Ukraine

Yen rises as Russia launches invasionHopes that diplomatic moves could avert a Russian invasion of Ukraine were shattered early Thursday, as Russia launched a full-scale attack. The move was not all that surprising, given the massive Russian buildup on the border with Ukraine during the past few weeks. Still, the fighting in the heart of Europe has weighed heavily on the financial markets, as risk appetite has fallen sharply. The safe-haven Japanese yen has gained ground and is trading at 3-week highs. Western leaders have strongly condemned the Russian military operation, with NATO's secretary-general calling it 'a brutal act of war'. There will clearly be more sanctions headed Moscow's way, but it's doubtful that this will dissuade Russian President Putin from his aim to force Ukraine back into the Russian orbit. Western Europe is dependent on Russian natural gas and with the US showing no appetite for military intervention, things are looking extremely bleak for pro-Western Ukrainian President Zelensky. On the economic calendar, Japan releases Tokyo Core CPI for February later today. CPI is expected to rise to 0.4%, up from 0.2% in January. Earlier in the week, BoJ Core CPI, the central bank’s preferred inflation gauge, rose 0.8%, lower than the 0.9% gain beforehand. Japan's inflation has been moving higher, although nowhere near the clip we've seen in the US and the UK. Still, with the Russian invasion in Ukraine likely to push energy prices even higher, inflation in Japan should continue on an upswing. Brent crude pushed above USD 100 for the first time since 2014, as the Ukraine conflict threatens to disrupt oil deliveries from Russia, a major producer. The timing couldn't be worse for the central banks of the major economies, which are struggling to contain red-hot inflation. The Fed is still expected to hike rates in March, but it may have to put a pause on additional hikes if economic conditions deteriorate. The 100-DMA at 114.35 is providing support. Close by, there is support at 114.16 115.68 is under pressure as resistance. Above, there is resistance at 116.30

ETH/ADA and Geopolitical IssuesETH and the crypto market at large have taken a sizable downturn. This comes after a small ETH rebound rally off of the ~2300~ support level. While the situation in Ukraine continues to develop, signs of fear are showing in investment markets around the world. While I usually only write about ETH, ADA has also caught my eye. The 0.80 level was broken , and reached as low as 0.74 . Because of the uncertainty here there is really no 'expected' price action, and I have no idea what will happen. All I can do is cost average into this dip.

Ethereum Co-Founder Shares Thoughts on Russia-Ukraine CrisisIn the midst of awakening turmoil between Russia and Ukraine, the global crypto market declined to a record low. Bitcoin and other altcoins like Ethereum have been dipping since the hint of war hit the news wave. Talking about Ethereum, co-founder Vitalik Buterin tweeted that Ethereum is neutral but he is not. He declared this following Putin’s declaration of a ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine. Russia-born but brought up in Canada, Vitalik reminded everyone that his thoughts do not reflect the views and opinions of his company. That said, Ethereum remains neutral. Meanwhile, he also tweeted “Glory to Ukraine” and condemned Putin’s decision to go on with war by abandoning the chances for a peaceful solution. He also wished everyone safety, even though the situation does not bring it. Also, he mentioned the turmoil as a “crime against the Ukrainian and Russian people’’.

Bitcoin dips 12%In a move that seemed to catch markets by surprise, reports were flowing in of a feared three-pronged attack on Ukraine at the time of writing, with the West already promising more severe sanctions as a result. Bitcoin, already trading in line with stocks instead of acting as a safe haven, thus showed uncertainty of its own, declining over 12.2% from Wednesday’s local highs to hit $34,300. Asian stocks were already feeling the pressure, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index down 3.5% and the Nikkei reaching a 15-month low. As traders waited to see the full impact on European and United States stock markets, Bitcoin market participants took stock of what the geopolitical events could mean for the largest cryptocurrency. “So there are arguments both ways for what should be happening to BTC right now. I’m not really sure I would have guessed it would go down based on the fundamentals. But it is down, a lot! Why?” Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of trading giant FTX, queried in a series of tweets Thursday.

BTCUSD D1 LONG-TERMThe announcement of the new package of Sanctions on Russia are about to spike the #Bitcoin price as EU has just announced that they will cut out Russian participation in the financial sector. With Russia owning most bitcoins, the EU's sactions to exclude Russian banks on the financial markets could be the biggest driver for Bitcoin to move bullish. If $29700 level holds, I anticipate #Bitcoin to be heading towards $50206-$53536 in a long term. Lets wait and see how the Russia/NATO tensions unfolds, as this has become a war between Russia and the West as opposed to Russia/Ukraine tensions.

Markets In Guernica - Sad Day for Humanity 🤕🩸🥶''In Guernica Lyrics In Guernica the dead children were layed out in order on the sidewalk In their white starched dresses In their pitiful white dresses On their foreheads and breasts the little round holes where death came in as thunder while they were playing their important summer games Do not weep for them, Madre They are gone forever, the little ones Straight to heaven to the saints And God will fill the bullet holes with candy'' May Peace and Logic prevail immediately.

S&P500 - LongsOANDA:SPX500USD Currently being supported by the 200 moving average, we are seeing outbreaks of the war talks with this morning we have seen, Russian troops attacking Ukraine. Historically, we can see that buying invasions and wars like this is generally profitable with the S&P rising dramatically during; Vietnam war, Gulf war, afghan war, Iraq war and Crimean crisis. I will be watching price action for long term buys, I believe we will see all time highs in equities by summer this year (June/July 2022).

BTC/USDT Bullish Divergence above key support !BTC/USDT Bullish Divergence above key support @35800/37800 Context : The recent setback reache the 61,8% Fibo retracement at 37800 corresponding also to a classic A=C pattern( harmonic) ending the wavec (2) and calling for an imminent recovery. Clearly the market is questioning the behavior of the risk takers present in the Traditional market and crypto market by positionning the market at key hedging support on SNP500 and BTC This kind of configuration is more bullish to be honest because it is the area where an intraday bearish trader on futur will take profit, because it is the inflection level to start a new recovery The new bullish element this morning is the bullish divergence in progress like the one triggered on the previous bottom calling for an exhaustion of the Bearish momentum and an imminent bounce towards the daily blue resitance. However a fail to hold on this support will confirm an extension of the previous bearish trend to 28800 (Long-term strategic support) Tactical to daily view (1 to 3 days - before next 3 weeks) As long as 35800 remains key tactical/daily support and 37700/39700 is acting as entry levels (buy) the market is expected to bouncing off towards 41500 (1 to 3 days) - only a clear break above 41500 in daily close will open 51K Else Breaking below 35800 key tactical support a last downside leg towards the strategic key support at 28800 will occur before starting the multi- weeks significant bullish run expected Key Leves to watch : Strategic Horizon (3 to 12 Months): Bullish - Key support @ 28800 - Target 1 @ 77000 - Target 2 @ 111 000 (Conviction = STRONG) Tactical Horizon (1 to 3 Weeks): Bullish - Key support @ 35800 - Target 1 @ 51 000 - Target 2 @ 52 000 (Conviction = Normal , Strong if 41500 surpassed) Daily Horizon (1 to 2 days): Bullish - Key support @ 35800 - Target 1 @ 41500 (Conviction = Strong because of the divergence) Enjoy

BTC USD Russia & Ukraine Blah Blah Blah! Same Sh*t!The charts speak for themselves. Russia and Ukraine have been going at it for years, its always the same crap, sabre rattling, threats, then talks! As you can see I show how many times this has happened since 2014, its ridiculous and I couldn't post nowhere near every article, just a few out of thousands that I saw from 2014 to present, and not counting duplicates. I also compare the Dollar Strength to all this and how its touching the top of the trend line ready for another dip which means another nice move up for BTC. The BBWP is also at extreme lows not seen since the last run up from $8000 to $60000. The dollar is about to take a crap to some serious lows over the next few years as hyperinflation ramps up. Hold strong my friends, don't get shook. This is not professional trading advice, just my opinion. Like if you appreciate this chart and follow me for more updates on many other coins. Leave a comment below and tell me what you think. Thank you.
