JP MORGAN: Expect bullish continuation $225.JP Morgan may be almost overbought on its 1M technical outlook (RSI = 69.738, MACD = 14.790, ADX = 37.379) but as you can see on this chart, this is when the stock tends to make a bullish extension instead of a correction. Especially since the 12 year pattern is a Channel Up and is currently on its fourth Bullish Wave of the structure. All prior bullish sequences have been over +124%, so we have a similar extension target (TP = 225.00) before any medium term correction takes place.

JP MORGAN -15% correction very likely.JP Morgan Chase (JPM) has been trading within a Channel Up since the October 12 2022 market bottom. Friday's high is technically at the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of that Channel Up. The 1D RSI sequence is similar to the one that led March 06 2023 High and subsequent correction.
As you can see, every Higher High rejection (two so far on that pattern) has corrected by around -15%. As a result, we expect a minimum pull-back, below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and towards the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) of -14.77%, giving us a target of 173.00. That would be exactly on the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level of the last Higher Low of the Channel Up, similar to March 23 2023.

JPM Cup and HandleCurrently, my eyes are focused on couple of stocks with good potential and positive fundamentals following them. The one I am watching for quite some time now is JPM, JP Morgan, one the biggest US banks.
JPM with $3.7 trillion in assets at this moment, is the largest US bank, and it has a full 16.3% of the total assets held by all the US commercial banks. This graph provided by Barrons shows how big the JPM truly is.

What to consider in this stock:
1. Due to possibility of additional bank collapse in the US, price may fluctuate more than usual. Always make sure to have an exit point, especially in turmoil times like we are having at the moment.
2. Currently, chart is showing us a potential Cup and Handle formation in making. The Daily level is the one I am focused on at the moment.
3. Some potential price levels I am currently looking: I wouldn't consider buying the stock if it drops bellow the $131.75 level, which was the last support the price of the stock had.
4. Potential buy point, which will be my safe entry zone will be at break of the last resistance zone sitting at $141.10 price level.
5. If the scenario goes as planned, my potential price limit for Take Profit levels will be based on the current moves by the overall market and the stock itself, meaning, I will not have a price range with the TP level. I will just follow along.
6. Most important, my Stop Loss levels will be firmly set to $131.5 price level, sitting just under the 50SMA line and the last wick of the candle which dipped bellow the line itself.
As always, I am not financial advisor. I am investor who is putting his money on the markets. Please make sure to do your due diligence and see if this potential scenario will suit your investor needs.

JP Morgan Short off All Time HighWith the stock market making new All Time Highs fresh new opportunities for contrarian trades are going to be somewhat scarce. Thanks to a viewer on my Livestream (every Friday on Tradingview: 4pm EST UTC-5) I was made aware of a short setup I like on NYSE:JPM
Context
This price action is happening at a test of the past ATH set in November 2021. Last week the Earnings announcement pushed price intraday above the high only to close well below the key Resistance level of the former ATH. This is a false breakout signal or as I like to identify them as: Spikes.
The Spike
The Spike occurred on Earnings. I have found that false breakouts on earnings have a very high probability of signaling a reversal. The significance value (135% ATR) is within my rules. It took until the following week for price to actually pull back to the proper entry point of the Spike bar's Tenkan Sen value at 172.48. What these factors mean I go over during my Livestream.
The Trade
How I am expressing this trade is in a combination of short shares and Puts.
In choosing my Put strike I look for where I see price going as a target via technical analysis. In this case it would be the 50% Retracement of the bullish trend around 155.
For expiration I consider the prior bullish trend that got price up to the high I am reading as a false breakout to enter. I project the time that trend took, add an additional month as a time buffer, and then typically take that expiration. Unfortunately, an option expiring in March as this technique would suggest puts the expiration too close and just before earnings.
A note about options and earnings: In the 4 weeks prior to earnings very typically a stock's options will experience a rise in IV (implied volatility). This rise in IV and the Greek Vega can increase the prices of all options often offsetting the value lost to theta time decay. This is a very advantageous condition if a trader is long single options. Therefor, I chose the April expirations to give myself the potential for the IV push. I will likely close the options the day before earnings regardless of where price may be. Options are a coin flip.
What Too Big to FAIL Look Like? JPMThis chart was originally looking at GANN angles for JPM. Keep in mind this is not scaled- primarily to show the graphics better, but also suggests the volatility is native to the price action when it is scaled. JPM is the largest bank in the US. As far as I can see the top was reached 2 yrs ago during CV19 height. The new paradigm is a down wave. There is already a hint of an additional bearish pattern forming. This harmonic is a shark pattern, but they have a tendency after the C wave to turn down and sometimes very harshly (just the nature of the harmonic). They can be bearish or bullish, but only after the entire bearish embedded harmonic sentiment has ran their course. Note this same type of pattern in Bitcoin (slightly different but the same). How far down?? Leave your comment below.
The FED is printing money at an unstoppable rate and has been doing so. Inflation is rising not just nationally but Globally. Sure we do get the hints of better days, but they are short lived. I think this is primarily because there wasn't as harsh of an economic impact during COVID. Now that the pandemic is subsiding some (still not gone), the money printer is being over worked to a point where it may not be able to do much at all. Large companies are laying off (reminiscent of pre COVID days). There are other indicators as well in the DOW and NYSE to further support something BIG is bound to happen THIS YEAR and within the next 30-90 days which could further last well into the next few years. How bad will it get??? I am only providing the acronyms as they relate to the different levels. Keep in mind we are still in an overall bearish cycle and these small pumps we get are the hints of the money injections attempting to revive things. Banks are teetering and a few have failed. NOTE: There are banks out there in worst condition than the ones that were bailed out. What happens to them? It has already been noted that there is not enough FDIC insurance to cover everyone so when PANIC sets in it just doesn't look good. I hope this is all wrong, because if it is not May God have Mercy on the souls of the many across this Nation and the Globe. I am also looking at crypto markets taking a dive as well, but maybe not as bad as the traditional markets which more people are exposed to. Once the PANIC level is reached I think its going to get ugly very quickly. It may happen sooner than later. Stay vigilant!

$JPM Bear Flag at All Time HighNYSE:JPM Bear Flag at All Time High. A bear flag is a technical analysis pattern that typically occurs after a significant downward price movement. It is identified by a rectangular-shaped consolidation, resembling a flag, that slopes against the prevailing trend. The flagpole represents the initial sharp decline, followed by a period of consolidation forming the flag. Traders often interpret the bear flag as a potential continuation pattern, suggesting that the previous downtrend may resume after the consolidation period, leading to further price declines.
JPMorgan's 4Q 2023: Navigating Challenges Amidst Resilience
In the intricate dance of finance, JPMorgan's fourth-quarter 2023 results unveil a narrative of resilience, strategic prowess, and a cautious gaze toward potential headwinds. As the behemoth financial institution reported adjusted earnings of $3.97 per share, surpassing expectations, CEO Jamie Dimon's reflections on the U.S. economy's resilience and his cautionary notes create a backdrop for a compelling analysis.
The Triumphs:
JPMorgan's stellar performance was propelled by a trio of factors – higher interest rates, the transformative First Republic Bank deal, and a moderate improvement in the Investment Banking (IB) segment. The adjusted earnings of $3.97 per share handily outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate, revealing a financial powerhouse that knows how to navigate challenges.
Strategic Moves:
The strategic landscape unfolded with notable achievements. The First Republic Bank deal and higher interest rates were pivotal in supporting Net Interest Income (NII), projected to hit $90 billion in the coming year. Commercial Banking witnessed a surge in average loan balances, while the IB business exhibited a commendable 13% increase in total fees. JPMorgan's calculated market moves showcased its ability to harness opportunities even in a dynamic environment.
Economic Caution and Global Uncertainties:
However, amidst the triumphs, Jamie Dimon's cautionary remarks echo the realities of the broader economic landscape. Stickier inflation and the geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East pose potential threats, emphasizing the need for a vigilant approach. JPMorgan's acknowledgement of these challenges underscores the delicate balance the institution maintains in navigating global uncertainties.
Challenges and Concerns:
The financial tale is not devoid of challenges. Operating expenses witnessed an uptick, with adjusted non-interest expenses expected to hover around $90 billion. Net income, though robust in most segments, declined by 15%, raising eyebrows amid projections of a potential economic slowdown and reduced loan demand.
Financial Metrics Unveiled:
The financial metrics paint a comprehensive picture. Net revenues surged by 12% to $38.57 billion, yet fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. NII witnessed a commendable 19% YoY increase to $24.05 billion, fueled by higher rates and revolving balances in Card Services. Non-interest income grew by a modest 1%, but non-interest expenses surged by 29%, partly due to the FDIC special assessment charge and rising compensation expenses.
USD/JPY Approaches 141.30, Extending Two-Day Decline USD/JPY continues its downward trend for the second consecutive session, trading below the 141.30 level during the Asian hours on Thursday. Improved trade data from Japan in November has exerted pressure on the currency pair. However, less optimistic remarks from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda may weigh on the Japanese Yen.
From a technical standpoint, the spot price indicates potential recovery below the 142.00 level and appears to have broken the two-day decline. This suggests that breaking below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is crucial support for bearish traders. Furthermore, oscillators on the daily chart remain deeply in negative territory, indicating limited resistance for USD/JPY on the downside. Any subsequent upward movement may still be viewed as a selling opportunity and is likely to be capped around the 142.75 level (200-day SMA). This implies that further buying activity leading to a move beyond the 143.00 level could trigger short-covering actions, allowing the bullish camp to reclaim the 144.00 milestone.
On the flip side, weakness below the Asian session's lowest levels around the 141.90-141.85 region would reaffirm the short-term trend and make USD/JPY susceptible to retesting below the 141.00 level, or the multi-month lows touched last week. Subsequent declines could potentially pull the spot price towards the intermediate support at 140.45 on the way to the psychological level of 140.00.
JP MORGAN Approaching the ideal sell level.JP Morgan Chase (JPM) has been trading within a Channel Up pattern since the October 12 2022 market bottom. Currently it is on a relentless rally since the October 27 2023 Higher Low, which is technically the Bullish Leg towards the Channel's top and new Higher High.
The peak points of the previous two main Bullish Legs of the Channel Up, took place when the 1D RSI formed Lower Highs against the price's Higher Highs, which is a technical Bearish Divergence. Since the price is currently so close to the top of the Channel Up, we will wait for the RSI to form that Lower High sequence and enter a confirmed sell. Our target will be 163.00, which is a projected contact with the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and the 0.382 Fibonacci Channel level, which has always been reached during Bearish Legs.

Japanese Yen Weakens on Soft Inflation, BoJ Policy UncertaintyThe Japanese Yen (JPY) faced a decline after softer domestic consumer inflation data, raising uncertainties about the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) potential policy tightening. BoJ's October meeting minutes revealed a consensus to maintain the accommodative policy, contributing to JPY weakness. The USD/JPY pair saw a modest recovery from weekly lows, supported by the USD's modest strength.
Japan's core CPI remains at 2% for the 20th consecutive month, and optimism about future wage growth suggests a potential shift in BoJ's stance. However, the market anticipates a more positive U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) policy easing in 2024, influenced by the U.S. Q3 GDP report. Investors are now watching the U.S. Core PCE Price Index for further guidance on USD/JPY short-term direction. Despite this, the fundamental outlook leans towards JPY strength, indicating a downside bias for the currency pair.
Japanese Yen Retreats on Soft Inflation, USD StrengthensFrom a technical standpoint, spot prices indicate a potential rebound below the 142.00 level, seemingly breaking the two-day downtrend. This suggests that the overnight break back below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is crucial support for bearish traders. Furthermore, oscillators on the daily chart remain firmly in negative territory, indicating minimal resistance for the USD/JPY pair on the downside. Therefore, any subsequent upward move may still be considered a selling opportunity and remains capped near the 142.75 level (200-day SMA). This implies that further buying activity, leading to a move beyond the 143.00 mark, could trigger short-covering actions and allow the bullish camp to reclaim the round figure of 144.00 in the short term.
On the flip side, weakness below the intraday low around the 141.90-141.85 region would reaffirm the short-term trend, making the USD/JPY pair vulnerable to a retest of the sub-141.00 level or the multi-month lows touched last week. The subsequent decline could potentially drive spot prices towards intermediate support at 140.45 on the way to the psychological milestone of 140.00.
JP MORGAN: Can extend this rise to the top of the Channel UpJPM may be overbought on the 1D technical outlook (RSI = 82.199, MACD = 3.72, ADX = 70.645) but is extending the bullish leg of the 14 month Channel Up. It sits comfortably over its middle and calls for an extension. We will enter on the closing of the first red 1D candle and target the 1.618 Fibonacci extension (TP = 174.00), which was the December 1st 2022 HH.

"USD/JPY: Japanese Yen Halts Decline, Eyes US CPI Data"The Japanese Yen regained positive momentum in the Asian trading session on Tuesday. USD/JPY partially eroded some of the strong recovery seen in the past two days. Investors are awaiting the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for fresh impetus ahead of the FOMC meeting on Wednesday.
From a technical standpoint, USD/JPY showed a certain degree of recovery last week at the crucial 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The subsequent move exceeded the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline from the vicinity of 152.00, or the YTD high, supporting bullish sentiments. However, the sharp rise during the day halted near the 200-hour SMA, now closing around the 146.50 level. This area will now play a crucial pivot point, and clearing it would allow the price to test the 50% Fibonacci level, around 146.80, and reclaim the 147.00 milestone.
Meanwhile, oscillators on the daily chart are deep in positive territory, supporting the potential for some upward action at higher levels. This suggests that the resistance at the 100-hour SMA, around 145.85, may now act to defend the downside just ahead of the psychological level of 145.00. Further selling pressure could push USD/JPY back towards the intermediate support zone of 144.55-144.50 on the way to the 144.00 mark. A convincing break below this level would be considered a strong bearish catalyst, paving the way for deeper losses.
On the other hand, the Japanese Yen (JPY) extends its downward trend for the second consecutive day, pushing the USD/JPY pair towards the 146.00 level during the European trading session on Monday. A report on Friday suggested that comments from Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda last week were misunderstood, and the central bank will maintain the status quo until positive wage inflation begins. This comes alongside weaker-than-expected GDP reports from Japan, indicating the domestic economy remains fragile and expectations of imminent rate hikes may be inflated.
Conversely, the US Dollar (USD) attracts some renewed buying interest after betting on an early Federal Reserve (Fed) policy easing was scaled back, proving to be another supportive factor for the USD/JPY exchange rate. Friday's closely watched US employment figures showed a rapid growth pace in November, with the unemployment rate dropping to 3.7%. This indicates signs of underlying strength in the labor market and suggests that current market pricing for a rate cut in March 2024 may be premature.
The recent sharp upward move seen around the USD/JPY pair in the past hour may be attributed to some technical buying based on sustained strength beyond the 100-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA). This suggests that concerns about a deeper global economic downturn and geopolitical risks may limit losses for the safe-haven JPY and restrict any further upside moves for the currency. Traders may also limit strong bets ahead of this week's significant event/data risks - US Consumer Price Index on Tuesday and the crucial FOMC policy decision on Wednesday."
USD/JPY Weakens on Fed Rate Cut Speculation and BoJ PivotThe Japanese Yen has surrendered recent gains against the US Dollar amidst speculation of a Fed rate cut in March and a shift in the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) policies. Despite a day-end recovery, USD/JPY experiences one of its worst trading days in over a year, dropping below 142.00 and closing just above 144.00.
Despite the intraday recovery, USD/JPY had one of its worst trading days in over a year, slipping below 140.00 in November last year. Throughout Thursday's trading session, USD/JPY transitioned from a slight decrease to a drop below the 200-day Simple Moving Average, requiring significant progress for a recovery towards the 147.00 handle. The 50-day SMA is currently positioned higher than the price action on Thursday, pushing towards the 114.90 region.
Expectations of a Fed rate cut weigh on the US Dollar
There is growing speculation that the Federal Reserve has concluded its rate hikes and will commence a rate cut in March, putting pressure on the US Dollar. In contrast, the Bank of Japan is expected to move away from extremely loose monetary policy in the coming months. This, coupled with risk aversion sentiment, offsets the safe-haven appeal of the Japanese Yen.
USD/JPY witnessed a more than 4% decline on Thursday, quickly dropping below 142.00 before larger markets staged a modest recovery, pulling the Japanese Yen (JPY) back into a reasonable price range. USD/JPY closed Thursday down by around 2%, while the Yen entered Friday's market session in the green for the week.
The Yen saw a broader market recovery following unconventional comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, unexpectedly hinting at the eventual end of BoJ's negative interest rate policy, possibly in the early part of next year.
"JPY Surges to Three-Month High Against USD"The Japanese Yen extended its robust upward momentum against the US Dollar on Friday and kicked off the new week with a positive sign, pulling the USD/JPY pair to a nearly three-week low around the 146.25-146.20 range during the Asian trading session. The US Dollar is attempting to recover from its lowest point in two and a half months at 146.65, supported by a slight rebound in US Treasury yields, which is exerting pressure on the Japanese Yen.
On Thursday, New York Fed President John Williams suggested that interest rates could reach their highest point, supporting this perspective. In this context, the analysis of Fed Chairman Powell's conference later today will be closely scrutinized to evaluate the central bank's next steps.
On the other hand, growing expectations that the Bank of Japan may move away from its extremely accommodative monetary policy by 2024 are providing some support for the JPY.
From a broader perspective, this currency pair maintains a downward trend from its mid-November high near 152.00, with a resistance level at 148.75 likely to limit the upward movement before the late November peak at 149.75. Support levels are identified at 147.77 and 146.65.
AVAX EXPLOSIVE Growth Potential - DAPP BuilderPlease Excuse the audio, I have a version on my Youtube with far better audio, for some reason, my computer won't let me select my Microphone. You can find our youtube link in our trading view bio
With the recent announcement by JP Morgan's ONYX regarding their stake in AVAX I thought this would be the perfect time to cover this Incredible asset.
In short ONYX is predicting that subnets ( individual blockchains that have been specifically designed to suit the needs of institutions. That means extra consideration has been given to network privacy, gas, ETC) will be extremely valuable to institutions in the near future and are betting big, since this announcement we have already seen over a 20% increase in price, but how much more can we actually run?
From a Technical side, we are at a huge inflection point, In the past when we have crossed the $18 region we have seen explosive growth, anywhere from 200% - 700%. Although it is highly dependent on bitcoin / ETF approval/ overall market, If we can maintain above this zone its only a matter of time before we fly to our first targets / Resistance points
Outlined here are a few important zones to watch
Resistance Point 1 .382 level: $24.00 ( Just rejected off this 12 hours ago)
Target 1 : - $ 26.60
Target 2 (Midterm Major Resistance/Support Zone): $61.86
Strong Resistance Zone : $93.50
Target 3/ Breakout Resistance Zone: $112.75
"USD/JPY Holds Near Yearly Highs, Trading Around 151.70"The USD/JPY pair regains positive momentum, partially reversing significant losses from the previous day, returning to the 150.15 zone, the week's lowest level. Intraday buying activity intensified after Japan's GDP print fell below expectations, pushing the spot price to new daily highs. The USD/JPY exchange rate fluctuates around 151.70 during the Asian trading session on Tuesday.
The USD/JPY pair maintains its yearly high and has the potential to surpass these levels if the U.S. Dollar (USD) successfully halts recent losses. However, the greenback is facing hurdles from the volatile yields of U.S. Treasury bonds. At the time of writing, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond hovers around 4.63%.
USD/JPY Recovers from Recent Losses, Hovers Around 150.50"USD/JPY rebounds from recent losses observed in the previous session following weaker-than-expected US inflation data. However, the pair trades slightly higher around 150.60 in Asian trading on Wednesday. The USD/JPY exchange rate fluctuates around 151.70 in Tuesday's Asian session. The pair holds near yearly highs and has the potential to surpass these levels if the US Dollar (USD) successfully mitigates recent losses. Nevertheless, the greenback faces challenges from volatile US bond yields, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering around 4.63% at the time of writing.
$ORGN Long Play. C02 Tax Credit PlayPotential Opportunity regarding the new Carbon Credit ESG Tax benefits.
As most of you probably know, new tax regulations are being rolled out that incentivize carbon emission neutrality and many companies are jumping on the opportunity. (See Jpmorgan Purchasing massive swathes of timber forest land)
Origin is the world's leading carbon negative materials company. Our mission is to enable the world’s transition to sustainable materials. Therefore this offers a unique opportunity to be able to cash in on the benefits of these new tax credits without breaking the bank by buying forest land.
Current Target Projections are listed in the illustration. I am keeping a fairly tight stop loss but this isn't necessary if you plan on holding longer term.
Japanese Yen Nears 33-Year Low Amid Powell's Rate Hike SignalThe Japanese yen faced rapid depreciation today, approaching levels not seen in 33 years, following signals from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell that interest rate hikes may continue amid concerns about persistent inflation. The yen traded at 151.44 against the US dollar, showing a slight 0.06% increase from the previous session.
On Thursday, Powell reiterated hawkish views on interest rates, challenging market expectations that had predicted rate cuts in 2024. His comments underscored doubts about achieving the Fed's 2% inflation target with the current policy framework, leading the market to reconsider the potential for rate cuts in mid-2024 from June to July.
This stance contributed to the yen's worst performance since August, with a monthly decline of 1.42%. The currency's notable slide over the past month hit a one-year low of 151.72 against the dollar on October 31 and is now approaching levels not seen since 151.96.
The sharp decline of the yen has drawn the attention of Japan's Ministry of Finance (MOF), raising growing concerns about the need for intervention in the currency market to stabilize the yen and minimize potential impacts on the Japanese economy. The MOF closely monitors these developments as currency exchange rates hover near a crucial level that previously prompted official action.
