it was easily a 1-2 for Ferrari but sadly Sainz got some problems.


Have you seen the Haas? they were using the new version of the Ferrari Hybrid engine and they were so fast! Ferrari will use it soon aswell

Yup!  Schumacher at 6th?  I think that's the highest finish he's ever had since he joined Haas or F1 for that matter.  And two spots above Magnussen too.  Smiley  Can't wait to see more in a couple of weeks.

And when do you think is Ferrari using the new version of those power units.  I think from a fan perspective, use it asap!  Verstappen seems so relaxed rn.  I wanna see Leclerc win three straight races and make the driver's championship close...  That way we'll see Verstappen back in villain mode like he did vs Hamilton.  Grin

Manchester United are doing all they can to finalize the Frenkie de Jong deal for themselves. They agreed upon the transfer fee as far as I know and they were discussing the add-ons after that. They might really be close to happy ending now. Laporta said before that Frenkie de Jong was still happy to be part of the team. However he doesn't seem like he is opposing to this transfer too. Barcelona are going to have much work to do in case they sell him. On the other hand this transfer is going to help them raise funds significantly too of course.
This Frankie de Jong deal has dragged on for sooo longggg and I don't this transfer will be happening,  whatever happened at Manchester that such deals take this long... its either the scouts aren't doing a good job or it's the fans that keep speculating on such transfers which aren't anywhere from being signed.
De Jong transfer process is very complicated, Manchester United as the party who wants to bring De Jong has not been able to reach an agreement with Barcelona. Manchester United reasoned that Barcelona's asking price was too high, in my opinion it was reasonable, because De Jong's contribution to Barcelona was very good. Another reason is because Barcelona still wants to continue his togetherness with De Jong, he also doesn't want to leave Barcelona in the near future. Manchester United must immediately look for other players as an alternative to De Jong, because their efforts with Barcelona have been deadlocked.

But some rumors are swirling around that United has talked to the Barca brass and has agreed terms.  There was even a write up somewhere that De Jong was disgusted with the move.  Not sure if true or if football journos just want more engagement by sensationalizing the whole thing.  Lol.

Anyway some early signs that it could be another season of pain for United under their new manager...  Ten Hag made Maguire the captain to the fans' dismay.  The dressing room wasn't happy too as they've been pushing for De Gea to be their captain.

See many missing names, guys what are you waiting for? Go and join, the more we have, the more money I win  Grin
will pay and join this week  Smiley 
best and worst signings you ask? I think Kalvin Phillips will be a flop. He's the most overrated english player right now imo, paying almost 50M for him is a daylight robbery... best sigining, Haaland. He'll prolly score like 30+ goals or something if he can stay injury free (big if).

Yup, same gut feeling here.  He's gonna be something like the Nathan Ake signing from Bournemouth.  I think Ake's transfer fee was over 40m GBP?  Could be wrong.  But yeah... 

Another great move that Man City did was extend Rodri's contract.  That guy is the unsung hero of the club.  Very underrated player imho.  And what do you mean by 'big if'.  Is Haaland prone to injuries?  I think it's still too early to say he's injury prone.  He's still so young.

^  Burgos vs Jourdain will def be a banger.  Both are strikers.  Shane Burgos is better and he fought better competition but Jourdain is on the rise and getting better too.  Big test for Jourdain.  And there's also Simon vs Jack Shore...  Both are wrestlers but this is gonna be high level grappling imho but Simon can crack.  Another one would've been Algeo vs Quarantillo if it wasn't cancelled.  Both fighters have similar styles and with good cardio.

Soriano vs Lungiambula could be a banger too but both guys looking bad lately.

Once Bitcoin will not fall below $18,000. It's impossible for Ethereum to drop below $900 or worst $800.
At the start of July, Bitcoin and Ethereum went good first weekly candle of July is good for me, Bitcoin is staying already above $20,000 so Ethereum is also the same which is during this kind of market condition, I believe that Ethereum collerate with Bitcoin too close.

Here's the thing...  BTC could very may well drop below 18k.  I think this little bounce we're all seeing rn is just that, a dead cat bounce.  But I could be wrong.  And I find it very hilarious there are a couple of guys in the forum saying dead cat bounces aren't real for BTC.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  I mean wtf?  The market is the market whether it's crypto, stocks or forex.  These things just happen as market participants aka traders react vs each other.
2526  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for July on: July 10, 2022, 03:26:48 PM
A 2nd retest under 20k is at least 50% likely I think.   If we only test the lows it would be quite calm by comparison to the extremes in prospect, I was expecting worse with this great upset in two main components to dollar.  Its an external shock this time is how I see it as Euro and YEN weakness at the same time and yet the FED raises rates and other events, all adds up

You've been watching these markets for as long as I am to say that's not usually the case.  Here's what happened in the past.  We get dead cat bounces and then sideways action...  Everybody starts thinking it's finally the 'bottom' then out of nowhere a quick sell down lower, hitting the bottom for a slooow recovery up.  But by then a lot of peeps have run out of money or have given up at the most crucial moment.

^  Aimann Zahabi's older brother is Firas Zahabi.  The guy runs Tristar Gym who once housed two great fighters, GSP and Rory MacDonald.  He could come up with a game plan to beat a supposed superior fighter in these low level matches imho.

Anyway the next event looks like there's gonna be around three or so good underdog picks at first glance.  It's gonna be another greasy card but the main event will def be great.  

Note to self for the next event:  Never ever put a low level match up at the top two tickets of the lottery...  Would've won thhree tickets again if not for the Lawrence pick.  Broke even as I won the top ticket tho...

I think RdA will win the match against Fiziev and that's because of the respect he'd have for RdA and the experience he has to fight 5 rounds and use the energy wisely while being tough through the fight. Both fighters are going all in on their stand up game and not focusing much on ground game. We could witness some fireworks. Cant wait. Cheesy

Fiziev starched RDA.  Cheesy

Happy for Leclerc and so sad for Sainz.  It would've def been a Ferrari 1 - 2 if not for the power unit blow up of Sainz's car.  But it seem like something clicked with the Ferrari cars this race.  They had the pace and the pits were well timed.  Over all still a good result.  I can't wait for the next one and see how Red Bull reacts.

A couple more result like this for Ferrari and it's going to be another great season.

^  Oh...  Fiziev vs RDA and after seeing what went on for the whole 5 rounds with Adesanya vs Cannonier?  Definitely!  Fiziev is really good at striking, I think he has decent wrestling defense but it hasn't really been tested yet.  RDA will test him.  Test his wrestling defense and his cardio.  Omg can't wait!  It's gonna be a great main event.  I've been backing Fiziev since his win vs Marc Diakiese.  But I have a feeling RDA could derail the hype train.  We'll see.

The starting two laps of the sprint rwce was nice with Leclerc and Sainz going at it vs Verstappen but then at the second lap it then proceeded to be a battle for P2 between two team mates which was hilarious to see cos we know Leclerc is mad af after Silverstone.  Cheesy

I think Leclerc will really start to fight for every inch of the remaining races, be it vs Verstappen, Perez or even vs Sainz.  His season has finally now really started.  I hope he wins a couple of races and gets closer in points with Verstappen.  That would makes things a lot more interesting.

I am pretty sure we will go sideways for most of July. Even the stock market is looking pretty boring right now. Very little volatility.

Most people are enjoying the summer and not in front of a computer trading. I think September is when the real fun will start with stocks and crypto.

Exactly! July and August will be boring with little volatility. Stocks will be rising again probably in September and will drag crypto with them. The tide lifts all boats!

Are you following the market tho?  It's really not boring rn esp altcoins.  And from a TA perspective it looks like the bottom is in but from a macro perspective everything looks like it's all going to shit sooner or later.  So I guess go long with the bounce and see where it takes us.  I'm looking at 28k to be the resistance for this run.  Dunno..  I could be wrong.

Can we reach $22k then?

It seems that sentiment is very positive, but in the recent months, that's how we start. Couple of increase in the first and second week and then goes down hard again at the start of the third and then the fourth week.

So this might be the trend again, and we might go back to $19k at the end of the month.

We can tbh.  Next resistance in the daily chart is at 28k and the bounce could very may well reach that imho.  But we'll see.  Crypto has been very sensitive to any kind of bad news lately.  You know...  The bear market of things.  Total opposite of the bull market when a little bit of good news would pump a random coin around 5x in just a week.  Cheesy  That's when the market is easy to trade.  The one we're having rn should mostly be avoided.  Then again, I could be wrong.  17.5k could be the bottom.  But as I always say, we'll see...  Nobody can really predict these things.

Adesanya def could out point Pereira but Adesanya isn't 100% unhittable.  Just one touch from that guy in those 4 ounce gloves, Adesanya sleeps.  He was slept by Pereira with the bigger gloves they use in kickboxing.  So there's prolly some doubt in Adesanya's mind if he can really beat this guy as he was already between twice by Pereira.  


If Israel Adesanya's pacing is changing here then Alex Pereira can not read him, this is my take Alex Pereira can memories and download his opponent's movements, and from that, he can surely throw his killer left hook that makes Adesanya and Strickland feel the canvas, if Israel Adesanya could make his movement unreadable then he can make Pereira miserable in their fight, or unpredictable, well you can surely say that Israel Adesanya sometimes is unpredictable so I think Israel Adesanya can still have the advantage when he face Pereira for the 3rd time, and this time through the combat sports that Adesanya dominates,



But here's the thing tho Pereira knows Adesanya and has already won vs Adesanya twice in kick boxing.  Yeah sure it's a different sport but Adesanya isn't really known for his wrestling and doesn't do much of any grappling except for defending against it.

It's going to be a very interesting match up...  Something which Adesanya won't be too keen to engage imho.

Here are the weigh in results for the event.  The Pickett vs Tiuliulin was rescheduled to another event, so it's just 11 UFC matches for the weekend.

I missed Q1 and Q2 and caught a stream at the first red flag of Q3..   I forgot that it was going to be a sprint race with quali happening today instead of tomorrow.  But yeah, unfortunate for both Mercedes drivers.

And on the last runs after the second red flag, I really thought Leclerc had P1 in the bag when Verstappen had a slightly slower run at sector 1 and 2.  But surprisingly got pole after a decent last run at sector 3.

^  Do you want to make a small side bet out of it?  Just 10 bucks for fun.  Grin  I say ETH goes down below 1k USD and touches 800 - 850 range within the year.  The bounce we're seeing now really feels like it's just that...  A normal bear market bounce before it all starts trending back down again.  Dunno...  But I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about as you have been watching the market for as long as I am.

The poll is pretty close...  11 votes for yes and 14 votes for no.  But with the whole market getting some action on the buy side, I think people will start forgetting that we're still in a bear market.  But this bounce is good for a small, quick trade to make a little something something for sports betting.  Lol.

This is what I think...  After the bounce, BTC goes break down below 20k again and touches 13k - 14k range.  That's the part we wake up and start buying!

This evening Juventus had a lot of meeting and this is the situation.

Di Maria will come to Italy tomorrow.
Pogba will come Saturday.

Today Juventus pushed for Koulibaly from Napoli and Zaniolo from Milan and Arnautovic (back up player)

Pogba is a very good signing but only for Juventus, where the club already knows how to use him and what he's really capable of.  And it's a free transfer too and he's just 29 years old.  Cheesy  Juve bought him for cheap from United then sold him back with a high price tag and now they're getting him back again for free.  Lolol.

Anyway, what's the news on De Ligt?  A week ago I heard he's going to Chelsea, now it's Bayern Munich.  I think he could be a good signing for United.  Maguire sucks.

.

Against Pereira, I fear for Adesanya tbh.  The Pereira guy has serious powerrr in those hands.  But yeah...  It isn't just about Pereira to pressure Adesanya into going all out vs him.  I mean after how Adesanya's last match turned out, he'll def be pressured to perform.  And he could get starched.  ;/
Izzy will likely out point him, just like in their kick boxing matches, it was almost domination in terms of point fighting, but Alex has that power. They don't call him stone hands for nothing. Man can punch, and we need that threat, but also that rivalry to really wake up Izzy. His style of fighting gets him the wins, although the one with Whittaker recently was very close, but ultimately it doesn't entertain the fans.

Adesanya def could out point Pereira but Adesanya isn't 100% unhittable.  Just one touch from that guy in those 4 ounce gloves, Adesanya sleeps.  He was slept by Pereira with the bigger gloves they use in kickboxing.  So there's prolly some doubt in Adesanya's mind if he can really beat this guy as he was already between twice by Pereira.  

Some replays of those guys in the main event.  Enjoy...
