Corn Futures Test and Defend Significant Support Corn
Technicals: In yesterday’s morning report we wrote that the early morning weakness below the 50-day moving average (near 780), stating that it “opens the door for a potential retest of significant support from 747-753”. That support was tested and held to a T through the session and in the overnight/early morning trade. Now it’s up to the Bulls to defend it during the regular trading hours. One thing that might help is this week’s options expiration. There is a lot of open interest in the 750 strike, which may help the market consolidate, we talked about this in yesterday afternoon’s Tech Talk. Feel free to reach out with questions or to get these videos.

Indexes and Cryptos under the pump so where to for markets now?The Morning Jumpstart Weekly Review 20/06/22...key levels to watch on major markets for the coming week!!
Cryptocurrencies remain under pressure and I expect that things will get worse before they potentially get better as we see cracks appearing in the underlying fundamentals of the asset class. Solana is taking an unprecedented step of freezing a large account that goes against the idea of a decentralised exchanges...and will potentially trigger shockwaves in the crypto space. Major share market Indexes are heading lower as traders unwind risk assets in the face of raising interest rates and continued high inflation.
The general trend for major Indexes remains down with the the USD in the driving seat....continuing to be careful into shares as prices could continue the trend lower.

DIA Historical CorrectionsThis is a macro perspective on the cycles of DIA.
I want to focus on all time highs and the corrections that come after.
Currently DIA is sitting at about a 19% decrease from all time high value.
As the chart suggests, this market could drop even further. Don't be surprised if it does. These things happen.
Making Sense of the Chaos and Recognizing CyclesHey everyone!
Due to the recent financial sell offs, I've seen many panic and even claim "an end to financial markets". In fact, I understand their concerns. However, many of these individuals are newbs or have not taken a close look at the history of the asset(s) they hold. This is exactly why I have chose to begin posting again and would like to explore the long term history of a few assets and asset classes in an effort to calm any anxiety in others that I can. I will be focusing on historical market corrections.
Nothing of what I say or demonstrate is individualized financial advice to any degree. I am a speculator. You should not place trades based upon my analysis. You should not listen to a word I say. This is for pure entertainment value only and any losses you take is because you took that risk yourself. I am not liable for your actions.
Ok, let's do this!
A very long term look at SPX shows a volatile ride. The chart you see is a monthly log chart compressed to demonstrate as much of SPX as possible. As you can see there are many ups and downs. The data provided dates back all the way to the 1870s. So, this is where I will begin.
I will be adding pictures and details about the pictures in the updates or comments sections. It's been a while since I posted, please, be patient with me.
SPY short rally starting? I been charting SPY every different angle and time frame possible. Its next to impossible. lol but I did find this, which would make a case for a temporary bounce. I have 4 confluences. 1. SPY rally off the 200 sma on the 3day time frame. 2. Fibonacci extension from this wave down is a perfect 2.618 which lines up perfectly with 0.382 fib retracement from the previous low on march 23, 2020. 4. SPY is throwing a bullish hammer on the 1 day, 2 day, 3 day. If it does play out and rallies to the fib retracement line 0.236, that would make a total 10% gain, and 6% from where it is currently at 3966.
Daily Soybean Market Update (6.14.22)Soybeans
Fundamentals: Yesterday's weekly crop progress report showed the U.S. soybean crop is 88% planted, 70% emerged, and a Good/Excellent rating of 70%. There were no major surprises here. Yesterday's weekly export inspections report came in at 605,129 metric tons, well above the 365,455 last week and 141,320 we saw in the same week last year.
Technicals: Soybean futures broke through support from 1720-1728, this will now act as resistance. A close back above here opens the door for a potential run back at the contract highs and above. There is some trendline support from May 17th-June 7th that is holding well over the past 24 hours. A break and close below here could spark a drop back below $17.00.

Daily Corn Market Update: Fundamental/Techncial Analysis 6.14.22Corn
Fundamentals: Yesterday’s weekly Crop Progress report showed corn is 97% planted, 88% emerged, and Good/Excellent conditions at 72%. All within the range of expectations. Yesterday’s weekly export inspections came in at 1,199,976. This was also within the range of expectations. Dr. Cordonnier increased Brazilian corn production by 3mmt to 110mmt. The USDA is at 116mmt, we believe the market is pricing in somewhere in the middle of those two estimates.
Technicals (July): July corn futures were lower yesterday, but finished off the lows, closing right near our pivot pocket, 769-773 ½. We are seeing some of yesterday’s weakness spill over into the overnight/early morning session following yesterday afternoon’s crop progress report. Technical levels remain largely intact. Resistance remains intact from 789 ½-790 ½. A continued failure to reclaim ground above here would mark a lower high, which would keep the door open for a potential lower low and a drop back to the 100-day moving average, 726 ½. The inflection point for a bigger drop would be a break and close below 747-753.

Daily Wheat Market Update (6.14.22)Wheat
Technicals (July): More of the same for wheat, as we continue to trade in a range, albeit a wide range. Wheat futures continue to chop around from about 1030 on the low end and 1100 on the high end. A breakout or breakdown from these levels could pop or drop the market 50 cents relatively quickly. Our bias is Neutral at the moment, but we would be looking to be lean bearish at higher levels. When we say higher levels, we are talking about a retracement of the May 31st breakdown point near 1150.

Key markets to watch and levels for entry setupsShare markets bounced back as the European and US markets brush aside higher inflation on the back of resilient Consumers. Markets are only in correction mode and have not built a longer term base so I expect a grind up prior to another bout of selling pressure to come in to the action. The Fed does not seem as intent on containing inflation as first thought as we see the USD re-adjust lower.
The general trend for major Indexes remains down with the the USD in the driving seat....continuing to be careful into shares as prices could continue the trend lower.
BITCOIN and ETHEREUM are struggling to find buyers as prices hold lower highs and edge down into major low territory. Concern is that there is more downside to come as bulls remain on the sidelines.

SPX S&P500 AnalysisLong term view of SPX
I'm using
FIb retracement-logscale (orange)
Trend Based Fib extension-log scale (color)
Comparison between the last three major deeps. I the three last tops.
My personal view is that the SPX is going to go down to the 50ma (monthly chart) / 0.382 on the FIb retracement, and then continue its rally to 100% in the trend-based fib extension maybe till 2030 then a major crash.
Time will tell.
Volatility is contained, but for how long?Despite the Russia-Ukraine war, despite inflation being at record highs, the DXY making a new high since 2015-2016, the bond market being in its largest bear market and with equities down 20-30%, the VIX hasn't really spiked yet. So far volatility has been contained and every time the VIX would get overbought at 35 or above, it would slowly get back down. However I don't believe that it can get much lower without spiking first. In the short term it could get down to 20, but given the current circumstances, it is very hard for me to imagine that the top for the VIX won't come at around 48 or above. It is also very hard for me to imagine that it would get significantly below 20, therefore going long the VIX at 20 or below is a great strategy until the Fed pivots. However once it gets to 48 or higher it is time to start going long everything as the Fed is probably going to step in and try to save markets.
Trading plan and review of Key Levels for major marketsReview of the key levels in the major markets as the US bounces back Friday following of from a strong Asian and European session. Bargain hunters taking the opportunity to buy in an extended market so the questions is whether this bounce can gather momentum higher.
The general trend for major Indexes remains down with the USD, Inflation and Interest Rate Rises in focus.
BITCOIN and ETHEREUM took a beating as BTC spiked below $30k to take out some stops. Crypto enthusiasts will be hoping to see BTC back above the $30K area to fend off more selling pressure.

Oil Bearish Structure - WTICOUSDBearish structure within a bearish structure.. going with bearish on this one.
Oil is interesting because Russia, which supplies 10% or the world's oil supply (per a quick google search), is no longer selling the world its petro.
Maybe demand is falling off...? Maybe Russia was cut "out" and another country was allowed "in"?
I don't know, but price looks bearish for now.
God bless.
USDCNH Update - Major Breakout UnderwayIf you bought this pair when I first featured it here, you have made money. If you were leveraged 50:1 - which - often is the case in forex, you have likely returned more (% returned) in this trade than what you can expect in three years of investing in a vanilla benchmark-tracking 401K.
I remain long USDCNH and will continue to cover it for the foreseeable future.
Something to consider: such a rapid deterioration of the Yuan is reason to speculate the Chinese economy is becoming increasingly decoupled from anything that resembles the last 10-12 years of price action. For example, if the Yuan were to surpass $7.20, I would start to suspect two possible (again I can't "predict" anything) situations:
1. The Chinese economy in severe distress (hopefully not).
2. Intentional disregard for participation in the global economy, as it exists currently (hopefully not).
Again, we are not there YET; all we can do is read the chart and analyze information / data as it becomes available.
Pray for peace.
God Bless
US saved from another red session thanks to a late rallyUS markets rallied in the last hour to move from negative to positive territory ahead of the FOMC statement on inflation and interest rates. Gold took a beating as Gold and inflation bulls shake their heads. The USD continued to hover around highs which I expect will be the same theme for the coming few sessions before the FOMC meeting. Traders remain mixed with regards to inflation so expecting to see more choppy intraday action.
