Daily Market Review - 1/17/2014

USD/JPY

The pair has plummeted and is not consolidating. Support is seen near 104.20. Most likely the currency is going to rebound from that level, as the aforementioned dip was apparently the correction of the long lasting ascent.

Market Overview

The main currency pair on Thursday was moving reluctantly, though there were enough triggers of activity exacerbation even without inflation release in the USA. Yesterday there were reports released on CPI in Europe and the US.

The first one wasn't a big surprise: December inflation in Europe remained at 0.8%. Basic index showed a monthly growth by 0.3% in the yearly count increasing only by 0.7%.

Daily Market Review - 1/16/2014

US Stock Market

US indices finished the trading day in the green after the World Bank raised the global growth forecast. The Dow Jones rose by 0.66%, the S&P500 by 0.52%, and the NASDAQ added 0.82% to its value. Technically, and according...

British Pound (GBP)

The Pound fell against the US Dollar yesterday. Technically, and according to 4-hour chart, we notice that the GBP/USD has created a Descending Triangle pattern with support at 1.6346 and resistance at 1.6430. Currently, the pair is showing a positive momentum with a strong support level which could push the price higher. But if the GBP/USD fails to breach resistance it may complete the bullish triangle by falling to around 1.6300.

Market Analysis: GOLD 1/15/2014

Bank of America

Bank of America in a research note said it lowered its gold forecast by 11% to ,150 an ounce: "While index rebalancing may support gold until 14th January, we see limited support to prices beyond that. Our continued bearish view is driven by the challenging macro-economic environment, which is best captured by rising US 10-year rates and a persistent lack of inflation pressures."

Barclays

Barclays said in a research note that gold would test 2010 lows during 2014: "Absent a shift in sentiment, we believe risks are skewed to the downside given the potential for hedging; slowing physical demand; and, most important, a macro backdrop of modest growth, fewer tail risks, and a stronger dollar increasing the scope for further disinvestment."

Daily Market Review - 1/15/2014

US Stock Market

US indices finished the trading day with sharp gains as the Core Retail Sales m/m rose and the Financial Statements was published higher than forecast. The Dow Jones rose by 0.71%, the S&P500 by 1.08%, and the NASDAQ added 1.93% to its value. Technically, and according to the 8-hour chart, the Dow Jones hit the 38.20% Fibonacci Retracement but failed to breach it; a strong signal that the index will continue to rise and the momentum remain bullish. The support level is at 16,175 and maintaining this level could push the Dow higher towards 16,400. However, if the Dow Jones breaks this support level, it could continue its drop towards the 50% Fibonacci Retracement at 16,077.

Crude Oil - Short Term

Crude Oil rose yesterday by 1.09% to close around the .65 mark due to the positive momentum in the stocks markets. According to 8-hour chart, oil has strong support at 91.20 and attempted to break this but failed. Oil might test this support again today before the inventories come out. If it fails to break support for a third time, this could open long positions that may send oil towards a barrel in one week. The RSI indicator is at 38, indicating that oil is oversold; a factor that also supports short-term

Carol Eley Turns $130 into $16k in 9 Months

Binary options came into my life through my husband. A few years ago he went through a phase where he fancied himself as a bit of an investor. He bought all sorts of books on the subject, had Bloomberg news on day and night, and eventually settled on binary options as his preferred method of trading. I should probably say here that my husband, like many men of his generation, goes through phases, our house bears the scars of his last foray into the world of D.I.Y (my kitchen is still without a floor).

Anyway he was pretty average at binary options trading. Too impatient, too eager to trade. He didn't lose an awful lot of money but then he never really made anything either. When he finally dropped his trading fad he had about 0 left in his account and I asked him whether I could have a play on it. Being his usual chauvinist self he was dismissive about my prospects as an online day trader. How could a humble housewife understand the intricate complexities of the world's markets better than the master of the house?
