USDCHF – Pullback opportunity
Commodities Market Highlights
Following up on Palladium (PALL), it is now up almost 50% from the bottom, and is now pulling back to form a neat bear flag. Might be a good chance to add positions, since we are already deeply in the money. ????
Product: Commodities
Name: Crude Oil
Ticker: WTIUSD
Exchange: N/A
Analysis: Since the bottom in mid-2020, Crude oil has run up an impressive 700+%, and is on track to test the key level of $100.
I think there is a major resistance level around the $107 area, so I will be looking to short because I am bearish on crude oil in the long-run.
Will continue to monitor.
Stock Market Highlights
? Current trend of stocks ?
Bullish: AAPL, BAC, GOOG, JPM, KO, MA, PG, TSLA, V

(Note: These are based on medium/long-term trends.)
Product: US Stocks
Name: Grab Holdings
Ticker: GRAB
Exchange: NASDAQ
Analysis: A potential short-term counter-trend bounce trade after falling about 70% from its highs. Broke out from a falling wedge, and formed a small pennant.
EP: Either now, or breakout from pennant
SL: $5.66
TP: $7.00++, but get out if you see a super high spike on high volume
(Update: trade did not get triggered because the pennant failed.)
Following up on the NASDAQ 100 (US 100), I have been long-term bearish on it, but I expected a higher rebound before the bears resumed.
Unfortunately, the recent influx of bad news (Ukraine invasion, inflation, Omicron surge) has accelerated the decline.
Most of the high growth stocks I suggested like SE, NET, etc are still 30-40% up from the lows after the rebound, so it might be a good time to take profits on those.
Overall, the key level to watch out for is the one highlighted in pink, if prices break below that, my suggestion is to either have no positions or be net short in stocks.
Crypto Market Highlights
Product: Cryptocurrency
Name: Avalanche
Ticker: AVAXUSD
Exchange: N/A
Analysis: After staging an impressive recovery of 80+% after the crash, it has recently broken out of the bearish trend channel, and looks to be gaining bullish momentum.
EP: Buy on any pullbacks
SL: $75
TP: $125+++
Following up on Bitcoin (BTCUSD), now would be a good time to enter. Same for Ethereum (ETH).
Currently, most of my crypto portfolio is in BTC and ETH, with some ETFs like DPI, MVI and DEGEN.
For the fun of it, I also like to allocate some capital to what I call “moonshot tokens”, basically tokens which might have the chance to go up a lot.
Currently I have these 3: AVAX, CRO, SHIB.
Good luck, and may next week bring more excellent profits!
