We Got A Stuffy Nose With Our Lossing Short NASDAQ:NDX – In The Meantime,
The Sentiment Has Changed, That`s Why Long NASDAQ:TSLA 4XSetUp Back Again

Basic Infos For This Week – About The Currently Financial Market Proce Action – And/Or Our New (Old) 4XSetUps

“Things have been getting out of hand since the financial crisis at the latest, and now we are getting the acknowledgment: first interest rates were abolished and the Fed in particular printed massive amounts of money to combat the alleged deflation, then Corona and the Ukraine war showed the problems in the system up with the sharp increase in inflation. The Fed and Co reacted to this much too late, but then violently with a rapid rise in interest rates. This in turn is also not without consequences: the bonds in the banks’ custody accounts are losing value, at the same time the rise in interest rates with the money market created strong competition for banks, which triggered the banking crisis in the USA through outflows of funds. Now criticism of the Fed is growing in the USA – above all, we now have a Fed crisis! What to do?”, Markus Fugmann (co-founder of the information website finanzmarktwelt.de) asked himself last Friday, March 24, 2023 in one of his two german-language Video analyses, which he presents daily. I enjoy listening to his analyzes – and not just because we usually come to the same conclusion more often than we would like when we look in the rear-view mirror. But looking ahead – so what to do? – that’s where we differ, like most financial market participants, of course. Nevertheless, regardless of his future prospects, I would like to go back again this week in terms of the number of 4XSetUps – and draw from the full! Because I don’t think we will experience a financial market crisis in 2023 like we did in 2008! Also not like during the Corona virus outbreak! But I fear we will be dealing with stagflation in our west for longer than we would like! And an interest rate cut in the USA for this year 2023 is out of the question. Which is what FED Chair Man Powel sees, if I haven’t misremembered his statements. Even though many in Chicago are already speculating that the FED will cut interest rates again in 2023! I personally don’t think so! I would like to make that very clear at this point, this week! Possibly another rate hike in May 2023!? And then that was probably it?! That`s why I pay more attention to the current daily US Yield Curve than the US CME FedWatch Tool.

However, I think the FED did its job!
And 14 to 15 years after the fall of the Lehman Brothers Bank in 2008, it was publicly formulated in such a way that everyone involved now knows it!
Even US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen once again expressed her calm about the banking situation. In her fourth speech this week, she assured on Thursday that the banking system is sound. The US bank regulator and the Treasury Department are ready to take on comprehensive deposit insurance for other banks, as they did with the failed Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. “These are tools that we could reintroduce to an institution of any size if we concluded that its failure would pose a risk of contagion,” she said at a hearing of the U.S. House Budget Subcommittee.

Meanwhile, the difference between current US inflation and the current US interest rate is the lowest it has been since US stagflation broke out in July 2021, and/or since Biden is in the White House. Because I`m too of the opinion that the FED is not the problem but rather the solution! Rather, it is the disastrous left-wing green policy of the Christian Democrat Joe Biden, who counteracts the economic policy of his predecessor Trump almost with biblical Cainic wrath! And what does Trump do? He still doesn’t want to and/or can’t admit his defeat from 2020 in public – and argues, with the help of his followers (to which I still count myself up to a certain point) ad absurdum! However, the upcoming US presidential election will be even more politically exciting and the price action even more volatile than we can imagine today?! Nevertheless, regardless of that, I assume, as I have already written to many columns, that we will experience US growth of -1% to +1%. and that for better or worse in 2023 and 2024. I feel like Nourinel Roubini, who wrote on October 3, 2020: “For a year now I have been arguing that the rise in inflation will be permanent, that its causes include not only misguided policies but also supply-side shocks and that central bank attempts to fight inflation will provoke an economic hard landing. When the recession comes, I warned, it will be severe, protracted, and marked by widespread financial distress and debt crises. Despite their hawkish pronouncements, the in Central bankers caught in a debt trap would still “pinch” and accept above-target inflation. Any portfolio composed of risky stocks and less-risky fixed income would lose money on the bonds due to higher inflation and increased inflation expectations.” And that´s why I decided this 13th calendar week of `23 even these 4XSetUps, as I have decided! Why? Read further this and/or all next Technical Analysis 4XSetUps…

All New (Old) 4XSetUps This Week Are Based On The Assumption
That The USD Index (DXY) Will Get Cheaper In Line With The US Yield Curve,
So That US Stocks (In Contrast To 2022) Could Be More Attractive Back Again.
And That´s Why We Should Get An Brief Overview Of DXY, Yields And/Or WallStreet

Wall Street Starts Week Higher On Banks Relief, As US 10-Year Treasury Yield Hovers Around 3.4% And/Or Dollar Holds Recent Advance

The Dow ended more than 190 points higher on Monday, while the S&P 500 was up nearly 0.2%, as sentiment improved after policymakers took steps and offered additional support to the troubled banking sector. Regional banks gained with the First Republic Bank jumping 12.1%, following news that US authorities are considering expanding an emergency credit line for banks. Also, First Citizens announced a deal to take over Silicon Valley Bank’s loans and deposits from the FDIC. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 was down roughly 0.5% after an uptick in Treasury yields spooked investors away from tech and other high-growth stocks. Tomorrow, Fed Barr is expected to testify before the Senate lawmakers calling the failure of Silicon Valley Bank a “textbook case of mismanagement” while acknowledging there may have been shortcomings in the central bank’s oversight.

The US 10-year Treasury note yield, seen as a proxy for global borrowing costs, bottomed around 3.4%, close to levels not seen since September 2022, as investors piled into safe-haven assets amid concerns about the global banking sector’s health while weighing the risk of a recession. Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari was among the first policymakers to warn that recent stress in the banking sector and the possibility of a follow-on credit crunch brings the world’s largest economy closer to recession. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve delivered dovish rhetoric along with the loosely-expected 25bps hike in interest rates, indicating that it was on the verge of pausing its tightening campaign to address recent risks to financial stability.

The dollar index steadied around 103 on Monday, holding its recent advance as investors continued to assess the potential trajectory of the financial crisis and the outlook for Federal Reserve monetary policy. US authorities aimed to shore up market confidence by considering an expanded emergency lending facility and assuring the US banking system was “sound and resilient”. Nonetheless, traders remained wary. Last week, the Fed delivered a widely expected 25 basis point rate hike and hinted at only one more increase. Still, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that officials didn’t see rate cuts for 2023 and were prepared to prolong their tightening cycle if needed. All eyes now turn to a key measure of US inflation and several speeches from Fed officials this week.

Let Me Give You Some Basic Background Information About My 4XSetUps At This Point

George Soros is considered one of the most successful stock market speculators of all time. He is one of my literary role models, my super-egos, my egos, if you will – because I love to put myself in his shoes of thinking about his own written theory of reflection – and then, based on this, to draw my own mathematical and/or semantic conclusions. Next to Andre Kostolany, he shaped me the most in terms of my perception of the financial market. One of my two grandfathers, if you will – with a wink, of course. Because George Soros quotes do not deal with small-small, because Soros is a critical thinker who thinks in terms of global economic policy and aligns all his investments with it. The following three quotes can serve as evidence for this way of thinking.

“Before sunrise comes darkness.”
“China is reluctant to take responsibility for the world, Germany is reluctant to take responsibility for Europe.”
“Because of its history, Germany fears inflation more than recession. In the rest of the world it is exactly the opposite.”

George Soros’ quotes are perhaps partly to blame for the fact that he is dividing opinions in both Hungary and the USA like hardly any other major investor. For the nationalists, he is considered a socialist traitor to the fatherland. And/Or also for the socialists as cunning capitalists. Which is why, as his grandson in spirit (if you will), I keep defending him as an international Federal Republican – even if I don’t always agree with him on many different detail political points. And as a Federal Republican, he feels surely like me real good about the fact that he is repeatedly attacked mainly by politically left-wing socialists and/or right-wing nationalists. Just a testament to the fact that he is basically an enlightened international Hungarian American Jewish Federal Republican; just like my humble self, even an enlightened international German Croatian Catholic Federal Republican.

Let Me Detail Ot Clearly And/Or Break It Down To The Point

The major Swiss bank UBS has left Tesla’s rating on “buy” with a target price of $220, in their last study of last Friday, the 24th March 2022.
According to UBS surveys, almost half of consumers are considering buying a fully electric car, analyst Patrick Hummel wrote in a study published on Friday. However, this is a slight decline over the year, the first since the survey began in 2016. There are concerns on the European markets as to whether such a vehicle can be afforded. Tesla remains the world’s best-known brand for battery-powered vehicles. And the technical charts pictures are speak for themselves! Or? That`s why we`re long in the NASDAQ:TSLA back again. And hope that over the time the positive change in sentiment regarding the NASDAQ will conserve.

The fact that the gap between the US interest rate and US inflation has never been so low since the outbreak of US stagflation in July 2021, and/or since Joe Biden took office at the end of January 2021, gives me confidence. And proves to me that the Fed has mostly done its job. Even if I don’t expect interest rate cuts for this year 2023 today – like many traders yet (in the Futures). So it doesn’t currently look pro-cyclically bullish for US stocks in New York. But bearish on the DXY and the US Yield Cruve. That’s why I chose the 4XSetUps of this wich just like I chose you.
