Japan is Clearly Sweating This Level
The Dollar/Yen currency cross, below on the hourly timeframe, has actually been in a strong uptrend since the beginning of 2021. However, it was only in late-September of this year that the Bank of Japan began to truly panic over its currency's weakness, right around the same time as the U.K. faced its own issues with the pension funds. As the...

We'll See if Bulls Have a Marvelous Boxing Chin
It is often said that Marvelous Marvin Hagler has the best "chin" in boxing history, meaning it was uniquely different to connect on punches to the point where it knocked him down.

Next Stop in Doubt
The NFLX and ISRG earnings rallies today are being countered by continued strength in the U.S. Dollar as well as rates pushing higher yet above 4% on the 10-Year Note.

The Oil Circus Rolls On
"Don't blame a clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus."
