Good buying opportunity for anyone looking to acquire physical.
Hilarious that the Fed can predict 2 years into the future init............
It’s a 1 trick pony. “Print/deceive”

It’s all total BS - they are buying time!

Chaps,

The $SKEW reading has hit a new all-time high today, and should not be ignored - note how high SKEW readings have preceded previous declines (but not always).


It's likely that I will go completely to cash over the coming days, to sit out the Fibonacci timing I identified last week.

US tech stocks are absolutely flying today - do you reckon there’s a drop coming Froddy?

Hi Nigw,

Yes, the tech stocks are on fire today ...

Here's the Nasdaq ETF (the QQQ) daily chart:


We are at an inflection point. I can't tell you whether price will fall from here, or break out; all I know is that there are many red flags in the market generally, and I would not be a buyer here. That's not to say that there aren't any good tech buys left - some stocks do their own thing.

It's important to understand that a handful of stocks influence the indices disproportionately, so the recorded change in the indices can disguise what's actually going on. The $ADD reading today is not painting a pretty picture - this measures the advancing stocks against the declining stocks:

86931

I can't stress enough that until we get tomorrow out of the way, we won't really know the true market picture due to tomorrow being a significant options expiration day, when prices are highly manipulated to ensure that as many derivative contracts as possible expire completely worthless.

Thanks. I dropped out of Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple earlier today….just got to wait and see whether that was a bad idea or not!

You got out at very sensible, key technical levels:

FB: +2ATR on the weekly

AMZN: +3ATR on the daily

MSFT: +2ATR on the daily

AAPL: +2ATR on the daily

These are significant levels, and it's no coincidence that inflection points are reached simultaneously in heavyweight stocks and the indices at options expiration. We need to be prepared for whatever comes next!

Beauuuutiful broadening formation in the S&P (15 min chart below).

We are at an inflection point (again!) ...

Generally they dipped very marginally on Friday and have gained again today!

Remember, I’m into crypto and the market is on the floor at the moment. I’m holding though, as it’s all manipulation so that the institutions, who left it too late, can get a decent entry point. Crypto is an open ledger so you can see exactly who is buying, who is selling and who is holding. The big guys are just trying (successfully) to scare retail investors out of the market

At the end of the day, although I’m 40% down (which sounds horrific by normal stock standards), it’s a normal correction in crypto and I’m only back to February numbers. Currently buying a little bit of Bitcoin with the small change I have knocking around
