Inflation in the UK hits high at 11..1% as US inflation goes down
https://i.postimg.cc/zGsyFyQT/uk-inflation.jpg

The floundering British economy has once again been subject to a set of metrics that have marked out the severity of the current situation, this time it is yet again the announcement of an increase in inflation.

Inflation in the United Kingdom reached 11.1% in October 2022, which is higher than had originally been predicted, marking out the very bleak nature of the British economic situation especially considering that yesterday, the United States government issued official figures showing that its level of inflation had reduced significantly to 7.7%.

As can perhaps be expected, low-income households suffered the biggest jump in the cost of living, while high income households were less hit during that period, because low-income households spend more of their money on energy and food where costs have soared.

Surprisingly, however, despite the very high inflation figures in the United Kingdom, the British Pound actually rose against the US Dollar to 1.19 last night and has thus far sustained that level of value, but it fell against the Euro during the early hours of the trading day this morning.

It is looking likely that the Bank of England will not pause its program of increasing interest rates given the 11.1% inflation figure for October, giving more weight to the speculation that interest rates may rise to as much as 5% by January 2023, which would put pressure on people paying mortgages and other loans.

The housing market outside London has already slowed down tremendously compared to just two months ago after 10 banks across the United Kingdom withdrew mortgage products from the market.

Many analysts are looking back to the dark days of the early 1980s when the British economy was struggling after James Callaghan's 1979 'Winter of Discontent' in which there was no public money to pay for essential services and piles of household refuse were meters high in the streets, and companies implemented a 3-day working week due to inability to afford to pay wages.

Today, the set of circumstances that has led to this level of inflation are completely different to those of the late 1970s, hence the uncertainty of what lies ahead and volatility in the currency markets.

Ethereum was unable to sustain its bullish momentum and after touching a high of 1349 on 10th Nov, the prices started to decline against the US dollar touching a low of 1171 on 14th Nov.

After this decline, we can see some upwards correction in the levels of Ethereum above the $1200 handle.

We have seen a bearish opening of the markets this week.

We can clearly see a bearish engulfing pattern below the $1349 handle which is a bearish pattern and signifies the end of a bullish phase and the start of a bearish phase in the markets.

ETH is now trading just below its pivot levels of 1204 and moving into a mildly bearish channel. The price of ETHUSD is now testing its classic support level of 1188 and Fibonacci resistance level of 1198 after which the path towards 1100 will get cleared.

The relative strength index is at 40 indicating a WEAK demand for Ether and the continuation of the selling pressure in the markets.

The prices are ranging near the horizontal resistance in the weekly time frame, indicating a bearish trend.

Both the STOCHRSI and Williams percent range are indicating oversold levels.

All of the technical indicators are giving a STRONG SELL market signal.

Most of the moving averages are giving a STRONG SELL signal and we are now looking at the levels of $1150 to $1100 in the short-term range.

ETH is now trading below both the 100 & 200 hourly simple and exponential moving averages.


[*] Ether: bearish reversal seen below the $1349 mark
[*] Short-term range appears to be mildly bearish
[*] ETH continues to remain below the $1300 level

ETH continues to remain under pressure this month and fresh downsides are expected below the $1100 handle.

ETHUSD touched an intraday high of 1227 and an intraday low of 1193 in the Asian trading session today.

We can see a bullish price crossover pattern with moving averages MA50 and MA100 in the 1-hour time frame.

We can also see the formation of a black evening star pattern in the 15-minute time frame.

The daily RSI is printing at 38 indicating a very weak demand for Ether in the long-term range.

The key support level to watch is $1186 which is the last resistance level, and $1195 which is a 14-3 day raw stochastic at 20%

ETH has decreased by 3.15% with a price change of 38.81$ in the past 24hrs and has a trading volume of 11.524 billion USD.

We can see an increase of 1.46% in the total trading volume in the last 24 hrs which appears to be normal.

The Week Ahead

ETH price continues to remain in a bearish zone against the US dollar and bitcoin. ETHUSD is expected to move lower towards the $1100 and $11150 levels this week.

We can see the formation of a major bearish trend line in place from $1349 towards $1119 levels.

The immediate short-term outlook for Ether has turned mildly bearish, the medium-term outlook has turned neutral, and the long-term outlook for Ether is neutral in present market conditions.

The prices of ETHUSD will need to remain above the important support levels of $1094 which is the 3rd support pivot point.

The weekly outlook is projected at $1150 with a consolidation zone of $1100.

Pound's gains wiped off after tax-grab budget leads toward retail sales outlook
https://i.postimg.cc/wMCpcdsh/gbp.jpg

The monumental and sustained decline in value that blighted the British Pound over recent months in which it almost went into freefall with no sign of an end suddenly began to show signs of improvement a couple of weeks ago when Liz Truss, the British Prime Minister to hold the shortest tenure in office in British history - just 44 days - resigned.

Her resignation was considered a positive step by the markets, as along with her leaving her office, an equally short-lived stint in office for Chancellor of the Exchequer (Finance Minister) Kwasi Kwarteng also came to an end.

During Ms Truss' 44 day term as Prime Minster, she ramped up the rhetoric against Russia, presided over a disastrous mini-budget which was canceled the moment she left office, and created a sense of nervousness in the markets.

The pound began to recover after her tenure as Prime Minister ended, and although still very much in the doldrums and having not managed to reach 1.18 against the US Dollar which by contrast has been a very strong currency over recent months, the economic woes in the United Kingdom have been too grave to ignore.

Last week, new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak along with new Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt unveiled their new budget, which was laden with significant socialist-style tax increases, right at a time when the economy is in limp-home mode following the hundreds of billions which flowed out of the coffers during 2020 and 2021 under Mr Sunak's watch as Chancellor.

The pound crashed in value once again yesterday during the hours of the London trading session, and although it is not down to the low levels that it reached at the end of Ms Truss' tenure at Number 10 Downing Street, it did head back to the low 1.18 range.

It appears that the confidence-busting high-tax budget which now causes the average British household to be even more cash-strapped during what is being dubbed a 'cost of living crisis', and the potential that some high net worth individuals or companies with international offices may move their wealth to more tax-friendly jurisdictions, has caused investors and traders to take a conservative view once again.

This drop came in at exactly the time when earnings reports from many publicly-listed retail giants are about to be released, and whilst we do not know what those figures may be as yet, it is estimated by many analysts that they could be a bit lower than usual at this time of year due to people simply not having as much disposable income available as they once did, and the government's imminent interest rate rises which are estimated to reach around 5% by January 2023 as inflation soared over the 11% mark in Britain by Friday last week.

By contrast, the United States, whilst still blighted by high inflation over the past year, is not fairing so badly at all. At the end of last week, inflation in the United States actually decreased to 7.7%, and whilst that may still sound a lot compared to the levels that it stood at by the end of last decade, it is far lower than the 10% it reached by the summer of this year.

By no means is the United States economy out of the woods yet, but it is certainly showing signs of returning to some degree of fortitude.

Britain, by contrast, battles on with serious challenges ahead.
