Recession

Market Analysis: The Coming RecessionIn this post, I will present a market analysis with a focus on recession metrics and indicators. Right now, many of them are sending a recession warning. Home Prices - U.S. home prices are surging higher at the fastest quarterly rate of change on record. (See chart below) This extreme rate of change in home prices is occurring as U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage rates also explode higher at nearly the fastest quarterly rate of change on record. (See chart below) Additionally, we see in the chart below that 30-year fixed mortgage rates have potentially broken out into a new uptrend on the longer timeframes. The best way to detect trend reversals is by using the Ichimoku Cloud. When the price closes above or below the cloud (the shaded area) it is considered to have "pierced" the cloud. Once the cloud is pierced to the upside, resistance becomes support. In this case, assuming the piercing sustains, we can see a sustained period of higher interest rates on 30-year fixed mortgages. Exploding home prices and exploding mortgage rates occurring simultaneously is unsustainable. Examine the yearly chart of U.S. home prices below and notice the similarities between 2005 and 2022. Notice that the Stochastic RSI is extended to the upside, and that home price extends above the upper Bollinger Band. Looking at this chart one could reasonably conclude that in the coming years home prices are likely to revert to the mean (orange line), as they did during the Great Recession. Many analysts try to contradict what this chart is suggesting by claiming that we are in much better shape now than during the sub-prime mortgage crisis prior to the Great Recession. But are we really? With spiraling inflation, every mortgage holder suddenly becomes relatively more sub-prime. We also did not see mortgage rates explode then as quickly as they are now. Unemployment - Analysts point out that the current low unemployment is a reason to believe a recession can be averted. But under the surface, that's beginning to change in a hurry. Below is a chart of most leading unemployment data published by the Federal Reserve: Seasonally Adjusted Initial Claims (Weekly). In this chart, we see that in about a period of the past 4 months, the amount of new unemployment claims has risen by around 100,000 or about a 50% increase. Compare this to the chart from the 2007-2008, when the U.S. economy was beginning to enter a recession (the shaded area represents where the recession began): In the period leading up to the Great Recession, we saw a rise of about 50,000 new unemployment claims or about a 15% increase over a similar 4-month period. Therefore, the rate of increase of initial unemployment claims (both in real numbers as a percentage) is higher now than when we entered the Great Recession. Perhaps more worrisome is the difference in how accommodative the Federal Reserve was in response to rising unemployment. Here is how the Fed Funds Rate changed as unemployment began to rise in late 2007 into 2008: As unemployment was rising, the Federal Reserve began to cut interest rates. Compare this to the current situation in the below chart which shows the Federal Reserve raising interest while unemployment is rising. This change in context is reflective of both the fact that the Federal Reserve is behind the curve with containing inflation and the fact that the Federal Reserve is prioritizing the current problem (inflation) at the expense of the future problem (unemployment). We are experiencing a macroeconomic situation whereby rapidly rising initial unemployment claims are being paired with rapidly rising interest rates. This combination is unlikely to end with any other outcome than a recession. For more details on unemployment data see here: www.dol.gov To interact with the initial unemployment claims data on a weekly basis you can go here: fred.stlouisfed.org Yield Curve Inversion - The 10-year minus the 2-year Treasury yield is used to detect an impending recession. When the 2-year yield rises above the 10-year yield that creates a yield curve inversion, which can often indicate that a recession is coming. Right now the yield curve inversion is very steep. In fact, just recently, the yield curve inversion actually steepened to a level that was even worse than what we saw before the Great Recession. Perhaps most alarming are the rates of change in interest rates. Look at the 10-year yield Rate of Change on a 3-month basis: Here's the 2-year yield rate of change: The federal reserve uses the 10-year minus the 3-month as a more reliable indicator for detecting an impending recession than the 10-year minus the 2-year. However, the rate of change for the 10-year yield has been so parabolic to the upside that the 3-month yield has been struggling to invert relative to it. However, that may soon change. Here's the 10-year minus the 3-month yield chart: Volatility - As you know, volatility is measured by the VIX. The yearly Stochastic RSI for the VIX is trending upward, signally the potential for greater volatility now and throughout the years ahead. This part is a little confusing, but try to follow if you can: Volatility of volatility is measured by the VVIX and is considered a leading indicator of the VIX. Currently, the VVIX is so suppressed to downside that the K value of the Stochastic RSI oscilator has reached zero for only the second time ever. (The first and only other time this has happened was in 2008). While this may be more coincidental than predictive, it nonetheless suggests that volatility of volatility has nowhere to go but up. See below. Margin - Margin has already unwinded both in real numbers and as a percentage by a magnitude that is consistent with, and usually only occurs during, a recession. See chart below. Credit to Yardeni Research, Inc. You can view their full report here: www.yardeni.com Stock Market - Several bellwethers in the stock market are showing that, while we may have a robust rebound from extremely oversold levels in the short term, the longer timeframes look quite bearish, especially for the interest rate-sensitive tech and growth sectors. For more details, here is my analysis on the QQQ/SPY relative performance: Tech and growth are not alone in the bearish context. Indeed, the bull run from the end of the Great Recession to the current period has been characterized by increasing prices but decreasing volume. This is generally bearish, and may reflect that quantitative easing was a large cause of the bull run. Now, quantitative easing is ending in the face of spiraling inflation. Other Metrics - There are many other metrics that are used to detect recessions (e.g. GDP, PMI, M2V). Some may even look toward shifts in demographic trends, rising geopolitical tensions, declining globalization and climate change as recessionary factors. While I cannot discuss every possible metric, one last metric worth considering is the corporate bond market. In 2020, during the COVID-19 shutdown, in order to stabilize markets, the Federal Reserve rushed in to save corporate bonds from crashing fearing that high borrowing costs for corporations could cause liquidity issues. Corporate liquidity issues can cause a whole host of issues from bankruptcies to layoffs. Currently, however, corporate bond prices have fallen to nearly that of the COVID low when the Federal Reserve rushed in to buy, yet the Federal Reserve is only just beginning quantitative tightening and just now beginning to roll bonds off its balance sheet. Finally, I will leave you with this note: The time-tested winning strategy is to continue contributing as much as possible to your retirement fund. If the stock market crashes, do not stop or lower your contributions or try to pull money out because you think the world will end. Rather, continue to contribute as much as you can afford no matter what to a retirement mutual fund with diversified holdings. Contributions during market downturns will buy you more shares of your retirement mutual fund relative to the number of shares your contributions bought prior to the market crash. When price rebounds (and it will) you would have been glad to stick to this investment strategy.

DXY AOIS FOR MAJOR CROSS CORRELATION SHORTS AND LONG SETUPSI am personally favouring a long term collapse on DXY. Seeing both buy side and sell side LQ formed writ large between PWH/PWL Monday I will monitor Asia high or low being formed. Hopefully a setup of a retest presents itself in order to reciprocate the idea onto a major cross pair (GU) and potentially go long at some point, whether it be later today, tomorrow, or mid week once LOTW is formed. Will update this publication throughout the week.

The Fed Just Broke SomethingThe chart above shows the CBOE Equity Put Call Ratio (CPCS) . Last week the put-call ratio broke its all-time record high, surpassing the levels seen during the Global Financial Crisis and the March 2020 market crash by almost twice as much. In this post, I will explain my thoughts about what's going on. I welcome others to also give their thoughts in the comments below. Let's begin with the basics of the put-call ratio. The put-call ratio is simply a measure of the relative amount of trading in put options versus call options. Typically the put-call ratio rises during periods of extreme fear in the market, when volatility is also high. Historically, the put-call ratio has been used as a contrarian indicator, meaning that when it is very high it signals that too many market participants are bearish and when it is very low it signals that too many market participants are bullish. Typically anything above 1 is considered too bearish. A put-call ratio above 1 has historically marked significant stock market bottoms. However, something very strange has been happening recently. The put-call ratio has been exploding to such extreme levels that some people are now saying the indicator is broken. Last week, the put-call ratio reached an insanely high level (2.4). Yet, on the day this record spike happened, the VIX was in the low 20s, which is only modestly elevated, (see the chart below). As the chart above shows, a VIX in the low 20s is only slightly above normal. The put-call ratio was so extreme last week that one would have expected the VIX to be off-the-charts. In the chart below, I've calculated the general area (marked by a flag) of where we would have expected the VIX to be if the put-call ratio accurately corresponded to such an extreme put-call ratio. Some market analysts and many people on social media are attributing the unprecedented spike to 0DTE , or Zero Days To Expiration, options trading. Zero Days To Expiration refers to options that are traded on the same day (or within 24 hours) that they expire. This speculative form of trading has proliferated over the past year. Those who cite 0DTE as the reason for a malfunctioning put-call ratio argue that its utility as a contrarian indicator has become confounded at best, or noisy and meaningless at worst. The below chart shows the proliferation of Zero Days To Expiration options trading. When compared alongside the put-call ratio, we can visually garner a potentially high correlation. Some market analysts have stated that the proliferation of 0DTE options trading has become so disruptive that not only has it broken the role that the put-call ratio plays as a contrarian indicator, but it has broken the essential role that the VIX plays in measuring volatility. The VIX, which is calculated based on only S&P 500 options expiring 23 to 37 days into the future, may not be properly capturing the true panicked nature of market participants who are mostly trading options with much less time until expiration. Yet, questions remain, even when considering the rising prevalence of 0DTE options trading. Specifically, why is 0DTE causing puts trading, in particular, to increase so dramatically? The answer is likely that 0DTE option trading is not the only cause of the exploding put-call ratio. Some informed market participants have argued that the Fed's extreme monetary tightening is largely to blame, though their reasoning is not as obvious as it may seem. Although it's likely true that the Fed's tightening is likely driving up fear and causing market participants to load up on puts. The more informed explanation involves an arbitrage strategy that seeks to take advantage of those who are loading up on puts. An academic paper entitled, Put Option Exercise and Short Stock Interest Arbitrage , explains this strategy. The strategy takes advantage of those holding deep in-the-money puts with no time value remaining and which ought to be exercised such that the cash can earn interest. Above is a screenshot of the academic paper, which I cannot distribute because of copyright restrictions. I can only show the abstract which is publicly available. For educational purposes, I will cite a small excerpt from the article to explain exactly how the strategy works: The game involves capturing short open interest. The game, dubbed “short stock interest arbitrage,” involves simultaneously buying and selling a large (relative to existing open interest), but equal, number of deep ITM puts and then immediately exercising the long puts. Since exercises are randomly assigned to open short positions, the arbitragers systematically capture the dominant share of the total short open interest and thereby earn the dominant share of the forfeit interest. Now that the Federal Reserve has dramatically hiked interest rates, this strategy is much more lucrative than in the past since the interest that can be earned by arbitragers is much higher. Furthermore, the stock market's decline in 2022 caused more puts to become in the money thereby expanding the volume of puts traded by arbitrageurs. Since this strategy is non-directional, meaning the strategy involves simultaneously buying and selling an equal number of puts, its net effect is theoretically zero. Thus, this strategy's proliferation may be causing the put-call ratio to malfunction. Despite these reasons, other market participants have speculated that the extremely high put-call ratio is due to large institutions and other informed market players loading up on large hedges because they believe a major market crash is coming. While this is largely speculative, there is some evidence that informed institutions are becoming increasingly concerned about a liquidity crisis due to the Federal Reserve's tightening. Last month, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) recently issued an unusual warning about the potential for a liquidity crisis in the global FX swaps and forwards market. Link to the BIS article: www.bis.org The BIS, which is often thought of as the central bank for central banks, explained that dollar payment obligations in the FX swaps and forwards market are generally not recorded on balance sheets and that the risks associated with these debts could be understated by tens of trillions of dollars. In effect, the Federal Reserve's rapid rate hikes have caused the U.S. dollar to rapidly become more valuable relative to other currencies, creating risks in the FX swaps and forwards market that were not fully anticipated. In some regards, the actual causes of the breakdown of the put-call ratio are not as relevant as the mere fact that it has broken down. According to Exter's Pyramid (shown below), during periods of extreme instability of asset classes lower down on the inverted pyramid, everything higher up becomes some degree more unstable. The meteoric rise in Treasury yields has made everything above shakier, especially derivatives. Rapidly rising Treasury yields are destabilizing the highly-leveraged derivatives market in unanticipated ways.   Now that U.S. Treasurys suddenly yield much more, this means that capital will tend to flow lower down the pyramid into them. Leaving riskier assets higher up vulnerable to collapse. Despite all of this, some market participants continue to believe that the put-call ratio is still a reliable contrarian indicator. These market participants argue that whenever fear is high, people always say "this time is different" when in fact it is not. They believe that not only is the put-call ratio indicator still working but it is indicating a high chance for a major short squeeze. Only time will tell what will become of the current situation. Yet, one thing is for certain. Despite the highest put-call ratio on record last week, the rules of good trading and good investing remain the same. No matter the fear, volatility or crisis that may transpire, if one adheres to these principles, one will be successful.

What if.... what if we have a yield curve that hasn't been inverted this much in 40 years what if we've enjoyed 15 straight years of bull markets what if this is just the start of the correction what if I told you that I've tested 50 indicators and identified that this correction (on a weekly scale) thus far has matched identically to the START of the dot com bubble (on a daily scale)- March 2000 to June 2000 what if I told you that if you scale the duration of start of the dot com crash to this correction, this correction would be 5.9 X the duration of the dot com bubble and this correction will end it 4.5 years. I'd encourage you to examine the start of the dot com bubble from March 2000 to June 2000 (daily scale) and compare to the current weekly Nasdaq technicals and see for yourself. I hope this isn't the case, but what if... Good Luck

The US bought 200 billion worth of options is 200 billion of stocks to sell to get the market flat. Lower highs and weekly and daily rejections on Friday. see the market getting its recession on Monday, Delta in options across the board was at yearly highs. DAX rallied with EU meeting. But didn't make a new high. Created a lower high and volume didn't make a new high on Friday. Many facts to see the market as topped out. Options data with market analysis. See the market crash by about 50-70%. Because of the deflation cycle coming, we need. The dollar needs to come back up and inflation needs to hit negative numbers to have expansion room for the future. Best Regards Robin,

#Bitcoin #BTC #BTCUSD Are We There Yet? A Year LaterThe question on everyone's lips, are we there yet? Is the #BearMarket bottom in? Almost 1 year ago to the day I shared my Bitcoin bottoms up idea: Which used Ben Cowen's risk indicator to indicate the bottom or top of the Bitcoin market waves. The theory for using this indicator is as follows: 1. Bottoms must be below 0.20 2. Tops must be over 0.85 3. Anything below 0.60 but over 0.20 is accumulation As you can see the indicator called the following tops and bottoms: 2011 Bear Market Bottom 2013 Bull Market Top 2015 Bear Market Bottom 2017 Bull Market Top 2018 Bear Market Bottom 2020 Covid-19 Crash Bottom (Black Swan Event) 2021 Bull Market Top That means that this theory of use for the indicator has correctly identified every significant bottom or top since 2011 apart from the November 2021 blow off. While the November 2021 blow off top is not completely insignificant many do not count this as the top from a technical point of view and there are a host of valid reasons for that. If we take a look to the present day we can see that between the end of June and October 2022 the indicator dropped below 0.20, which begs the question, was that the bottom? I have marked 14th November 2022 as the possible bottom and there are strong indications that this is the case. However, what we must remember is the wider picture and the likely recession that is incoming (Bitcoin has never experienced a recession so will be unprecedented times). I therefore believe we will see an accumulation phase, without breaking above the 0.60 level before returning back down for one final plummet to put in a further low (in much the same way we put in a higher high after the top was called in late 2021). For me the sensible play is to allow the time to pass more before entering the market, as mentioned these are unprecedented times, with the Ukraine/Russia war and looming recession. The risk of further lows is far higher than the possible risk of not catching the exact bottom price in my opinion. Having said that if you did enter around 15.5, and I know some who did, you cannot say it was a bad move at all. Let me know what you think

2023 Crisis In my own eyes THIS IS JUST A THOUGHT OF SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AT THE MARKET FROM A BEAR POINT OF VIEW- NO ADVISE Publishing here the history of economics effect on stock market I took the last couple of crisis (bubble at 2000 and the real estate crisis on 2008) and added the bellow charts - Inflation - Interest - Unemployment Once thing is clear- each time inflation went up- The fed increased the intersect rate and unemployment went down to the lowest points of the decade or more - When unemployment reached the bottom, we were getting towards the top of the market (on 2008) or in the middle of the fall down (2001) - UNEMPLOYMENT RATE NEVER REACHED THE BOTTOM WHEN THE CRISIS WAS OVER OR DURRNING THE UPTREND ON THE ABOVE CRISIS -When Inflation rates got to the pick level - the market was either still climing or in the begining of the fall - INFLATION RATES NEVER PICKED OR STAYED HIGH FOR A LONG TIME WHILE THE MARKET BOTTOMED - THE PRIOD OF AT LEAAST 7 MONTHS WE HAD THE HIGH INTRESET RATE AT THEIR PICK - AND IT HAPPENED WHILE THE MARKETS WERE CRASHING THE SIGANL FOR THE BOTTOM USUALLY CAME WHEN THE INFALTION CAME TO IT'S LOWEST POINT - DRAMATIC MOVES OF THE INFLATION GOING DOWN - WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CRASH AND TOWARDS THE END WHEN WE HIT THE BOTTOM - Were are we now 4-2023??? In My Opinion: - We are in the beginning of the big crash, we are going to sink hard to new low level, we will visit the highest levels of the market before the CORONA (February 2020) - I really think we will have a hard recession which will take 5-7 years or more to get back to the tops of the ETFs (QQQ/ SPY etc...) We are being fouled at the moment the the bottom already happened, as nothing is shiny in the near/ far furture - AAPL IS ONLY 9% FROM IT'S ATH (MAKE SENCE??) not to me - VIX IN ITS LOWEST FOR THE PAST 1+ YEAR (USUALLY THE MARKET WILL PUT ALL TO SLEEP BEFORE THEY DROP THE KNIFES) - LAYOFF SEASON HAS BEGAN AT THE BIG COMANIES - FED DECLEARED A SOFT RECESSION (WHEN THEY SAY SOFT IT'S THE SAME AS WHEN THEY SAID TRANSITORY INFLATION - PLEASE REMEMBER !!! - INTRESET RATE?? NEXT 0.25 IS COMING IN 2 WEEKS - WHAT IS THE CATALIST FOR THE MARKET TO GO HIGH?? NOTHING (In My Opinion) THIS IS JUST A THOUGHT OF SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AT THE MARKET FROM A BEAR POINT OF VIEW- NO ADVISE

Insane S&P 500 Futures ChartThis is a weekly chart of the difference between the front month contract and the next contract in front for S&P 500 Futures. (Don't worry, you don't need to understand this lingo to understand this post, but if you'd like more information about what front month contract and next contract in front mean, I added links at the bottom of this post. To put it simply, this chart allows us to extrapolate what the market is currently pricing in for the future). With that said, you may look at this chart and think it looks like just noise. You'd be right: it does look like noise, literally. Below is a diagram of actual sound waves. These sound waves are from a human voice. The sound waves of a human voice always encode a message. Likewise, this futures chart has encoded an insane message... To decode the message in this chart, let's first overlay a moving average. It doesn't matter too much which moving average you select, but I like to use the 20-period moving average because it's usually considered the mean for a given timeframe, and is the basis for the Bollinger bands. It will help us get rid of the extreme noise oscillations and allow us to just analyze the underlying price action. Below is a chart of the 20-week MA applied to the chart. It's hard to see the moving average, so let's now hide the noise and only show the moving average. The chart is much cleaner and looks a lot different. Does it look familiar at all? If we add the Fed Funds Rate it will... As you can now see, it appears that this S&P 500 futures chart is a leading indicator of the Fed Funds rate. However, we cannot go by looks alone and we should validate this hypothesis. We can do this by calculating correlation values. See the below chart. It appears that the correlation values (R, R-Squared and P values) generally seem to validate the conclusion that this S&P 500 futures chart is a leading indicator for the Fed Funds rate. Now here's where things get pretty insane... We can use this chart to extrapolate how high the Fed Funds rate may go. To get a refined look, we need to use a smaller moving average. Smaller moving averages can give us a more refined picture. To do this, I will drop the moving average down to the 5-week MA. Here's what that chart looks like... Look how high the 5-week MA is right now. Since June, it has exceeded the highs we saw in 2007, before the Great Recession when the Fed Funds rate was 5.25%. Right now the S&P 500 Futures chart appears to be pricing in a Fed Funds Rate of about 6%. That's considerably higher than the 3.5% terminal rate currently predicted by the Fed. With this said, the Fed is a free agent. It is not bound to hike to the level that the S&P 500 futures, as evidenced by this chart, may be pricing in. However, there's a cost to staying behind the curve: If the Fed fails to hike enough, inflation can spiral out of control with the expectations of further inflation amplifying the upward spiral. Companies raise prices in anticipation of higher inflation, workers demand higher and higher wages and the cycle begins to spiral out of control. Whereas, if the Fed continues to hike more and more aggressively to fight inflation at all costs, despite inflationary pressures being supply-related and not just demand-related, then it will destroy the flow of credit, and force massive deleveraging. Regardless of which path the Fed chooses, a major economic downturn is virtually unavoidable.

Reasons and Effects of RecessionHi everyone, Today, I am here with informative content. Let me start by saying that it will be a bit long, but let's learn what "Recession" means in detail. 🚩Recession can be defined as an economic downturn period. It is generally characterized by a decline in the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country in one or more quarters. Recession is associated with a series of economic indicators, such as rising unemployment rates, a decrease in consumer spending, and a general slowdown in economic activity. 🚩Recessions usually occur as part of the economic cycle and move with periods of economic growth. Some recessions may be shorter and less severe, while others may be longer and more severe. Recessions are generally attempted to be alleviated through economic incentives such as monetary policy, tax cuts, or increases in government spending. 🚩During a period when the economy slows down in general, financial markets are also affected. Recessions affect the prices of assets such as stocks, bonds, and commodities. Below are some examples of how recessions affect money markets: 🏳️Stocks: Stock prices usually decline during recession periods. Since the profitability of businesses decreases, investors tend to sell stocks as they expect a decrease in the company's future earnings potential. Therefore, during recession periods, there are often declines in stock markets. 🏳️Bonds: During recession periods, bonds usually have more demand. This may be due to investors turning to a safer investment. Bond interest rates may decline, and some investors may turn to safer but lower-yielding bonds from higher-risk assets. 🏳️Gold and other commodities: Gold and other commodities usually have demand during recession periods. This may be due to investors looking for a safer haven. Gold is a widely used "safe haven" asset worldwide, and its price usually rises during recession periods. 🏳️Currencies: Exchange rates between currencies can also change during recession periods. For example, currencies of countries with slowing economies usually decline, while currencies of countries with stronger economies usually become more valuable. 🚩The 2008 global financial crisis was triggered by a collapse that began in the US mortgage market. This collapse started when mortgage lenders turned high-risk mortgage loans into high-risk debts by commercializing them. Mortgage debts were then packaged with various debt instruments and sold in financial markets by investment banks. The collapse of debt instruments resulted in unpaid mortgage debts, a decline in house prices, and more homeowners facing financial difficulties. This situation turned into a mortgage crisis that began in 2007 and lasted until the middle of 2008. 🚩FED made several statements in the early 2008 indicating that there was a "mild recession" in the US economy. However, the FED failed to take necessary precautions for the collapse of the mortgage market to turn into a crisis. One reason why FED could not take necessary precautions for the collapse of the mortgage market to turn into a crisis was due to the loose regulations of financial institutions in the US and permission to finance risky debts with high leverage. Therefore, the statements made by FED in early 2008 could have been made to maintain market confidence. 🚩However, towards the end of 2008, the mortgage crisis deepened and turned into a global financial crisis, which resulted in many financial institutions going bankrupt, unemployment rates rising, and a significant decline in the world economy. As a result, the statements made by FED in 2008 were based on the assumption that the mortgage crisis would result in a less severe recession. However, this assumption did not come true, and the mortgage crisis turned into a global financial crisis. These events have shown that regulatory institutions need to closely monitor risks in financial markets and complexity in debt instruments. Similarities and Differences: 🚩We can say the following about the similarities and differences between the 2008 global financial crisis and a potential crisis: Similarities: • Both the 2008 crisis and a potential crisis could begin with a collapse in financial markets. • Both crises can affect many economic sectors and countries. • Crises usually cause a decline in economic activity and a rise in unemployment rates. • Both crises may require central banks to intervene through monetary policies by lowering interest rates. Differences: • The 2008 crisis began with the collapse of high-risk loans in the mortgage market. The start of a potential crisis may depend on a different cause or event. • The 2008 crisis resulted in the bankruptcy of many financial institutions. In a potential crisis, the situation of financial institutions or the structure of financial instruments may be different. • The 2008 crisis turned into a global financial crisis. The magnitude of a potential crisis will depend on how widespread the crisis is, which sectors are affected, and whether the crisis has a global impact. • In a potential crisis, countries' economic structures and policies before the crisis may have a different impact on the severity and duration of the crisis. 🚩In conclusion, any economic crisis cannot be predicted in advance, and we cannot know its definite results beforehand. However, by looking at the causes and consequences of past crises, we can say that uncertainty and fluctuations in financial markets and economic activity are significant during crisis periods. Possible Impact on Cryptocurrencies: 🚩Predicting the impact of a potential recession on cryptocurrency assets and Bitcoin is a difficult issue. However, in case of uncertainty in financial markets and investors avoiding risky assets, it is possible for cryptocurrencies to lose value. On the other hand, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may act as a safe haven asset, especially in times of economic turmoil, and may increase in value. Differences Between Technical Recession and Real Recession 🚩Technical recession is a situation where the economy has a declining growth rate for a certain period (usually a quarter or more). In this case, a country's economy shows a decline for two consecutive quarters. Technical recession is generally considered an indicator of an economic downturn period. 🚩Real recession, on the other hand, is an economic downturn period where economic indicators such as rising unemployment rates and decreasing consumer spending sharply decrease. One of the most important determinants of a real recession is the unemployment rate in an economy. When unemployment rates rise in an economy, the purchasing power of the unemployed people decreases, and as a result, consumer spending declines. 🚩The difference between the two terms is that technical recession only refers to a two-quarter economic downturn period, while real recession refers to more extended, usually more severe, and more serious economic problems such as an increase in unemployment. Let's Take a Look at the 2001 and 2008 Crises 🚩In the past, the US economy entered a technical recession several times, but also experienced real recessions. For example, in 2001, the US economy shrank for two quarters, and technically, a recession occurred. However, the main reason for this economic downturn was the burst of the high-tech bubble. Therefore, the contraction in the economy was only caused by a temporary factor, and there was no significant change in other economic indicators. 🚩However, after the 2008 financial crisis, the US economy went through a more severe recession. This crisis was caused by subprime mortgages and other risky financial instruments. The crisis led to significant losses in financial markets and the bankruptcy of major banks. As a result, economic growth slowed down, unemployment rates increased, and consumer spending declined. This situation was evaluated as a real recession, and the US economy struggled to recover for a long time. 🚩The Fed has taken various steps to address technical and real recessions in the US economy by regulating interest rates and using monetary policy tools. For example, after the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed reduced interest rates to zero and tried to support financial markets using monetary policy tools. These steps helped the economy to recover, and the US economy started to grow again. If you've read this far, you probably liked this content.

#SPX500 8.5 YEAR EXPANDING FLATThe market moves in waves and patterns. This is a macro expanding flat on the #SPX500 that corrected for 8.5 years! During the A and C wave of the expanding flat, there were so called "recessions", the 2002 and 2008 recessions. Or were they just A and C waves of a macro expanding flat? It is interesting how the patterns a chart makes predicts the future of reality on a macro level. The rules for an expanding flat is that the top of the B wave pops above the top of the preceding impulse and the bottom of the C wave pops below the low of the A wave. It is at that moment you can start to look for buys for an expanding flat and hold on to an extension of the impulse!

Major Recession on the Basis of Yield CurveThe US Treasury Yield Curve is currently inverted, meaning short term interest rates higher than long term interest rates. This unusual occurrence, called a yield curve inversion, has historically been a very reliable indicator of an upcoming economic recession. Since World War II every yield curve inversion has been followed by a recession in the following 6-18 months, and recessions are naturally correlated with decreased stock market returns. The yield curve has not been this lowin over 40 years. The yield curve indicator is always followed by a major drop. Triggering of the yield curve indicator also (ALWAYS) lags the yield curve inversion. In other words, the yield curve inversion must return positive before the indicator triggers. This is due to the lagging effects of interests rates on the economy. That being said, since the yield curve is currently severely low, we can expect (another) yield curve indicator to be triggered later. Once it is triggered, I expect a long-term decline of the markets. Based on historical data, the decline will last several months, if not years. Best of luck (not financial advice).

S&P EMAs at Historical Critical PointCME_MINI:ES1! So I opened the chart at the weekend and flicked through the time frames and upon punching the Weekly I noticed the 21EMA and the 89EMAs were pretty tight. I decided the rest of the morning looking through the historical relationship of these two EMAs. It turns out that each time the 21EMA has come down to the 89EMA, there has been a violent reaction. In general, when there are moderate to minimal macros effecting the markets, this reaction represents a strong opportunity to long. In fact, the 21EMA has never dipped below the 89EMA and recovered until months to years later. On the flip side, on the two occasions the 21EMA did dip below the 89EMA, was in 2001 and 2008...two very significant moments in market history. I also noted that once the break happens the S&P tends to bottom at around 40%-50% of that breaking point. If we were to use today's valuation, a 45% drop from today is around 2200. That is also the bottom of the COVID crash i.e. where the real market was going to be trading before infinite stimulus was provided by the Fed. I found this interesting as it seems in these troubling times and with a 'nuclear winter' around the corner in Europe, there is a real macro concern for markets. I'm leaning bearish and I think this rally will fail like every rally this year and lead the 21EMA below the 89EMA. Obviously, I react to the chart and should there be a strong reaction off the touch upwards, I will be flipping bullish.

Rhyming Recessions The old saying goes that history may not repeat but sure can rhyme. The talks and fear of recession looms and many of its effects can already be seen in the markets and greater economic world. These charts compare the leading events to the last great recession in 2008. Both charts have had round off top which led to a correction. This was followed by bounce, which may explain the recent pump in traditional markets. If this is the bull trap, then the 100WMA may be a key indicator as to when prices may hit resistance and capitulate. I found that percentage drop and increase in recent prices very similar leading towards the 08 crash. Also, price found support on the 1500WMA after correcting over 53% from the 100WMA. Perhaps leading into the later stages of this year employment rates would be another key indicator to keep track off, as if this declines it would probably end the year in a recession. Interesting to note also is that BTC and NASDAQ is also reaching its 100WMA and any rejection seen on them may ripple and affect markets.
