Sometimes, people use the terms encryption and decoding, like they mean the same thing. And that is a common mistake, you may also see hashing be confused as an encryption mechanism. Confusing these concepts may lead to misunderstandings in the way security is implemented. In this video, you are going to see a high-level review of these concepts and understand the differences to help you be more secure on your applications. Let's begin with decoding. You can define encoding as a technique to transform data from one format to another so that it can be understood and consumed by different systems. Basically, encoding has to do with information representation. When you have some information, say the name of the mineral that we can superman, you can represent it through letters as in kryptonite. This is a handy representation for humans, like me and you, but not so easy for being manipulated by computers. What usually happens in this case is the transformation of these sequences of characters into these seconds of bits. When you take the word and the sequence of bits, you have two representations of the same information. The letter-based representation is usually understood by human systems, like me talking to you right now. And the bit-based representation is more suitable for computers. Commonly, you say that the sequence of letters has been encoded into the sequence of bits. So encoding is just a transformation from one data representation to another, keeping the same information. Usually, it involves a conversion table such as our dear ASCII table that was used in the kryptonite example. That maps the representation of a item in one system to the corresponding representation of the same item in the other system. You can find several encoding mechanisms out there, apart from Dear ASCII UHA. Unicode, which allows you to represent more complex items than letters, such as emojis and other symbols. You have Base64, which lets you represent binary data such as an image through text. And you have URL encoding, useful to represent arbitrary data in a URL where some characters are reserved or cannot be used. Think of spaces and columns, for example. Consider now the JSON Web tokens, Jots, for example. These three parts compose a token encoded using Base64 URL, a variant of Base64 combined with the URL encoding. That is your JWT. This encoding mechanism allows the token to be easily packed in an HTML and HTTP environment without the fear of clashes with preserved or unrepresentable characters. If you want to learn more about JWTs, you can download the JWT handbook linked in the description of this video. Encoding ensures interoperability between systems. Yes, I know, it is a big word. But encoding allows systems that use different data representations to share information. Encoding has no security purpose. Anyone that knows the conversion algorithm can encode and decode data. The conversion algorithm is not kept secret. On the contrary, it is public in order to facilitate the interoperability between the systems. Finally, encoding is a reversible process. It is a reversible process. You can transform one piece of data from one representation to another and then go back to the original representation without information loss. Encryption, on the other hand, is a technique that makes data unreadable and hard to decode for the unauthorized party. So basically, encryption is a mechanism that transfers data into a different representation so that prying eyes cannot understand it. And you may be wondering, is in this transformation the same as encoding after all? How can a human being understand that this sequence of bits represents the word kryptonite? Order the meat telling you it does. In fact, this question is not so far-fetched. In no way, encryption is a form of encoding. It transforms data from one representation to another. For this reason, sometimes people tend to use the term encryption and encoding as if they mean the same thing. However, the purpose of encryption is different from the purpose of encoding. The encryption technique aims at making data unreadable and hard to decode. This is the opposite reason of pure encoding. Encoding aims at making the data as much as understandable as possible across systems while encryption tries to make the data undistiffable unless they have an authorization for reading it. The main goal of encryption is to ensure data confidentiality, for example, protecting data from being accessed by unauthorized parties. So while encoding makes its conversion algorithm as public as possible, encryption should keep such algorithms private, right? Actually, it's not really like that. Relying on secret algorithms is not the best choice to protect data in the long run. Better solutions rely on well-known algorithms whose data transformation is based on sequences of numbers or letters called keys. Please do not create your own encryption algorithm unless you are a mathematics expert with a long experience in cryptography field. The best mechanisms to encrypt data are based on mathematical algorithms that can be solved only with the possession of a key or advanced computational power. There are two families of key-based encryption algorithms, the symmetric keys algorithms. These algorithms use the same key to encrypt and decrypt data, like the AES algorithm and the ACMATP algorithms. These algorithms use a pair of different keys, one to encrypt and another to decrypt data. The key pair are bound by a complex mathematical relationship and the ISA, for example, is an algorithm of this family. Like pure encoding, encryption is reversible process as well, although just for authorized people. Authorized people are the ones in possession of a decryption key. The challenge of authorized vessels and authorized people is to make data decryption without the key as hard as possible. This leads to applying a mix of questions such as complex mathematical relationship between the keys, keeping them secret and changing them frequently and so on. Now that you understand the differences between encryption and encoding, let's take a look at hashing. Basically, hashing is a technique to generate a unique fixed length in string, a hash, strictly depending on the specific input data. Since the generated hash depends on the specific input data, any change to the input data, no matter how small or big, generates a different hash. So think of it like this. Having a hash of a given piece of data, you can verify that the data has been altered by calculating its hash and compare it with the hash that you have before. In other words, hashing ensures data integrity. A hashing algorithm must have the five following assumptions. 1. The resulting hash has a fixed length. 2. The same input always produces the same output. 3. Multiple different inputs should not produce the same output. 4. It must not be possible to obtain the input data from the output data. And 5. Any change to the data input implies a different resulting hash. If you think about the third assumption that says that multiple different inputs should not produce the same output, it seems that while you should get different hashes for distinct input data, it can't be guaranteed. Actually, this point makes the difference between hashing algorithms. For example, MD5 has been a very common hashing algorithm in the past, but in 2008, it was deprecated to collision detection. The same happened to some early algorithms of the secure hashing algorithms family, the SHA family. It is also worth to mention that the fourth assumption that says that it must not be possible to obtain the input data from the output data implies that hashing is not a reversible process, unlike encoding and encryption. As you've seen today, encoding, hashing and encryption have the specific purposes and features. Confusing the capabilities and roles in your system may lead to disastrous consequences. For example, you may think that encrypting passwords is the best secured option, but in reality, it's a very bad idea. That's what Adobe engineers learned in the Databridge in 2020. The attackers who got access to their user database could break the encryption algorithm. Remember that encryption is a reversible process after all. Even if they don't have the decryption key, they may have enough time to guess it. Adobe reset the user's password as a countermeasure, but you and I, no users. We use the same password for multiple services. So even if access to Adobe services may be safe, access to other websites was potentially compromised. To avoid this type of breach, they should have used hashing instead of encryption to store users' passwords in a secure way. You know that hashing is not a reversible process. Attackers can determine the password from which the hash was generated. But also, simply relying on hashing is not the best option, as the liquidity breach from 2012 taught us. If you want, there are two articles linked below where you can learn more about storing the passwords used in hashing and how to use salt to store passwords properly. If you mind, this video was a high-level overview. So if you are craving a more technical comparison between encoding encryption and hashing, I also have a link for you in the description of the video. I'm looking forward to your comments, and I'll see you soon. Bye.


Hello and welcome back to the embedded world 2023 and thanks for stopping by at the exhibitors forum here in hall 3. Our next topic today is ST microelectronics how stellar microcontrollers boost electrical vehicles performance and our speaker today is Francesco Petrozielli from ST microelectronics. Enjoy! Good morning everybody if you are working in the automotive electrification area or if you are simply interested in brainstorming with ST on how this journey is evolving combining electrification and the other mega trends then you are in the right room today so as introduced my name is Francesco Petrozielli I'm with ST microelectronics responsible for regional marketing automotive microcontrollers and processors and what today I would like to introduce you is how ST is innovating in the digital world to address the challenges and the opportunities of the electrification application automotive because electrification compared to the other mega trends is real so we have cars running on the road driving on the road since years but we are at the beginning so we are just starting and there is much more to come so what I want to discuss with you is what we believe the combination of multiple mega trends software defined vehicle and electrification can in the future change the user experience and the capabilities of electrical vehicles for for the users and for the industry so I will not belong I will try to keep it short and to leave a space for question and answers so let's see how how long I will be able to I will need to pass the message so I start a little bit from from far away so software defined systems what does it mean and and then as introduction to the software defined vehicle so software defined vehicle can simply mean that you have the possibility to define your car using software but in reality a system that is software design is a system where the abstraction and the control of the functionality is done in software so this is a very basic simple definition that means let's assume you have a puzzle here that is a square puzzle if it is hardware it stays like this until end of life so you can change this picture while if it's software defined you have the possibility during the lifetime of the square of this object to adjust it and to make becoming different animals so we have here for example a kangaroo we have other other shapes and this is what you can do in the field so afterwards after the system has been bought has been designed and then why software defined vehicle is introduced and because this is very important to understand the implications on software defined vehicle because the two things might look a little bit disconnected but it is not so software defined vehicle is a new mega trend because this enables for the car a second life so basically you buy an object at the beginning like a mobile phone and at the end of the life it looks different from how it was when you bought it and this is one of the most important aspect of software defined vehicle in that way it increase your user experience it inanes your user experience so you have also the possibility to enjoy different features over the lifetime and last but not least but this is more than for the producers of car than for the user it enables recurring profit and enabling the curing profit is not trivial because the business model of the industry is changing completely so also in the past who were selling mobile phone were making revenue on hardware selling nowadays is not like this is more software than hardware and this is happening also for the car makers so some German OEMs last year had one billion on revenue only on software updates one billion on revenue and this is going to increase in the last 10 years to become double-digit revenues for the OEMs so but what does it mean then in terms of electrification functionality the possibility to update the vehicle and to update the user interface of the vehicle so in this picture I'm trying to represent what could be updated over lifetime of the car so on the upper part you have more capabilities that are related to the user experience that means you can buy more horsepower to have more performances or you can subscribe to new membership in the infotainment world and this is I think clear to everybody on the bottom part of this light I represent something that is a little bit transparent for the user but still important but it is even more important for the car producers so the industry can benefit from firmware update over the air because you can in a safety and security when the car is in the field so what is this norm here the R155 that is very popular nowadays in the automotive it does not only prescribe that you need to fix security threat but first of all it forces the OEM to block security threat so even if you don't have a fix for example for a Bluetooth connection the first thing you need to do is to disable the Bluetooth to prevent that somebody is attacking the vehicle how can you do this without firmware update over the air without the capabilities to remotely control the functionality it's not possible and this is one example but the other example that is relevant for electrification is this one data analysis and maintenance so the car being connected to the cloud has the possibility to learn day by day from the use case from the user scenario of the users itself and in this context this is also another way to represent the famous digital twin concept so we have on the bottom part the real world reality you have the physical car that is around and on the upper part of this slide you have the metaverse where there is a replica of your car in the cloud and the idea here is that data from the car are connected are compressed are pre-analysed if needed are sent to the cloud in the cloud there is a learning algorithm that is understanding if the users drives more in the city or more on the highway if it's leaving in a warm place or in a cold place if he likes to have a sport drive style or more an economical drive style and depending on this can tune the drive train the battery management system in order to offer to the user better drive experience or a longer drive experience depending on the specific user scenario once this is done the updated tuning of the car can be redeployed in the field and goes then in the real car in the real vehicle so in this concept electrification is just at the beginning because this is still simply started now and the software defined vehicle does not simply mean that you can update the software of the car but means also this means that you can calibrate that you can fine tune the functionality of the car in the field day by day so that is to introduce electrification in terms of opportunities because I mean this is meanwhile also by law expected to happen will happen and what are the opportunities decarbonization is in first place so the objective final objective is to be able to reduce the emission and to have a cleaner environment but alone this is not only what we want really to achieve that is also other opportunities like for example more fun to drive because the kind of driving experience that you have when driving an electrical motor is not the same like a combustion engine and in some cases we can also combine because we can have an hybrid car where you have both benefits the benefits of an electric vehicle and the benefits of a combustion engine benefit car last but not least electrification enables also new opportunities to recycle materials because we always think that the batteries of a car are somehow not so environment friendly equipment but in reality it depends on how the battery in the car will be reused at the end of life of the car so when they are a little bit worn out it's still possible to reuse them in other infrastructure for example in the grid infrastructure all this is what is possible with the transition to electrification but together because as usual there are never only pros there are also some cons in every heavy transformation range anxiety so whoever has an electric car or an hybrid car knows very well how it is after the three or four hundred kilometers when the indicators start to say that there is only 10 percent of the range capabilities left and then you need to find a way to recharge your car or to feel again the tank that is usually smaller charging time because when you have an hybrid car and you simply can feel the tank in the last few minutes when you have a full electric vehicle and you need to wait multiple minutes or even hours to recharge your battery this is of course not extremely convenient for the users for us as drivers and last but not least is a matter of maturity of the technology so we said we have done a lot until today but much more has to be done and if there is not the possibility to upgrade the functionality of the system so that it stays state of the art also after the car is bought it is a little bit limiting the capabilities and the functionalities of the electrical system and in this context how ST wants to help the industry and support the innovation so with the full family of products you see on the left side of this slide the typical three-level representation of a car vehicle so we start on the top from the cloud services what I mentioned the digital twin then we go in the middle where there is more the control part that the software defined part there is the intelligence the vehicle computer and then there are the zones to represent fireballing a sort of gateway between the software functionality and the harness and then below there are the actuations with the harness we play as ST a role everywhere so from the actuation stellar e where he stays for electrification going up to vehicle computers to zone control with stellar g and stellar p stellar g and p are called integration mcs because they in allows also the capabilities to integrate more functionalities together and in particular stellar p is designed for motion control so focus for electrification are stellar p as integration motion control and stellar e as actuation with advanced analog capabilities only as a brief explanation about stellar stellar is a brand of ST that covers all the automotive 32-bit digital products so from very low-end going up to be a success everything is called stellar and then depends on the different series to understand where these products are positioned so now something that it's very very schematic high level I mean does not represent something that is applicable everywhere but it's a simple representation of how it could look like the electrical drive train and power distribution in a vehicle so on the far left side you see the grid this is not automotive this is the infrastructure and in this case we have the alternate current domain but could be also in terms of charging could be also a DC charging so as I said it's only representation does not want to be an exhaustive picture and then when there is the first dotted line we go inside the vehicle so the onboard charger is onboard is an automotive system and what it does it generates the DC current to charge the battery pack that is in the middle battery pack that can be nowadays 400 800 volts and that is strictly connected to a battery management system that is an extremely important electronic control for safety of the car itself not only for the control of the battery and then to the battery pack that is high voltage there is the high voltage power distribution connected first of all traction inverter that gives the power the horsepower to the vehicle and potentially also a gear shift if for example it's an electric vehicle with the secondary dc dc we are transforming this high voltage to low voltage and then we go to the other consumers in the vehicles that can be body actuators can be infotainment can be chassis actuators so um very high level where we as st are offering a solution with the stellar p and stellar e products mainly in the onboard charger dc dc battery management system traction inverter and shift gear uh what is the best product to fit for a simple application actuations stellar e is exactly designed for this if you want to integrate more functionality in the same system you may need more horsepower and then you may go up to the stellar pms you or you can combine the two things so you could have stellar e combined with the stellar p but when we are talking about the single issues if you have something that is also trendy nowadays at oems combination of multiple issues then for combos you could have for example onboard charger secondary dc dc battery management system traction inverter traction inverter and gear shift in that case most probably you will need a stellar p integration mcu and you might have for attuation also they need to have a stellar e that described in that way are a little bit too abstract so let's try to explain a little bit better why these products fits the application and we start with the stellar e for electrification so it's a safe and secure digital signal controller for fast control loop today you have on the market a lot of fast control loop controller which are not automotive grade or are automotive grade but qualified after life and that don't offer a zeal safety level don't offer automotive security don't offer auto star support don't offer the hardware support for firmware update and firmware update over the air support is the basis for software in vehicles so if you don't have this you cannot do when the car is driving these things that I explained at the beginning so with stellar e we have mathematical accelerators and a sub nanosecond pwm to implement fast control loop with very fast analog to digital converter with very low latency comparators and we have as well the mathematical accelerator for cordy for example or hardware resolver but at the same time we have thanks to the cortex m7 that is the core of this the heart of this system offer also the standard control capabilities like a normal mcu so basically you can combine in a single chip both the fast control loop part and the typical housekeeping and control algorithm part of the system and everything born since the beginning at design level to be automotive grade meaning with all the ecc protection end to end ecc and so on so up to the highest grade of safety while what is the stellar p mcu because we mentioned both stellar p then enters into the game when the performances needed are higher in that case we have cortex r 52 plus cores and when there is the need to integrate multi-asil virtual machines so that means we have the possibility to virtualize in real time different virtual machines thanks to multiple techniques starting from the core the core itself the r 52 supports natively virtualization but also with the design of the platform itself that has been done to allow those count of advanced features but there is also much more so we have high-end accelerators to do the actuation for example the latest version of the gtm with a resolution timers we have mathematical accelerators fast that this is and in particular in this family but also in the stellary family we have the advanced ota support x2 last year i did a speech on the over the capabilities of this family so i hope should be still retrievable in the internet otherwise on youtube for sure there is an explanation about how it works this innovative technique for for firmware update over the air so only one example because i don't want to bore people here uh is planning how every topology could look like but in that case i am simply um representing on the upper part of this like a standard approach about how to do a dcdc converter and obc so you have a control mcu and the mcu usually has safety security supports autosar because this is connected to the rest of the vehicle network and then you have one or more dsp's that are doing the control loop that don't have very reduced safety that have no security that do not support autosar do not support firmware update over the air so you have at least two if not four components to do this kind of control algorithm when you move to stellary on the bottom you can combine all those things in one single product and that the possibility to do control and actuation is easy with security with firmware update over the air and we support for autosar everything we want to chain everything born since the beginning automotive great and we are offering hardware because st is a nor i think a well-known supplier of semiconductor components but this has to be complemented also with software and in our case here we are demonstrating at our boost if you are interested please pass by 4a 148 is our boost we have world with a partner that is a startup called oxydos very clever guys that are using rust new trendy programming language which is by default type safe memory safe thread safe and so on and they develop an operating system which is called oxydos and that is able to work like a small type two hypervisor so basically it runs on the hardware and it offers some sandboxed task where you can run a c application because if you have legacy c code you may want to use it but you can also run the applications natively written in rust and using then all the benefits of this new language programming language so in that way basically you start having a compile time a good coverage of the ISO standards plus you have c like execution speed and you have also object oriented like programmers model so it is a quick start a quick way to start in the design of a secure and safe issues using safe and secure hardware and safe and secure operating system this is only of course one example our ecosystem is much broader but this is what we are showing here and then I come to the end so that there are also some minutes for Q&A if any what are the takeaways of this introduction today so electrification is something of one of the most important mega trending automotive together with software defined vehicle the two software defined vehicle and electrification are not necessarily decoupled as it could be as it could look like at the beginning there are a lot of challenges that have to be solved in the transition to electric vehicles including the to bring the technology to to become much more efficient and then simplification of the architecture and achieve the highest power efficiency that can be achievable in this kind of transition the digital twins and the software defined vehicle functionalities can help car makers and the tier one producers to achieve these kind of goals not only at the beginning when the car is produced but also a lifetime of the vehicle and then last but not least a steam micro electronics that is providing the components we don't provide the complete solution is bringing the technology and innovation that is simplifying the solution of these challenges and so we have spoken about stellary mcu for actuation electrification as the lrp mcu integration mcu for motion control that is basically everything i wanted to tell you today so if you want to know more about our technology please buzz by our whole about a booth in a whole for a stand 148 and now i think i can close the presentation and i can leave the stage to you in case there are questions if any microphone in the middle so that the people that are not on site can also hear your question would be appreciated regarding you know the recent announcement from tesla that in the next generation of their product all the mcu's will be designed in-house so just wondering what is your view on this thanks well i cannot comment on the specific announcement but you may know that this is becoming pretty pretty much popular nowadays that oems are going directly to the tier two to design together the semiconductor products when they say that they will design by their own you should not imagine that they will simply produce the semiconductor themselves so they will be involved and will work in the design of some specific products together with tier two this is what we are seeing as well we are partnering with many oems specifically this one i don't think but i don't know simply i cannot comment but with others yes there are also press releases around so it's a trend that is happening and we will see how far they will go so because at a certain point you also need to benefit from the economy or scale so if you design the products only for your own it's difficult to it's difficult to benefit from the big volumes so there must be at a certain point a compromise and then oems might design the chips that are making them differentiate from their competitors any other question we still have six minutes hello okay so we understood that this the the importance of the software is increasing right so from st point of view is going to be an increased offering from software perspective or because it's becoming more a trend that you know even from semiconductor point of view the offering from software is going up so what is the positioning of testing in this from the stellar family is going to be this still much position and on the other offering we understood there is already a software offering in the picture but yeah if you can comment on this thanks thank you a very good question i mean this is something that i don't think there is the right answer what we think we need to do is to invest more in software but this does not mean that we need to design the software by our own so mainstream what is it tends to do is to work more with partners and to enable and to broaden and enable more ecosystem partners than before but still software is defining the functionality and remains then the key competence of our customers so if we provide software to the market then this become same for everybody means become no longer a differentiator for our customers so we tend to invest more on what is not differentiating low level drivers safety support some security support all the basic functionalities but we believe that at a certain point differentiating software like also the algorithm for traction control or for conversion this has to be left to the customers to the oem themselves so that can differentiate so it's true that we also invest more in software than before but still we invest only on what is not differentiated for our customers otherwise we try to simply broaden and sustain and enable the ecosystem like with oxytocs i have a question regarding the definition but your product family including for this stellar pge so what is the criteria for you to define this difference is because of the performance or you will do some system level testing or validation for different product families which can support the customers is a question so if i understand the question you say what is differentiated the different families bg and d it's the design the configuration of the ship so the backbone the technology in many cases the same in some cases we share even the architecture but then the peripheral mix and the specific features of the different components enabled for different applications better than others at the end they are all microcontrollers somehow general purpose but in a stellar e you have picosecond pwm you do not need in body and in body you may need more memory for protocol handling than what you need in electrification so those are examples or you may need the sigma delta dc but you don't need the sigma delta dc in a lighting control so the peripheral mix and the configuration of the products are making them suitable for a certain application more than another application another follow question as well does mean that you will also do this product qualification according to different application as well in automotive by example your your stellar e i forgot exactly the brand is used for bms used for dc dc so you will make your product qualification also done in the system level for the bms usually we don't do system level qualification but we do qualification that is tailored to the application so for example if you are doing combustion engine control you need the different grade of environmental condition than if you are doing lighting control this is what we do we qualify differently the different products depending on the target application but we usually don't qualify in system this is responsibility of our customers okay thank you you're welcome so i'm very happy because i received three questions this is not normal i mean or at least in the last sessions i have not seen so many questions that means the topic was interesting i mean thank you very much for your time for the participation as i said we are all the three days at our booth so please come and visit us we have also very good coffee so thank you very much enjoy the show have a nice day bye thank you francesco and in a few minutes we have an expert panel coming up so we continue

The following is a presentation of TFNN the Tiger technician hour with your host Basil Chapman call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 Hello Basil Chapman here on Friday the 7th of December first first Friday of the New Year 2022 and we're looking at the Dow down 29 at 36,209 so the fourth highest peak in the jetwave is where we start to get a little cautious and right here we've been taking money off our long position on Wednesday morning I blipped out for my newsletter I had it all written in to say we're going to we're going to switch from the long side to the short side and we'll have and I would have and then I if certain conditions are met but we're going to start off by actually adding the short side to the long side just for a day and if certain conditions were met the one would be taken off and we would just be left with the other I never did that I blipped it out and say you know there's just one day there's still strength in the in the Dow look at the nine moving average over the 14th period moving average so it's a very selective bifurcated market we've been along and we want to stay long as long as possible that's the objective of course and we stayed in and I missed even even in today as I was on the road going to New York I saw these things happening after the Fed came in and the Dow just kept slipping as I went from up a hundred something down to I went to plus 45 and I was watching it plus 13 then I started to go minus I said oh man I should stop somewhere and say let's quickly switch right now but of course they would have been silly and I had to just watch it but this is very interesting look the nine is still well above the 14 this stochastic only now has gone under 80% and the bank the itself is still strong so it's saying to me that there is residual strength and that there should be some kind of a bounce I suspect the bounce won't get beyond 36,500 it'll be a bounce and over a period of a couple of days going to maybe Wednesday this coming Wednesday maybe even Thursday if there isn't a really big sharp sell-off today to get that nine the green and the daily chart down towards the black 14 period moving average I because to do that you really would have to see the Dow under 36,000 I think it's going to take time that's all I think we're in look the down by the end of the day I might have to call this a sell signal it hasn't given it yet on the daily chart weekly chart is still in a buy mode in fact the Magdy did cross positive this week we'll see we're out of poses at the end of the day and the monthly chart is in leg E right up against chaff with inside track repellent zone so I I've just been saying caution caution caution we've raised a lot of cash we're waiting to fall for some of those really big big stocks that we love and we haven't got in I want to want to get into him I also have to reassess to see whether some of the stocks that we are in the technical area meaning medical technology that's that sort of scientific technology that I've done unbelievably well went to all-time highs as recently and now pulling back sharply whether or not this is time to get out of those completely taking big profits there it's going to be an interesting thing I want to take a little time because it's such an important couple of days that we've got here the S&P look that is a much deeper decline from 48 18.62 all-time high on the fourth on the daily chart peak F I draw I drew this in that expanding red formation and look what happened we took it right out and even to this moment the nine hasn't crossed under the 14 period look how long it takes and how many points it takes to me we say say that way for that to cross negative off negative off to being positive to make the cross negative stochastic down a week at 69% on balance volumes we get the price in there to be still holding well but the long-legged doji says if by Tuesday there is a close below 46 I'm just going to say 46 68 just in that 46 sixties area there's a close below that it's all over for now in the daily chart and that's going to impact the weekly chart and that says that this digestive phase I'm not saying how deep it's going to go but I am saying that it's using it's going to use up time as well as price and look at the QQQ right at the Chapman wave inside track repellent zone peak a looks like a peak a minus going to be notated right here 408.71 was all-time high and 22nd off November I discussed the potential for a head and shoulders pattern this is such an aberration of that pattern I would prefer just to go with the Chapman methodology and say that second art formation in the M pattern right there at the Chapman inside track repellent zone being just repelled at level coming down to the 380 level yesterday now 382 almost 383 just down one that says yep here as well there could be a bounce but it looks to me in the weekly chart that we have started the undertaking of seeing a cell mode in the daily and a cell signal in the weekly maybe being upgraded by early next week to a cell mode in the weekly but we haven't got there yet and look at the monthly charge is that seen the notation of the Chapman methodology with that for it's 71 all-time high let me just get rid of that because that wasn't updated and long mega doji for December Jan is a big red candle so far and what we're only five trading days into the month so we can't say but all I can say is that a close under 272 70 which is the nine period exponential moving average also takes out the uptrend up channel inside track support zone in the weekly chart and of course that would say that you've got and yet another one to one to the expansion to the downside so all I can say is that if the QQQ by Wednesday of this coming week is not trading in the 390s there's a real problem and that problem is gonna remain for a little while longer however I do see internal strength in certain sectors certain stocks and because of it there is a situation where if you are selective and I'm gonna go to that in the moment for instance in the den folks again it's just a wonderful medium here tiger financial news network then that's just a chat room it's not really a chat room people don't get chatting away we talk about stocks etc. and a couple of one in particular one of our dentists said I really like the IAC Viacom that's the B shares I believe and he came in it was somewhere in the I wouldn't be surprised it was at the 29 30 area and now it's a 36 in leg E couple of people hopped on board or had already targeted it I spent some time talking about telephone all in the media telecom media area telephone I said that is an incredible move in telephone especially when so many people are looking to maybe they've already done it and now they're just kind of stuck are moving to different resources in order to get their cable and the internet etc. so all I can say this is spectacular move in telephone going from 22 up to 2026 it's a 2638 right now 27th maybe peak C right at the 200 period exponential moving average these are kind of impressive and what was the other one com sir com SCA that's Comcast if I can ever ever ever see em CSA yep I did it good if I can ever get it right type it in correctly com sir Comcast a shares media technology trading at 50 off the low of 47.45 you know I like this biacom and I would say if anyone isn't in it or is looking to get into it any pullback towards the 53-32 in a quarter area I'd say that's a nice stepping stone at your position or maybe

educating investors call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> I've asked a lot of questions could I go through some of the overseas indices could I go through I discuss SDZ constellation brands I think it was on Wednesday when I did my show before I left and a couple of things others Costco the RTH the retail and the XRT also retail area so let me just do this let me finish up here the dollar is going sideways it's trading between 96 94 and basically 95 it's cool what was that low on the 30th that was around about 95 52 very narrow range rectangle formation however in the rectangle formation we see this in the cues as well to last a lot longer than your patience but when it breaks it can have one quick spike to the upside if the consolidation is at the higher level of the trading range of the power of the past hundred bars or so and in this particular instance we're looking at since mid-November it's been end of November it's been up in that in that higher range trading in this one point so one-and-a-half point range now my suspicion is that the dollar could have maybe one pop to the 96 90s again but that's not the issue the issue is that this pattern invariably resolves itself by breaking the support how long it does that a whole bunch of factors coming to play the magnies weak the stochastic is at 56% very weak the 9 period gone today is just showing an S forget it's in the trading range going between sell and buyers is short and long short along this is the way these notations are in the Chapman methodology 9 goes over the 14 it goes L and when it goes under it goes S and look what we've got we've got a from the peak D in the 96 94 range how important our peak is let me just show you something here while I'm thinking about I think that's correct yeah there's a peak D right there in the and this is technical Friday so let me show you something from the low that was made at 937 38 the little doji candle 467 500 low on the e-mini who could happen it ran all the way quick move peak a briefly one ball and then boom to leg be at 46 98 50 and then it stores and then what does it do it makes this cup formation with a rectangle I've just drawn this in so many charts lately that you've just got to respect this as a technique that can really help you technical Friday so we're gonna go through some of the technicals take a little time for that and look at the left side right side price time-match let me just draw you look this is the vertical line right here at oops let me just move it over this is the vertical line at 943 is it 946 946 with the higher 46 98 50 and look at the same line right here at 956 look how weak the magd is okay but it's starting to turn down the stochastic is okay but it's much lower than it was unbalanced volume is starting to turn down and within three bars kaboom everything goes down and all of a sudden you're trading from that 90 47 wasn't it 70 yeah 46 9 9 point 50 down to where we are now 20 points over almost 20 46 points 40 46 77 so that's how important these these are yep you got a G there but I'm also saying these will you lift your foot of the accelerator for a moment and assess and say well can we get an instant restart what can we get here and that's we become a little bit cautious so here we are we're looking at the dollar and the dollars being since the 30th I think I said of that call me the 30th 24th of November it's just been this sideways range and I suspect that it's going to come down so now let's look at goals in a little bit more detail gold went to peak a peak b peak c and then almost like a peak c1 c2 I'm gonna do this it isn't quite but I in the Chapman methodology this is a pretty legitimate peak c1 c2 a very quick pullback and then goes right back to within just pennies or in this case dollars of the previous high and everything starts to turn down coinciding with the potential double top peak c1 c2 c2 acts like a D and look at the manky turns down stochastic turns out on balance volume turns down so here we are this is so critical for the dollar look at this trend line and it's turning into a Chapman wave inside track buying this is this is usually the buy zone if it fails it becomes a repellent zone so this should be the propellant zone it was for a moment and now look what happened came back sharply I suspect that we're looking at the sideways move here in the a kind of a rectangle formation also within the let me just extend this you see this inside here I don't like messy charts but sometimes I have to keep things in for display purposes even though I'm looking at it slightly differently but just for educational purpose look we're still in the rectangle and all I can say if the dollar on a if the gold on a weekly basis closes under the low that was made in the week of the 17th 1753 that is really poor action however if it's able to not close under huh it's already there let's go not this Friday it's called next Friday it's given a whole week it was able to close above 1798 I'm just going to say 1800 if there is a close over 1800 regardless of what happens interweek next week it's Friday is close a week from a basically a week from today as we're speaking but have to close if gold actually manages to run it sharply as the dollar comes back down I think we have with with the talk of inflation although with the jobs today 200 000 weaker than it was supposed to be at 199 000 instead of the 400 000 I'm suggesting to you that the Fed is it stuck between a rock and a hard place we used to joke Iraq and a hard place but now a rock and a hard place the traditional expression um they want to they don't want to start raising the rates when you've got numbers like this but if the earnings the hourly earnings are starting to rise there are a whole bunch of things that are going going right for the economy together with the fact that if demand for businesses etc is increasing you would normally see rates rise well look at the rates look at the TLT the TLT is at 140 to 60 plummets from 10 points from 152.90 over 10 points from 152.99 area that it was at uh just the beginning of December that means rates now did I keep that no I didn't I'll do this what I do for my subscribers to my opening call over the weekend when I do my overview uh long it's almost like a webinar I try to get as much in as possible it's almost uh sometimes I can be almost an hour because it's they are so many this is such a critical level so many people that want to know what do we do what do we do and my contention is that in the long term we're only in leg b in this s and p in the chapter weight methodology somehow some way we should still go to a peak c higher peak c we haven't even made a peak b yet but a higher peak c and then a higher peak d and then we've got to be very very careful and that takes us all the way through the first quarter or more um so 21.09 is 2.109 is the yield on the 30 year t bond the f y x the t and x the brown one scream to the upside it's at 1.75 right now and this is leg a b c this is leg d in the weekly this is only a leg a in the 30 year but leg d what a mix of things and look at this is e a b c d e in the five year which is overlapping on this is incredible what we're looking at at 1.49 in the five year that's it's a yearly high more than a yearly

this particular point are now in an uptrend in the weekly chart they've broken the downtrend oh this is something to keep keep in mind i'm going to just take one second i need to click on this particular come this computer on the left side look at the one on the right side uh yeah a couple of questions tnx yep at 1.757 set thank you 23 build uh we're also looking at you give me one second i've got this coming up i want to do a couple of things yeah technical fridays i needed to do this give me one second got that now i need to just click on my very old old system oh and this particular computer i just love it windows live mail uh 2012 i i still love it it does exactly what i want it is so easy except it does have a little problem down again and i wanted to check paul sent uh t-mobile has taken over the phone business they tied to the oh corrupt m's ready all right i'm not getting to the politics here looking much better today so t-mobile i'll get to them in a moment but look at this the ice is wood uh is the symbol wod is the etf symbol for the global timber and forest etf holding quite nicely near the highs it's 91 58 up 40 cents right now uh peak a b c i'm not sure if that's correct uh but what we're all looking at is that the Philadelphia housing index is pulling back a little bit but it's still closer to the highs and that's really what i'm talking about when i say bifurcated means that some of the um some of the action we are seeing even with intersect and now let me just go to this i'm going to just close this out you had shown it so close workspace save yep i'll save there we go yes to all and here we go so i is a team ma's i'm trying to think of t-mobile t-m-u-s i looked at that as well the other day yep there it is uh t-mobile i didn't finish notating goes to peak c in the daily and then pulls back and that's exactly what i was talking about the reason why i stayed away from this one um is when i was looking at perhaps what could work is this one really look at the monthly chart look how deep that the decline is from the doji candle high uh and this just says to me this one is under a lot more pressure and the monthly actually this is the whole month i can't look around it as if it's closed but the the s is for sell um in the monthly chart but we've got to wait for january this is just saying at this particular moment with the whole month to go three weeks to go uh it's not acting well and the weekly chart has got the dreaded h pattern so the other ones that the more in the media like via via calm uh more like telephone very nice Verizon i didn't do that one Verizon very good action uh right at the turn to appeared moving average for Verizon not not a great but it has been stuck in the rectangle formation that rectangle formation says my rule of thumb is watch when it goes to the bottom if it holds the bottom it can start to attract towards the top question i had was could i look at some of the steel stocks have i finished everything else no i haven't but let me just do that for now since i i tend to forget about the questions because i get so busy with everything else just look at the slx which is a seal etf really nice rebound to peak c at 50 55 the main all-time high of 68.42 back in this is that sideways action with the double top cup formation then bam it goes right under it and the 50 that may 14th high week of the main 14th high now we're way down we've gone to the 50 level we're up at 55 5 but 10 percent is not bad it's holding quite nicely but look at u.s. steel look at that move 22 just under 22 to over 26 trading right now 2470 and i suspect this is the kind of flurries that you're going to see in the different sectors and we're seeing that right now with the steel stocks u.s. steel trading down eight cents at 24 69 just three days ago it was over 26 that's almost a 10 pullback and yet look at that move from the from the downside of 20 let's call it 22 up to 26 that's four points that's nearly 20 percent 18 percent so what we're all looking at here is you've got to consider exactly what's going on in each one cleveland cliffs clf clf same thing fantastic move from just about 19 under 19 all the way through the 24 and a half i just under 25 now it's a 23 24 and you can see it's done this so often and what i'm saying is cheat the character of what you're looking at as the character going forward you know a lot of people say don't think about what it's been think about what's to come and i say no what is being can tell you a tremendous amount because look cleveland cliffs has basically been an erect angle formation or an erectile will call it so what we're looking at here is look at this has a spike and then comes down has a spike to 26s back to the 19s up to the 25s and now it's pulled back and look at the rhythm jup jup it has 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 bars from 2651 back again to the exact pin to the penny top for seven points from from 19 i mean that's a huge percentage right and then it comes all the way back and goes to the same price to the downside and then all the way back up and i'm just saying to you please keep in mind that these patterns repeat and you're now the risk is at 23 37 that a chunk of the upside move is as has been made and now has to pull back a little bit to reestablish a base in the 22 21 area and then maybe a sauce move above 25 and then it gets reversed again i don't think so i think that the body of trading in the in the candle says that this could start to fail kind of round about here and then you start to get your big red candles coming in so please any move in cleven cliffs flat roll steel iron all pellets took over ak steel which we used to use as trading vehicle any move that closes above 25 25 says fabulous action no we want to go towards 2650s and then come back down again or maybe even break out but at this particular point i think this is an emotional thing saying the the the plan of the plan of the infrastructure i just don't see this plan be implemented right now i think it has to install them to install for a little longer to keep that in mind let's just have a look at cx they came in a few days ago and i forgot to look at it yeah this ran up to peak e peak f and now it's pulling back from peak f in the chapel methodology this is c max s a this is a mexican cement company when it comes to infrastructure they should be real winners but it's pulled back from 6.93 to the five point it's right now 6.54 and i think it's going to be pulling back a little further but keep this in mind this is one of those very low priced ones that has fabulous percentage moves to the upside because 1.55 all the way to nine back in 2020 going to the high and mid 2021 and then it pulls back about uh not quite 50 percent not not quite 30 percent 33 percent it's kind of in the middle there so keep in mind you've got to be very selective here now a couple of questions came in um cleven cliffs uh clf and a question came in should i take profits here i would rather let the chart tell you rather than me because the magnet is good so castix at 18 percent on balance volume is weak a little bit what i am going to say is why don't you take a little bit off there 2326 but if it goes into the gap the pullback could start to become very severe and that means a low below the low of three days ago 2379 uh any any trade below 2375 and i'd say yeah i think well are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in the bay area including the surrounding st petersburg tampa and

attempts but i what i said to subscribers i wouldn't be surprised if you saw it's the lower highs and low lows as we in this consolidation phase and now we've got catch up you know this is not the catch up for hamburgers this catch up in the in the dow having pulled back for three sessions copying now the weakness of the other indices and that to me says a lot because now we're getting great selectivity look at the estimators oh wait i didn't finish i have to finish we went to gold and now i want to look at silver i had a question could you please finish all the commodities look at this arch formation the dreaded age pattern and that's just saying to me you've got to be even that's what i've been saying bifurcation is everywhere it's even within sectors look within the metals you've got gold holding quite well there's the silver look at that monthly chart that is i mean even here well it's the first week of january but it has got an s for a sign to say that the nine period in the monthly has gone underneath the 14 in the week it's already been that way way back from the 16th week of the 16th of july we went across over negative what a wonderful tool this is now the next thing we're looking at is the weekly cell mode remains in place the monthly cell mode and silver remains in place and that's the reason why i'm saying that there's this tremendous selectivity and if you put it together with bitcoin bitcoin's trying every every day tries to hold and it can't and it's fading it's at 41,090 uh 41,100 down 2100 and it's just look at this uppercase it looks like the eiffel tower straight up straight down to the weekly peak d uh the monthly leg d goes to a peak d it's the same thing and i've been saying for a while that we've got to be very selective here and if you're doing any if you're playing any of these and you i can only call it playing because we don't have a a signal to say the buy mode is even close to in place there's nothing it's a cell mode in all the time frames and that's just saying that money and this is what happens the areas that have had the greatest success when the general market starts to turn down and that's the reason why gold sometimes you think it's going to have a fantastic move because the market's pulling back and such an inflation blah blah blah whatever it is and all of a sudden your gold stocks are acting very poorly and you say why is that because sectors that earlier on had a good move sometimes are used to fund um what the weakness that's coming in and people want to raise cash and they raise cash in the areas that were good now what i am looking at here is within the bitcoin it's gone underneath the left side low and that's really important and it says we're going to have a whole week next week in which you want to see bitcoin this is the future's bitcoin futures continuous contract close above the low of the week of the 24th of september i'm saying september do you realize that that's where's that four months yeah four months ago um so that what we're looking at is no five months ago almost five we're into the fifth month that's 41,165 if there is a close above that it says nice you've got a little bit of support there but a close certainly on a weekly basis below i would say 39,500 says uh oh this is a big problem for bitcoin money is not coming out and that's the reason why it's surprising to see that gold which which is now down again down two points is not participating as a place to go to and that says to me that you're starting to see weakness in sectors that have held well now i'm going to go back to this smh's to say rectangle formation going all the way back from the low of perhaps let's call it november in the two nineties spirals to the all-time high with 18.82 to 22nd of november and what have i been saying for months i've been saying it's uncanny actually it's for years you remember even the pull the drop that we saw over the last what was it going to the mastering third low where we started to go along of last year of 2020 i said it's amazing how many times weeks go by days go by weeks go by even months and sometimes even years how prices love to go back like a magnet like it's like like fund managers said oh i remember 222 whatever it is on such and such and we're at 110 i think we're going back and then finally it gets 222 within pennies and then it pulls back and what do we see the smh's went within pennies of the 318.82 november the 22nd high after going back down under 290 that's 30 points of 10 correction kaboom it has a rally to 318.69 just four days four sessions ago and here it is failing it's down eight right now 297.97 and that's what i'm saying that even with insect as we said hey wait a minute applied materials was looking fantastic went to an all-time high in an alternate count f slash c in the 162 area just above the 159 round number over the 16th of november and here it is down at 152 we're looking at advanced micro devices and i said when we had a call a question the other day we were in the 155 area and i said you know this looks to me like it's making the dreaded age pattern yes at 132.44 down 379 advanced micro devices peak g in the daily 164.46 all-time high back in the end of november look at the weekly chart peak d i might dreaded age pattern here in the weekly and the g slash b in the monthly chart so we don't have to do what the monthly just yet because we have to wait for a lot of things to happen and look at this you've got uh what was that fantastic stock marvel i kept saying what an amazing company all-time high of 93.85 great earnings bounces up around about the first week of december gaps up doesn't even full the gap it goes above it closes above it for a whole bunch of sessions comes back in still hasn't taken out the low of the gap going below 80 it's trading at 82 right now it's on its way in the dreaded age pattern to test very significant support at 80 and that's the reason why we've raised cash a lot of cash and we are very selective right now and all i can say is that when i'm looking at these semis the s o x s and i had questions about look how tough it is i had to buy and then i took it off on wednesday of the s at the open i was going to say buy the s s o x s the three times short but what is that i don't know who that is i'm not interested let me just get rid of that right i'm in uh mensa i don't know what that is and i don't even know why it's here how did that come about all right so how can i get rid of this i don't even see an x here all right there it doesn't matter um what we're looking at is the s o x s is a 379 380 but the day that i wanted it i took it off the list i said no i'm not going to do anything why i just don't know where to put the stop so if we have bought at 319 at the open at the open uh that was on was that wednesday when what's the friday thursday went out was wednesday so wednesday at the open of 334 i would have said let's have and i would have put in a fairly tight stop it went down to 324 so 10 cents i mean that's that's a lot that's a lot that's more than three percent on the downside and now it's turning to 380 and this is just saying to me that even in the areas that um even in the areas that are working towards the short side it's really tough to actually play this right now 380 question came in would you buy the s o x s right now and i'd say i would buy it but i would not put the same kind of position on it i would have put before i just leveled at 380 and i'd hope for some kind of a feedback to the 362 level maybe to add but you could have to have a wide stop because even here it could be a sub bias but yes i do think that it makes us want to go to testing uh sharpening your skills as an
