Gold - Long Term Trendline

Daytrader21 Updated 9 Mar.  in #Trader's blog #Business Cycle #Gold #Emerging Markets #Us Dollar #Trend Line #Deflation #Bearish Seasonality

Gold was trading to the downside quite nicely over the last few weeks, after we managed to put in place a top around $1300 level, this level was suggested as a possible top on my last update about Gold which you can find it here: Gold Down- Channel
Despite all the geopolitical tension, the Greece debt crisis, ECB QE programme and many other factors, Gold couldn't find a bid in the market and that's reason enough to conclude that the current bearish trend is still reinforcing itself and Gold is …

Emerging Markets, Follow the Hot Money

Clash of the Titans - BOE vs ECB

Daytrader21 Posted 6 Feb.  in #Trader's blog #Ecb #Boe #GBP/USD #EUR/USD #Emerging Markets #Interest Rates
Today we have both BOE and ECB rate decision which should bring a lot of volatility to the market. When it comes to raise in interest rates BOE appears to be more hawkish than any other Central Bank as the forward guidance target for the unemployment figures are forecast to be reached in early 2015.
It's all about CB's forward guidance here and what message will be sent to the market.
Fundamentally speaking, UK is set to grow faster than any other Western economy. This year the economic data wh…
