SP 500 large count, Primary count 4 wave of the 5thThinking out loud trying to make sense of it all.. Still thinking we have another push up to come before the market makes a larger top. The move could certainly blow off more but I think 5400 range is conservative if we do have a 5th to come. Growth sector is the most beat up and the value rotation doesn't make sense as they are over represented by businesses that will be deeply disrupted by exponential technologies(EV/Hyrdogen/Solar/Biotech/Crypto/3d printing/AI). That seems the best long term sector to rotate to in my opinion. Either way everything will be affected by the massive shift in the underlying and antiquated finance system underpinning everything. Some are calling tops now but historically the market still rises for the first rate rises. But the slowing economy and likely peak in inflation over the last month may tip the feds hand early and maybe they only get a couple of hikes in. If there is a surprise to be had its more likely dovish than hawkish. And it seems unlikely we get concensus to spur growth in government. Deflation likely wins on multiple fronts before inflation gets another hand when the system breaks. The major unknown is exponential growth and the pivot to it...growth will be massive when it ramps up the curve, half of the growth occurs in the last doubling. Many forces colliding. Good luck out there. Cash flow is king.
Macro
GOLD might want to go NORTHGold is forming a bullish pennant . As a PT, I took the lenght of the run before the pennant and copied it at the potential breakout point. However, it could breakout the other way. I think it will mostly depend on the macro situation.
Bitcoin top & bottomDon't know any TA, especially not Fib Channels & Logarithmic Growth Curves.
Meaning, this chart is likely technically wrong (comment on my errors if so).
Anyway, accoring to this amazing chart Bitcoin might bottom out by the end of this month (or beginning of February) at around 37k - 24k.
And then continue to top out at about 200k in July - September.
Followed by a bear market that may bottom a year later at around 30k.

The Commodity SUPER CYCLE is upon us!Hello All!
This is a macro view of Commodities (Metal, Energy, Livestock & Meat and Agriculture). As you can see we have broken out of the falling wedge formation and we are pushing towards 4 main resistance levels. Commodities have not hit a new all time high since 2011 which was during the low of the housing market crash. These levels will be key economic indicators moving forwards into 2022 and beyond. Right now the upward trend has not broken, the levels to watch are posted on the chart.
1. Metals are forming long-term bullish patterns & recent high increase in inflation
2. Meat & Livestock prices have been rising (you can see this in the grocery store) due to Covid & other factors.
3. Gas & Coal have been rising bringing Electric higher. Energy crunch.
4. Energy & Fertilizer prices are increasing which in turn increases agriculture costs.
Economic factors have been driving these prices higher across the board.
This in-turn will increase the cost of living.
