NAS100 Upbeat after Fed Volatility & Ahead of AppleThe tech-heavy index exhibited two-way action on Wednesday as markets reacted to the Fed outcome. The central bank acknowledged the lack of progress towards the 2% inflation target and Chair Powell added that recent hot reports have not given officials greater confidence towards this goal. Along with resilient labor market and strong economy, the bar for a pivot is high and markets have pared down their expectations, now pricing in just one cut this year, likely in the last quarter. These factors weigh on NAS100, which has moved below the EMA200 and the daily Ichimoku Cloud. It is vulnerable to the 38.2% Fibonacci of the October-March advance, but strong catalyst would be required for deeper correction. On the other hand, NAS100 is upbeat today and has already defended the aforementioned crucial level. It has the opportunity to return above the EMA200, reestablish the bullish momentum and pursue new record highs (18,495). Creeping fears of potential backtrack to rate hikes were assuaged, as Chair dismissed them, along with concerns of stagflation, following some weak economic data. Markets now turn to Friday’s employment data and another strong print would reinforce the higher-for-longer prospects. Investors also await Apple’s earning on the Thursday, which come at challenging period and the stock is close to bear territory.

Aussie Weakness? - Ichimoku AUD/USD Sell TradeThis is one of my favorite types of setups. We've had a kumo breakout and broken a major price structure level. Typically when this happens we get a re-test of that level before falling further. That's exactly what we're looking for here. I want to see a drawback and rejection at that level with a bearish trend continuation move. If we don't get the move all the way back up we can also look for a move below our current candle as an alternative sell stop style entry. If we fail to play out either of those scenarios, this setup may become invalidated.

AUD/USD strong reversal Long positionHello traders I felt sorry about I haven't updated anything because I moved my eyes on my teaching in Google Classroom. This is my first analysis in this new year 2019. I believed many of you, like me caught this opportunity of any AUD pairs yesterday. Although this analysis came a bit late, nevermind, we are looking for the TP levels. Everyone can spot a very long tail of low test bar. It indicates a large number of buyers that came into the market to support the green zone which is a demand zone whether in a weekly / monthly chart ages ago. A confirmation bullish candlestick breakthrough the strong valid trendline and now closed high at 20 EMA. There is a little challenge coming up ... the S/R zone = Fib Ret level 61.8%. On the other hand, ichimoku tells us that a strong resistance level that the kinjun-sen formed in Oct 2018 and the base of the green cloud. The black dash line tells the same story that 0.7178 is technical resistance. Summary: The crossovers of a few indicators haven't occurred yet, such as Crossovers: MACD and 8 & 20 EMA and Tenkan-sen & Kinjun-sen. There is still a question if any retracement occurred in the next day. For those who have no positions: Wait if the market breakthrough S/R level, or wait for retracement back to the red downward trend line to take another leap. For those who have positions: Watch carefully, your target is near 0.7320 Thanks for reading. Happy new year ! May this year bring new happiness, goals, achievements and a lot of new inspiration for your life.

Confirmative line Chikou Span is crossing the price chart from below, current cloud is descending. Instrument is trading below Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines; bearish trend is still strong. One of the previous minimums of Chikou Span expected to be a support level (100.50). The closest resistance level is Kijun-sen line (103.50).

USD/CAD - Hell For Leather Through The ResistanceDear Community, today a hot candidate who was on our list for a long time; USD/CAD. It looks like the resistance has been broken - eventually and we are (hopefully) going hell for leather direction our fist intermediate target at 1.3576. Here it will be decided if the run continues towards intermediate target #2 (1.3833) and finally the ultimate target at 1.4691. Given the current circumstances ... It would be considered to be a highly speculative long entry, given the fact that the resistance didn't give in for quite some time. A possible scenario could be that traders, who are looking on the long side of things, get fooled into the market by jumping in too early. Two ways of getting the job done Option number one is to take the risk and hope for the best. If the pair reaches the ultimate target one would definitely walk away with some nice profit. Option number two would be to wait and see. Best scenario would be that the price comes back, confirms the former resistance as a support and continues the climb towards the first intermediate target. And this is exactly what we are going to do; no need to take any unnecessary risk, given the fact that we already jumped the gun on our silver trade. Therefore, we are holding back for now. Trader who'd like to give it punt can use our analysis as a start and build on it. We will pick this idea up, once we think it will fit in our portfolio.

Silver Take Three - And Action!Dear Community, today we are presenting you a pretty nice buy setup for Silver, which, in all fairness looks quite promising. However, this is the third take on Silver so we emphasize that there is a chance that we won't get it right this time either - but, third time lucky as they say! Strong Reversal In A Bulish Market The direction has been bullish all the way, so we were looking for a convenient moment to buy. As we mentioned in the beginning, this is the third take so the first two didn't hit at all. It was just too early! However, with a working money management/risk management in place a few losing trades shouldn't make a huge dent. So, this time we are looking at a very strong bullish reversal in a bullish market. We therefore assume, quite obviously, that Scotty might beam us up pretty soon to new highs at around $22.00. Two Setups There are two possible setups that fit in quite well. A conservative and an aggressive approach. We are following the more aggressive one as the chance/risk ratio just does it for us. More laid back traders should look into the conservative alternative as we think there is definitely something to take from this trade. Note: We have opened a Silver long position with a SL at $19.00 and a target at $22.00 Good luck everyone!
