By TheTechnicalTraders<\/u><\/a> – <\/strong>This is one of those articles that are packed with resources showing your what to expect for various assets both long-term and short-term and will guide you through these volatile times and this year.<\/p>\n

Our friends and followers continue to contact us asking what to expect and what should they be doing with their assets and trades?\u00a0 Our research and analysis have been very clear up to this point; we warned of a Zombie Rally in early November and early December 2019, we warned that Oil would fall below $40 on November 15, 2019, and we warned of a global Black Swan event on January 26, 2020.<\/p>\n

January 26, 2020:<\/strong> THE BLACK SWAN EVENT BEGINS<\/a><\/p>\n

December 2, 2019: <\/strong>IS THE CURRENT RALLY A TRUE VALUATION RALLY OR EUPHORIA?<\/a><\/p>\n

November 15, 2019:<\/strong> WHEN OIL COLLAPSES BELOW $40 WHAT HAPPENS? PART III<\/a><\/p>\n

November 10, 2019:<\/strong> WELCOME TO THE ZOMBIE-LAND OF INVESTING \u2013 PART I<\/a><\/p>

All of this research, in addition to our other research, was very clear that we believed the upside price rally that began in September\/October 2019 was a \u201cZombie-like\u201d price advance that didn\u2019t have a supporting fundamental or technical foundation.\u00a0 We were warning clients and followers to use this advance as a means to move away from risk and into more of a cash position \u2013 in preparation for a future event that we believed was setting up.\u00a0 One of the clearest examples of our research team attempting to prepare our followers for what we expected in early 2020 was this post.<\/p>\n

S&P 500 Topping Chart Pattern<\/h3>\n

This article highlighted our belief that a major topping pattern was set up and that this same price pattern happened just before other major peaks in the US stock market.\u00a0 The Stealth, Awareness, and Mania Phases seemed to be in place \u2013 the only thing left was the Blow Off Phase.<\/p>\n

This article, today, is going to attempt to share some additional research data developed by our team to help you better understand the potential future outcome of this unfolding event.\u00a0 As with anything we share related to making future price predictions or analysis, this is all based on our research team\u2019s understanding of various global economic fundamentals and expectations related to capital functions throughout the global economic environment.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n

FED Fund Rate & Expectations<\/h3>\n

First, we want to share with you our modeling of the US economy and the Fed Funds Rate Optimal Levels which will assist all of us in understanding the future expectations and actions by the US Fed related to future economic modeling.\u00a0 This chart, created by our research team in early 2018, attempts to model the optimal US Fed Funds Rate (FFR) levels based on a decline in population and GDP while US Deficits also decline moderately after 2020 \u2013 in other words, more of the same type of global economic functions.<\/p>\n

If the Covid-19 virus pushes the GDP lower while government expenses increase and consumer spending\/activity decreases, we believe this model is most likely a proper representation of what to expect by the US Fed going forward.\u00a0 As you can see, this modeling system draws an expected FFR level in BLUE, a high variance level in PINK and a low variance level in GREY\/TURQUOISE.\u00a0 After the near-zero rates after the 2008-09 credit crisis, our model expected the Fed to begin raising rates in 2013 and for rates to peak near 2017.\u00a0 We believe the US Fed was behind the curve in their actions to adjust the FFR levels throughout most of the past 8+ years.\u00a0 Although, The US Fed has positioned current rates very near to where our predictive modeling system expects for 2020; between 1.25~1.50%.<\/p>\n

The future of this model suggests the US Fed will normalize rates near 1.0% as early as 2022 or 2023 and keep rates near 1.0% until sometime near 2027 or so.\u00a0 This model suggests a substantial advance in the US stock market may take place sometime between 2022 and 2028 \u2013 before it appears the US Fed will have to address another type of crisis event in near late 2028, or 2029, or early 2030.<\/p>\n

How this chart plays into the current Covid-19 expectations is simple, the US Fed will have to attempt to lower rates while stimulating the US and global economies in conjunction with other Central Banks.\u00a0 This modeling system does not take into consideration a pandemic event or other type of Black Swan event.\u00a0 It does take into consideration modeled optimal levels based on a decrease in population, a decrease in GDP and an increase in US Deficits.<\/p>\n

Concluding Thoughts:<\/h3>\n

The point of this article is to share some of our data and our future expectations with you, our friends and followers.\u00a0 As we continue to post additional sections\/parts of this article, we\u2019ll dig deeper into our research and forward expectations.\u00a0 Remember, we\u2019ve just highlighted two charts that show potential global economic expectations well into and past 2030.\u00a0 We\u2019ve also shared some predictive modeling that suggests a period between 2021~22 and 2027 should be relatively calm and trendy (likely Bullish) for the US markets.\u00a0 Keep this in mind as we continue our future article posts.<\/p>\n

The type of market condition I think we have entered could be here for a while, a year or three, and it\u2019s going to be a traders market, which means you must have a trading strategy, plan your trades, and trade your plan. It\u2019s amazing how simple a few trading rules are written down on paper can save you thousands of dollars a year from locking in gains, or cutting losses. I have this mini\u00a0trading strategy mastery course<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0if you want to take control of your trades and override your emotional issues. It\u2019s easy to hold winners until they turn into losers, taking to large of a position, or maybe you have masted the art of buying high and selling low repeatedly? Yikes! It happens to most traders, and it can easily be overcome with a logical game plan I cover in the crash course, pun intended ?<\/p>\n

In short, if you have lost money with your trading account this year, holding some big losing trades that were big winners just a couple of weeks ago, I think it\u2019s worth joining my trading newsletter so you can stay on top of the markets. I take the loud, emotional, and complex market and deliver simple common sense commentary and a couple of winning trades each month.<\/p>\n

My trading is nothing extreme or crazy exciting because I\u2019m not an adrenaline trading junky. I only want to grow my entire portfolio 2-4% a month with a couple of conservative ETF trades. Making 22%-48% return on my capital every year without the stress of being caught up in this type of market, feeling like I always need to be in a trad, and knowing I have a proven bear market trading strategy incase this market continues to fall is crucial for capital preservation, and my health.<\/p>\n

As a technical analysis and trader since 1997, I have been through a few bull\/bear market cycles. I believe I have a good pulse on the market and timing key turning points for short-term swing traders.<\/p>\n
