suisse is probably going to implode for real and that's going to cause some chaos for the markets. This play is pretty much a mirror of the 2008 GFC with Bear Sterns, which everyone would do well to educate themselves on how that went down .
The problem with Central Bank QE isn't all the Libertarian crap you've been told. The problem is that deposits are a liability for banks because they have to pay interest on them, and so they need to seek yield. Seeking yield on a very large position is very hard, because guys like JPM and Blackrock and Vanguard happen to make the markets, and markets are a euphemism for a casino, and casinos are zero sum games where there's a small number of winners and a large number of losers.
And so when there's no interest rates, banks have to take risks to generate cashflow to pay interest to the very, very large depositors. When QE was hot that seemed to have meant long bonds, long equities. And then the Fed raised rates 5 percent while they were holding a lot of equities and bonds and now those bonds and equities aren't worth very much.
So they're red on their positions and can't HODL through it because of bank runs and go under.
It's as simple as that and it was an engineered play for smaller banks to be destroyed and then the big banks buy the liquidations.
It's the same as how whales kill sharks by holding them upside down in the water, which makes them disoriented and paralyzed, and then the whales eat their livers and leave them to die.
JPM on the monthly is not likely to have topped and gives you no reason to think there's a financial crash or any real bearishness brewing:
Yet the weekly shows you confluence between Fib levels and gaps, and that it's just too early to go long, and kind of scary to scalp short to boot:
JPM's double tops at $145 made very little sense at the time, and that's because, in my opinion, they were short their own stock under $150 in anticipation of what everyone who's running big data analysis for real knew, that SIVB and SBNY and SI would collapse, that CS was a bloated corpse in the river that the Swiss National Bank couldn't save, and that it was time to start taking down the regional banks by using the crisis as an opportunity.
Naturally, being a bank and part of the sector, this will give grounds to make JPM's shares drop, so they just sell, and then buy back, and then give themselves bonuses and go for happy hour with cocaine and strippers when the drama is over because someone buys CS and the Fed pauses hikes, and they pump their own stock back to $200.
Another thing is that the narrative is that equities are *going2themoon* because the Federal Reserve just HAS to stop hiking rates now. Look at how much damage the rate hikes caused! They just have to stop hiking now!
They probably won't. FOMC hasn't led to a dumpster fire in quite a few months and you should be concerned about that.
After Wednesday's FOMC, the next one afterwards is May 2. Expect them to pivot then, not now, and for May, June, July to become another "most hated rally" for bears.
Except this time it won't be a bear market rally, but a bump and run reversal, that pumps tech and other dumpster trash to a new ATH that makes bears blow their accounts.
Look for longs in the $110 range on JPM and expect the October bottom to hold, because it's called a pivot for a reason, sons.
It's JP Morgan. This kind of disaster in the markets today was arranged by them, and is not something they're personally subject to.
The disasters that lie ahead for the current regime because of what they've been doing to help the CCP as it persecutes Falun Gong over the last 24 years are retribution that they haven't arranged and that nobody can dodge, and something that will catch the entire market off guard.
But for now, you can get $40 a share if you buy in the $110s and sell at $150. And the time horizon is probably literally no later than the end of May, too.
Don't go long on regional banks. Go long on the big banks. And then get out and be careful, because everything in this world is about to change very quickly, and human beings are not going to be able to bear the terribleness of what happens when the regime goes to install communism worldwide.

JPM JPMorgan Chase & Co. Options Ahead Of EarningsIf you haven`t sold JPM here:
Then looking at the JPM JPMorgan Chase & Co. options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the FWB:124 strike price Puts with
2023-4-14 expiration date for about
$1.35 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, i would sell at least 50%.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
JP Morgan HnS Dragon with Bearish ConvergenceJPM after Bearishly Engulfing on the Monthly has formed a bit of a Head and Shoulders pattern while at the sametime forming a Bearish Dragon with some MACD Bearish Convergence as the RSI enters the Bearish Control Zone if price continues to do what it's doing i could see JPM making a full 0.886 Retrace.
JP Morgan locally correcting. JPMBounce off a local resistance, which I did not show, sinking in the phase of a possible B Wave. Very short term out look of a ~5% drop in stock price or more. ATR (moving) for Stop.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.
Banking Sector: Part 2: JPMLast week we looked at the banks through the lens of relative strength ratios and the yield curve, concluded that all banks were weak, that regional banks are much weaker than the money center banks, and that banks at the index level had underperformed the SPX since the early 2000s. Prior to the events of the last few weeks, I believed that a significant credit contraction was already unfolding. Recent events have solidified that view. In my view we are early in a banking crisis, that will be centered in regional banking. I expect significant distress but have mixed feelings as to how this Fed will react.
The four largest US banks have 9.1 trillion in assets representing roughly 40% of all banking assets. All four are considered systemically important banks and can be considered the sector generals. This week we focus on JP Morgan.
JPM Monthly:
Much stronger volume in comparison to the recent past after breaking down from strong resistance suggests that the corrective behavior from the October 2022 (101) low to the most recent high is complete. The low volume on the rally coupled with the expansion of volume and a show of weakness suggests that a significant decline is likely unfolding. MACD oscillator failed to generate a buy signal and has turned lower again (see the notes in the triple screen paragraph).
Uptrend support at 104 is minor, I will be surprised if it is strong enough to contain the high volume thrust that is unfolding.
Lateral support at 101 and again at 77 are prime areas to monitor for bullish behaviors.
The 50% retracement of the entire bull market falls in the 88.00 area.
The potential for a head and shoulder top is very apparent in this perspective.
JPM Weekly:
Weekly: Making a high-volume show of weakness after testing the internal 141 resistance zone. The high volume coupled with recent closes near the lows of the weekly price spreads strongly suggests follow through.
The weekly MACD oscillator has rejoined the monthly oscillator (see triple screen below) on a sell signal.
First meaningful chart support cluster in the 101 zone (roughly 17% lower). The support confluence begins at roughly 106 and ends at roughly 95.00 with the lateral support from last Septembers lows (101) being by far the most consequential.
A significant violation of the 101 zone would strongly suggest that a systemic event was unfolding. A breakout would likely target the next major lateral support in the 77 zone.
Triple Screen:
JPM Triple Screen: Poor MACD momentum across all time perspectives. All perspectives are on sell signals. Note the fresh turn lower in the weekly. The monthly is interesting in that the faster average moved back (hooked higher) to test the slower average and then failed. I generally consider this a failed test (in momentum terms). The failed test makes the weekly sell signal more compelling. Note that the daily is a bit oversold, but with monthly and weekly turning over it isn't a major warning.
Fibonacci:
There are three relationships that interest me.
The first is the retracement of the entire bull market. The first leg lower found support in the 38% retracement zone. The 50% comes in around 87.00 and finally the 61.8% in the 67.85 zone.
The second is the retracement of the last bull thrust from 77.00 - 173.00.
The third is the Fibonacci extension of the 2021 high, to the most recent support and then extended from the last high. Equality (1) @ 107.00, 43.00 and 26.00.
Conclusion: Price action is extremely poor. Next zone to monitor for bullish behavior is around 101, but I suspect that much lower is likely. The caveat clearly is the Federal Reserve. If they decide conditions are dire and pivot to cutting rates and ending QT, this could change rapidly. Monitor credit spreads for distress. In the meantime, I will favor strategies that allow me to sell into hourly and daily perspective strength.

Will tomorrow be the day $JPM drops to $71? I think it could >It sounds a little nuts, I know. But hear me out. We clearly have a double touch on the upper channel line on the 12 month- clear rejection. The 9 MA on the yearly looks awful too. General weakness, there and within the stoch rsi and mac d. The 3 month also looks awful. Let's hone in though on the 9 MA and 20 MA on the chart though- they're clearly about to fall through them. Oh, not to mention, the major obvious head & shoulders pattern. Everything looks horrible. Almost makes me wonder if the speech wasn't "awful" news today because tomorrow is the real drop, when everyone thinks the worst is out of the way... who knows? I just call the technical analysis like I see it. And based on the daily time frame anyway, I don't see anywhere else that JPM could LOGICALLY retrace to... so why would it? Time to drop :)
JP Morgan Bank will have a big crashJB Morgan Bank will collapse we are already at the beginning of a financial global crisis and it will be affect even on stock prices and we may see stocks fall by 90-95% of current prices. The gold is the only one safest in this next collapse. Even Bitcoin will not survive this collapse and will be pricely affected significantly and can see it on 1k or lower, so be careful and prepare new liquidity to enter
Maximum Pain in The Future CS Credit SuisseBanks restructure the debt of stressed corporations every day, not out of philanthropy but out of enlightened self-interest.
But the problem was that, now that we had accepted the EU–IMF bailout, we were no longer dealing with banks but with politicians who had lied to their parliaments to convince them to relieve the banks of Greece’s debt and take it on themselves.
A debt restructuring would require them to go back to their parliaments and confess their earlier sin, something they would never do voluntarily, fearful of the repercussions.
Credit Suisse is A Mess, This won't be good R-R for a reversal until late 2023. There are hundreds of significantly better opportunities available
$DJI has HUGE BUY volume the last few hours$DJI bounce decently off support on daily charts.
This may take some time to heal. However, IF #stocks can hold for the next few hours it can be okay.
The only reason it's not pumping higher is $GS & $JPM, #banks.
On the 4Hr we see a DOJI formed MORE than 4 hours ago & on the CURRENT 4 hr candle it is being ENGULFED WITH VOLUME.
We want to see a close above 32k but higher will mean more conviction.
The belief is that #rates will take a pause while we have this bank fiasco happening.
32500 is our full exit point. Although we have been loosening positions in this rally for the last couple hours.
Would keep re-buying lightly on pullbacks. Bottoms can take some time to form.
💾 JP Morgan Chase & Co. Worst Since 2008 | Major CrashAfter seeing what happened to SVB Financial Group and Silvergate Bank, I decided to do a little digging and see how the banks stocks are doing.
I looked up the biggest bank in the USA and got a list of the TOP15.
I can publish only 10 charts per day, so I will focus on the TOP10.
This time we will have a bank session... Call it a "Bank Holiday" .
Grab your popcorns... Sit back, relax and enjoy.
The bankers are about to pay themselves hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses as the entire financial system they run burns.
Let's get started!
The top bank in the USA is JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM).
Here is the weekly chart:
Spoiler alert: Since 2020 this chart is the same as Bitcoin, the SPX, and the rest, the exact same, the only difference is that Bitcoin is more advanced in the cycle. It peaked first and it also bottomed first.
On the weekly chart above we can spot the following details:
✔️ This week is the worst in a long time.
✔️ Highest bear volume this week since February 2022.
✔️ JPM closed below EMA10 and EMA21.
✔️ Bearish cross on the MACD and the RSI jumping off a cliff.
These same points will repeat across all the other charts as all the markets are very similar and follow the same patterns.
On the monthly chart, which is the main chart on this trade idea, we have the following bearish signals:
✔️ Major lower high. Feb. 2023 vs oct. 2021.
✔️ Bearish MACD.
✔️ RSI trending lower for more than a year, ready to crash.
Will the FED save the market with their printing machine?
Remember they were doing everything possible to crash everything, maybe they won't be so eager to nullify everything they've done so far... Or maybe they will..
The chart is bearish.
Just as we saw with the SPX, DJI and NDX, JPM is pointing to the biggest crash since 2008.
Namaste.
SIVB Meltdown- Canary in the Coal mind?Today we saw a systemic risk in the financial sector. The regional banks were hit extremally hard and as a result the Major banks saw sell side liquidation.
Where there's one cockroach, there's usually another.
Risk in the banking sector is the worst type of risk investors can ask for. Credit liquidity crisis is not something to mess around with.
SIVB looks like its in serious trouble potentially being exposed to fraudulent crypto loans that will likely default as well as failed speculative startups in the tech and health care space.
JPM, Completion of 32 YEARS Bull Run?Is 9 months correction enough for completion of 32 years bull run ?
Started at 3.21 on 1990 and ended at ATH , JPM most probably has completed an impulsive section of a large degree wave cycle and currently is in first leg of 3 legs ABC form of correction.
As shown on the chart by green horizontal lines, JPM has so far retraced back around 0.382 of whole impulsive section which is acceptable but not typical for correction of bull run of this size. More typical Retracements are 0.618 Golden Ratio and 0.786 levels which suggest 68 or even 39.5 USD for JPM bottom !!. For now, I give more chance to 0.618 level (68 USD) which coincides with strong static support related to top of wave (1).
Timing is most difficult and of course least accurate task in charting and technical analysis however, we can extract some clues from chart:
First : So far , we had 9 months of correction which I suppose is not enough at all for 32 years bull run.
Second: if we use time Fibonacci for 32 years impulsive section and consider lowest Fibonacci level which is 0.236 , we reach to 7.5 years !!. Therefore, correction MAY last for some years.
Third: labeled wave (2) (intermediate degree ) correction lasted for 9 years from 2000 to 2009. If our suggested wave count becomes true, we are now in larger degree wave 2 (primary degree) which supports our expectation about multi years correction.
Please note dotted red arrow on the chart is more optimistic than 7.5 years correction related to 0.236 Fibonacci level.
Our wave count confirmation condition is a trade below what is labeled as wave (4) . This means there is one bullish case scenario which suggest the decline from ATH to be just the correction of what has been labeled as wave (5). In this case, our suggested wave count needs a major update.
Some important and educational notes:
1. Chart is very similar to NASDAQ. This remind us importance of index analysis.
2. Wave (2) retraced 0.786 of wave (1) a typical one. wave (4) retraced back 0.5 of wave (3) , another typical one.
3. Elliott waves alternation guideline is beautifully observable on the chart : Wave (2) is broad and long lasting wave (9 years) while wave (4) is a sharp one ( just 3 months).
To warp up, If we are a day or swing trader we can use the benefit of lots of ups and downs in the rout of the chart by choosing strong and efficient strategy (Please keep in mind that chart is on monthly time frame). But if we are a long term investor, we need some strong bullish signs and events in the stock and whole market to start investing in JPM, something much more stronger than just one day bounce back or a daily bullish candle.
Hope this analysis and explanations to be useful and wish you all the best.
$JPM: Uptrend signal in the weekly$JPM has a very nice and tight reward to risk setup. Upside is substantial, and considering the recent turn of events logical. We likely see some rotation from growth to value next, and financials are looking like a beneficiary of the latest econ data prints.
Best of luck!
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
