Stand or fall, state your peace tonight!
I can't predict the future, unlike many of my fellow traders. However, I know a bad weather setup when I see one. Have a look/listen.
I don't like what I see. I see storm clouds gathering. I see delusional pumping of a market. I see a deep disconnect between reality and sentiment. I see momentum falling off.
But make no mistake - I do not underestimate the power of the FED to pump! The FED's so-called 'balance sheet' has gone wild and is set to go orbital, in a do-or-die attempt to save the economy. They have the power to print - and oh boy, they're gonna print! The balance sheet can easily head upward of $50 Trillion. This means the market could do a 100% retracement, from 23 March 2020.
Along the way people are gonna wake up to "What's the value of money?". This could send Gold into orbit as well - but if the market crashes don't expect too much of Gold.
What's keeping this market up? FED cheap money for sure - and the FAANG stocks. That's about it.
Fundamentals are about reality. Sentiment and technical analysis are the fantasy (which we normally exploit). What happens when reality catches up with fantasy? PAIN!
