Yields haven‘t topped I said

Even if refusing the break below 4,260 yesterday, S&P 500 was positioning for a decline on reasonably good non-farm payrolls. Since the European morning, the clues have been slowly gettting stronger, and the macro expectations I announced, were getting fulfilled even before the data release.

As said, what‘s not to love about it – I‘ll cover more of the secotral and individual stocks impact within an upcoming extraordinary article that you can however expect to be a regular part of daily premium analytical articles as of next week – your upcoming feedback over email is more than welcome as I‘m after all making it for you both traders and investors. With non-farm payrolls, always remember the market is myopically focused only on one figure, ignoring revisions.

Today´s article is the final one totally open in full - inspired by Tuesday´s announcement - and in the nearest days I´ll announce what´s new, see the text higher for teaser already.

Let‘s move right into the charts (all courtesy of www.stockcharts.com) – today‘s full scale article contains 3 of them.

S&P 500 and Nasdaq Outlook

First 4,268, then 4,246 must be broken – first is major, second is a minor support. I‘m not bringing up upside targets, and am instead using them to lock in open gains from the fine short that‘s still on. Sectorally, I‘m looking for most to end up in the red, and for the Magnificent 7 hiding place, to become very strained indeed as well. It‘s again about buyers overpowering buy the dipper, going eventually to 4,225 – please review this real time Telegram commentary.

Gold, Silver and Miners

Expect more backing and filling within this bottom searching – neither big breaks lower or higher would stick today, regardless of copper being (and bound to be) a bit more positive than precious metals.

Crude Oil

Crude oil made it south to my target, and again really fast. Similarly to gold, today is a bobbing around the $82.50 bottom day – one where bears will be pushing prices south of $82.50 rather than buyers successfully countering.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
