Resolve Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 LTC and EOS – Consolidation now expected but further decline still a possibility LTC/USD The price of Litecoin has been on a decline from yesterday’s high of $391 made a decrease of 21.8% as it fell to $306.35 at its lowest point today. It spiked further down buy managed to snap back quickly and is currently being traded at $313.69. Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that this downfall was the continuation of the descending move from Monday when the price reached $411 at its highest. This was most likely the end of the higher degree 3rd wave from the impulse wave that started at the start of the year. If so, we are now seeing the 4th wave of the same degree developing to the downside. Measured from its last increase from the 26th of April the price fell down to the 0.5 Fib level and found support there. But this only might be a temporary hold before further downside continuation. We could have seen the completion of the ABC correction in which case now we are to see the start of the next 5th wave to the upside, but there isn’t still any signs of the buyers entering the market. If we are to see the start of the next impulsive move strong confirmation would be needed. Read Full on FXOpen Company Blog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolve Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 US April Inflation – Four Times Higher Than Market Expectations Last Wednesday, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the United States showed that inflation runs hot in the largest economy in the world. On expectations of an increase of 0.2% on a monthly basis, the headline CPI came out four times higher. Moreover, the Core CPI, which tracks the changes in the price of goods and services over a period, without accounting for food and energy, was three times higher in April than the market expected. As such, inflation is running hot in America, and the whole world is watching. [ A Comparison With the 1970s Back in the 1970s, inflation in America was printing double-digits on a monthly basis. The Fed fought a long battle to bring inflation down, mainly by raising the interest rates on the world’s reserve currency. This was a problematic thing to do at the time, because the US just gave up the gold standard. In other words, for the world to still trust the dollar without gold backing, the Fed stepped in and offered a higher interest rate. Fast forward to our times, and the Fed is unlikely to do the same despite rising inflation, for several reasons. First, the Fed changed its inflation mandate last year. We should mention here that the Fed has a dual mandate – price stability and job creation. For the first part of its mandate, it used an inflation-targeting framework for decades. Its aim was to create inflation close to the 2% target. This is similar to what other central banks in the world use, like the ECB, which aims at inflation below, but close to 2%. But the Fed chose to change the inflation-targeting framework last year. It announced that it no longer considers price stability at 2% inflation, but around 2% inflation. More precisely, the Fed averages inflation for a period, aiming at 2%. The problem is that the period considered is unknown to the market participants. In April this year, inflation exceeded the Fed’s 2% by a mile, if we consider the annualized data. Yet, the Fed says that the data is transitory. Indeed, if we average inflation for the past six or twelve-month, the result is way below the 2% level. Hence, the Fed is right in adopting a wait-and-see approach. Yet, more money is in the pipeline. The chart above shows the US Treasury cash balance at the Federal Reserve. Effectively, this is money held at the Fed, used by the US government to finance various projects or to support its fiscal expansion policy. Close to a trillion dollars are still available to be deployed into the US economy. Therefore, inflation is likely to run even higher in the months ahead. The question, at this point, is how much higher will inflation go, without the Fed to intervene? Also, how will the financial markets react? The initial reaction to the higher inflation data last Wednesday showed weakness in the US equity markets. But that weakness reversed in the following two trading days, as the main stock indices recovered most of the lost ground in the two days left in the trading week. However, if we use the 1970s as a benchmark, higher inflation triggers an equity bear market. Will we see one in 2021? FXOpen Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolve Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 BTC and XRP – Further downside looks more likely BTC/USD The price of Bitcoin has been on a decline since the 10th of May when it reached a high of $59,512. From there we have seen a decrease of 29.3% so far as it fell down to $42,180 at its lowest point. It is currently retesting those low levels for support and it appears to have stabilized as it made another attempt to continue its downward trajectory but bounced off of the low levels. Now it is moving slightly to the upside and is being traded at $44,923. Looking at the hourly chart above, we can see that this down move from the 10th is the continuation of the decrease that started from the 14th of April after the price reached a new all-time high. As it is most likely the 3rd sub-wave of the corrective ABC this could mean that the descending move has ended on the current interaction with the significant horizontal support zone. However, if this is the 4th wave of the cycle degree the correction might get deeper and prolonged. In this case, these first three waves could be prolonged by another two more either as the WXYXZ complex correction or in the worst-case scenario a five-wave impulse that would only be the 1st sub-wave of the higher degree ABC. We are shortly going to see from the expected upward move and the following pullback which scenario could be more likely but for now the primary one is that the downfall could have ended as the ABC move.

Resolve Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 LTC and EOS – Have we seen the completion of the downfall? LTC/USD The price of Litecoin has been on a decline since the 10th of May when it reached $413 at its highest point. From there we have seen a decrease of 64.88% as it fell to $145 at its lowest point yesterday. We have seen a recovery taking place with the price currently being traded at $211 and is still in an upward trajectory. On the hourly chart, you can see that the price has made a lower low today, compared to yesterday’s candle close, and is now still above yesterday’s high. This is still a negative sign even though recovery has been seen. We could bee saw the 4th corrective wave out of the five-wave impulse to the downside from the 16th which is still in development. If this is true then the price would be headed downwards after this increase ends for another establishment of support around the $165 area. In another move positive scenario the decrease ended with today’s recovery being the 1st sub-wave of the next five-wave impulse to the upside. Even so a retracement would be expected and first a surpassing of yesterday’s high so for the pullback that is expected to follow we can evaluate these possibilities.

Resolve Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Cryptocurrencies Tumble in April – What Comes Next? Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency market took another tumble. Bitcoin fell more than 10% and tested the $32k level before bouncing. Also, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies have lost more, with most of the coins down over 50% in April. It all started with Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, tweeting at the start of the trading month that the company will not accept Bitcoin as payment for the purchasing of its electric vehicles. As such, Bitcoin collapsed, and other digital assets followed the same path. Is It the First Time When Bitcoin Drops That Much? A quick check at the Bitcoin’s price history reveals that such a drop is actually part of the way the asset moves. Throughout history, Bitcoin lost over 80% of its value three times – in 2013, 2016, and 2018. Some other times, it frequently lost more than 40% of its value. Yet, Bitcoin did found its way out of it, although the volatility is not for the everyone. If we look at what happened in May so far, Bitcoin’s price corrected from over $60k close to $30k. That is a drop of 50% in less than a month. This is a problem not only for the crypto assets but for traditional financial assets too. One must remember how Bitcoin’s adoption has increased among institutional investors lately, and such a drop may end up posing a systemic risk to markets. It did not, so far, as the equity markets remain stable. However, the declines in some crypto assets are so steep that institutional investors that adopted crypto have some explaining to do to their clients. All in all, the move lower in Bitcoin is not unusual if we check historical prices. The only thing that is different at this point is that the move lower does not affect only retail traders anymore but also institutional investors. If the bearish market continues, the risk of seeing some spillovers in the traditional markets increases exponentially. FXOpen Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolve Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 BTC and XRP – Starting impulse to the upside likely developing BTC/USD The price of Bitcoin has recovered significantly from Sunday’s low of around $32,000 as it made an increase of 27% measured to its highest point today at $39.723. Since then we have seen a minor pullback with the price currently being traded at $37,896 and moving to the downside again. On the hourly chart, you can see that the price made a five-wave increase from Sunday and came slightly above the significant horizontal level that served as support now turned resistance. This is why the price struggled to keep up its upward trajectory and is now headed to the downside again. From Sunday we have most likely seen the start of the next move to the upside as the corrective ABC of the highest degree ended. If this is true, then we are now seeing the first sub-wave of the next five-wave impulse coming to completion as is why the currently seen downside move would be expected to continue pushing the price further down. That would be expected to develop as the 2nd sub-wave of the higher degree count and it should now form a higher low compared to Sunday’s one, potentially around $36,000 where the next horizontal support is in line. But from there further upside movement would be expected and a breakout above the $42,000 horizontal zone. Read Full on FXOpen Company Blog...

Resolve Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 LTC and EOS – At key turning point LTC/USD The price of Litecoin has been on the rise since the 23rd when it fell down to $128.32 at its lowest point. From there we have seen an increase of 58% measured to its highest point yesterday at around $203. Since then a minor pullback was made but the price is once again in an upward trajectory and is currently being traded at $196.3. On the hourly chart, you can see that from the 23rd of May we have seen an impulsive five-wave move after which the price started consolidating. It did so in a three-wave manner which is most likely the 2nd sub-wave of the next higher degree impulse to the upside. We have seen the completion of a 3-3-5 move with a higher low made today compared to the one on the 25th as the first pullback which validated that the support is getting higher and that buyers are stepping in. If this was a running flat correction that ended now today we have seen the start of the next wave to the upside which is set to exceed the high on the 25th and propel the price much stronger potentially to the territory of the 0.5 Fib level at around $264.65. But if this is the five-wave impulse of the higher degree it should continue moving to the upside beyond that point after another pullback on the 4th wave. Read Full on FXOpen Company Blog...

Resolve Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Gold Breaks Above $1,900 On Inflation Fears Gold has long played an important role in financial markets. It is the only form of money that survived for millenniums, and investment managers value it as a hedge against inflation. Inflation is on everyone´s lips nowadays. In April, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the United States has grown at the fastest pace since 1981. Both the core and the headline CPI are poised to rise further in the summer, as the US government and the Fed keep the accommodative measures. Last week, the Personal Core Expenditure (PCE) in the United States rose by 0.7% on expectations of 0.6% and following 0.4% in the previous month. The upbeat data is important because the PCE measures the change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers, without counting for energy and food prices, considered too volatile. Also, the PCE is the Fed´s favored way of measuring inflation, and the rise fuels expectations of higher inflation in the months ahead. Two Different Recessions A quick comparison of the two last recessions reveals that the CPI had a different path. For example, in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 Great Financial Crisis, inflation fell below zero. In other words, deflation gripped the world´s developed economies, or at least it threatened to do so. However, it is not the case during the current recession. Instead of falling, inflation is poised to rise further. The Fed in the United States has anticipated higher inflation already since August last year. During the Jackson Hole symposium in 2020, the Fed changed its mandate from targeting 2% to averaging 2% over a certain period. Higher inflation typically triggers higher gold prices. Only that the price of gold tumbled since last summer, falling from a record high above $2,000 to below $1,700. At the same time, the US dollar continued to weaken, losing ground against its G10 peers. But the price of gold recovered from its recent lows and now threatens to break to a new all-time high. If the trend in inflation seen in April is set to continue, the bullish trend in the price of gold is likely to continue as well. Now that the cryptocurrency market lost more than half of its value, as seen by the price of Bitcoin falling by 50% in a couple of weeks, investors seem to favor gold again as a hedge against inflation. If that is the case, the recent rise in the price of gold is just the start of an attempt at a new all-time high. The higher the CPI rises, the bigger the share investors will allocate to gold.

We have seen the start of the recovery from the 23rd when it fell all the way down to $127 and even lower on the wick to the downside. This is why the recovery seen from there could be the start of the next impulsive move to the upside that is now going to develop in a five-wave manner. On the other hand, this could be another corrective stage with the price making some kind of an ABC correction after further downtrend continuation. In the first case, we could see a breakout from the currently formed rising flat triangle on the upside which would validate the possibility of the upward momentum. But if the ascending trendline breaks out to the downside it could be an early indication that the price is headed further down below its lowest levels this year. EOS/USD The price of EOS has been moving sideways from the 30th of May when it fell to $5.5 area from its high of $7.52. Since then it has recovered to $6.67 at its highest point today but is now sitting again lower as it encountered resistance. On the hourly chart, you can see that the price has formed a sideways range from the 30th with slight ascending levels. This could be the start of the next impulsive move as a leading diagonal or it could be the 2nd sub-wave of the next move to the downside which is still unclear. This is why it would be safe to say that a breakout beyond its outline levels could provide an early indication of where the price is headed further. If the price continues increasing and manages to go above the resistance levels this could meant that the price is headed further up, but if its support gets broken we could see further downtrend continuation.

Resolve Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Weak US Dollar Ahead of Critical Inflation Data The US dollar reacted strongly to the June NFP report released last Friday and declined across the board. The US economy added fewer than expected jobs in May, but the unemployment rate declined to 5.8%. The reaction in the dollar may have come as a result of traders and other market participants preparing for the inflation data later this week. On Thursday, right when the European Central Bank is presenting its June decision, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the United States is released. Rising Inflation – Bullish or Bearish for the US Dollar One month ago, the US dollar declined on the CPI release. The April headline and core inflation data showed rising prices, and the dollar took a dive. However, dollar bears should keep in mind two things. First, it is not the first time in history when higher inflation may lead to a stronger, not a weaker, dollar. A close look at what happened in the 1970s, a period known as one with higher inflation, will show that the dollar may get stronger on rising prices. Second, the core inflation difference between Europe and the United States suggests we may see a stronger dollar in the second half of the year. The core inflation difference leads five months, and so far it correlated perfectly with the EUR/USD exchange rate. More precisely, it points to a much lower EUR/USD than the current levels, something that dollar bears may want to consider. This week, the ECB monetary policy decision will trigger volatility on the euro pairs, but the market participants will also look at the tapering message. Next week it is the Fed’s turn to talk about tapering, and the difference between the two statements will be the driver for the EUR/USD exchange rate.
