Greetings, fellow investors! Let's dive into the delightful world of Japanese equities, where the Nikkei 225 is dancing like never before, leaving us pondering: should we join the party? I'd say there's indeed a compelling case for dipping our toes into Japanese stocks, but let's not forget to sprinkle in a dash of nuance. Here's my take on why this market is buzzing and the quirky hurdles it might face. Peeking Behind the Curtain: The Intriguing Structural Makeover Riding the Wave: Japanese Equities Soar Across the Map Sure, the recent rally is like a flashy fireworks display, but wait until you uncover the structural facelifts happening backstage.

The S&P 500 fell by 0.04% on Monday, following a minor sell-off of 1% last week. Although the S&P 500 is currently trading just 0.99% or 52 points below its all-time high at 5,254, some stocks have recently experienced notable corrections. Notable examples include Nvidia (-8% off ATH), AMD (-20% off ATH), SMCI (-22% off ATH), and Ulta Beauty (-20% off ATH).   Last week's weak performance in the S&P 500 was likely due to: Federal Reserve's Kashkari floating the idea of no rate cut this year. A strong non-farm payrolls report. The tax filing season.   We are not particularly worried because: Fed's Kashkari is not a member of the Fed's policy-setting committee, and therefore, his statements do not carry much weight. The strong non-farm payrolls suggest a stronger-than

The US Fed is now in a dilemma. High interest rates are like high blood pressure. Investment banks, small and medium-sized enterprises, and the US government are complaining the high interest rates. It is unknown what bomb will explode. If interest rates are not lowered, something bad will happen.  If interest rates are lowered, where will the huge amount of US dollars and the record high US money market funds go? If they stay in the United States, inflation will explode again.  The surge in gold prices is a prediction that the US dollar will flow to commodities, and gold has the lowest storage cost. Currently, only Chinese assets are cheap and large-scale acquisitions in the world, but the United States does not want Wall Street money to flow to China. The United

$(OXY)$  Occidental Petroleum (OXY) Poised for Growth Amidst Geopolitical Turmoil With the ongoing tensions in Gaza and the broader macroeconomic and geopolitical instability, the global oil market is facing significant headwinds. These disruptions are likely to restrict supply and push prices higher. Impact on OXY Occidental Petroleum (OXY) is well-positioned to benefit from this environment. As a leading oil producer, the company's revenue and profitability are directly tied to oil prices. An increase in oil prices would translate to a significant boost for OXY's bottom line. Bullish Outlook In conclusion, the current market dynamics present a bullish opportunity for Occidental Petroleum. The company's exposure to r

Nasdaq, S&P, Dow end higher after latest jobs report, but retreat on a weekly basis$Nasdaq100 Bull 3X ETF(TQQQ)$   Wall Street made solid gains on Friday, after the latest nonfarm payrolls report signaled cooling inflation and a U.S. economy that was powering ahead of others. The advance came despite the data also underscoring the Federal Reserve's wait-and-see approach to cutting interest rates. Fed speakers reacted with caution to the jobs print. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.24% to end at 16,248.52 points. A rise in megacap stocks provided a boost to the tech-heavy index, with Netflix (NFLX) climbing more than 3% after Pivotal Research upped its price target on the streaming giant's stock to a Street high

After researching and understanding the market in an election year I'm confident that Q2 will continue it's trajectory rise. I'm hopeful for a good year ahead.

I'm expecting Q2 to see further gains in election build up.  From Blackrock: For equity markets, election years traditionally start slow (and volatile) and improve with greater certainty ― e.g., once candidates are nominated in the summer and after Election Day, as shown in the chart below. The outcome of the election historically has done little to change this pattern, suggesting that clarity is more important than parties or politics when it comes to the broad market. One notable takeaway from our analysis of data back to 1928 is that average full-year price returns in election vs. non-election years are basically the same ― at 7.3% and 7.5%, respectively ― but the path to getting there is very different, as the chart shows. This year’s strong start (+7% through March 15 vs. the 0%

There will always be gain for some industries And maybe not for others. But I find CNBX news are quite deceiving, it is what they write that makes investors or readers want to believe in, in a way manipulative? For example, is buying Gold that cause the price to rise means investors is optimistic about rate cuts even when the Fed has highlighted it may only cut when the time is right and the time is not now, why? Because inflation is still hot on its heel even though it is slowing down. or could it be that investors are using gold as an hedge because the economy looks to be unstable, if interest rate optimism is there and representative of people's intention, why then the need to buy more gold? So be better informed about the situations and not let just news alone or read from various

We saw 03 April 2024 trading session begin on a softer note before shifting to mostly positive price action at around 10pm last night. The release of a softer than expected ISM Services PMI for March has helped to catalyse this change. Even though we saw mostly positive price action, it did not help the major indices to maintain their peak levels. We even saw some of the leading stocks pulling back before the close of the market. Key Up and Down Movements We saw Microsoft giving a decrease of $0.99 to close at $420.24, this is a negative 0.2% change, after we saw it was up by as much as 0.4% initially. We saw $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ not able to hold it earlier upside of 0.1%, ended the session at $889.64, which is a negative 0.6% change of $4.88. The

Powell: under current outlook, rate cuts likely to be appropriate this year 04/04/2024 "Recent readings on both job gains and inflation have come in higher than expected," Powell said in a speech to the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and while policymakers generally agree rates can fall later this year, that will only happen once they "have greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably down" to the Fed's 2% target. His remarks repeated language the Fed has adopted as it tries to balance the risks of cutting interest rates before inflation is truly controlled with the risks of suppressing economic activity more than is needed. As new data arrive, however, as many questions have been raised as answered. In separate comments to CNBC on Wednesday, Atlanta Fed President Raphael

The following will have a major impact on the S&P 500 for the rest of the year 1. Economic Indicators: Economic indicators such as GDP growth, unemployment rates, inflation levels, and consumer spending can provide insights into the health of the economy and influence investor sentiment. Positive economic data could support stock market optimism, while negative indicators could lead to caution among investors. 2. Corporate Earnings: Earnings reports from S&P 500 companies will be a crucial factor in determining market performance in Q2 2024. Strong corporate earnings growth could fuel bullish sentiment and drive stock prices higher, while disappointing earnings results could lead to market volatility. 3. Monetary Policy: The actions of central banks, particularly the Federal Reserv

After gaining 24% last year, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ — the benchmark index used to measure how stocks are performing overall — has continued its bullish run in 2024 by posting a nearly 11% gain through the first quarter of 2024.Photo illustration of a US dollar paper airplane flying upwards with a stock line trace behind itAccording to Reuters, since 1945, April and December are tied as the best-performing months of the year for stocks, with an average return of 1.6%.

Hi everyone! I’ll be updating my TA on one of my ideas. Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ: LYFT) In my previous newsletter, I talked about how LYFT was likely to make a pullback to 13.76, which would prove to be a significant buying opportunity. Evidently, we did not get the pullback. Therefore, the next order of business was to look for an overhead resistance and go long on a retest of support. I note that the 18.36 level checks these boxes. This level has been sticky for the past 3 years, and we duly retested it early in the session before closing above this level. I also note that there has been a trend markup, with steeper higher lows being made (green ascending trendline). The stock is now trading in a smaller ascending channel pattern. Interestingly enough, LYFT is in the midst of forming another

Since the pandemic in 2020, the U.S. stock market has shown extraordinary resilience. Even under the impact of high inflation and a rapid interest rate hike cycle, U.S. stocks have maintained a strong performance, even hitting new highs recently under the expectation of interest rate cuts. The reasons behind this are not as simple as they appear on the surface, but rather the result of a relay of factors.Souce: CICC Quarterly Foreign Direct Investment into US marketPillar 1: Leverage, The key role of government fiscal stimulusDuring the pandemic, the U.S. government implemented large-scale fiscal stimulus measures, including direct cash subsidies to residents and loan support to the corporate sector.

Hi everyone! I’ll be looking at another semiconductor stock: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE: TSM) TSM is forming higher highs and higher lows. It recently made new ATHs above 145 but has since come back below this level. I have identified 141.99 as a key pivot to reclaim for the next leg to occur. This was where prior ATHs rejected, and also a recent rejection zone (rejected even during Friday’s session). However, hidden bullish divergence has started to form on the weekly, which is a good sign for bulls. It is also trading in an ascending broadening wedge expansion pattern, similar to other semiconductor stocks such as AMD and MRVL. On the daily chart, the expansion pattern is more visible. I note that it is forming a hidden bullish divergence on the daily as well

Hi everyone! Today I’ll be updating my TA on an ETF known to all: SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (ARCA: SPY) SPY has continued to form a bearish divergence, which has since extended from 3 to… 6 legs! This is unlike anything that has ever formed on SPY before. However, in most cases, bearish divergences on ETFs tracking the market indices play out. This suggests that we might be looking at a multi-month pullback instead of a shallow correction. The latest development on SPY is that it has since broken out of its rising wedge, while testing the 1.618 Fib extension at 522.17 which I talked about in my previous newsletter on SPY. While we are currently trading over this level, SPY continues to reject the rising wedge and is unable to get back into it. This means that the ideal outcome for bears

Hi everyone! Today I’ll be updating my TA for another retail darling: Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) I nailed the end target for this move, as PLTR strongly rejected the 27.11 level (refer to Watchlist [36]). The stock is now in danger of forming a larger weekly bearish divergence pattern that could see a deeper pullback. I have marked out 3 major levels that were prior resistances, namely 21.85, 20.24 and 18.22. All 3 levels were strong support levels in 2021, but soon turned into overhead resistances between 2022-2023. Interestingly enough, all 3 levels also happen to rest near the 50%, 61.8% and 78.6% Fib retracements respectively, given a swing high of 27.50 and a swing low of 15.66. The potential saving grace for PLTR? The possibility of a third leg of hidden bullish diverge

Hi everyone! Today I’ll look at one of the AI darlings of 2024: SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN) From the weekly chart alone, SOUN is trading in a rounding bottom pattern with a key pivot at 14.08. Over the past few months, it has been making a consistent series of higher highs and higher lows. Significant volume spikes have been noted on green candles, suggesting bulls are firmly in control On the daily chart, we can see SOUN trading in a near-term ascending channel with higher highs and higher lows. I note that the stock has formed a bearish divergence on RSI, which has seen a move back to the support trendline. Interestingly enough, the stock appears to be putting in a third leg of hidden bullish divergence in the meantime. Divergence alone does not confirm anything, so we need to l

*TA as of 29/3/24 Hi everyone! I’ll be updating my TA on a stock I deemed to be “extremely explosive to the upside” previously: Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) Since the time I last posted on CVNA at the end of January, it has seen a 100+% gain to hit new 52-week highs at 94.04. However, I have reason to believe that the move up is weakening. Bearish divergence has begun to show up on the weekly chart, and the move up has been on declining volume. A lack of participation at and above the 23.6% Fib extension at 91.64 (assuming swing low of 3.55, which is the last major low and a swing high of 376.83, which is the ATH) suggests that there will be a pullback to retest supports further down. We also closed with a potential shooting star on the weekly, which is cause for concern - the last shooting s
