XAU/USD Technical AnalysisHello Traders! What do you see on this chart and what are your expectation and interpretation of what you see? What i see on a 4 hour chart is the following: we hit the resistance level on 15th November after which we proceeded to the pullback action where we stopped at 1732.5. 1809.6 is our latest local resistance level which we reached and made a double top and continued to the downside. for it to keep on the bullish trajectory i expect it to close below 1786.7 and possibly expect a fake-out on 1809 level.

US 10y2y yield curve and the S&P500. What's next?I see many people expecting a massive crash because the yield curve has inverted, but they forget that stocks fell as the yield curve was inverting, something that didn't happen in the previous times. Before the earlier crashes, stocks rose before the inversion and kept growing for a bit after the inversion. In 1989 stocks didn't even fall after the 10y2y curve fell below 0. That inversion happened two years after the 1987 crash, and we have a similar situation this time. We had an inversion before the Covid crash, and now, two years after the Covid crash, we are having another. However, this time, we've already had a 25% correction on the S&P500. Although I believe we will have a recession and used to think it would be gruesome, I am starting to feel things won't be as bad as many think. It would be very odd to have a second crash after the March 2020 crash, as many investors still expect a similar correction, making it less likely. Everyone also knows the Fed will eventually be forced to cut rates and return to QE, creating a market crash less likely. The market is like a junky that wants more QE and low rates, even if that would come at the cost of short-term pain, as the market is forward-looking and is already anticipating that Central banks will support demands. They will have to, as governments won't be able to fund themselves in any other way. At the same time, we must not forget many structural forces other than the Fed, like stock buybacks, indexation, passive investing, cheap & easy access, bank money/credit creation, and foreign investment inflows in the US. Of course, we definitely shouldn't forget how strong the US economy is, having some of the best companies worldwide. It feels like 2000-2013 was like getting out of the 1968-1982 period: massive consolidation and considerable changes in the structure of markets. From 1982 until 2000, the market rallied by 1275%, with very few significant corrections. None was more prominent than 40%, and the largest was similar to the Covid crash. We are nine years into this expansion and have rallied only 200% from the previous highs. Therefore I don't see why we should expect another massive correction soon, right after we've had a 20%, a 35%, and a 25% correction over the last 3.5 years. I think the only reason for a crash would be the Fed raising rates above 3.5%, which I see as nearly impossible. Of course, I am not saying another dip is impossible. If the SPX tops around 4350-4400, I can see us making another low, only to scare longs and trap shorts and send it much higher. This idea is more about not getting stuck in some doom porn and seeing that markets can go up even when things are not expected to go well or aren't going well.

Target - Corporate earnings season resemblant of the bear marketYesterday, Target announced its earnings for the third quarter of 2022. The report outlined softening sales and profit trends with downgraded guidance going forward. Total revenue and cost of sales increased year over year, while net earnings and EPS fell dramatically for that same period. Subsequently, shares of Target fell more than 13% in the pre-market trading. Target is yet another company that fulfills our prediction about a weak corporate earnings season and progression into the second phase of the bear market. We expect this trend to worsen in the next earning season and further enforce our thesis. Total revenue = $26.518 billion (+3.4% YoY) Cost of sales = $19.680 billion (+8.1% YoY) GAAP Earnings per share = $1.54 (-49.3% YoY) Operating income = $1.022 billion (-49.2% YoY) Net earnings = $712 million (-52.1% YoY) Illustration 1.01 The image above shows the daily chart of Target. Yellow arrows indicate previous earnings reports and subsequent price action. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI and Stochastic reversed to the downside. MACD flattens, and if it breaks below 0 points, it will bolster the bearish case. DM+ and DM- performed a bearish crossover. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI, MACD, and Stochastic show signs of exhaustion. DM+ and DM- are bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish. Please feel free to express your ideas and thoughts in the comment section. DISCLAIMER: This analysis is not intended to encourage any buying or selling of any particular securities. Furthermore, it should not be a basis for taking any trade action by an individual investor. Therefore, your own due diligence is highly advised before entering a trade.

Future predictions (2023) Fundamental: The inflation havent reached consumers yet, we have had money (savings) from Covid. We will see more "cold" winter now, as the inflation finally starts to decrease the purchasing power. The inflation decreases but not quick enough and debt will be taken. There is a possibility to a bigger recession if the debt is too much for banking systems (Unemployment rate, rate of interest, inflation, credit quality) Technical: Top to bottom percentages (S&P 500, approx every decade) 28% 60s/50% 70s/36% 80s/20% 90s/50% 20s/57% 21s (average 40%. 27% now, we have reasons to go lower) These dates and prices are based on past, not super accurate, but with these there were least inconsistencies Based on human psychology and cycles we tend to have (bigger picture, decade and century cycle), we havent seen that much yet. We need bigger crisis or there will be next one coming, the cycle is in progress, there is "nothing" to recover from right now. Sorry about narrow analysis, I am not the type to write own analysis, also there is no words or pictures to describe the full database I have on my mind! Hopefully you still enjoy and comment your thoughts, Best regards: Malmberg Jami

US PPI data and wayward projectiles affecting EUR/USDThe Euro has lost some ground against the US dollar after reports that Russian missiles had struck inside the Polish border killing two polish citizens. The reason for the drop in the Euro is because Poland is a NATO member and the potential results of this, yet unverified report, is a retaliation from Polish and/ or NATO forces. Poland has previously noted that they are ready to defend their sovereignty in the face of accidental or purposeful attacks within its borders which could induce NATO forces to join in on the conflict too. NATO and US authorities are currently investigating the report before commenting publicly. It could be that markets wait for confirmation from these two authorities before considering their risk appetite for the Euro the rest of this week. The Euro is still up against the greenback but was registering greater gains before the missile report hit the news flow. The reason for the strength in the Euro is due to the US Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of wholesale inflation, coming in softer-than-expected. October’s PPI rose +0.2% month-over-month in October of 2022, below market forecasts of +0.4% adding fuel to the theory that inflation in the US has peaked and is now slowing. The EUR/USD was heading toward 1.0500 before investors were spooked by the missile report, sending it as low as 1.0280. It has since recovered to close to the 61.8% Fib level between this recent high and low Previously, the EUR/USD rallied after the release of the US consumer inflation data (on November 11th) which was the first indicator that US inflation has reached its peak. The EUR/USD is still up 2.7% over the week.

GBPUSD short but be aware of US CPI volatilityLooking for some reversals from the previous signals. Yesterday we didn't get any triggers, which signals a change in trend in itself. Today is US CPI so I am expecting some volatility and for traders to get stopped out. DXY could go higher and break through the relative equal highs, this could amount to just a stop run and at this point we wait to see if its a liquidity grab or not. GBPUSD has a couple of imbalances on the way down to fill but there is also one above. The reason I favour GBPUSD shorts today is due to higher cpi readings, leading to rate hikes, leading to dollar strength. Technically the DXY also made its weekly low (so far) on Tuesday and this is known as turnaround Tuesday. USDJPY confirms a possible long USD and GBPJPY confirms a short pound. But that makes the Yen a problem.

USDCNH probably going a lot higherA little while ago the PBOC lost control of their currency and we saw the US dollar rising exponentially. In the latest trade report from China Exports from China edged 0.3% lower yoy to USD 298.37 billion in October 2022, missing the market consensus of a 4.3% growth. This was the first decline in shipments since May 2020, amid poor overseas demand as cost pressures grew globally and supply disruptions lingered. There is a real chance that the US dollar could keep rising as the offshore renminbi CNH collapses further. China needs to export to the US to receive the US dollars, to then go out and buy stuff like Oil. This is why the Chinese and the Saudis earlier this year start to formulate a plan for China to buy direct with their own currency.
