On the chart is the 4-week average of jobless claims. Prior to the past three recessions in 2007, 2001 and 1991, the jobless claims average was near the current levels.
Cyclically, Jobless claims is probably much closer to rising then falling. As we approach the 7th year since exiting the last recession, the average of jobless claims is at the bottom of its range for the past 40 years.
In the bottom of the chart, I applied a 2-standard deviation Bollinger bands to spot potential extremes in the average.
Love this type of economic analysis. Not enough of it on tradingview. +

Nice, unfortunately. I have been building a case for the next recession. Mind if I use this chart in my analysis? Credit will be given. Also, what are the best ways to make money in said times, if you know. I have been looking at counter cyclical stocks and commodities such as gold and silver. Any thoughts will be helpful. Thanks.

Gold would be one choice. Short selling stocks is another . and a part in cash as we are in a deflationary environment.

Agreed, nicely done! And agree on llong gc and short equities. As well, I think many believe that the GC/CL will reverse from its new 70 year highs but I believe the opposite, it's just a sign of worsening deflation and will GC/CL will likely continue to rise. Baltic dry, new lows. All of these are bad, LONG term signs.
