"Escape Velocity, or Gliding Without a Parachute?" 🧵

When I saw today's action, it reminded me of my early days "investing", mostly in crypto.

I had to start somewhere, and make every mistake humanly possible, to get where I am today.

Let's get into it...
2/x

As a young Electrical Engineer, and eventually Software convert, I naturally became interested in Bitcoin, in 2011.

Occupy Wall Street flooded the media zone. I realized a lot of the terminology was greek to me.

Then I fell down the rabbit hole...#Bitcoin
3/x

If you think Bitcoin is a scam, look around you and tell me what isn't these days.

Do you think that's "value" you're investing in now?
4/x

"Value" is what makes this this game emotional.

Treating it like a physical system that eats, drinks, breathes, and stretches...and modeling it with equations unemotionally is how I want to play the game, so $BTC is in my "must watch" category.

Here's why...
5/x

Bitcoin is a liquidity sponge and it trades 24/7, unlike trad markets.

This is very useful, so if you ignore my $BTC or $ETH charts, thinking they are irrelevant, I think you may be missing a lot of valuable information that relates to my liquidity thesis.
6/x

$BTC responds to a lot of things but the 2 biggest, especially in this illiquid near-corpse of a market are: 1. Liquidity Injections (WRESBAL/RRP) and 2. The $DXY (similar to gold, it's inversely related)
7/x

Looking at Bitcoin throughout the week I can infer liquidity levels based on where $DXY is as well.

The FOMC pump, we now know from the recent WRESBAL&RRP print being sideways, tells us the $BTC pump was due almost solely from currency shennanigans.

8/x

As I move through this process of understanding how these numbers in the matrix all relate, we have learned some things:

1. A currency swap is a powerful tool, and can create thrust in the market

2. The WRESBAL level seems "floorish", but maybe it's not magnetic like RRP
9/x

If liquidity stayed the same this week, then did the change in the dollar simply set off algos/strategies and start buying the dip we were all excited about, causing the $SQQQ breakout to fail?

And what about $DXY today? Pretty slick move.
10/x

These are questions more than answers/insights right now, so if anyone has a beat on these concepts, and can provide equations or help deriving one, I'm looking to see if Bitcoin combined with DXY could potentially provide a LIVE liquidity signal
11/x

WRESBAL is ~flat this week, the dollar looks primed to reverse upside IMO, so where are we?

Have the 🐻 won now?

Complacency is dangerous here IMO.

So what makes me think this isn't "The Big Drop"?
12/x

DEDO, what a champ today. What can i say, it was making me feel comfortable, as my account lost "value", because it's starting to validate patterns.
13/x

But notice, it did not HIT the 2nd (light blue) channel bound, and $VIX gap 3 in @VSoien's chart is still open, I believe.
14/x

What about the past? DEDO shows that fakeouts at the top are very common. Double topping formations almost every time.

Should we expect this type of bounce? I think we can, and I also think a treacherous DISTRIBUTION process is likely to occur. Image
15/x

What about going higher? It's possible, just let DEDO be the guide. It hasn't fully moved to the light blue extreme, so why assume we're curtains all the way down from here, and be complacent?

Data is in 🐻 favor, but there is still a lot of mania out there...
16/x

I know euphoria in markets, I've felt it as a crypto bull many times.

It's a hell of an addiction, so I can't take lightly just how high what might seem like GARBAGE can go in "value".
17/x

The question is was today the high? Are we going down from here? Probably at least tomorrow morning, yes. But look at all the confluent lines we have going on here.

They could act as strong support levels.

18/x

My plan tomorrow is to stay vigilant, watch $DXY, watch $BTC, watch $SPY, and of course $QQQ and $SQQQ for signs of rhythm. Are we going to distribute before crashing? Crash and bounce, like in the DASH top?

Sweet wick bro!
19/x

Please hit me up with ideas

I'd like to develop a plan to get a better cost basis on a bounce, but I'm worried I'll screw it up.

Distribution is designed to eat traders alive.

It looks like we'll gap ā¬ tomorrow, so congrats to anyone who hit my levels today, but...
20/20

I'm careful here. The game is a tricky one.

Say prices go down to support, the euphoria hasn't worn off, and Cramer says BTFD?

Sweaty, itchy FOMO ridden bulltards will stampede again, I'm sure.

Do they have gas in the tank?

More rugs we don't understand yet?

DEDO top reversal analysis using 1d candles.

Let's take a look at all the top swing reversals in the current bear market after 2022 started, and see if we can find any patterns...
2/6

The white channel, not including the "more extreme" blue channel starts from a bounce very near the 0 bound on 8th January 2021.

red bodied candles followed by consolidation are common. ImageImage
3/6

The 2022 TOP was an outlier. A massive overshoot candle shows up here because WRESBAL fell off a cliff. What a rug pull! ImageImage

"A Candle to Remember" 🧵

Just when I think this swing trade saga couldn't get any more amped, something hits me like a Tesla hits pedestrians at 100 mph on auto-pilot mode.

This one's going to get a little personal, so bear with me.

It'll be worth it in the end...
2/12

The Chinese balloon...

All I could think was how strange it is, the metaphors that arise in "reality" if this isn't a simulation of some kind.

Just when it seems all market reversal sirens are blaring, a big bubble pops in the sky, for all to see?
3/12

One of my favorite books is "Simulacra and Simulation" (Jean Baudrillard).

The world keeps reminding us that it is "imploding", one thing at a time.

The next story, which i promise eventually becomes relevant to my big trade, ties all of this together...

The Dark Energy Divergence Oscillator (DEDO)

"What the heck is this thing I'm looking at every day now?"

This one's for you.

Hope you like a little bit of math (not hard).

Let's dive in...
2/16

I'm not one for hiding secrets and trying to profit from them. I'd rather share ideas and grow a community, open source style.

So first I'll go through my thought process.

Then math

Then some charts with latest data from today.
3/16

Thought process for DEDO.

It's all about the liquidity. I admit that all I started with is a correlation, and all these levels you see on my posts are derived from it. That correlation has to do with WRESBAL, a balance sheet metric on FRED

Something tells me next week is going to be absolutely huge, so I'm taking all day to put my thesis together in one big 🧵

This will be long, and full of data, so grab a šŸŗ or ā˜•ļø and make sure to load up on šŸæ for next week.

Not financial advice.

Here we go...
2/15

I can't recap everything I've tweeted for months, but here's the short of it:

I believe we are still in a 🐻 market until proven otherwise.

We've had "bullish" market action recently but anyone who watches this stuff closely knows something isn't right...
3/15

Were we in a bull market in August? I say no, that was a bear market rally, ending in "pain" as Powell put it in his Jackson Hole speech.

Behold the similarities using $SQQQ. The headlines said new bull market then as well. How'd that work out?

$QQQ plan for tomorrow:

It's WRESBAL day(!) so this will be a longer multi-tweet 🧵

I've been charting some interesting correlation between WRESBAL and #stocks...
2/x

Just look at that correlation. Post market is almost right on the money aligned with the overlay. today we got the weekly data print from FRED (next slide) Image
3/x

Here's the $QQQ chart with today's WRESBAL data drawn in manually. 2nd image is to prove this the value for yesterday on FRED. ImageImage
