$QQQ Outlook 05/30 - 06/02The tech sector is on a tear. NASDAQ:NVDA earnings set the tone last week and the AI craze is on. NASDAQ:QQQ had a bullish week, closing up +3.53%, bringing it up +8.76% on the month. Strong earnings, job cuts, and developments in AI technology has sent the sector higher.
Technical Analysis: The last two weeks saw NASDAQ:QQQ break out of the rising wedge we were watching. Last week’s high signaled a test of a bullish channel. This channel uses the same uptrend support line we’ve been watching since the beginning of March. We are looking to see if this continues higher, or if the channel resistance is respected.
My general lean for this week is bullish, although after last week’s incredible run, I do expect a bit of a retrace before we head higher. A healthy pullback is due so we can continue to move up this channel. I would be bullish if price action can continue to hold above last week’s close of 348.40.
Bear case if we can break below last week’s open at 336.25. I’d expect a bounce here as it is in the golden pocket (0.618 retrace would be 337.08), but if we cannot hold this level, we could target the gap to fill below down to 332.91 which would invalidate the golden pocket.
Upside Targets: 348.40 → 349.25 → 350.72 → 352.46 → 354.43 Extended: 356.78
Downside Targets: 346.38 → 344.57 → 341.31 → 338.19 → 336.25 Extended: 334.35
$SPY Outlook 05/30 - 06/02With a tentative agreement to raise the debt ceiling reached over the weekend, we now look to see how the markets react when it is voted on later this week.
Technical Analysis: The megaphone pattern we’ve been watching all month is still in play. We also have the macro uptrend line that we have not tested since March.
My general lean for this week is bullish. Bulls will want AMEX:SPY to hold above last week’s open at 418.64. Barring any additional news, I’m expecting us to fill the gap above to 420.77 - 421.22 when markets open on Tuesday. I do see a 15 minute Fair Value Gap around last week’s open at 418.64 where we could potentially form a support base before we head higher into the 423-425 range.
Although I can see the market moving higher in the short term, I’d expect some corrective action in the coming weeks.
Bear case if we fail to hold the 418.64 level, we could potentially retrace to the 0.618 fib at 414.04. Should we invalidate a golden pocket bounce, our next support zone would be the daily gap under the 50 SMA from 409.87- 407.27.
Under this… megaphone plays out and we test the macro support trendline.
Upside Targets: 420.77 → 421.22 → 421.97 → 422.82 → 423.54 Extended: 425.26
Downside Targets: 418.64 → 417.30 → 416.25 → 414.94 → 414.15 Extended: 408.87

🔥 Using Manufacturing PMI To Trade Bitcoin CyclesWhat is the Manufacturing PMI (investopedia)?
The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is an economic indicator that measures the direction of trends in manufacturing and service sectors through a diffusion index. The PMI provides information about current and future business conditions to decision-makers, analysts, and investors. The PMI is based on a monthly survey of supply chain managers across 19 industries, covering both upstream and downstream activity. The PMI affects economic decisions by helping managers in a variety of roles to make production, purchasing, and inventory decisions. Investors can also use the PMI to their advantage, as it is a leading indicator of economic conditions that can yield profitable foresight into developing trends in the overall economy.
To offer better readability, I added a 10-period simple moving average to the PMI.
As seen on the chart, we can derive quite a lot of forecasting power from the US PMI. Once it bottoms BTC tends to go up, and once it tops BTC tends to go down. Even easier: a downward sloping moving average is bad and an upward sloping moving average is good for the markets.
As seen on the chart, it appears that the PMI has bottomed in November of 2022. Since then, both crypto and stocks have not made new lows and are grinding upward.
In the future, I suggest you add the PMI indicator to your long-term market analysis to determine whether it's a favorable time to buy or not.

PMI Data & How it Effects DXYJust to summarise quickly what the ‘Purchasing Manager Index’ is, it’s a monthly data release by the ISM. PMI data is based on 5 survey areas: new orders, inventory levels, production, supplier delivery & employment.
PMI data ranges from 0-100. A PMI reading ABOVE 50 represents expansion in the economy. Whereas, a reading BELOW 50 represents contraction.
Below is the PMI data for March 2023, which came in at 47.7 which shows the economy is contracting. Now to show the importance of this, let me show you the last few times the PMI dropped below 50👇🏻
2008 - The Financial Market Crash🩸
Early 1980’s - Sky High Inflation🩸
Mid 1980’s - Recession which left unemployment at 7.5%. The recession was caused by tight monetary policy from the government , in an ‘effort’ to fight high inflation🩸
ISM PMI Long Term Chart - 04/08/23The ISM currently stands at 46.3%, signaling a contraction.
Business activity is implying that rising interest rates and growing recession fears are starting to weigh on businesses. The reading pointed to a fifth straight month of contraction in factory activity, as companies continue to slow outputs to better match demand for the first half of 2023 and prepare for growth in the late summer/early fall period.
Frequentist's will tell you that the market tends to bottom six months after the ISM drops below 50.00.
In the chart, I've drawn a channel with fib standard deviations.
This will be a good one to save and track

Macro and crypto: What should traders and investors expect?Hello, everyone! Today we would like to discuss macro and crypto, what affects that, what depends on that and what to expect from the market and when the new bull cycle will start
A LITTLE BIT OF THEORY
1. US PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) – macroeconomic indicator that shows the level of business activity.
2. DGS 1&5 – average 1 and 5 year US Treasury yield.
3. FED Funds Rate – the interest rate at which U.S. banks lend their excess reserves for short terms to other banks.
Let’s figure out what's GOOD and what's BAD for the crypto market
1. PMI
Values above 50 are a good sign, the economy is growing, markets have more liquidity.
Values below 50 are a bad sign, the economy is shrinking, there is less and less liquidity in the market.
2. DGS 1/5
High rates are bad, people are used to investing where there is a clear yield and clear rules for receiving returns, where there is less risk.
Low rates are good, bonds do not bring profitability, people are forced to choose more profitable, and therefore risky instruments for the preservation and multiplication of capital
3. FED Funds Rate
High rates are bad, the interest on capital and liquidity is becoming more and more, the required level of profitability must be higher than the prime rate + the rate of the individual counterparty. Liquidity becomes less and less, access to it becomes more and more difficult.
Low rates are good, liquidity is available to everyone, everyone can take funds to realize their goals and objectives, the overall profitability of any business is quite low. Lots of free money in the market.
Which market can be called BULLISH?
1. US PMI values above 50
2. Low DGS values 1/5
3. Low FED Funds Rate
That's the kind of market we had from April 2020 until November-December 2021. At that point, many realized that the music was no longer playing. The FED hammered the last nail in the coffin of the bull market in February-March 2022, and that's when all the fun and the official bear cycle began.
How do we know if the market has flipped and we're growing up again? Recommendations for PATIENT TRADERS
1. US PMI will come out of the crisis – current values are ATL from May 2020
2. The FED will do a soft landing, beat inflation and start lowering rates – very bullish signal. The important thing is to beat inflation, otherwise our bull market will be very short-lived, or the next bear market will be super painful.
3. DGS 1/5 will fall to spring 2020 values
If you see all of this, then unpack your stackable piggy bank and get ready for a hot period, we will be back in the game and the market of universal profits. As practice shows, everyone will have 3 to 6 months to get into their positions and get ready to take off. Also, remember that the market can be irrational, the main thing for everyone is to let their strategy survive it. Markets are capable of being irrational longer than traders will be solvent.
What to do now?
We’ve tried to give an answer to the question in our previous article. And we still stick to this local position. This article will allow you to look at the crypto market within macro analysis and the overall picture. But then everything depends on you!

Eurusd could push further into Daily Zone at 1.07 Before SellersManufacturing data as anticpated, or missed slightly. Causing an initial decline in the EU Price. We are looking to close above 1.0657 on the 4hr for Buyers. Then I can observe it being possible for us to touch 1.07 and push deeper into the daily zone before we see sellers take over or range. If the Daily Candle closes like this, we will see a solid body candle.. and at the leasst expect a top wick on the next daily candle. Which, would be a nice intraday-move up.
Catching Up with the Markets U30 Post Analysis (Daily) Haven't posted on here lately since I have been doing lots of work behind the scenes. :-)
I wanted to share some of my Journal commentary on a trade I took this week around the S&P Global 500 PMI release. This was based on the daily timeframe, and trade was taken on the M5.
DXY Forecast ahead of Core PCE Price Index ReleaseHello guys,
Currently DXY is resting on a strong support area at 101.773.
Just a quick recap.
We had the advanced GDP news release which saw a 2.1% growth in 2022 despite challenges like recession fears and high prices. The job market remained strong and people were optimistic about the future.
If the Core PCE Price Index m/m data release yields are better than expected, price can possibly break the descending trend line before heading towards the overlap resistance at 102.821.
Alternatively, if the yields are below expectations, expect DXY to head towards the previous weekly swing low at 101.297.
Stay safe trading guys! :)
Regards,
Chen Yongjin
EURUSD STRUGGLES TO GO ABOVE 1.0900EURUSD is having difficulty establishing a bullish move above 1.0900 as price has been rejected on several attempts. The latest PMI readings from the eurozone didn’t help matters with a mixed report on the state of economic activities around the bloc. With sentiments of a slow pace Federal Reserve rate hike already weighing the US dollar, the price could still make it over the current psychological price level.
Current Scenario
Price is reacting to the current Resistance level at 1.0900 which could see selling activity towards the intraday support level around 1.0800. Should the near-term support fail to incite a bullish recovery then attention will be on the major level around 1.0750.
Bullish Scenario:
A convincing breakout from 1.0900 could open the door to 1.1000
Bearish Scenario:
A decline below 1.0740 could incite bearish activity but price will still need to contend with an ascending trendline running from September 2022.

Clear trendline up, pattern formed - you could wait for daily close and see if this bearish formation comes into fluorescent.

$JPY - Where to next?$YEN - Where to next?
Well, we are coming into the end of yr but we still have opportunities we could get. Now be careful we will get end of year moves, portfolio adjustment etc.
However, the way I trade I look at key support & resistance levels we have a very important zone of support: 136 half - 135 now break below that - BEARS come out shorter term. BUT If price stays above, I think we have a good chance those bulls are still in control and we are going back towards 140 areas easily.
Now that's my plan minus risk and how I will take my profits - But it's a plan. What's going to be your trade plan for $YEN?
Data wise: PMIs
Have a great weekend,

GBPCADHello everyone!
GBPCAD is under weekly bearish pressure but recently has bounced back up from an important multiyear demand zone.
GB Prime Minister's urgent resignation put selling pressure at the sterlina due to isntability.
I believe that this is temporary and GBP will rise again. But, at first PMI should be released and lets give space to the market to settle on Tuesday.
As price action, Friday's closure formed a long bottom wick indicating weakness of sellers. The pink descending trendline is broken which means a possible trend reversal to bullish bias in the medium term.
Price seems that has rejected 0.618 Fib level in the 4H TF and I a believe that after a very possible drawdown to 1.5236 area, the price will rally up to 1.600 ara.
Goodluck!
