Lumber has enjoyed rare period of upside this month, following a particularly difficult 2022 that saw price fall 67%. Understandably, concerns over construction spending in the face of surging interest rates does provide a backdrop that justifies much of that weakness. However, with prices having dropped back down into levels not seen since the onset of the pandemic, there is a case for things to have overstretched to the downside.

Interestingly, the turn of the year seems to have marked the end of that downtrend for now, with the price of lumber up 30% this month alone. This is highlighted by the weekly chart below, which shows a sharp pickup from the 200-month SMA and one-standard deviation channel. With the month almost complete, it looks highly likely that we are set to complete a bullish engulfing candlestick formation here. That same signal market the beginning of multi-month bullish reversals back in September 2021 and November 2020.

From a short-term perspective, the recent rebound does remain a potential retracement given the wider downtrend and intact $544 swing high. The recovery has seen price rise up towards the 76.4% Fibonacci level, with that level providing the next hurdle in view. With US economic data highlighting the potential for a somewhat softer landing, bulls will hope that demand similarly picks up to provide enough impetus to allow a break through $544 resistance.

    • I have recently researched cryptocurrency exchange tokens with good potential that would be a profitable investment for the upcoming bull market. This is what I found so far. 1. Binance's token BNB, BNB is the biggest exchange token and has done well over the years. However, its performance this year has not been great and it currently trades at over $200. 2. OKX's token, OKB, is trading at over $40 and has performed very well in 2023. It may be a good addition to our portfolio for the upcoming bull market. 3. Bitget's token, BGB. The BGB daily chart looks fascinating and it currently trades around $0.40. Based on the exchange's growth in 2023, BGB seems to be the most promising exchange token I have researched. I will continue to research other exchange tokens, but for now, I would like to know your thoughts on these tokens.
    • If you have been into cryptocurrency over the time, you'd have noticed it has faced a lot of ups and downs, from several crackdowns to adoptions, ranging from China's ban, to El Salvador's adoption, including Tesla's adoption and others, and it looks as though in an ever developing world of technology, adoption seems to be the resolution for advancing companies and now we have another adoption, Honda Motor Co. Honda Motor Co., a well-known Japanese automaker, has made a surprising decision to accept digital assets as payment for its goods. By collaborating with the blockchain payment platform FCF Pay, Honda now makes it possible for clients to lease or buy their cars and power equipment using different cryptocurrencies, including XRP and the most popular doge token, Shiba Inu (SHIB). This partnership increases the possibilities accessible to customers who may now purchase Honda's cars, motorbikes, and power equipment using digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Polkadot (DOT), and other well-known cryptocurrencies in addition to XRP and Shiba Inu (SHIB) rather than conventional cash. The unique feature of Honda's offering is that it accepts a variety of more uncommon meme-inspired coins, such as Pepe Coin (PEPE), Floki Inu (FLOKI), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), and Doge Killer (LEASH). Connecting the dots of various happenings in the crypto space and sudden adoption by various companies and even some economies, where do you see cryptocurrency in the coming years and what steps are you taking in preparation for it?
