Grand Canyon Rim to Rim Hike

With the recent market volatility, swing trading tactics are especially useful, allowing traders to make a killing by flipping between long and short positions every few days to maximise profits.

Hence, I have been updating my portfolio allocations and trading positions to my subscribers almost daily, because time is of the essence.

Since the market direction is not clear, instead of going in big in either direction, it makes more sense to stay nimble and take small positions on either side to chalk up small wins.

Over time, many small wins can add up to large profits!

Stay tuned for more daily trading opportunities in my “Daily Trading Signals” Telegram channel!

Trading Signals EURCAD 070722

Following up on EURCAD, it has dropped almost 1000 pips since our last trade call! ????

 

Trading Signals EURUSD 070722

Following up on EURUSD, it has hit TP1, and is on track to hit TP2, although there might be some strong support at 1.000.

Can the EUR really drop below the USD? Last time that happened was almost 20 years ago.

 

Trading Signals USDSGD 070722

Following up on USDSGD, after hitting the first TP, it has broke new highs and looks ready to head to TP2! ????

 

Stock & Bond Market Highlights

Trading Signals bond 030722

The US bond market is on pace for its worst year in history with a loss of 10.4%.

 

Trading Signals ARKG ARKK 070722

Remember how I have been saying that I have started accumulating high growth stocks?

Both the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG) and ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) have gone up about 30% in the last month! ????

 

Trading Signals US100 US500 070722

Following up on the NASDAQ 100 (US100) and S&P 500 (US500), the short-term price action is also bullish, so I have closed my short positions and taken profits to wait for a better price to short.

 

Crypto Market Highlights

Trading Signals ETHUSD 050722

Crypto seems to be having a small rebound, so I’m closing my shorts and taking profits on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD) for now. ????

Will continue to monitor for new trading opportunities.

 

Trading Signals ETHUSD 070722

Following up on Ethereum (ETHUSD), prices have gone up about 10% since I closed my shorts.

If you look at the 2 strong white bars, it shows the short-term price action is bullish so you should either be flat or long.

In the medium-term, the trend is still down, unless prices are able to break above 1280.

 

Trading Signals BTCUSD 070722

Similar to ETH, this is where I flipped short and long on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) in the past 1-2 weeks using price action.

I normally prefer not to do such short-term trades but the market is choppy so we have to adopt a fast-in fast-out strategy.

Cape Town South Africa

With markets in turmoil, I am currently short on stocks, crypto, commodities (not shown yet, but in the latest updates), which means I effectively have a leveraged cash position.

In addition, all my cash is held in USD, which has gone up about 4% this year, possibly making it one of the best asset class this year. ?

My current strategy is to continue shorting the market to the bottom, then start accumulating (and eventually going all-in) stocks and crypto to ride the next bull market.

Update on Commodity ETF (GCC)

As predicted in my last analysis, it might have hit the top of the long-term cycle, and has started to come down.

On the daily chart, it has broken down from a consolidation pattern.

This is in line with the bonds > stocks > commodities cycle, and we have already seen bonds and stocks decline.

With the Fed aggressively raising interest rates to fight inflation, this should be bearish for commodities.

Burj Khalifa Dubai UAE

After a sharp collapse of the stocks and crypto market, last week saw a relief rebound.

I don’t think the bottom is in yet, but I decided to take profits on my short positions to wait for a better price to short again.

I am still holding a large cash position (in USD), which has been performing well relative to the SGD.

I think soon it will be exciting because once the bottom is in, we can start accumulating assets on the cheap which will have the potential to go up 2-3x in the next bull run.

Portfolio Highlights

Trading Signals portfolio 250622

Quick portfolio updates:

? Closed my shorts in stocks as I am expecting a short-term rebound, so that I can take profits first and short again at a better price.

? Also riding the short-term rebound in crypto, and will probably reduce positions or short once the rebound is over. But I will also monitor the price action carefully because this could be the bottom for crypto.

? The bulk of my holdings is still cash, because now is the time to play defensive.

Of the Fed’s previous 12 big tightening cycles since the 1950s, nine ended with a recession, official figures show.

Trading Signals stock bottom 200622

The good news is it typically takes much longer to reach 20% losses than the bottom, which makes sense when you consider not every bear market goes to the extremes.

The good news here is that 7 out of the last 12 bear markets have bottomed in 46 days or less once the 20% level was breached. And 5 out of the 12 were over in a month or less.

“High APYs, high returns — I don’t think they’re sustainable in the long run,” Zhao says. “New projects can give out these incentives to attract users, but only for a short time.”

“Longer term, DeFi projects can offer eight to 10 percent. They have a real business model, where they earn money from the trading fees which people pay.”

Death Valley National Park California USA

Last weekly, there was a lot of focus on the crypto markets, with a slew of bad news, such as the cascading effects of the TerraUSD and Luna crash, Celsius suspending withdrawals, and 3AC capital going under, etc.

These provided good trading opportunities to short crypto and make quick profits, but as the market reaches maximum fear, it could also be a buying opportunity for long-term investors, since crypto is down roughly 75% from all-time highs.

With the Fed aggressively raising interest rates, it has also caused bond and stock prices to continue trending downwards.

I am currently net short on stocks pretty heavily, and will be posting again when I close my shorts and start accumulating for the long run.

Analysis: Historically, the market reaches a bottom once fear has reached a peak.

The VIX is a measure of fear, and as a rough estimate, the market tends to bottom once it reaches 45.

Only twice the fear was so intense that it reached over 80.

I have set alerts for these 2 levels so we will know when it happens.

 

Crypto Market Highlights

Currently we are about -70% from ATHs for BTC, and -77% from ATHs for ETH.

The strange thing about market bottoms is that the sentiment is usually the worst as the bottom is happening.

Not saying that the bottom is here, but we can use historical data to provide a benchmark for how far prices have fallen.
