  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Dollar’s Plunge and Its Implications

    May 7, 2014, 1:03 PM

    The most important thing that we saw in the markets yesterday was the major decline in the USD Index and the lack of proper response from gold, silver and mining stocks. Such a bullish factor should have made precious metals move much higher – but they didn’t... Or did they?

  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Gold’s Low-Volume Rally and Its Implications

    May 7, 2014, 7:00 AM

    The precious metals sector moved higher on Monday, but the way it moved higher might have surprised even the most experienced market participants. What’s next?

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: Reaction or Lack of Reaction to News from China?

    May 6, 2014, 1:30 PM

    Bitcoin went down yesterday on increased volume. The volume made the short-term situation more bearish than it had been before. Today, not much has happened following bad news for Bitcoin coming from China. Is there a lack of reaction? Or maybe, one has to look in another direction for clues as to what might follow? Read this alert to get to know our opinion on that.

  • Oil Trading Alert: Crude Oil - One Swallow Doesn't Make a Summer

    May 5, 2014, 11:30 AM

    On Friday, crude oil gained 0.72% as stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data and ongoing concerns over tensions between Russia and Ukraine weighted on the price. In this way, light crude rebounded and hit an intraday high of $100.14. Did this rally change anything in the overall outlook?

  • Stock Trading Alert: Sentiment Worsens But No Confirmation of Trend Reversal Yet

    May 5, 2014, 8:45 AM

    S&P 500 continues to fluctuate slightly below early April all-time high as broad market struggles with the resistance at 1,900. Will uptrend resume?

  • Forex Trading Alert: Plunging Euro and Rising Dollar or Vice Versa?

    May 2, 2014, 1:39 PM

    Earlier today, the U.S. dollar moved higher against the common currency after strong U.S. employment data. The Labor Department showed that the U.S. economy added 288,000 jobs in the previous month, well above expectations for a 210,000 increase. The report also showed that the U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 6.3% in April, while analysts had expected a fall to 6.6%. In reaction to these better-than-expected numbers, the euro declined sharply, approaching its important support. Will history repeat itself once again?

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: Moving Down but What Kind of Move Is It?

    May 2, 2014, 12:30 PM

    Bitcoin went up yesterday on BitStamp. This was another day of gains, but the action was not confirmed by volume. The overall move up from Apr. 27 until May 1 didn’t read as strongly bullish even for the short-term. Today, we've seen a move down. Is this the beginning of a new slide in Bitcoin?

  • Forex Trading Alert: USD/CHF – Strong Bearish Action

    April 30, 2014, 2:22 PM

    Earlier today, the U.S. currency moved lower after data showed that U.S. gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 0.1% in the first quarter, well below expectations for a 1.2% growth. In reaction to this, the greenback declined sharply against the Swiss franc and reached the long-term support line once again. Will it withstand the selling pressure in the following days?

  • Oil Trading Alert: Breakout Failed - Will the Breakdown Last?

    April 30, 2014, 9:07 AM

    On Tuesday, crude oil came back above $102 on ongoing concerns that tensions between Russia and the West could lead to stronger sanctions and disturb exports from Russia. However, the commodity erased earlier gains as disappointing data and prospects for increased exports from Libya weighted on the price. Thanks to these circumstances, light crude closed the day below important medium-term line once again. Will the consequences of this event be bearish enough to push the price below the key level of $100?

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: Is This the Beginning of a Move up?

    April 29, 2014, 12:35 PM

    Bitcoin gained yesterday and the volume was almost twice as high as on the day before. This was a move up on increased volume – a development bullish on its own, but not necessarily in the context of the recent decline. Today, however, we've seen more appreciation. Has a move up just started?

  • Forex Trading Alert: EUR/USD – Will Another Fakeout Trigger a Sizable Move?

    April 29, 2014, 12:29 PM

    Earlier today, the euro declined sharply from almost two-week high against the U.S. dollar after preliminary data showed that German consumer prices fell 0.2% this month, and increased 1.3% on a year-over-year basis (while analysts had expected a monthly decline of 0.1% and an annual increase of 1.4%). Did this weakness change anything in the short-term outlook?

  • Stock Trading Alert: Finally Some Bullish Signs

    April 29, 2014, 7:14 AM

    Stocks extend their fluctuations, as broad market remains near all-time high. Investors await economic data, earnings releases. Is it time to be more aggressive?

  • Oil Trading Alert: Other Bearish Arguments and Their Implications for Crude Oil

    April 28, 2014, 2:53 PM

    On Friday, the price of light crude declined from $102 as concerns over domestic supplies encouraged oil investors to sell the commodity for profits. Will the psychological barrier of $100 withstand the selling pressure in the following days?

  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Miners Break Out but Gold Fails to Follow so Far

    April 28, 2014, 1:49 PM

    The situation in the precious metals sector remains tense – miners have broken above the declining resistance line, while gold hasn’t. However, taking Friday’s intraday move in the USD into account, we can say more about the gold-USD link. In today's alert we dive into both issues and also discuss the signal coming from junior mining stocks. What kind of move in the precious metals sector are the above factors likely to generate?

  • Forex Trading Alert: GBP/USD - Ready for New High?

    April 25, 2014, 1:14 PM

    Earlier today, the British pound moved higher against the U.S. dollar after data showed that U.K. retail sales rose 0.1% in March, beating expectations for a 0.4% drop. Despite these encouraging numbers, GBP/USD is still trading between the medium-term support and the 2014 high. Are there any technical factors that could drive the exchange rate higher or lower in the near future?
