TheoTrade Chief Market Technician, Professor Jeff Bierman, CMT joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the impact of the Fed’s 2023 rate hike outlook on markets – WATCH FULL SEGMENT HERE Or, enjoy the full transcript below: Seana Smith: Jeff Bierman, he’s TheoTrade Chief Market Technician. Jeff, it’s great to have you here. I know you are focused on the technical, so taking a look at the technicals and where we stand today, what is that signaling to you? Professor Jeff Bierman, CMT: Well, you got to take a few things into account. There’s a lot of cross currents, Seana, and what I mean by “cross currents” is there’s a lot of mixed feelings and emotions in terms of interest rates, upward pressure on wages, how far do we have to bring inflation down. Even though oil’s come down, it doesn’t necessarily mean that prices have come down because oil is

“This has actually been the best year I’ve had since the financial crisis of 2008,” TheoTrade Chief Market Strategist Don Kaufman says in this Investor’s Business News story titled “Investing 2022: Painful or Profitable.” Don tells reporter Kathleen Doler that 2022 market conditions were no surprise. An excerpt from the story: “”You could see this one coming from a mile away.” The Fed started signaling that it would raise interest rates long before it did it. And that meant the bear would chase away the bull.” “Some investors saw 2022 as a good time to further study trading, particularly the use of options. Besides short selling, Kaufman also traded options in 2022. He says volatility is “an options trader’s best friend.”” See the full IBD story: “Investing 2022: Painful or Profitable.” Want to know more about an options trader’s best friend and where the market is headed in 2023?

“People need to temper their expectations. They’re way too bullish here,” said Professor Jeff Bierman, TheoTrade’s chief market technician, in this profile in Markets Insider. See Jeff Bierman’s TheoTrade Master “Class. Excerpt from the Markets Insider story: Since October 12, the S & P 500 is up almost 11% mostly on news of moderating inflation and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledging that the central bank will have to downsize its rate hikes. Those things certainly sound bullish, but there are two problems as far as Bierman is concerned. One problem is that the market already knew the Fed likely wouldn’t carry on with its 75-basis-point hikes, and some investors seem to be mistaking this admission from the central bank as a pivot. Instead, the Fed is likely to cut down to 50 or 25-basis-point hikes and will probably keep rates high for an extended period. The Fed has been tightening policy this year at the

TheoTrade co-founder Don Kaufman appeared on “All About Bitcoin” yesterday for the 12th time this year. CoinDesk TV calls on Don for expert insight into regulation, trading activity, and prospects for crypto. Don appeared on yesterday’s show with Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger, to discuss regulation in light of BlockFi and FTX bankruptcies and the biggest weekly outflows in crypto funds in three months. “The regulators are coming,” said Don, and that’s good news for institutional and retail traders who need to see a stable, regulated crypto market before having the confidence to jump in. “I’m a trader,” said Don. “You can’t have market maker on the opposing side of your trades and an exchange that also has custody of your assets.” He added: “Those involved in DeFi will play regulatory arbitrage possibly for years to come. Something like FINA for crypto needs to be established. The

The U.S. may promote its own Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) after the FTX collapse resulted in investors losing billions. With CBDC you would use your app instead of the physical currency we now use. This is a new idea that is being considered globally. Singapore and India are looking into launching their own CBDC’s.  Quicker transactions, lower cost, and helping to stop money laundering are some of the benefits of CBDC. Others are worried about the impacts of government intervention and loss of privacy. “It’s inevitable,” says TheoTrade co-founder Don Kaufman says of CBDC in this NDTV Business TV interview. “It’s going to happen. On the institutional side it carries a lot of weight. It would be very effective to have an interbank system that’s not tying up capital for days at a time.” See the full segment here.

SEANA SMITH: Jeff, the market’s taking a bit of a breather today coming off of a couple of days of pretty solid gains, a lot of that driven by the CPI and PPI reports that we’ve gotten over the

  TheoTrade co-founder Don Kaufman shares his analysis and outlook for BTC as the cryptocurrency’s price has fallen nearly 70% in the last 12 months.  Bitcoin must drop further, says Don, before it becomes an attractive investment. The lack of volatility in Bitcoin, and its decoupling from indexes such as NASDAQ and the S & P, have seen it range bound in recent months.  There’s a sense of complacency among potential Bitcoin investors and traders that is persistent. We need to “feel the fear,” in Bitcoin, and it needs to drop into the low teens before it can climb back up again, says Don. Watch the interview HERE

“Fourth-quarter seasonality favors bulls following a weak third quarter.  Not to mention most stocks are priced for no growth,” TheoTrade Chief Market Strategist Jeff Bierman said in the MarketWatch column that offers “critical information for the U.S. trading day.” “The valuations on half the chip stocks are trading below a multiple of seven. I’ve never seen that ever,” said Bierman. “That means when the semiconductor sector comes back, the multiple expansion is gonna be like a volcanic eruption to the upside,” he said of the sector known for its boom/bust cycles. Bierman owns Intel (INTC), which hit a five-year low on Friday. Eventually, the company that has invested $20 billion in a new U.S. plant will come roaring back alongside rivals like Advanced Micro (AMD). “People will look back on this and go ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe Intel was at five times earnings,’ which is insanity for this stock.” See the full MarketWatch story: He

“The Fed is trying to take down inflation, but the side effect is an incredibly strong dollar, which is importing our inflation around the word,” said TheoTrade chief market strategist Don Kaufman in this CoinDesk TV interview. Don appeared on the “All About Bitcoin” show to discuss inflation, the turmoil at Credit Suisse, and the prospects for Bitcoin in the coming months. Don reiterated that he expects more volatility ahead for Bitcoin, taking it down to around 13,000 by the end of the year. Read the full article HERE
