Just Buy The Discount


Recommended Posts

Interesting rant (I mean solo twitter thread) and something to chew on over the weekend. Chopping out all the expletives somewhat spoils the flow but you'll get the gist.

Jeff Davis @Shaq48_Trading

so sick of seeing all the absolute ***** of "listen to this wise smart guy" oh by the way who has been ***** wrong for years. Or that guy smart guy makes such good points because this arcane ***** measure of some ***** predicts something within a 3 year time frame. 

fintwit is filled with so many so smart ***** wrong for years at a time losers that are on all the podcasts and tv shows etc..they only cost you money and opportunity. 

learn to tune out all of the macro masters of the universe and gann wheel *****.. or anything that comes close to resembling tops in strong tapes...

bull genius is a beautiful thing in the real world only, on fintwit is it passed off as useless... the guy who when you ask why he bought the dip that answers because the markets been going up doesn't get an interview...

the guy that doesn't care about bad news... he buys dips till it doesn't work doesn't get the podcast and tv show... why because he is just a dumb dip buyer. 

virtually nobody makes money in a bear market and most don't make money in a bull run because they listen to every stupid reason that it can't continue and take themselves off the train. 

just be dumb enough to buy dips in a strong tape... don't worry about being smart enough to pick tops. 

define a strong tape and until that definition no longer fits ignore most everything and buy a discount.

    • H4 Time Frame: Made an interesting observation. Looks like gold is in "Cycle Pattern #2"... Daily Time Frame: Gold is currently challenging cyclical support - an important level, a closing below would suggest a further decline, unless price creates a bearish reversal by immediately closing back inside the cycle. If this happens, we will have a low or temporarily low in place.
    • This week sees three major central banks meet to decide on interest rates. All three of the Fed, ECB and BoE are expected to leave rates unchanged, but the commentary around these decisions could cause volatility. Source: Bloomberg   Shares Federal Reserve Inflation European Central Bank Central bank Interest rate    Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Monday 11 December 2023 15:40 Fed to rein in hopes of rate cuts? The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain the current Fed funds target range of 5.25-5.5% at the upcoming FOMC meeting. This decision is influenced by recent economic indicators such as softer activity numbers, cooling labour data, and moderate month-on-month inflation figures. These factors suggest that the current monetary policy is likely restrictive enough to bring inflation down to the desired 2% level in the coming months. However, the focus of attention is likely to be on the individual forecasts of Fed members. The market perceives that significant rate cuts are imminent, but it remains to be seen how far the Fed members will align with this sentiment. It is anticipated that there will be considerable resistance to such expectations. Markets are now firmly anticipating the possibility of aggressive interest rate cuts by the Fed in 2023. On November 1st, after the Fed kept rates steady, markets saw only a 20% chance of a final rate hike in December and expected around 90 basis points of cuts through 2024. Currently, markets clearly believe interest rates have peaked, with 125 basis points of cuts priced in over the next year. The risk for this Fed meeting is that the central bank proves to be insufficiently dovish for current investor expectations. Risk assets like stocks having come so far since late October that they are now pricing in a lot more good news. Disappointment in the wake of the Fed meeting could spark a selloff in equities and a surge in the dollar that could undermine hopes of a ‘Santa rally’ in stock markets. ECB split on the way forward The European Central Bank (ECB) is facing internal disagreements regarding future monetary policy. Some members are open to further rate hikes, while others believe rate cuts may be necessary. The weak economic backdrop does not justify rate hikes, but the solid labour market and wage growth, along with inflation above target, make discussions on rate cuts premature. The ECB has mentioned the "last mile" in bringing inflation back to target, emphasizing the need to keep rates higher for longer. Wage settlements will also play a significant role in determining the ECB's stance. Despite the ECB's gradual shift towards a more dovish stance, there is a risk of underestimating disinflation. The ECB is cautious after years of above-target inflation, and will be slow in moving towards a more dovish stance. Bank of England to stick to tough stance on inflation The Bank of England (BoE) is expected to maintain its firm stance against interest rate cuts in the UK, despite other central banks considering a change in their approach to inflation. The BoE is projected to keep borrowing costs at a 15-year high and emphasise the need for elevated rates to combat stubborn inflation in the country. While the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve are also likely to keep their benchmark rates unchanged, officials at both institutions have indicated a potential shift towards rate cuts. Although the UK's inflation rate has decreased from its peak of 11.1% a year ago, it remains above the BoE's 2% target. The BoE is concerned that despite signs of a cooling labour market, wage growth remains strong following the 14 consecutive interest rate hikes between December 2021 and August this year. Governor Andrew Bailey and other members of the Monetary Policy Committee have consistently emphasized that it is premature to consider rate cuts. However, investors are pricing in a potential BoE rate cut for May or June next year. Nevertheless, the BoE is perceived to be lagging behind the ECB and the Fed, with markets indicating a 70% chance of rate cuts by March for both institutions.       This information has been prepared by IG, a trading name of IG Markets Limited.

    • Trends in the cryptocurrency market as of December 11, 2023: Market as a Whole: $1.71 trillion in market capitalization (-0.27% during the past day) Overall Market Sentiment: A little pessimistic, with Bitcoin becoming more and altcoins becoming less prevalent. Principal Patterns: Dominance of Bitcoin: With regard to the entire cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's dominance rate has risen to 52.45%, a 2.5-year high. This implies that investors may be shifting their portfolios to safer, larger assets. Technical indicators: A strengthening of the upward trend is indicated by the fact that the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin has risen over 70. In the near run, this might be encouraging for the price of Bitcoin. Price Action: After momentarily hitting $44,202, its highest level since April 2022, Bitcoin has been circling $44,100. Ethereum is remaining stable at $2,280. for more details
