Today’s Notable Sentiment ShiftsUSD – The dollar rose on Monday, lifted by safe-haven flows after the United States and European allies considered banning Russian crude imports, causing uncertainty over the global growth outlook as oil prices hit 14-year highs. Oanda noted that “The Russia-Ukraine conflict is continuing to lead to further surges across several commodities, which is threatening growth prospects for the year… There are a growing amount of jilters that will probably keep the dollar supported, as you’re going to see the Us economy is still nicely positioned in the short term because it’s not as dependent on Russian energy supplies as Europe is.”

Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) TA:22.3.5 Bitcoin failed to stabilize inside the bullish channel and above the support of 39800 to 40500, and this shows the selling pressure in the market.

Things to Remember As the Market Dynamics ChangeA successful trader must be like a chameleon, willing to change with market conditions. Markets reflect the economic and geopolitical landscapes. The global pandemic changed many assumptions, forcing market participants to develop new skills to deal with the price carnage in early 2020. The impact of unprecedented central bank liquidity and government stimulus caused the need to pivot and adapt to new conditions. Plan first- Trade or invest later Risk-reward is critical Leverage is a function of price variance Stick to the game plan There are always other opportunities in volatile markets In early 2022, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has turned the world upside down. The US, Europe, and allies worldwide support Ukraine by providing aid and slapping Russia with sanctions. However, the meeting between the Russian leader and Chinese President Xi at the Beijing Winter Olympics was a watershed event and may have set the stage for the incursion. China and Russia entered into a long-term $117 billion agreement for Russia to supply energy and other commodities to the world’s most populous country with the second-leading economy. The deal could make US and European sanctions toothless or lessen the bite on Russia’s economy as President Putin moves to take the former Soviet satellite back under his umbrella. With the US, NATO, and other allies on one side and China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran on the other, the risk of a confrontation with nuclear ramifications dramatically increased. The pandemic has given way to a geopolitical crisis, requiring another pivot by investors and traders to deal with the current environment. Volatility is likely to be the norm instead of the exception for the foreseeable future. The increasing price variance is a nightmare for passive investors but creates many opportunities for nimble traders with their fingers on the pulse of markets. Success in markets always requires discipline, and increased volatility only makes discipline more critical. In early March 2022, we must remember the key factors that increase the odds of success in markets. Plan first- Trade or invest later Organization and planning are critical in life, and trading and investing are no exception. In a highly volatile market, planning becomes even more essential. We follow three rules for considering any risk position: Respect the market sentiment- The path of least resistance reflects market sentiment, making the trend your only friend in markets across all asset classes. Write down your ideas, planning, organizing, and memorializing your thoughts. Referring back to the original justification for a trade or investment will remind you of the thought process. Do not trade or invest for the sake of participating in any market. The risks in over-trading or investing without a plan increase with price volatility. When considering entering any risk position, eliminate any emotional impulses by ignoring the news cycle and so-called “expert” advice. The price action is the most objective view of the market’s interpretation of the geopolitical and economic landscapes. Risk-reward is critical Any plan needs to outline the risk tolerance, which must be a function of profit targets. We follow three rules regarding risk versus reward: The risk-reward equation should be at least 1:1, meaning do not risk more than your expected profit level. Higher price variance should increase the expected reward level compared to the risk. Even the most successful traders call the market’s direction wrong more than right. A higher reward target versus risk increases the potential for success over time, allowing for small losses and higher profits. Never increase the risk level because an asset price moves contrary to expectations. Admitting you are wrong can be humbling, but it is a critical element for financial survival. Risk-reward is the essential part of a plan that establishes the discipline necessary for success. Risk-reward levels should always reflect price variance, and higher price volatility requires more expansive risk-reward levels. Leverage is a function of price variance Leverage can be a blessing or a curse. Greed and fear are impulses that drive human behavior. Leverage levels should always reflect market volatility. In volatile markets, reduce leverage to protect capital. In static markets where volatility declines, increasing leverage is more appropriate. When risk positions are in the money, greed drives us to feel we are not long or short enough. Fear makes us believe we are too long or short when they are out of the money. A plan and the appropriate leverage will help avoid listening to the little voice in our heads that incites the fear and greed impulses. Stick to the game plan Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Markets are not forgiving when they move against our expectations. Sticking to a game plan prepares you for the sock in the kisser. The risk level should be set in stone at the beginning of any trade or investment. It is acceptable to increase reward horizons when prices move in our favor. A risk position is always long or short at the current price, not the execution price. Assess risk at each price level and adjust levels accordingly. Adjust risk levels using trailing stops when an asset’s price moves in the desired direction. Never allow a profitable position to become a loser by expanding the original risk level. Protect capital by protecting profits and have the fortitude to take small losses by sticking to the original game plan. When prices move contrary to expectations, admit to yourself you were wrong. When prices move in your favor, do not allow greed to creep into the plan. There are always other opportunities in volatile markets Most traders or investors will miss many trades and investment opportunities. Do not despair! In volatile markets, there is always another opportunity right around the corner. Markets reflect the geopolitical and economic landscapes. The dynamics have dramatically changed with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Elevated volatility in markets across all asset classes will be the norm, not the exception. When approaching markets, do the work and write down a plan. Make sure it has a logical risk-reward balance that reflects price variance before executing a buy or sell order. Follow the rules by sticking to your plan. Eliminate fear and greed emotions by establishing comfortable risk-reward levels. A successful approach to trading and investing requires a portfolio approach. No one trade or investment should determine overall results. There are no guarantees in any markets, but following rules, sticking to a plan, and eliminating emotions will improve your chances of long-term success.

US30 Intra-Week Analysis March 7th 2022Last week we saw a lot less volume in the market compared to previous weeks due to the russian invasion and all the recent news setting into the price. Which is why we saw price correct and range between the key levels 33000 and 34000. This week price looks like it has neutral bias until we break out in either direction so if we see a break and closure below 33000 expect price to continue bearish and vice versa if we see a break and closure above 34000.

Oil surpassed $120 now the road to $150Oil gapped over the weekend hitting a 2008 high of $125 oil price. It made a mini double bottom and pulled back before continuing. I see it going to $130-$132 are before going to a bull back More supply fears are coming in. There are talks of import bans being put on Russia. Russia is a very big importer for many countries including the u.s. supply fears and fears of not a so big rate hike coming is also weighing. The federal reserve is saying a 25 point rate hike will come but that will put inflation on the back hand

Eurgbp analysisEURGBP dropped last week and went below the six-year old support level (valid since July of 2016), that happend because of the war between Russia and Ukraine, that situaiton weighed on the Euro. Now we can see the price in a sort of falling wedge and we must notice that the break of the lows of last week is not confirmed yet as a breakout because we can see a clear divergence in daily chart with 14,3,3 Stochastic, in addition the price is in the lower band of Bollinger. This situation suggests a possible retracement towards 0.84 essentially in order to close a gap created last monday. We need to wait an increase of Momentum before thinking about opening a position but the risk reward for a buy is pretty good now. Cot report suggests net Euro positions are bigger than net GBP position. Pay attenton to news and use a proper money management. I will update my idea

SPY 422 PT - MARCH 8TH SPY should hit 422 on or by March 8th. Indicators show that Bullish momentum is growing weaker, while the On Balance Volume shows struggle in SPY going any higher. With surging oil prices, and an escalating War in Europe, I think SPY will have a harder and harder time breaking through it's resistances. We also have the FEDs rate hike in March, and with new talks of the U.S and Europe closing gas lines from Russia, it is very possible we see an even higher surge in inflation, causing the FED to react faster than investors have priced in. I will be looking for put opportunities on NVDA and SPY.

BTC/USDT TA: 22.3.6Bitcoin failed to stabilize above this level after breaking the resistance of 39800 to 40500. According to news from China and Taiwan, as well as the Fed meeting and the possibility of raising interest rates to 0.5%, buyers are cautious. There are still no signs of smart money coming in. According to these notes i think bitcoin can move to 29-30K. ⚠️ This Analysis will be updated ... 👤 Sadegh Ahmadi: @SDQ_Crypto 📅 6.Mar.22 ⚠️(DYOR) ❤️ If you apperciate my work , Please LIKE and COMMENT , It Keeps me motivated to do better❤️

Gold Edges HigherGold is steadily uptrending but meeting fierce resistance. We appear to be forming a bull wedge with 1956 as an upper bound as a 1956. There are several levels above this to provide resistance and after that there is a relative high at 1973 or so which is sure to provide resistance. The Kovach OBV is steadily trending up suggesting a slight bull bias. But if we reject current levels, then 1936 will provide support, but we could test as low as 1895, which is our floor for now.
