The supply chain issues have dampened the profits of businesses as it's causing higher costs; stagflation is also a possibility with inflation combined with a slowing economy -European and Chinese economic issues would also push selling pressure higher for BTC LOW TIME FRAME (LTF) Technical Analysis -Low-timeframe demand needs to be tapped above before continuing that far down -The point of interest is both of the purple zones which I have created using the VPSV and volume to identify where important demand zones are.

Waiting for the S&P 500 to find a directional biasThe S&P 500 is well off its worst levels of the year, and while it is possible this is a recovery bounce before another leg lower there appears to be more upside first. But traders will want to be careful not to chase this move higher, rather use volatility to their advantage. The thinking is it could just be corrective, and at some point the market will swoon again. With that in mind, trading the volatility with a short-term directional bias seems to make the most sense. On the upside, this means looking to jabs lower that start to lose selling momentum as potential opportunities to establish short-term long positions.

HOW LOW, CAN WE GO! HOW LOW, CAN WE GO! (TOTAL2 VERSION)If I had to guess, the crypto market minus BTC still has ~10% of bleeding left to do before it hits previous support. Forgot to check but that's like a few billion at least. Breakdown & bear retest of 200 on 3D supports this idea Breakdown into oversold RSI on 3D indicates we may see a bounce soon - but it could also get stuck down there for a while while we continue down. I think the admirable performance of ETH is the only thing keeping this afloat right now, and will be the only reason this *doesn't* play out, if it catches support sooner. Anyone buying ETH around these levels will look like a genius a year or so from now... happy trades, always ~ CD

Irrational market is about to endXETR:DAX The macro condition is continuously deteriorating. Record braking inflation across the Euro Area, worsening supply chain issues, declining PMIs and lower consumer confidence. It's a non-stop barrage of negative news. Surprisingly enough, though, the indices have been having a great time. But the last ray of light is about to be clouded with the ECB meeting looming this week. DAX is about to experience its first significant decline after a couple of weeks of resilient pumping. As for technical analysis, we can observe a pretty clear double top forming at the ~14600 level, lowering volume and an exhaustion candle today - all pointing towards a reversal. Be wary of another low volume pump tomorrow but overall, expect a red weekly candle.

Look for DXY to be range bound The US Dollar’s descent moderated last week as traders shifted back into risk assets, ditching the safety of the world’s reserve currency. Still, measured by the DXY Index, the Greenback remains well above levels traded at just a couple of months ago. A pullback in recession fears appeared to be the main driver of weakness. Given the precarious global economic backdrop, those fears may resurface without warning. That said, the risk-taking seen last week is on shaky ground.

GBP - a detailed analysisA detailed GBP analysis: Negative factors: ➡️Last week's PMIs were disastrous. GDP often follows the PMIs, which paints a very bleak picture for the future of the UK economy. ➡️Inflation is at a dizzying 9%. ➡️The consumer is suffering the consequences of inflation and sentiment is thus in the basement. ➡️Sometimes retail sales also follow consumer sentiment (strong correlation). ➡️If retail sales actually collapse to such an extent, this would further weaken the UK's growth and a recession would be a real risk (Next retail sales release on 17.06.22) ➡️With the threat of a recession, the central bank of England (BoE) would row back sharply on the interest rate hikes already priced in as not to put further strain on the population and the economy -> this would result in GBP weakness. (Next BOE meeting on 16.06.22) ➡️Brexit disputes with the EU could boil up again and put additional pressure on the GBP. However, much of this is already more or less priced into the GBP and the reason why the GBP is one of the weakest G10 currencies since the beginning of the year. Now to the positive sides: As mentioned, the labour market in the UK is booming and the unemployment rate is at an all-time low. -> As long as the labour market can remain stable, there is hope for the UK economy. -> but at the same time this means that if we get much weaker labour data in the future this would weigh massively on the GBP (next labour data will be published on 14.06.22, even before the BOE meeting) ➡️On Thursday the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a new £15 billion fiscal package where those on the lowest incomes are to receive a one-off payment of up to £600 from the government. This is a big boost and can add up to 0.7% to the UK's GDP -> this is very positive for the GBP As mentioned, much of the negative is already priced into the GBP, so many speculators (hedge funds, trend-following algos) are already heavily short GBP. When so many speculators are already short, the danger of short squeezes is high. -> Short squeezes can be particularly violent and result in a rapid rise in the GBP price. Conclusion: In the long term, the negative factors weighing on the GBP outweigh the positive factors for me, but in the short term much of this is already priced in and it would take a short squeeze to force the speculators out of the market. Only then would the GBP be an attractive short candidate for me for a long-term swing trade. -> The factor that would make the GBP a long-term short candidate earlier would be a sharp weakening of the labour market. ℹ️This analysis was from the point of view of a long-term swing trade. Of course, shorter-term day trades in GBP (in either direction) are equally possible at any time. Tip: Look out for the GBPUSD at 14:00 GMT time today. It will highly likely trade at 1.25500 and after that a bigger move could follow.

BTC Macro SupportI thought this was interesting, in the past both bear markets formed a falling wedge , touched the support trend line of the pattern once, touched the 200 MA, also touched and stayed above the red logarithmic line other than the black swan event but it still kept above the line. In both cycles after these happened, a bull run occurred right after. It seems right now, we still haven't found support within the wedge, which has me thinking we might still go down during the month of june 2022 and possibly finding support around july 2022 or august 2022. As well, the blue vertical lines shows when BTC picked up the most momentum right before it blast off to all time high.

DXY UPDATEToday at 17:20 GMT Fed chairmen J.Powell will make a speech volatility is expected across the markets, generally speaking on such macro economic news events the price will tend to reverse the price action from the current week to hunt liquidity, the news is usually used as a catalyst to do so. With that being said taking a look at the USD index we can identify price has been making a bearish correction since the huge rally we have recently seen. There is a strong level of4H demand identified on the chart be cautious to see a strong bounce from this zone which will of course effect all the markets . Remember the opposite correlation between BTC and USD

Market outlookThe S&P500 has done exactly as I feared. Thesis: The US is transitioning. The US dollar was the reserve currency of the world. We exported dollars and it either sat in banks or was imported back as investment (Bonds and stocks). When we locked up Russia's money we made EVERY country re-evaluate their relationship with us. A significant pivot is happening on the macro scale. The US's future lies in how we make use of the US coming back home. I expect production of goods and base commodities to begin to truly take over for years to come. I do NOT expect to invest significantly in the S&P500 again until 2028-2032. Things to keep in mind: 1. Valuations are still absurd. and either significant inflation or a drop in price is needed to bring them back to levels I would purchase at. 2. Relief rally should happen soon. Remember bear market rallies rip harder and faster than rallies in a bull markets. 3. The fed is squeezing the economy trying to reduce inflation. Until they pivot, expect lower lows. 4. There is a non-zero percent chance we enter a sustained bear market until 2028 ish. The first "real" one in 40+ years. 5. Commodities are looking great. They may drop for a bit longer but if you look back 50 years and adjust for inflation we are in the initial innings. For reference silver is 21.93$ and based on my calculations of inflation, its high was above 800.00$. 6. I am forecasting gold to go to 8000 over the next 6 years even if everything goes "well" for the west just due to the USD being revalued lower. If things get truly dicey I am expecting gold to reach 25,000 an ounce. 7. Remember the insidious nature of inflation. Even if we assume official levels of inflation are accurate and expect 5% for the next 5 years, cost of living will increase by at LEAST 29%. I expect levels closer to 80-300% increase cost of living based on my macro thesis. Large unknown factors: 1. Europe is looking terrifyingly weak. If Europe begins to destabilize I expect a rush into the dollar for a time. This will have many unpredictable problems. We may see inflation cool for a time due to that but it just makes the problem bigger down the line. 2. If the US gov suddenly finds a cause that allows them to bless off on 50-200T in money printing I expect that to drastically shift what happens. It may prop up the stock market or it may be the final proof to investors they lost control and create a global bank run. 3. Contagions: in 2008 we saw one of the largest expressions of a contagion event. The entire financial world locked up. There are 100X's more dangers of similar events now than there where in 2008 because we never fixed the underlying problem and allowed it grow exponentially. 4. Food and energy are becoming huge global risk factors. Don't underestimate the global effects of wide spread starvation and loss of energy augmentation to humanity. My call is just based on the worlds Covid response. This is not even factoring in Russia and Ukraine. Western countries will be buffered from both of these trends but we will still strongly feel this through second and third order effects. Don't underestimate the power of starvation and lack of energy to produce large scale contagious risks unlike we have ever experienced in anyone's memory.

Bond - Equity Correlation: The Most Important Question?TVC:US10Y TVC:NYA A reminder that falling bond yields are synonymous with higher bond prices. In other words, a downtrend in yield equates to a bull market in bonds. In January, bonds were still in a technical bull market as defined by the broad declining channel that had contained the 40 year bull market. In March the break of that downtrend turned the macro trend from bullish to neutral. Now, all that is left to define a bearish trend is a substantive violation of the 3.25% pivot zone. More recently, after testing the major macro pivot in the 3.25% zone, ten year Treasury yields have fallen sharply. The decline begs the question: Is the decline the result of the decades long negative correlation between equity and fixed income reasserting itself on the back of equity weakness or is it simply the beginning of a relief rally created by the combination of major support and a deeply oversold condition? While it is too soon to answer the question with any degree of certainty, it is clear that the outcome will have vitally important macro/portfolio implications. My guess is that if equities continue to weaken, that the bonds will continue to do better, but that without the bid provided by flight-to-quality that the outlook for bonds will quickly deteriorate as the oversold condition is alleviated. In future posts I will provide a deeper dive into the shorter term technical and fundamental outlook for bonds, but the posts from January 2, 11, and February 9 should provide adequate background for now. Early in the year I published a five part market overview detailing my macro technical and fundamental views of the "Big 4" asset classes: Equities, Rates, Commodities and the Dollar. As part of that series I discussed the importance of the correlation between equities and bonds and the central role falling inflation played in creating the relationship. This inverse correlation is a historical anomaly, yet it drives much modern portfolio construction. The idea is that when equities decline sharply, flight to quality in bonds pushes rates lower (bond prices higher). In other words, gains in the bond portion of the portfolio partially hedge losses in the equity portfolio. Variations of the 60/40 portfolio construction (60% equities and 40% bonds) and risk parity strategies are intended to shield investors from the worst of equity declines and indeed have had an admirable track record of reducing return volatility. After decades of success, the amount of assets devoted to this strategy, both overt and passive, is staggeringly huge. If the historic positive correlation is reasserting itself due to a change in the trend of inflation (stocks down and bonds down), the subsequent unwind has the potential to create massive dislocation. In my view, the combination of extremely negative real rates (nominal rates less inflation), an inflation cycle that has turned from virtuous to vicious, and equity markets, that at least at the index level, are extremely overvalued, may be setting the stage for a polarity switch in which bond prices and equity prices fall and rise together. That has clearly been the case so far this year. Year-to-date (YTD) the bond composite has returned approximately -12% while the S&P has returned approximately -1%. In other words, both sides of 60/40 and risk parity portfolios have lost considerable value. If the year were to end now, it would be a historically bad year for the strategy. Is the switch in correlation a short term phenomenon or the start of something much larger? To my mind, this is the central question for the remainder of this year. I think the next few months will be telling. There is also the tension between high inflation and the growing odds of a significant recession. Not only does high inflation serve as an inhibiter to real economic growth, but so will the Federal Reserves (Fed) effort to return inflation to its long term trend. Paul Volcker had to create twin recessions to beat the great inflation. I doubt very much that this Fed will escape without having to make a similar choice. Notes: It is worth remembering that in an economy that is overly financialized and debt burdened, rising rates often break the weakest link in the economic chain. Weak links can be systemically important institutions, sectors or simply a dramatic sell off in the equity markets. That markets are currently in distress is clear. What isn't clear is that the distress is enough to create a systemic risk event. Bonds and equities frequently move into and out of positive and negative correlation in shorter time frames. When I talk about historical correlation I am referring to the very long term.
