How to Read Chart

Left Side - Daily (Similar Set TREND)

Right Side - 4HR (Similar Set TRADE)

Ask yourself “what did I do last week? How did I behave in real time?”

Ask yourself, “What did I do last week? How did I behave in real time?”I used to panic, believe headlines, and make terrible decisions during high volatility events. It’s almost impossible to avoid, which is why these mistakes repeat. It's just human behavior at large enough scale. Most people can’t help themselves because they lack a process.

Last week, thanks to the Similar Set Signal, I knew exactly what to do and when. Most of the week, I waited and watched in equities, capitalized on dips during credit panic, entered core positions in FX, and shorted some crypto. I stayed calm, disciplined, and focused on signal changes.

VIX

Closed bearish TRADE/TREND. I knew precisely when to act, and it happened at the end of Friday.

Signal @similar_set $Vix closed bearish Similar Set TADE/TREND https://twitter.com/similar_set/status/1979234793490420150 Signal @similar_set $VIX When the VIX turns bullish on TRADE/TREND, it’s not a dip. But the math changes. A VIX close below 21.55 would shift it back to bearish TRADE/TREND, opening the door back to bull market.

HYG

High yield confirmed the panic was over for now, closing bullish TRADE/TREND.

Russell 2000

What did I do? I entered the Russell before its 2% move today. How? The Similar Set Signal.

Covered XRP

As the transition unfolded, I covered my XRP short in crypto—a small win that protected me from downside when the crowd panicked, then covered as the real panic passed, with it closing back to bullish TRADE.

Crypto USDT.D

USDT remains in bullish TRADE TREND, but I’m not shorting pullbacks to TRADE in tokens since it’s not Quad 4. We just had a Quad 4 moment, and signals suggest waiting and watching with a bias toward a bearish TRADE/TREND break—though no position yet.

URNJ

Longing US equities and covering crypto weren’t the only moves. Did you notice Uranium Miners on sale at the low end of the range within bullish Similar Set TRADE/TREND?

KRE

If you wanted to believe the panic, the Signal showed where to short. A textbook bullish to bearish TREND shift:

1. Big lower highs
2. Break TRADE
3. Break TREND

$KRE dropped over 8% since Wednesday at bearish TRADE after breaking bearish TREND near the top end of the range (second red arrow).

DXY

USD held TREND and is now attempting to climb back above TRADE. I added FX shorts on the first green arrow, still waiting for TRADE to break to incrementally add to those positions.

YEN

Perfect confluence at the top end of the range, with bearish TRADE and TREND. See how clear this was versus the hectic nature of Equities last week?

FXE

Another successful bullish to bearish TREND shift.

1. Big lower highs
2. Break TRADE
3. Break TREND

Fractally, this is how it happens every time.

Rates

2YR bounced off the low end of the range but still holds bearish TRADE. CPI Friday should bring macro tourism and hedging events. Just read the signal.

Gold

Rates bouncing triggered a pullback in precious metals, with Gold bouncing the strongest.

Silver

I wasn't adding to Silver at TRADE due to its parabolic run. You should have core positions from much lower. It can keep going, so I’m not selling, but I’m cautious—this is an historic run.

Oil

Quad 2 is good for Oil… but wait now it's not Quad 2? That's why it's SIGNAL → Quad.

The Similar Set Signal told you to do the opposite of the Quad expectation—shorting from the break back to bearish TRADE within bearish TREND, now down over 11%.

XLE

Yet another example of a bullish to bearish TREND shift.

1. Big lower highs
2. Break TRADE
3. Break TREND

The top end of the range is trying to cross TREND, with multiple closes and separation before TREND. You should already be out of Energy equities.
