Shadowing Practice: Did the Ai Bubble just Pop? - Learn English Speaking with Video

On Friday, we saw precious metals,

stocks, cryptos, and several other big markets come tumbling down off of,

well, basically right around the jobs report,

which was sort of an interesting dynamic because you had very solid jobs,

which does make sense as to why this sent precious metals lower.

We have been bullish on the dollar on the channel,

so this was nice to see,

but was maybe a little bit more confusing for a lot of traders was the very sharp drop

that we saw in the NASDAQ.

I believe this is the largest one-day drop that we have had in the stock market in a couple years now.

This was no short of impressive in terms of how much the bears took this thing down.

talking about a 5.2% close lower on the Qs with the NASDAQ.

Let's just take a look here just to see if there was any post-market action.

And you can see we kind of did see a little bit follow through in the post-market action,

completely tanking lower in the markets here in the last few trading days.

So what's going on?

Is this a buyable tip?

Is this the spot we need to start stepping in and buying the dip already on stocks?

Or is this thing due for a much larger corrective pullback?

Now, this does feel nice on my side,

because I've been on the channel for a while talking about how,

you know, I think that we are due for some sort of healthy correction or pullback in stocks.

And I've not been trading them.

So I don't have a short position on or a long position on.

I'm just, you know, kind of been waiting for pullback.

So it's nice to see one actually take place.

And this just goes to show,

you know, in this little pullback here,

we essentially erased going as far back as,

you know, 28 days ago.

So you can see how quickly when stocks sell off and for example,

if we were to see this thing follow through,

you can see how very quickly indices can give back gains.

They tend to crawl higher and then drop very,

very quickly when they are ready.

Anyways, is this a viable dip?

We'll talk about that here in today's video.

We'll also talk about the dollar,

which is screaming higher and is turning into a decent little position here for me.

I am short silver.

Let me show you my position real quick.

Okay, so here is the silver position.

I am sitting on a decent little gain here.

Well, I shouldn't say little.

It's a good gain.

We got about a $14,000 runner here on silver.

Now, granted, if you've been keeping up with the channel,

then you know I had about a $5,000 loss on gold attempting to short that previously.

So this is all things considered,

and a very nice gain that I had to,

you know, try once before in order to achieve this sort of idea.

But let's talk a little bit about where we are with precious metals,

where we are with stocks,

and I'll try and keep it brief

because I'm going to have a Sunday video where I go even more in detail tomorrow.

By the way, as we get started,

remember this is not financial advice.

If you could subscribe, hit that thumbs up button, all that good stuff.

I greatly appreciate it.

And we'll get right into it.

Okay, so silver, right?

Silver and gold.

I mean, really, these things did the same thing on Friday,

they both took out kilos.

And I really liked the switch over to silver instead,

because what you can see here is that obviously,

silver is the higher volatility instrument,

it moves more on a percentage basis than gold does.

So you can see silver was down 8.3% on Friday.

That is a absolute fallout.

And I believe, let me make sure I'm not wrong about this.

Yeah, we are back down to the lows.

We're back down approximately to the lows that we have seen of 2026.

Precious metals have been struggling in 2026.

And let me outline why,

as we have been doing the last few weeks,

why we have this bullish dollar bearish metals idea.

And I should extend that to bonds as well.

So if I go over to edgefinder here,

I'm going to move this off the screen and switch over to our asset scorecard really quick.

I'm going to seek out specifically the dollar,

which is kind of at the center of all of this.

And first of all, as if we needed more reason to be positive on the dollar recently,

institutions have been adding dollar long exposure,

a 3% shift positively week over week,

according to our latest commitment Traders data tools tracking this stuff shows,

again, buyers in the dollar world amongst institutions.

Kind of interesting.

Fundamental score is getting a plus seven, guys.

This is a screaming, screaming confluence of economic indicators.

Economic growth data coming in very bullish.

We had PMIs come in better than expected.

Consumer confidence better than expected.

Meanwhile, inflation, CPI, PPI are hot.

The two-year yield is on the rise,

and the jobs report number was blockbuster.

Not this time, not the last time,

but all three of the previous times,

we had strong jobs numbers to sort of buck the trend.

100

Now, I've heard some people saying,

101

well, is this the World Cup hiring?

102

Maybe, but the point is sort of to the side for a second.

103

We have hiring going on that the market,

104

considering that World Cup was in the thought process of these very intelligent groups that put together these forecasts.

105

It's just very difficult.

106

This is a very challenging problem to try and predict jobs numbers at a macro,

107

you know, huge scale like this.

108

Anyways, the numbers beat expectation consensus at 85 and came in at 172.

109

So then you have ADP numbers came in better.

110

Jolt's job openings were very solid.

111

So you have this situation,

112

this perfect storm where we have the dollar actually breaking higher on a day in which oil's moving lower.

113

Now, why is that a very important point that I do not want to brush over?

114

Oil was down on Friday.

115

Dollar was up.

116

What this is telling you is that while,

117

yes, there has been geopolitics that have contributed to the dollar's,

118

you know, kind of safe haven demand.

119

this rally is also heavily in isolation due to the macro

120

data coming in really solid jobs numbers solid PMI solid as

121

we just went through the list our software here what it

122

does is it essentially looks at all this data summarizes it builds a scorecard

123

and boom dollar has been bullish on edgefinder since mid-may

124

so tracking the macro has been a massive win

125

if you've been watching the dollar

126

if you've been keyed in on what's going on with the data

127

and not ignoring it a lot traders just think fundamentals are too hard,

128

so they just ignore them.

129

But if you lean in and acknowledge what they're telling you,

130

they can give you some huge clues about where market trends may be going next.

131

So dollar looks really strong.

132

And so again, I took that as an opportunity.

133

I have been taking stabs long on the dollar.

134

So I have a UUP long position.

135

Let me see if I can just show you switch over on this other screen

136

so that I could just switch my P&L here to UUP.

137

So this is my UUP position.

138

This is also absolutely rocketing higher.

139

UUP is just a ETF that tracks the dollar.

140

So it's DXY kind of ETF variation.

141

Anyways, DXY flying higher.

142

I think it has room to come up to where we've talked about.

143

Well, actually, we did hit our target in terms of the 100 mark we've been talking about on the channel.

144

But I do think we have room to potentially,

145

if data continues to to come in the way it has

146

been to grind on up to the top end of this one year range, the 102 mark.

147

So that's kind of my next spot where I think price could go for the dollar.

148

I am also short the British pound against the US dollar.

149

And so far we are looking good.

150

We're looking really good here.

151

Shorted this one, it sat a while,

152

so it didn't really go anywhere,

153

but then finally moved lower here ultimately,

154

which which has been nice

155

and whenever i take a position i share it inside of our discord server for our vip members

156

so i went short silver like i mentioned i've been giving

157

updates as to where i am with the trade what i'm

158

doing it with it uh why i took the position right

159

we broke down on the day the trade was taken why

160

this trade was entered we also of course have my forex trades here so i'm still in my pound dollar short position.

161

This one has been going really well.

162

And then of course, stocks,

163

options, index, and my journal where I'm sharing updates on what's going on.

164

I just wanted to mention this because currently we are running a really big discount.

165

You can currently get 40% off any of our memberships using the link in the description down below to sign up.

166

What you can see on the screen right now,

167

168

169

it will take 40% off your membership.

170

172

174

175

176

177

If that is something that you're interested in,

178

then take advantage of the discount code while it is available.

179

That will be for a limited time.

180

um anyways so dollar strength crypto absolutely getting nailed on uh on friday

181

and really the whole week before that and really the whole year

182

so far crypto has been in a pain trade to say

183

the very least uh even you know despite the nasdaq finally

184

kind of showing some signs of pullback uh we have to

185

remember this is still just a you know a 6.5 percent pullback following a 35 rally.

186

I also want to just issue a bit of caution here because for me personally,

187

when it comes to the NASDAQ,

188

the question is, do I want to buy here?

189

Well, I'm curious.

190

I'm watching it.

191

Institutions did some selling on the NAS.

192

Economic data has been actually improving in some ways,

193

like growth has been good.

194

Jobs market data has been good.

195

Inflation data is just kind of holding us back here.

196

So am I super bullish stock market?

197

No. But as we pull back,

198

I start to get interested again.

199

If we take a look at SPX,

200

SPX saw net selling by institutions ahead of this sell-off that we saw on Friday,

201

which is worth mentioning, right?

202

We saw crowd sentiment, however,

203

get really bearish on Friday.

204

Let me see if I can pull that up here.

205

Put call ratio.

206

Just take a little bit of a detour.

207

Yeah, look at this, right?

208

So June 5th, that's going to be Friday's trading action, put volume exploded.

209

Crowd sentiment went very bearish.

210

And I'm going to say this,

211

I don't know what's going to happen on Monday,

212

but I've seen this story play out so many times where Friday crashes lower and then Monday you get the pop.

213

And it doesn't necessarily mean we regain all the way back up and we just keep flying higher.

214

But a lot of times you get sort of that weekend sell-off effects,

215

like people do not want to hold it into the weekend.

216

And then on Monday, they sort of buy back their positions.

217

So we'll see if that takes place.

218

Again, that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to fly through the highs.

219

I do think you have challenges with the uncertainty in the Middle East,

220

with the SpaceX IPO stuff.

221

That was kind of a little bit of drama.

222

I've been talking about that on the channel.

223

I'm not going to go into too much detail on that.

224

But they postponed their ability to get into the S&P 500,

225

causing a little bit of jitters around the very hype stories that are coming to the market right now.

226

SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, all these big names coming public,

227

if they kind of postpone that,

228

it sets out some challenges.

229

That being said, from a technical basis,

230

where do I see NASDAQ potentially going?

231

Well, you pretty much have this level here.

232

That's like the one everyone's probably looking at.

233

But then beyond that, you have the 38.2,

234

which doesn't really line up very well with anything.

235

The 50% level doesn't really line up very well with any major structure.

236

The next level that looks pretty obvious is the 61.8% retracement because it lines up with the prior all-time high.

237

And this would be a spot where personally,

238

I would definitely be looking to add something,

239

whether it be short-term long trades or adding positions to my portfolio in stocks that I like for the longer term.

240

That is a 16% pullback in the NASDAQ.

241

What would that mean for the S&P?

242

Same kind of markup here.

243

Let's get our fibs out.

244

And you can see that in this case,

245

it would be a 50% retracement back to the all-time high,

246

where I think you have a more solid case for a possible bounce.

247

What would that look like in terms of a percentage pullback?

248

Well, that's about an 8% to 9% pullback,

249

a very normal pullback in a bull market,

250

especially when you have such explosive volatility to the upside.

251

And then suddenly, you know,

252

that VIX comes back in.

253

The VIX was up 40% on Friday.

254

This is a no joke jump in the VIX.

255

The question is, do you get sort of this follow through?

256

Like here's the last time it happened,

257

you had the pop and then it completely kind of cratered back down.

258

Or is it even going to be a larger one?

259

I just don't know that you have the catalyst for that type of move.

260

So that kind of leans me into the case of if the VIX continues to pop higher,

261

I'll probably sell some premium in the options world,

262

meaning selling cash secured puts on stocks that I like.

263

If the stock market continues to fall and VIX stays elevated,

264

you start getting paid more premium for doing that and vice versa.

265

If we're looking at NASDAQ,

266

S&P, these levels here start to become very attractive.

267

But at these current levels,

268

I would

269

if I was getting long I don't quite have the signal

270

from edge finder for me to look at a possible long setup

271

but we're getting close we have like plus three plus four scores on edge finder for for S&P

272

and NASDAQ respectively if you do see

273

that score start to continue to improve then I may look

274

at some small stabs on the long side from short-term trading perspectives

275

but for me right now I am just going to kind

276

of let the dust settle I've got my hands busy with my shorts on silver.

277

And again, my longs on dollar.

278

So going to mostly stick to playing that.

279

So I will keep an eye on the put call ratio, though.

280

This does make me think you could see some kind of a bounce.

281

Guys, if you're interested in taking advantage of the VIP promo,

282

take advantage in the description down below.

283

And one other thing, there is a really cool current offer that we have with our sponsor, 8cap.

284

8cap basically makes it so and this is for non US traders.

285

And I'll leave a link to this full page,

286

you can actually just go to our website.

287

It is a1trading.com slash ACAP.

288

289

290

where if you create and pick a package here that your deposit criteria meets,

291

292

So to clarify, like for example,

293

if you deposit $10,000 into a trading account and start trading with ACAP there using specifically the links on this page.

294

That's the only way this offer qualifies because then that way they know that you came from our YouTube channel stuff.

295

297

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
