TLT - head and sholdersThe iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) is experiencing downward pressure, and a head and shoulders pattern in its technical chart suggests further potential declines. This formation, indicating a shift from an uptrend to a downtrend, is being reinforced by several factors: 1. **Rising Treasury Yields**: Higher yields, especially on 10-year Treasury bonds, reduce the appeal of long-duration bonds, causing TLT's value to drop as yields increase. 2. **Strong Economic Data**: Robust economic indicators, including strong GDP growth and low unemployment, have heightened expectations of future rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, which dampens long-term bond prices. 3. **Political Developments**: Potential spending cuts or fiscal adjustments under a changing administration are influencing market dynamics, contributing to the rise in yields and the downward trend in TLT. This combination of technical patterns, economic conditions, and political considerations supports a bearish outlook for TLT, which could benefit short positions in the near term.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 11-4: Election Week Is HereGood morning, everyone. This video highlights why I believe traders should stay very cautious through the early portion of this week and into next week. My research suggests the SPY & QQQ will stay somewhat range bound this week while the markets move into a SHOCK phase. The elections are really going to take center-stage and even though I expect some reaction after the election are over - I'm not seeing any real trending opportunity in the SPY/QQQ until after November 20-25. Thus, I suggest traders stay in a 80-85% CASH mode and trade very small allocation levels over the next 2-3 weeks. There is nothing wrong with moving into a CASH position and sitting on that cash till the market show more opportunity for profits. Gold and Silver will struggle within a sideways range over the next 5 to 8+ days. The election event will likely drive some volatility in metals, but I see metals stalling out for at least 3-4 more days - trading in a sideways range. Ultimately the SPY/QQQ, Gold & Silver are going to attempt to break downward - away from the Phase #3 & #4 consolidation phase. I see that as the Anomaly Event I discuss in this video. Bitcoin appears to have already starting to break downward, away from the Phase #3 & #4 Excess Phase Peak setup. In this case, Bitcoin may be leading the global markets a bit and attempting to find the Ultimate Low over the next 2+ weeks. Still, at this stage, the best advice I can offer is move assets to CASH and wait out the consolidation in the markets. Again, I don't see the markets moving into any real trending until after February 12-13 and possibly as late as February 20-25. Buckle up. I think the markets are going to go into Anaphylactic Shock because of the election and post-election events. Get some. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #es #nq #gold

S&P Weekly RecapLast week saw significant moves in the S&P 500 , with Thursday’s open revealing a sharp gap down that quickly intensified into a strong sell-off. This correction unfolded despite strong earnings from “Big Tech” and was likely driven by weakness in key economic indicators, such as GDP growth and Non-Farm Payrolls, combined with uncertainty surrounding the upcoming U.S. elections. Still, the broader weekly uptrend remains intact for now, as long as the index holds above key levels. One area to watch closely is the 566.6 support, which has been tested by recent volatility. There’s no guarantee that this level will hold if selling pressure continues, so it’s a crucial line to monitor. That said, the general uptrend is considered safe above 538 , which is the major weekly low. Another significant level to watch is 561.5 , the Value Area High (VAH) of the recent weekly consolidation zone. An interesting signal was the elevated call/put ratio on Friday. This uptick suggests that, despite the sell-off, bullish sentiment remains alive, with many viewing the dip as an opportunity. The continued strength of the XLC sector further reflects this optimism, as it managed to hold firm even through the broader index’s pullback. Considering all the above, the long-term market outlook remains bullish. Key levels to watch in the coming days are 566.6 for immediate support, 561.5 as an important pivot point, and the weekly major low at 538 . Next week is packed with high-impact events, including the U.S. elections and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision . Both are likely to drive heightened volatility and could serve as key catalysts for market direction.

IBIT:Why are elites buying Bitcoin?Why are elites buying Bitcoin? Bitcoin has evolved from a cryptocurrency experiment to an asset of global interest, attracting the attention of large financial institutions and elites. This shift in perception, backed by reports such as BlackRock's, highlights how Bitcoin has evolved to become a solid option for protecting capital and diversifying portfolios. But what really motivates elites to invest in Bitcoin? Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation Inflation, driven by expansionary monetary policies and increasing money issuance, has become a major concern for high-end investors. Bitcoin, having a limited supply of 21 million units, acts as a store of value that cannot be devalued by an increase in supply, as is the case with fiat currencies. This feature makes Bitcoin an attractive option for those seeking to protect their wealth over the long term in an environment of rising inflation (BlackRock, 2023). Decentralization and Resilience: A Refuge in Times of Uncertainty Unlike traditional currencies and other assets that depend on government policies and economic stability, Bitcoin operates independently of central bank and government decisions. This gives it a unique resilience in times of instability. As BlackRock highlights, Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it an ideal tool for those seeking financial autonomy and protection from state intervention. In a context of global uncertainty, this feature is especially attractive to investors seeking safe assets that are uncorrelated to the traditional financial system (BlackRock, 2023). The Role of Institutional Adoption The growing adoption of Bitcoin by financial institutions and investment funds has been instrumental in legitimizing the digital asset. In its report, BlackRock mentions how the entry of institutional investors into the Bitcoin market not only increases its credibility, but also reduces long-term volatility. This trend is relevant because it encourages other high-profile players to explore Bitcoin, seeing it as a less risky and increasingly stable asset. The involvement of institutions such as BlackRock and other investment funds also provides an endorsement that incentivizes elites to consider Bitcoin in their portfolios. Portfolio Diversification and Long-Term Growth Potential Bitcoin is an asset that is uncorrelated to traditional stock or bond markets, making it a strategic diversification option. According to BlackRock, in a volatile economic environment, this diversification capability is key to mitigating risks. Moreover, as an asset still in a growth phase, Bitcoin has significant appreciation potential. Its global adoption is still limited, which for many investors represents an opportunity to position themselves before its value stabilizes with wider adoption. Conclusion: Bitcoin as Risk and Growth Management For financial elites, Bitcoin offers a combination of protection, growth and diversification. Interest in this asset lies not only in its ability to offer attractive returns, but also in its role as a risk management tool in an increasingly uncertain economic environment. As BlackRock highlights, investing in Bitcoin represents a strategic step both to protect capital against inflation and to participate in an emerging financial trend that promises to transform markets globally.

SPY in a Downward Channel: Pivotal Levels for November 4, 2024Technical Analysis: Current Trend: SPY remains in a bearish downtrend, respecting a descending trendline. Recent price action indicates consolidation near support, suggesting potential for either a rebound or further decline. Resistance Levels: $578.45 - $578.58: Immediate resistance zone; breaking above this could indicate a bullish reversal towards $583. $583.27 - $584.90: Upper resistance range; a move past this would confirm stronger bullish sentiment. Support Levels: $571.30 - $571.39: Closest support zone near the bid; a breakdown below this may lead to a test of $567.75. Indicators: EMA (Exponential Moving Averages): SPY remains below the EMAs, indicating continued bearish pressure. An EMA crossover would be a sign of potential trend reversal. MACD: Shows slight bullish divergence, hinting at a possible rebound but not yet strong enough for confirmation. Potential Entry Points: Short Position: If SPY fails to break the $578 resistance zone, consider a short entry targeting $571 and $567. Long Position: A strong close above $579 could open up long opportunities, aiming for $583 and higher. Summary: SPY is at a decision point within its downward channel. Watch key support and resistance zones closely for signals of continuation or reversal. Disclaimer: This analysis is for informational purposes only. Always conduct your own research before trading.

Two Different Paths For ^VIXweve set lower daily highs aince the last major volatility event, and trended lower weekly to averages. the uptrend is not lost for vix and uvxy threatens to break out of tightening range or wedge/triangle. ive marked out what a test and failure of the trendline would look like, and ive also bar patterned the breakout scenario. im leaning short because i think the election result will be volatile, but have a buy the news impact on broader markets. this is bearish for vix in both scenarios.
