Namaskar, I'm Professor Devdi Purkayastha from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Welcome to my course, Business Fundamental for Entrepreneurs. As part of the course, I'm very happy to welcome a very illustrious guest, Professor Rajan Rajya Swa, to tell us and share with us a few of his experiences and learnings. Before I hand over to Professor Rajya Swa, a couple of lines of introduction. Professor Rajya Swa passed out of IIT Bombay for his undergraduate in 1975. He went on to do his Master's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto and then he went on to do his MBA from Stetson University. He went to become a serial entrepreneur and he actually founded three companies in different capacities and one of the companies went public with a huge multi-billion dollar valuation. He also volunteered to serve on Thai, which is one of the largest network of Indian entrepreneurs across the world and he served as the president of the Thai chapter in Silicon Valley and then he went on to become a global trustee. He is also a young faculty at IIT Bombay's own School of Entrepreneurship and he has been teaching, mentoring and stimulating entrepreneurial students for the last seven to eight years. So it is my pleasure now to hand over to Professor Rajya Swa for his module. So when an entrepreneur starts his journey, he is always wondering, you know, how do I decide what company to start? How do I decide that this is the right time to start? What is the opportunity in front of me? How big a company can I build? These are the questions that an entrepreneur faces.  What kind of opportunities will result in great businesses being built up? So what we are going to look at is how an entrepreneur can use technology trends to build great businesses, to find openings and opportunities in the marketplace that will result in their startup idea flowering into a great business. So I'm Rajya in Jaswa. I've been teaching entrepreneurship at IIT Bombay and IIT Gandhi Nagar and other institutes for over 10 years and I'm a young professor here because I used to be a serial entrepreneur in Silicon Valley for the last 25 years and since then I've been teaching entrepreneurship. So I have seen directly the opportunity to use technology trends in order to find opportunities to build great businesses. So what is the fundamental driver that creates these opportunities? What is it that results in a spurt of new startups happening? And believe it or not, it's a 100 year plus law that is the fundamental driver to opportunities opening up for entrepreneurs. So what is this 100 year old law? It's called Moore's Law or Gordon Moore's Law who saw, he was one of the founders of Intel Corporation and he saw in the 1970s that every two years the computing power per dollar or per rupee doubles. And when something doubles and keeps doubling every two years, you have something called an exponential curve. And then he also noticed that if you backtrack, this was 1970 and if you backtrack for the 70 years prior to the start of the 19th century or the 20th century, even though the technology, the foundation technology for computing was different, even then every two years the computing power would double in terms of the computing power per dollar or computing power per rupee. And it moved from mechanical to relays to vacuum tubes and then transistors, which was kind of the dawn of a whole era of semiconductor integrated technologies. And since then, since the 70s, we have been living in a world of something called semiconductor technology. Now, even semiconductor technology is moving on to quantum computing and there'll be all kinds of new underlying platforms for driving this, but integrated circuits or semiconductor technology from 1970 to the 20s, so 50 years the driver of new advances in computing power. Now why is this computing power and the doubling of computing power so important to an entrepreneur's life, to an entrepreneur's journey? So what computing power does is that it grows exponentially and as it grows exponentially, things that were not possible suddenly become possible. So amount of memory that can be available on a computer doubles every two years for the same price. The amount of performance, computing power or the speed at which numbers can be crunched doubles, the speed at which logic can be executed doubles. So everything doubles and when something doubles, all of a sudden things that did not look possible suddenly become possible and that is what the entrepreneur looks for. Now most of the economic world works on a linear model. So companies grow by 10% year over year. They don't double every two years. They grow by 5%, 10% year over year and that is regarded as a very good growth rate. Now when an entrepreneur looks at an industry that has been growing at 5%, 10% and then suddenly has in his hands some new technology that is twice as fast, four times as fast. All of a sudden they can shrink the product, they can increase the performance, they can increase the functionality, they can do things that were not possible otherwise. And that is what entrepreneurs leverage. So how does this entrepreneur leverage this digitization movement that is underlying the whole economy based on Moore's law that keeps on doubling computing capability or performance every two years? So the first thing is when you digitize things automatically the product will just double in quality or capability every two years. So that is tremendous value add for consumers or for industry or for government to leverage. So they can get productivity improvements just by digitizing things. But there are some other key benefits and drivers that an entrepreneur should keep his eyes open for and this is what is called the 6D's exponential framework. And it talks about the 6D's are digitization, of course, deceptive, disruptive, dematerialized, demonetized, democratized. So what is all the 6D's about? Each of those D's or capabilities that the D provides or the change of behavior that the D provides opens up new opportunities. So now let's look at what is democratized. What democratized means that all of a sudden a whole new population will now be able to use a certain functionality. So let me give you an example. So if you look at Africa there are a billion people who are not maybe particularly well educated, who are not particularly technology savvy, computer savvy, software savvy and yet this billion people can afford a smartphone. And when a billion people can afford a smartphone, guess what happens? You have democratized a lot of functionality which means that messaging can be done to a billion people without too much cost. You can do financial transactions, billion people can do that instantly. They can do banking transactions, they can do purchases, buy and sell. So democratization is this benefit that now spreads across populations that never expected to have these benefits. So that clearly opens up big new markets. So now let's take a look at another one of the 6D's. So let's look at dematerialized. What is dematerialized? Means something poof, it's gone. You think it's real and suddenly poof, it's gone. In my career, in my 60 years that I've been, 70 years that I've been around, in the last 30 years I used to enjoy, you know, listening to music on transistor radios. I used to enjoy, you know, recording and videotaping, you know, my children, my grandchildren, etc. My friends, my wedding, my everything. I used to enjoy the music on CDs and DVDs and things like that. So all the things that you see this man carrying were things that I enjoyed. And these were products that, you know, big businesses that were available. And guess what has happened today? None of the things that this man is carrying and the things that I enjoyed exist anymore. They are all in the hands of a phone, a smart phone, right? A smart phone today includes all of this and it even includes them in better quality and in wider range and so on, right? So all of a sudden billions of dollars of business, crores of rupees of businesses have evaporated. Now it doesn't mean that the business or the capability or the revenue potential of music creation, the revenue potential of creating photo albums and videos disappeared. That content does not disappear but how it is delivered disappeared, right? So dematerialization is one of the six D's and that D is very important for entrepreneurs starting off because when you dematerialize, guess what, cost changes dramatically. The way products, functionality is delivered changes tremendously. The way you price things is changed tremendously. The number of people who can take advantage of that functionality, that changes. So dematerialization is actually this game changing thing that happens to industries and entrepreneurs have to keep an eye open to see if this new technology that is coming in that is benefiting from Moore's law. If that technology can suddenly dematerialize something that people have been spending money on, right? So basically we are going to see by the end of this talk how, where we are in this dematerialization environment. So the six D's are things that now we have to apply to any new technology disruption that is being unleashed on the world, right? And the disruptor that is being unleashed in 2023 is what? Artificial intelligence. Now I started my first AI company in 1996, almost 25 to 30 years ago. And in 1995, 96, which is when we started, you can see from this particular chart, AI has been going on for a long time in universities, in defense labs, in research areas and so on. But suddenly in 1996, I felt that me and my co-founder felt that there was an opportunity to take AI and disrupt the order taking business on the internet platform. And we launched a company called Selectica. And this company ended up disrupting the way business was done by big companies. And this company went public five years later for a five billion dollar valuation. That's equal to close to, you know, 40,000 crores was our IPO, initial public offering in 2001, five years after starting the company. So we were one of the earliest artificial intelligence companies. But you know, the world of AI was then restricted to some business to business applications. And it costs close to a million dollars for our application package. Very few people can obviously afford it. Maybe 50, 100 companies per year would buy this licenses technology. However, in 2023, something interesting happened, right? Company called OpenAI decided to offer artificial intelligence capability to the masses. You just download it, download this AI application on your smartphone, on your laptop, on your computer, and all of a sudden you have the power of artificial intelligence to, you know, do your PowerPoint presentations, to write your essays, to do research, to do market analysis, to plan your vacation. All kinds of things were suddenly unleashed on the consumer. And that day the world changed because AI was now democratized, which meant that it wasn't restricted to a few thousand big businesses. It was now available to billions of people, right? And so it was democratized. And as it's democratized, guess what? Entrepreneurs were unleashed also to now use this artificial intelligence technology in order to go ahead and dematerialize a whole bunch of other businesses. So recently, you know, at a legal hackathon at Stanford University, they said, how do we dematerialize the legal profession? So the legal profession writes a lot of papers, does a lot of analysis of legal situations, and they said, why not let AI be used in order to automatically search and generate all kinds of arguments in order to, you know, support a legal dispute? So you can see that AI, once the technology is unleashed, this disruptive technology unleashed, now you start thinking of all the six Ds and saying, okay, what can I do with this? So if you're in the semiconductor business, the way NVIDIA was, they said, why don't we use a graphics processor to start doing and start executing AI algorithms 100 times faster than it was previously done? So basically they are leveraging the digitization D. I explained how legal industry was going to be dematerialized so all the big dockets of information were going to be replaced by AI going ahead and writing all these arguments and even presenting these arguments.  Computer call centers decided to use it in order to answer questions that customers have. So you can see that the six Ds are now being leveraged by entrepreneurs to go ahead and create new startups that will leverage this artificial intelligence that has been unleashed in 2023. And you can see what Google is up to with BARD. You can see what Microsoft is up to with being coupled up with a co-pilot, which is artificial intelligence. And you can see that everyone, big companies, small companies, entrepreneurs, you know, are trying to now leverage this artificial intelligence in order to use the six Ds in order to go ahead and create a breakthrough capability for their, for whatever market they think will benefit from it, right? So, you know, I want all of you to basically take advantage of this amazing disruption that has happened in the industry in 2023 in order to go ahead and come up with a whole new way to dematerialize businesses, to democratize businesses, to digitize businesses, to use deception, to use all of these capabilities. So let's go back to that chart and see, you know, all these different, how these six different Ds are going to allow you to create brand new companies and then, you know, with good management, good people skills, good networking skills, good company building skills, how great new start enterprises happen that will, you know, be of benefit to humanity over the 10 years or a decade from now, right? How are these new great companies going to change the world in the next 10 years is going, has a starting point today in 2023, if you use the six Ds in order to go ahead and come up with a breakthrough company or breakthrough solution with great product market fit for your company. So with that, enjoy your journey as an entrepreneur, it's a brilliant opportunity ahead of you. So good luck and go for it.


Hi, my name is Leon Roe currency trader and trading coach at trading 180 comm and welcome to this week's applying demand forex technical Analysis if you're new welcome, and if you are returning welcome back I really hope that you do find my analysis on supply and demand zones useful and application in your own trading and Yeah, if you want to find out more there are some links in the description box below also for those regular guys that are you know Watch my weekly updates every Sunday Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be around next Sunday So I won't have a release next weekend. I don't have a release So I'll be having a release of the market analysis the following week But in the meantime, I'll try and make a video this week if you want to send in any questions regarding supply and demand You know leave them in the description box or you can email me at info at trading 180 comm and If it's worth making the video if it's a good question, and it's worth making a video over I'll make a video at some point this week before I go away. So you'll have something You know to watch for this for the coming week, but As we always do start off on the fundamentals And fundamentals are really what drives, you know, basically prices and sentiment And if you want to understand about fund fundamentals and sentiment then if you again go to the fundamental analysis Course description and in the description box below and click on the link and it'll take you to exactly how I analyze fundamental and risk Sentiment you also have a fundamental analysis spreadsheet, which will give you My opinion on what I think The Which way I'm pretty much trading when it comes to a currency and then I can basically look to Do my pair selection. So if I'm bullish on the dollar and I'm bearish on the yen Dollar yen is what I'm going to be, you know looking at demand zones and so on and so forth. So Yeah, check it out if you haven't already and if you have you know Fundamentals are something that you should really, you know, keep on top of and and study and it takes a while to, you know implement into your trading but keep doing it practice is the mother of all learning as they say repetition and Yeah, just let me know any feedback you have as well regarding the course. So Getting back to trading economics week ahead This week we have the FOMC minutes Which will be keenly watched alongside us durable goods orders existing home sales and flash market PMIs UK employment and wages Eurozone flash market PMIs Japan inflation Foreign trade and flash Nikai manufacturing PMI and Australian employment figures Investors will also react to US China trade talks. So Those are, you know, the the highlights for this week and definitely something to look out for when you are Making your trading decisions right before you press buy or press sell look at what's coming up in the week What it was potentially going to, you know, move prices, you know, high volatility you know news releases and You know pretty much Make your trading decisions based on that so Getting into the technicals we start off on the Dow Jones dollar index and the Dow Jones dollar index is a measure of The dollar strength against the four major currencies or three other major currencies, which is the euro the pound and the yen So we just use this keep an iron is to look for dollar strength And then go to the dollar crosses to look for by buying or trading of so buying or selling opportunities, right? So from last week Last week's analysis we had just broken through this supply zone, but I did keep it here I'm just in case it did, you know decide to fall back As you guys know, I'm bullish dollar anyway, and I happen for a number of years and Yeah, so let's get into What happened last week? So pretty much we end up coming up to this You know supply zone area right here As we you know continued with dollar strength and we're getting a bit of a pullback is that profit-taking is that reversal? We have no idea at the moment. So We're just looking at right now from a technical perspective It has come off this supply zone right here We could be heading, you know down into this near a demand zone, which I'm going to be drawing on a on a live chart so If we go to the charts, this is what we saw and then what we're living to do is now add demand right right here and So if we are looking at, you know a bit of a pullback within this area again We're just looking at price to come into a demand zone on the dollar index And then if it comes into a demand zone, let's say on a dollar yen You know dollar Swiss dollar CAD etc. And we see prices start to move higher Then we should see overall dollar strength and then we're trying to pick the weakest currency in order to trade against the Why would consider the strongest potential currency? If not, then we're looking at buying Here down here at the moment as there are no other demand zones that have been created If you are looking to take advantage of potential some short-term Dollar weakness depending on especially what happens with FOMC The FOMC statement this week if it is maybe a bit dovish Then we could see obviously prices start to you know fall away and even depending on how dovish it is Prices tend to you know, maybe fall through this Demand zone right so We've got a few options right now Again look for maybe some short trades if you are looking to get short on the dollar again on the dollar young dollar CAD You know, etc. If not then This area here is going to be the next area to look for some short trades My prices do come up here then look for you know short trades on the dollar crosses So bearing that in mind, let's move on now to the dollar yen And again from last week We did have some dollar strength right so that reflected obviously on the other dollar pairs Apart from New Zealand dollar New Zealand was quite strong this week, but we'll get to that in a sec But dollar yen we was pretty much, you know risk on A risk on the environment stock market was rallying as well this week pretty much and Yeah, we pretty much didn't hold at this supply zone so What we want to do is go to dollar yen and update the chart so You can delete that right there and then we can add a demand zone right here and then Where we at now pretty much we're just looking for again making your decision based off of you know Dollar strength for dollar weakness. Do you want to you know take advantage of potential dollar profit-taking? And if you are then profit-taking isn't necessarily the best Decision you know because we don't know how much you know supplies going to be in that area with supply and demand What we're looking for is understanding value. Why should you be buying the Japanese yen? Why is the Japanese yen a bargain at this price? Right or why is the dollar a bargain at any of these demand zones right and we determine that again through fundamental and sentiment analysis, but If you are just looking at purely the technicals and you are looking at a potential reversal then you know This is your chance to potentially get short looking to get long then it's going to be That's going to be your first area to try and get long second area We also have a bit of a An intraday Support and resistance probably within this area here It's not the clearest on the maybe on the daily time frame chart if we zoom down into the four hour Might be a bit clearer. Yeah, so you've got you know a bit of resistance resistance resistance But support resistance within this area this 109 Eight to 109 six area so if prices do come down to this area here on an intraday time frame And then you get some bullish price action and again look at the dollar index For confidence for overall dollar strength You may want to again start getting look to get potentially long here and again if that doesn't work out Then you just look for the same from this perspective here from that demand zone again from a selling perspective If this doesn't work out here then at the moment your next Supply zone on the daily time frame chart is going to be all the way up at this one 13 40 level so Those are pretty much the options for now and in fact I will There's a bit of a level I would say right here as well Have a smaller level you got some resistance and some support within that area of Demand and what basically support and resistance is is just past supply and demand zones that have been projected into the future and we use Support and resistance just as confluence within areas of demand because we know that other traders trade, you know Support and resistance and we're trading in an area of Supply and demand and demand is really an area of potential Value and other traders who trade technical patterns will be also be looking at that area to add to their positions or enter new positions So we've got net net some more demand orders than supply orders potentially Within this area from a value perspective and from a technical perspective And there are also some other confluences that I use like diagonal Support and resistance as well as dynamic support and resistance and again There's some links in the description box below That shows you that and that's to do with the supply and demand order equation, right? That's that video there but moving on to the dollar Swiss Again last week. This is the analysis that I put forth and We were even waiting for prices to you know come down to this area before of demand before looking to buy or Potentially up into this area of supply to sell we were in a bit of no man's land Again, you can see what happened. So right now come up into this area of supply and we're putting in You know a bit of a bearish candle again We don't know whether this is profit-taking or if this is an actual reversal At the moment probably catalyst is gonna be you know FOMC So, you know just be be aware of the upcoming news so let's go to the Dollar Swiss Frank Think I've dated before. Yeah, so Pretty much. This is a created a demand zone So we got higher highs higher lows and we know that higher highs and high lows are Potentially the strongest areas of supply and demand So we've got a bit of a demand zone here. So what we're looking at is if you're looking to Take advantage of you know dollar buying and again, you're looking at the immediate trend from you know, this low Higher highs higher lows and you're a trend trader Then this is gonna be the first area to look for any long trades and the next area is gonna be down here If you're looking to get short Probably now is or round now is gonna be the time to look for any short trades again on a lower time frame You might see some sort of double top triple top right within that area So but again always ask yourself the question of why you're buying a Swiss Frank and why the Swiss Frank is a Bargain at this area if you think it is then get short if not then you know look for Maybe a pullback into into demand Moving on to the dollar CAD The dollar CAD this week We were basically discussing that Prices would probably come up into this supply zone or near abouts and then look for potential short trade And if not, then you'll be looking for prices to come down into this demand zone look for a long train There's you know, we see prices barely touched. I don't think it did as it goes, but Yeah, it didn't touch it so Nearly nearly touched it, but then we've had a bit of a set off so If we're looking at what happened this week pretty much prices went sideways now go into the chart dollar CAD Again what we're looking at is You know prices to either come up to this supply zone before looking to get short or looking for prices To come down into this area of demand before looking to get long and again when you're Trading the Canadian dollar keep your eye on on oil WTI as WTI is Canada's main export and the value of the Canadian dollar tends to be colorate cut colorated correlated to the To the to oil And the price of oil so at the moment no real, you know, definite buy or sell trades at the moment They've prices have really come up into this area here. They're about all pretty much down into This demand zone depending on what pair you want to be buying or selling Moving on to the New Zealand dollar US dollar and last week Prices did come down into this demand zone where we also had a level of resistance support support resistance Decent set up to the long side if you were looking to buy the New Zealand dollar and the New Zealand dollar this week has Has gained a lot of strength and on the expectation That there wouldn't be a rate cut because there was apparently talks of a rate cut inflation has come in at Decent level and so I think rate cuts are off the table at the moment for the New Zealand Dollar and the New Zealand dollars really rallied in strength. I think it's been put in the strongest currency this week Why and you can see pretty much, you know strength with the New Zealand dollar now Go to the charts We are up coming up into an interesting area Right here, so If you believe again that this is definitely value for the US dollar Then you want to buy the US dollar then this area here is going to be the area anywhere around here The highs within this supply zone in this, you know further or higher level of supply Is looking for they'll be looking for sell trades if you're looking for a buy trade at the moment Then you'll be waiting really for a pullback into this level or if prices and make new highs, right so high lows and high highs All right, so what you're looking for is something like this Prices do come back make a negative candle and they make a positive candle Then you want to be a buyer is waiting for price to come back into this level of what would have been called Demand why called the month and then you're looking for a buy trade, right? So Those are pretty much your options This week again, I bring the catalyst for really price movement is going to be for the for the dollar at least is going to be FOMC Let me just Get rid of some of these arrows Now moving on to the pound dollar a pound dollar this week We ended up going a bit lower with Brexit going on and You know the the uncertainty and a closer we get to Brexit and potentially having a no-deal Brexit and the uncertainty and Parliament and the confusion You know, I really don't expect the pound to really kind of rally again Anything can change at any time. It could be a deal bro could you know tomorrow? Whatever? And the market could rally so but for now while there's a lot of uncertainty You can see where prices are pretty much drifted down. Is this a reversal? Who knows but in my opinion, it's probably just again some profit-taking at this area But we won't know until obviously The week, you know comes if you do want to be a buyer of the pound now is pretty much your opportunity Decent engulfing candle if you trade engulfing candles on the daily timeframe chart So let's go to the actual charts itself Let's update anything so Yeah, what you're looking for is probably maybe now a you know some sort of buy trade if you are Looking to buy into some potential dollar weakness or pound strength If you're looking at being a seller then Here's where we've got some supply zones. We've got one right here as well So we've got this area here of supply right on top of this area of demand not necessarily pretty but as per the rules, this is how we actually, you know, we'll draw the Supply zones the reason why is because we have lower highs and lower lows All right, and those of you that took taking the course. This is exactly, you know why we draw Zones where we do like lower highs lower lows. So on an entry-day timeframe chart We're looking at You know any kind of short trades within this area here. Let me just get rid of some of these arrows so what we'd be looking at is Potentially, you know a reversal anywhere around here Right or a fresher level would be up there on an entry-day timeframe if you again went down into the one hour This is what it would look like, etc. Right? so Four hour And then obviously the daily So we've got some supply. Just remember though where you are looking to To buy if you are looking to buy the dollar, right? The US dollar is if we take the the high to the low and we're looking at a retracement Right If this is a potential rain from that high to that low and you're waiting for a pullback The golden limer will represent fair value. You're buying, you know more below fair value Which is more of the expensive area if you're buying, you know buying a potential expensive area This is gonna be a bargain area at the highs. So you're in an expensive area overall from this high to this low So just you know Keep in mind and be aware where you are buying potentially if you are buying the US dollar if you're buying a British pound Obviously, then you'd be looking at this low to this high This being an absolute bargain for the pound this being an expensive area for the pound This being the pullback pullback into fair value, right? And then you can start to see where prices potentially Could go, you know to the upside Right, so this is fair value at this exchange rate You're looking at, you know potential moves to the upside if you're buying the pound, right against the against the dollar And let me just again get rid of some of these And that and this right, so Again, just be aware of where you're buying you don't really you know, you don't ever be buying it You know at highs or or selling at lows So just keep in mind where you are buying and where value actually is right on on a price chart So moving on to the euro dollar And euro dollar Last week we did, you know prices did were coming down into this area So we had one two three four five days, you know of of selling of supply Of self-pressure if you want to call it that And then this week we've had prices, you know pretty much Come down into this area again If you were looking to buy the question always ask is why are you buying a euro down here? If you're buying it based off of just a technical pattern Which a lot of people would have been buying this of other technical patterns support support support, but every other youtuber He does, you know Support and resistance would have been probably indicating this is an excellent place to buy If you don't understand about, you know, euro value then You know brexit Italy budget crisis This is this was not an area really to buy Wasn't the smartest move in the world even if prices would have went higher For me anyway, just the way that I you know trade and again from a supply-and-demand perspective We know from supply and demand is that the more a level is touched the weaker it becomes So you've had touched once twice three times four times You know, this wasn't again fantastic from a from a A nods perspective, you know traders who would have put their stop losses below that area there definitely would have been stopped out And that's not to say that prices can't go higher But we're trying to make the the smartest, you know the smartest place just because you see an area of Support and resistance or even demand you got to look beyond a technical price chart and understand why this is potential a potential bargain for You know at this exchange rate. Why are you buying the euro? Yeah over the dollar and for me personally, I'd rather buy the dollar over the euro So I'm waiting for pretty much a pullback. Let's go to the charts Waiting for a pullback of some point at some point Don't know how I'm gonna get re-enter this trade as I did exit probably around this area here from an entry up here I Was expecting some sort of profit taking or reversal To happen, but if we get maybe something like this We'll be make a bit higher highs and then we make a move lower What we're doing is what we're gonna wait for this area to look to get short or What we'll have to wait for is Potentially something like this where you see Where you see prices start to make new lows and then prices pull back into you know, this area here What would be what would be known as supply right here? So we've got pretty much two scenarios at the moment prices are you know chopping around and again? This is just my my opinion not financial advice If you do want to buy The euro then Definitely this would be you know the area to look to get long you've got a bit of a you know What we'd call a guess a doji type candle? I think a lot of traders will probably look to potentially get in and again if you look at it If you know we're looking at FOMC coming out and again if there is a Davis statement by the FOMC by the Federal Reserve Then that could be the catalyst that does push prices, you know a bit higher But does that necessarily mean you want to get you know long on this currency pair again? That's a question for you to answer So if I if I look into you know be buyers of the euro now is definitely the time you may want to you know Maybe enter on a daily or a lower time frame chart And see what you can see down there. So those are your options and again just Here's you're gonna be your nearest supply zone at the moment Euro yen Euro yen at the moment is come down to this demand zone here and then We have you know pretty much entering into just a sideways, you know movement between this supply zone This demand zone here to demand there bit supply there. Let's go then to the charts All right, I think that probably the yen will some with a risk off environment leading up to Brexit And also European elections, I think are coming up again a lot of Uncertainty in Europe at the moment. I think the yen should strengthen over the euro Again, but that would probably be more of a factor of a risk off environment if you know money starts Flowing into, you know other things like gold and government treasury bonds UST bonds as well that starts to you know go higher stock market starts to go lower Then look for probably some sort of Sell trade, you know at levels of supply But again if all is is well then the euro not faring much better to be fair than the Japanese yen You know is probably the buy trade, but you can really see it in price You can see that you know investors and traders, you know, they have no idea You know what you know the exchange rate as far as they're in agreement that you know prices between this one two five nine four And maybe this one two three level is where you know prices Should remain for now because the Japanese yen is quite weak from a fundamental perspective and the euro is quite weak From a fundamental perspective. So if you have two weak currencies, right? Going against each other, this is what will tend to happen the same way if you have two strong currencies competing against each other This is what tends to happen. What currency? Has an edge over the other the only edge I think the Japanese yen has over the euro is risk a risk off sentiment a safe haven play But fundamentally if we were risk if we were in a risk on environment the euro should Not much not by much, but should you know basically rise so That all being said Where are we at now? Again, I would probably say just if you prices come up to the supply zone So if you feel that, you know, the Japanese yen is really the The currency to buy and the euro would be around this area here I Probably wait for more of a clearer picture at the moment as it's really not that clear Regarding the fundamentals and the risk sentiment moving on to the Aussie dollar Aussie dollar and We did come down last week into this this demand zone here I think we did pierce through a little bit and then we ended up coming back up Right here. There's a bit of positive sentiment around the Australian dollar So looking at the actual chart I'm going to update this What I'm going to do is I'm going to put this demand zone around here Slightly here We've made a bit of higher highs higher lows there So you can see if I zoom in a bit higher highs higher lows right there so um You can also You know, basically drag it right there as well Now, um, if we are looking at being a buyer Then probably look for price to come really down into this lower end Of this demand zone going to get rid of this Area here. Again, this is what it would look like on a lower time frame. Let's say the four hour All right. So what you're looking for is probably Pull back into, you know, this this lower area here before looking to get long if you're looking to buy the Australian dollar And if you are looking to get short then This is going to be an area here now. I do like this This area This supply area for various reasons and Again, for those who have taken the course, you'll understand that this is a cpr a capture pain relief zone, right? In conjunction with supply and I'll be making a video for you guys About this, you know, this trade setup in a lot more detail in the members area But for the guys who are watching this on youtube, this Is going to be the first area to look for You know your sell trade If you're looking to buy the the US dollar So anywhere around here and then if that doesn't work out then, you know, basically This is going to be the area to look to get short From a long trade perspective At the moment, I'd probably say This is going to be the first area to potentially look for any kind of Long trades and then you've got a level right here as well Yeah, within this wide area of demand So those are your areas that you'd be looking for potential long trades Now moving on to the last currency pair, which is going to be the Aussie yen Aussie yen Loading bars so we saw last week and we did bounce off of this area of Demand right here again risk being on this week. So some positivity on the Australian dollar Let's go to Aussie yen So this is what we've seen and We're caught between really this high here the supply zone and this demand zone here So again, what we'll be looking for at the moment is just either sell trade there or buy trade Right here again, keep your eye on risk sentiment stock market gold Treasury bonds depending on which way they're going even the the vixx volatility index if that starts to you know, go higher then Usually that would mean That money would be flowing into the Japanese yen Or potentially flowing into the Japanese yen as well, right? But um Other than that, I think if we do get some sort of a positivity And risk on environment then you know, um, we could see prices break through this Supply zone right here and then pretty much end up around here fast first so we could see risk off And then that'd be your next trade to end up buying the uh, the Australian dollar.

Even though Donald Trump lost this election, I think it's pretty obvious that had he not bungled this pandemic He probably would have won now. There's no way to prove this. This is basically just speculation That's really difficult to quantify, but nonetheless when you see that Democrats underperformed the polls and Trump somehow grew his vote share. I mean, it's a really bad sign for Democrats And so basically regardless if you agree with that analysis or not I think that it's clear Democrats have to make some substantial changes if they want to prevent a full GOP takeover of our government in 2024 actually improve people's lives changed leadership Take action to prove to people that you're fighting for them. Otherwise You might not win. I mean the pandemic Really was the key factor here in this election But we're already off to a pretty bad start because Democrats predictably are proving that they haven't learned a single Thing because after losing seats in the House of Representatives, the same members of House leadership will remain in House leadership Steny Hoyer, Jim Clyburn, and of course Nancy Pelosi. She will remain House Speaker Once again, but don't worry because we're supposed to be relieved that this is probably going to be her last term I'm not necessarily banking on that. But still when you lose an election Or you do worse an election under your leadership The thing to do if you care about the party is to resign But the only individual in democratic party leadership that actually resigned is sherry boostos Who was the chairwoman of the d triple c But we all know that that's probably because she's going to get a job in biden's administration So after they performed worse Then everyone was expecting then the polls indicated we see zero change in leadership That's insane It tells me that this party is not serious about winning But let's hear from House Democrats because they spoke after they were victorious and remaining in leadership And everything they said was completely wrong and idiotic Nancy Pelosi A voice for the voiceless A defender of the disenfranchised a legendary legislator a notorious negotiator and a powerful profound prophetic principled public servant Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thank you so much, mr. Chairman for your kind words I always accept any compliments on behalf of the house democratic caucus Because they enable any of what we do to be possible by their courage their integrity and they're just a Beautiful vision for a better america I am pleased to look to the 117th congress But i'm focused on the 116th congress We need to get work done for the american people they need right now. We must in this congress respond to the dreams and aspirations of the children and their families And I am hopeful That we can work together within our caucus and reaching out across the aisle To get done what needs to be done So in other words, there's not going to be a strategy change because there is not going to be a change in leadership And it's just it almost made my head explode when jeffrey said that nancy plosie is A voice for the voiceless Someone who has millions and millions of dollars and two 12 000 dollar refrigerators who looks the other way When more than 50 000 americans die every single year because they don't have health care That's not necessarily someone who I'd describe as a voice for the voiceless So in two years if democrats lose even more ground in the house and lose the house altogether I wouldn't be surprised if um, we see no leadership changes again Because democrats in the house have proven that they care more about self-aggrandizement and their own personal power Ambitions than they care about the party and delivering for people, but that's only the house Let's check in on the senate Maybe democrats in the senate have a little bit better, you know of a grasp of what they need to do To stop republicans from taking back power So who controls the senate is going to come down to two runoff races in georgia Let's check in on one of those races to see what one of the candidates john ossoff stands for Do you support the green new deal? No Do you support medicare for all? No Do you support dc statehood? Yes. Do you support port rican statehood? Yes Do you support defunding the police? No. Do you support abolishing ice? No Do you support expanding the supreme court? No Do you support ending the filibuster? Maybe So he's gonna blow it Now he is neck and neck with david purdue and i hope that he wins Because to have democrats in control of the senate that allows us to exert a lot of pressure on them I don't want them using a will republicans control the senate as an excuse I don't want them using mitch mcconnell as an excuse for their failures if they don't deliver I want them to be blamed for it.  I hope he pulls it off, but It shouldn't be this close It shouldn't be neck and neck you have to stand for something stand for anything And after seeing that incumbent democrats who supported medicare for all won even in red and swing districts You should at least adopt one progressive policy But john ossoff is a corporate clown so if he wins it'll be by the skin of his teeth And I hope he pulls it off Now um, there's another area of opportunity for democrats So donald trump just announced that he's withdrawing some troops from iraq and afghanistan Now democrats can use this opportunity to attack donald trump from the left and say mr president You should be bringing all of the troops home So what are they doing? Let's look to uh, tammy duckworth who is a veteran who speaks out about foreign policy issues pretty frequently What is she saying? How is she holding donald trump accountable? All of the military commanders have spoken up and said this is the wrong thing to do We want our troops home, but let's not bring them home into in body bags And that's potentially what's going to happen if this president gets his way and puts his own political timeline ahead of our national security We've been there for 20 years tammy How much longer do we have to stay there to ensure that we bring our troops home safely? I mean the argument that she's using doesn't even make sense and understand how ridiculous this is You are to the right of a president on foreign policy who just last week wanted to bomber on When it comes to foreign policy, you should never ever lose the moral ground to that psychopath But here we are you are lambasting him for uh, not Staying in iraq and afghanistan when you should be criticizing him for not bringing home 100 of the troops So congressional democrats are just clueless, but maybe joe biden Is going to do a little bit better. Maybe There's some things that he's going to do We've seen pressure from elizabeth warn and chuck schumer on joe biden to cancel $50,000 of student debt for each student Via executive action. So when he was asked about this, what did he say the student loan forgiveness figure in your plan? Would you take executive action to achieve it? It does figure in my plan. I've laid out in detail. For example the Uh, the legislation passed by the democratic house calls for immediate $10,000 forgiveness of student loans. It's holding people up. They're in real trouble They're having to make choices between paying their student loan and paying the rent those kinds of decisions It should be done immediately in addition to that if you know I think that everything from community college Straight through doing doubling Pell grants to making sure that we have access free education for anyone making under 125 thousand dollars for four years of college And there is a program that exists now under the law that forgives student loans for Being able to engage in their engaging in public service I've I've gonna institute that fundamental change in that so it is able to be available to everyone That in fact is engaged. It's not being very well managed right now. So I'm gonna do all of those things So, I mean, I guess I can get behind a means tested version of free college. That's better than nothing But um when it comes to cancelling just $10,000 of student debt That is not going to do much It's not going to uh have that big of an impact in the grand scheme of things at the macro level And furthermore if you truly expect to only make that happen through congress Well, if republicans retain control of the senate, that's not gonna happen. So I mean Why even be hopeful?   Well, quote biden hopes to avoid divisive trump investigations preferring unity Shocker biden has told aides that he's concerned that investigations would divide the country But that he would leave decisions up to an independent justice department.   Let's just do some incremental things It's like a never-ending cycle that uh constantly Repeats itself and there's just no hope of escaping the cycle. It's frustrating not surprising. I'll be it still frustrating


In astronomy and cosmology, dark fluid is an alternative theory to both dark matter and dark energy and attempts to explain both phenomena in a single framework. Dark fluid proposes that dark matter and dark energy are not separate physical phenomena as previously thought, nor do they have separate origins, but that they are strongly linked together and can be considered as two facets of a single fluid. At galactic scales, the dark fluid behaves like dark matter, and at larger scales its behavior becomes similar to dark energy. Our observations within the scales of the Earth and the Solar System are currently insufficient to explain the gravitational effects observed at such larger scales. Two major conundrums have arisen in astrophysics and cosmology in recent times, both dealing with the laws of gravity. The first was the realization that there aren't enough visible stars or gas inside galaxies to account for their high rate of rotation. The theory of dark matter was created to explain this phenomenon. It theorizes that the galaxies are spinning as fast as they are because there is more matter in those galaxies including our own Milky Way than can be seen by counting the mass of stars and gas alone, and that this unseen dark matter is invisible because it doesn't interact with the electromagnetic force from which all forms of a light come.
