Bear markets are often when long-term traders make their big moves - assets that seem to stabilize or even do well (MANA, MKR in the last few days) often show that a project has dedicated supporters and some legs to stand on during the "tough times". It's easy to make money during bull runs, but it's the projects that survive during bear markets that often lead to...
Detailed analysis shows that crypto usually outperforms the stock market, even during its "winter" phases. What are the patterns to look out for? (Real growth is often very subtle.)
A pretty rough week for the markets - especially crypto. The recent dips are a result of mainstream money (crypto curious, but not necessarily dedicated) leaving the space as a response to inflation woes and the Federal Reserve planning to increase interest rates over 2022. The US housing markets are also set to slow down as well, possibly leading to a recession...
We saw a strong move to the upside after the Fed hiked interest rates by 50 basis points yesterday but does that mean that the trend has reversed? Most definitely not! Watch this video to see my forecast and what we need to see before we can assume a trend change. Happy trading! Linton
The Australian Dollar has weakened in recent weeks due to Iron Ore prices declining as China's zero covid policy has caused investors to fear a slowdown in the world's second-biggest economy. Australia exports 80% of Iron ore to China, so any slowdown in China will hit demand for Australia's commodity exports and put downward pressure on the currency. We also...
The Pound has extended its weakness against the U.S Dollar as the UK economy slips closer to a recession. The UK cost of living crisis, which is down to high energy prices, rising taxes, and now higher interest rates is increasing the public mortgage, credit cards, car loans, student debt and other debt payments, causing investors to question the amount of...
Rising interest rates by the Federal Reserve has people concerned of a potential slow-down in the housing market (worse-case scenario, a recession, or even a depression). How would this affect crypto - and metaverse assets in particular? A closer and updated look at what's been going on in virtual vs. real-estate, especially in China (still down by 60%+).

We look at the USD/JPY and its driver the US Interest rate market. We talk about the key Y130 level that may Upset the Bank of Japan and Ministry of Finance. Japan is historically one of the biggest FX interverners but the first step is always jawbowning (Official comments of concern about the Yen) We looking for either that or data/comments from FED members to...
The Canadian Dollar continues to strengthen against the Japanese Yen as the Bank of Canada continues to aggressively raise Interest rates to fight off high inflation. Japan's domestic inflation is in stark contrast as Japan continues to struggle to hit the Bank of Japan's 2.00% target. I show the historical difference in interest rates on 10Year Government bonds...
In this video, I breakdown why the U.S Dollar is bullish against the Japanese Yen and maintaining its strength against the Euro, as the central bank, ' The Federal Reserve", is raising interest rates aggressively in 2022 to deal with high domestic inflation. This is in contrast to the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan, which have pledged to keep interest...
Fed hawkish policy to fight inflation is putting in a high on GOLD. It's also about the speculation of how many hikes may happen this year. However, if FED will suddenly turns out to be less aggressive then this will quickly stabilize the gold prices, but for now, it looks like the current tone will not change so metals have room for more weakness. At the same...
The Fed has threatened to raise interest rates two more times this year. But will they? That and news signs of life on the charts. For the first time since November, I am starting to see small indications that the bulls are about to make some moves!
One of the most attractive currencies this week can also be MXN after strong CPI figures back on March 08, so there can be a hawkish policy decision on March 24 from Bank of Mexico. We see some important evidence for a resumption lower.
The dollar has hit it's target up. What does this mean for the markets? Where do we go from here? What will JPOW do with interest rates? Will the FED use the conflicts in Ukraine as an excuse NOT to raise rates 3 times? Let's talk about this.
Now that the Federal Reserve seems committed to raising interest rates in response to inflation (something that they denied was a problem during 2021) we're going to see a shift in the way money is talked about in the near future. What does this mean for crypto, and the greater economy, overall? - The US growth and assets markets have been driven strongly by the...
