August 10, 2022 - Broad Market Commentary


We still only have 3 waves up off the low. This is still a warning sign. There are high odds for a deep retrace once it moves in. The RSI can’t break out of the bear market resistance. There’s still some uncertainty about whether this is the bottom or not. 

The USD has further confirmed a top, but rates and crude have not. The next pullback needs to hold 3940 and then turn up for one more high in order to confirm a meaningful low was put in in June.
