    May 16, 2014, 3:27 PM

    The situation in the currency and precious metals markets developed to a large extent as we had outlined it yesterday. The USD Index paused, but gold, silver, and mining stocks caught up a bit in terms of the reaction to the previous dollar’s moves. What's a temporary reaction in this case and what position is favored in our view? You'll find answers in today's alert.

  • Forex Trading Alert: EUR/USD – Currency Bears in Charge

    May 15, 2014, 3:19 PM

    Earlier today, the combination of positive economic indicators in the U.S. pushed the euro to a 11-week low against the greenback. Thanks to this news, EUR/USD slipped to important support levels. Will they withstand the selling pressure and trigger a corrective upswing in the following days? Or maybe today’s show of weakness means that the worst for the common currency is not behind us?

  • Oil Trading Alert: Oil Bulls In Charge – For Now

    May 14, 2014, 1:42 PM

    On Tuesday, crude oil gained 1.34% as worries over the situation in Ukraine and concerns about the success of the agreement between Libya and rebels outweighed disappointing Chinese and U.S. data. In reaction to this, light crude climbed above $102 and approached the next resistance zone. What’s next?

  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Gold Doesn’t Decline Despite Dollar’s Rally – Finally a Show of Strength?

  • Forex Trading Alert: EUR/USD - A Gift for Currency Bears

    May 13, 2014, 4:30 PM

    Earlier today, the ZEW Institute showed that its index of German economic sentiment fell to a 16-month low this month. Additionally, the ZEW Institute reported that its economic sentiment index for the entire euro zone also moved down to 55.2 in May, from a reading of 61.2 the previous month. These disappointing numbers pushed the common currency to a 1-month low against the U.S. dollar. In this way, EUR/USD dropped to its downside target, but is it enough to trigger a corrective upswing?

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: Time to Back Out?

    May 13, 2014, 4:23 PM

    Bitcoin didn't move to far from the previous day's close very much yesterday. The move was on decreased volume and it looked like the decline had paused. Today, however, we've seen some more downward pressure. What is the current short-term outlook? An analysis of past situations for BTC-e helps us come up with an answer.

  • Oil Trading Alert: Breakthrough in Crude Oil – Only A Matter Of Time

    May 12, 2014, 12:35 PM

    On Friday, crude oil hit an intraday high of $101.18 supported by ongoing concerns over tensions in Ukraine. Despite this improvement, the commodity reversed and lost 0.20% as weaker-than-expected economic data from China and a stronger dollar weighted on the price. Because of these circumstances, light crude erased earlier gains and temporarily slipped below the psychological barrier of $100 once again. Is it enough to trigger another sizable downswing?

  • Stock Trading Alert: Stocks Continue To Fluctuate, Will They Trend Up Or Top Out?

    May 12, 2014, 8:28 AM

    S&P 500 is still at an important resistance of 1,900. Investors remain undecided as half of May approaches – “Sell in May and go away” seems not to work yet. Is holding long position still justified?

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: This Move up Might Be Less Bullish Than You Think

    May 9, 2014, 12:38 PM

    Bitcoin didn't move significantly in either direction yesterday which could be an indication that the short-term strength was over. This was further supported by the fact that the volume was almost halved when compared with that of the previous day. There was no strong move down, however and today we've seen the currency move up. In this alert we explain why this move might actually be less bullish than it looks on first sight.

  • Forex Trading Alert: High Volatility in the EUR/USD Pair

    May 8, 2014, 4:31 PM

    Earlier today, the euro moved higher after the European Central Bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at the record low of 0.25%. However, an acceleration of the rally came after U.S. Department of Labor showed that initial claims for jobless benefits in the week ending May 3 fell more than expected. Thanks to these disappointing numbers, EUR/USD hit a fresh 2014 high and approached the key level of 1.4000. Despite this improvement, the exchange rate reversed quickly and declined, erasing all earlier gains. Does this sharp drop suggest that the uptrend might be over?

    May 8, 2014, 12:36 PM

    S&P 500 extends medium-term consolidation as investors remain undecided. Is it still worth holding long positions?

  • Forex Trading Alert: Another Sell Signal Approaching

    May 7, 2014, 2:20 PM

    On Tuesday, the common currency hit a 8-week high against the U.S. dollar as the combination of the euro zone's service-sector PMI, better-than-expected retail sales and disappointing U.S. trade data weighted on the exchange rate. In reaction to these circumstances, EUR/USD approached the annual high and is currently trading in the narrow range. What’s next? Will the USD Index give us any interesting clues?

  • Oil Trading Alert: Crude Oil - Another Show of “Strength”

    May 7, 2014, 1:07 PM

    On Tuesday, crude oil gained 0.48% as a weaker dollar and ongoing concerns over tensions between Russia and Ukraine weighted on the price. Thanks to these circumstances, the price of light crude climbed above $100 once again. Did this show of “strength” invalidate any of bearish technical factors that we noticed in the previous week?
