INFLATION BUBBLE AT CROSSROAD INFLATION VS DEFLATION Based on the last 120 year of DATA the inflation cycle had peaked . The mistake some will have that it is the beginning of ASSET DEFLATION CYCLE . SEE THE 1921 TIME TO WHICH I STATE we are in based on the 89 2010 4 and 2 year cycles and time spirals which called for a top in sp in sept and late dec 2021 which would see a major new BEAR market in all assets classes to which the panic cycle due oct 4th to th 20th focus on the 10th with targets of 3511/3490 . this is the FIRST leg of the deflationary CRASH cycle NOT the END .
USIRYY trade ideas
$USIRYY -CPI# *M printToday is the Consumer Price Index numbers release.
Consensus sits at 8% Inflation rate, while the previous month's number was at 8.2%.
Many are forecasting for a 8.1% CPI number coming out.
Feds have been expecting to bring inflation down via their instrument of interest rates by raising them at 4%, however, thus far, no success was found there for Feds in terms of bringing down inflation, let alone their 2% inflation target that for now, seems far-fetched target.
While in this world of speculation we live in and nothing is for certain, it is best for traders to
wait over CPI's release taking the risk off and trading cautiously .
I would not suggest for any one to trade the news and it's volatility , but if you do so,
please take measures on any occurring scenarios over CPI's number release.
Very important day for everyone who is involved on Financial Markets.
Very important day for Macro-Economics Data and overall Inflation around the World.
What do you think it will happen with 2% Inflation target Feds got in place ?

US inflation data is at multi year resistance..Us inflation is at multi year resistance.it shows inflation has already peaked. once it will start coming down markets will rally to the upside. Will markets makes new ath sooner or later ? Well who knows?? Ask yourself that question.
Will fed stop rising rates for now?
Very unlikely.
Will fed could consider lowering the basis points ?
Most likely.
Will fed do it in upcoming meeting (23rd sep'22) this month?
Unlikely.
Manipulation pushing higher inflation into the future. Inflation rate has been precisely manipulated to stay inside this triangle pushing the problem forward to the 2040's to 2050's.
Important market corrections are dated for references. Look at the dates and compare with economic issues, inflation and market trading.
There is a very narrow window moving forward into 2024 to 2025. The chart shows after 2025 the inflation rate will continue to creep up until the 2050's.
Government manipulation is just pushing the issues forward 20 years or so. That makes since considering most of the people in charge will not have to deal with
the fallout of their decisions. Almost everyone manipulating the us economy is over the age of 60 yrs old. Debt doesn't solve economic issues. US economy needs to
move out of this debt and generate a strong wealthy economy. This publication is just for research purposes. Use as a tool and guide for your research. Thanks

Inflation will never stop...its time to short inflation 50%Inflation will never stop no matter how much money you make.
Right now the cost of living avg is 50% too high for the current wages to keep supporting too much longer.
homelessness and families moving in together to survive is already happening.
The signs are out there for everyone to see and the government is playing with your lives.
When wages increase so does the cost of living. Now the cost of living since the 1950's is too high to maintain in 2022 with current wages and 2023 will be worse.
Unsustainable economic breakdown is coming and depression in society is at the highest i have ever seen it in my life time.
Fuel shortages, Food shortages, high utility bills, taxes keep going up, government keeps overspending, times are tough for working families.

Inflation and supply shortages keeps getting worse.
I hear so much everyday from people and this is what people say to me when i ask.
I don't make enough money to survive.
Bank won't give me a loan.
I don't make enough money this year to cover bills.
I need things and the store doesn't have it or its too expensive for my budget.
power bill too expensive.
gas is too expensive.
my car has been in shop for months and still not fixed.
my bank won't refinance my home.
i can't afford groceries because i no longer qualify for government "snap" benifits with my raise at work and i have 4 kids.
I am losing my farm to drought and excess cost of fuel and supplies.
Automated warehouses put my entire family out of business.
several people came forward with police not doing there job while communities are getting robbed
while they are at work.
the covid epidemic cost me everything my home and my business.
my health insurance went up and can no longer afford it.
so many people out there struggling to survive and the normal services that help these people
have exhausted there funding without any more support for the demand of help.
i don't see an end to this economic struggle people are facing and its only going to get worse.
Fed rates hikes, the covid pandemic and the countless defaulted loans and ongoing bankruptcies with inflation
has banks refusing personal loans and refinancing to alot of people without collateral. All i can say is stick with the job you have and
try to manage your finances carefully.
resources are stretched thin and customer service everywhere has a high turnover rate with people that
don't really know what they are doing.
People are taking any job they can to survive and when they lose or find another job they move on and don't really care about the service
they are providing. They are basically a third party for the companies and some have reported security
violations that resulted in fraud to access individual finances.
I'm not writing a book here so i will leave this info here for you reading to digest and research on your own. Maybe a post from you on social
media or here with some resources to help others find the help they need.

Inflation and Business Cycle: What will happen next?Inflation has been rising aggressively since 2021. It accelerated from 2% to hit an all-time high of 9.1% in June 2022. As inflation rose, central banks like the Fed raised interest rates to control inflation . But this effort to control inflation, on one hand made money more expensive for the industries and on the other hand pushed consumers to reduce their spendings.
Many economists had already predicted rising inflation and its impeding worst impact on the global economy and stock markets. Still, there are fears everywhere that bear markets could persist and even a further decline is likely.
Here the basic question arises that must be understood:
WHAT IS INFLATION & WHY DOES IT OCCUR?
In fact, inflation occurs whenever demand for goods and services increases while supply remains constrained.
Growth is everyone's dream...
To capitalize on this aspiration, banks provide cash at low interest rates to support growth, but unfortunately this cash is used by people to buy luxuries like cars, electronics and homes. Cars need fuel and metals, electronics need high R&D spending and skilled human capital, and houses need building materials. Pressure on luxury items leads to price increases.
Technically speaking, when demand accelerates faster than supply, it has a net effect on price. This phenomenon is referred to as the law of demand, which states: "If more people want to buy something, when there is limited supply, the price of that thing will be higher." (The same law of demand applies in the stock market: as demand for stocks increases, their price increases.)
After Covid-19, global demand for goods and services began to normalize (increase). But to boost growth, which had been severely hampered in Covid times, banks made easy loans available at attractive interest rates. The resulting increase in the supply of money in the markets stimulated consumer spending. Ideally, if growth had been at a sustained pace and in the productive sectors, inflation would not have occurred. But that never happens - a phenomenon that creates the business cycle.
A business cycle has phases of expansion and contraction.
We are currently in the contraction phase of the business cycle - inflation is still high, interest rates and yields are unbearable, and industrial performance has declined.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT?
- Unbearable prices will force consumers to reduce their spending/demand
- High interest rates and reduced demand will reduce industry revenues and profits
- Equity markets will continue to show poor performance
But good times will come again!
When the market bottoms out in the business cycle, expansion begins. This will be an ideal time to invest in growth and value stocks.
Inflation takes timeInflation has come down from its (FOMC QE, covid legislation, geopolitical unrest) peak. But how long will it take to get back to its baseline since (FOMC QT, divided congress, geopolitical containment) started? Well let's see what the USIRYY chart has to say. USIRYY was 2.6% for March 2021 & peaked in June 2022 at 9.1% so that upside move took 14 months to show up on the chart. But since it was a delayed reaction from the macroeconomic factors that started from covid March / April 2020, that equals 12 months for monetary stimulus to work its way through everything. So, by using simple arithmetic, inflation could come down to its baseline as soon as 13 months from June 2022. Which would mean that at its earliest, USIRYY gets back to its 100 - 200 month moving average by July 2023. Obviously, it seems like it will take a few months longer, but inflation will definitely get back to 3% in 2023 at the very worst.
USIRYY 1 month chart moving averages:
SMA100 = 2.71%
SMA200 = 2.42%
U.S. Consumer Price Index's forecast, and there is no big changeThere is no major change in the figure, which is the same as the U.S. CPI YoY standard estimate.
The price stabilization section is entering because it has decreased compared to the previous month, but it is too early for the Fed to proceed with its policy pivot.
Number of Sunspots and Inflation CYCLESHi friends
Today im going to explain about the relationship between Sunspot Numbers and Inflation rate from 1960 to now.
so lets start with inventor of this theory : William Stanley Jevons's
In 1875 and 1878 Jevons read two papers before the British Association which expounded his famous "sunspot theory" of the business cycle.
Digging through mountains of statistics of economic and meteorological data,
Jevons argued that there was a connection between the timing of commercial crises and the solar cycle.
it called 5.31-Year Cycle too.
In the stock market and in the economy, there are both natural frequencies and artificial excitation frequencies.
The four-year presidential election cycle is a great example of an excitation frequency, and it has demonstrable effects on stock prices.
The schedule of FOMC meetings 8x per year is another possible example of an artificial excitation frequency.
When a demonstrable cycle period appears that one cannot tie to some manmade excitation frequency,
then the supposition is that it is a "natural" frequency of the economic system.
Something about the economy or the market results in an oscillation on a certain frequency which may not have a good outside explanation.
Perhaps it is in how money flows. Perhaps it is in how human brains make decisions about surplus and scarcity. It is hard to know.
This 5.31-year frequency in the CPIs cycle seems to fall into that category as a natural cycle,
because the 5.31-year period does not match any known excitation frequency related to human activity nor the economic calendar.
So that makes it probably a natural frequency.
In above chart , there does seem to be a relationship between sunspots and the inflation rate.
We see lots of instances when the peak of the sunspot cycle coincided with the peak of the inflation rate.
There have been spikes in the inflation rate not tied to the sunspot cycle, such as the spike during the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973-74.
this examples did, interestingly, come at the halfway point of the sunspot cycle, fitting the half-period harmonic principle(5.31 year cycle).
The current rise in inflation fits both the longstanding 5.31-year cycle and the upswing in the sunspot cycle.
Solar researchers expect the current sunspot cycle rise to end in July 2025, which is 3 years from now.
But the 5.31-year cycle says a top in the inflation rate is expected right now.
That would mean seeing the inflation rate bottoming around 2025 just as the sunspot cycle is peaking.
Sometimes cycles present us with conflicts that are hard to reconcile.
The point of the 5.31-year cycle that we can take away for right now is that the inflation rate should be falling for the next ~2.2 years.
But that does not mean we get to zero percent inflation right away.
The drops take a while to unfold. Inflation is likely with us for a while, and we have to get used to that idea.
Monthly Macro DigestSo, you want to get rich do yah? You either feel like the smartest person in the world (.001%), or hopeless and stupid (99.999%). For most, it's by pure chance and circumstance that they understand the mechanism by which they succeed. When were you born? When will you retire? Did you go to war or build a career? What is money anyway? How do I fit into all of this? Who's controlling all of this?
It's all one big game. Show up at the right places at the right time and you can play too. Don't get disappeared or go nuts folks!
Inflation!Oh yeah, inflation... Just how much though???
One of the main "benefactors" for inflation is money supply. Printing money fast and not managing it to create growth, is bad... unsurprisingly. For the last 2 years, an astronomical amount of money was printed. But have we seen it's effect?
To figure out these HOT questions, we use charts. Opinions don't do us any good for important issues, facts do.
First: M2SL (Money Supply)
Specifically the rate of change. We use the ROC indicator, set in 24 months.
This chart above, the ROC is looking familiar...
It looks like the rate of change in money supply, follows the inflation rate. So we might have something.
I hear you say, on the far right we see an explosion in money supply ROC, and we witness the explosive inflation rate we had this year. Thankfully, ROC is now almost turning negative, and inflation is showing signs of slowing down.
Not so fast.
Look at the following chart.
In this chart we have 3 lines, blue is money supply ROC, orange is time-synced inflation rate, and the faint white line is inflation moved 2 years earlier. I tried to match the money supply ROC peaks with the inflation peaks of 1970s.
Do note that the M2SL ROC for a specific date, takes the average ROC for the past 24 months (2 years). So the delay between money printing and inflation showing it is at least 2 years . The ROC chart is delayed by itself, and it shows inflation change 2 years before the official inflation rate changes.
Alarmingly, the chart above shows us that we are in the middle of inflation explosion.
A magnified view.
I hear you say again, but inflation is rapidly dropping, so it is peaked. This chart above does have an indication of scale as well as timing. It is obvious that the rate of change stood much higher for long, more than any other time in history. So inflation should be quite substantial. Perhaps more than 15% we had in 1970s. We need to prove that it is higher though...
Second: Total money printed
I tried comparing the cumulative money printed in the decade before the inflation peak, this led me to a dead end. Percentages are identical.
It looks like an inflationary shock today, too much was printed too fast.
This is a key difference between the two periods.
Third: What is the "fair" amount of money we should have printed?
So what if, we try comparing money supply with the total GDP. The ratio M2SL/GDP. If you saw my previous idea, I learned that the GDP/M2SL ratio is basically the money velocity.
The idea behind the M2SL/GDP (which is 1/M2V) is simple, just how much excess money have we printed for the gross domestic product we have? I hastily explained in my previous idea, and I will try to explain it again, comparing these two different periods.
During the period of stagflation (1970s) we had money velocity in a slow but steady growth.
Now we have the complete opposite.
We have too much money printed for how much we produce. I don't have the knowledge to pinpoint how much of an increase this could cause to inflation though. I tried some things in my previous idea.
And finally, fourth: Yields
This are disappointing. Markets don't want high yields, and they refuse to price-in higher yields.
It could take many months before this barrier is broken. This is a 3M chart, so timeframes are quite long.
Market's yield is preceding FEDFUNDS. While I am not experienced on the mechanics of how the FED and the market are reading/predicting/using yield rates, this chart shows us that FEDFUNDS always follows US02Y.
Keltner channels show us the opposite side of the EMA Ribbon. If we trust the one, we trust the other.
We are almost inside the top Keltner channel, a bearish phenomenon.
Unfortunately for the low-inflation-dream, we might have reached a top for now. FEDFUNDS is poised to grow a little more, and US02Y shows signs of weakness.
Like 2008 (and every other rate-hike-era), we may have reached a top.
And an extra: Inflation predictions for other countries
I talk about the US, but I am from Greece. Right now, we are voting for next years budget. This budget is presented as a great one (let's not get into politics). Everything is good regarding it. Curiously, on the first paragraph basically, it states that "this budget is made considering an average inflation rate for 2023, 5 points higher than this year.
(I am paraphrasing, I don't present an official transcript)
Inflation reached a high of 12%, a 30 year record. Europe countries like mine, are bracing for higher inflation for next year. The problem is nowhere near to a solution.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

Deflationary Shock Coming From 1915-1955 every spike in inflation was followed a short period of deflation. Most fundamentals are pointing towards such a deflationary period coming right now. Inventory of retailers is very high right now which will decrease demand in manufacturing and push prices down, oil prices are significantly down compared to earlier in the year and y/y readings will be deflationary in the coming months, new rent prices peak a few months ago, used car prices are coming down as well as most commodities. With this on top of the tight financial conditions the fed is creating I am expecting a very quick contraction in inflation.
CPI over the last 5 months has been 1% ( 2.4% annualized ) also considering the inflationary stimulus check sent out to allegedly flight inflation have been entering the economy the last few months, the majority in October, inflation numbers still came in under expectations. In November m/m inflation was only 0.1% with the tailwinds of stimulus money. The hot CPI sectors are starting to slow down as well.
