There is nothing new here. Our trades / profits have been extremely consistent over the last few days and I hope as many of you as possible have been able to take as many of the trades as possible.

I look forward to hearing more from you in our Discord Community 💬 - sorry I of all people can't find much time - I'm an incredibly busy person and spend about 10 - 14 hours every day doing actual market/asset analysis so you can (hopefully) enjoy some good trades and learn something in the process.

I'll do my best to be a bit more active as well. I'm also sorry I haven't exactly been quick to respond to private messages - I have a super full inbox - I'd have to take a couple hours to answer all your questions - anyway, thanks for each of your messages and I know many of them are actually just kind words - I really appreciate it.

⚡️ RAPID UPDATE 🔰
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) 💰
SL 🔑 @: 59147.90 (or wider)
TP ✅ @: 60883.70

We expect Bitcoin still rebounding due to the very positive risk sentiment.

However, the extremely robust US economic data caused the USD to jump higher (as well as yields) and also reduced expectations for Fed rate cuts for 2024. We set an in-profit SL here and potentially can find a better re-entry again (we see support at the $58K level for BTC at the moment).

You can also work with a wider SL and just hold for a bit longer.

This is pure money printing. We secure huge profits again in a few minutes with our Nasdaq re-entry. After closing our Nasdaq perfectly (then came a mini dip) and re-entering perfectly - we are now securing big profits again.

Sorry, a bit late - my TP already triggered - you can set your SL a bit further - we want to close as high as possible here. We expect the Nasdaq to remain bullish and can also buy dips.

🔰 NYSE OPENING UPDATE 🕯

🔰 FREE VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY WHEN NYSE OPENED🔼 Costco Wholesale (COST) 🇺🇸

🔰 VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY AFTER* NYSE OPENED🔼 (VIP ONLY) 🇺🇸

🔹 Nasdaq (+1.3%); Dow Jones (+ 1.1%) are significantly up but have further room to rise with US data being perfect and no longer pointing to an US economy potentially moving into recession. US retail sales came in at an impressive 1% (MoM) vs. +0.4% expected. Also the labor market is no longer showing the rapid decline. In combination with Fed friendly inflation data ... the perfect mix. We can set our TP for Nasdaq 100 at ✅ 19289.90. Our position is already very deep in profit and we are also LONG in the Dow Jones (also already more than 50 points in profit). The only thing weighing on Wall Street are the much higher yields and stronger USD.


► Strong retail sales and a very strong earnings report from Walmart - massive tailwind for the retail sector. We are going LONG in Costco, which is up 1.2% (matching the Nasdaq). Amazon is already up 3% pre-market (has further upside potential) and Walmart is up almost 9% (!). I generally prefer Walmart to Costco as I think Walmart has a better valuation as it has much higher sales and also a slightly better dividend. However, Costco has room to rise further today - and has outperformed Walmart in terms of growth in recent quarters. Costco's recent membership fee increase will also likely boost the retail giant's guidance and could ultimately lead to a slight dividend increase. We enter Costco at $870-$874 (as low as possible) and expect further gains.

► We also want to trade a US bank. I like the tailwind that Goldman Sachs is getting here, but the investment bank has already enjoyed a very strong recovery. We are therefore betting on (VIP ONLY) here, which is still well below its July highs. We think (VIP ONLY) is likely to open at around (VIP ONLY). We want to find a good entry point and buy on the first small dip after the open - ideally at around (VIP ONLY)*. I see significant gains ahead as the strong US economic data tends to point to slow rate cuts and also robust demand for financial, trading and investment services.

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trading size by ~ 50 - 60 (5,000% - 6,000%) trading Costco (COST).

🗣️ Tip: (VIP ONLY) ...

❗️US retail sales come up strongly above expectations

US retail sales accelerated in July by significantly more than analysts' expectations in a broad advance that points to a very resilient US consumer, even in the face of high prices and borrowing costs, as well as a softening in the labor market (which, however, also shows no less signs of a decline with initial jobless claims coming in below expectations).

Retail sales (MoM) | actual +1.0% | vs. estimate +0.4%
Sales ex. autos, gas (MoM) | actual +0.4% | vs. estimate +0.2%
‘Control group’ sales (MoM) | actual +0.3%| vs. estimate +0.1%

Also Walmart's very strong earnings report - which we correctly already understood as a strong sign of strong retail sales helps to further boost market sentiment.

We also see a much stronger USD now as the market doesn't seem to need the rate cuts as urgently as thought a few weeks ago. We anticipated also the stronger USD earlier this week - but the market expected different data (we were correct but too much ahead of the markets).

📊 SmartTrader Insights: Thursday Markets Wrap 🗒

📆 Thursday, August 15

❗️ Global stocks edge higher after more signs of falling US inflation & solid CN retail sales. Focus shifts to US retail sales

► European stocks posted modest gains today, with the Stoxx 600 Index rising 0.2%. Shares of Bavarian Nordic surged by 17% after the World Health Organization declared a global public health emergency due to a fast-spreading Mpox outbreak. Meanwhile, miners were the worst-performing sector amid growing concerns about China's steel industry. China's retail sales data, however, came in slightly better-than-expectations. The UK’s GDP expanded by 0.9% YoY in Q2 (in-line with expectations), and the trade deficit decreased to £5.32B in June, providing a slight economic boost.

► U.S. equity futures pointed to a positive open following a five-day winning streak for the S&P 500, fueled by benign inflation data. US inflation data showed year-on-year core consumer prices in July rose at the slowest pace since 2021, paving the way for an anticipated start to Fed easing in September. Traders are pricing in around 33 basis-point reduction (meaning the majority now expected a cut of 25 bps not 50 bps) and a bit more than 100 basis points of cuts through year-end. Investors are focused on upcoming reports for initial jobless claims, retail sales, and earnings from Walmart, which are expected to provide insights into the health of the American consumer.

► Asian markets advanced, driven by strong economic data from Japan and mixed reports from China. Japan’s economy grew faster than expected in Q2, pushing the Nikkei 225 Index up by 0.75%. In China, the Shanghai Composite rose by 0.66% as retail sales exceeded expectations, though industrial production and fixed-asset investment figures were weaker than forecast. China’s property sector continued to struggle, with new home prices seeing the steepest decline since 2015, contributing to concerns about the broader economy.

► In commodities, oil prices remained unchanged after yesterday's slide trading at slightly above $76/barrel (spot-price; $77.3 Sep'24). Prices will continue to be affected by discussions around a possible cease-fire in the Middle East. Gold prices edged higher, trading at around $2,455/oz after two consecutive days of declines.

Nasdaq (NAS100 / US100) 🇺🇸
TP triggered ✅ @: 19112.70

Our Nasdaq position hit our TP overnight/during the Asian session (almost triggered our tight SL before that), also supported by solid markets in Japan and China (a rarity lately) after solid economic data - including better than expected Chinese retail sales.

The Nasdaq is now trading at ~19050 again. After Chinese retail sales, the focus now turns to US retail sales (12:30 UTC+0). Jobless claims (same time) will also be closely watched after last week's surprisingly robust data. I expect the positive market sentiment to continue. Wall Street is already above August 2 levels, which means US equities have fully recovered from the recent crash.

Congratulations - another strong stock/index trade!

Not a day of huge profits - but overall still a very successful and carefully traded trading day. Yet AGAIN the day (US session) started with a nice Eli Lilly profit 📸 - possibly even a very big gain if you set the TP a little later and closed above 925+. Other than that, we traded the sideways market well - especially again with indices and stocks (good dip buy with GOOGL).

We traded today's difficult to trade sideways market well - we did not overtrade (we set a good SL for our out-of-the-money gold trade) and can now secure nice profits with our re-entry into the Nasdaq. All three major US indices closed higher. We set our TP near the 14-day high and set an in-profit SL.

BUY NOW 🔼 Bitcoin (BTC/USD) 💰
⚠️ HIGH volatility; Increased risk / do not trade large
TP ✅ @: (VIP ONLY)

► We see some "disappointment" after the CPI data - which is especially visible in monetary policy sensitive assets like gold, but also in Bitcoin. We buy the dip in bitcoin here to 59,000 and see enough buying of bitcoin below $60,000 to buy this dip.

► Risk sentiment, which is also important for Bitcoin, remains positive as Wall Street has fully recovered after light selling in early US trading. Our Nasdaq 100 already closed in the TP (now at 19050).

► Bitcoin rose slightly immediately after the CPI data, similar to gold, but has since fallen (in tandem with gold).

► We continue to see a weaker USD (DXY still at -0.1 %). Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain volatile of course, but we see solid buying interest/support, especially in the $58,000 - $59,000 range.

🗣️ Tip: You can multiply your trade size by ~ 0.3 - 0.6 (30% - 60%) trading Bitcoin (BTC/USD).

It was obviously another absolutely fantastic day. We traded the equity markets extremely well (with indices - even gaining more points than the actual move). It would have been nice to have a LONG position in the USD, but you can't have everything - however, it's good that our expectations/forecasts were correct once again. However, it is important not only to be right, but also to understand the market as a trader/analyst (you can't buy anything by being right but losing money on it).

Congratulations again 🎆 to everyone in the community on the truly breathtaking profits we have made over the last few days/weeks and especially today. We're likely trading indices better than anyone else out there at the moment - we do this together 🤝!

PS: The markets were a bit volatile today - I was sometimes 2-3 minutes late - but that shouldn't have a big impact - in some cases it was actually good - like the Nasdaq which I closed at 19064.30, but almost all of you 130+ points higher. I closed my last Dow Jones at 40623.40 - for most of you it probably ended in SL (still in profit). But once again - absolutely fantastic trading. I also added the GOOGL trade from yesterday - since Steven from 🇨🇦 (CA - Community) asked for it.

Yours Robert.

⚡️ FREE RAPID SIGNAL 🕯
BUY NOW 🔼 Goldman Sachs (GS) 🇺🇸

► We buy GS just before the close on the NYSE at a flat/slightly negative level (498.00 - 498.50).

► I see the investment bank well supported by Wall Street's strong performance today, especially as the investment banking giant has focused more on actual investment banking and trading - which is certainly supported by further signs of a robust economy that can drive Wall Street back towards all-time highs after the recent sharp selloff.

► Much of GS's solid growth was due to a 21% y-o-y increase in investment banking fees to $1.73 billion - which interestingly is well below the 50%+ increase reported by JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. I see more upside potential in Goldman Sachs' core business.

► Goldman Sachs has strong deal flow, which is critical to the investment bank's sustainable growth, and has also reported a very solid second quarter performance - as well as an impressive 9% dividend increase this year, which enhances shareholder value.

► It makes little sense for Goldman Sachs to close virtually unchanged today - we expect GS to quickly rise back into the $503 - $505 range.

🗣️ Tipp: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 100 - 110 (10,000% - 11,000%) trading Goldman Sachs (GS).

🔰 FREE VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY NOW 🔼 Dow Jones (US30) 🇺🇸

► We set the absolute perfect TP for our Dow Jones position - which was triggered - then the Dow Jones fell back to 40500 (and slightly below). We are going LONG again here as we see little reason why Wall Street should not recover from the recent sell-off triggered by recession worries.

► The latest data showed that the US consumer remains very strong: retail sales were well above expectations. Jobless claims fell to their lowest level since early July, further reinforcing signs of a robust US economy.

► We are seeing significantly improved, even optimistic market sentiment, with demand for bonds also falling. Swap traders reduced expectations of sharp rate cuts by the Fed in 2024, which is certainly creating some headwinds for interest rate-sensitive equities. However, this week's inflation data showed that the disinflation trend remains intact - so we have seen that the US data is actually perfect. It now appears once again that the Fed will be very well timed when it starts to cut interest rates again next month.

► In addition, Walmart's strong profits have further reinforced the picture that Americans are continuing to consume strongly.

► We remain LONG in the Dow Jones and are buying the current mini-dip.

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 3 - 4 (300% - 400%) and trade the Dow Jones (US30)

⚡️ RAPID UPDATE 🔰
Dow Jones (US30) 🇺🇸
SL 🔑 @: 40434.30
TP ✅ @: 40564.30

We see the Nasdaq now wavering at 19400 - 19425 (or a bit more than 2% higher for today). I see more % upside from here for the Dow Jones. I still see the Nasdaq bullish.

But we still secure profits now and set our TP at session highs. We may find a re-entry at 40400 in case our SL is triggered.

We have now made absurd, almost obscene profits trading indices LONG - please share some of your massive profits with people in need. The profits we made today in a very short time - are money for weeks even months for most people - we stay humble and 100% focused.

Nasdaq (NAS100 / US100) 🇺🇸
TP triggered ✅ @: 19388.90

(I went back in after the short dip / you don't see a SL there - I recommend to always work with a SL)

We will buy the next dip (potentially near 19350).

► We will likely make a fortune today. Our Nasdaq 100 has already triggered our TP ✅ 19289.90 for a big profit - and then dropped a bit. We can re-enter here at ~19250.

► We will continue to see gains in New York. The Nasdaq is feeling some headwinds from the much higher yields - but the US economic data is just too perfect to trigger any real profit taking here.

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 5 - 7 (500% - 700%) when trading the Nasdaq (NAS100).

⚡️ LIVE TRADING SIGNAL 🕯
BUY NOW 🔼 Dow Jones (US30) 🇺🇸

⚠️ LIVE TRADING ONLY VIP CHANNEL

► Our Nasdaq is already very deep in the money. The US data was perfect and will bring even more gains for equities. The overall picture this week - with inflation data pointing to a move closer to the Fed's 2% target while the US consumer remains robust - and also signs of a rapidly contracting labor market are no longer so clear.

► All the recent losses in New York have been triggered by fears that the Fed is cutting rates too slowly and that a recession may be imminent. Now we have seen another set of perfect economic data that no longer confirms this. We will see significant gains, partly because Walmart was so convincing.

► In addition to our Nasdaq 100 LONG, we can also go LONG on the more defensive Dow Jones. We will see gains today. The Dow Jones is currently at 40350 - 40400. It still has a lot of upside potential (well above 40500).

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 3 - 4 (300% - 400%) and trade the Dow Jones (US30)

⚠️ LIVE TRADING ONLY VIP CHANNEL

► Our position closed in profit - if you are still in - stay LONG.

► Retail sales have been very strong. Unemployment claims are also robust and show a strong US economy. The data is ideal - with the only exception being that expectations of interest rate cuts are now likely to decline slightly, as the labor market no longer points to rapid easing either. What is more important here is that the recession worries are disappearing.

► Good data is good for stocks/Wall Street again, as rate cuts are expected anyway (especially after this week's positive inflation reports). We want to stay LONG. We find an entry point as low as possible.

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 5 - 7 (500% - 700%) when trading the Nasdaq (NAS100).

🔰 FREE VIP SIGNAL 🕯
BUY NOW 🔼 Nasdaq (NAS100 / US100) 🇺🇸

► We buy the mini-dip in New York (from higher pre-market levels) and ahead of US retail data.

► Walmart raised its forecast for the year as quarterly sales rose nearly 5%, the company's stores and website attracted more traffic, and sales outside the grocery department increased - which is a good sign - as grocery sales generally remain stable even in a recession. This is a sign of robust retail sales, with Walmart being the largest retailer in the US (even globally). The discount retailer has beaten Wall Street expectations on sales and earnings, trading more than 6% higher in pre-market.

► While Walmart is not in the Nasdaq 100, it will support growth-sensitive stocks. The Nasdaq 100 also has more room to recover from recent losses. We can find an entry point now (19025 - 19045 area) or almost 100 points below the high of the day.

► I do not expect a negative surprise in US retail sales. The inflation reports (Producer Price Index on Tuesday, Consumer Price Index yesterday) have largely allayed concerns about stubborn inflation that could lead to the Fed remaining too conservative in rate cuts.

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 5 - 7 (500% - 700%) when trading the Nasdaq (NAS100).

📊 SmartTrader Insights: Thursday Markets Wrap 🗒

📆 Thursday, August 15

❗️ Global stocks edge higher after more signs of falling US inflation & solid CN retail sales. Focus shifts to US retail sales

► European stocks posted modest gains today, with the Stoxx 600 Index rising 0.2%. Shares of Bavarian Nordic surged by 17% after the World Health Organization declared a global public health emergency due to a fast-spreading Mpox outbreak. Meanwhile, miners were the worst-performing sector amid growing concerns about China's steel industry. China's retail sales data, however, came in slightly better-than-expectations. The UK’s GDP expanded by 0.9% YoY in Q2 (in-line with expectations), and the trade deficit decreased to £5.32B in June, providing a slight economic boost.

► U.S. equity futures pointed to a positive open following a five-day winning streak for the S&P 500, fueled by benign inflation data. US inflation data showed year-on-year core consumer prices in July rose at the slowest pace since 2021, paving the way for an anticipated start to Fed easing in September. Traders are pricing in around 33 basis-point reduction (meaning the majority now expected a cut of 25 bps not 50 bps) and a bit more than 100 basis points of cuts through year-end. Investors are focused on upcoming reports for initial jobless claims, retail sales, and earnings from Walmart, which are expected to provide insights into the health of the American consumer.

► Asian markets advanced, driven by strong economic data from Japan and mixed reports from China. Japan’s economy grew faster than expected in Q2, pushing the Nikkei 225 Index up by 0.75%. In China, the Shanghai Composite rose by 0.66% as retail sales exceeded expectations, though industrial production and fixed-asset investment figures were weaker than forecast. China’s property sector continued to struggle, with new home prices seeing the steepest decline since 2015, contributing to concerns about the broader economy.

► In commodities, oil prices remained unchanged after yesterday's slide trading at slightly above $76/barrel (spot-price; $77.3 Sep'24). Prices will continue to be affected by discussions around a possible cease-fire in the Middle East. Gold prices edged higher, trading at around $2,455/oz after two consecutive days of declines.

Our EUR/USD closed out of the money today after the pair extended yesterday's gains and also saw technical buying above 1.10000. Unfortunately, this also ended our 15-fold forex winning streak (or 14-fold as the EUR/USD was placed ahead of the successful AUD/JPY). Unfortunately, our 14-fold gold winning streak also ended today - congratulations again on these very impressive winning streaks, especially given the recent chaotic markets.

The USD closes the day unchanged. Otherwise, nothing new - although our WTI position reached the TP (if you were still SHORT).

⚡️ LIGHTNING-RAPID UPDATE 🔰
Alphabet (GOOGL) 🇺🇸
CLOSE NOW ✅ @: 160.25+
OR
SL 🔑 @: 159.99
TP ✅ @: 160.37

We are closing Alphabet here with a nice profit. We have found a good entry point - not perfect, but our position is very well in the money. Alphabet rallied back to 160.00 before another bout of light profit taking. There are some headwinds for Alphabet, including some institutional selling, but also news that the US Department of Justice is considering breaking up Google on the basis that the tech giant has used illegal monopolistic business practices such as exclusive search engine contracts with leading smartphone makers (who use Android). The Justice Department is also said to be pushing for a spin-off of AdWords (now called Google Ads), Google's ad sales platform. I think this is all very unlikely to actually happen, but news detailing this could lead to additional selling in the short term. We close with a solid profit here. We are still LONG in the Nasdaq 100 and are reducing our overall LONG position in a sideways market.

Update - Google is already at $160.35 - (my position has reached the TP at 159.87) - you can close significantly better.

⚡️ FREE RAPID TRADING SIGNAL 🔰
BUY NOW 🔼 Nasdaq (NAS100 / US100) 🇺🇸

► The Nasdaq rose again and even reached a new (almost) 14-day high, showing that CPI may not be what the market would have liked to see, especially after yesterday's PPI data, which pointed to a sharper decline in inflation but at least confirmed the recent trend of disinflation. If the CPI data had been released first (i.e. before the PPI data - which is usually the case), we would have seen a sharp rise - but it is the combination of yesterday's much cooler-than-expected PPI reading and today's broadly in line CPI figure that is leading to this current sideways movement / or caution. Investors now focus on tomorrow's US retail sales data.

► In short, the CPI is certainly not perfect and shows very slow disinflation, but the data is good enough and in line with the recent disinflation trend which shows consumer price inflation moving back towards the Fed's 2% target.

► We are therefore buying the current dip (to now below 18950) and also see that risk sentiment remains positive. We also see the gains from tech moving into other sectors - improving market breadth - which is generally a positive sign.

► Our position in GOOGL is now clearly in profit - we remain LONG - we can set an in-profit SL.

🗣️ Tip: Multiply your usual trade size by ~ 5 - 7 (500% - 700%) when trading the Nasdaq (NAS100).
