But when long term resistance and support lines are added to the charts, we can see that long term, the euro may continue to go down. Additionally, the Fib lines "confirm" point of support and resistance in both currency. Was the ECB and U.S FED actions this week enough ? time will...

Food for thoughts The VIX is at it's lowest level since 2007 and the DOW is up against the top of a 70 year channel. Dan Greenhaus from BTIG made a nice observation of the VIX . Each time the VIX futures hits 16 % or lower, this is follow by a losing streak in the S&P, see table. He finishes his commentary with this recommendation for the advisers " This is a...
Sounds crazy, but I believe BAC has already bottomed and ready to go up again. Historically, the buy volume at this price level is pretty high. The price is currently above it's 10 month EMA.
