Correlation

CADJPY Two long setups on 4HBy looking at the daily chart, I came up with two possible long setups with the first one very close to the current price. First entry zone A bit aggressive. I will pay close attention to it. Second entry zone This one is more comfortable from my side. CAD is a commodity currency which correlates with crude oil. JPY is a safe-haven asset. Normally investors tend to flood into the currency against the backdrop of uncertainty. Now, news pertaining to vaccine is good. US election is done. The recent 2nd or 3rd wave of covid-19 loom the future economy, other factors seems favor the currency pair. So let's see!

Forex Pairs Correlation: Avoiding Contradictory TradesHello, in this post I will be talking about Forex Pair Correlations. A problem new traders frequently find themselves in is opening/having positions that are contradictory. I will elaborate on that but for now, let's understand first what correlation is. A correlation is a statistical relationship which means that when A moves a certain way, B will move a certain way. The stronger the correlation, the more likely that the price will move along with each other/opposite of each other. There are 2 types of correlation; Positive correlation which is A and B will move together, and negative correlation which is A and B will move opposite of each other. Now that we understand what correlations are, I can address the problem that new traders have. Contradictory positions: For example, having a long position in GPBUSD and a short position in GBPJPY is contradictory since these 2 pair has a 87.5% correlation which means 87.5% of the time, it will move together. As you can see in the graph, when the GPBUSD (Blue) moves up, GBPJPY (Orange) moves up and vice versa. This applies to moving down as well. GBPUSD (Blue) and AUDNZD (Yellow) is an example of a negative correlation (-69.7%). My recommendation to avoid having these problems is if you do not yet have an understanding of which pairs will move up and down together, check this website: www.myfxbook.com This website will show you every pair and its correlation. Of course, there are some exceptions to when contradictory trades are fine like when hedging against each other or when 1 trade is short-term/intraday/scalping, looking at the smaller trends and the other one is swing trading/position trading looking at the bigger trend. However, I do not recommend new traders to hold/open contradictory trades until they have some confidence in what they are doing. Main points: 1. A correlation is a statistical relationship which means that when A moves a certain way, B will move a certain way. 2. Positive relationship = Pairs will move the same way. 3. Negative relationship = Pairs will move the opposite way. 4. New traders should avoid contradictory trades. 5.

Ascending Triangle breakout for GLXY?GLXY appears to have broken flush to the upside out of an Ascending Triangle, if there's a retracement in the near future it would be ideal if the horizontal blue line of the pattern turns into support. On the KST there's a noticeable bullish cross. Higher highs & higher lows on the RSI. GLXY is outperforming Bitcoin on a 1-year time frame by over 300%, but notice the close correlation on this chart between BTC & GLXY, BTC is the yellow line.

AUDNZD SUPPORTS S&P500Hello traders! AUDNZD and S&P500 are in positive correlation, not tick by tick, but mostly they are moving together. Even when we see a deviation, they sooner or later somehow catch up each other. Well, after recent mess up and down on S&P500, seems like it remains bullish, it's just in consolidation mode before the uptrend resumes and it can be easily supportive by AUDNZD currency pair, where we see a quite clear three-wave corrective decline within uptrend. It's mainly because of strong Australian Dollar in risk-on sentiment. So, with current strong bounce on both, AUDNZD and S&P500, seems like we will probably see them back to highs in the upcoming days/weeks, especially if AUDNZD starts breaking above channel resistance line. Generally speaking, stocks remain bullish, so as Aussie in risk-on sentiment, we just have to be aware of short-term, intraday corrective pullback early next week. Trade smart!

Is Bitcoin Decoupling From Stocks?If we learned anything in March, it’s that Bitcoin can be susceptible to selloffs in the broader market. However it’s been bucking that tide recently. This chart compares BTCUSD with the S&P 500. Notice how it’s advanced since October 12, while SPX has skidded lower over the same period. This pushed the 10-day correlation down to -0.7. That’s the lowest since late August, but even that moment wasn’t very comparable because stocks were climbing and volatility was calm. The correlation ended simply because BTCUSD paused as the broader market rose. Most other correlation breakdowns historically are similar: BTCUSD fell or stalled as stocks rallied. The current price action is much less common: BTCUSD is actually going up as SPX goes down. It follows a potentially bullish supply/demand dynamic. Rising coronavirus cases and a lack of stimulus increase the odds of more central-bank easing. (Just this week the ECB took a dovish turn.) Meanwhile, institutional adoption has accelerated. BTCUSD continues to consolidate at its highest levels since the bear-market peak in June 2019. Interestingly, the current range closely matches the shooting-star tail from June 26, 2019. (The space between the high and close, shaded on this chart.) Unlike before, BTCUSD is holding this price range and apparently squeezing into a range, with an outside day on Wednesday and an inside candle yesterday. So far, it seems to indicate the leading crypto is holding up much better than the stock market. This might not remain the case for long, but it is now.

Strange Correlation Between USD and African RandThe correlation between the African Rand and USD ( FX:USDZAR ) is super strange. During both the 2008 and 2016 crisis, we saw the African Rand pump an average of about 50%. Coming into 2020 we see the rand up about 35% with an expected 15-20% move up inbound. Do not trade this, this is my personal take on this and well... I definitely wouldn't take a 19 year old serious if I were you. Drop a comment and share your thoughts! Thanks DotcomJack

Has ETH Allowed Us to Predict The Future of DOT?My Fellow Crypto Traders, Appreciate you taking the time to view my analysis in which I hope you may find it beneficial. Please be sure to “LIKE” if you indeed find my analysis useful and/or find my analysis intriguing. Also, I’m new to charting game and the crypto/stock space. So, if you have any constructive criticism or tips, please share. Cheers & Happy Trading! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANALYSIS: DOT appears to be developing an inverted "head & shoulders" formation in which we recently seen in ETH. During ETH "head & shoulders" formation (minor), ETH seen positive price action after a few support re-test at the neckline, which was right after the 9EMA cross. Therefore, as the 9EMA has recently crossed both the 20EMA and the 50EMA for DOT, we may see a 9EMA bounce off the 20EMA for further positive continuation to the upside.

9/25/2020 BITCOIN POSSIBLE TRIANGULAR PATTERN FORMATIONBitcoin might be forming a triangle or possible double top pattern, huge breakout is coming by early october. But since it is very correlated with the stock market, we have to monitor closely on both market structure to identify the breakout direction, if bitcoin breaks and close below the 20 Week MA (140 Days) then it very likely could fill the CME Gap at 9.6k or even heading towards the 50 Week MA (350 Days). As election is coming and uncertainty arised, it's like a natural reaction from investors for being fearful during this period of mid phase pandemic.
