Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC) Weekly Chart AnalysisCompany: Marsh & McLennan Companies
Ticker: MMC
Exchange: NYSE
Sector: Financial Services
Introduction:
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my post. Today, we analyze the Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC) chart on the weekly scale, focusing on a classic price pattern called the "Rectangle Pattern." Marsh & McLennan Companies is a global professional services firm operating in the financial services sector, traded on the NYSE under the ticker MMC.
Classic Rectangle Pattern:
The classic rectangle pattern is a chart pattern formed when the price of an asset moves between two parallel horizontal lines, representing support and resistance levels, over a period of time. In essence, it reflects a consolidation phase where the market is undecided about the direction of the trend.
Analysis:
In the case of MMC, we find a textbook example of a rectangular formation, with several points of contact to the upper and lower boundary. The resistance was at 177.32 and the support at 146.73. The price pattern has formed for 497 days, and now, for the first time, a weekly candle has closed above the resistance level of 177.32. The price is currently retesting the resistance as support, which provides an ideal entry opportunity. The price is clearly above the 200 EMA, implying a bullish environment.
Additional Analysis:
With the breakout above the resistance level, we should closely monitor MMC's price action for confirmation that the breakout is genuine and not a false breakout. A successful retest of the 177.32 level as support could signify that the breakout is valid, and we may expect the price to move towards the target at 203.53, which represents a ~15% price increase.
Conclusion:
The Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC) weekly chart showcases a classic Rectangle Pattern, reflecting a consolidation phase in the market. A breakout above the resistance level and a successful retest as support indicate a bullish scenario. By closely monitoring the price action and support and resistance levels, traders can be better prepared for any potential price action in the future. As always, it's essential to consider risk management and proper position sizing when trading based on chart patterns.

SSE Composite Index WCA - Classic Rectangle Introduction:
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my post. Today, we analyze the SSE Composite Index on the weekly scale, focusing on a classic price pattern called the "Rectangle Pattern." The SSE Composite Index is the most important stock index in China, excluding Hong Kong. It is a price index weighted by market capitalization and includes all public companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The index is published by the China Securities Index Company. Analyzing an index helps enormously with top-down approaches, as it provides a broader perspective of the market and allows investors to gauge the overall sentiment before diving into individual stocks.
Rectangle Pattern:
The rectangle pattern is a chart pattern formed when the price of an asset moves between two parallel horizontal lines—representing support and resistance levels—over a period of time. In essence, it reflects a consolidation phase where the market is undecided about the direction of the trend.
Remember, this is just a brief introduction to the technical aspects of the rectangle pattern. As you delve deeper into this topic, you'll discover more nuances and practical applications that can enhance your trading strategies.
Additional Analysis:
On the SSE Composite Index chart, we can observe some fascinating insights. The general trend was downward until 25/04/2022, which changed with the formation of a hammer. Since then, the price has been bound within a range, which is depicted as a classic rectangle pattern. This pattern has been forming for 423 days, which is notable because the longer a pattern remains consistent, the higher the probability that the subsequent breakout will be volatile.
The support of the range is at 2890, while the resistance is at 3400. Currently, the price is above the 200 EMA, making a long entry more attractive. We will closely monitor the price pattern and wait for a break above 3400 while examining the sectors or stocks from the SSE Composite Index more closely. The next potential resistance after 3400 would be 3720.
Top-Down Approach Significance:
A top-down approach is a method that investors use to analyze the market, beginning with a broad overview and then narrowing down to individual stocks. This method helps investors identify the overall market sentiment and trends, allowing them to make more informed decisions when selecting stocks within specific sectors or industries. Analyzing the SSE Composite Index, as shown in this post, provides a valuable starting point for investors looking to employ a top-down approach in their decision-making process.
Conclusion:
The SSE Composite Index weekly chart showcases a classic Rectangle Pattern, reflecting a consolidation phase in the market. By closely monitoring the support and resistance levels, as well as the general trend, traders can be better prepared for any potential price action in the future. Utilizing a top-down approach enables investors to gain a broader perspective and make more informed decisions when selecting stocks. As always, it's essential to consider risk management and proper position sizing when trading based on chart patterns.

Hang Seng Index (HSI) WCA - Inverted Head and Shoulders PatternHello and thank you for taking the time to read my post. Today, we analyze the Hang Seng Index (HSI) on the weekly scale, focusing on a classic price pattern called the "Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern." The Hang Seng Index is the leading stock index in Hong Kong and one of the most important in Asia. It tracks the share prices of the 50 largest and most traded companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, representing about 57% of the total market capitalization on this exchange.
Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern:
The inverted head and shoulders pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that occurs at the end of a downtrend. It is characterized by three troughs or valleys, with the middle one being the lowest (the head) and the two on either side being relatively higher (the shoulders). The pattern is completed by a horizontal line called the "neckline," which connects the highs of the shoulders. In a nutshell, the formation of the inverted head and shoulders pattern signals a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.
Remember, this is just a brief introduction to the technical aspects of the inverted head and shoulders pattern. As you delve deeper into this topic, you'll discover more nuances and practical applications that can enhance your trading strategies.
Additional Analysis:
Upon analyzing the HSI weekly chart, we observe a downward trend since 16/02/2021, with the blue diagonal resistance line representing the general trend. As classic chart pattern analysts, our attention is immediately drawn to the textbook example of an inverted head and shoulders pattern, clearly defined with the left shoulder, head, and right shoulder. The symmetry between the shoulders is perfect, and the pattern has been forming for an impressive 491 days. This is noteworthy because the longer a price pattern remains consistent, the more powerful the eventual breakout will be.
We cannot predict when the right shoulder will form and break out, but we can see that the price supports the symmetry line in the form of a bullish engulfing (orange mark). The price is currently still below the 200 EMA, which is another indication that we should continue to watch this price pattern closely and not jump to conclusions. Thus, we patiently await our opportunity.
Conclusion:
The Hang Seng Index (HSI) weekly chart showcases an Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern, reflecting a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. By closely monitoring the pattern's intricacies and the market's subtle cues, traders can be better prepared for any potential price action in the future. As always, it's essential to consider risk management and proper position sizing when trading based on chart patterns.

XCH looking good in this rangeAfter the price drops massively the first year after trading started from the low volume ~1k USD per XCH during feature trading and a peak up above 2k USD the price now is in a range between ~30 USD and ~50 USD. The network space slowly started to grow ~10% since january 2023 and can be considered stable since july 2022. The node count is ~115k (ETH ~7k, BTC ~17k). The inflation is still high with ~9k XCH per day, 1st halving is ~ Q1 2024. Meanwhile the circulating supply reaches 25% of the total supply, 75% is hold by the Chia Company. The company announced a few days ago to have submited the registration to the U.S. SEC. In my opinion that is a positive sign but it should also not be overrated at this point. They still need to build valueable partnerships and the global market may dip again. ETH could build up sell pressure or other bad news can shock that market again. On the other side people could buy crypto because they think it is worth more in the future than keeping their fiat. I also still expect the tech market to dip again and maybe the financial market too. I just hope that china does not do the russian a**h*** move and invades it's neighbors too. Climate crises also can have a bigger impact on the markets the next years than many expect. I am still surprised that people think that buying a Tesla or "green" fuel does save us from destroing our own environment we need to live in. I just hope for a bullrun or two before the people wake up. ;-) But who knows what happens next, pls tell me. ;-)
As always, no financial advice.
Will The U.S Dollar Collapse ?OANDA:XAUUSD
Currencies fall for various reasons and they include:
1. Political or economic disorder
2. Hyperinflation
3. War
4. A labor market decline
5. Recession, among various other reasons.
1.The United States has weathered several political and economic disorders since its formation in 1776. The country was on the brink of collapse during the Great Depression in 1929 but successfully weathered the storm in 1939. Not only did it withstand the Great Depression, but it also fought World War II with valor the same year. The will to overcome all odds is in the blood of Americans come hell or high water. Therefore, the US has more chances to overcome political or economic disorder due to this very spirit.
2 Hyperinflation
Inflation in the US is high but has not reached hyperinflation yet. The Federal Reserve managed to bring down rates from 8% to 6.5% and are rowing the boat, despite muddy waters. Hyperinflation taking over the country with daily essentials becoming 50 times more expensive might never be a reality.
3. War
The US is technically not at war but funds wars overseas, be it Ukraine, Syria, and Yemen, among other countries. A rogue nation attacking the US since 9/11 is nil, and the country is not at war today. The US is more equipped to handle and thwart terrorist attacks today than it was ever before.
4. Labor Market Decline
The job markets remain robust despite several leading tech firms firing thousands of employees since 2020. Businesses are thriving, and jobs for small and big-level employees remain open for hire. Though the job markets remain on shaky grounds, it managed to sustain and grow, even in muddy conditions.
5. Recession
While talks of a recession are growing louder, a recession has technically not hit the markets yet. Both the stock and cryptocurrency markets are doing favorably well in 2023 and generating decent returns for investors. However, a recession cannot be ruled out, as there’s pressure on the financial markets.
Considering all the above points, the US stands in a favorable position with the only recession being its weak point. Moreover, since a recession is yet to arrive (or might not arrive), the weak point can be removed for now. In conclusion, the other sore spots can be worked upon and brought under control in the coming years.
So Will The US Dollar Collapse?
BRICS is yet to finalize a new currency in the upcoming summit in South Africa. The problem with BRICS nations is that decisions are not made swiftly and quickly due to various factors. Asian countries working with each other is not as easy as said.
The factors involve India’s broken relations with China and vice-versa. India and China have always been on the wrong ends, and the bitter political disputes could only make things worse.
Technically, the US dollar is backed as the default global reserve currency with billions worth of trades being executed each day. The US dollar has a special status globally and is considered one of the safest currencies. The United States is still the biggest economy in the world with an annual GDP of around $23 trillion.
Even if the US falters, it always has and will find a way to remain at the top and be an undisputed global leader. The Great Depression is one big example of how nothing is impossible for Americans to succeed in troubled times.
The SPY Capitulation Bottom Will Surprise Global Traders.My research suggests the SPY is setting up a massive Capitulation bottom - and likely to move dramatically higher over the next 5+ years.
It's too early to call this a confirmed bottom signal - but, it may be a great time to start looking for some "anchor trades" in the best stocks/sectors headed into 2024 and beyond.
My research combines technical analysis, economic functions, cycles, and predictive analysis.
While everyone seems to be calling for a massive price collapse, I continue to tell everyone "get ready for the RALLY".
I could be wrong - time will tell.
All I know is the technical/cycle and fundamental economic structure don't correlate with a massive price collapse now, or even in 2030~2035.
What I see is a very big extended Wave-5 function that NO ONE is seeing.
Follow my research. This is the greatest opportunity of your lifetime.
DJI SHOWING BULLISH SIGN right now US market
consolidating taking rest after strong up move
nifty tomorrow open gap up due to DJI & SGX showing +ve move
BTC Outlook 2023-2025Fresh new data and more information of significant factors brings me to a new deliberate prediction.
The corrective wave that we are in is not a usual corrective wave. It could make twice as long as the two previous corrective waves in 2014 and 2018, an ABC move from a larger degree of Elliot Wave (Could be a wave 4 from the whole BTC movement since 2009).
Currently we are in a bear market rally that potentially will bring BTC up to 25k, from there the corrective move will continue to the bottom which potentially at 8k in early 2024.
I still believe potential Fed pivot will be around Q4 2023-Q1 2024 and inflation at that time will probably sits around 2-3%. 3% is good enough to restart the Quantitative Easing.
Due to the longer corrective wave, 4th BTC Halving in Q2 2024 will occur in the 1st wave, not the same with the last three halvings that occured in the 3rd wave.
This also means that we are approximately one year away from the beginning of a new bull market that potentially will make BTC going up to 140k or 1600% from 8k. Expect more business entities to collapse, more lay-offs and rising unemployment which also means rising in crime rates. Take care and survive!
Economic Outlook for 10-15 years aheadMy Economic Outlook for 10-15 years ahead
The rare double-dip recession
October CPI report shows Inflation slightly decreased to 7.7% and The Fed already made a statement to decrease The Fedfunds Rate. Potential Fed pivot approximately will occur in Q1 or Q2 of 2023. That will be the time of disinflationary period or maybe we are already in by now. What to be expected in disinflationary period is stock market drawdown will continue, rising unemployment, more business entities will collapse, fewer job openings, in short 2023 will be dark especially in the US. Technically it is a recession.
The good news is inflation can be pushed back to 2% area and from there QE can be restarted. Most people that already tired by long economic drawdown are strongly craving for bull market. Productivity will rise again along with its economic and secondary leverage and a creeping up inflation leaving the 2% area. An inherent nature of capitalism.
The question is what will be the destiny of Petrodollar as its losing control over the total international trade volume. The rapid change of global power dynamics which spearheaded by BRICS+ economy has substantially diminish the Dollar hegemony. The regional powers that have control over the world commodities are grouping up to create a new, commodity-backed currency. In addition to that there is a strongly rising tension between Russia and NATO.
More than 50 years ago, the US left the Bretton-Woods System and to keep the US dollar relevant as global reserve currency, Petrodollar was introduced and rapidly embraced by the OPEC which consequently making the US Dollar became the world's most traded currency. That is the underlying value of the Dollar besides of debt.
But the current astronomical $30+ Trillion of government debt and the weakening of Petrodollar globally has come to a critical question of what will be the next US decisive move?
Chaos has to be applied first to disrupt any potential challenger to the US Dollar, and from there a revolutionary economic policy has to be implemented.
Worst case scenario is the new Great Depression can manifest after almost 100 years since its first occurrence in 1929.
Note: This economic outlook which also the same with any version of economic outlook is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. This post is mean for educational purpose only.

BLUE LINE - Last Support For Crude OilIs this it? Headed into the end of 2023 - are we going to see Crude Oil fall below $76 ppb as COVID & economic concerns trap the global economy into a contraction phase?
My research suggests Crude Oil will attempt to find support near $63 to $65 before attempting to bottom. From current levels, this suggests a -$30 ppb downward price trend is likely.
Two things are likely driving this trend:
Lack of global demand
Inflation/Price concerns
Has the current Flag/Pennant reached the APEX and is price attempting to break downward?
Time will tell...
Follow my research.
BTC SHOWING SOME MOVEMENT SIGNHello traders according to my last analysis I expected the BTC bull to reach 22k before the bear continuation, but the market found some rejection which made to an extreme resistance around 20k above and support around 18k. What I m expecting now is for the market to break to the down side in order to continue the bear market
BTC BULLISH BIASBTC/USDT
Day trading, short term traders should be very careful to go long, because of the bearish flag pattern setting up. DOO we are expecting a correction to complete WAVE 5 according to ELLIOT WAVES count. Investors can start buying, but day traders should be careful. Wait to buy at the support or sell at the resistance, because the market is ranging
So, I looked at the CNY (Chinese Yuan or Juan) more, and..Check out my most recent publishing(s) referring to this particular exchange rate in the "Related Ideas" section below if your interested in the USDCNY.
I took a closer look at my in-depth analysis over the weekend and felt as though it needed some adjustments (additions*) + further complication..
but its for the better.. hear me out.
Ive been spending the last month or so, and will be spending as much time as necessary to catch up and become more and more familiar with what's appearing to become an even more disastrous real estate market than what we know to be the worst recorded event (in relativity) in capitalism history. ("the 2008 financial crisis")
This event could be worse, simply due to the fact that China is so powerful.. (which is good for us; the money managers!)
As a trader, its important to consider the recent upturn regarding political and socioeconomic gossip. IYKYK
There is plenty of public and freely available information on how to approach any market using fundamental risk management.
Save this, be patient, and ask questions.
Happy trading, and good luck!
Possible Bearish Continuation For Stocks
Following on from my previous stock ideas, I'm expecting a further downswing after the consolidation bounce on most stocks for a Wave 'C' once the bearish continuation symmetrical triangle breaks down
