[Image] January 2nd, 2023 | Issue 163   Hello Traders, This week, the marketplace seesawed between gains and losses as volume dwindled during 2022's last trading week - resulting in heightened volatility. With turbulence predicted to begin next year as well, the attention of market watchers will be on the latest employment figures and the start of earnings season next week - each with the potential to spark a fresh reaction in the markets. With this in mind, I am eager to carry out a specific trade as 2022 comes to an end and we move into 2023 - more on that shortly!  Before delving into the latest market conditions and the trade I will be adding to my portfolio, I'd like to take this time to reflect on 2022 as a whole and some of the predictions I made to start off last year. Where was I right? Where was I wrong?  Detailed Review of YellowTunnel's 2022 Predictions  While the pros and cons of YellowTunnel can be rudimentary interpreted via our portfolio performance, something I am also proud of, another way I believe YellowTunnel helps most investors is via our weekly and daily workshops. We offer webinars, both long and short, breaking down the current market conditions, how our tools are interpreting them, and where we believe the market is headed next. And as my winning trade percentage speaks for itself, what I would like to highlight and offer additional proof of the performance of YellowTunnel tools are these predictions and market analysis - regularly offered via live or recorded webinars.  To find most of my predictions for the year we are currently wrapping up, one must go back to last December's webinars, where I broke down what I thought 2022 would hold. I predicted a strong dollar, a rise in interest rates, and increased volatility. All three came true as the dollar performed well this year, moving steadily higher through the first three quarters of the year, interest rates were continuously increased with several super-sized hikes this year, and volatility ran rampant as the market landscape constantly shifted in 2022. You can see some of these predictions here:  [December 2021 Webinar](  I can't take credit for all that occurred. Volatility spiked due to Fed comments, underwhelming economic data, and recession fears. However, VIX received a big uptick which remained present throughout the year as Russia's attack on Ukraine sent jitters through the market, continuing to have an impact through today. Another factor for global volatility was China's 0 COVID policy, which significantly dropped worldwide demand for commodities and products. Fortunately, the expectations I had for the year were in line with my predictions and A.I. forecasts as I was able to wield the continuously changing year into a profitable year for myself and YellowTunnel users. Even when the market average struggled (S&P closed the year at -19% and Nasdaq closed the year at -33%), I was able to close the year in the green - and not just squeak by with minimal gains but double-digit gains! See the performance listed toward the end of the blog.  All in all, my market view of 2022 came true. The Fed had to do something to quell inflation and recessionary fears, the dollar was in a great spot to strengthen as shares wobbled, and the uncertainty regarding the political landscape, Fed action, and geopolitical tension spelled a year high in volatility. Taking these in, while reviewing my A.I. toolset, I was able to book gains and make the right adjustments throughout the year. I will be looking to do the same this year - and then some! Look out for next week's Power Trading and Markets blog for my 2023 Breakdown and Predictions.  As I've stated, at YellowTunnel, we focus on not only trading-centered ideas but also non-trading opportunities that will offer our subscribers a chance to become more well-rounded and complete traders. In addition to the trading tools and ideas available on our website and during our weekly webinars, we provide other resources that can help supplement your Live Trading experience.  That is precisely why I recommend being part of our YellowTunnel trading community, where you can discuss and dissect multiple trading strategies with others. This is exactly what we did in my latest Strategy Roundtable, which we hold weekly on YellowTunnel. I recommend checking out our latest Roundtable webinar in its entirety below.

Meta Platforms (META) is a staple within Nasdaq which offers Facebook, Instagram, as well as VR and other services. With the holiday rally firmly behind us, markets have resurfaced at their lows and are potentially forming new support levels. Technology stocks have been especially hard hit, with Meta's current position exemplifying a heightened vulnerability during this downturn.  If a bear market is to take control at the top of 2023, look for tech stocks to bear the brunt of the burn, while symbols like Meta will see heightened pressure and likely sell-offs. While the current market conditions are lobbying for such a fate for Meta, let's review our A.I. models to see if they agree.

Major U.S. indices were mixed on Friday, but trending lower. The volatility index saw an up-and-down week as low volume increased volatility, currently trading near $22. Source: Barchart.com As the year draws to a close, next week's unemployment figures and the looming end-of-year taxes may hold the key to predicting where the market will go. We are currently monitoring the resistance levels of SPY, which is currently at $390 and then again at $402. Meanwhile, the support for SPY stays put at around $380 and further down to about $370. We expect the market to continue to make new lows for the next 2-8 weeks. We would be BEARISH ON THE MARKET at this time and encourage subscribers to hedge their positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below: After analyzing all the latest news and perusing my A.I. data, I am eager to move forward with a certain trade; however, let us review everything that went down in the market this week before we firmly decide on this position.  This week, share prices decreased significantly as the holiday season drew closer and trading activity slowed down. Low volume amplified market volatility, leading to a noticeable lull in action throughout the working week.  To start off the week, U.S. stock markets faced a rocky patch as their value took a nosedive; Tesla and Apple particularly bore the brunt of bearish trading activity. On Wednesday, investors took a step back to take into account China's recent relaxation of Covid-19 safety measures.  Taking into consideration China's most recent move, there is a real sense of apprehension. There are two possible outcomes... [Click here to read more…](   SECTOR SPOTLIGHT Market research shows this year has been particularly hard on investors. After a detailed review of the market landscape post-2022, it appears not many retail traders and institutions were able to maintain significant gains. At YellowTunnel, we pride ourselves on our performance and transparency. And as we have all year, we will continue using our A.I. and additional market research to spot winners. To start of 2023, I think I have just the symbol and sector for that! ProShares Short QQQ (PSQ) is the perfect symbol for traders to take advantage of the current state of the Nasdaq 100. This inverse ETF enables you to maximize your returns during market sell-offs, offering an effortless approach to shorting the tech sector. Lately trading near $15 per share, PSQ has recently retreated after reaching its 52-week high, making it a great opportunity considering our reading of the market going into Q1 2023. When we apply PSQ to our AI-driven Forecast Toolbox for the near term, we get a Model Grade “B” rating with a Predicted Resistance price target of $15.00, which is right above where PSQ currently trades. At $14.9, PSQ is trading in the upper range of its 52-week range of $10.71-$15.63 – selling off Thursday only to impressively rebound on Friday!
