DXY: “The Reports Of My Death Are Greatly Exaggerated” / Currencies / US Dollar
For those literary enthusiasts amongst us, you would recognize the title as the line supposedly penned by Mark Twain when it was inquired of him while in London regarding a published obituary written in the United States.
However, more accurately, his response to the reporter’s inquiry was “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” But, I digress.

Elliott Wave Analysis: Suggest Supported NZDUSD / Currencies / Forex Trading
NZDUSD short-term Elliott wave analysis suggests that a decline to 0.6751 low ended primary wave ((2)) pullback.

Will AUDUSD Rally Higher? / Currencies / Austrailia
AUDUSD Technical Analysis
AUDUSD BUY/LONG Trade Setup: October 26/2018 AUDUSD found a bottom and bounced higher. The bounce higher has formed a bullish Elliott Wave Impulse Pattern. The current wave count higher can now be seen as a five wave move with red wave 1 terminating at the high of November 16/2018. The pair corrected lower and terminated wave red 2 at the November 27/2018 low which was then followed by a five wave move higher to terminate wave ((i)) at the November 29/2018 high. If looking to trade AUDUSD, traders will need to watch and wait for a pullback lower towards the blue BUY ZONE and watch for the possible termination of wave ((ii)) in that preferred area. Watch for buying signals and a reversal in the blue box BUY ZONE and expect a rally higher for the strong red wave 3.

How the Bitcoin Bubble Burst Could Lead to a New Golden Era / Currencies / Bitcoin
One of the greatest asset bubbles of all time appears to have just burst.
It’s not the stock market. Despite recent downside volatility amidst bubble-like valuations, so far stocks have merely entered a correction.
Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, have entered into a full-blown meltdown. Bitcoin will go down in history for its extraordinary rise from zero to a high of $19,783 on December 17, 2017. Its subsequent fall may be one for the history books as well.

Dollar Trend Imposes: EURUSD to Fall to 1.11 / Currencies / Forex Trading
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 100 points after a White House official left open the possibility of a trade breakthrough between the U.S. and China later this week. Shares of companies that pay hefty dividends and tend to generate stable profits in challenging economic conditions, such as consumer staples like Walgreens Boots Alliance and health-care companies like Johnson & Johnson , rose throughout the session, helping the blue-chip index overcome a roughly 224-point pullback earlier in the day.
Stocks are off to a good start to the post Thanksgiving trading week. And they have at least three things working in their favor. One is the proximity to their late October low. The other is a short-term oversold condition. The third is seasonal support.

Gold, Original Money, Fiat Money / Currencies / Fiat Currency
The first gold coins appeared around 560 B.C. Over time it became a practice to store larger amounts of gold in warehouses. Paper receipts were issued certifying that the gold was on deposit. These receipts were negotiable instruments of trade and commerce which could be signed over to others. They were not actual currency but are a presumed forerunner to our modern checking system.
Gold is original money. It was money before paper receipts were issued. The paper receipts were not money. They were substitutes for real money. Today, all paper currencies are substitutes for real money.

Bitcoin Crashes Over 50% From Recent Highs / Currencies / Bitcoin
Crypto enthusiasts were crushed over the Thanksgiving holiday when a fight over Bitcoin Cash and very thin liquidity prompted a massive price breakdown from recent highs. This downside move reflects a true price breakdown where Bitcoin bulls have to rethink their future strategies.
Back in October 2018, we warned that price MUST rally above the support level near $6986 in order for any future upside advance to take hold. The following week, we saw a massive price rally that lasted only a few hours and trailed off back below the $6986 support level. While we waited to see if any future price move would prompt a rally above this level, the Bitcoin price levels continued to congest.

Advice to make it as a professional in the forex market / Currencies / Forex Trading
The forex market is perhaps one of the most misunderstood markets out there. It’s seen only ever in its simplest form by many holidaymakers and travellers, while for newbie retail investors, it’s sometimes thought of as either too volatile or too complicated. For technical analysts, the heavy focus that many forex publications place on fundamental analysis points such as interest rate rises can seem too much.

One Direction More Likely for Bitcoin Price / Currencies / Bitcoin
The recent period of sideways trading may make traders impatient or even discouraged altogether. At any rate, those who crave more action in Bitcoin could be driven out of the market. But this is no time to bet on Bitcoin staying docile.
If the recent months haven’t exactly been rosy for Bitcoin traders, there are avenues which might offer more optimistic news. Unlikely avenues, perhaps. A report by Morgan Stanley suggests that Bitcoin might have become an asset class for institutional investors. In an article on CoinDesk, we read:
Institutional investors are increasingly getting involved in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies – while the number of retail investors in the space is staying stagnant – according to a new report by Morgan Stanley.

In Search of a Bearish Bitcoin Trigger / Currencies / Bitcoin
A large asset manager has decided to offer Bitcoin trading to its institutional investors. Bitcoin shot up around the announcement but reversed course and erased most of the move up. The currency has stayed subdued since. This could mean that the market is getting boring. It could also mean that investors and traders are taking a breather before a more decisive move.
Traditional asset managers are not necessarily averse to Bitcoin. It turns out that Fidelity Investments, one of the largest asset managers in the world, is interested in providing hedge funds with access to the Bitcoin market. In an article on the Wall Street Journal website, we read:
Fidelity Investments said it will store and trade bitcoin for hedge funds and other professional investors, becoming one of the first Wall Street giants to step into this volatile corner of the financial world.

Bitcoin Trend Analysis 2018 / Currencies / Bitcoin
Here's my latest update on the prospects for the Bitcoin price for the remainder of 2018 and beyond.
But firstly a recap of my forecast for 2018 which I published when the crypto was trading at USD 14,000, warning that the Bitcoin price was likely to continue crashing lower towards $5,000, a forecast that at the time was met with much denial from the bitcoin community that appeared to have pinned their hopes on the crypto revisiting $20k.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis / Currencies / Bitcoin
Pattern – the downtrend since the spike high looks to have slowed to crawl and I believe it can continue to drift lower.
Fibonacci – price has been making its way through the angles which is some consolation for the bulls. After trading a bit further down I believe price can rally and eventually crack above the 88.6% angle which may provide some temporary resistance.

US Dollar Engulfing Bearish Pattern Warns Of Dollar Weakness / Currencies / US Dollar
A unique setup has occurred in the UUP (Invesco DB US Dollar Index) that resembles an Engulfing Bearish type of pattern (even though it is not technically an Engulfing Bearish pattern). Technically, an Engulfing Bearish pattern should consist of a green candle followed by a larger red candle whereas the red candle’s body (the open to close range) completely engulfs the previous candle’s body. In the instance we are highlighting in this article, a unique variation of what we’ll call a “Completely Filled Engulfing Bearish” pattern is setting up.
