The trajectory undertaken by this particular currency is again of interest, similar to other USD pairs and the DXY overall. Weighing less inside the index VS the EURO, we can still see a clear trend over time. Rebound/GBP strength (USD weakness on soft landing/fed ease) has been persistent up until very recently, where we have seen the BOE be more optimistic on...
This particular index is one where many lessons can be taken and learned. You can apply these strategies to any Market, anytime.
Currently, Markets are changing from near to long term risk sentiment. Focusing mainly on the lowering of rates across the board of global economies, the Markets for many correlated pairs have drifted somewhat sideways. Any sudden change in sentiment (risk wise) often causes a skew in this, as we have seen from some recession fear/risk off sentiment...
Many Indices will range from time to time, often as the direction for that particular economic zone becomes less clear. That is typical for the FTSE, and at the moment worries around the highly anticipated UK budget are keeping it stalled. This range has been repeated for a long period of time and gives you a gauge of the acceptable value of the Index right now...
Oil markets have presented an interesting case for a significant period time, ever since the rocket highs we saw around July 2022. The real waning of extreme demand has slowly created lower highs rebounding to a key level of support that is very notable and has provided many repeated long side entries/exits. Lately, concerns over Chinese demand for oil has...
Trading Crypto Assets is inherently a 'belief' business. That is why you get some folks who argue its a good investment, others say its complete toilet paper. Whichever way you sit, there is one thing that is really important to understand. Whenever you are buying anything, it is always best done on a reasonable dip. Dips are the only way to gain 'value' on an...
If you have been watching over comments out of the FED, or the direction of the US dollar and its flow through the Markets, then this will act as a key guide for anticipating and understanding potential moves. For a considerable period, the DXY has floated within a reasonable range. The predictability this has brought has been coupled with the ebb and flow of...
There are many who are looking short on Gold/XAUUSD with patience for a long term swing to the downside. There are also many who take the same bias on the SPX and markets that have continuously rallied. The current 'Risk On' sustained environment is responsible for this. Traders are essentially betting on a softer landing and extreme enthusiasm is going into...
Retail Sales (US) came in hot and fed strength into the USD and DXY as a result. This takes us nearer to the upside of a sideways formed trajectory. Here's what to look for.
The dovish outlook via the ECB VS BOE uncertainty/hawks has brought us to lows. Rebounds came as CPI fell in the UK. Would not be surprised if upside becomes apparent.
EUR/NZD has fell tentatively on comments out the ECB. Technical levels persist above and below, as drawn.
ECB rate decision and comments are coming shortly, as well as some US data (retail sales). Expectation is easing from the ECB, if continued with further comments that the cycle may be faster, then we could see further weakness. Retail sales can also affect FED sentiment and decisions, a higher reading being bullish for the USD and lower the case for a faster...
GBP/CHF is subdued this AM on a lower CPI. Dovish bets increased, may see range continue on any rebound.
If you want to learn how to protect your capital via hedging, then watch. It's a highly advanced method, which helps a lot on continued rallies. Clear example on the latest up move via GBPCAD.
CPI dropping has brought a dovish case for the BOE. With clear weakness flowing into pounds, we can look for further entry/exit zones.
Rising away from Key Moving Averages, USDCAD has rallied back towards highs. Slight rejection in the last couple of HRS. Looking to maintain short bias for a while.
Closing ranges on the USDMXN are promoting short side entries. Expecting range to ultimately break. Eyes on FED (and Banxico if you can).
Buying extremes is bad, as you are diminishing long side value. Also if you get a sudden change in market sentiment you will get hit fast. Here's why.
