Many interpreted from the latest FOMC meeting that the Fed is going to have three rate cuts this year, but Jerome Powell did not say that. Let me quote directly from his transcript: “If the economy evolves as projected, the median participant projects that the appropriate level of the federal funds rate will be 4.6 percent at the end of this year” And he...
Hello, Looks like Federal fund rates are going to be in uptrend (Double Bottom + Bullish Divergence in RSI), in the past from 1958 to somewhere around till 1980 SPX was in sideways move or economic decline. Can we see something similar kind of movement in SPX? IMO yes. So, will Bitcoin follow SPX? IMO Bitcoin also moves in sideways, or Bitcoin is risk on...
If prices continue to struggle going bullish after inventory or week come in red. I expect prices to drop into mitigation and if that happens you will see an explosive move on oil. Otherwise, they should take buy side liquidity @70.77 and come back into internal range (mitigation/volume imbalance) Mind you, if the fed also cuts rates today that will weaken...
Gold forecast: Crazy to expect rate cut tomorrow? Mostly yes. Market consensus leans towards the U.S. central bank maintaining current interest rates following the conclusion of its two-day meeting tomorrow. However, the potential impact on the U.S. dollar and gold is likely to hinge on statements from Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding expectations for a rate...
Hello Traders! The FED's monetary policy is not convincing the markets, but Powell seems very determined to meet his inflation targets. In near term, market seems to want to counter this hawkish monetary policy, but that could change going forward. In short term, yields remain at high levels and I don't exclude that this rally could continue for the last bullish...
Be cautious buying this uptrend, and be especially cautious trying to catch the bottom of a mediocre company in a downtrend. I don't view the current environment to be fully risk off or fully risk on, but showing signs of the last leg of the business cycle. My preference is to target 20-30% cash and focus on companies with a high sharpe ratio, and lower ...
Looks like market bottoms just before the Unemployment peak. Market peaks just before fed starts reducing the rates. At the current situation, we have fed fund rates high and also unemployment started to climb. Will be looking at the unemployment going high and markets roll over and fed cuts rates. if FED keeps the same rate for long, something in the economy...

In May and August I made posts saying "Macro conditions don't foretell a market crash soon." Time has passed and it's all pretty much the same. BUT!! Current world events might change everything. And see my other posts re likely imminent drops in the market. This post is just about macro. Once again, some points here looking back to 2001. (2020 was an irregular...
Purple droplets indicate where CPI peaks (pink line) and green arrows point to the corresponding oil peak. Blue dotted lines measure where oil peaks to allow a reference point to S&P chart. Light blue is FED Funds rate.
Look how strong the correlation is between 2y/10y spread and interest rates in the last two decades. Once it starts peaking watch it roll over slowly, a pause, usually indicates the last stages.
📢 Yield curve inversion alert! Here's what you need to know: 📉 The 10-year minus 2-year yield curve has inverted 📉 This occurrence, where the shorter-term yields surpass longer-term yields, often raises concerns about the economy's health.

In this video we look at the impending $800b T-bill issuance from the US Treasury to rebuild its cash levels at the TGA – will this lead to higher volatility in financial markets as reserves are taken out of the system? Will concerns on bank credit kick back up, or will this prove to be a non-event? We look at the indicators you need can use in TradingView to...
We can try to predict when the Federal Reserve may pivot to a less hawkish stance by using charts. Below are some helpful charts. 1. Money Supply The chart shown above is a monthly chart of the U.S. money supply (M2SL). The white line shows the money supply over time. Below the white line is a stepped moving average (9 period), which I consider the 'steps...

Reference chart for my research purposes. Studying the success of short-term bond rates to front run federal fund rate decisions (in white). Without much inspection, we can say they are fairly reliable.
Throughout 2022 you would have done VERY well taking profit when the TVC:VIX hit 20 and accumulating when the VIX hit 30. But has this trend concluded? This movement and profit/accumulation opportunity is consistent with the most recent tightening from 2017 to 2018 where fed funds were rising, and the yield for 2 year treasuries in the bond market exceeded fed...
Hi everyone, just share some thoughts regarding to the FOMC's meeting last week: - Fed's rate hike with 0.25% as expected after considering 1% before the pre-bank-crisis events and 0% for post-events. It's more logical for me than any other option, as inflation is still high, the labor market is still hot, and the economy is still boosted with hyped capital goods...
