Fraudulent scheme is imitating Scandinavian Capital Markets
Recently, we detected a fraudulent scheme that is spoofing users by cloning our website and persuading them to open accounts and deposit funds with them.
Market Update 8/9 – Silver Crashes – What Now?
The silver crash bounced from a median line today. While the action may feel like capitulation, I’m watching for resistance from the line that crosses lows in June and July (red line). That line is about 24.20. Very near term, price could bounce near 23.05 (see below). The 61.8% retrace of the rally from March 2020 is 18.71. Keep that level in mind for major support if reached.
Market Update 8/5 – Watch USDTRY Up Here
USDTRY has reached the bottom of the proposed resistance zone allow for one more push to test the 61.8% retrace of the decline from the June high. That level is 8.6044. The 50 day average is just below that level. Don’t forget about the contrarian implications from The Economist cover!
Market Update 8/4 – Japanese Yen Volume Reversal
he 25 and 75 lines nailed BOTH the high and low today for USDJPY. I’m willing to buy into the center line near 109.15 given the daily volume reversal today (see futures chart below). Near term upside focus is the upper channel line near 110.00.
Market Update 8/3 – NZDUSD .7100 is Key
.7100 might be in play again for NZDUSD. The level has been a pivot since December. It’s also near the 25 line within the channel from the February high. Since the 75 line was support (twice), we should expect resistance near the 25 line (median line symmetry!). .7100 is also the 200 day average.
Market Update 8/2 – The Economist Cover Strikes Again!
The most recent Economist cover highlights emerging market struggles. Again, check out the post in the link above for an explanation on why magazine covers are useful contrarian covers but the bottom line here is that EM (I’ll dig into EM equities and FX more in the coming days) is ‘sold out’.
Market Update 7/29 – GBPUSD Reversal Watch
GBPUSD hasn’t quite reached 1.4000 (high today was 1.3982) but the upper parallel was reached. I am on reversal watch in Cable right now…especially given bearish seasonal tendencies over the next few weeks (see below).
Market Update 7/28 – Levels for USD Support
7415 has been discussed in these pages for months. That level is now reinforced by the 20 day average and a short term trendline. Also, the rally from the low would consist of 2 equal legs at .7427. If a strong downtrend is underway, then .7415/30 (or so) should provide resistance. The chart below shows price with a rolling 20 day midpoint. Notice how the 20 day midpoint acts as support or resistance during strong trends.
Market Update 7/27 – European FX Levels Pre-FOMC
Focus remains higher for EURUSD following today’s hold. In fact, price pulled back to noted support and immediately turned higher. FOMC is tomorrow. The only reason I mention that is because of the potential for increased volatility. Even if you told me what Powell would say tomorrow, it wouldn’t matter. Only the reaction matters! Bottom line, price has held support (for now at least) so I’m looking higher towards the well-defined 1.1950/90 zone.
