For a cheap investment with a guaranteed high yield.
The Royal Mint has released sets to commemorate Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. They will be minted only once and most will not go into circulating supply. There are standard coins, silver and gold. As the supply shrinks the demand for these coins will skyrocket. The 5 pound and 50p seem to be the most sought after. Buying the standard for a very reasonable price is a no brainer, if you want to outlay more then the silver and gold will fetch a better return. The website is easy and delivers to Australia. But be quick!

A recession is traditionally announced after two consecutive negative quarters.
On July 28th the USA reported two consecutive negative quarters.
A few days beforehand The White House tried to redefine the definition of a Recession🤫
Don't talk to me about job growth and other hopeful metrics when building contractors are folding across the globe and even Google, Amazon, and Tesla are laying off workers and local businesses can't even find workers to operate properly.
The more Governments delay in giving the public the truth and continue treating them like children who are going to the dentist, the more the people will get burned financially.
This is just plain lying and ass-covering at this stage.

Ethereum Merge Date: When Is The Ethereum Merge?
Do you go ALL IN or DCA?
Sadly even this very important milestone on the ETH path will be somewhat, a pump and dump as the Whales will use this to take profit. The good news is that after this event, the price will probably steadily rise over time as the leverage is washed out. Again I am thinking long term and safe. Watch the markets, protect your money and and take a breath, stay focused on the Whales direction while being at peace you are a prawn...for now.
The Ethereum merge date and transition to proof-of-stake is expected to take place on September 19, 2022.

Make no mistake Elon dropped the Bitcoin because he's a businessman who knows there will be a pump before the FED rate announcement which will dump the market, afterwards he can buy back in. This "pump" is just whales trying to get retailers in to get more profit. Dollar Cost Average, watch the Macro movements and don't listen to ANYONE who says " Dude we are out of the bear market, the Technical Analysis is solid" T.A is not accurate right now.

ALL credit to Brock Collins.
After 6 years in the crypto market and thousands of hours learning how to trade full time, this is by far the most important information I’ve found for anyone investing in crypto and for some reason I very rarely see it mentioned
The bitcoin halving
This is what the previous bitcoin market cycles have ALL been based around
This is an event that happens roughly every 4 years and essentially halves the rewards given to miners causing an inherent increase in demand as the cost of mining a bitcoin doubles.
Why this doesn’t get talked about more often is something I really don’t understand
The reason crypto doesn’t just go up forever is because markets are cyclical
The markets are cyclical because eventually, everyone who was going to buy, has
And then the most money to be made is to the downside
I don’t care how many times I hear Blackrock Vanguard Microsoft Google PayPal Visa Elon Musk China El Salvador John McAfee bulls*it
BTC(and every other market…)has always followed a pattern
1.Accumulation
(Slow sideways low volatility market for 3-6 months at the lows) this always starts about 12 months before the bull run
2.Mark up (bull market) usually starts about 6 months before the halving
3.Distribution (where the sellers start re entering the market, you can spot this through volume)
Usually about 1 year after the halving
4. Mark down phase (this is where we’re at now) - where retail traders keep anticipating the bottom and getting sh*t on over and over again until we get closer to the halving
Then back to accumulation
After a huge sentiment killing bear market, BTC will sit in a low volatility sideways accumulation zone at the lows as the big boys scoop as much BTC as they can for as little as possible.
(This gives you PLENTY of time to position)
It doesn’t make sense for them to just run the market straight up because then the big boys need to pay more for their BTC.
In order for them to keep BTC at them lows they need to kill retail sentiment beforehand so that retail doesn’t rush into the market and drive prices up before they’re ready to run BTC up.
The way they do this is by doing exactly what we’re seeing now
“Btc has never gone under previous cycles ATH, 200 weekly MA etc etc etc”
So buyers rush in at these levels just to get crushed again
Then they’ll do the same thing at 15k
And probably the same thing once again at 10k
This is to disenchant retail buyers, kill sentiment and elude to the fact that once again “crypto is dead”
After the market has been driven down so hard that the majority of investors lose interest (and money) then the big boys will start accumulating at the lowest prices possible
This will only happen once the majority of retail has stopped providing liquidity on the other side of the trade for the big boys to sell into
In other words, we need to get SO low that no one wants to touch BTC anymore
THEN, we get close to the halving and enter a mark up phase.
After the halving BTC will then cost more to mine and so it provides the perfect catalyst to start pushing up the market
The markup phase is when the market starts to run up hard, regaining retail traders attention and positive news articles etc
Anyway there’s a little bit more to understanding liquidity and institutional positioning but most of you don’t really care about any of that
HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOU MONEY?
Be real, you didn’t buy cumrocket and shiva because you’re “in it for the tech”
The way you make money out of this is very simple
Markets work in phases and these are actually very easily identifiable
there are 4 phases
Accumulation
Mark up
Distribution
Mark down
Accumulation generally has 3 sub phases
Accumulation
Expansion
Reaccumulation
If you’re worried about trying to catch a falling knife then you just need to wait for the first leg of expansion and enter in the reaccumulation zone
These accumulation zones are very easily identifiable because they’re low volatility, low volume, sideways ranges at the bottom of a massive move down
You’ll know when BTC is in an accumulation phase because 95% of this group will cease to be active or only pop their head in to tell you how much of an idiot you are
This shows you maximum pain is here and is the perfect time for the big boys to accumulate
Below is a chart i made at the start of this market cycle showing how you can identify the structure to see where we’re at
As you can see, we haven’t even started to enter an accumulation phase we’re still very much in the “bear market” mark down phase
You’re not missing anything
Relax and make sure you’ve got some capital left over for the supreme lows
And before anyone says ”no one can pick a bottom”
I did

Core C.P.I data (inflation) excludes food and energy usually so it is a lower figure than actual inflation. When the government releases the C.P.I figures it's best to add on a extra few % so you can get a better indication of where the interest rate has to go in the future.
P.S it's worse than we are being told and will continue to be so, DCA the big assets slowly and bank cash for the BIG dip.
