Welcome to the DockerCon Cube coverage here in the main stage, Suhindra Rao, development manager at JFrog. Welcome to theCUBE, you guys have been on many times with JFrog on theCUBE, great product, you guys are doing great, congratulations on all the six things that are coming on theCUBE. Thank you, thank you for having me. So I'm really interested in talking about the supply chain, package management, supply chain and software workflow, huge discussion. This is one of the hottest issues that's being solved on by, within DevOps and DevSecOps in the planet. It's all over the news. A real challenge, open source is growing so fast and so successful with cloud scale and with automation. As you guys know, you got to know what's trusted. So you got to build trust into the product itself so developers don't have to do all the rework. Everyone kind of knows this right now. And this is a key problem you guys are solving. So I got to ask you, what is the package management issue? Why is this such an important topic when you're talking about security? Yeah, so if you look at how software is built today, about 80 to 90% of that is open source. And currently the way we pull those open source libraries, we just have blind trust in repositories that are central and we rely on whatever mechanism they have built to establish that trust with the developer who is building it. And from our experience, we have learned that that is not sufficient. That is not sufficient to tell us that that particular developer built that end product and whatever code that they built is actually coming out in the end product. So we need something to bridge that gap. We need a trustworthy mechanism there to bridge that gap. And then there are a few other elements to it. All these central repositories are prone to single point of failures. And we have all experienced what happens when one of those goes down and how it stops production and how it stops just software development, right? And what we are working on is how do we build a system where we can actually have liquid software as a reality and just continue to build software regardless of all these systems being live all the time and also have an implicit way of mechanism to trust what is coming out of those systems. You know, we've talked with you guys in the past about the building blocks of software and what flows through the pipelines. All that stuff's part of what is automated these days and important. And I got to ask you because security these days is like, don't trust anything. You know, here it's you're trusting software to be in essence verified. I'm simplifying obviously. So I got to ask you what is being done to solve this problem because states change.  All this is on the table now but what is currently being done to solve the problem because it's really hard. Yeah, it is a really hard problem. And currently, right, when we develop software we have a team which we work with and we trust whatever is coming out of the team and we have a, what do you call certified production mechanism to build that software and actually release it to our customers. And when it is done in-house, it is easy because we control all the pieces. Now what happens when we are doing this with open source? We don't have that chain. We need that chain which is independent. We just independent of where the software was produced versus where it is going to be used. We need a way to have provenance of how it was built which parts actually went in making the end product and what are the things that we see are continuing evidences that this software can use. So if there is a vulnerability that is discovered now that is discovered and it is released in some database and we need to do corrective action to say that this vulnerability is associated with this version and there is no automated mechanism. So we are working on an automated mechanism where it can run a command which will tell you what has happened with this piece of software, this version of it and whether it is production worthy or not. It's a great goal I got to say but I'll tell you, I can guarantee there's going to be a ton of skeptics on this. Security people, oh, I doubt it's going to be always a backdoor. What's the relationship with Docker? How do you guys see this evolving? Obviously it's a super important mission. It's not a trend that's going to go away. Supply chain software is here to stay. It's not going to go away. And we saw this in hardware and everyone kind of knows kind of what happens when you see these vulnerabilities. You got to have trusted software, right? This is going to be continuing. What's the relationship with DockerCon? What are you guys doing with Docker and here at DockerCon? So when we actually started working on this project both Docker and JFrog had similar ideas in mind of how do we make this trust mechanism available to anyone who wants it whether they are interacting with Docker Hub or regardless of that, right? And how do we actually make it a mechanism that just provides this kind of trust without the developer having to do something. So what we work with Docker is actually integrating our solution so that anywhere that is Docker being used currently people don't have to change those behaviors or change those code lines, right? Because changing the single line of code in hundreds of systems, hundreds of CI systems is going to be really hard. And we wanted to build a seamless integration between Docker and the solution that we are building so that you can continue to do Dockerflow and Dockerpush but get all the benefits of the supply chain security solution that we have. Okay, so let's step back for a minute and just discuss about the project. What is the project and where's the commercial JFrog Docker intersect? Take a break that I had to step up with the project first. What's the intended goals? What is the project? Where is it? How do people get involved? And how does that intersect with the commercial interests of JFrog and Docker? Yeah, my favorite topic to talk about. So the project is called Persia. Persia is an open source project. It is an effort that started with JFrog and Docker but by no means limited to just JFrog and Docker contributing. We already have five companies contributing. We are actually building a working product which we'll demo during our talk. And there is more to come. There's more to come. It is being built iteratively. And the solution is basically to provide a decentralized mechanism similar to how you do things with Git so that you have the packages that you are using available at your nearest peer. There's also going to be a multi load build verification mechanism and all of the information about the packages that you're going to use will be available on a provenance law. So you can always query that and find out what is the latest state of affairs, what vulnerabilities were discovered and make quick decisions. And you don't have to react after the fact after it has been in the news for a while. So you can react to your customers needs as quick as they happen. And we feel that our emphasis on open source is key here because given our experience, you know, 80 to 90% of software that is packaged contains open source. And there is no way currently which are no engineering mechanisms currently that give us that confidence that whatever we are building and whatever we are dependencies we are pulling is actually worthwhile putting it into production. I mean, you're really, it's a great service. I mean, think about like all that's coming out of open source. Open source has become very social too. People are starting projects just to code and get in the community and hang out and just get in the fray and just do stuff. And then you see venture capital is coming in, funding those projects. It's a new economic system as well, not just code. So I can see this pipeline beautifully up for scale. How do people get involved with this project? Because again, my question is all gonna be around integration, how frictionless it is. That's going to be the challenge you mentioned that. So I can see people getting involved. What's, how do people join? What do they do? What can they do here at DockerCon? Yeah, so we have a website, persia.io, P-Y-R-S-I-A.io. And you'll find all kinds of information there. We have a GitHub presence. We have community meetings that are open to public. We are all doing this under the under the umbrella of Linux Foundation. We had a bootstrap project within Linux Foundation. So people who have interest in all these areas can come in, just attend those meetings, add comments or just attend our standups. So we are running it like an agile from process. We are doing standups, we are doing retrospectives and we are doing planning and we are iteratively building this. So what you will see at DockerCon is just a little bit of a teaser of what we have built so far and what you can expect to see in future such events. So Hydra, thanks for coming on the queue. We've got 30 seconds left. Put a quick plug in for the swamp up coming up. Yeah, so we will talk a lot more about persia and our open source efforts and how we would like you all to collaborate. We'll be at swamp up in San Diego on May 26th, May 24th to 26th. So hope to see you there. Just hope to discuss more about persia and see what he will do with this project. Thank you. All right, thanks for coming on the queue. Back to the main stage. I'm John Furrier with theCUBE. Thanks for watching. Thank you.


What's going on guys today? I am back with another destiny 2 top 5 video And today we have top 5 three cat reactions of the week and headphone users You may just want to turn on that volume just a little bit But before we get into the video guys, do you want to win some epic loot? If so, I've got emblem calls, sparrow calls, gift cards and much much more to win some simply drop a like on a video Leave a comment down below and join my discord server links within the video description But guys, I hope you enjoy the video and I will catch you on that next one Yeah, and I needed hard but I wanted hardline borealis.  Yeah Well, I finished all my milestones. So, you know, I have Pretty much nothing else to do. So I was running strikes.   I just got the fidget sweet. I just finally got it. I just finally got it.


So as you know, if you've watched the channel for the last few months since the beginning of the year, I've been trying to Aggressively tackle the idea of protecting my privacy and data Now there are some areas where I'm still kind of working on that or thinking about it I suppose so I have to use Google Docs for work So obviously I still have to have Google account and of course I run a YouTube channel So I have to have a Google account So Google's gonna have some of my data whether I like it or not unfortunately But I've thought about this for months prior to this year and as I've gone along in this journal journey of ways that I can still Protect my privacy and my data in ways even if I can't completely divorce myself away from Google So I've made several videos in this series so far and they have not always been the most popular but I've Hardened myself to those failures basically when it comes to YouTube views and considerate this is a very important subject And I want to continue on with it even if the videos themselves aren't all that popular So today I'm gonna be talking about the biggest step that I'm taken so far in terms of protecting my data and privacy And that is virtualizing everything now the idea behind this is fairly simple Everything that you do on the internet goes through a virtual machine instead of your main machine now The general idea of course is the same as what you'd expect from something like cubes OS cubes OS is a very virtualized operating system where everything Including like the printer service runs in its own VM. So everything's very compartmentalized and can only talk with each other in very controlled circumstances now I'm not going that far I'm not running cubes Although I'm thinking about trying it instead what I've done is just create a couple VMs in KVM And I've been using them for most of my browsing when I don't need to be signed into something so While this doesn't always protect my data like there are more steps that I'm going to take so like I'm going to always enable of VPN while I'm in certain Virtual machines and I'm going to make sure that my Browsers are as hardened as possible in terms of avoiding trackers and all that stuff It's still not going to be perfect. But the idea here is to separate out as much as possible my data That I don't want sent to Google based on my own personal Google account to Into its own like little silos. So let me show you what I've done so far. So this is a Debian virtual machine now first of all, I've chosen Debian for two reasons one I wanted to use Nala again Nala's fantastic. So I decided to use that The other one is that and the main one really is that Debian is super stable I want to have all my virtual machines to be as stable as possible Mainly because I don't want to have to go through and do a ton of maintenance on them I don't want to have to go through every single one of them and update them constantly like I would have to do if I Chose, you know, Gen 2 or Arch Linux or Fedora or something like that. Instead. I've chosen Debian which if I don't update this for a month, it's not going to be that big of a deal It's also Debian stable. So it's even more so I don't have to worry about updating this for a long period of time And that just means that the maintenance costs for me go way down Also, again, it's very very stable. So I don't have to worry about it crashing or breaking or whatever if I don't do a ton of stupid things to it So the idea here is that I can have a hardened browser So in this case, I'm going to be using LibreWolf eventually. I still got to get it on Debian first But I think I can install the flat pack of it So we'll worry about that as I go along But the idea is to use a browser that is hardened as possible that doesn't have trackers I'm going to use as many extensions as I need to in order to prevent myself from being tracked I'm going to install MaldVad through WireGuard. So I have my VPN here set to run all the time So the basic idea here is to create a container that I can do the vast majority of my browsing in Without having to be signed into anything. So if I wanted to go to YouTube, I could go to YouTube here and do as much Surfing on YouTube as I want to and well, yes, Google's still going to get some data They're not going to have it associated with my actual YouTube account now There are other things that I can do. So there's a YouTube front end that uses you can access Google But without sending any of that data, I'm probably going to look into using that I can't remember the name of it. It's like NVIDIAs and maybe it is NVIDIAs something like that. I'm not Yeah, NVIDIAs. Yeah, I knew that I knew that so there are different instances that people host that you can You can use and that will get you to all of YouTube But without having to deal with any of the nonsense YouTube, you know, is going to be Offering you in terms of data collection and all that stuff So I'm going to be using that if I wanted to access things from my TikTok There's a front-end version of TikTok that I can use that is open source There's a front-end version for Reddit that I can use so I don't have to get you know Sign in to my Reddit account or any of that stuff as much of that stuff as I can is going to be happening right here in this virtual Machine as much as possible so that I don't that I can avoid as much as possible as I said Giving out that data now like I said nothing is perfect and it's going to be a continual process as I go along So I'm gonna I'm sure I'm going to be making mistakes They're like I just visited YouTube, but you know YouTube now knows that I visited it So it's going to have some data and it probably stored a cookie or 12,000 on my browser here But another thing that I'll probably do is they'll set it up so that every time I close the browser It deletes everything in terms of personal data. So that's one area there that can save you some Trackers and stuff like that as well. I believe LibreWolf when I get that installed does that automatically So that's another thing that I can do. So I'm doing this in multiple VMs So one of them is going to be where I spend all of my time working. So Any time that I need to do any browsing for my job, I'll go in there I'll have another one for just general internet use where I don't need to be signed into anything and can use invidious or whatever to do my browsing on YouTube and watch my cat videos and Watch my train videos and things like that that I spend an inordinate amount of time on YouTube actually doing so I can do all That stuff in as private a manner as possible Another thing that this allows me to do is kind of segment my workflow in a way that I haven't really been able to do before When I just used a regular like Firefox or whatever was in My Firefox with all my tabs and stuff like that keeping my attention on the things that I was supposed to do is kind of hard Because I have all of my tabs opening. I you know, I have a whole bunch of fan fiction open or I have all the ideas for videos I have open and you know, I have like a hundred tabs open Everybody knows that I'm a tab hoarder by doing this while I'm not saying I'm not going to hoard tabs Which I probably will end up doing they'll be on their own virtual machine So all of my tabs for work will be hoarded in one place all my tabs for pleasure and leisure will be in another So it'll allow me to segment my workflow and my daily use of the computer of just a little bit more now Like I said at the beginning, I'm not sure how this will end up. It's going to be something that I'm going to have to actively Do to begin with so I'm so used to being able to turn my computer on in the morning and just open up Firefox and Start right where I left off the previous day. I'm so used to being able to do that now Instead I'll have to get into the habit of opening up vert manager and opening up the appropriate virtual machine and then starting off from there And it's going to take a little bit of time for me to establish those habits and get everything customized the way that I Want it to be customized because I can't use a desktop environment that is not customized in some form of fashion I'm going to try to leave them as vanilla as possible. Believe it or not But there are some things like key bindings and stuff like that that I'll have to Make mine in order for me to be comfortable using them. So we'll see how that goes chances are I mean you guys don't know me I'm gonna race the crap out of these things or not supposed to use the word rice I'm gonna theme the crap out of these things As much as possible probably I mean, it's just almost inevitable But again, that's for later on down the road This is more of an experiment to see if this makes any, you know difference or if it's just a placebo effect It's possible that I do all this work and stuff like that and I give away just as much data as I always have In fact, it's probably likely but I'm hoping that over time I come up with more that I can do inside of these VMs That will continue to protect to my privacy and data as much as possible as I go along because I'm still a noob when it comes to This kind of stuff. So I want it's going to be a learning process and as usual. I'll take you guys along for the ride I'm sure that they're going to be more Videos on this type of thing Over the course of this year because this year was the year where I'm going to start Caring about my data privacy and stuff like that. So the journey is long and hard but We're on our way. So that's it for this video if you have thoughts on this whole process You can leave those in the comment section below. I'd love to hear from you You can follow me on masses on our odyssey those links will be in a video description You can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash the Linux cast links for libera pay and YouTube will be in the video description as well. Thanks to everybody who does support me on patreon YouTube You guys are all absolutely amazing without you the channel just not be anywhere near where it is right now So thank you very very much for your support. I truly do appreciate it. You guys are awesome I've had some people ask me about Alternative ways to support me right now the bear pays really the only other option and honestly I don't really care for libera pay all that much. That's probably gonna go away So if anybody has an alternative to patreon that I can use or that you'd be interested in supporting me through Let me know in the comment section below. Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you You


E.B. White is the author of such tragic, shockingly tragic children's books like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, which I'll talk about today. He's also the author of my favorite sentence in the English language because it correctly uses five prepositions in a row. It's about a father going upstairs to read a book to his son who's in bed, but he brings the wrong book so the little boy says, what did you bring that book that I don't like being read to out of up for? Read to out of up for. Now Stuart Little, okay this book made a big impression on me when I read it, of course I read it many years ago when I was like 31. And it's about this mouse, a little mouse, it was actually the cause of the little controversy because a woman gave birth to this mouse that offended a lot of people's religion. But this mouse, you can imagine it's a pretty severe disability to be two inches tall, but the mouse is completely cavalier and is so inspirational the way he just takes on life. He'll get on, he'll ride buses by hanging on to people's pants so that he can make that big step from the ground to the bus. There's a little bird that comes visit them and he fights off a cat with a little bow and arrow that he made out of a paper clip and he's such a cool dude, he doesn't even take credit for it in the morning. The bird was sleeping during the attack and he just keeps her safe and doesn't even take credit. He sees a principal of a school crying, the steward comes up to him and says, what's wrong? He says, my teachers aren't here, I don't know what I'm going to do. The steward's like, don't worry, I'll teach the class. And that's probably the only time in the book, yes, I can find politics even in stewart little, that libertarians would be taken a little bit of a back because stewart gets up on the table and starts talking to the students about how reasonable all these socialist ideas are. Not a big deal, but it's pretty ridiculous, that little section of the book saying that, oh gosh darn, it's just common sense, if I'm king of the world I'll make all these laws against everything bad and everything will be great, everything's reasonable. So you're reading through this book and then near the end and it's a fun children's story and it goes through all these adventures which probably lends itself to bedtime reading.  I love that bird, I'm going to go look for that bird. And you're like, oh it's hard to find just a bird somewhere in the world, but you give some creative license to the author and you say, okay maybe this is possible somehow, like a quest. Although usually quests start at the beginning of a book not at the end.    And the girl's like, don't worry, it's no big deal, let's do something else. And stewart's like, no, I don't want to do anything else. It was perfect and now it's ruined. And the girl's like trying to cheer him up, like come on let's go dancing. I've always wanted to dance but I never had a partner because she's also two inches tall. And stewart's like, no, I don't want to do that, I don't want to do anything.  It's very shocking. And this will be a book review under five minutes long. Finally, have a good day.


Topic one, what exactly is poo? Now, what's fascinating to most people is we've always been told that our bowel movement is basically unused food particles that weren't absorbed from our small intestine and large intestine. Believe it or not, I was taught that in medical school. And that was before we actually learned about the microbiome. And for those of you who have listened to me, the microbiome is those hundreds of trillions of bacteria, about four to five pounds of bacteria that live in your primarily colon, but also in your small bowel.  So the vast majority of what comes out of your rare end is actually living bacteria. And that's what's so interesting. The vast majority is not residual things that you ate. It's the bacteria that ate what you ate. Now, why didn't we know that? Well, it turns out that so many of the bacteria, particularly that live in our colon, cannot live in oxygen. They're what are called anaerobic bacteria. Bacteria that can live on oxygen are called aerobic bacteria like aerobic exercising. And for those of you hit junkies, anaerobic exercise is when your muscles no longer burn oxygen and have to produce lactic acid. Anyhow, most bacteria in our colon are anaerobic. And it's very difficult to grow anaerobic bacteria in traditional culture medium. So for years and years and years, we actually had no idea how much of our poop was bacteria. But thanks to the human microbiome project, we now know that actually the vast majority of what you're pooping out is dead bacteria, pieces of bacteria and living bacteria. So these bacteria get made by eating the foods that you eat. And that's where it gets into some very interesting things about feeding bacteria what you want them to eat. And as most of you know, who've read or listened to the longevity paradox, there's a big difference between the bacteria that you want living in you and the bacteria that you don't want living into you. And that's why we're going to talk about this today. So first question, what should a good poop look like? Well, there's no absolute definition of you having a perfectly looking poop. If you listen to my good friend Dr. Terry Walls, when you have a bowel movement, you should look into the toilet and see a giant coiled snake looking back at you. And those of you who have heard this story when I was writing the plant paradox, I actually in my unedited edition said that when you look into the toilet, you should see a giant anaconda looking back up at you. And my dear editor Julie Wills said, you realize there is a movie called Anaconda where an anaconda comes out of an airline toilet. And she said, I don't think we want that visual in the book, so we changed it to a coiled snake. The point is you want a large mass staring up at you from the toilet bowl. And if it looks like soft serve ice cream, that's okay. If it looks harder and has markings, that's also okay. What you don't really want to see is actually floaters. If you have consistently floating stool, that means it actually has a high fat content.  And that actually can mean that you have a digestive enzyme insufficiency. And it's one of the first things to spot. If you've got floating stools, then one of the first things I recommend doing is getting yourself some digestive enzymes. And those can be both bile acids and pancreatic enzymes. These are readily available. You actually don't have to spend a lot of money. And just start taking digestive enzymes with your meals and report back to see if you've got some nice sinkers in your stool. Now, topic two, why is poop important? Those of you who have done water fasting or juice fasting may have noticed that you will lose about three to five pounds in a three or maybe four-day water fast. And most people think this is miraculous weight loss. But what you've actually done, and you probably noticed this in the bathroom, is you took away the food that your gut bacteria generally eats. And so that weight loss is interestingly enough that four to five pounds of bacteria that make you their home. So rather than some miracle, that weight loss is just those bacteria not eating and in a way starving to death. I've done this so many times I get a kick out of it. If I go on a three-day water fast, I will, no matter what my weight is, lose about three to five pounds. And then when I start eating, I will once again gain those three to five pounds, maybe minus one pound for the three days that I didn't eat anything. But it always comes back, and that's because I'm regrowing my microbiome. So the more you think about what's living inside of you, and as I talk about the longevity paradox, what's living inside of you is incredibly important for your long-term health. Now what's equally as important, and this is where we get into constipation and diarrhea and bloating. We know that there are bacteria that should normally exist in all of us. Again, there's at least 10,000 different bacteria that have now been discovered that potentially can make us their home. And this number goes up all the time. About six months ago, another 1,000 species of bacteria were discovered through the microbiome project. The problem is the vast majority of us have very few species of those 10,000 bacteria. And that's because of what I talk about. Number one, we all take too many antibiotics. Now don't hear me wrong. Antibiotics properly administered can be life-saving, and that's not what I want you to hear. In other words, antibiotics properly done should be life-saving. But we use them excessively for colds, the flu, which they don't work on. Most of our ailments that we catch are viruses that antibiotics don't work on. They're in almost all of our conventionally raised animal products, whether it's the beef you eat, the chicken you eat, the pork you eat, because they've been fed to these animals to make them fatten up quickly. Antibiotics are in our water supply. It's something that really can't be filtered out by water treatment plants. So we're under this constant barrage of things that destroy our microbiome. And the most recent addition to the problem is glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. Glyphosate was patented as an antibiotic. It absolutely destroys gut bacteria. And it's one of the main reasons I think our health has deteriorated and our bowel problems have increased. So normally we have this huge, great, diverse flora of microbiome but they're waiting for you to feed them. But so many of us, that microbiome is very deficient and we have very few bugs doing the work. Now the bugs we do have in general fall into two categories and you've heard me talk about good guys or gut buddies and gang members. And the good guys, let's start focusing on them first. The good guys actually like what are called prebiotics. Prebiotics are primarily what used to be called soluble fiber and will come to insoluble fiber in a little bit. But soluble fiber are long-chain sugars. They're called polysaccharides. And these sugar molecules are very difficult for us to digest in our stomach and our small intestine. And they arrive undigested primarily into our colon where they are eaten by the gut buddies. The more of these long-chain sugars that you eat, the more the gut buddies eat and they make little gut buddies. So you've got family after family of gut buddies. And what's fascinating with soluble fiber is that you get giant poops because that soluble fiber is eaten by your gut buddies and they make more gut buddies. And so that's where these big giant poops come from. Now insoluble fiber is the exact opposite and as its name implies, insoluble fiber cannot be digested by any bacteria. And what's interesting about insoluble fiber is I like you to think of insoluble fiber as swallowing razor blades or nails. And there's very good proof that insoluble fiber actually irritates the lining of your intestines and you are so irritated from these razor blades going through you that it makes you have a bowel movement. It actually stimulates you to have a bowel movement because you're trying to get rid of these things. What's fascinating is most insoluble fiber is from the halls of grains. So for instance, wheat germ is all insoluble fiber. Wheat germ agglutinin is one of the worst lectins and it's insoluble fiber. The insoluble fiber on the lining of barley or rye is insoluble fiber. And so the things that so many people take to promote regularity are actually some of the worst things that you can use for bowel health. And I've talked about this in the past. The idea of fiber being healthy was discovered by an English surgeon by the name of Dennis Burkett. English surgeons, and I was one of them in my training, are called Mr. rather than Doctor. So he is Mr. Dennis Burkett. And some people know him from Burkett's lymphoma, which he discovered and named. But he was a colon surgeon who went on missionary work to Africa to operate on poor African people who had colon problems. And unfortunately when he got there, he couldn't find any colon disease. He couldn't find diverticulosis. He couldn't find diverticulitis. He couldn't find colon cancer. What the heck? You know, what am I going to do down here? And he became fascinated by the giant mountains of poops that these Africans would have. And he said, well, he became a poop fanatic. And he would go around following these Africans out into the field and measuring their poops, photographing their poops. And he said, wow, it's these giant poops that are preventing them from having these colon diseases. And he saw that they were primarily eating prebiotic fiber, mostly in the form of yams. And so he said, aha, it's the fiber in these yams that they're eating that makes them resistant to colon cancer and diverticulitis. So fiber is what we should be eating. He got back to England. And England had a lot of fiber as foods, but they were in the form of wheat and oats and rye and barley. And they actually didn't have a lot of yams and sweet potatoes. He didn't know, but he thought fiber is fiber. So the idea that you should be eating fiber came from him observing soluble fiber and not realizing that insoluble fiber was actually a problem. So that's where the entire concept of fiber being beneficial. So people like Dr. Terry Walls and I will tell you that, you know, having these giant mounds of poop every day is a great idea. Now, should you have one or two or three, again, it really depends on how much soluble fiber is going into your diet every day.  That's a lot of vegetables.  And I would say that's about, oh, six or seven cups of various lettuces and leaves every day. On the other hand, most people on a practical basis cannot do that. So that's the way that the idea of getting prebiotics, either in a form of powder or even in the form of capsules, came about. And there are a lot of ways to get prebiotics in you. Again, some of my favorite prebiotics are inulin. You can buy it as a powder. You can buy it as a sweetener. You can find it in, for instance, the sweetener sweet leaf. It's also in the sweetener just like sugar. Inulin is very present in the chicory family of vegetables like radicchio, the Italian red lettuce. It's not a lettuce at all. In frisee in Belgian endive, it's really present in artichoke hearts and artichokes. It's great in Jerusalem artichokes. Some people call it sun chokes. Another option that's very cheap is you can get psyllium powder, which is a great prebiotic. You can actually use flax seeds. Ground flax seeds are a great prebiotic. Another option is to get yourself apple pectin. It's readily available. It's really cheap. It's another great prebiotic. One of my favorite prebiotics is modified citrus pectin. Now, unfortunately, it's pretty expensive, but it's been actually shown to break up what are called biofilms, a bad bacteria in your intestines. I use it extensively in my patients who have really bad markers of biofilms in their intestines, and we can measure this on blood tests. Many times, what I see in most of my patients with diarrhea and or constipation are eating a very high lectin diet. Just remember that lectins break the tight junctions on the lining of our gut, and not only does that allow lectins into our gut wall, but spoiler alert, it's actually caused water entering the lining of our gut and into our bowels. This was actually discovered by Dr. Fasano from Johns Hopkins, who realized that cholera, and most of us have heard of cholera, it's one of the most deadly diseases there is, and cholera victims die of massive, massive watery diarrhea. Dr. Fasano was fascinated with, well, why does the cholera bacteria cause this? And he found that the cholera bacteria actually broke tight junctions, and when those tight junctions broke, water from our bloodstream and our lymph flooded into our gut, and that caused the diarrhea. And it was that observation that he learned that gluten, which is lectin, uses the exact same pathway as cholera does to break tight junctions. So, spoiler alert number one, if you have a problem with diarrhea, the first thing I want you to do is get lectins out of your diet, and I think you'll be rather impressed with what happens, and that's one of the first things I do with any of my patients. The second warning I have, and a lot of my patients with diarrhea, do not realize that even foods in the future that are going to be really good for you to eat, particularly raw vegetables, raw cruciferous vegetables in particular, have lectins in them, and believe it or not, there is a lectin in spinach that some of us react to, raw. When we ingest those, and we're having problems with diarrhea, it often makes the diarrhea worse. So, if I have a patient with gut issues with diarrhea, I don't let them have raw vegetables, raw cruciferous vegetables first. They can have them, but they basically got to cook them within an inch of their life, particularly in a pressure cooker. So, if you've got diarrhea and you're listening to me and you're reading the plant paradox, in there kind of hidden saying, hey, if you've got intestinal issues and diarrhea, don't start with the three-day cleanse and don't eat a lot of raw vegetables, and it's a really good trick to remember. More amazing episodes just like this one. Watch now. I wrap all my supplements. I'm so disgusted.  I can't function. After three days, my wife comes in and says, you know, honey, I think you ought to take these again. I take them. And 24 hours later, I can get up and go to work, and I think, now, that is really interesting.

They're just yet from a market breadth standpoint and the azdec 100 That is just so the 60 minute is got negative market breadth 240 daily and weekly have positive So that's where we're out with regard to market breadth for the nasdaq and for the s and p 500 Let's go out to our first caller. It is john in philly. John. Thanks for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you today? Do we have john good afternoon? Good morning, steve. Uh, john here in philly Perfect. Perfect. How are you this morning? Uh, very good, and I apologize in advance if my phone reception is poor That's okay And if it cuts out I will end this call Possibly without notice So if that occurs my apologies in advance Don't move your head. Just keeping that exact position right right right now. You got a good signal Exactly. I'm doing my best my friend. Okay, good. I'll get to help you Steve I'd like to just share with you and your listeners And reinforce in my own thinking The topic of the nasdaq 100 constituent Rebalancing that comes into play monday morning to open perfect And uh, steve, uh, this This topic, uh At least for me and our conversation here Will not impact or I won't suggest it will impact Uh, the trend Within the nasdaq 100 But I thought I would uh, uh, share this with you in advance Uh, so you've heard it So that you uh, so that everybody can contemplate Some of the implications sure sure Or we're talking about seven stocks, right? Or five stocks Exactly yes, yes, okay I have uh, every day. I've done an internet search looking for the reported Uh, constituent weighting changes And uh, either I am a very poor researcher on the internet or Uh, that information is being withheld to the public. Uh, it's one or the other. I don't know um What I will share with you is this If the constituent Waitings if they're changed in a meaningful amount Uh, the idea I share is that From monday forward The nasdaq index Uh, and the historical nasdaq index Will be akin to Oranges in the future and apples in the past meaning Steve if We do Say finacci retracement calculations Next week next month next quarter That we will be dealing with effectively two different items And as a consequence steve It's important to keep them keep in mind That say next week next month next quarter if we get pullbacks of the nasdaq 100 And we use our daily price charts And we do say finacci support calculations that sort of thing Those would by necessity be inaccurate to some extent right Right, I agree with that and And and therefore I just wanted to uh reinforce in my own thinking Share with you and your listeners that's starting next week That uh, we be there that we exercise caution In believing our technical calculations Specifically when it comes to calculating support levels Based upon the rally that has occurred thus far Because We will be dealing with apples and oranges.

Uh, down's up to 50 s and p of 15 aztec one or down 203 Just as a follow-up john uh, john went ahead and hung up Thought he shared enough with everybody with regard to the rebalancing. So let me share This with with you john and with everybody else as well. So I had that same thoughts Um, you know, even this morning while in the shower the sona would have you saying and I've got if I'd love to figure out What those new weightings are going to be now? I started looking into this in the early part of of the week when uh when it was mentioned I was either this week or last week. I think it was this week and um, I too was doing some searching So let me tell you what I've what I have found so far First I found an interview. I think it was done on c nbc yesterday or the day before But it was with adina freedman the ceo for the naztec And she was really aloof with regard to Uh, the interview showed becky quick asking her a question about the rebalancing because she wasn't familiar with it And then asked about how that might impact things and she was very aloof with that But what she did say is that the rebalancing if you really want to try to figure out what they're doing You might want to try to investigate the details of the methodology behind the rebalancing for the naztec So I would do each of you can do a search here and just put naztec index methodology And what you should be able to do is pull up a pdf file. No, I I found that This morning I haven't had a chance to read through it But uh, and that might not be the document But I know that there is documents that are already printed and already laid out that talk about the annual Um methodology that's being used there the percentages one stock can't be more than x or what have you I don't know what those rules are john, but that's where I would start Uh looking and that was just simply based upon her comment And her comment was talking a little bit about that, but she was really aloof with regard to that So that's one element a great Thought process by one of our dinners mr. Bill inside the tigers den one of my wingmen always let me know when i'm on the wrong screens Right now. I should be on a screen that shows the qqe w So mr. Bill said, you know one way to resolve some of those issues just some of them right because this doesn't represent the naztec 100 but to try to get a feel for signals and I agree with this is to look at the equated version of the etf qqe w And that's what we do have up on our screen right now So as we take a look at qqe w might as well go ahead and do the analysis What you can see is that there's going to be a td9 count pattern that will confirm today That'll confirm as long as price is able to close above don't know whether it will or not But as long as price close above 109 64 you'll have a td9 count top All right if price doesn't rally and get back to the gap that it created you'll have a confirm roadsmintum indicator top You'll have a three river morning our evening star You'll have a gap to the downside And so the issue for qqe w folks from a daily standpoint is going to be that green oscillator and changeline Pulling back and testing that does not make it a top that just makes the retracement back to support A close below that says all of a sudden the qqe w has lost momentum the number to watch One 10 53 today that number will change by pennies as price moves up and down But use that as a pretty good guideline the weekly chart for qqe w will complete a td9 count top this week That says if price takes out this week's high the current high I don't know whether this will be the high come the end of day tomorrow enough But right now it's 1208 price takes that out when I mean takes it out I mean close above it the following week tells you about a strong upward momentum move for the weekly time frame Monthly chart is the weak link out here because it doesn't show any sign Of bearishness it shows that it wants to go tackle 1863. So how do we how do we make hay out of that? I think longer term that's in fact what the qqs are telling us but shorter term and shorter term could be between now and december Between now and and not december between now and october We could see a market in the nasaq that wants to move lower now. Why that time period? Well that time period because Let's just pull this over here because of the seasonal pattern or a seasonal pattern, right? There's several seasonal shoot whenever I do this. Okay. I got to put this on a different I don't know what what this is doing with my screen, but let me put this on a different screen Um, we'll go back and we'll take a look at it Give me a moment here shift screens screens. There we go. So here. This is a the nasdaq 100 over a period of 37 years That's all the data that we have the red line the red vertical line is today It gives you a ton of information over 37 years tells you the worst days for the nasdaq 100 our mondays and fridays best day wednesday If we take a look at the um monthly chart worst month september all the other months not too shabby This tells us that over a 37 year period. We are now in the unfavorable seasonal cycle What's that mean? That just means we're in the unfavorable seasonal cycle and if price starts taking out highs out there or taking out Topping patterns. Well, then that tells us that the seasonal cycle hasn't kicked in. Maybe it's a different seasonal cycle Maybe it's only a 25 year seasonal cycle. Well, the 25 year seasonal cycle says we should still expect to anticipate a mark to move Lower into october. Well, maybe it's not a 25 year. Maybe it's the 15 year cycle that's out there If we take a look at a 15 year cycle says we don't really top until next week And then we move sideways, but basically we top we move sideways into august Then we take a nice with moved down into the october november time frame How about a 10 year cycle out here on a 10 year cycle says basically the same thing says we top out here Shortly, maybe the end of this week really next week We move kind of sideways and that could possibly be the case how we know if that's the case or not Well, now we go back to the nq charts out as long as i'm on this screen We take a look at the daily time frame for each of the equity future contracts So we do have rebalancing going on but what we do have That we can rely upon our task market profiles. So perhaps during this time period here where john I meant the uh Where john was talking about the rebalancing inside the nasdaq 100 And not being able to compare apples to apples because we have different constituents or different weightings with inside there What we can do is at least rely upon support and resistance levels and that's where the a task market profiles come in So we already took a look at the qq e w you already know for me This whole week We've been talking about potential top for the s and p and for the nasdaq just those two indices at this stage here But we'll go take a look at other ones So now what we've got is we've got a new market profile A new market profile is attempting to form attempting to perform because i'm using my advanced Doppler tool So what does that mean that means that uh right now? We know that the support zone for the nq is between 15 586 and 15 681 The price closes below that it signals to us or at least two consecutive closes below 15 586 That would signal to us. We likely have a change in trend now. We won't know this till tomorrow We won't know if 15 586 is really the support level or not this profile could go away It has already shifted There's also a new profile and the e s many the s many has resisted at 46 0 9 and its support zone is between 45 0 7 45 24 I know rebalancing going there, but still you would be using that to identify the bottom We have valid potential tops inside the e s and the nq you get various reversal candles today And both of them on a daily basis will generate rogeman dominicator tops The uh russell 2000 will go take a look at that. I believe that may also have a top You can see there's the a to b equal cd patterns That still need to be completed. Perhaps the russell has a target of 20 30 The dow has a target of dow equity future contract has a target of 35 6 33 So far the high 35 5 16 is that close enough? Probably not out there, but if we switch over to my other charts And i'm going to switch greens here momentarily we get to the white background charts Let's see what other patterns might be going on if anything for the dow and the russell We take a look at the russell 2000. We see wave number 6 s letter g Today is likely going to form bar 8 of a td 9 count pattern That says we could get a confirmed td 9 count top and the russell 2000 tomorrow To potentially join a rogeman dominicator top in the e s and the nq The dow needs a bearish reversal candle to basically sell the generating cell The gold report As a precious metal gold is still king It continues to hold the most effective safe haven and hedging properties across the global major trading hubs of the london otc market The us futures market and the shanghai gold exchange the gold report Tom o'brien publishes his weekly gold report every monday morning for subscribers Consisting of coverage of the xa u h ui g dx the dollar bonds the south african rand As well as 25 different mining equities with specific buy sell recommendations The gold report New subscribers get a 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to risk Subscribe to tom o'brien's gold report newsletter now at tfnn.com tfnn has just launched their new trading room the tiger's den hosted at discord tfnn has been educating traders for more than 20 years with live programming hosted by a variety of professional traders during market hours And now they are expanding their reach with the tiger's den available to all tigers and tigers for just one dollar for the year There's no catch or added costs when you join our community of traders in the tiger's den You can look over the shoulders of tom o'brien and the other tfnn hosts while they analyze charts during their live tiger tv programs And join an interactive trading community with hundreds of members exchanging ideas Interact with other tigers and tigers as they share trading ideas news analysis and discuss the market action all trading day Even at night and on the weekends the tigers den at discord is accessible on mobile or tablets as well So it's always at your reach to sign up today and become a part of this educational community of traders Just visit the front page of tfnn.com Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument You have to practice sure, but you also need excellent instruction from experts at tfnn You'll get advice and guidance from the authority in technical market analysis And it's not just dry tedious text either tfnn airs live financial content streamed live on tfnn.com and tfnn's youtube channel with tiger tv Live every market day from 8 30 a.m. To 4 p.m. Eastern for free Each host is an experienced trader and gives their take on the market while taking calls and questions live from around the world From the moment the market opens until the closing bell sounds tiger tv has eight different shows with expert hosts To help you make the right moves with your money.  That's tfnn.com and hit watch tiger tv Welcome back up folks. So I found this here during the break. I again having a chance to pull the back up This is the nasdaq index methodology nasdaq 100 index. This is coming from the nasdaq website out here It talks about rebalancing throughout this the calendar rebalancing and so forth So this might be a place just simply to start with regard to With regard to trying to figure out how that rebalancing might take effect out there Let's get on to some questions some additional questions that have come in This would come in from nicholas and nicholas asking where's the next level of support on the smh's turns out. Well I'll I'll I'll show you that visually in a moment here. We'll take a look at the smh is yesterday Price generated a roadsman to indicator top was a bearish reversal candle bearish engulfing candle that confirmed that roadsman to indicator top And uh, nicholas is exactly right. We need to understand where support is that out here on a weekly base You can see you're going to get a td9 town top completion this week If we did get a bearish reversal candle that would confirm a roadsman to indicator top as well And on a monthly basis prices running into the swing point from january 2022 that did 160 million 160 million shares were done there this month. We're in the 20th 76 million this is pushing into a swing point with light bulbs the smh's are signaling to and I That they may have topped out here But if they're going to top they've got to bust through support And the question was where is that next level of support? And the reason I'm going to switch charts here is because there's a new profile that is formed or has formed this one is formed support out here 15397 below today 15391 So to answer your specific question, nicholas, where's the next level of support for the smh's it's 15397 You were correct earlier when you sent the email to me You thought that the first level of support would be 155 94 and then the second level would be 152 46 And he was just simply looking at profile levels in 150 14. You are absolutely correct on that It's just that now What you can see and you're referring to those old profiles that are in there Now we've got new information for us and that's the new profile So the answer to your question was revealed by those new profiles That even I didn't have until we pulled up this chart here and that's at 15397 I would say if the smh is closed below that then the next price target becomes 149 and change That's the weekly oscillator and change line 140 oh four is the top of the weekly I'm sorry top of the monthly profile out there. So that's what I think that we're looking at watch 15397 Nicholas, thanks much for the question about the smh's and support because that's going to be very helpful To helping us identify what the market's intent is The next question coming in from Leonardo this was sent in a couple days ago. I meant to get to yesterday my apology But it was with regard to the cues Leonardo had been in the cues He sold that out and a specific question is do I see the tqqq pulling back to the $25 area? Well, I can see it. But boy before that happens There's a lot of support levels that have to fail So why don't we do this Nicholas for your purpose? I'll take a look at the tqqq But we're really going to go take a look at the end cues out there and take a look at What is it that we need to be watching for today? But in in in the tqq instance out here that is confirming a roadsman to indicator top at this date because of its gap to the downside Its next level of support is 4094 and that is well, let me just make sure that there is no new profile out here Let me just put this on my other screen. I should be on the white ones. Am I on the white one? And I'm not I'm on the black background screen. So let me switch over to those but here So there is a new profile. Okay, great. So on the tqqq The new profile bullish and structure is between the range of 43 22 and 44 bucks So that is your support level on the tqqqs. Could this be a buyer? It could It could I'm not telling you to buy it though But your support zone is 43 22 to 44 bucks even steven inside the tqqq I'll switch now over to those white background charts here in a moment You'll be able to see the roadsman to indicator top and we're also going to go take a look at the nq charts So here you can see the gap to the downside and that there was a roadsman to indicator signal that had been triggered Now let's go take a look at the nq. Let's take a look at the uh Let's take a look at daily and the intraday charts out here You can see on the daily type frame you could generate a evening star pattern three river evening star That would confirm a roadsman to indicator top. So what's that mean? That means a level of support here inside the nq remember There's a new level of support right there. We're looking at a new profile level So only a close doesn't show on this chart because i'm using my advanced doppler two on the black background charts 15 586 that's the number right now to write on your pad of paper tomorrow Morning, we'll know if that number is a solid number or if it has shifted Let's assume it's solid and price closed below that then the next price target area is 15 344. That's on a five hour chart Five hour chart has a roadsman to indicator top prices below profiles. That is the target zone The four hour chart has a roadsman to indicator top price below profiles 15 479 is its target The 120 minute chart negated a td9 count bottom His price target is 15 676 you close below that that suggests lower price lower price 15 546 The 60 minute time break chart has made its way to or almost to It's one to one a to b equal cd pattern If we get a bullish reversal candle the next 24 minutes That would be a 12 noon on this hourly chart You would have a garly by pattern and that would then suggest a counter trend rally up to about the 15 8 43 level Where i'm going with that is the red oscillator and change line on a 30 minute basis I've got nothing although if there was an a to b equal cd on the 60 minute There certainly was on the 30 minute. So the 30 minute has a confirmed by the d-point pattern That says we should expect this rally to move up to 15 785 if i'm not mistaken We saw the 30 minute profile was in a bullish moe and at least at the time. Let's see if it still is Is this it? Well, that's not it. I probably Get rid of it. Did I get rid of it to not hog resources? I did so I can't go back I mean I can but i'm not going to at this stage here and going to waste resources But 15 785 is likely where price is headed to and then if the price can get above that You've got a further rally and that gets at 15 8 43 area So leonardo do I see getting back to 25? Those are the t q q q's There's so much other work that has to be done before that takes place Let's just take things one step at a time Alton wrote in and he want to take a look at intel out there So let's go take a look at the charts for intel intc is a ticker symbol and let's also Read alton's question And the question goes like this If time permits, can you have a take a look can you take a look at intel? We are on counts I'm considering adding some to get exposure to semiconductor Next how do you see it and where are the battles ahead so the battles ahead so prices trading below support The battles ahead are 34 19 34 54 and 35 18 and 35 18 is the big battle The big battle i'm looking at the daily time frame Alton and the reason why that's the big battle is price has been below the bottom of Bull structure profile for more than two consecutive sessions been for really a couple of weeks out there on a counter trend move That is the key resistance level 35 18 a close on a daily base above that level Says it wasn't a counter trend move and price moves up to 37 11 Is now a time to buy when you're below support on a daily time frame? I'd have to say the answer is no you are above support on a weekly time frame And support on a weekly time frame is out at 3301 3301 is the top of its weekly profile Where's this next battle? It's next battle. It would really have two of them One battle is a swing point it's trading into so the top of that at 37 level would be a battle and in 40 42 Steve Rhodes with tfnn we'll be right back.

You know, where's a price level to uh begin a position inside of intel We know that intel did form that td9 count top on a daily time frame We looked at that it's all it's generated a sell the d-point on a weekly time frame out there And here we could see intel has entered its unfavorable seasonal cycle as well That began a few days ago right around july the 16th that unfavorable seasonal cycle runs into october 27th out there So I'd just be careful here alton You know, you asked me to give you a price if I was going to give you a price out here We go back to these white background charts I'd have to say I'd be looking maybe at the breakout level of 30 68 But I really want to understand what's taking place at the hammer candle from june july 6 Is price breaking that with more than 41 million shares? If it does then you've got an a to b equal cd to the downside We don't have that pattern right now, but we're certainly not at a level of support. We're below support We're going into an unfavorable seasonal cycle here. So I would be cautious with regard to intel So I hope that helps y'all and alton. Thanks much for taking the time to write in Lee b wrote in and he wants to take like a spidey spd e s p s d p i So, well, let's take a look at this. Let's see what this is s d p i It is the superior drilling products out there perfect. So Lee's question is Currently long and would like your opinion on a short to intermediate term cell point Okay, so short to intermediate term cell point when we take a look at these stock charts out here for s d p i That's for superior drilling products. I could see why they're superior looks pretty good to me on a daily time frame You're trading above the top of its profile. Uh, it has a roadsman to indicator signal triggered Um until it gets a bearish reversal candle This thing wants to continue to move higher. You're long. So congrats there And if you did get a bearish reversal can on a daily time frame that would then be your short term signal That price is getting ready to pull back pull back where well First we get to get that daily But the areas we'd be looking at would be the oscillator and change line of the profile levels Currently 145 of 141. That's not what we're saying If I look at a weekly chart, you can see a nice a to b equal cd pattern is underway That needs a bearish reversal candle to confirm atop the b point out here on a weekly basis did volume of Like to tell you what it did volume of 647 thousand shares when it was passed When it was closed above it had done 403 363 1 million shares So we're going to say it's got that confirmed a to b equal cd at the upside again You need a weekly bearish reversal candle to confirm atop there And the monthly chart price is above profile above the center of its bullish structured profile And lee you've listened to the show long enough You know what i'm going to say next when you close above the center of a bullish structured profile You typically go to the top of that profile. That says over time Superior drilling products is likely to go tag 238 Do I don't see any sign of any kind of a topping pattern here for sdpi? And you're above resistance areas the only level of resistance that is left for me to take a look at is at the 238 area On a consecutive days up and down out here. You are in looks like day number four to the upside We've seen as many as six out here recently So we should see some type of pullback that begins. I'd say by monday or tuesday of next week out there So lb. Thanks so much for writing in I guess lastly. I just see if this does have a seasonal pattern It's certainly it does. I don't know whether we have the seasonal data sdpi That's really what I was trying to say. I just didn't do a good job of it, but it does have it So let's take a look how much do we have how many years we have nine full years And uh, this is kind of in the sun favorable seasonal cycle that typically lasts through about the august time frame But when we took a look at that stock chart, it doesn't give rats patootie about that seasonal pattern because that's not the pattern that's in right now So we'll just ignore superior drilling products with regard to its seasonal Patterns out there because it just doesn't like those All right next question coming in from bobbin's bocan inside the tiger's den bobb wants to take a look at petra Ptr a is the ticker symbol actually Let's actually find out what the name of that is that is pro terra and not too far off So let's take a good pro terra. Let's get the stock charts up on our screen That would make things much easier and that's not the set of stock charts We want let's try to find the correct set of stock charts tb traded out of buck 73 And it's in bar number nine bar number nine bobb You know what that says that says we should see a short term top form between today And tomorrow and that's short term top should take us back to support Support on ptr a is all the way back to 139. That's the top of its profile The ultimate level of support would be a buck 32 was a bare structured profile You closed by yesterday the day before that tells about a strong moment to move to the upside But we have a topping pattern that is also going to form today complete tomorrow Unless that gets taken out So whatever the highest high between today and tomorrow is if that gets closed above on monday Tuesday of next week tells about a strong momentum move and that would then tell us bob about a move to 243 But it looks like that moved to 243 is going to be put on hold After tomorrow's session and we get a pullback out there And maybe then you would be taking a look at adding to a position or beginning a new position inside of ptr a The monthly chart doesn't provide me with a ton of information at this date here What it does look like to me is that that this And i'm not even going to go there and we're not going to go there stevy So we've got enough information on the daily and the weekly out here It looks like you're getting ready to form a short term top should pull back to test support And then if support holds you should see a move up to 243 That's the top of its weekly profile. So I hope that helps you out Thanks much for taking the time to write in i've got another question here from tom g tom nice to uh hear from you It's been a while et he ethereum is what tom is writing it about and the question goes like this You just exited et he yesterday you're looking to see what do you think about a re-entry point? Hope all as well it is been away from the markets for a bit Well, I hope you're doing well and thanks much for coming back to the markets and more importantly for uh, uh, sending me a Email question. So with regard to ethereum out here if it's pulling back The first level of support for ethereum that I see is 1115 And 1115 is that green oscillator and changeline? So that's your first level of support below that would be the market profiles and the current daily market profiles run from 982 at the bottom 1013 at the center and 1044 at the top if I open up this stock chart on a daily time frame what I don't see When I don't see is a topping pattern doesn't mean you shouldn't have exited the position This means I don't see it on the daily time frame out here So no guarantee that we get that pullback when I look at the weekly time frame chart for ethereum What it is doing is it's trading above prior swing points You already know that looks like you want to target the 1354 level that's its next td nine count breakdown area It did form a nice roads meant to man td nine count and wave seven bottom That was back in january of this year out here. So it looks like this once said to 1354 your specific question was Looking to see what you think for a re entry point and the monthly is Suggest that it wants to trade higher 1901 being the price target because price is above that oscillator and changeline So you want a good entry point? Who wouldn't like a good entry point and I'd love to give you a good entry point Can I find a good entry point? Steve roge with tfn and we'll be right back. We'll take a good theory and we're looking at the 30 minute chart right now That's got a td nine count pattern So let's take a look at that.

We're looking at ethereum for tom g. He's looking for an entry point He was long ethereum now I don't have a topping pattern on the daily weekly or the monthly time frames out there So it makes it a bit trickier What I'd be looking for some type of pattern on the short term time frame such as I mentioned There was a td9 cowl bottom that had formed out here. This took place at 3 30 yesterday afternoon We've seen a rally not until that bottom gets taken out That low by the way is a 10 99 if that were to get taken out and it could because price is below profiles right now If that gets taken out you would then generate an a to b equal cd to the downside With a price target of around 10 30 or so 10 30 to 11 10 11 out there now the reason I was looking at the 10 number is because At 10 44. It's the top of the daily profile. So the first level of support tom is going to be 11 15 Well under 30 minute basis the level of support was a td9 cowl bottom pattern that had that uh, That had generated here But beyond that on a daily time frame it's 11 15 and below that 10 44 So at this stage here, I would I'd still sit on my hands and see how that 30 minute chart plays out there We've had two consecutive rallies two consecutive day rallies. So not really a reason maybe we're going to get a two to three bar Pullback that would be pretty normal It looks like three bars two to three bars is the normal time frame for most instruments as well So I'd I'd wait for tomorrow perhaps on a monday to relook at that. So I hope that helps you out tom Thanks much for taking the time to write in. What's the lesson? What can I leave you with? What can I leave you with and I don't know what the answer is there? Let me look at these 120 minute time frame charts make sure i'm on the same page so The 120 minute charts are the ones that are most interesting to me at least for the esenq and the russell to get rid of some noise out here In the case of the es mini prices below support So it could be signaling to you and I wants to get down to 45 44 We're below support. We broke a pattern on the 120 minute. It was a td9 count bottom your below support Which is profile so 15 676 is its target you get below that on 120 minute time frame And I can tell you I don't believe we have broken through since the bottom A 120 minute time frame td9 count to breakout level out there. So watch that 15 676 25 level For the enq lucho important folks stay tuned for great program and I'll be back with you on fantastic friday Please have a terrific thursday Take care
