We see a morning star pattern indicating a bit of a correction for the decline in the USD. This is confirmed by a green triangle in the Kovach Reversals Indicator. USDJPY has been pushing the lower bound of this indicator for some time, so a retracement was inevitable. Although we can expect this to continue, overall, a dovish Fed and weak US inflation data...
The FOMC minutes had an extremely dovish tone today. This will further boost the selloff in USD across all majors. Particularly notable is USDJPY, and EURUSD. Both Kovach Momentum Indicators are solidly bearish, and the price action continues to push the lower band of the Kovach Reversals Indicator. Sell any rallies in USD. If you like the Kovach Momentum...
The FOMC minutes are being released as I write this, but weak inflation seems to one of their key concerns. Expect the yield curve to continue to flatten as this gets priced into the long end. The spread between the US 30 year and Us 2 year has been careening off a cliff lately and given this news, it is safe to expect this trend to continue. The Kovach Chande...
The yield curve (spread between the 30 year and 2 year spread) just broke below 1%. All indicators suggest this trend to continue. It has been encroaching the lower Bollinger Band of the Kovach Reversals Indicator, with no retracement in sight. A retracement will be confirmed by a green triangle, if an when it happens. The Federal reserve should be very ...
// If you honestly believe cryptos growth wasn't anything other than to bring forth a cashless society governed by the world banks / you thought they just would go down without a fight... I hope u truly start "reading the history books" But hey, don't listen to me, go all in and don't forget to also invest in those 1300 not at all similar crypto coins. Bubbles...
Early June we shared an idea on EURAUD short term downside towards 1.4732 area (). After hitting that area and completing the short term correction, we are now expecting price to move higher towards 1.5230 area to complete the overall 5-wave structure. Here are some reasons for me to have a bullish bias on EURAUD - 1) Price development on daily timeframe is...
RIPPLE XRP possible double top. Be very careful when you see a partial Bat!
U.S. investors brace for mounting political risks as they decode Trump Quote: Barry James built up his $4 billion mutual fund largely by studying balance sheets, earnings and market share. In the last few weeks, however, he has realized that he must look at a new force in the market: U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump's unpredictable governing style and...
This is a daily NZD/USD chart. Later today we have key New Zealand Q4 CPI data and comments from RBNZ Governor Wheeler. Both releases are likely to provide volatility so it would be wise to cover open positions and avoid opening positions around the time of the data and speech (21:45 GMT and 23:00 GMT). Data from New Zealand has been mostly positive since the last...
Pretty self explanatory, shaded areas are where I think price will turn, based on unfilled orders existing right outside those candles. I'm particularly convinced by Jim Rickards(youtu.be), who argues that gold will go through a severe re-pricing whenever the relentless expansion of central bank balance sheets overwhelms the low-yield, deflation-biased economy...
Fed Dudley was speaking At A joint New York Fed, Indonesian Central Bank Seminar On Sunday evening when he left a mixed impression for the markets to digest - saying "it is premature to rule out an interest-rate increase this year" but then on the contrary saying "Raising Rates Prematurely Would Be Riskier Than Moving Slightly Too Late" and following up that...
End of the bull run Global Equity Indexes: 1. SPX/ Global Equity indexes in the past 2/3wks saw a post-brexit central bank easing induced rally, as many CB released dovish statements following the vote which spurred investor confidence in fresh easing. - IMO much of the bull run was based on BOJ easing hopes, given the size of the economy (4th largest)...
BOJ Miss: 1. BOJ deliver one of the biggest misses in history (vs expectations/ pressure) - only increasing ETF purchases and dollar funding by apprx $60bn annual in total vs 10-20bps of Depo and LSP cuts + 5-20trn in QE increase + ETF increase. *See attached post for in-depth detail on the BOJ situation and price action history/ Yen strength/ Safe havens* ...
Another argument for the BOJ outperform case - Post BOJ Buy $Yen @MRKT 111tp: 1. We know BOJ and JPY Govt Abe/ Aso have had many meetings post-brexit and as it follows the JPY Govt have announced today that they will deliver a fiscal stimulus package of 28trn - which was to the very right of the curve (10-30 was talked about). - This in mind, imo it is...
EUR/USD pair is trading around 1.10 handle a few hours away from the FOMC rate decision. No one expects the Fed to hike rates today, but experts believe the Fed is way behind the curve and is under pressure to acknowledge the improvement in the data. Marc Ostwald, Strategist at ADMISI discussed Fed preview in detail on our Finance show today. The show is...
Draghi takes center stage 45 minutes after the European Central Bank releases its latest monetary policy statement later today. Almost no one in the markets expect the ECB to move rates today. London city experts on our today’s London open finance show are quite confident that ECB would remain on a wait and watch mode, while Draghi as usual may make an attempt to...
On the margin RBA remained in line with previous meetings, adding little but still keeping it on the dovish side imo. Once again, as in previous minutes (and from several other central banks) RBA continued to communicate the necessity of "watching key data" to drive future policy decisions. Interestingly though, they also mentioned the negative impact of a strong...
