Solana is one of the best performers from the bull market, and was one of the few to actually achieve a 1000x increase. Multiple coins did this in 2017, but very few did this time around, most likely because leverage can now be used in the crypto market. Pumping altcoins by this much doesn't seem worth the risk anymore, considering they often just retrace most of...
Today, SoFi Technologies ( NASDAQ:SOFI ) announced that the company received regulatory approval to become a National Bank. This is a massive achievement for SOFI. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve have approved SOFI's applications to become a Bank Holding Company through its proposed acquisition of Golden Pacific...
I begin each year reviewing the long term technical positions of the "Big Four." 10 Year rates, SPX, Commodities, and the US Dollar. This is the fourth of the series. The fifth and final will attempt to tie the first four together into a organized macro view. Granted, macro doesn’t typically impact shorter term (swing, daily and weekly) trading, but developing a...

Looks like an epic cup and handle in the making for $GLD. It's getting close to make or break time. I'd like to see a break above that long term downward trend line on the possible handle. The $DXY chart suggests that the dollar is headed for a secular down trend. That chart is also getting close to an inflection point IMO. Maybe the Gold bugs finally get their...

On March/April 2020 we hit irrational market conditions due to the abrupt halt in the economy. We can blame the pandemic as the trigger, however there were indicators that were already flashing a slow down in the economy. Then "Magically" the so called "V Recovery". Sharp, strong, "back to normal", unemployment spiked to unprecedented levels and went back to a...
The remarkable CPI inflation print of 7 percent was a non-event, as it came in just like expected and month-on-month numbers showed some deceleration.
Yes, growth tried to rally a bit, but honestly, who wants to go all in when inflation is hitting multi-decade highs while the fed funds rate is still at the zero bound? Huge shifts in monetary policy are coming for...

As it can be inferred from the current situation, the price is rejecting the lower boundary of the formed channel and forming a nice bottom.
