📊 Weekly Outlook Charts Aug 19-23:

#DXY still grinding lower. Nothing much has changed since last week. Global PMI data and subsequent labor market data in UK, France, Germany, USA will have an impact on fed cut expectations and by proxy risk assets including the dollar.

The Annual Jackson Hole meeting is this week as well. Surely there will be some volatility. My best guess is Powell restating the fact that the fight against inflation is almost over and focus on labor market data will be prioritized going forward to initiate the 'soft landing'

https://www.tradingview.co.../

Within 2 weeks since the yen unwinding, we are just a couple percentage points off the highs. The vast volatility has me a bit suspicious. Since we are back above the cloud, confirms bullish continuation, however I suspect this week we might range around 5600 on #SPY due to heavy news flow this week.

https://www.tradingview.co.../

Seems like USOIL is closely following DXY most likely due to concerns of global economic growth.

https://www.tradingview.co.../

#btc still lagging risk assets in tradfi markets. Not bullish again until daily closes above the cloud. Still ranging. Not particularly interested here

https://www.tradingview.co.../

#eth is still struggling to pass resistance. Must be patient

Weekly Outlook Charts: August 5-9:

#DXY Despite the volatility, the weekly time frame still shows bearish divergence. Hence why i think we will still continue on the leg down to 96.9 as forecasted many months ago. Nothing has changed here.

Weekly: https://www.tradingview.co.../

Daily: Solid rejection off 106/107 level instills confidence of further downside to target.

https://www.tradingview.co.../

🎯Target at 97 remains.

Doesnt lower DXY mean gains for risk assets like crypto? Not quite..

Where I was wrong about DXY and why: Historically speaking, DXY strength correlates well with economic activity. A strong dollar is good for markets because it signals we are headed in the right direction. Economy > earnings > stock prices. However, more recently as we've seen in 2022 and 2023, a stronger dollar had a negative affect on equities - mainly risk assets such as cryptos. This was because of deleveraging of global liquidity in the form of quantitative tightening. Interest rates were climbing at a record pace to stop inflation, while making the risk free rate (bond yields) more rewarding than most high growth companies. Growing a company became much more difficult when compared to low rate environments. Good news was bad news for the market.

The market reaction of recent economic data indicates a possible turning point for bad news being bad for the market. So even though , DXY is still on track to its forecast from months prior, risk assets may not perform as expected. We must look at other factors outside of DXY strength - as I normally do - to gauge whether upside on cryptos are worth while...

Yield Curve Inversions:
For the first time since June 2022, the yield curve has hit 0%. After spending a record time inverted, there are signs the yield curve is finally re-inverting back to normal. The re-inversion usually causes the most damage to markets as a recession hits, and growth stagnates.

#US10Y
Below shows the yield curve vs the S&P 500.
https://www.tradingview.co.../

Since 1990, there has been a 4/4 probability of market declines and recession proceeding the re-inversion.
For data not shown on Tradingview, there were 2 outliers in 1980 and 1982 where the market nearly bottomed as it re-inverted (https://fred.stlouisfed.or...)

However, the last two re-inversions still had the market increase for the proceeding 24 weeks (5-6 months). This is very important information. If this cycle plays out like the last 2, the markets might still crawl higher until Jan 2025.

#US10Y
Below shows the yield curve vs gold.

https://www.tradingview.co.../

🎯Target for 3000

As the yield curve re-inverts, it presents an opportunity for safe haven assets like gold to outperform. The only outlier was 1980 and 1982 when gold had already increased 800% in the few years prior due to Fed Volcker's era of runaway inflation.

Evidenced by the inverted yield curve's track record of predicting recessions, the Sahm Rule was also triggered on Friday's unemployment data. Since 1950, the Sahm Rule was able to predict a recession 10/11 times (91% chance). Every time it did predict a recession, it did so within 4 months.

Coincidentally, This time frame fits quite nicely with the 24 weeks of upside proceeding the re-inversion before the start of a bear market

🚨 The crypto market IS COLLAPSING! 🚨

The cryptocurrency market has just suffered a brutal SHOCK, billions of dollars have evaporated in a few hours.

Traditional markets are also affected by panic.

What is really happening?

First, let's take a look at the alarming numbers:

💸 400 billion capitalization gone

💸 More than a billion dollars in positions liquidated in a few hours, including 901 million long positions pulverized.

💸 Bitcoin fell by 20%, Ethereum by 34%, and altcoins were not spared: Solana fell by 24%, XRP by almost 21%, memecoins like DOGE and SHIB fell by 25%. 29%.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The reasons for this debacle are multiple and interconnected:

💥 The Japanese "carry trade" is collapsing: The yen has soared by 10% in just 3 weeks, pushing investors to massively sell their assets to repay their debts in yen.
This situation was exacerbated by the decision of the Bank of Japan to raise its rates to 0.25%, the highest level since 2008.

💥 Traditional markets in panic: The Nikkei collapsed 12.4%, its biggest historical fall since “Black Monday” in 1987.
This shock wave spread to the American markets, with Nasdaq futures falling by 6% and those of the S&P 500 by 3%.

💥 Massive sales from major players: Jump Trading liquidated $300 million worth of Ethereum in 10 days.
Additionally, two other major players contributed to the selling pressure: the distribution of Mt. Gox's Bitcoins to creditors ($9 billion worth) and the sale of BTC by the German government.

💥 A tense global context: The assassination of the Hamas leader by Israel has exacerbated tensions in the Middle East, Western countries are asking their nationals to leave Lebanon...
This geopolitical instability, coupled with political uncertainties in the United States and fears of recession, has created a climate of risk aversion.

This perfect storm shows how vulnerable the crypto market remains to external shocks.

It also highlights the growing interconnection between cryptocurrencies and traditional financial markets.

Stay vigilant, this extreme volatility could well continue in the days to come!

🚨 The FBI warns against scammers posing as crypto exchange employees to steal funds.
