{quote} What do I think? I think an update is due as new information has arrived! {image} Arrow 1 - 2026 low to 2026 high Arrow 2 - retracement right down into the 50% zone, and 2026 open (yellow zone) Grey Zone - the 5-days open range of May, now a breakout UP Also, I can post the 7 USD cross pairs for further confirmation of USD strength, just say the word!
The pivotal headline crossed the wires from FXStreet: “Gold sinks 2% as Iran war fuels fresh inflation shock” Marked as a high-impact event, the news immediately reshaped positioning across the XAU complex.
Two further developments backed up the move. FXStreet reported “US Dollar Index climbs to five-week high as hawkish Fed bets gather pace”, and ForexLive reported “Powell exits after one of the wildest Fed eras in history”.

{quote} I left out all fundamental gobble-gook: you can discuss that with W0lfram(1) Did you ever read How I Made $2 Million in the Stock Market: The Darvas System? Granted, that was for stocks, but price action is price action, and the good thing about Forex, it works up and down. The boxes are all breakouts, and they do work!
(2) It's not clear where you think the breakout happened, trendlines are so subjective, unlike horizontal lines, they are fixed, and then you didn't draw any for the eventual retracement?...
I have never read that book, but the stock market always goes up, so making $2 million in stocks is no great accomplishment. The fed mandates 2% inflation and inflation is a tax that goes to shareholders so it's programmed into the system that stocks always go up. Leveraging that observation for profit shouldn't be too hard.

{quote}So your theory is a virus just happened to pop out of a jungle in china, perfectly evolved to attack humans, perfectly timed to disrupt the election of the most hated president in history, having the hallmarks of lab creation, while simultaneously and coincidentally Ft Detrick's germ lab had containment violations and was consequently shut down?
So it wasn't just leaked - 'they' released it with specific goal of disrupting elections? Why did it almost work the other way?
Trump's rating was at highest point ever in March '20 - his personal best 49%. Was it to help him or to prevent re-election? It's unclear from your conspiracy theory.
He then lost by 44 000 votes across 3 states...
b.
sars-cov-2 was notably notably imperfect at attacking humans:
- it was largely asymptomatic in majority of cases. I would say a terrible design for a bioweapon - silent spread that lets the host walk around feeling fine. Or did they bet on a disruption through policies? Failed anyway, probably designed by first-year villain science student.
- age-stratified fatality rate, mostly lethal to the elderly
- it mutated continuously towards lower lethality, which is what "natural" viruses do
- it had no treatment resistance built in, it was immidiately vulnerable to existing antivirals
Didn't they have any better 'disruptors' or something more 'focused' on a target?
Compare to smallpox. 30% fatality rate across all age groups, highly stable, airborne, no animal reservoir, long incubation enabling spread before symptoms...
c.
Every pandemic can be retroactively perfectly timed to disrupt whatever was happening.
- 1918 Spanish flu
- 1957 Asian flu during Eisenhower 2nd term
- MERS and Arab spring
- 2014 Ebola hit during midterms
- sars-cov-1 2002
- HIV
- h1n1
....
Novel viruses emerge from animal reservoirs at a rate of roughly 3-4/year identified since 1980. Given the base rate why wouldn't one emerge in 2019?
The objection is that indeed we DO find those sorts of arrangements in other coronaviruses, but how do we know those coronaviruses were not also manufactured?

Sørensen paper. After some googling found the following:
All 3 authors hold equity in the company whose vaccine candidate the paper is simultaneously promoting. The lab-leak framing in the paper's introduction exists to justify their vaccine design and serves a commercial purpose

But read this - https://bylinetimes.com/2023/10/02/t...ecret-attacks/ - authors, their paper, some leaked emails.
Good choice for supportive argument of your "theory"
Thank you for thatpublished research arguing that the virus contains inserted sequences in its spike protein that do not appear to have evolved naturally.

Asymptomatic doesn't mean it didn't attack. It actually means it did attack.
I would say a terrible design for a bioweapon - silent spread that lets the host walk around feeling fine.
I would say a perfect design for a bioweapon that selects for political enemies while sparing friends.
it mutated continuously towards lower lethality, which is what "natural" viruses do
Self-limiting = perfect bioweapon.
- it had no treatment resistance built in, it was immidiately vulnerable to existing antivirals
And yet it killed how many?
Didn't they have any better 'disruptors' or something more 'focused' on a target? Compare to smallpox. 30% fatality rate across all age groups, highly stable, airborne, no animal reservoir, long incubation enabling spread before symptoms...
That's too deadly and a poor choice.

With the exception of 1918 flu none of those caused much damage and didn't disrupt anything.
SARS-Cov-1 was so easily contained that one has to wonder how SARS-Cov-2 became pandemic. The most likely answer is it was released on 3 continents (US, Italy, China) simultaneously to prevent any containment possibility.
Novel viruses emerge from animal reservoirs at a rate of roughly 3-4/year identified since 1980. Given the base rate why wouldn't one emerge in 2019?
Never heard that stat so I don't know.
ad hoc for the rescue. Perfect example of unfalsifiability in real time. Any natural example can be dismissed as also manufactured
How we know they are not manufactured is a legit question, not a dismissal. A possible answer is because we find those arrangements in other proteins.
d. Sørensen paper. After some googling found the following: All 3 authors hold equity in the company whose vaccine candidate the paper is simultaneously promoting. The lab-leak framing in the paper's introduction exists to justify their vaccine design and serves a commercial purpose
So that's your conspiracy theory? I don't see what incentive a vaccine competitor has to alleging a man-made origin. Would it boost sales? Did it boost sales?
The actual published paper does not claim the sequences couldn't have evolved naturally.
Unlikely, not impossible.
That specific claim was softened out before publication and then reinserted into public discourse via the Daily Mail and podcasts, bypassing the scrutiny that removed it. https://fullfact.org/health/richard-...avirus-claims/
Likely because if they had included all that they wanted to publish, then it wouldn't have been published.
"Within this section, the study authors write about data showing that there are “inserted sections placed on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike surface”, which may explain how the virus binds with human cells. The paper in its current published and peer-reviewed form doesn’t say this couldn’t have occurred naturally."
What other way can "inserted" be understood?
But read this - https://bylinetimes.com/2023/10/02/t...ecret-attacks/ - authors, their paper, some leaked emails. Good choice for supportive argument of your "theory"
That link has nothing to do with the topic.
It was uncertain in 2020. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2211107119 https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...73506120304165 - showed furin cleavage sites have evolved independently multiple times across the coronavirus family https://www.frontiersin.org/journals...21.649314/full - documented their existence in coronaviruses dating back to at least 1954
As far as I know, no one is implying that furin cleavage sites themselves are artificial, but rather how certain ones could be.
lol no thanks. Nebraska is landlocked. Much like your 'evidence' You can continue living there with your family, I can send you a book about Occam's Razor as a gift
The simplest explanation is deliberate release. Otherwise you have to explain why it wasn't contained as easily as other SARS, why timed so perfectly to disrupt the election, why Ft Detrick's germ research was shuttered at the same time as the first cases emerged, why it affected Asians less than whites, why it attacked humans so efficiently if it's truly novel.
Much easier explanation is someone with security clearance absconded with it and set it loose on 3 continents. Such a simple theory explains everything. But it maybe it conflicts with your stockholm syndrome?
This is fun! Keep it up!

omg, what a fucking retard
No True Scotsman
When presented with a counterexample, you reclassify it as "not a calamity." Yes it was. I can refer to Oxford dictionary or Congressional Records where they call it "calamity".
Because your entire argument requires extraordinary competence.
An irrational actor cannot simultaneously: engineer a virus with specific age-stratified mortality, time a release for maximum electoral impact, maintain operational security across multiple governments for 6 years and seed 3continents without genomic detection.
Irrationality and sophisticated coordinated precision are mutually exclusive. You want an incompetent irrational actor who nonetheless executed a flawlessly calibrated operation.
Good luck with that heavy burden of proof, dummy. All you have so far is your jelly-brain conspiracy theory. Although it's your right to be a dummy, freedom of conscience and all that..
Age-adjusted Covid mortality in the US was highest among Black and Hispanic Americans who vote 85-90% democratic.
What a chart from donkey;s ass? Even there the max.reading is 47.3, you can take that figure if you like.
Here's normal one: 
Georgia, Texas, Florida, and many other Republican-led states had no meaningful lockdowns and still expanded mail-in access in 2020
False again, cunthead. Simply not true historically, let alone epidemiologically.
Measles, polio, and many other pathogens have historically spread with minimal or no pre-symptomatic transmission.
Patients were coughing heavily in hospitals and homes before being isolated. That was more than enough contact to sustain an R0 of 2-3, which is all you need for an epidemic.
More examples for you: Ebola, smallpox (little to no non-symptomatic infectious cases) and the classic rabies
So youre saying: -"Deliberate release that spreads exactly like natural spread, with identical genomic signatures to natural spread, through the same travel routes as natural spread."
Please, present proofs that it was released deliberately on 3 continents
At what point does the deliberate release become undifferentiated from natural emergence?
Sure, cunthead. Let's see you prove positive one of your claims.. oh wait..
Bat CoV CD35 was collected from wild bat populations in remote areas of Southeast Asia as part of routine wildlife surveillance.
The sampling locations are documented in the paper.
"maybe those wild bats were near a secret lab that contaminated them" is unfalsifiable by design - just the way you like it lol - it can be applied to any wild animal sample anywhere on earth. Maybe you can prove they were near some secret lab in jungles or share a link?
But, please, not so shitty as for 3 scientists
You're using "most research is wrong" to dismiss findings from multiple independent research groups in multiple countries using genomic data - a high-powered, high-reproducibility methodology - while simultaneously citing the Sørensen paper, which was rejected by major journals, written by a team of three with financial conflicts and whose claims were softened under peer review.
If most published research is wrong, the Sørensen paper is far more exposed to that critique than the genomic studies from Nature, Science and PNAS.
Cute. In your cunthead the natural origin theory requires believing in an improbable coincidence. It doesn't.
Novel virus spillover from wildlife is a documented, quantified, ongoing process - approximately 3-4 new zoonotic viruses identified per year since 1980.

The same virus was released on 3 continents. It's no different than people getting on a plane and spreading it to different continents.

No way you can claim bats have never been near a lab, or virus they have didn't at one point originate from a lab. You can't prove a negative.

Not the older ones. Conservatism always skews older, even in minority populations. It's explained by the fact that older people want things to be the same or return to how things used to be (conservation in time, aka, conservative) whereas younger people want to progress forward to something new.
Also Black and Hispanic make up 1/3 of the population, so any liberal bias lost on minorities would be more than offset by the other 2/3 of the population.
It amazes me that you think you're so smart. From where did you get that impression? Dunning-Kruger? I mean, you seem to have a decent command of language, but you totally fall off a cliff with the most remedial logic and creative insight. A little humility would suit you better.
What a chart from donkey;s ass? Even there the max.reading is 47.3, you can take that figure if you like. Here's normal one:
It doesn't matter what chart, none show Trump getting more popular due to covid, certainly not after accounting for the margin of error. His popularity plunged after covid, then rallied back for the election, but never achieved new heights. So the pandemic did exactly what the irrational actor surmised it might do.
Georgia, Texas, Florida, and many other Republican-led states had no meaningful lockdowns and still expanded mail-in access in 2020
I assumed you'd get the gist of what I was saying, but you don't handle vagueries well, it seems. Everything must be spelled out precisely or you're totally lost lol
Let me help you: lockdowns, voluntary seclusion, and any other reticence to go out experienced by the public at large cause mail-in ballots. Is that precise enough to pierce your personality disorder?
False again, cunthead.
Oh wow now you're really getting your panties in a knot. Bringing out the big calumny guns! A couple more rounds with me and you'll blow a fuse lol
Simply not true historically, let alone epidemiologically. Measles, polio, and many other pathogens have historically spread with minimal or no pre-symptomatic transmission. Patients were coughing heavily in hospitals and homes before being isolated. That was more than enough contact to sustain an R0 of 2-3, which is all you need for an epidemic. Measles, polio, and many other pathogens have historically spread with minimal or no pre-symptomatic transmission... More examples for you: Ebola, smallpox (little to no non-symptomatic infectious cases)...
You need to tell the CDC they are wrong:
"An infected person can spread measles to others even before knowing they have the disease." https://www.cdc.gov/measles/causes/index.html
"An infected person can spread the virus to others immediately before and up to 2 weeks after symptoms appear. People who don't have symptoms can still pass the virus to others and make them sick." https://www.cdc.gov/polio/about/index.html
You could be right about smallpox and ebola since they spread by scabs and body fluids, respectively. But if respiratory diseases were reliant upon symptoms to spread then the malaise of the afflicted would prevent them from spreading it, which draws into question how the virus came to be.
Rabies requires no symptoms to spread which is why, by law, animals are quarantined after biting someone to see if symptoms eventually appear. I had to endure the ordeal after being bitten by a cat with no symptoms.
But back to the original point: there is no way SARS could be solely reliant upon symptomatic transmission and be evolutionarily viable.
So youre saying: -"Deliberate release that spreads exactly like natural spread, with identical genomic signatures to natural spread, through the same travel routes as natural spread." Please, present proofs that it was released deliberately on 3 continents
The proof is that it wasn't contained like SARS-cov-1 and MERS, and had 3 distinct hotspots in China, Italy, and the US. I remember 2004 and couldn't believe what a nothing-burger it turned out to be. Even more amazing is how the same nothing-burger happened again and somehow shut the entire planet down.
Sure, cunthead. Let's see you prove positive one of your claims.. oh wait..

"maybe those wild bats were near a secret lab that contaminated them" is unfalsifiable by design - just the way you like it lol - it can be applied to any wild animal sample anywhere on earth.
It's not by design, but you're otherwise correct that wild-sourced doesn't necessarily mean not-artificial, and therefore cannot be used as proof of natural evolution. So if we find a coronavirus that has aspects of it that appear inconsistent with natural evolution, and then the objection is that we find other coronaviruses and HIV with the same oddity, then it draws into question the other viruses rather than redeeming the original one in question. Considering the length of time that coronaviruses have been tinkered with, it shouldn't strain credulity. Cows, chickens, tomatoes, apples, grains and most of our food is not natural, but man-made. Finding something natural is actually quite difficult.
Maybe you can prove they were near some secret lab in jungles or share a link? But, please, not so shitty as for 3 scientists You're using "most research is wrong" to dismiss findings from multiple independent research groups in multiple countries using genomic data - a high-powered, high-reproducibility methodology - while simultaneously citing the Sørensen paper, which was rejected by major journals, written by a team of three with financial conflicts and whose claims were softened under peer review.

I get what you're saying, but my theory isn't reliant upon a man-made virus, so it's an irrelevant waste of time to get mired in weeds that I have no expertise to navigate. Man-made would certainly add credibility to my theory, but a failure of containment at Fort Detrick could just as easily involve a naturally occurring pathogen such as smallpox or ebola as it could a tinkered one, or alternatively the "wild" species found in bats could in fact be artificial. Your devotion to discrediting one minor nuance while thinking you're kicking a central pillar of my theory is yet another example of the lapse in logic you've been exhibitioning since you arrived on this thread.

Well, dummy, theoretically even you could have done it, but someone a million times more advanced than you should have designed it "to attack" people based on their political views.
Me: - SARS-1 was only infectious after symptom onset.
You: - Nonsense. No pathogen can only be infectious with symptom onset or it wouldn't find enough hosts to survive. THAT would be a truly engineered virus!
Me: - *giving you some examples*
They're not wrong. You just can't read and comprehend. Try again, read word-by-word with pauses.
At least you have googled something...
Let's get back to SARS-1 profile and your 'nonsense' response.
The rate of viral shedding is low in the initial few days of illness, but in nasopharyngeal aspirates, faeces, and upper respiratory tract specimens, it rises significantly after 6 days to peak at 12–14 days after onset of disease. Since patients are unlikely to be highly infectious in the first few days of illness, early isolation measures would probably be effective in prevention of transmission
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/l...255-7/fulltext
The fact that the virus appeared to be transmitted by passengers who were in the symptomatic phase of illness but not by those who were in the presymptomatic phase suggests that the risk of transmission varies according to the phase of illness. It is likely that persons who fly during the incubation period pose very little or no risk to other passengers
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa031349
Transmission of SARS-CoV occurred mainly after days of illness and was associated with modest viral loads in the respiratory tract early in the illness, with viral loads peaking approximately 10 days after symptom onset. Our results support our findings that the infectiousness profile of SARS-CoV-2 may more closely resemble that of influenza than of SARS
