Crypto Market Cap Hits New All-Time High

Digital enthusiasts should be happy as last week, the total crypto market capitalization established a new all-time high of $2.5 trillion, surpassing the previous top of $2.4 trillion reached this spring.

It coincides with the current move in Bitcoin, which is approaching an all-time high. Is it the main coin that contributes the most to pumping the market cap? Let us check it in the next chart of the total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin. Continue reading "Crypto Market Cap Hits New All-Time High"

Weekly Stock Market Forecast

This week we have a stock market forecast for the week of 10/17/21 from our friend Bo Yoder of the Market Forecasting Academy. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think!

The S&P 500 (SPY)

SPY Weekly Chart  - Stock Market Forecast

This week's rally conforms to my forecast nicely from last week.

Nothing has really changed; I still have a lot of bearish readings for the S&P 500, which conflict with the surge of bullish interest that is currently being absorbed.

I still expect the SPY to rally up to retest the all-time highs and break out to the upside. Unfortunately, that breakout would likely be on low momentum, and the odds are high; it will turn into a false breakout. This would set up a classic "Trap trade," as the breakout players all react emotionally to the failed breakout. Continue reading "Weekly Stock Market Forecast"

Platinum And Palladium Update

I put the platinum first as it has a clearer structure. The big map has remained unchanged since 2019; I put it down below to brush up.

Platinum

We are in leg 2 (black) with a completed AB part (next chart). I expected the CD part to start earlier. However, the bullish trigger was left untouched and the market collapsed further down.

Platinum

The third red leg down has hammered the platinum futures price below $1,000 handle to hit the valley in $893. It is amazing how symmetry works here, as all three legs are almost equal to each other. It is a good sign for the platinum as it suffered a lot. Continue reading "Platinum And Palladium Update"

The S&P 500 (SPY)

SPY Weekly Chart - Stock Market Forecast

My life got medically hijacked a few weeks ago when our daughter decided to make her appearance a few weeks early! We spent some time with her in hospital, but all is well that ends well, and she's happy, healthy, and home!

It's times like these that really make me grateful that I have been blessed to live the life of an independent trader, free to dodge and weave and adapt to the curve balls life throws at you.

I haven't looked at screens for a while, so I come to the charts with fresh eyes. Here is what I'm seeing and can forecast for the week to come. Continue reading "Weekly Stock Market Forecast"

Bitcoin Triggered Buy Setup, Plus Gold And Silver

Bitcoin is a true modern hero in the financial world as it stands no matter what. Let it be the Chinese government's ban or US regulators and financial elite's rejection.

It is amazing how Bitcoin follows a conventional chart structure as it acts like matured instruments over time but at a higher speed. The predicted drop in leg 2 down hasn’t kept us long as it emerged the same day when the previous update was posted.

Most of you thought that this drop could be just a part of a pullback ahead of another Bitcoin rally.

Bitcoin Daily Chart

The collapse in red leg 2 down was close to hitting the preset target of $38k, as it bottomed at the $39,600 mark. The structure looks completed as it has met the minimum requirement to travel an equal distance with leg 1. Continue reading "Bitcoin Triggered Buy Setup, Plus Gold And Silver"
