  • What Crude Oil’s Ratios Are Saying About Future Moves?

    November 6, 2014, 5:35 PM

    Without a doubt, Oct was the worst month for oil bulls since May 2012. In the previous month, the commodity lost over 11% as the combination of a stronger greenback, rising supplies and weaker demand weighted on the price. Additionally, the first days of the new month have been very negative for oil investors. After the breakdown below the psychologically important barrier of $80, oil bears pushed the price lower and light crude hit a four-year low of $75.84, breaking under long-term support lines. In this way, the commodity posted its sixth weekly loss in a row. Will light crude drop any further in the near future? Is it possible that crude oil’s ratios will give us some interesting clues?

    November 4, 2014, 2:57 PM

    November 4, 2014, 11:56 AM

    We saw appreciation yesterday but the move was reversed and Bitcoin closed the day close to where it had started it. Today there's also been appreciation. Does this mean that the slump is over?

  • Gold and U.S. Dollar

    November 4, 2014, 1:38 AM

    Many analysts attribute the gold’s recent weak performance to the strengthening of the US dollar. Are they right? The impact of currency exchange rates on the gold market has strong theoretical and empirical grounds, but how in practice is the greenback related to gold? In this essay we not only explain this important relationship, but also analyze the recent strengthening of the dollar and we provide the outlook for it and gold.

  • Gold Price in November 2014

    November 3, 2014, 10:41 AM

    Gold, silver and mining stocks plunged heavily last week. We saw major events such as breakdowns and we saw some key levels being reached. The miners’ slide, and the silver’s and gold’s breakdowns were widely commented, but there are additional developments in the ratios that investors and traders need to consider at the moment. In today's huge (over 2200 words and 10 charts) alert we discuss the critical juncture at which the precious metals market is at the moment and we cover the events that took place in key ratios: the gold stocks to gold ratio which moved to its 2000 low (if you recall, that's one of the things that we expected to see at THE bottom), silver to gold ratio, Dow to gold ratio, and also 2 ratios that very few people follow.

  • Oil Trading Alert: Crude Oil – Time For Rebound?

    November 3, 2014, 10:33 AM

    On Friday, crude oil lost 0.39% as stronger U.S. dollar weighed on the price. Although the price slipped below the very short-term support and the key level of $80 once again, the commodity rebounded in the following hours. Does it mean that investor sentiment is improving and we could see a bigger upward move in the near future?

  • Stock Trading Alert: Indexes At Record Highs Following Economic Data Announcements

    November 3, 2014, 10:32 AM

  • Bitcoin Trading Alert: More Weakness in Bitcoin

    October 31, 2014, 12:59 PM

    There was appreciation yesterday and the price was even pushed above $350 for a time, before declining back below this level at the end of the day. The volume was elevated and this made the action yesterday well-worth noting. The failed move above $350 could be indicative of a lack of strength. Is it, in our opinion?

  • Forex Trading Alert: EUR/USD – Double Bottom Or New Lows?

    October 30, 2014, 3:50 PM

    Yesterday, the U.S. dollar strengthened against other major currency pairs after the Fed said it would end its monthly bond-buying program but keep rates near zero for "considerable time". As a result, EUR/USD declined below the medium-term resistance zone, which triggered a sharp decline to slightly above the recent lows. Will they withstand the selling pressure and we’ll see a double bottom in the coming days?

    October 30, 2014, 7:39 AM
