  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: Is It Soon Enough to Take Your Profits off the Table?

    April 25, 2014, 1:05 PM

    Bitcoin went up yesterday on increased volume. Based on yesterday’s developments alone, the situation could have looked as though the short-term outlook had improved. It hadn’t meaningfully improved, however, if one took into account the overall situation. So, Bitcoin declined heavily today. The burning question now is: has it declined enough to close short positions? We provide you with our opinion on that.

  • Stock Trading Alert: The Situation on the Broad Market Remains Tense as Companies Release Quarterly Earnings

    April 24, 2014, 7:28 AM

    S&P 500 fluctuates slightly below early April all-time high - investors seem to be preparing for a bigger move. Tech stocks are set to move sharply higher as investors react to corporate earnings announcements, however, whether or not the broad market will follow is a different question.

  • Forex Trading Alert: Weak U.S. Housing Data Supports Euro

    April 23, 2014, 3:17 PM

    Earlier today, the common currency moved higher against the U.S. dollar after data showed that the euro zone manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 in April from 53.0 in the previous month (while analysts had expected an unchanged reading). Later in the day, the Commerce Department showed that sales on new homes dropped 14.5%, which supported the euro as well. Whether these positive numbers are in line with the technical picture of EUR/USD?

  • Oil Trading Alert: How Far Down Could Crude Oil Go?

    April 23, 2014, 1:13 PM

    On Tuesday, crude oil lost 1.78% as concerns over another build in U.S. crude oil inventories overshadowed ongoing fears over tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Because of these circumstances, light crude declined sharply and invalidated the breakout above the medium-term resistance line. Will this strong bearish signal trigger further deterioration in the coming days? Which important support could stop sellers?

  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Miners Outperform Once Again

    April 23, 2014, 11:16 AM

    Yesterday’s price action in the precious metals market might seem perplexing to some investors and there’s good reason for it. Gold declined, but silver didn’t, and mining stocks actually managed to rally more than 1%. In today's alert we examine what actually happened and what's likely to happen next in this "strange" environment.

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: Lack of Action but Not of Signals

    April 22, 2014, 2:25 PM

    Yesterday, Bitcoin edged lower on relatively low volume. The currency ended the day below $500. There was no significant action. Today, we’ve seen more of the same. Is there anything different this time?

  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Action in Platinum

    April 22, 2014, 2:19 PM

    The precious metals sector moved lower at the beginning of the week which coincided with a small move higher in the USD Index. There were no meaningful breakdowns / breakouts, though – with the exception of the platinum market. Let's see how much the latter changed, and why we haven't seen more of the same action in the rest of the sector.

  • Oil Trading Alert: Will News from Ukraine Push Crude Oil Above $105?

    April 18, 2014, 1:32 PM

    On Thursday, crude oil gained 0.76% as the escalating conflict in Ukraine weighted on the price. Thanks to this news, light crude bounced off an important support/resistance line. Will it increase further with the tensions in the background? Does yesterday growth change the outlook for the commodity?

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: Important Implications of Going Down

    April 18, 2014, 1:29 PM

    Bitcoin moved lower yesterday but the bearish short-term outlook was not confirmed by an increase in volume – the trading yesterday was significant but weaker than on the day before. Has anything changed today as Bitcoin is now below $500 on both BitStamp and BTC-e?

  • Forex Trading Alert: GBP/USD – Breakout or Fakeout?

    April 17, 2014, 4:13 PM

    Earlier today, the British pound extended gains and hit a 4-1/2 year high against the greenback as upbeat U.K. employment data released on Wednesday still weighted on the pair. Thanks to these circumstances, GBP/USD broke above the important resistance zone. Despite this bullish sign, the exchange rate reversed. Will the buyers manage to close the day above the previous 2014 high?

  • Oil Trading Alert: Oil Bulls Win for Now, but Will This Last?

    April 16, 2014, 2:44 PM

    On Tuesday, crude oil gained 0.22% as stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data weighted on the price. Thanks to these solid numbers, the commodity closed the day above the medium-term resistance line, but how reliable this breakout is?

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: What Goes Up Might Come Down

    April 16, 2014, 7:16 AM

    Bitcoin went up yesterday on strong volume, further erasing the previous week’s losses. The move was strong but Bitcoin didn’t make it to $500. Today, the appreciation continues but is it really a good time to go long?

  • Forex Trading Alert: EUR/USD – Battle of the Support Line. Who Will Win?

    April 16, 2014, 7:15 AM

    The common currency declined against the U.S. dollar after stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data. Earlier today, the Labor Department showed that the CPI rose 0.2% in March (above expectations for a 0.1% increase), while the core consumer price index (without volatile food and energy items) rose 0.2% last month (also above forecast of a 0.1% gain). Thanks to these better-than-expected numbers, the exchange rate tested the strength of the major support line. Will it stop sellers?

  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Silver and Miners Still Disappoint

    April 15, 2014, 1:51 PM

    Silver paused and mining stocks moved just a little higher yesterday. The latter barely erased Friday’s declines and did so on relatively low volume. This is bearish daily action and if we take the last 3 trading days into account, we also get bearish implications. The reason is that overall gold moved higher, while mining stocks declined on average. Gold, however, moved visibly higher - is the main precious metal leading the way at this time?

  • Stock Trading Alert: Is the Plunge Over Yet?

    April 14, 2014, 11:46 AM

    S&P 500 the lowest since half of February. Stocks remain in a downtrend, but may correct their recent move down.
