From last week:
Last week I told I am taking the all month sort of off.
I will be in front of the screen, but not trading or searching for opportunities.
Every year I postpone as much as I can of doing boring tasks, so every year I take the entire August month to do these tasks.
This week I finished the host migration, everything went smoothly.
The blog was backed up and deployed nicely and the dashboard can now be found at http://tanos-trader.eod-notes.com/
Still long $AG and $LVO.
Admission of guilt, I made a few scalp trades on the Portuguese stock market.
Some companies were a target for a takeover and the priced pumped hard.

My macro opinions for long term:
- We are heading lower, much lower on stocks.
Started to turn early on the week but finished strong. I still believe the path of least resistance is down. - US bond yields are going to zero.
It´s happening, not much to say - Gold and silver will go a little bit lower before acting as safe heavens.
Closed above $1740 may be a good sign. - Commodities will behave like gold, specially grains.
Grains are having a nice pump on the DXY decline.
Next Week:
More earnings:
Special notes for Nio, Cisco, Barrick Gold, Draft Kings, and Farfetch
Overall, markets are pretty much in raging bull mode. There’s no point to fight this movement. I am very bearish based on the “real” numbers but I won’t open a short until I see a true rollover.
There’s plenty of opportunities in the market, and not making a trade, is also a trade.
WTI
There are not a lot of interest in WTI at the moment. OI is decreasing a lot every week.
On the other hand, despite not having a lot of OI, the price is hanging on.
Technically, it looks weak. It had a major rejection and it is testing the bottom of the rising wedge and the pitchfork.
Other note, the correlation between Crude futures and TYX, keeps aiming for a lower price per barrel.
Gold
What a bull run. Last Friday, gold closed lower. I don’t see it as an end of a massive gold bull run but as a correction that´s due.
DXY shorts are staking on the CoT report, despite last Friday dead cat bounce.
DXY may have more upside on the bounce and Gold might retrace a little bit more. I see it as organic and healthy.
Another thing to consider is the GVZ $28 level, usually Gold struggles to break above it.
SP500
We are going to test the all-time highs probably. Eight straight green days with very big ranges.
The trend is still up and untouched.
Overall components are still above 250DMA
One thing to take into consideration, the market tape has been decreasing substantially for the last few weeks.
Bitcoin
What a run, very nice move. I am not a bitcoiner, but I recognize It´s becoming an asset class. I own some since 2016 and used to trade it heavily.
Maybe It´s the beginning of something new, a new trend. Short term, I think the upside is capped.
Other Notes
Safe havens are pumping and moving in unison:
Insiders are selling hand over fist, everything is very expensive.
