NIKKEI 225 (BANKSTER CALL)I'm loving the way this chart is looking. But I also love the fundamentals here. US Govt. is working overtime to satisfy our allies here in South East Asia, and in the Norther 'Emerging Markets' Zone (S.Korea). However, with all that's going in the South China Sea, Japan has stepped as an ally to help us buffer some of the regions tensions. Nikkei 225 contains some of the worlds hardest hitting corporate players. So a purchase from Warren Buffett isn't a 'scratch your back, i'll scratch yours until...' but a sizable investment into the future of one of the worlds most productive societies.
With this being said, I
decided to place 25% of my portfolio into this play, with a hedge nearby in the event we retest levels seen on the Monthly chart.
Going forward, we will build out plays that will cover the risk until we are risk neutral. Then I will expose our portfolio some more to this play.
Walking the streets Fukuoka just a few years ago, during what was seen as tough economic times, it was hard to tell with how packed the shopping malls in the prefecture were.
*A consumer based economy with tons of potential.
Now, based in Bangkok, I will add the Chinese are controlling the regions most valuable retail assets with their 'unlimited' purchasing power, but the Japanese are strategically in lock-step in the more quieter ways and in economies were the value of their assets can see a larger blast north from foreign investment.
This is not investment advice. I'm not responsible for any decisions that you make after reviewing this information. Trade Responsibly.

ICP FINALLY BOTTOMEDWith the current state of ICP being increasingly bearish over the past 3 years. I feel like we have officially reached the bottom for the bears. ICP has unlocked 89.5% of the total supply. Their is only 54.49 million ICP left to be unlocked. If ICP were to remain at $7.27 the market cap would be $3.78b which is roughly a $365m increase in market cap, which tells me price cannot fall much further than it already has.
With that being said, I've marked fib levels from the highest high to the lowest low on the weekly, to figure out where ICP can go over the next 3 years in a bull market. If we're bottomed here & can form a higher high at the .286, that would provide a 6000% gain at current price .
I thoroughly believe in ICP as it is renowned in the WEB3 world & has so much potential to regain its position within the top 5. Many of you will think this post is delusional, however if theres any blockchain that can back a huge gain, ICP is definitely in the top 3.
Peace & Prosperity

we have had a change of character on the daily and 4-hour frames with the break of the 2387 peak, and it is expected that the price will continue to rise slightly to 2396-2404 and fill the gap, and then we will see a correction..
Buying areas are shown in the chart, and we may see a new high if prices exceed 2435 During the coming days
Arras Minerals Ready for Blue SkiesArras Minerals is a mineral exploration company working in Kazakhstan with large swaths of licensed acreage in a proven copper-gold porphyry setting. Arras Minerals is backed by Teck who owns approximately 10% of shares. Arras is currently drilling this summer and will begin reporting their assays towards the end of summer and in fall.
As both copper and gold (and silver and other metals) continue their price climbs, and global demand continues to increase, high grade copper-gold assets in favorable jurisdictions will be highly sought after (as Teck makes obvious through their interest in Arras).
Taking a look at the chart, Arras has yet to have any kind of serious price run, and currently has a market cap of approximately $15M USD. Nearby mines are producing ~ SEED_TVCODER77_ETHBTCDATA:1B worth of copper annually, for reference.
This is one of those explorers with good management and confidence from big industry players. This could easily run 5-10x in the short-term, and go much higher long-term.
Boring Stock, Getting Close to a Potential Long-Term BreakoutWaiting for a monthly close above the 8-year downtrend line to get in. The chart is pretty messy but many other signals are converging around that area (200-month EMA, 50-month EMA, .382 Fib). Price had a false breakout early in the downtrend based on the trendline I drew but I drew it where it is because it had many hits along this line. If price breaks out here I think it's significant because it would also be breaking above the 200-month EMA after dipping below temporarily (which it hadn't done for a really long time). I'm waiting for a monthly close above the 200-month EMA to start a position, and will plan on adding more if it can get about the 50-month EMA. I don't have a stop loss, this is a long-term buy and hold and collect the dividends if it can breakout. If it has a false breakout and goes down, I'll just buy up more at certain intervals and will update this idea. I think from looking at this chart and reading/listening to some of the other ideas about this stock that it can surpass the highs it made about 8 years ago and my price target is $270-$300 where I would start to think about using a stop loss and protecting profit. I like using stop losses eventually because it can let a stock potentially run rather than just selling when it hits the target. Anyway, waiting for another week to make a decision. If price ends up failing here, I think I will probably be able to get in down around $100 or maybe even a bit lower and I would consider starting a position there but I like buying on breakouts rather than trying to catch a "falling knife". One more thing on this stock, it hasn't participated much in the market recovery since the March lows from the covid panic selloff and that makes me like it also (just look at a long-term chart of Microsoft after the tech bubble, for a long time it pretty much traded sideways and now look at it, I'm not saying IBM will do the same but it could, I'm not one to limit the potential of the stock market long-term, over long periods of time it goes up on average).
**These are just notes about what I am personally considering doing and are not recommendations to trade. If you decide to follow any of this, trade at your own risk and keep a long-term perspective, I'm talking this trade could take the better part of a decade to play out (not weeks or months, that would be a short-term trade which is usually not for me).**
Nike's Drop Will Offer a Great Dip... Soon!Nike's stock has dropped 30% this year and nearly 60% from its 2021 highs. It continues to drop, and now, I am worried that they will soon suspend their dividend to move cash flow into other areas that need to support the business.
I believe Nike may reach a low close to its COVID-19 crash levels, presenting a buying opportunity for patient investors as I've marked on the chart with the red circle. As Warren Buffett once said, "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful." I think that moment is coming with Nike.
Here are two tips for buying dips:
1. It can always go lower than you think so it's better to wait for some signs of a reversal rather than perfectly catching the bottom.
2. Set alerts so that you're ready and can get alerted with the time comes.
Now, why has Nike fallen like this? Several factors contribute to this decline:
1. Margin Pressures: Rising raw material and labor costs have strained Nike's profitability, causing investor concerns.
2. Product Control Issues: Expanding its product range has led to inconsistent quality and inventory management problems.
3. Excessive Product Range: The overwhelming number of products has confused customers and diluted the brand.
4. Increased Competition: New, agile brands are capturing market share, challenging Nike's dominance.
This one is on my watchlist! Let's see what happens next. I'll update you all rather soon.
Can Tesla Get Back to Even? What I'm WatchingI still can't believe that, back in April, Tesla was down 43% since the start of the year. It's been ages since we've seen a drop like that for Tesla. I circled that point on the chart with a red circle. Also, the yellow and orange lines are the 50 and 100 day moving averages, about to cross and seem to be turning upward.
Fast forward to now, and Tesla has bounced back, down just 6% since the year's start. If Tesla goes green on the year... watch out.
There are a number of reasons why Tesla might be turning the corner, and that especially seems to be its recent delivery numbers. But, before we go there, what really caught my eye is how quickly companies like NVIDIA have recently outpaced Tesla over the last 6+ months. I just can't remember such a hot stock becoming "left behind" in such a short period of time. Both TSM and Broadcom also passed Tesla rather quickly - also semiconductor stocks.
Now, why did Tesla pop recently? As many of you know, Tesla reported 443,956 deliveries in Q2, slightly above Wall Street's expectations of around 439,000 units. There's nothing quite like beating Wall Street and proving them wrong. But let's not forget that Wall Street can spin the numbers to fit their narrative. This delivery figure is still a 4.8% decrease from the same quarter last year, hinting at Tesla's resilience.
However, personally, I'm more intrigued by Tesla's product mix and the new projects they're working on. That's where the real story is. And I think this comeback is just the start of that.
Monthly chart and Stochastic RSI shows directionIn BTC USD, practically every time the monthly Stochastic RSI has reached 100 and the fast RSI crosses the slow RSI there is about a 45% to 75% drop in value as a correction.
The BTC low target would be $29,000 to $41,000 for the next 6 months prior to the post-halving bullrun going into 2025.
#NKE Oversold - price at Covid LevelsAnalysis Overview
Focus: Primarily on fundamental analysis.
Current Price Context:
Last time NYSE:NKE was at these price levels was in March 2020.
The stock has been significantly beaten down.
This year's growth estimate is gloomy (-14%).
Investment Rationale
Despite the recent challenges, Nike remains a solid company and is the world's most valuable apparel brand. P/E (TTM) is 19.74 which hints a kind of fair valuation. Moreover, analysts estimate an upside potential of +26.16% on average.
Investment Decision
I decided to buy 10 shares of $NKE.
Exit Strategy
I haven’t determined a specific sell price yet and might keep the shares indefinitely. My decision will be based on:
General market sentiment
Potential price increases in the near term
Long-Term Outlook
I believe Nike will perform well in the long term, but I’m also open to acting opportunistically and selling if there is a significant price increase in the near term.

Traditional Gold traders could be making a huge mistake1000.00 usd forcast is easy to spot in the gold market before 2025.
The ever growing trend moving into the crypto currency market and blockchain technology is more favorable "profitable".
Larger capital gains and entertainment in the crypto industry is becoming more favorable in todays economy.
Change is happening gradually because the economy is still facing serious issues with stability.
There will be winners and losers in the future markets.
40% will fail with traditional trading and 40% will win big returns with the crypto industry.
20% of the world population will most likely stay away from investing all together because they
already have all the wealth they need.
This is my observation with gold and silver 50% loss for most investors 2022 - 2025
Most of the money leaving the gold market will transition into crypto currency next few years.

Attractive risk/reward in Lufthansa long position. Lufthansa has been struggling with strike, cancelled flights and increased tax by the German government resulting in weak Q1 results. There is support at around 5,6 EUR and even the slightest positive Q2 report by the end of July should result in a bull run lasting until December/Januar.
