US Dollar Breaks Out / Currencies / US Dollar
By: The_Gold_Report
Technical analyst Clive Maund discusses the outlook for the dollar, euro and precious metals sector after the predicted major dollar breakout occurs. Yesterday saw one of our most important predictions become reality—the dollar broke decisively out of its Head-and-Shoulders bottom. We can clearly see this breakout on the latest 6-month chart for the U.S. dollar index shown below. Fundamental reasons for this are believed to include the current (weak) trend to higher rates in the U.S., and perhaps more importantly, the euro starting to unravel if Catalonia succeeds in its push for independence from Spain. Whatever, this chart says the dollar index is going to advance to our target in the 97 area.

British Pound Could See Declines / Currencies / British Pound
By: Richard_Cox
Market activity in the GBP/USD has shown some interesting trends over the last several quarters and now that the Bank of England has delivered on its expected rate increase it remains to be seen if these moves can still continue. In most cases, when a central bank decides to raise their lending rates markets will experience an upward surge in the trading value of that currency. But while we have seen some bullish activity in the British Pound, there is scope for further downside if broader financial volatility increases next week.

Basics about forex trade and the foreign exchange market / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Kavinesh_A
What is Forex Market?
The foreign exchange market is a vast marketplace where currencies are traded. Currencies and exchanging them with another currency hold prime importance around the world. Be it for travel, education, business or any other purpose, we need to relocate to a different country and need to exchange our currencies to the equivalent amount of local currency. As for example, if you are French on a tour to India, you can’t pay for food or conveyance in euros as they are not accepted. You need to seek help from a broker or an agent who exchanges your euros to the equivalent amount of Indian rupee that you can spend. The same theory is applicable all across the world. So, there are firms who provide a platform to the traders to buy or sell foreign currencies at the current exchange rates. This is where Forex tirdzniecība comes into existence.

Bitcoin Might Test All-time High / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
Is Bitcoin in bubble territory? Certainly, the price pattern this year looks like an exponential one, at least locally, but there are also opposing views. In an article on CNBC, we read:
[William] Bernstein is a neurologist who began writing about investing in the 1990s, soon becoming a best-selling author and drawing the admiration of legends such as Vanguard's Jack Bogle for his clear and rational analysis. He is best known for books such as "The Intelligent Asset Allocator" and "The Four Pillars of Investing" that show independent investors how to manage their money for the long term. He is currently retired as a doctor, but co-principal at Efficient Frontier Advisors, a money management firm for the very wealthy.

Apple Legend Steve Wozniak Says Bitcoin Is Better Than The Phony US Dollar / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
We’ve had a seemingly never-ending parade of crony capitalists, bankers, and politicians calling bitcoin everything from a “fraud” to “Enron” to “junk.”
Yesterday, though, a big name came out on the side of bitcoin. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple.
Notice that while people like JP Morgan’s Jamie Demon and Mastercard CEO, Ajay Banga, have never actually created any real wealth in their lives, Wozniak played a very crucial role in the development of personal computers which has led to the internet… which led to bitcoin… which has created massive amounts of wealth and freedom for the world.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, How To Trade Cryptos Safely / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Avi_Gilburt
In our previous article, we briefly described, in layman’s terms, the technology underlying cryptocurrency. Then we described how to get started with your first cryptocurrency purchase. In this article we want to characterize the crypto trade so you can begin a journey toward successful trading. Cryptocurrency is a very volatile asset and perhaps the most volatile asset we have seen. We expect it to remain this way for some time.
On any given day, we might see certain cryptos move 100% or more. 10% moves in small cap coin are quite pedestrian. 3-5% daily moves in the larger coins are common. Therefore, the returns, both positive and negative, outstrip the stock market by many fold.
