Apple rallied in December after holding $120. Now it’s back and threatening to break support at that level. The price action is part of the ongoing technical weakness in the smart-phone giant. It had a false breakout in January and a trend-line failure last month. Today we got a clue why: AAPL has cut production of its iPhone 12 mini, according to Nikkei . Once...
'Everybody' knows that the US Dollar is gonna die. Right? The prevailing wisdom is that QE Infinity will tank the Dollar. Well, it's not that simple. The Dollar's strength depends on numerous other factors, the key one is demand. Ahhhh.. so the USA - if you believe it - has conquered COVID-19, and international trade is about to be kickstarted. Or so the story...
Get on board this most excellent trade with copper and stock seasonality on your side! FCX has has a great run this year with copper from the bottom rising 400%. This is a great and possibly final leg to get into for awhile that is perfectly balanced inside Camarilla pivots, which I would consider myself an expert in using. Copper 16YR seasonality nearing a...

Once the past is gone it's gone forever, but we can always go back to learn from it. Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. In this publication I back tested a couple of tools which basically detect...
In short, we don't think so. In the chart above, you're seeing the 10y30y spread and the 10y yield. The 10s30s is a barometer of the inflation risk premium. And quite frankly, the market isn't buying that inflation will be sustained. Yes, the 10y yield is indicating perhaps to many that there is some kind of inflation risk, but from the Macrodesiac view, all...

What is Fundamental Analysis? Fundamental analysis is a way of looking at the forex market by analysing economic, social, and political forces that may affect currency prices. The idea behind this type of analysis is that if a country's current or future economic outlook is good, its currency should strengthen (Baby Pips - www.babypips.com) What is Technical...
Head and Shoulders is one of the most reliable patterns in trading. You could find the stats on this - I've long forgotten them. Many H&S pattern fail and you have to be prepared to take controlled affordable losses when engaging them. But when they do fall in your favour, they could be big earners. As always, these patterns do not 'predict' - they create...
I commented previously we are in the Wave 5 of an Elliot Wave. Currently, we are seeing a micro Wave and we are at Wave 3. We will be heading towards 58k in a weeks time and retrace to 54k before hitting 64k. As you can see, the micro Wave 5 (blue bubble) and the bigger Wave 5 (green bubble) are very close
At times I find myself locked in to trying to find a better entry while my trade plan is setting up during the day. More often than not, when the internal battle is won by the impatient voice in my head, I sneak into a trade early and pay the price for it. Well... today was one of those days I'm not sitting here saying that my set-ups are always right, nor am I...

Just a quick explainer for people who are getting smoked and don't know why.
Study of altcoin market cap. This metric excludes BTC. Already have a daily cross on the 50 SMA over the 100 and 200.

A HL close will confirm at crossover.
Buying dips can be tricky, the issue is knowing if it's an actual dip or a full trend reversal. I used to think buying at a lower price to double down on an investment going the wrong way was a good idea. However, after reading a book called the Zurich Axioms by Max Gunther - the penny actually dropped. In essence, profit is profit. It does not have to be made...

If you have...
Recent activity looking similar to the Sept 2020 correction. Will look for a retest of the trend line to place long trade. Would expect such a move late next week, but could trigger early depending on today's US NF Payrolls outcome. If price breaks below trend, and below 12160-190 level, I will be looking to short NAS100 down to 11k.
