Wallstreet

It's not a bird. It's not a plane! It's a channel. Nobody really knows for sure why channels develop. There are loads of theories. I'm not interested. A channel is usually discovered late, obviously because the channel is evolving and then you see it. Unbelievable as it is, it is there. So what do you do. Well, I don't give advice. What I do is understand that there may be limited opportunity to exploit. I say limited because when late in the game, price can break up out of the channel or down out of the channel. That means that if price approaches either end of the channel, it is a critical time. All one can do is take the loss! It's called a stop loss. Channels also do strange things like break out and then go madly the other way. If everybody had a magic formula how to work them, everybody would be zillionaires. It ain' t happening! But there is still money to be made by following microtrends. That's where you follow small trends from 3 min to 15 min. These can take days to play out. For newcomers it's not a good idea to work blindly in a channel. Find other indicators to assist. Experience is also an important thing. As I always say blowing up 10 Tradingview paper trading accounts is far better than blowing up one live account. Get the safe experience almost totally for FREE!

AMD whats your next move?😩 Some times we are faced with difficult decisions in the trading/investing space and this comes from the psychology and emotion of the game. 🐻 I pride my self on being pretty emotionless when trading, in fact some times I can be pretty brutal when it comes to day trading shorter time frames. But I dont just trade and there is a big difference between trading and investing. 👨‍💼 I invest into other asset classes as a defensive play or a way to hedge into global markets and this comes from the saying "never put all your eggs into one basket" You see if all you did was trade the one asset and just keep accumulating and accumulating to the point the majority or all of your wealth is in the one asset, if anything where to happen like say...Apple closes the doors one day, the ethereum blockchain gets hacked, or the USD collapses, you will quickly see your hard earn disappear very very quickly. 🐻 So I have learnt over time to play other markets, industries and asset classes as a defensive move to protect my wealth. Precious metals and other commodities, foreign currencies, and even equity markets which can be broken down even more into multiple industries like pharmaceutical, banks, real estate, entertainment and payment systems. 🥰 Over the last 12 months I have been really enjoying the long term growth in the US markets playing on the New York Stock exchange, but today I'm faced with a dilemma .....and I feel like I'm breaking one of my rules. 🤓 A while ago now I jumped into AMD at $33, I'm sure you have all heard of them, they are a huge CPU/GPU manufacturer for computers and graphics cards, something that is mass produced and for ever evolving. Recently there competitor Nvidia came out with there new range of graphics cards and AMD took a small hit while there competitor shot up...How ever. Nvidia's launch was not the best and there has even been some issues with there new cards and bad reviews, and to hit back AMD now releasing details of there new Zen chips which look to blow Intel out of the water yet again. 😤 So we have some pretty bullish fundamentals, but here is the problem I'm faced with. The chart is cooked lol We are well and truly off the long term growth trend, we have had a parabolic run then accumulated with in a tight zone and now seem to be forming a flag pattern on the higher time frames. Technical's are telling me "be happy with your return, drop your bags and wait for another entry back on the long term trend". But I'm a massive AMD fan boy, I run there cpus in all my pc's and laptops, i even use there graphics cards and I feel like the new Zen chips could see some more spikes on the charts in coming months... 👉 This is why its important to separate emotion from the charts, it clouds your judgement, you doubt your self and often end up making poor decisions. The downside seems temporary and I'm confident on a return to the bullish trend which in tern will provide more steady growth long term. A rise from this flag will see us deviate further from the long term growth hinting the chance of a much larger correct to even pit us below the long term growth which can in some cases on a technical stand point indicate a down trend forming... what to do what to do?

The fall of U.S.Dollar and how to trade itWith unprecedented steps of QE, as issues by FED and the current U.S. administrative, it's obvious and expected that the consequences won't wait for long. Given the current situation in the world, I expect we'll witness rapid downfall at least till the summer 2021 which might sink by as much as 30%. On the background of upcoming Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rise which will top at the break of 2021/2022, this might lead us to revisit the future of centralised banking. Kenzo

Is the DJI (Wall Street) in trouble?Yep - it's beaten me. This is a very weird market where hope and greed rule. America is basically burning down with COVID, supply demand chains disrupted everywhere, no sign of a vaccine "momentarily" as we've been told - yet this market struggles north. Every drop of good news moves it further north. In the last few days we were told that the cure was found for COVID. No one dares to disagree. Hopes of 'herd immunity' are in there. This 8H time frame pump north in what appears to be a subtle rising contracting wedge, does not look confident to me. The instability in the picture creates a probability for the south (not a prediction) - and there is probability for the north as well. I'm not suggesting trading on this 8H time frame. Exploits are better on much lower time frames between 5 min to 15 min. But timing is everything. DON'T sleep! 😂 Disclaimers : This is not advice or encouragement to trade securities.

THE BIG PICTURE: Health is everything! Man and Money vs Virus! I think this chart will be of interest, in overlooking the big picture. I say what I see and it is largely about a health timebomb approaching. So I deal with some technical and hidden fundamental issues. Always say what you see on the charts! Remember TA is about sentiment - until reality catches up. 1 - A popped bubble. 2 - A reinflated bubble. 3 - A reinflated bubble struggling to remain inflated. 4 - Total daily cases of COVID continuing north. 5 - Total daily cases is rising above the area of struggle in the DJI. Note that the DJI represents sentiment in the top 30 major organisations - so it is important. I entirely accept that because total daily cases is summative, it is not a sound measure of the impact of the virus on health or control of the virus. But think deeply - yes these are fundamental issues - representing ' reality '. The total number of people infected means that a percentage of them will suffer lasting effects of the virus e.g. central nervous system problems, mental health disorders, clotting disorders, lung problems, heart problems and exacerbations of previous illnesses. This means there is a mounting economic burden that isn't quite realised by leaders. Why is biotechnology and services servicing those industries flourishing? Obvious - isn't it. Healthcare directed at fighting COVID has left lots of people with significantly reduced care for non-covid related conditions. What happens to those people? It can be expected that their health will deteriorate. I can't go into a whole list of medical conditions - but it's massive. There is only minor focus on the economic impact of that. Nations need 'health' for workforces to contribute well to 'the economy' and to service debt. Our leaders have focused on 'the economy' and preventing a major financial crash that was coming anyway. The virus was just the pinprick. There was in the UK recently a situation where health set against the economy. This was misguided simply because health is the economy. When people think of health they usually think of physical health. However, there is another ticking time bomb of mental health problems . Nobody knows exactly how big this is gonna be. If you thought people with physical health problems were neglected, then it is much bigger for those with new or pre-existing mental health problems. People who are mentally disabled but were managing with aids, adaptations and supervision aren't getting all that as they would have pre-covid. Is this likely to improve in the next 6 months? I don't think so. How can economies recover if they are beaten by seriously damaged physical and mental health of its workforces? Difficult one. Financial hardships are projected to get worse into Winter, in the northern hemisphere. That's not good for physical or mental health. I have little doubt that agents of the FED will pump this market north, and that Robinhoods will punch the air with the FED. However, you can't create a sound economy built on thin air. The bedrock of a sound economies are the health of people. If money printing would solve everything, then GDP and employment (of various types) would be irrelevant. Surely they aren't irrelevant. So - expect the unexpected, is what I'm saying. Near 100% retracements in the face of such fundamental issues has to be suspect. There could be a big 'drop' coming - so stay alert (no predictions today - only probabilities). Those hoping for Gold to rocket north may also have a surprise.

US TECH: GAME OVER?Well, get your popcorn ready!! US Tech 100 is in a precarious position. This is another thing that rules the world! Price ducked below 11000 - which is considered important. Will it stay below? How would I know? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ At time of posting price is a 10920-ish. Does this mean the backs of the USTECH and NASDAQ are broken? Of course not. Expect permabulls to do their stuff. We need them - for the big money transfer- so they're much loved! 🤣 Price action on this on the 3 to 5 min time frame today was soooo exciting! LOL. Call me a nerd - it's fine. LOL. 😉😎 If you wanna see what's really happening you just gotta get dirty in the trenches! I'll be doing a video soon, showing how I look at price action in the indices, comparing the rule of Tech100 with other indices. Stock up on popcorn! 😂👳‍♂️ I don't do predictions - because I believe trend is more important than price . Disclaimers : This is not advice or encouragement to trade securities.
