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

1
On Friday, we saw precious metals,
2
stocks, cryptos, and several other big markets come tumbling down off of,
3
well, basically right around the jobs report,
4
which was sort of an interesting dynamic because you had very solid jobs,
5
which does make sense as to why this sent precious metals lower.
6
We have been bullish on the dollar on the channel,
7
so this was nice to see,
8
but was maybe a little bit more confusing for a lot of traders was the very sharp drop
9
that we saw in the NASDAQ.
10
I believe this is the largest one-day drop that we have had in the stock market in a couple years now.
11
This was no short of impressive in terms of how much the bears took this thing down.
12
talking about a 5.2% close lower on the Qs with the NASDAQ.
13
Let's just take a look here just to see if there was any post-market action.
14
And you can see we kind of did see a little bit follow through in the post-market action,
15
completely tanking lower in the markets here in the last few trading days.
16
So what's going on?
17
Is this a buyable tip?
18
Is this the spot we need to start stepping in and buying the dip already on stocks?
19
Or is this thing due for a much larger corrective pullback?
20
Now, this does feel nice on my side,
21
because I've been on the channel for a while talking about how,
22
you know, I think that we are due for some sort of healthy correction or pullback in stocks.
23
And I've not been trading them.
24
So I don't have a short position on or a long position on.
25
I'm just, you know, kind of been waiting for pullback.
26
So it's nice to see one actually take place.
27
And this just goes to show,
28
you know, in this little pullback here,
29
we essentially erased going as far back as,
30
you know, 28 days ago.
31
So you can see how quickly when stocks sell off and for example,
32
if we were to see this thing follow through,
33
you can see how very quickly indices can give back gains.
34
They tend to crawl higher and then drop very,
35
very quickly when they are ready.
36
Anyways, is this a viable dip?
37
We'll talk about that here in today's video.
38
We'll also talk about the dollar,
39
which is screaming higher and is turning into a decent little position here for me.
40
I am short silver.
41
Let me show you my position real quick.
42
Okay, so here is the silver position.
43
I am sitting on a decent little gain here.
44
Well, I shouldn't say little.
45
It's a good gain.
46
We got about a $14,000 runner here on silver.
47
Now, granted, if you've been keeping up with the channel,
48
then you know I had about a $5,000 loss on gold attempting to short that previously.
49
So this is all things considered,
50
and a very nice gain that I had to,
51
you know, try once before in order to achieve this sort of idea.
52
But let's talk a little bit about where we are with precious metals,
53
where we are with stocks,
54
and I'll try and keep it brief
55
because I'm going to have a Sunday video where I go even more in detail tomorrow.
56
By the way, as we get started,
57
remember this is not financial advice.
58
If you could subscribe, hit that thumbs up button, all that good stuff.
59
I greatly appreciate it.
60
And we'll get right into it.
61
Okay, so silver, right?
62
Silver and gold.
63
I mean, really, these things did the same thing on Friday,
64
they both took out kilos.
65
And I really liked the switch over to silver instead,
66
because what you can see here is that obviously,
67
silver is the higher volatility instrument,
68
it moves more on a percentage basis than gold does.
69
So you can see silver was down 8.3% on Friday.
70
That is a absolute fallout.
71
And I believe, let me make sure I'm not wrong about this.
72
Yeah, we are back down to the lows.
73
We're back down approximately to the lows that we have seen of 2026.
74
Precious metals have been struggling in 2026.
75
And let me outline why,
76
as we have been doing the last few weeks,
77
why we have this bullish dollar bearish metals idea.
78
And I should extend that to bonds as well.
79
So if I go over to edgefinder here,
80
I'm going to move this off the screen and switch over to our asset scorecard really quick.
81
I'm going to seek out specifically the dollar,
82
which is kind of at the center of all of this.
83
And first of all, as if we needed more reason to be positive on the dollar recently,
84
institutions have been adding dollar long exposure,
85
a 3% shift positively week over week,
86
according to our latest commitment Traders data tools tracking this stuff shows,
87
again, buyers in the dollar world amongst institutions.
88
Kind of interesting.
89
Fundamental score is getting a plus seven, guys.
90
This is a screaming, screaming confluence of economic indicators.
91
Economic growth data coming in very bullish.
92
We had PMIs come in better than expected.
93
Consumer confidence better than expected.
94
Meanwhile, inflation, CPI, PPI are hot.
95
The two-year yield is on the rise,
96
and the jobs report number was blockbuster.
97
Not this time, not the last time,
98
but all three of the previous times,
99
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

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

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
