Cappadocia Turkey

Last week, the markets were pretty quiet, after the sharp rebound in the previous weeks.

It seems like the rebound has run out of steam, and there is no major news to influence the direction of the market either way.

The direction might only be clearer after the next major news announcement (NFP, CPI, FOMC), so it is best not to take any large bets in the meantime.

That said, on the forex and crypto front, there were many good swing trading opportunities.

There is a good chance that price might break out next week, so I have placed price triggers to alert me (and all my subscribers) the moment any breakout happens.

Weekly Market Outlook (20 November 2022)

Best trades this week are shorting crypto and going long on USD rebound.

Stocks have been flat almost 2 weeks, so I have placed price alerts for when it breaks out of either side.

Weekly Portfolio Updates (20 November 2022)

Bought some long-term fixed income (TLT), and more short-term fixed income (T-bills).

 

Forex & Commodities Market Highlights

Trading Signals EURCAD 241122

Following up on EURCAD, there was a perfect long pullback opportunity as we mentioned, and prices have started heading up.

Will continue to add longs on any pullback, or pullbacks on a smaller timeframe.

 

Trading Signals NZDUSD 241122

Very strong price action for NZDUSD, after breaking out of the bearish price channel.

If it can break and stay above the 200-EMA, good chances of prices making new highs.

 

Trading Signals USDJPY 241122

With the USD weakening, we see a nice bear flag forming on the USDJPY, which will likely take prices lower to the next major support level, which coincides with the 200-EMA.

 

Trading Signals XAUUSD 231122

Gold (XAUUSD) rebounding off strong support, with 2 major resistance levels ahead that can serve as targets.

 

Stock & Bond Market Highlights

Trading Signals US100 241122

Following up on the NASDAQ 100 (US100), it is forming a small bull flag.

Currently, the price action looks bullish, so I would either stay out or take a short-term long position.

If it breaks below the price alert set at 11500, then I will look to short.

Trading Signals inflation news 251122

Once inflation breaks above 8%, they find, “reverting to 3% usually takes 6 to 20 years, with a median of over 10 years.”

Only 30% of the time in the past 52 years has inflation peaked between 8% and 10% and then gone back down. In the other 70% of the time, once it’s made it over 8% it had risen above 10%.

While we saw some strong rebound in the markets due to lower inflation numbers (and hope of a pivot), I feel it is only a matter of time before the relief rally runs out of steam.

The recent news headlines do not seem bullish:

  • UK officially entering a recession
  • Japan seeing the highest inflation in 40 years
  • Many tech companies laying off large numbers of staff
  • US retail sales higher than expected (sign of inflation not coming down)
  • US initial jobless claims decreasing

Hence, the chance of a Fed pivot seems unlikely at this point.

However, the market is always right, so I will still trade based on the price action as it unfolds.

I have placed price triggers at various critical levels, so we will receive the alerts once the opportunity arises.

Trading Signals weekly market outlook 141122

Weekly Market Outlook (13 November 2022)

After the CPI showed slowing inflation, the stock markets shot up drastically, but this does not necessarily mean a reversal of the long-term trend.

2 ways to trade this market:

1. Wait for short-term momentum to weaken and run into strong S/R levels, then enter in the direction of the LT trend

2. Ride the short/medium-term momentum by entering on pullbacks on smaller timeframe

 

Portfolio Highlights

Forex & Commodities Market Highlights

Trading Signals EURCAD 151122

Very nice inverse H&S reversal for EURCAD, plus it broke the bear trendline at the same time.

Can look to go long on pullbacks.

 

Trading Signals USDSGD 141122

USDSGD has dropped quite steeply the past few weeks, and might be somewhat oversold.

Even though it is in the middle of the wider range, and might drop all the way to the bottom of the range, we can still aim to trade the rebound (red rectangle), and then use a trailing stoploss.

 

Trading Signals USDSGD 161122

Following up on USDSGD, we have seen 4 doji bars (with 1 being a bullish hammer), which suggest a slowing in the bearish momentum.

The RSI is also in the extreme oversold zone.

Odds of a rebound are high.

I would suggest taking a long position with a SL at around 1.36.

 

Stock & Bond Market Highlights

Trading Signals NADSAQ100 141122

Critical zone here for the NASDAQ 100 (US100), whether it can muster enough strength for a larger move up, and break past the trendline.

 

Trading Signals NADSAQ100 weekly 141122

To better illustrate what I meant by following the long-term trend, this is the weekly chart of the NASDAQ 100 (US100).

You can see that when prices go up or down, there will be moves against the main trend (red circles) that range from 15-25%.

The key is to wait patiently and find the optimal point (most reward and lowest risk) to enter the market and ride the long-term trend.

 

Trading Signals NADSAQ100 171122

So far we have seen one shooting star (bearish pinbar) on the NASDAQ 100 (US100), when it tried to break above the trendline.

Now, it is at a crucial point because it is at the top of the LT bearish trendline, but the ST price action recently just broke above the small consolidation (yellow rectangle).

If prices fall back into the small consolidation (break the red line), then i would consider adding back my short positions.

 

Trading Signals REET 141122

Similar situation for the Global REITs ETF (REET) which is a benchmark for global real estate.

2022 09 11 21 36 37

This week was a crazy week, which saw the collapse of FTX, one of the largest crypto brokerages.

This will likely have more domino-effect impact on various crypto markets in the weeks to come, and not in a good way.

On the plus side, the recent CPI data shows a slowing of inflation, which caused stock markets to spike and the USD to plunge.

Is this sufficient for a Fed pivot (or at least a slow in rate hikes), which could hint at a market bottom?

Find out in my “weekly market outlook” video tomorrow, which I will post in my Daily Trading Signals private Telegram channel!

This suggests they are expecting the Fed to aggressively hike so the peak can be reached faster, but the peak keeps getting higher.

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Iceland

We had 2 major pieces of new last week, which was the FOMC and the NFP.

The FOMC hiked rates by 0.75%, which was in line with expectations, but they also maintained the hardline stance of aggressively increasing rates till inflation is tamed, and would rather overshoot than undershoot, because (they think) they can remedy by cutting rates if a recession happens.

The NFP data showed that although jobs increased, it seems to be reaching a gradual turning point, which suggested that the rate hikes are working to reverse the trend.

As mentioned in last week’s video, I expect the bearish trend to resume soon, with new lows perhaps as early as next week.

Besides the short position on stocks, there is also something which we have been accumulating steadily, and is now deeply in the money, with lots more room to continue going up.

What do you think this is?

Trading Signals AUDNZD 041122

The AUDNZD has traded in a wide range for many years. Recently, it tried to break out of the range but failed and went back down.

It might head back to test the bottom of the range, so we can look to short on pullbacks.

Trading Signals USDSGD 031122
