2022-08-01

The GBPUSD moved to a new high and left some short term support floors on the downside.

Ethereum technical analysis

2022-07-31

by

Some say the most significant component of technical analysis is price movement. ETHUSD hasn't closed a daily candle around $1700 in 3 days. This indicates a lack of bullish momentum to drive Ethereum to a new price level. Technically, ETH is a bear flag. Bear flags continue downtrends. Bear flags have a strong downward move followed by an upward consolidation channel. ETHUSD looks to be in a channel, even without a bear channel, after touching...

FOMC Day. What levels are in play for the EURUSD, USDJPY and GBPUSD

2022-07-27

Google stock analysis & trade idea after earnings

2022-07-27

by

Yesterday, Google reported earnings. GOOG's 3% after-hours gain after the results report reinforces the view that its 32.5 percent drop from its all-time high (in January 2021) to its most recent low (in May 2022) may be adequate.

FOMC preview: Watch for a subtle shift

2022-07-27

Signs of an economic slowdown are here but what will move markets on the FOMC decision are signs of a slowdown in the pace of rate hikes. The market can get laser-focused on the small difference between 75 basis points and 100 basis points but what ultimately matters is the terminal destination of rates. Don’t look for the Fed to say anything explicit, like that they see a peak in inflation. The Fed is missing its mandate on price stability badly...
