BTCUSD 03/03/2021 - CorrectionAfter making ATH in Feb 22, BTC declined around 26% (From 58K to 43k).
I expect the first wave of corrective pattern were formed. Currently, i expect the Wave B are forming. If prices can breakout successfully as i mention in my chart, i think price can reach higher level (from 52.5K to 55.1K).

Cotton Cash Contract - Rectangle PatternCommodity: Cotton Cash Contract
Introduction:
Hello everyone! Today, we'll be analyzing the Cotton Cash Contract on the daily scale traded on Pepperstone. After a clear downward trend, the contract seems to have entered a consolidation phase, possibly forming a rectangle pattern.
Analysis:
The rectangle pattern we're observing has been forming for around 196 days. The upper boundary of this pattern is approximately at $90, which has been tested three times so far. Meanwhile, the lower boundary is at around $77.50, with two touch points to date.
Currently, the price hasn't managed to cross above the 200 EMA. However, if we observe a breakout above the upper boundary, it would place the price above the 200 EMA, potentially paving the way for a long entry.
Upon a valid breakout, our projected price target would be $100.660, translating into a potential price rise of approximately 13%.
Conclusion:
The Cotton Cash Contract's technical analysis suggests a consolidation phase marked by a potential rectangle pattern. A breakout above the upper boundary might signal a shift to a bullish trend and could provide an opportunity for a long position.
As always, be sure to conduct your own research and risk management before investing.

$WEZ - Wesizwe Platinum: Bullish On Long-Term CycleCommodity stocks, like the underlying commodity they generate revenues from are well known to be cycle.
Looking at Wesizwe, it is no different. Since listing in 2006, the share has declined from an all time high of R16,50 to an all time low of 31 zac over twelve years.
The EWP puts this bear market into perspective. The entire bear is a zig zag pattern labelled (A) to (C). (A) is an impulse and (C) alternated into an ending diagonal.
The share did catch a bid during the post-covid commodity boom to peak at R2,90 and the share is currently in a pullback. Support is found around the 60 zac zone but reversals can happen above that zone.
This is a long-term cyclical play so as long as price remains above 31 zac, i will look for buying opportunities.
CommodityHeatmap - week 20 soybeanI know it's overbought but it looks like for the reason. Bigs guys support long side and there is strong seasonality for next 5 weeks so prefer to enter long on any retracement of this strong trend.
CommodityHeatMap week 20 - cornShort trade setup. Seasonality supports short side and big guys look to be positioned for short side although the price action is not that convincing so lets see if the support at about 395 holds and then go short on LL(1) on daily.
After Squeezing, AUDUSD Get's PoundedCommodity currencies (AUD, NZD, CAD) underwent a short-squeeze following the Federal Reserve's decision to leave rates from zero-to-25 bps, which is theoretically more supportive for commodity speculation. However, after market participants digested the ultra-dovish FOMC, commodity currencies got monkey-hammered lower.
AUDUSD was pushed higher to .7276 on Friday, following the pin bar created on Thursday's volatile price action. Essentially creating a triple-top. This level has acted a strong resistance. After being rejected, price action is at a support crossroads.
The pair close on price action support of .7180 and could look to challenge a minor uptrend support trend line, dating back to September 10.
A close below this level will open up a longer, intraday descending trend line, and further support could be tested at ,7137 and .7096.
Momentum is likely fading. The RSI sharply contracted, while the ADX looks to be rolling over. Further price action weakness could, eventually, lead into a +/- DMI bearish convergence.
However, if support holds, the pair may retest .7180 as it grinds along the uptrend. A break above .7180 could cause the pair to explode and test .7233 and .7273.
Even though the US dollar pulled back last week, there is still the perception that the Fed will hike this year. This will keep the dollar somewhat supported, while global growth concerns - including China, Australia and NZ - will weigh on AUDUSD.

As the rest of the world has been raising rates throughout most of 2022, Mitrade expects the Bank of Japan is likely to keep a negative rate level at -0.100%, with a possible policy shift in the short term. USD/JPY has increased by over 40 pips to 137.40, currently trading at 136.880, while USD/CAD is trading lower at 1.3642.
Meanwhile, the US dollar’s performance against other major currencies varied. The Euro and the Aussie increased a little over 10 pips to a closing price of 1.0605 and 1.2146 respectively. GBP/USD suffered minor losses at 1.2146.
China’s gradual re-opening sent WTI oil futures higher at $75.38 a barrel, but spot gold declined to $1,787.78 an ounce. Bitcoin just bounced back from a low of 16,372, recovering to 16,571.0.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 162 points to 32,757 (-0.49%), the S&P 500 lost 34 points to 3,817 (-0.91), and the Nasdaq 100 decreased 159 points to 11,084.

Yesterday, the ADP Nonfarm Employment change tracking the private sector showed 132,000 workers joined the labor market, significantly lower than the expected 300,000. The lackluster result raised doubts about the nonfarm payrolls provided by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which also has a 300,000 estimate for the month of August.
If the official figures also disappoint, the Federal Reserve is more likely to opt for a 50 bps rate hike rather than a 75 bps one. However, USD/CAD still managed to rise to 1.3127, currently trading at 1.3161, Canada's GDP growth was at 0.1% as predicted. USD/JPY first closed at 138.96, then reached a record high not seen after 1998, jumping to 139.53.
Regarding other major currencies, EUR/USD briefly went below the parity level again, but soon recovered to 1.0057. Eurozone’s headline inflation rate slightly surpassed original projections at 9.1%, and investors expect tonight’s German retail sales to record fewer losses. GBP/USD slid from 1.1692 to 1.1622, while the Aussie declined to 0.6839 against the greenback.
Gold futures declined to $1,726.2 an ounce. Yet another pipeline maintenance from Russia to Europe tightened the energy supply on the continent, and despite falling Crude Oil Inventories, WTI oil futures dropped and stabilized at $89.00 a barrel, before closing at 89.55.

AUSSIE STRENGTH OVER THE CANADIANS?Commodity Prices:
Both Australia and Canada are major exporters of commodities, particularly metals and energy. If there has been a rise in commodity prices (such as iron ore, oil, or copper), it can benefit the Australian Dollar (AUD) if these prices are moving in Australia's favor.
For example, if oil prices (which directly affect the Canadian economy) have dropped, it could hurt the CAD, making the AUD relatively stronger.
Economic Data:
Positive economic data from Australia (like strong GDP growth, employment figures, or retail sales) can boost the AUD.
Conversely, weaker-than-expected economic data from Canada (such as lower-than-forecasted GDP growth, inflation figures, or trade balances) could make the CAD weaker and lead to a stronger AUD/CAD.
