A very good evening aspirants, welcome to the Hindu newspaper analysis brought to you by Shankarayesh academy for the date 24th of July 2022. So these are the list of news articles that we are going to discuss today. Now without wasting much time let us get into the first news article discussion. Take a look at this FAQ news article. This article is related to a termination of pregnancy of an unmarried woman. An unmarried woman went to Delhi High Court to get permission to end her pregnancy. But the Delhi High Court refused to allow her. So she appealed to Supreme Court. The Supreme Court allowed her to end the pregnancy at 24 weeks. The top court said if a medical board assessed that the pregnancy could be terminated without any harm to the mother then she could go ahead and have an abortion under MTP Act. So this is the crux of the news article given here. See in this news article discussion we are not going to cover the entire provisions of medical termination of pregnancy act that is MTP Act. If you want to know about the detailed provision of this act I request you to watch our March 11th Hindi newspaper analysis video. Today we will discuss about the High Court ruling and Supreme Court's decision and the significance of this decision in detail. Before that the syllabus relevant to this news article is highlighted here for your reference. Just go through it. So here I have mentioned some of the basic provisions about MTP Act. Just have a look at this. Here you can notice that only the word pregnant woman is mentioned. Whether she could be married or unmarried is not clearly stated. Also the word partner is mentioned instead of husband. You will understand why we are discussing this at the end of the discussion. Now we will see different interpretation by High Court and the Supreme Court. See we already saw that the unmarried woman went to High Court first before appealing to Supreme Court. Her plea was that she had a consensual relationship with her partner. But he had refused to marry her after she discovered her pregnancy at about 22 weeks. We know that being unmarried and raising a child is a stigma in our society. So she decided to terminate her pregnancy. So when the woman approached the Delhi High Court, the Delhi High Court said that the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act allows only married women to terminate the pregnancy after 20 weeks. So as she is unmarried, she would not be eligible for abortion. The court that is the Delhi High Court further said it would amount to killing the fetus since she was in the 23rd week of her pregnancy. The court suggested to give birth to the child and offer up the child for adoption. So not satisfied with the decision of Delhi High Court, she appealed to Supreme Court. So now what did the Supreme Court said? See here the Supreme Court took a broad view of the issue. The Supreme Court said the MTP Act which was amended in 2021 has the word partner instead of husband. So it expresses the intention of the law that not only married women but also unmarried women was also eligible for abortion. The judge said that the petition could not be denied the benefit of law on the grounds that she was unmarried. The compassionate judges noted that the woman had already stated that she was the eldest of five siblings in a family of agriculturalist and she had a BA degree without an adequate income. So it will be difficult for her to raise the child by herself. Further the bench of the Supreme Court directed the director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences that is AIMS to set up a medical board of two doctors to examine the woman. Supreme Court asked to determine whether it was safe to terminate the pregnancy at this stage without affecting the life of the mother. If AIMS opinions that it is safe to conduct abortion then she can abort the fetus. Now what is the significance of this decision? You have to make note of this point. See we all know that as per the MTP Act all women are allowed to get a medical termination of pregnancy before 20 weeks. But only certain categories of women are allowed to have an abortion between 20 and 24 weeks. For example survivors of rape, minors and married women whose relationship status has altered during this period can have an abortion between 20 and 24 weeks. Now the Supreme Court expanded the law to include unmarried women as part of the MTP Act. So this has given women in similar circumstances an option now to access healthcare services without having to travel the long legal route to the top court every time. And allowing unmarried women to medically terminate pregnancies while also protecting the privacy of the person seeking an abortion will give women the reproductive rights. They are entitled to. So these are some of the points that you have to make note of from this FAQ news article. A very important news article make note of it. So these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. See this article here. It says that continental automotive India private limited is focusing on localization to scale up its business. See it is a wholly owned subsidiary of continental AG of Germany and this is about the news article given here. In this context let us briefly understand about what is this localization and its significance to India. So what is localization? See localization is the process of adopting a product or content to a specific market. Here a slight difference is made to make it appealing to the linguistic business cultural and social pattern of the target audience belonging to that particular market. So for your better understanding let me give you an example here. Let us take the automobile industry. More specifically cars. Let us take cars. See every car has a steering wheel right. But we all have seen in movies that sometimes it will be located on the left side and sometimes on the right side. And this is to carter the audience in the local market and according to the laws of the land. So in other words personalizing a product or a content to a specific market is called localization. So this is one aspect of localization. Another aspect is simply about the location. I hope you have been heard about localization of data a lot of times in the news. There they are mentioning about the location. See before foreign companies develop products in their country and later bring them to India. But now India is promoting localization. That is India is encouraging foreign companies to open factories and manufacturing units in India. So this is another aspect of localization. So with this information let us see why localization is important from Indian perspective. See the first and foremost reason is to bring down the trade deficit. We all know trade deficit occurs when they import or more than the exports. Even in next day's discussion we saw about trade deficit. So when a foreign company have manufacturing unit in their country there is a need for importing the products to meet the demand in India. So if we promote localization that is if manufacturing units are established in India then their imports cost can be reduced. And also know that it causes the inflow of foreign investment into India. So this is the first reason. The next reason is that it will increase the output of the country and in turn it will add to the GDP of the country. So this will help in the achievement of 5 trillion dollar economy by 2024 to 25 envisioned by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. And the next reason is the employment. See if manufacturing units are going to be opened in India then it will help in increasing the employment of Indians. Thus bringing down the unemployment ratio. Adding to this we all know about India's demographic dividend right. Demographic dividend is nothing but the growth in an economy that is the result of a change in the age structure of a country's population. Or in other words the growth in economy because of the utilization of available working population to the full extent is called demographic dividend. So localization will actually help in utilizing this demographic dividend of India. More working population will be employed in the manufacturing unit. So now coming to companies perspective. So why this continental automotive India private limiter is focusing on localization in India. See the answer is very simple because India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has an exceptional market potential. Apart from this India has undergone more social and economic changes in the past years than any other country. So the foreign companies find India a potential market for their products. Along with that India is considered as economic powerhouse. For example according to the International Monetary Fund the country currently accounts for roughly 15% of all global economic growth. Secondly it is a vital global market. To set that by 2025 India will be the world's third largest consumer market with the largest middle class on the planet. And finally it is predicted that there will be explosive growth in India. This is according to the World Economic Forum. It predicts that there will be a 4 times increase in consumer spending by 2030. And this will be fueled by a projected 1 billion internet users. So because of these reasons the company finds localization will scale up their business in India. So these are also of the important points that you have to know about localization. In this news article discussion we saw two aspects of localization. One is based on a market and another is based on location. Then we saw why localization is important from Indian perspective. It helps in reducing trade deficit. It will increase the output of the country and in turn it will add to the GDP of the country. Then the next reason is employment and it helps in utilizing the demographic dividend of India effectively. So with these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. See this article here. It says that the World Health Organization that is WHO has declared the global monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. That is PHEIC. See as per the article the monkeypox outbreak has affected more than 14,500 people in 72 countries. And this is about the news article given here. In this context let us understand when a public health emergency of international concern that is PHEIC is declared. Before seeing about that you should know about IHR. See IHR is expanded as the international health regulations. It was established in the year 2005. It represents a binding international legal agreement involving all the member states of WHO. Their aim is to help the international community prevent and respond to actual public health risks that have the potential to cross borders and threaten people worldwide. And based on this regulation only a particular disease is categorized as PHEIC. So now let us see what is a PHEIC. See a PHEIC is defined in the IHR as an extraordinary event which is determined to constitute a public health risk to other states through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinator international response. So this definition implies firstly a situation that is serious sudden unusual or unexpected. Secondly it carries implications for public health beyond the affected states national border. And thirdly it may require immediate international action. So such kind of diseases are declared as PHEIC. Know that the emergency committee is under IHR or made of experts and they provide technical advice to WHO director general in the context of a PHEIC. The committee provides view on whether the event constitute a public health emergency of international concern or not. Then it provides temporary recommendations that should be taken by the country experiencing an emergency of international concern. And it also provides views on recommendation for other countries to prevent or reduce the international spread of disease and avoid unnecessary interference with international trade and travel. And remember this emergency committee makes recommendation on the termination of a PHEIC also. Though the recommendations are given by them the director general makes the final determination of a PHEIC and the temporary recommendations to address the situation based on advice from the emergency committee. See under the IHR 2005 temporary recommendations actually expire 3 months after their issuance. So emergency committee or therefore reconvened at least every 3 months to review the current epidemiological situation and to review whether the event continues to be a public health emergency of international concern or not. And it also reviews whether changes needed to be made to the temporary recommendations or not. So now coming to the article see we already saw that monkeypox is declared as PHEIC as per the article as of now the countries are grouped into 3 categories. First is countries with no reported cases or where the last case was from 21 days ago. Secondly countries with recent imported cases and experiencing human to human transmission and finally countries where cases are being reported and have a history of the presence of the virus. And it is also said that the guidelines directed the countries to step up surveillance spread awareness and ensure that at risk groups or not stigmatized. So that's all about this news article discussion. In this news article discussion we saw in briefly about PHEIC that is public health emergency of international concern and we saw when a disease is declared as PHEIC. We saw about the international health regulations that is IHR and then we saw about the emergency committee under IHR as well. So these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Take a look at this article it says that more than 50% of habitats of bad species in the southern western parts lie outside protected area. And as per the article this is the reason for increasing threats faced by the animals. The threats include poaching for meat, habitat loss and stigma from local communities especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. So this is the essence of the news article given here and the article mentions six major biodiversity hotspots. So in this discussion we are going to focus on that aspect alone. The six major biodiversity hotspots mentioned in the article include Agastya MLA, Periyar Tiger Reserve, Aanei MLA, the Neel Giris, the Vayanad, Mudu MLA complex and Brahma Giri. See knowing about the location of all these major biodiversity hotspots is very important because there might be a map based match the following question in the preliminary examination. So first let us see about Agastya MLA. Know that it is a biosphere reserve. It is located in the southern most end of the western Ghats. Three wildlife sanctuaries that is the Shendurne, Pepara and Neyar are located in the site. As well as the Kala card Mundandurai Tiger Reserve lies near to it. The reserve is home to Kani tribes from both Tamil Nadu and Kerala. So in this image you can see the Agastya MLA biosphere reserve here. It also has other biosphere reserves. Go through everything it will be like a revision for you. Now let us move on to Periyar Tiger Reserve. It is located in Kerala, the major rivers through the reserve are Mulyar and Periyar. The forest types include tropical evergreen forest, tropical semi-evergreen forest, moist deciduous forest, grasslands and eucalyptus plantations. So you can see the location in this map. The next hotspot is Arne MLA. It is located on the southern side of the south western Ghats landscape. It is surrounded by Parambi Kullam Tiger Reserve on the east, Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary and Erawi Kullam National Park on the southwestern side. It was declared as a Tiger Reserve in the year 2007. So you can see Arne MLA here. Now coming to Neelgiris. It is a biosphere reserve. It is known for its biodiversity. It is rich in flora and fauna and it has the tropical forest biome. You can see Neelgiris in the image given here. And the next one is Vayanad Mudumalai. See Mudumalai is the first sanctuary to be set in India and forms part of the Jawaharlal Neeru National Park. It extends over an area of 321 square kilometers in the junction of the three states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. A variety of habitats ranging from tropical evergreen forest, moist deserious forest, moist thick forest, dry thick forest, secondary grasslands and swamps are found here. Vayanad Wildlife Sanctuary is contiguous to the protected area of Nahahole and Bandipur of Karnataka on the northeast and Mudumalai of Tamil Nadu on the southeast. So the entire stretch from Vayanad and Mudumalai is classified under protected area. See Vayanad Sanctuary is an integral part of the Neelgiris biosphere reserve and it is rich in biodiversity. The forest types include South Indian moist deserious forest, west coast semi evergreen forest and plantations of teak, eucalyptus and grivelia. So now finally the Brahmagiri wildlife sanctuary, it is also a part of western Ghats and it is located in Karnataka. The forest includes evergreen and semi evergreen forest and even grasslands. It is also rich in biodiversity. So that's all about this news article. In this news article discussion we saw about 6 important biodiversity hotspots that you have to remember with respect to preliminary examination. So with these learnt points now let us move on to the next part of the news article discussion that is the preliminary practice question discussion. Today we have three preliminary practice questions. We will discuss two questions and one question is quiz question for you. Solve the quiz question and post the correct answer either in the comment section or you can vote your answer in the poll section. So look at this first question. This question is about public health emergency of international concern that is BHEIC. Consider the following statements regarding BHEIC. Statement one, the countries declare BHEIC where the outbreak has started initially. Statement two, only five diseases are declared as public health emergency of international concern so far. Which of the statements given above is our or correct? Option A, one only. Option B, two only. Option C both one and two and option D neither one nor two. See the correct answer for the question is option D neither one nor two because both the questions are incorrect. Statement one is incorrect because we saw in the discussion itself a director general of WHO makes the final determination of a BHEIC. It is not something a country declares. So this statement is incorrect. Statement two is also incorrect because seven evens were declared BHEIC between 2007 and 2020. The first one in 2009 is H1N1 influenza pandemic. Then the Ebola outbreak. This Ebola outbreak happened twice. One is West Africa outbreak in 2013 to 2015. Another one is outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo 2018 to 2020. So this is the only instance in which same disease happened in two different events. Then comes the polio myelitis 2014 to present. Then comes Zika virus in 2016 and most recently COVID-19 2022 present and recently MENCHIPOX which is just now announced as BHEIC. So BHEIC were declared seven times and it is for the outbreak of six diseases in two events BHEIC was declared twice for the same disease which is Ebola. So this statement becomes incorrect. So the correct answer for the question is option D neither one nor two. Now moving on this question is about localization with reference to localization which of the following statements are incorrect. So you have to choose the incorrect statement. Option A localization helps in increasing the unemployment rate of the country. Option B localization leads to increase in foreign investment of the country. Option C localization reduces the current account deficit of a country and option D localization helps in increasing the employment rate of the country. So you have to choose the incorrect statement. Option A is incorrect because localization helps in decreasing the unemployment rate of the country. So in this statement it is given in the opposite manner. So this statement is incorrect. Other statements are correct because we saw that in our discussion itself. So moving on to the quiz question. This question is about protected area. This question was asked in the year 2019. Try to answer this question. Just give it a try. I'll post the correct answer in the comment section. So now moving on displayed here is the main question for today's discussion. Please go through the question, write an answer and post it in the comment section. So with this we came to the end of the news article discussion.

I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to less show right now We've got all the U.S. Indices trading north the Dow is up 415 the S&P 58 The Aztec 100 255 Brussels up 8 Summize up 64 5 Trends up to 48 New York Stock Exchange up 160 Gold is back 7 bucks silver down 2 pennies lights We could up a buck 38 the leaders to the upside dollar wise alphabet or Google up 65 Amazon is up 56 a poll layup 40 micro strategy 29 Netflix up 27 to the downside Equinix off 23 bucks marata therapeutics down 11 carvana off 8 chart industries down 6 and Novavax is off 6 It's about 4% to the downside the first question that we've got inside the Tigers den is from John and John wants to take a look at the TLT and the 30 year Treasury Future contract That's what we're really going to go to is the 30 year Treasury contact contract So let me get over to that where we start that start start right here. Yeah, we're gonna start here Because this will answer John's question specifically, which is With an eye to keep support levels So would you kindly do a full review of the 30 year Treasury with an eye to keep support levels and lower targets of these those levels break Many things absolutely. So John what I have in the upper left hand corner is really the Chart that will answer that question for us. So I have the 30 year Treasury it was in a consolidation pattern and We had a break of that consolidation pattern a few days ago And once you break a consolidation That suggests that you have a measured move equal to or greater than a consolidation now The consolidation break really took place. I'd say on the trading day of September 27th on the trading day of September I'm sorry except that on the trading day of September 30th a brand new bullet structured profile form We know how important those profiles are price right now is sitting on that support level that support levels 15908 So John if there's a close below a bullet structured profile 15909 that's going to be a suggestion that price will go ahead and make that price target that price target It's in the 156 level now if we take a look at the weekly time frame We're only two days into not even a full you know day and a half into the week But we can't see the prices trading below the bottom of that weekly profile 160 13 The last level of profile support that would be out here is coming from the monthly time frame and that's up at the 159 12 level so you got 159 10 again a close below that Pretty much a good indication that price should make its way back into that, you know around the 156 18 area well, we're not going to try to get this right to the tee But that would be your indication of a move lower now you might wait until you get a close below the swing points of either September 29th 158 22 Yeah, 158 22 would be doble a geek confirmation and possibly set up an A to B equal CD to downside So that's what I see when we take a look at the 30-year Treasury I don't I'm looking at my other charts on my other screen out here the eight panel set of charts just to see if there's anything else Worth while to share with you and I don't see anything So hope that helps y'all with regard to the 30-year Treasury the key level of support that it's trading into right now And if it breaks that level where prices likely headed to so thanks so much for the question Let's go back and take a look at the equity market see what's going on here And as we get back to these charts give me a moment to get there Let's take a look at our Taz daily profiles So here there is a brand new profile that is attempting to form inside the ES mini I'm gonna make that easier for you to see as I turn price off Just give me a moment to get that done now like yesterday there was a new profile That was attempting to form it did not actually take hold and now we've got a new profile that is also attempting to form So that bottom this is a bullish structured profile at the moment as 111 in the afternoon the bottom of that profiles at 4281 the center 4344 in the top is that 4408 typically when you close above the top of a bullish structured profile price will make a run for the top of that Profile in this case here that would be at 4408 So we'll turn price back on we are trading just above the center of that profile 4344 So that would be a level to watch now recall or remember it can't recall But remember this profile will not confirm until 601 this evening But let's use the information that we have available to us right now in the case of the NQ In order to generate a bullish reversal candle that would be a bull sash candle price needs to close above yesterday's open yesterday's open is Is 14785 that's a number to put down on a pad of paper why because if you get that bull sash candle Then you will see all four equity future contracts have valid bottoming patterns out there What happens if price doesn't close above well price doesn't close above it We don't have that signal inside of the NQ But then here's where you have the fly in the financial ointment so to speak and that fly is Give me a moment here to get to the flies is going to be this chart because whereas we do not have a confirmed Gartley by pattern inside the NQ right now. We do have that pattern inside of the NDX 100 And so it looks like this here's the a to b point give me a second I'll just kind of draw that in with a line tool out here. There's your a to b Almost got it down there. It's really close enough for our work right now And I'm just going to take this line move this to the C point out there So there we go You can see that right now You've got the completed one to one a to b equal CD pattern and if you get a bullish reversal candle Which we have right now that's going to signal a Gartley by pattern in the NDX 100 now We can see that that oscillator and change line change colors about four or five trading sessions ago So if we get that bullish reversal candle today That would then at least suggest that price would make its way up to that level that level right now It's printed out of 14 962 that level will change slightly by a few bucks, but that becomes the range out there So the the more ideal setup would be a confirmation in the futures contract if we don't what does that mean? I'm not sure to tell you the truth I have to go up and have to go back and do a bunch of studying out there And see if we can figure that out in the meantime if we take a look at the Dow equity future contract It did generate that new profile yesterday prices above the bottom of profile 34 003 next target here for the Dow equity future contract 34 468 the Russell 2000 also has a new profile that formed yesterday 2207 in support 2266 is the resistance level Steve Rhodes with TF and I would love to hear from you give us a call at 877 927 6 6 400 send me an email steve at tfnn.com Steve Rhodes started his trading career as a student almost 20 years ago and the student has now become the master Steve won the prestigious timer of the year award in 2018 and barely missed that mark again in 2019 Finishing it number two for the year an amazing accomplishment Steve Rhodes is committed to sharing his techniques and knowledge with anyone who wants to learn and he shares his vast amount of trading knowledge Every day in his mastering probability newsletter steve's award-winning newsletter Mastering probability is delivered every trading day with updates throughout the afternoon sign up for steve's market newsletter Mastering probability and you'll receive access to seven of steve's educational webinars Absolutely free at TFNN all our newsletters come with a 30-day money-back guarantee So you have absolutely nothing to worry about visit TFNN.com and try mastering Probability 30 days risk-free today TFNN educating investors What's separating you from the most successful men and women on Wall Street?

We got a question that came in from David H David right since I say Steve Do you think Expedia will hit the high of 179 59 made on June 1st by this Friday? Hmm. Well, I'm not really that great with regard to being able to predict where price will go in the next three days out Here, but let's go take a look at the tool Let's go take a look at what Expedia is communicating to you and I at this stage here So as we take a look at profile levels out here, there's nothing to suggest That price won't be able to move higher because price above the top of the daily weekly and monthly profile So those charts are not really going to do us a whole heck of a lot of good. We need to go take a look at Stevie's white background chart So let's go take a look at the daily timeframe first. What do we see here? Well, what we see here David is that it's possible that today is going to generate a bearish reversal candle That will confirm a roads went to Mindicator top. We also see Let the oscillator and change line change colors It looks like maybe about a week and a half ago or so it went from red to green And if you get this confirmed top here today, that's going to suggest at least price moves back to 165 41 And I would say it would likely move lower before it moves higher from a resistance standpoint on the daily basis 178 33 as a TD 9 at breakdown level every time price has gotten up into that level It has turned back. So You're gonna ask you're asking me about 179 59 and I'm gonna say no not likely Out here first you're gonna look at price getting back to the 165 41 level and then if price can bounce off of that Then that could say okay. I'm gonna go run up to that 178 area. That's coming from the daily chart Let's go look at a weekly chart out here Well the weekly chart shows that the real significant resistance levels 173 96 just and that's the TD 9 Breakdown area just as 140 210 was a key level of support. This is the weekly chart for expedient So it can't bust it up for this says price pulls back to the 164 57 area the weekly oscillator and change line The monthly chart has a TD 9 count topping pattern out here now price did pull back Tested support both the top of its profile as well as it's oscillator and change line So this is strong the weekly says hey the the longer term outlook Maybe not so bad the signal right now is neutral to bullish But the daily and weekly are saying I think I want to make a move lower 165 42 or so if I look at the intraday charts out here Just looking for some signal see if there's anything else that I can see to assist you the 195 says yeah be careful I could pull back to 162 58 130 minute charts is 166 98 So it looks to me out here David like a price for Expedia wants to head lower before it then decides to head higher Excuse me Let me take a swig of water must have got a fur ball While I was breathing okie-dokie. So that's it for Expedia. I thanks so much for writing in David have a great day Let's go to our next question. This one coming in from G7 Yeah, that's that's all of the G7 out there and G7 wants to take a look at the semiconductor Nick so let's go take a look at the SMH is the ETF that represents that and Right now we know that the SMH is pulled back and found support G7 at the bottom of its weekly profile That's 24803 That's gonna be a key area to watch because a close below that would then suggest that price would pull back to the bottom of its Monthly profile at 234 31. Let's go take a look at the SMH is on the daily base See if we can see any signals out here and as we open up the daily chart. What do we see? We see that in fact price is pulled back to test a key level of support It's breakout area 250 201 So that says at this stage, although I don't have any kind of a well I take that back. You're gonna get a confirmed appears that you will get appears days not over Price has to close above the open from yesterday that open from yesterday was 254 56 your 254 80 if price does close above that you will then get a bull sash candle That will confirm a buy the D point pattern out here That would also suggest that price will run up to its oscillator and change line which is red But it changed colors about three bars ago So it looks to me like the SMH is are gonna go target at 262 level if it turns down from there It was just a counter trend move when we look at the weekly time frame chart out here Nothing really to add to the picture. It did top with wave number seven and last week was a roadsman dominicator signal But prices held when I say prices held the bottom of that weekly profile at 248 oh three If I look at a quick short-term chart the 30 minute out here This confirmed a roadsman dominicator bottom prices right up at resistance, which is 254 96 It has not yet generated a TD 9 count top price needs to close above not close above price needs to spike above 255 12 if it does that during this session which ends in seven minutes or the next session that ends at two Then you'll have a TD 9 count top and that would suggest that price will likely pull back to about the 251 84 level So the SMH is Right now on the short-term time frame if it does pull back what it's gonna do It's gonna jeopardize that bull sash candle on the daily time frame So I don't know if you were trying to make some decisions about the SMH is if you were trying to take a long position I'd wait wait to see how that short-term 30-minute chart plays out and whether or not you get that bullish Reversal candle inside the daily time frame for the SMH is so hope that helps you out. Thanks so much for the request Well if you're setting up another short on the SMH's just wait for that TD 9 count to complete Inside of the 30-minute chart remember it's got a spike higher in order to generate that signal for you So no other questions at this stage here get<PHONE_NUMBER> is the number Let's take a look at now. Let's spend our time. Let's go take a look at gold silver Let's do that by Taking a look at Stevie's eight panel charts out here. So let's take a moment get over I'm just gonna find it. There we go and switch the screens here that way You'll be looking at the same thing that I am and that's gonna be our eight panel gold chart So as we take a look at it, what do we know? First just looking at the intraday charts out here to see if we've got any kind of real signals to assist us and Not really on the short-term time frame So let's take a look at the 30 minute And on the 30-minute chart try to get a gauge for where gold is likely headed to So as it makes its bottom out here It was just simply coming back and retesting a TD 9 breakout level that held Low that pattern held prices above the top of its profiles out here And so therefore if we see a move above a close above<PHONE_NUMBER> 190 that should take price up to the 1770 level That's a top or that is its TD 9 breakdown resistance area If in fact a price can get above that that would be short-term bullish for Goldilocks on a daily time frame out here The key level that gold needs to close above well It's already above it the key level that it needs to hold is 1752 that is its red oscillator and changeline So gold has a confirmed Gertley by pattern It did that with the bullish engulfing candle from about four trading sessions ago And as long as price holds 1752 90 price should continue to move higher I'd use that 30-minute chart out here as that gauge again anything over 1761 will suggest a move to that 1770 area. So that's what the gold charts tell us Let's go take a look at high hose silver as we pull these over We're gonna see that we're about to come to a breakout here So we'll review this when we get back but in the case of us over We're really still waiting for in the daily time frame is a bullish reversal candle We don't have that out here. So what does that mean? Look supporters held on the weekly basis that support being the TD9 count at this stage here Silver's got some resistance at the bottom of its daily profile.

Let me make sure I've got that correct Yeah, I do top of the box is yeah 169. I'm sorry. I take that back 169 30 is the top of the profile price straight at 169 35 So you're right in the resistance level out there. There's no resistance on the weekly Or the monthly timeframe from a profile standpoint. So let's pull over the other jp morgan charts as prices trading to that resistance level What else is it doing? Aha Yesterday was a bar number eight of a td9 count. So it's going to form a td9 count pattern today So what does that mean? What I would do if you're a long jp morgan We remember we I don't know if you remember but and I don't think I mentioned it But the weekly and the the monthly were both above their profiles I think I did say that because there was no resistance level. So your resistance is really here. There's a topping pattern Inside of jp morgan. So that says that the the high could be yesterday because that'll take out yesterday's high or it could be tomorrow Out there. So be careful now when a topping pattern exists You typically see some type of signal in the short term timeframe So we'll get to those but let's just take a quick peek at the weekly and the monthly on the weekly basis out here Everything looks pretty good. You've got a erosement to indicator signal But that needs a bearish reversal candle on a weekly basis to confirm some type of top So longer term or intermediate term looks good longer term on a weekly basis price right now is trading above the high from june of 2021 Or early in the month, but a close above 167 44 Would be a very bullish message on a monthly base for jp morgan In the short term a 30 minute timeframe chart. I don't really have much in the way of signal So it's not saying that the top is necessarily here at the moment on a 65 minute chart We didn't have erosement to indicator top, but if price takes out that high that high would be 170 44 That would be a bullish outcome 130 minute chart that has a erosement to indicator top as well 195 does not So with regard to jp morgan I would be just simply cautious at this stage or I should have me add to a position would I short it Not not not at this stage here because we haven't seen any key breaks of support out here So but it does look like it's getting ready to set up a short term top which may have formed yesterday Or it could be tomorrow out there. I hope that helps you out. I think that is george in tampa Thanks so much for the request We had another request inside the tiger's den to take a look at fang And as we take a look at fang out here this formed a td9 count top yesterday today is a higher high We know that that top can take place on the bar following bar number nine if it does We don't know that it will or not But if it does that that's going to then it suggests a move back to the top of its profile Which is at 97 43 If price get below that then it would be the oscillator and change line currently printed in 94 95 But it'll be lower than that if in fact price moves downward Let's look at a weekly time frame chart out here. See if there's any other signals for fang Let's populate it and as we do not no signals there. It looks pretty good So just the daily and on the 30 minute chart out here Whoops, that's the weekly on the 30 minute chart. You do have the rogement dominicator pattern Uh No td9. Okay. So the key level of support that that would need to be broken To would be 97 71 if prices pulls back to that level inside the fang That is your buy the dip opportunity So to speak that's a 30 minute td9 count breakout level If you do get too consecutive closes below 10349 on the 30 minute basis That would then signal that move back to the 97 71 level. So I know that you sold half of your position So a good job there. I don't have anything here to suggest that you sell the other half at this stage And if price were to close above today's high or whatever the high is today You know that that's going to be a strong momentum Move to the upside at least that would be its message. So without a real good short-term signal out here I like what you did I would just hang with that half the other half right now and let's see how tomorrow plays out Thanks so much for the request. I have one other request which is to take a look at natural gas now Let me try to get natural gas going on my white background charts out here I think it is november. Yeah that we're trading and this is from Michael and Michael wanted to take a look at let me see here the question Just sold your boil at 95. Where does natural gas look like it's heading? And so let's go take let me pull up the natural gas contracts Give me a moment here to Find it let's recruit natural gas Okay, I guess I guess I just only have these out here. So we take a look at natural gas. Well Uh this actually a price closes Today and it is the november contract that is the uh Is the active contract if price closes above the high from september 28th, Michael Now with six dollars and 31 cents and you're at 6 34 right now That will be bullish because that was your Uh three river evening star pattern that had confirmed a Sell the deep point might even been a road's momentum indicator signal. Let me see out here Yeah, it was even a road's momentum indicator signal. So let's pull over my white background charts And it might give us a better view of what's going on inside of natural gas So here you can see when I say here you can see I'm referring to september 28th Price gets up there. I get wave number seven that can always be a topping signal You can see it generate that roads momentum indicator Triggered and triggered a roads momentum indicator signal But that needs a bearish reversal candle, which you actually got on september 29th But that oscillator and change line is green And you can see how price has held the top of that profile it has held that oscillator and change line And that's really a very bullish message nonetheless If price does not close above that 6 31 6.318 level price will just simply have held resistance So your question is Where does natural gas look like it's hitting it all depends on whether or not price takes out that resistance level Let's look at the weekly chart out here, although Okay, the weekly chart very bullish out here. No, no topping signal Bar number seven of a td9 count pattern out here. Let's look at a 30 minute chart out here What do I have really not much? I'm just going to go through this 30 60 day No topping signal on 20 no topping signal to 40 as triggered a roads momentum indicator signal But needs a bearish reversal candle in the five hour the same thing. So michael at this stage here Uh, nothing more to add to it. Just watch that high from the trading session of september to 28th I believe what september 26 dollars and 30. Was that there? Oh, let me give you let me make sure I give you the right signal sometimes sometimes it's out there. So Yeah 6.318 michael that's level to watch out there inside of natural gas So I hope that that helps you out. I know you want to know where it's going We have to wait quite frankly for the market to tell us that when prices right up to a resistance area So looking here to see if there's any other request looks like there's one more that has come in by via email And this one is also from david. No, this is from david h and tom ball texas Can you give me the trading range boundaries for exxon mobile? Should I be concerned with the bearish engulfing candle forming on the daily chart? Great question. We're about to go to the breakout here But let's get the exxon mobile if we can fire it up on our three panel background three panel charts out here Just see what other kind of support or resistance it might be trading into as we take a look at that We'll see that prices above the top of its daily profile above the top of its weekly and the next upside target is 6492 That is the top of the monthly profile. So we get back from this breakout here Let's go take a look at today's session out there not a ball not a bearish engulfing candle just yet Because price would need to close below the open of yesterday and that open is 6132 right now.

That's tfnn.com then hit watch tiger tv Welcome back folks. We'll take a look at xon mobile Which right now from a profile standpoint would suggest to move up to 64 92 But we're going to go look at the white background chart See what other signals we have out here and on a daily time frame today is going to become bar number nine Of a td nine count. We know that can absolutely be a topping signal course the higher high Could take place tomorrow We'll take a look at the oscillator and change line change colors about six seven trading sessions ago So with the topping signal that's in place here We should anticipate that price that line will catch up to each other So that's what the daily chart tells us Why so as prices forming a daily td nine count top the weekly chart ran right into resistance at its td nine breakdown level That's at 62 76 now the week is not over and the price closes about 62 76 david The weekly chart will be very bullish out there, but that's not what we're looking at at the moment We can understand why the daily chart did what it did and and I know that would be a question I would have had because I'd say hey, wait a minute here. Why is xon mobile? Pulling back just a tad today when lights we crude is up to the new high Out here. No, and I say noon. Hi. I'm not talking about new all-time. I just knew high inside the pattern But if I pull over lights we crude I'll do that right here We're not done with xon mobile Now I take a look at the lights we crude contract You can see wave number seven letter g. You can see Today is going to be bar number nine of a td nine count This suggests the lights we crude could be forming a top between today and tomorrow With regard to that pattern, of course the beauty of that pattern is the high of the pattern If we see a close above that certainly within a couple of bars That tells us about a very strong moment to move to the upside No bearish reversal signal as we speak right now, but you do have that caution sign On a monthly chart out here Nothing to really add to our conversation Short-term time frame 30 minute roads meant to mitigate our signal. This is suggesting a pullback The pullback would be to 60 64 if xon mobile pulls back to that level holds That would be a bullish outcome because that is the 30 minute breakout level out here So that's what I see when we take a look at the xon mobile. Let me make sure I've got to all your questions here, Dave I believe that we have so thanks so much for writing in and a best of luck to you on that trade Got a couple questions inside the tigers den What is the take a look at or maybe it's the only one is a take a look at tick assemble a b us a b us I guess is in a a patent dispute. Is that what it is patent dispute? uh out here Yeah, it must be a patent dispute that they've got with moderna and uh that ruling What did you say that ruling is thrown prayer No, they're just hearing oral arguments on it. Okay. So as we take this that that could that case could last quite a long time years out there Well, if they're hearing oral arguments, well, it shouldn't be years But in any event, let's just take a look at this is our but us bio pharma So what do we know about it? What we know is that price yesterday closed below the bottom of its profile Too consecutive closing below that would suggest lower price and that means you're watching the level of four dollars And 24 cents price to trade at 422. So where would lower price take us to? Well, we just go over to the next profile That'd be the weekly time frame and that would suggest perhaps 373 the top of its weekly profile But the weekly chart is bullish and the monthly chart is bullish because price is trading above those profiles So let's go take a look at a b us. Let's look at the daily and weekly time frames. See if there's any signals here to assist us so There's a hammer candle that formed a few days ago There's not been a confirmation of this rose mentor indicator Pattern, we don't have the bearish reversal candle But what you do have here Dan is you do have that hammer candle that hammer candle Low is four dollars and six cents If you did see a close below that that would be a signal that price is getting ready to perhaps pull back Towards the three dollar and eight cent level. That is where it's a breakout areas We have this expression if you close below the low of a hammer candle if you're long you're wrong We don't have that just yet. We just have price trading below The daily profile, of course, what happens if price regains that daily profile that suggests that yesterday's move would be a false signal That's why steve likes at least two consecutive bars out there So watch the bottom of that profile for information on a weekly basis out here. What do we have? Oh, we have a td9 count top. So whereas I said, hey, we didn't see any resistance out there That was true on the prior when we looked at the black background chart But now we have a valid td9 count top and that suggests that a b us Should pull back to test that oscillator and change line and top of its profile That's in a 373 to 381 level out here on a 30 minute basis We just have price moving sideways after generating erodesment to indicator bottom pattern out here We can see that the profile I can't say that so I can't say that i'm not going to say it Uh, that's all the information that i've got for you dan I hope that helps you out now the question was about a b us But what's going on in the case of moderna m r na? So why don't we just take a look at that chart as well Since I don't really have any requests that I see at the moment if there was something in the den That you need me to look at would you please re type that in for me? I would appreciate that and if you've had a new request that will work to m r na though Is a ticker symbol that we're going to go take a look at and see what it is doing as well because it's part of the litigation As we take a look at moderna What do we have out here? Well, I do see an a to b equal cd to the downside out there That has not confirmed yet We can draw that pattern in hasn't confirmed because we don't have a bullish reversal candle I don't believe we do So here's our a point our b point is down here on august 16th The c point out here would be on the trade day of september 10th So it's hit the one to one level and that says for moderna What we want to do is we want to be on the lookout for some type of bottoming signal One something about bullish reversal candle and so we don't have that just yet So that's what I would be waiting for there now in the case of moderna. This is suggesting Nothing more than the a to b equal cd to the downside Then price could be charging the breakout level of 229 curious on a 30 minute chart. What do we have out here? Looks a little bit like that chart for a b us So not a big tell out here that I can see but with regard to if you're thinking that Uh, the other symbol was an a b us you're looking for some type of clue that they're going to Succeed in this. It's just not in the charts as we speak right now. So hope that helps you out That's over the daily bottom now. Yeah, so we'll just say that yesterday's Um at this stage it's going to be about the close not where it's trading right now But it would say that yesterday's closed below it if it regains that profile level Would be nothing more than a false move to the downside for the daily timeframe So hope that helps you out and best of luck with that trade that was for dan in boston Um, who likes the yankees because he lives near boston, I believe and that's why he went with that Handle boston day, but tonight should be a good game to watch uh I I enjoy baseball. I certainly enjoy the playoffs. Uh, I love going to baseball games And uh, you know just watching the action out there. I'll certainly be watching that game this evening So what do we want to do now? There's no request in the uh, no request I've got by email or Or by uh, or inside the tiger's den out here. So what are we going to take a look at next that we haven't so far? um New york stock exchange the advanced decline line. Thank you s&p. We'll go we'll go do that Is still in the hands of sellers right now that advanced decline oscillator is printing out at minus 2.6 Um, so hand, uh, oh, I know we can take a quick peek at if I've got it up Yeah, let's go take a look at this.

Welcome back up folks. We're going to finish this show with SNP and the Tigers then wants to take a look at ticker symbol UPST That is upstart holdings out here and the question is Where do you think the buy is on UPST? So we can see that price has pulled back and has tested and so far rejected the top of its daily profile old resistance that Perhaps has become new support. So that's one possibility. But Dan before I would not I'm sorry. It wasn't Dan. It was SNP We can also see there's a small a to b equal cd pattern That is in place. So what I would be waiting for here Is I'd be waiting for a bullish reversal candle and that would then confirm your 1 to 1 a to b equal cd And it would confirm a gertley buy pattern Short of that and the reason why I would wait for that is because on the weekly time frame chart For some reason my a to b equal cd tool is not allowing me to print that pattern But you can see the you know the a point would be the low of its on a weekly basis It's a ipo back in december of 2020 the b point I'd be using is the high from may Of may 31st 2021 and the c point be the retracement into july 12 Well, clearly this was more than a 1 to 1 and you had that little dark cloud cover candle that formed And so that just says a bit of caution If I didn't see that on the weekly base of the topping pattern out of your SNP I might say, you know now would be the time assuming we could see something on a short term time frame But here's the daily chart. Let's pull the daily chart white background charts. That is you've got to confirm rogement of indicator top Against one level of support is held But I would feel better if I saw bullish reversal candle. What's the weekly chart show us not a lot out here Oh, we take that back. So in addition to that dark cloud cover that was confirming a td9 count This would suggest that price should pull back to the oscillator and change line about 260 287 monthly chart not enough data 30 chart Yeah, nothing here to take action on so the short term time frames are trying to form some type of bottom Well, the 30 and the 65 were SNP Why don't you wait? Let's wait even though support is held Let the market prove itself to us because you can make a case that this should really head lower and just temporary support has held I would change my mind if it was a bullish reversal candle folks. Stay tuned. David white is up next time Brian will take us on home. I'll be back with you on wonderful wednesday. Have a terrific Tuesday


The story takes place about 15 years ago when I was around 12. My mother was a nurse, and my father was a pastor at a tiny little church in our very small, woodsy town. I spent many nights stretched out on a pew while my father worked in his office. I'd pass the time by listening to music on my CD player, doing homework, or reading. It was boring, but my mom worked late nights at the hospital, and my dad practically lived at the church and they were much too overprotective to consider letting me stay home by myself. Still, it never bothered me until this night. After this incident, I pitched quite the fit and didn't give in until my parents finally agreed I could be trusted to stay at home when my dad worked nights at the church. I think they could really tell I was truly shaken by what had happened, even if I never told them what that was. I'd finished my homework and I'd forgotten my CD player and a book to read. So I was even more bored than usual. I'd already popped into my dad's office to chat with him. But he'd sent me out after receiving a late night call from one of the church members about a personal matter. So I was left wandering between the pews, letting my hand slide along the worn velvet seats, hoping he would wrap it up soon. That's when I heard a child giggling. My initial reaction to the sound was excitement. I assumed a church member and their child were here for some reason and was glad to have some company. But when I turned to the church doors, there was nothing but darkness on the other side of the glass. Only our car was in the parking lot and the woods beyond looked still and empty. I brushed it off and started to go back to my mindless wandering.  And I thought it might be coming from the nursery at the back of the small auditorium. There was a large glass window in the nursery facing the pulpit so that parents soothing their children could still watch the sermon. The curtains were closed, but I could see two very small shadows moving within the room. There were definitely a couple of children playing back there. Hey, what are you guys doing? I called out. Immediately, the shadows got still. Their heads turned in my direction and I took a step forward. Both heads ducked down below the window and I heard the sounds of frantic scrambling to get away. Hey, it's okay. You're not in trouble or anything. I called out and hurried towards the nursery. By the time I entered the room, however, there was no sign that any children had been there. I was getting more confused by the minute, but I wasn't yet scared. These kids had obviously gotten into the church somehow and were afraid of getting into trouble so they were hiding. I planned to go back to my dad's office and let him handle it when I heard another giggle. This time, it was coming from the stairwell that led down to the basement. I hurried out of the nursery towards the stairs and froze at the top. There was definitely a child standing at the bottom of the stairwell. Judging by the size, the child couldn't have been older than five or six. It was much too dark to see any facial features, but even at this distance, I could smell them. I actually stumbled back and held my nose, gagging. The smell was putrid and strong. This kid had obviously not bathed in a very, very long time. The child giggled again, but there was no humor in the sound.  It annoyed me more than anything. Look, you're not supposed to be here. I began and placed my foot on the first step. The child dropped to all fours and crawled backwards into the darkness of the basement at lightning speed. This was where I began to feel scared. These kids definitely didn't seem normal anymore, but I figured they were probably just messing with me. My little town was not exactly a safe, happy family sort of town. Meth was a huge problem, and I knew the toll it took on the children of the addicted. I assume these strange, smelly children were the products of some toothless parents who had passed out on a moldy couch without even thinking to tuck in their own kids. While annoyed and fearful, I learned from my parents that the less fortunate deserve kindness and understanding, not judgment and fear. These kids were going to need my father's help.  Really, he isn't going to be mad. No answer. But I heard the sound of a door opening and closing. They'd obviously gone into one of the classrooms we would occasionally use for Wednesday night classes.  There were three classrooms in the basement, and I aimed my weak beam of light towards the one closest to the stairs. The door was closed, so I knew the children had to be in there. Guys, come on out. We can take you home. Will you stay with us? I jumped. The children had spoken perfectly in unison, just like those freaky twins from the shining. I resisted the urge to dash back up the stairs, screaming for my daddy.  I responded weakly. But I can't stay there with you. Stay here with us. A synchronized chuckle came from within the room. We can play. I should have just left.  But I didn't. Instead, I stepped closer to the door and closer and closer until I was right in front of the door. I could hear the children whispering excitedly inside, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. I reached for the doorknob. The children continued to chitter on the other side of it. I gripped the cool metal. The whispers became frenzied. I turned the doorknob. I heard a triumphant hissed from mere feet away. I opened the door. Nobody was inside. I shone my flashlight all around the room under the tables beneath the cabinets by the window. Nobody was there. All was silent. I let out a breath of relief and heard an avalanche of giggles from above me. I shone my light high to find the two children on all fours gripping the tiled ceiling. Their necks twisted so they were grinning down at me, cackling madly. I dropped my flashlight and ran. I burst into my father's office in hysterics, demanding he take me home at once. I never returned to that basement again. And I only returned to the building on Sunday mornings when my parents would literally drag me there. But I stopped doing that the instant I was able. Because on those Sundays when I was forced to go, when I would pass by that stairwell leading to the basement, I sometimes thought I'd hear a mocking chuckle echo from below. Occasionally, I'd catch a whiff of something putrid. And once when I dared chance a glimpse down towards the basement below, I saw a tiny clawed hand emerge from the darkness, beckoning me to come closer.


This formation itself can carry approximately 1,300 paratroopers, or it can air drop about 600,000 pounds of cargo in a single pass. So it's a pretty significant event in a large formation this size. The Elephant Walk is an excellent opportunity for us to test our ability to launch 12 aircraft at the same time, and we're all very motivated to accomplish that task.


Hey everybody, it's summer down here in the south, which means working outdoors for a living wears you out so badly you cannot move when you get home from work. And of course, almost no games released in the summer, which means there's not that much new to talk about. My last two videos were about Elden Ring, and after finishing my third time through the game I decided to go back and replay every Soulslight game I have to try and see where I ranked Elden Ring in the genre, and I am so damn dedicated to bringing you my signature brand of bitching about games that I made this video. The top 10 Soulslikes, except 3 extra because it's going to be top 13. Now this is only legit Soulslikes. No games like Hollow Knight or Dead Cells or Doom Eternal or any of the dozens of games that people call Soulslikes that aren't actually Soulslikes at all. Let's hop to it. Number 13. Dark Souls 2. You know what's funny? The Dark Souls 2 starts with the player character laying down on his face. Because you know, this game kind of falls on its face a lot. Listen, I've played Dark Souls 2 for hundreds of hours, probably like 10 times through. And in all of those hours I still can't figure out why I actually like it so much. It's just loaded with flaws. Movement is horrendous, so bad. The bosses are just putridly easy, enemies are just titanically annoying. Scholar of the First Sin literally spams you with NPC invaders, which are basically the worst things in the series. And one of the biggest issues for me is that it has easily the worst animations in the series. Right from Demon's Souls on, the series has been amazingly animated. Look at how perfect the animation is here. Now look at how stiff and unconvincing it is in Dark Souls 2. It's crazy that DS2 is motion capture because everything looks much less real. Also the ridiculous manual aiming with certain weapons is just so terrible.   It's a big game and it buries you in so many souls that you can basically level up every stat, which is kind of fun, and it has some good levels and it's always at least engaging. It's basically only ahead of a few other games in the genre, but it is definitely better than those games than like, you know, Immortal Unchained or Code Vein or Ashen. So there's that. Number 12, Salt and Sanctuary. I realize I cannot finish Salt and Sacrifice because Dark Souls 2, mixed with Monster Hunter, is something I don't enjoy at all. But that doesn't take away from how amazingly great the first game was. Salt and Sanctuary is the best of the 2D Souls likes. Some people seem to prefer Blasphemous, but I find that game needlessly punishing with platforming that's just kind of cancer. Salt and Sanctuary is a very faithful recreation of Dark Souls 1 in Metroidvania form. Everything is here, from equip load affecting your role, to armor that doesn't do shit, to combat that revolves around stamina management more than anything else. It's a shockingly big game too. Lots of the best Souls-like games have something almost intangible about how the game feels. That's almost like a secret sauce. The recently released sequel is a great example of a game that's basically the same thing, but has lost that secret sauce. These games rely on getting their balance and world just right. Salt and Sanctuary made the right design choices almost everywhere that isn't its poison swamps. An amazing game.  Number 11. Remnant from the Ashes Okay, this is the one game I've chosen that is maybe on the border of a true Souls-like. First of all, it has guns, so you know, there's that. But it has an estus flask, combat that relies on dodge spam, bonfires, hard bosses, upgradable loot, fashion souls armor.  Remnant is one of the best games of the last few years. It's definitely got double A production values, but it's pretty tightly designed, and while the story is pointless, the combat is excellent. I didn't love the whole random campaign generation that makes it so you have to play through like three times without seeing every boss, but I can't blame them for trying to figure out a way to provide extra value. Their games last two titles were both very good. Darksiders 3 was a much better game than it got credit for, and Remnant is amazing. Easily one of the best Souls-likes ever made, and a game I sincerely hope they are making a sequel to right now. Alright, let's get into the controversial Top 10 ranking. This is objective fact, by the way, not my opinion, so if you disagree, you know, you're like wrong. Number 10. NEO NEO is one of those games that can be very frustrating if you fail to fully commit to the mechanics. When I first started it, I felt like I was constantly stamina starved. Then when I got the hang of the key pulse, it became playable. But it wasn't until I started mastering the flux and double flux key pulse that the game really clicked.  And it works. This game isn't perfect by a long shot.   And many of the side missions are pretty bland, but the combat is so good.  Amazing game. Just amazing. Number 9. I've seen some people online try to argue that Lord of the Fallen was actually not a bad game. Those people are wrong.  The surge, on the other hand, is excellent. It has an awful lot of flaws, like how the late game enemies literally cannot be staggered with most weapons and never stop attacking. And I despise, despise the timer on your dropped souls. And the maps can be extremely confusing at first. But the surge gets the atmosphere right. The entire game feels like a real place, and it has a really great story with perfect voice acting. The limb severing mechanic is awesome, and even today it is a very beautiful game with textures and armor being very impressive. Also the implant progression system is absolutely brilliant. If you played it once before and kinda bounced off it because it was stupidly punishing at first, I would suggest you give it another go. I've played it 4 or 5 times, and I love it more every time. As a souls player it can feel kinda clunky and limiting at first, but when you realize the game is almost entirely about positioning and being very deliberate about your attacks, it starts to click. And when you finally find and equip enough implants to feel like you're creating a build, it starts to really sing. Yes, there is a grotesque amount of 1 or 2 hit kills in the surge, but once you really get the hang of keeping your distance and picking your moments, it shows itself to be a wonderfully designed game. And one of the best sci-fi stories in a video game in years.  Number 8. Neo 2 Okay, Neo 2 is Neo, but a little bit better in every way. Not a ton better, but a little bit better. It does basically nothing differently at all. The levels are the same, the enemies are the same. It focuses more on a kind of parry system, but it's basically the same game. It's better because it looks better, and it plays a bit better. And the level design is a little bit better. The story is garbage still, but who cares. So yeah, Neo 1, but a little tiny bit better. A great great game. Number 7. The Surge 2 So Neo 2 ranks above Neo 1 because it's the same game, but a tiny bit better. The Surge 2 is a whole different thing. The Surge 2 is not the Surge, but a little better. It's a fundamentally different game. The Surge 1 is like Demon Souls, or Dark Souls. The Surge 2 is Bloodborne, where the first game is about careful positioning and being very deliberate about your attacks. The Surge 2 is about being extremely aggressive at all times. I think it is vastly superior in the gameplay department, while being much inferior in the story and world building department. It still has the DS1 style interconnected world that the Surge 1 has. In fact, it's even better because there are less loading screens between areas. But it's also not nearly as believable and emotionally powerful as the Surge 1 somehow manages to be. The voice acting is much worse, and the characters are almost totally forgettable. Hell, you go from Warren, who is an actual character in the Surge 1, to playing as voiceless protagonist dude. That's kind of emblematic of the whole story issue. Still, the levels themselves feel much more carefully designed for gameplay, and the streamline progression and upgrade system is basically perfect.  I seriously considered putting this higher, but the games above it are so universally excellent I couldn't really justify it. Still, the Surge 2 is comfortably the best souls-like game developed by a company other than FromSoft. I absolutely love it. The DLC isn't as good as the first game, but it just feels great to play, and to me how a game feels is the most important thing. Number 6, Demon's Souls. A bunch of people will argue that Demons is the best game in the genre, and I can understand why people say that, and there are real arguments in favor of Demons being number one. It has some of the most memorable levels in the series, and it started the whole thing. It's also a very slow game, with pretty limited combat, and while it features some amazing bosses, most of them ended up being refined into better versions of themselves later on. Still, the atmosphere and pacing are amazing, and even right from the start, the combat system was pretty great. Number 5, Dark Souls 1. Where the original Demon's Souls is looking pretty dated now, Dark Souls 1 is still pretty good, totally playable. The sound and level design combined to make the entire journey feel lonely and sad, in a way no other game in the series has quite matched. Almost every boss is either great, or memorable, or both. Even the bad bosses are bad in an infuriatingly memorable way, and no other game has done the interconnected world of Dark Souls so well. Almost every single person who played Dark Souls will remember the feeling they had when they stepped off an elevator and realized that they had worked their way all the way back around to fire the enshrine again. I mean everyone probably has that, that says something. And replaying Dark Souls 1 made me realize how impressively balanced it is.  Dark Souls could easily be number one, because its design is so careful and considered. The only thing holding it back from the top of the list is the technology and budget. No matter how great the game is, it's true that Lost Izalith is pretty garbage, and it's true that Bed of Chaos is pretty terrible. And while it's still an extremely smooth gameplay feel, it's not as smooth as the other games ahead of it. Every FromSoft game is amazing, and everyone could be considered the best. This is all personal preference, of course. But FromSoft has gotten disgustingly good at making smooth-ass action games, and it's hard to rank a game that has Bed of Chaos ahead of the other games on this list. Number four, Elden Ring. The world seems convinced that Elden Ring is From's best game. I disagree, I just disagree. I played it three and a half times. I went back and played all the other games just to make sure I wasn't being crazy and I am still convinced that it simply is not. Elden Ring is a great game. I've never tried to say it wasn't. It's gameplay and game feel is insanely smooth. Animations are off the chart amazing. Both the player, but especially the enemies and bosses are some of the best animations you will ever see in an action game.  It's very likely the best open world game ever made. But therein lies the very thing that keeps it being number four on this list. The open world format leads to a bunch of stuff that is the very antithesis of why I love FromSoft games. Because the game is open world, it suffers from all the issues that open world games suffer from.   Pacing issues where the game goes from straight amazing to dreadful and a ton of reuse that eventually does start to pile up. I enjoyed fighting many of the bosses twice, but there are a shitload of bosses that appear much, much more than twice. And there's the sheer amount of bosses and enemies who have infinite stamina, which turns the combat into waiting 30 minutes to get one hit in before being hit with an instant follow up or having to dodge nine times to get one more swipe in before dodging nine more times.  Then there's the story that I find just incomprehensible and muddled.  Almost everything I love about the games is hurt by the open world, not helped. In fact, it's weird to me that most people can't admit that the very best parts of the game are the things that are not in the open world. The legacy dungeons like Stormvale, Volcano Manor, the Academy, Llandale, the underground areas like Seafra, the larger areas like Karrion Manor or Castle Soul or Redman Castle. That's what souls does best. And those are easily the best parts of Elden Ring. In fact, several of them are the very best levels in this series. Llandale Castle is probably the best thing they've ever done. Now, the twenty second copy pasted mine or catacombs is fine because souls combat is good and the game just feels great.  Is the game really better because you fought the God's Game Bosses five times or the Magra Worm six times, the Demi-Human, whatever, four times, the Dragon Consul for three times. Is it better because you fought the Ulcerated Tree Spirit seriously like ten times? At least, I don't think it is. And because the game is so damn big and a ton of its greatness is based upon the joy of the first time you explore, it's simply not as replayable as the games that are ahead of it. The games higher on this list can be played a million times because it's not the size and exploration that makes them great. It's the careful meticulous design that is everywhere. Now, Elden Ring is still a fantastic game because FromSoft has become the very best action game developer around with an art and animation team that is straight up the best in the world. But it's not the best game in the genre because it's simply not nearly as good as the top three games they've ever made. Number three, Bloodborne. When Bloodborne releases on PC or PS5, it will very likely shoot to number one on this list. But the frame rate is so bad. It's kind of painful for my eyes. Even at the time, the frame rate really hurt the game. But after years of only playing their games at 60 FPS or better, it is very, very hard to go back to Bloodborne. If you don't play anything else while you're in the middle of a run, you will eventually adjust to it, but it never feels great.  When you add in really bad load times, even after the patch and the highly, highly annoying decision to make, you have to sit through two 20 second loading screens every single time you want to level up or buy something or upgrade your weapons. You have a major strike against the game. But Bloodborne is good enough to overcome the mandatory Hunter Dream leveling or eye cancer frame rate. Like Elden Ring, it's doles out its story stingily through cryptic NPCs and world building. But because it's not open world, the game can carefully pace those NPC interactions and it can carefully pace how you move through the world so that the mystery will very slowly but consistently reveal itself to you over time.  If Build Variety or PvP is what you look for in a Souls like, then you're probably going to have Bloodborne lower on your list. But that doesn't matter all that much to me. I like leveling and progression, but I rarely care about having a massive variety of builds because even when I replay the games, I only use a few different weapons, which is why Bloodborne works so well despite having less weapons and build variety than the Souls games. It's not perfect, of course.  And bosses like Paul that are just a huge mess of hair and arms and legs that you stand under, those are frustrating. And the Chalice Dungeons, where you have half health and fight amygdala in a closet of one-hit kills, is horrendous. And of course, there's a few mandatory terrible NPC fights.  But overall, Bloodborne is one of the best games ever made.  In fact, it's grotesque because it's clear the only reason they aren't is because they plan on selling you that unlocked frame rate for 70 bucks, which is a scam, but they could at least release the scam so the game can finally be played the way it was meant to be played. Number two, Dark Souls 3. When Dark Souls 3 first came out, a bunch of reviews knocked it because it felt too much like Dark Souls, which I didn't understand and I understand even less today. Dark Souls 3 is a significantly different game from the first three Souls games.  But like, yeah, it's called Dark Souls 3.  It is a bigger game than you might recall as well. While it's still a very linear game, it feels very much like you're on a journey through a real world. Every level is exceptionally detailed and carefully designed.   But it also has some of the series' very best bosses. Gale, Nameless King, Pontiff, Twin Princes, Twin Dragons, Champion Gun Deer, Abyss Watchers, Madeer, Frida. These are all almost perfectly designed bosses. Bosses like Gale and Frida managed to be challenging without being overly frustrating.  I will never, ever not enjoy fighting Gale. I will always enjoy fighting Nameless King. These are memorable fights and every level has the depressing vibe and sound design that makes a Souls game feel like a journey through a dying world. Most importantly, it does an amazing job of balancing speed and enemy design so that the game remains challenging without being needlessly frustrating. And the NPC fights are generally less toxic than the other games. I love Dark Souls 3. It is one of my very favorite games ever in the top three or four. It is the perfect blend of old and new. It's fast without resorting to bosses that don't give you a chance to hit them. Frida is the closest thing to an Elden Ring boss in Dark Souls 3, except even she has pretty long recovering times after her stupidly long attack chains. And you can parry her and get a repost because her attack speed isn't insane and she staggers pretty consistently. So it doesn't feel like you're playing Russian Roulette hitting her a second time. Also, Frida has the best mid-fight cutscene in the history of the series. So there's that, too. Dark Souls 3 is one of the very finest games ever made and the second best game that FromSoft has ever made. Number one, Sekiro. I'm curious to see in the comments how many people think this is crazy. I think it's crazy because the first time I played Sekiro, I thought it was not as good as the Souls games or Bloodborne. The game frustrated me and the lack of weapon options or armor made the progression feel a little less impactful. It wasn't till the second playthrough when the game fully clicked. It took half of my first playthrough to stop instinctually trying to dodge everything. And even after that, I found myself constantly trying to wait until the very last second to parry. Then in my second playthrough, I discovered just how forgiving the deflect timing actually is.  The combat in Sekiro is amazing.  Eshin Sword Saint is, in my opinion, one of the best bosses ever in video game history. Ganeichiro and Owlfather are right up there, too. Even the Divine Dragon is probably their best gimmick boss ever. When you look at Bed of Chaos and then evolve it to Divine Dragon, it is quite a leap. When you add an actually good story and a world and level design that is perfectly paced, you have a game that is almost entirely perfect. The level design is amazing. The movement system is fantastic. The stealth is actually pretty fun. The progression is great, even if the skill point system falls a bit short. In fact, the only major complaint I have is that losing XP on death doesn't really work in Sekiro because it too heavily incentivizes farming because you lose so much XP on dying with no chance to get it back. You end up finding yourself farming up the XP to lock in the next skill point.  But the posture and deflect system allows Sekiro's enemies and bosses to attack constantly like they do in Elden Ring, but without annoyingly having to dodge eight times to hit them. If Malinia was in Sekiro, she would be one of the greatest bosses of all time. In Sekiro, each difficult battle becomes a dance because even when you're playing defense, you are playing offense.  Once you learn Isshin, he becomes unbelievably satisfying to beat without taking damage. Almost every boss in the game is like that. They're very, very hard the first time, but each subsequent attempt, you get better at it until you are finally destroying the bosses and they can't even touch you. Sekiro demands you be pretty close to perfect, not in your reaction times, but in knowing how you're supposed to respond to each attack.  It tells its story clearly with solid pacing, interesting theme and interesting characters. Sekiro has the best story, the best combat, the best movement system. It's levels and world are as good as anything else in the series, aside from Elden Ring.  Sekiro is the best souls like ever, which makes it one of, if not the best game ever. Nothing really comes all that close to me, frankly.  All right, that's my totally objective factual, scientifically proven list of the best souls likes ever. If you disagree, you are wrong, of course, but I will be interested in seeing how you were wrong when you comment. Thanks for coming, y'all.  All right, I'll see you next time. Bye.
