Following up on the USDSGD, it is starting to move up again. The previous price dip was a good buying opportunity, as prices stayed above the SL.

Commodities Market Highlights

Following up on Crude oil, it has gone past $100 as predicted, and the momentum is very strong due to fundamental factors.

It’s a trade-off, depending on your risk preference. Shorting earlier has lower success rate but higher RR, while waiting for more confirmation has higher success rate but lower RR.

Stock Market Highlights

Following up on the NASDAQ 100 (US 100), I said to close all longs and go short once that level is broken, and that happened about 4 days ago.

By now, all our shorts are comfortably in the money.

I also mentioned to take profit on growth stocks, which was just in time before the collapse.

Now, we can continue to ride our short positions as the Russia-Ukraine situation plays out.

Looking at the chart of the NASDAQ, the downtrend is still in progress, and I don’t really see any bullish catalysts at the moment.

Even if Russia calls off the attack, the market was already bearish before that, because of inflation, interest rates, Covid, etc.

Crypto Market Highlights

Following up on Bitcoin (BTCUSD), it unexpectedly was not able to hold the $40k price level, but the uptrend is still intact, so I will be watching to see where this pullback ends.
