The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Hazel Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. How about you, Hazel Chapman? Yeah, this is the Tiger Technician Hour on the 7th day of July. This is Thursday, and we're looking at the data, so through this right now. The Dow popped up to 31,333, that was really important in my work. It's pulled back a bit now, 31,216, up 178. I really want to see, by Friday's close at 4 o'clock, it doesn't have to close there, but I'd like to see, so far it's excellent action over the last three days, but I would like to see 31,400 tested, it doesn't have to close. I'd like to see it get there, because it's got to get closer to that peak B that was made at 31,085. You've got the same thing going on in the S&P at this particular point, and you'll see that the S&P is up a little bit better, it's holding better at 38,77, up 32. This is going to be that 39,45 area, the higher peak A, and then it failed. This is like another gray A underneath it, the Magnes Goods Kessix, only a 62% on balance volumes that made a V-shaped recovery, but not yet very positive. There's a lot to see, and you haven't got the 9 period over the 14 period, moving average yet and still pink needs to go green. This is lovely action on a three-day basis, not good enough though. I'd like to see, by Friday, a test of the 3900 area, it doesn't have to close it, but a test at least. We're looking at the QQQ, the NDX100, trading up 2.93 at 291.75. This is way better action. It's so interesting. One of the reasons why we went along in that whole area of the NASDAQ is because it seemed that those stocks that were just beaten mercifully, they were down 60, 70, some were down even 80%. There has to be some kind of rebound, and I think that this is it. I had a quick question, could I please look at the e-money just before we go on any further? Yes, the one-minute chart made a peak E at, I'll give you the exact time right there. Actually, let me open it up because it's a fascinating chart. The peak E, kind of an arch formation double top, and that was at exactly, it was soon after we opened, just about before I came on the air. 3891.75 was the high at 951, and here we are just a little bit lower, 3878. So yes, that's the one-minute chart, you had the two-minute chart, peak D, you got a peak D potential here in the 10-minute chart. So this to me, the open was a little bit too exuberant, and now we just need to digest some of those gains. Where would I expect, well, the 3869 level, there's a 200-period exponential moving average in the one-minute chart, but I would give it the whole hour of this hour, 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock to see if it breaks 3875, then it would probably go down there. So far, there's a lot of buying coming in, and you can see that in the QQQ. Now it's up 368. Nice, I like this. And finally, you remember yesterday we were talking about this, I said the Chapman weight inside track repellent zone, this green and red mini channel. We wanted to see a push nicely above it into the 29, 292 area. Here we are at 292.50. Can it hold, if it can hold and close anywhere above 292 today, preferably about 294. It'll be challenging to go to leg B above the 296.58 high of roundabout the 22nd or so of the month, of last month. Now let's go to the IWM. IWM is acting quite well here. It's actually a little bit better. It's up 2.09 percent, up to 3.59 to 175.14. This is going to help the weekly chart. If at any point in the next seven trading days, I'd even say five trading days, it's able to touch 182 of the weekly chart. Once again hit that 14-period moving average. It has a better chance this time of breaking above it than ever before. We're looking at the gold. If we do this again, gold is up $10 and 1747. It made a low yesterday of 1730 something, 1736.5. So it's up 1112 points from that. This is good. It's going to have an inside bar so far. But that weekly chart says, you got a lot to do gold because you broke down below that important chart. Chart wave, inside track, propellant zone, it's now repellant zone. So the whole area of 1790 to 1810 is going to be your big challenge. Can you close above that in the month of July? Certainly you do not want to break underneath 1700. That would be a very big negative, of course. So let's go to silver. Silver itself is trading up at 19.40, up 24 cents. Yeah, I didn't even put notation here because it just seemed like it was going lower and I didn't bother. A, A, B, this is C. Oh, but I need to take it from there. Sorry. A, and that needs to be taken from there. So it was ABC, this was a D, that was an E, and that was an F, and then you went to a G. Remember G, the letter G is on the upside of the downside. It's always where you want to be very careful because that I usually put a G slash C. If it's that's the way, yep, that's the way the notation is to say this is where there could be a sharp balance. And then you got to be careful. Well, there was a sharp balance and even went peak ABCD. Chart wave obligation in the buy signal to buy mode says you should go to at least a D. And then you got to be careful. Why? The fourth highest peak is where other things can happen. But it made the dreaded H arch formation and then broke down in a brand new. So this would be right here would be D. So this is either a D or a C. It doesn't matter what you're looking for is the stochastic 11% hasn't really turned up at this point. And the V shaped pattern in the unbalanced volume is a good sign. But look at the distance in the MACD. There's a lot of work needs to be done before silver can even touch 20.01 to 20.38. The pink nine period moving average and the 14 exponential moving average in the daily chart. Let's go to high grade copper. High grade copper should also be bouncing up at this. It's up 14 cents and 3.55 and the 3.63 is the pink nine period moving average and 3.73 is the 14 period. There's a lot of work to be done to start climbing to the 3.80 level. But it's great that at least there's a turnaround here with the doji candle from yesterday looking at crude oil. A crude oil big move up almost $5 4.70 at 103.23 a dip to 95 yesterday 95 to 103. I would say that's a big move. But look at those big red candles from the downside. But basically remember for a month now we've been saying stuck in a trading range between range between 123.61. But that changed because it gets smoothed out. So this has changed it right now. Let's call it 121.46 and it'll change again next month. Because this is a continuous contract and then the base of 90. And yeah it is in the middle of the trading band. Towards the lower end under the weekly nine period moving average and 14 period moving averages. So it's still stuck in this range. It might stay there a little bit longer. TPTTLT that's bonds trading from the peak seas pulled back quite sharp. And that makes the TPT the inversion of the grey lake egg was still a pretty good technique. I'll be back in a moment. Back in a moment.

Then he goes on to say, Dan, who's in the den, prediction is coming true. Wall Street Journal, Merck is Merckham Company's advanced talks to acquire C-Gen. C-Gen aiming to agree on the purchase of cancer biotech in the next few weeks. And here it is. Hey, congratulations, Dan. Fabulous call. I actually got another call here that you made and you're really good at the biotech sector. Wow. C-Gen has made a peak E back in 2020, around about 217 or something, 213.94. It makes low lows and lower highs in the cell mode. And then all of a sudden it hits this chapter in the inside track repellent zone in the monthly chart. Weekly chart made a peak G trying to make a big U-turn, U-shaped pattern. And the data is in a G-Sash C at 179.73 up to 4.60. So yeah, nice, nice call. Good action. I see in the den two questions. No, one is a statement. Halo, 52 weeks high. So I thought, Halo, wait a minute. Halo, I don't remember that. But I have a friend who started a foundation called Halo Foundation, Life for Children with Neurological Problems. So it's actually, the anagram is Help a Little One Foundation. It's a fantastic foundation. It's really for children to enhance the quality of life with children with neurological diseases. It's actually centered here in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts and Newton. So yeah, I thought it was that, but it isn't. It's Halo and Halo is, Halo, Halo therapy? Oh, Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo, Simon. I can't read it. Let me just put it in here. I can see it. Let me get closer. Halo, Cream therapy. Okay, so there are so many. I mentioned this to my subscribers over the last two weeks. The Microbiocaps, just oodles of them all over the show. I've got a list here of about 13, 14. We have one that we put in today. I had two choices how to play it. I chose one officially. The unofficial way was to start a position, a split position this morning before they opened when I sent out my newsletter at about 8.15 or so and then add another one lower down. I said, now let's go for a slight pullback to pull to buy. So there were two choices. My official one is one that hasn't kicked in because it just gapped up a little bit and now it's up almost 5% from where I wanted it. Actually, from where I wanted it, it's even more. That's the way these things are going. So this Halo HALO training 48, 38, up $1.63. Yes, it's at new recovery highs. The last high was back in 2021, up at about the 55 level. And I still only have that as a peak B. Is that correct? A, B, C, D, E, F, G in the first round. And now it's A, B. Yeah, I've got this as a brand new A, B, and then it's falters. Now it's starting a brand new A, B. It's actually in league C. Remember, once you've got your low point, that low point says that every single peak or trough, you've got to count. That's your only obligation. So that means that peak B right there, the month of February, I think it was, or January. February of 2021 at 56.40, let me just type that in, 56.40. And that was what I said, 221. Pull back to just over 30, about 31, and now it's trading at 48.  I'm not going to change the color right now at enough time. Grayleg B, and this is a league C. Now it's a blue C because that officially overcomes the letter B over there, and that becomes a C. And it says in the cup formation, over a period of time, there should be a retest of the 56.40 high that was made back in February of 2021. So longer term, this is looking good, short term, this is a league E. It's getting a little bit overboard and a little bit overboard in the day, but the fact that it's gone to this big spike, I needed to check. I have a feeling that this is not league D. That high there was at 48.58, that was back in May. This one here in June is 48.54. Oh man, 58.54, I was correct. I said, yeah, it was underneath the previous high, so that's one cup formation. But if you look at it, not as a cup that goes like this, and then there's a handle. I'm making the whole thing a cup. I'm even stretching the trough low so that the plumb line moves to the right, and it's differently centered, and now we've got something a little different. That just says that in this particular leg, having gone three peaks higher from the low that was made in the 42s about a month or so ago, probably this is a D, but it could evenly say it could do a whole bunch of things. So I'm watching it closely. Yeah, fabulous move. But most importantly on the shorter term, this whole area of 48.67 right now, it hit 50.25 this morning, huge move, 46 to 50. I mean, it's almost like a 9% move, now it's a 4% move. Now what we're looking at is the whole area in this 9 period and 14 period moving average on the 46s, that's going to be key support. So yeah, very nice. Congratulations. If you're in it, let me see. Another question came in, FCX. Well, I want you to do these today because I love the action for the last two days, going to the lows because it was saying to me, there's a really good chance that the Freeport McMoron, we saw copper had a big bounce. This is a copper company. Other metals mostly copper. Went to a peak E up in the 52-ish area, plummets down to the 26s, gets cut in half. And here it is, a nice bounce. This is a bounce. So look, let me go through these. Freeport, the question is, has this begun a brand new move to the upside? I think it's attempting to form a base. But if you look at, let's just go through all these. Look at this CLF. This is the Cleveland Cliffs flat roll steel. A whopper of the pullback from the 34s to the 14s. I mean, more than cut in half. And now it's got a bounce of 4% today, up 62 cents to 1581. That's steel. You can even go to US Steel. Same thing, US Steel bounce from yesterday. And it's up 2.87% up 48 cents. I don't think these are ready for the big move up. As a trade, absolutely, they're so oversold, they can do that. This is a leg after the downside in US Steel. IPI. I wanted to look at yesterday. I put that in my notes. I wrote it down. Let's have a look at IPI today or Friday. We can do it today. Nice bounce up 2.43% up 99 cents at 41.76. Plum is from the 120s to the 40 to the 39 level. Give me a break. I mean, so to get a buy signal and then a buy mode in this whole group, I think something else is going to have to happen. So let me just say that the question came in. Could FCX rally sharply from here? Yes, it's attached to the 29.54 level, which actually is just about the higher. That is the pink 9000 moving average. The next level of resistance is 30.88. I would only shoot it as a spec buy and maybe on a little bit of a pullback in the middle here or wait for the 20 AC. That holds on a pullback and then one more bounce.

Look at this, it goes from $3, just on the low $3 peak APP in areas in Leg C, up 4.5% it up, 20 cents at 5.30 a.m. I can't tell you how many I've got. I mean, I'm going to add this to the, I think I wrote it down but I'll just write it down while I've got it on my mind. Immunogen, just unbelievable. Even the IBB which is much bigger now we're talking about, this is the big caps, the IBB Nasdaq Biotech. Beautiful move up today, 1.63% up $2,124.79. Hey, that is really nice. Okay, let's get back to our story here. We were looking at these different things. So FCX, where would I expect it to go in the short term? Oh, this is CX.  CMAX, SA Mexican cement company. Let me make a note of that. Another Screamer potential, peak A, peak B, peak C, maybe double topping. Yeah, very interesting. What I want you to type in was FCX. Yeah, so the question is, what do you do now? Do you buy the gap up? There's a huge gap. I mean, a 5%, almost 6% gap here. But it's so oversold that I can't see it trying to get to the 30.89 level. Personally, I'd rather be going for stocks that have shown strength and continue to show that strength rather than to go into the spec area of stuff that's just not working in this environment at all, which of course, let me just SCCO, I believe is the other one that I'd look at. Yeah, SCCO, which is Southern Copper, had a nice candle yesterday, big move up today, pulling back from the high, it is up 4.3% up to 13 at 50.89. It's over the peak 9 period moving average, the black 40-degree moving average and resistance is at 51.98. But it is so far, the MAG-D is about to turn up, but the 9 period under the 14 and it needs so much work that you're going to need the MAG-D to turn up, SCCO only at 16%. Now, they're all in, just as quick trade, I'll tell you what I'd prefer to see. What is today Thursday? I'd rather play an option, rather play a call option to go, and I would probably go, not this week, a weekly option, I wouldn't go this week, I would go for next week, which is the, so what are we, the seventh, so this is the eighth. Yeah, go for the 15, go for the monthly, the 15 option in FCX and I prefer to be in the money, I would mix it, I wouldn't get too carried away, no exactly how much you're prepared to lose, but I would have a mix of an in the money, it's a 2901, if you can get a 28, I'd go in the money and then just a tiny, like a one or two, just crazy number, like they've probably expanded a lot, yesterday would be fantastic, but something in the 30 area, if you can get it, but I wouldn't even pay more than 35 cents for it, I probably wouldn't want to pay more than 21 cents for it, that's a big ask, but that's the only way I would do it. As I say, if you go question about Exxon, all of the commodity related and of course, companies commodity related, area has just been really pummeled to the downside and now you've got Exxon, Exxon, Noble, a nice move up 3.6%, up 3.86%, I don't know if they're ready for a bigger move than a bounce right now, but as a bounce, I'd say yes, but I prefer, I mean, I would rather see something in this particular point, we're out of our IBM, we got stopped out of with a couple of profits in a smaller position, but I wasn't prepared to be messing around, but look at IBM as both an internet play, as a cloud, they've held so well, I didn't go back in, I should have gone back in, but I decided we were in other areas that are really working and we're actually a little bit of leverage to the upside, I didn't want to overdo it, especially paying 137, 140 bucks, I wanted to keep our portfolio still want to have cash handy, so I'd rather go with something that's really working, like an IBM that maybe doesn't have the same bank for the buck if Freeport, actually really starts to zoom up, this is a slower mover, but there's a chance that it could test yet again the 144s and it's a 140, so I'm just saying only treated a speculation, that's what I'm saying. Okay, next question I had is, could you please show us the E-mini again? Okay, this is the E-mini, it doesn't have to be the E-mini, it could be anything that we're looking at right here, because the Javwave methodology is the waveform that never sleeps, what we're looking at is, that's a lower low, so that's an A, underneath it is an A, oh that's a B, that's a B, I think it's 25 cents higher, let's double check. So here's your starting point, right there, that takes you to 38, 84, 50, and this is 38, 84, 75, yep, that was correct, that's a B. So then this becomes a C right here, and this is a pattern that I've seen over and over and over again, in fact I'll show you this show and I'll expand it out and you'll see what I mean. I didn't have a chance to do this because I'm doing the show right now, but normally I would be drawing a big bowl formation, this is more than a cup, it's a bowl formation, and that says there's a very good chance, oh I should have drawn this in right earlier on, there's a really good chance that in this time frame you could get a one to one to the left side, right side, price time match, and that says this has to be green, green right there, here, to the right, boom, and it says, oh that's even way too far, there you are, I'll keep it there, that says by 1044, I caught it to 11, Eastern time, we've already made a leg D, look at that, there's your leg D, what's the chapter methodology say, you want to go from a bi-signal to a bi-mode, that says you're going to get to a D, this is what I'd be looking at, and I'd also put in a Chapman wave, inside wedge, target, repellent line right there, and this is exactly what we've got, look at that, for repellent zone, so that's what I said I'd show, a couple of questions came in again, is there any chance that at some point I'll have a webinar, all day webinar, showing these techniques live, which I've done so many times before, over the decades, alright here we go, so that is, remember I always put that in, but I'm always drawing in an alternate count, an alternate pattern, and it says, in this particular formation, if you get close to or you get to a D, that and as below the previous high, watch out that it doesn't become a rotating sine wave going from a cup to an arch, to a cup to an arch, and why do I mention this? Because look at all these patterns, this is exactly what we were looking at, look at the 200 p.m. moving average, fantastic support, right there, test, test, test, use it as a springboard, goes through peak D, pulls back, tests again at 9.25 or so, and then starts peak A, oh I wanted to talk about this, I had questions over the last three weeks or so, someone with a good eye said, hey I noticed a red letter, what's the red letter for? That's in the Champlain methodology, when I get two parallel highs, especially when I get two series of parallel highs, but the wave count is still very early, I tend to go, I put in a red in this case to say this is a phantom peak, because everything about it, look you had a little hiccup right here in the on balance volume and the stochastic, it looked to me like this could be one, a quarter point difference, and therefore I wanted to treat that as a phantom peak, so that I got to D early and I'd be able to prepare for that. So then it goes to peak C D, yes it did pull back for time rather than price, held the 9.3 moving average, and then I went to E, to take what I normally do, even though it's only for me, nobody else, I grab the E, I take it away, I put in the peak, I put in the C, I take the $10 which back to 2, it's there, okay, I'm gonna go to RTA, I'll be back in a moment, bells and chimes.

How's it with Google? It starts with, yeah. Post starts with Google. Yeah. So what we're looking at is Google's been making this rectangle formation basically trading between 24, say 24-100, and 24-100, what did I say, 24-100, I should've said 24-62. So in the 24-100 area, and I won't go to the low that was made at 44.16 on the 24th, I'd rather go to this cluster of lows in the 21-100, 21-30 area. So it's between there. But if you look at the Chapman Wave Insight Track repellent zone, it's getting there now. The Chapman Wave Insight wedge target resistance line, that comes in at 23-81, and I've been saying I like Google, I don't love Google, but I like it as a better chart pattern than some of the other fang type stocks that have all changed their names now and they will split. But most importantly, I think Google, as soon as it starts to trade, it can't just get there. But as soon as it starts to trade in the 24-100, then the only resistance is at level on the 4th of May at 24-62. If at any point in July, let's give it a whole three weeks left of July, if at any point it even touches 24-70, that's only 120 points up from here, it could do that. But anytime in July, if it touches that, all of a sudden it looks like it's free to move closer to the 2509 200-period exponential moving average from which it broke down on the 11th of April, it was a high of 2658 and a low of 2592, and that was it. It hasn't even got close, and it still hasn't got close to the 200-period, I don't even have to look at the 200-period moving. I'm just using it as an upside target if all these resistance levels start to be taken out. Now that's a big ask because it's gone from, do you remember the pattern I always talk about? The chap made arch formation, lowercase h, that if it holds the left side, could then have another h pattern which looks like a lowercase m. And then after that, if it still hasn't taken out that left side low, that's the low of about the 22nd, 23rd of May, if it hasn't taken that out, then a close above the previous arch high right here, that's the high of 2387 97 on the 6th of June, 6622. If it closes above that, it is free to start moving even sharp to the upside. So I'm going to circle, if I circle that means that's a different implication, that's an implication that is asked of me by GW in the target YouTube. So let me make it a rectangle, I'll just make it a rectangle, I'll put this over here, I'll put it over there, and we'll say that's the area, that would be my target area, let me even fill it in in yellow because full color, that's making the area, there we are. So that would be my area of the target, if at any point it starts to trade above 24, 100, boom, 2509 becomes some kind of a target. Okay, with that said, so what's those questions, there was an e-text, I'll get to that, okay. Let's go in sequence, we did that, we did FCX, JKS, Michelle, I don't know if you've got all these things, but you're doing JKS, let's see what JKS is, JKS is inter-solar holdings company at a high, oh it's the same pattern, made a former high back in 2020, back almost 90, pulls back to under 30, what a hit, that is 67%, and then it goes peak A, peak B, peak C, it's in leg C right now in the monthly chart, and the daily chart is peak A, B, C, D, E, F, and this in fact could be C1, C2, peak A, B, C, you know what I'll do this, I'll put that down, I'll put JKS Friday as a technical Friday, JKS daily, I've got it, and I'm not going to say for Rachel, she didn't ask me, she just mentioned that, but for me I'm going to put it in, so this is in leg, I'm calling it leg D for the moment, up 7.78 at 1738, up 11, almost 12%, fabulous move, oh let me look at fuel cell, I don't know if it's in the same area, but yeah, nice move, up 7.83%, almost one of my streamers I was going to add today, oh fuel cell, what a nice move, up at 4.30 today, it's up 31 cents at 4.21, oh I forgot to type it into my, I don't know if I would have done that, but this is a nice move going to the high, peak D high, FCEL of 4.53, made them the 6th of June, huh we were just looking at the 6th of June, so yes, good eye, good eye Rachel, let's go to Basil, would you draw an overbody daily VIX upside down, stalk leg, or say you take an IDB, oh let's go to VIX, good question, oh Greg, hey is this Greg from Florida, oh Greg that I was just talking about the other day who said, oh my God, all this time to learn peak A, peak B, peak C, peak D, and now he adds an E, yeah, so falling X, it's not quite a falling X, what it is is the dreaded H pattern, took out the left side low then closed above it, there's a potential for another H pattern here, yeah so let me just do this, I know what you mean, so this is the pattern that we'll be looking at is the inverted stalk leg formation, so let me see inverted stalk leg formation, no, I don't actually see it, send me a chart if you can, and we'll look at it, upside down VIX upside taken, yeah all I can say is that it's more the H pattern going to a low case M, and if at any point in the next week it closes under the 200 pp moving average of 24.94 in the VIX, or especially if it closes sharply below the 23.74 low of the 8th of June, it says buying pressure is going to become more intense, that's all, so yeah it's good that you pointed that out, but as I said, maybe it's there but I don't see it, I should see it because I'm the creator of the halfway stalk leg formation, no, it's just reverting from a cup to an arch to a cup to an arch, and that's all I can say, okay, okay the question about the IBB, I thought I did that earlier on, so the IBB, I'm calling this a brand new leg B, why? Because in the dreaded H pattern it took out the left side low but immediately closed above, and that's really important with improving, going from a buy signal, it's in a buy mode right now in leg B, the low of 105.39 on the 12th of May went all the way to a peak and stopped dead at the 50-period moving average, arches over and comes back and it makes a slightly lower load, goes to what? It goes to 104.29, so that starts a brand new buy signal that gets upgraded to a buy mode because it's closed decisively above the arch high, and now in the big picture the IBB, the NASDAQ, biotech, ETF, if I can just find this, there it is, it's making, I'm going to just be conservative and go to that peak over there, it's making a big cup formation with a successful dreaded H pattern, so I like it, we almost went long this today but instead I decided to go for this other one that unfortunately just missed, some people got it but I technically just missed it, but yes I like the IBB and if it can get from 124 to 128, 131, the 200-period moving average becomes a target, I'll be back in a moment.

TFNN.com Educating Investors On the front page of TFNN.com Just a bunch of questions I see now. So let me just do this. Can I post ARKK? That is Cathy Wood. It's her innovation fund is trading up $1.94 at 45.90 up 4.4%. Yes, we are long. We've been long in and out for a couple of weeks now. And yes, it's doing very nicely. Most importantly, I wanted to show the semiconductor. You see this big push to the upside. I love the semiconductor action yesterday. I wanted to go long, but I didn't want to buy a gap just on this particular issue. And what I preferred to say to my subscribers was because we have TQQ, the triples on the QQQs, I just wanted to stay in that position. We've done very nicely. And even up to date, 4.5% up 1.18 at 2732. This is a generic thing before I got too carried away. We are, you know, we've been very selective. We long saw along the Dow and we've got others. So a quick thing about a green thumb. Where did I see that just before we run to the break and we're all wrapped up for the day? I hope I can get it. It was a good question. I'm going to get it in a moment. I posted that. Oh man, it's over the 9 AMA. I'm trying to find the symbol G-T-B-I-F. G-T-B-I-F. This is in the cannabis area. Yeah, this is nice. It's up 29 cents at 9.46. That's the kind of action I like to see. But it isn't a sector that is acting terribly, MJ. Even here they can't get anything going. So I like the fact you've chosen a particular one. It's a leader in pattern right now. So stay with that. If you get into it now, it's a little... I would wait for a pullback if you haven't done anything in this area. See how it holds any pullback. So yes, we're in fabulous positions right now. Trying to add, we're starting to add quite a bit. And just very selectively select our phone from the phone. Free program needs to be here. And I'll see you later.


The Ghanaian government has asked Nigeria to consider a review of the prohibition list banning the importation of specific goods and commodities into the Nigerian market from countries including Ghana. Speaker of the Ghanaian parliament, Alban Suman Kingsford Babing, made a request while addressing members of the House of Representatives during Wednesday's plenary. The Ghanaian speaker also decried the low level of trade between African countries, saying out of about 460 billion US dollars trade volume, only 69 billion US dollars was transacted among African nations. The Ghanaian speaker disclosed that the Ghanaian parliament was making efforts at resolving the concerns of the Nigerian traders in Ghana through a joint effort between the two countries.

All right, let's get started. We'll have the stragglers come in as time progresses. Welcome everybody to my talk. I'll just kick off the demo here and switch to slides. And then we'll come back to the demo when it becomes relevant. My talk today is about a particular tool known as K-Pack. So anybody familiar with K-Pack in the audience yet? No. Okay, good. One or two hands. That's always good. I'll start at a rather introductory level to K-Pack and then we'll build on as the session goes. A little bit about myself. I am the chief evangelist at the Cloud Foundry Foundation. What that means is I get to present all of these cool stuff that the community has built while collecting a bunch of free t-shirts. But why I also decided to give this presentation is there's always a relentless pursuit of automation within the larger DevOps community and within the Kubernetes community in particular. And there's these two areas of build automation and supply chain security that K-Pack provides an excellent answer to. And I thought I'd focus much of this presentation on these aspects of K-Pack. Like I said, I'd like to introduce K-Pack as a tool to as much of the audience as possible. There's also a lot of work that the OpenSSF is doing. Again, show of hands. Do folks know the OpenSSF at all? Yes, no, maybe. So I just thought I'll quickly introduce some of the work that they're doing and put that in context with what Kubernetes build automation has to do with security and things like that. I thought I'll also give a quick shout out to the first keynote that we had earlier today. He talked about engineering scalability and how you can get your engineers to work more work better and continue to make a case for repeatable engineering work without all of the trouble that comes along with it. And so a large part of this presentation is going to follow the same theme and I thought I'll just do a quick shout out to the message from one of the earlier keynotes. So K-Pack is defined as a Kubernetes build automation tool. It runs natively on Kubernetes and helps people generate OCI compatible container images out of source code that they might have. So if you're already using a Docker build command as the first step of your process, then use of K-Pack is an alternative to a Docker build. Now, there's about half a dozen reasons I can think of why somebody should use K-Pack versus use Docker build, but it'll become very apparent as we go through the presentation and things like that. But if you're using privileged containers, for example, and you have to run a different Docker build version for your staging versus your test versus your local and things like that, then all of those are good reasons to ditch Docker build in favor of K-Pack. So it provides a very parameterless, repeatable way of building these containers and these containers are built natively on Kubernetes. So if you have Kubernetes based infrastructure and you're taking advantage of Kubernetes for your applications and reliability and all of these things, then I think it's also easy to just make use of the same advantages at a container build level as well. We covered that and one of the other reasons I love K-Pack is because at its heart, it allows or it enables a Git based automation to be set up. So if you really love this notion of GitOps and you want to get in on the GitOps bandwagon some form or manner, K-Pack allows you to do that very easily because K-Pack basically is designed to work in either a pull manner where it will go and pull your Git repos for the latest revisions or you can trigger a K-Pack build every time you update Git repositories as well. So you can pass along that Git hash along with the URL and K-Pack is capable of generating a build. We'll take a look at how it does that and a lot of the K-Pack architecture is designed around declarative files. So if you love YAML engineering, K-Pack is the tool for you. And if you feel that you were missing YAML early on, early enough in the build process, then K-Pack makes it happen. And so all of these things combined make it one of the best ways you can go from code to container for your clusters. And that's really the whole raft of things that I like about K-Pack that really make it worthwhile for me. Let me quickly show you some of these in action. I think it's only fair that in the advanced track we take a look at some YAML as soon as possible. So in this folder, which I'm just using to store some YAML files for purposes of this demo, I have all the constituents of the K-Pack tool. So like I mentioned, K-Pack works with a handful of YAML files. And K-Pack takes what is known as a service account. So it's a typical Kubernetes service account. And then you make use of it within K-Pack in order for K-Pack to be able to output to a container registry. So I think everybody is familiar with the build paradigm where you have source code, you create a container or an image out of it, and then you upload this image to a container registry and then you deploy from that container registry to your production container runtime, whatever it might be. Considering that you're here, it's probably Kubernetes and something that's running there, but that's the same colophone that K-Pack follows. So K-Pack takes care of the life cycle between the time you supply code to it and putting something on a container registry in the form of an OCI image. And so that life cycle is handed through a combination of YAML files that give the definition of the tool itself. And the first step going there is to create a service account. Now K-Pack takes this notion of what is known as a builder and this builder is divided into two pieces, a stack and a store. Let's think of it that way. K-Pack internally makes use of cloud native build packs. Anybody heard of cloud native build packs at all? Yeah, great. So cloud native build packs is a CNCF project. K-Pack is a part of the build packs org for about six months now. And so K-Pack consume cloud native build packs. Cloud native build packs are essentially an evolution of build packs that were available back in the Heroku days. I mean, they still are available in Heroku and Cloud Foundry and all of these tools. But now they've evolved to export OCI compatible container images. They did not do that before. They had the ability to import certain immutable artifacts that were specific to either the Heroku ecosystem or the Cloud Foundry ecosystem. Whereas now the project has taken on a sort of new form where instead of creating an artifact that will run in either of these sort of closed ecosystems, it will instead generate an OCI compatible image that you can run on pretty much any container runtime. The builder that K-Pack uses here references to two build packs in particular. So if you look closer to the bottom, you have a Java build pack and you have a Node.js build pack. Now, obviously this can contain more build packs. So you could have PHP build packs. You could have Rust build packs. You could have whatever it is that you want. But for purposes of this demo, we just, it's just limited to two. There's also this thing called the stack. And what the stack means is it is the base image that it will use as part of the build process that it does. And it will also supply a base image layer to what is known as the run image, which will actually be run inside the container. There's also a store that K-Pack references. So you remember that Java build pack and Node.js build pack I talked about. So the store is basically a list of all different build packs that are contained for reference by K-Pack. And if you wanted to add more build packs to K-Pack in order to build more language families as written in other languages, you basically add to this. So when you install K-Pack, you install all of these YAMLs one after the other. And then that's how K-Pack effectively gets installed to any Kubernetes cluster that you might have. So in this example, we have a K-Pack running. Let's see if I can... So I'm using K9s to connect to a local Kubernetes cluster in this case. And these are the two CRTs that... These are the two pods basically that reference K-Pack. So if I had to describe this, then you can see all of that information gets applied here. And this is the K-Pack control plane that will reference all of those build packs and other things here. Now let's see. So it's basically a very simple thing to do. So on your Kubernetes cluster, whether it's local or whether it's remote, you can install K-Pack and have it create all of these images as you go along. Yeah, internally they use build packs. And one of the things I like about K-Pack is all of the native integrations that it comes with for a lot of the supply chain security work that I've recently discovered. I have always been an engineer, which means I don't care about security, or I don't know if that's fair to say, hopefully my manager is not watching, but I've never been one to pay attention to security from the get-go. And that attitude is kind of changing with a lot of the recent supply chain attacks and things like that. But what is facilitating a large part of the change is how many of these aspects that K-Pack comes with support for. Now I wanted to highlight the open SSF a little bit. So this is Honk, the open SSF mascot. The open SSF or the open source software security foundation. I think that's right. They have a mobilization plan that goes into 10 streams of investment. So among these 10 streams, they advocate the use of S-bombs. They advocate the use of digital signatures. And they advocate creating more secure and more isolated build environments.  And I noticed that of all the tools that were available, K-Pack was one of the more convenient ones to apply these principles. Now some of these principles also include building more trust along build pipelines. If people are aware of the CNCF tags, which is how they organize a lot of the work that goes on in different areas. So there's a tag supply chain security within the CNCF who published a reference white paper on here's how you do supply chain security when you work with CNCF projects. And that tag also published what is known as Fresca. So FRSCA, which was a reference architecture using various CNCF projects to basically build a way in which you can do repeatable builds of software artifacts. Basically, repeatedly create container images that are also signed and that are slightly more secure than like regular container images. And so I took that same reference architecture, but then I tried to apply different tools to it while preserving the same principles. And so the first thing that I hit upon was generating S-bombs. Now when you use build packs, the specification dictates that every single build that makes use of build packs generate S-bombs automatically. So it's a part of the spec. And so if you're in the business of creating containers and you want to know what's inside your container, but then you don't really want to do a lot of extra work in exposing what's inside your container, then build packs through K-Pack provide this manner to export S-bombs that's in a very native fashion. So when you use K-Pack because of the use of build packs, you get S-bombs for free basically. The other area where a lot of effort has gone into highlighting is what is known as Salsa. So Salsa advocates security levels for software artifacts. So there are a lot of areas that are involved when you create a container image or any software artifact in general. And so Salsa levels are meant as guidelines for helping secure each of these individually. So there's different best practices that you have to adhere to when you do coding, for example. There's different practices you can adhere to when you're doing deploys, for example. And then there's different things for the build phase of things. And so Salsa governs a lot of these different areas. A lot of it is based on different build practices that happened at Google, open source later, and a lot of different members from the community came together to improve it. And you can check their website out. And so the project website is salsa.dev. And you can learn more about the project. You can contribute in terms of security protocols and best practices if that's your wheelhouse. And they basically put out information about how to design your build infrastructure in order to get more secure and things like that. The other thing that I toyed around when using K-Pak and I was really happy about was its native integration for Cosine. So users of six-store projects here, Cosine, people aware of what they are good. So Cosine is basically what is known as a six-store project. Six-store is a collection of projects that basically exist in order to build more trust. And verify identity around container images. So the goal of six-store projects collectively is to enable people to verify authentically about who built a particular image. So if you're in the business of doing a lot of image builds and you want consumers of these images to verify your identity with it, then the six-store family of projects, particularly Cosine, is very useful. And there's native integration for Cosine within the K-Pak ecosystem, which made it another reason why it's a great choice for doing builds. This is an example of the BuildPaks architecture. So I'm making use of Paketo BuildPaks. So Paketo is a family of BuildPaks that's open-source available for production-grade workflows. We know tons of people who are using this in production. So this demo consists of making use of the Node.js family of Paketo BuildPaks. This is an example of what different salsa levels are for a build process. Now, because K-Pak focuses on the build, I just thought I'll highlight the build aspects of the salsa level. And so, as you can see, it's an incrementally growing number of best practices for how to design or how to architect your build environment. On the lowest level, you have an undocumented script, maybe that's doing a build. But at the highest level, you have a repeatable and what they call a hermetic parameterless build, which basically means your build is happening in an environment that is sufficiently isolated that only certain people have access to. And that build will succeed upon a 2% review at the end of it. And so the other levels are somewhere between that kind of automation and sophistication and having nothing at all. So it allows people to incrementally build a better build process for themselves. This is the handshake of the Cosine or the six-store family of projects, to be honest. Cosine is at the center of it. And then they have what are known as Fulcio and Recorr, which are other projects that basically allow you to create a certifying authority and verifying that signature using Recorr, which is a log. Now, you can put this on any private infrastructure that you own and you can make sure that images that you publish go through a verification stage before their output. Again, all of these projects are independent of Kpack itself. You can take the principles that are here and do it on your own. It doesn't have to be done in the context of Kpack. I am demonstrating it in the context of Kpack because it's just a more convenient way to make it happen. And Kpack has all of these advantages, other advantages that it might make sense to make use of or take advantage of as well. So, like I mentioned, four times I think now all of these are natively supported with Kpack. And let's look at a quick demo. Now, for this demo, I have, like I showed, a kind cluster running on my laptop. Again, not the most secure way to do things, but it's more for illustrative purposes.  Like I mentioned, Kpack sits in the heart of everything. It will take source code from a GitHub repo, create a container out of it using buildpacks, sign that container, upload it to a public Docker Hub instance. And what I'm also doing in the demo is showing a rebuild. So, for one change that I make on GitHub, it will rebuild the containers, sign them once again, upload them once again and verify them once again. So, let's quickly walk through what that demo looks like. So, I just started this at the beginning. And so the first thing that I'm doing is creating a kind cluster again slightly outside the scope of this demo, but I just wanted to invent the universe from scratch. So, what is happening here is Kpack is being applied. So, Kpack as a resource is being applied to the Kubernetes cluster and that will install Kpack on the cluster. So, it will make use of that service account that I showed you and that service account has two parts. It has like regular Docker Hub credentials and it also has cosine credentials. So, it will have two parts to it. So, I create that as a Kubernetes secret and then apply that to a service account here. Once done, you can see that the store and the stack and all of those pieces which basically run Kpack, they're all being created here within the resource. Once that's done, it will get into the first image build. Now, even that is a Kpack resource. So, let's see. So, this is what the image is being built. So, the image basically consists of a URL that's a remote repository somewhere and a Git revision number. So, these are the two things that Kpack needs in order to trigger a build from that particular code for that particular repo. So, if you've been paying attention and not sleeping after those wonderful snacks and lunch and what have you, you'll notice that this is where Kpack triggers things off. And then from here on forward, the build packs life cycle will kick in. So, the first stage in the build packs life cycle is to detect the language of the code that's being used. So, it detected a Node.js application and it basically goes through this process of building different layers on that application. Now, as it goes through building each and every layer, it will generate an S-bomb for that particular layer. The Keto build packs will go through the whole life cycle. Like I said, they'll generate S-bomb for each of the different participating layers. And finally, a container image is exported. Now, this is the name of the image and before completing the export itself and uploading to Docker Hub, Cosign will kick in and it'll sign the image here and then push the image along with that signature. So, and then next, I've written just a Cosign verify step just to make sure that the image that we built was actually built by the ID that I've supplied. In this case, I'm just using my personal credentials and this is where a rebuild starts. So, instead of this Git revision, we're now supplying a new Git revision in the same manner and then Kpack will now detect that a change is occurring and then it'll go through the exact same steps just that a lot of parts are just restored in this case. So, both data and metadata for the various images are restored and this kind of caching can give a lot of speed advantages if you're using Kpack. So, it'll go through the same process essentially, sign the build for a second time and verify the build for a second time. We can check Docker Hub and we can notice that it'll have that signature file as part of the thing on Docker Hub. So, basically it'll have information about all of this. So, along with the different image layers, there's also like a signature layer here. So, this represents that signature that Cosign basically uploaded here. Finally, the same image will also have all of the S-bombs. If you want to know what's inside the image and what are the different dependencies that are built and what are the licenses associated with these dependencies and things like that, you can see them here. If you were in my previous talk, I sort of promised to show this to folks and so here's a way of knowing exactly what licenses each of the different dependencies in this application have. So, yeah, it's basically the trifecta of who's building the image, what's being built and where it is being built. And so, all of that together can answer a lot of the supply chain security questions that people might have. Again, Kpack is fully open source. It is a CNCF project. You can check it out on GitHub Repos. Obviously, the project needs as much love as it can get. The community is always looking out for contributors and maintainers. So, if you're even remotely interested in an automated Kubernetes build service, I would highly recommend getting a leg on to Kpack. That being said, thank you for coming to my talk. I'm happy to take any questions and feel free to connect on any social media. I'm Ramayangar in most places. Thank you so much.
