The Bank of Japan is currently fighting with teeth and nails to defend the JPY

Trust in London and New York is evaporating:


Global central banks are removing gold from vaults in London and New York as they become increasingly concerned about storing bullion outside their own borders


India and France are among those that have relocated huge volumes of gold out of the US and UK in the past year to store domestically.


Not only are fewer central banks currently storing Gold in London and in New York year-on-year but increasingly nations are switching to domestic storage or via diversified overseas storage locations.


This is also going to seriously impact the paper price of Gold in the West as the collateral they use, via overseas Gold stored in London and New York, will no longer be possible.

Bitcoin's Hurst Nominal 40-Week Cycle

BTCUSD 37-week cycle is rolling over toward a trough in October.

It's among weaker compared to the past 5 periods.


NQ Cycle Peak O'clock

NASDAQ 100 futures are ripe for a reversal, as per 3 dominant cycles on the daily chart.


Hope everyone had a good long weekend, and a happy belated Father's Day to the dads out there. With markets closed Friday for Juneteenth, here's where things stand coming into the week.


Last week was volatile. The Fed turned hawkish on Wednesday, taking rate cuts off the table and signaling a possible hike, and stocks sold off hard. The selling didn't last. By Thursday the market had erased the entire drop, led by the semiconductors (Intel rose almost 11% on news it would build chips in the US with Apple) and small caps, which closed at a record. The week finished higher than it started.


The trend is in solid shape coming in, with all three major indexes still pointed higher. The open this morning was soft, concentrated in the large-cap names, but the selling pressure has eased since the bell. Small caps are leading, the broad market is roughly flat, and energy is higher as oil ticks up on renewed Middle East tension over the weekend.

given the potential for a strong risk on mone on Tuesday/Wednesday, BTC might not have completed this correction. Would not be syrprised to see 61400 today and then a bounce toiwards 68250

SPX Time Cycles

·         The early June peak coincided with a cycle peak confluence of multiple cycles.

·         While longer cycles have turned down, or are doing so, the cycle picture is especially complex next week for some dominant long cycles.

·         In the next few days we have the following estimated peaks and troughs: 1. 122.4td peak (green diamond); 2) 58.9td trough (orange diamond), and 3) 186.6td peak (red diamond); It is not very clear how this will play out, but one could argue more upside bias early this week based on these three cycles.

·         Then all should head down toward the trough of the 77.3td cycle about 7/13/26, which is relatively strong and could produce a bounce going against these other cycles.


Note: the triangles and diamonds in the top panel correspond to individual cycle peaks and troughs for short and long cycles, respectively. The color codes are provided in the legend.


SPX Technical Indicators

·         I track several technical indicators tuned to the 77td cycle which has relatively strongest impact on intermediate-term price swings.

·         They deteriorated significantly in the last two weeks and even if SPX makes a higher high, they will likely exhibit strong negative divergences.

·         Incredible momentum since the end of March is fading.


Crude Oil (CL) - 3 Dominant Cycles
- CL has been dropping since March following the three dominant cycles faithfully. The war and Hormuz news has been creating small wiggles but the trend was down, aside from daily news noise.
- Based on these 3 cycles, should form a trough of sorts in several weeks and bounce in August. The key word is "bounce."



Altcoin Gems: Layer-1 $SEI 💎


The deeper I research $SEI, the clearer it becomes why this blockchain was built specifically for trading. While some major blockchains still charge over $0.17 per transaction, $SEI averages just ~$0.00041.


• Faster execution
• Near-zero fees
• Built for massive scale
• Privacy narrative on the horizon


On a per-transaction basis, the difference may seem small.

But for high-volume traders, those savings compound quickly, making cost efficiency a major advantage.


What's even more interesting is that despite being backed by major investors such as Bitget, Circle Ventures, and Jump Crypto with $85M raised, approximately 60.5% of the token supply has already been unlocked.


The next unlock on July 15, 2026, is only 55.6M $SEI (~$3.07M), relatively small compared to the current size of the ecosystem.


📍 Entry: $0.53 – $0.49
❌ Invalidation: Below $0.42
🎯 Take Profit: $0.60 – $0.72


$SEI isn't just another Layer-1. It's a blockchain optimized for trading. 🚀

NQ - Potential Inverse H&S Pattern

  • NQ might be forming an Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern, in support of the green count
  • The target will depend on the exact crossing of the neckline, but as you could see from 3 assumed crossings, the differences are small
  • Notably, the shown speculative targets rhyme with cycle price projections
