Spike

Smarter than Buffett?"Delta plunges after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway slashes its stake" is the morning's headline following the announcement. As investments I don't know why anyone would want to own airlines. They are too exposed to all kinds of risk... world economic factors, energy, terrorism, and now plagues. But to trade airlines... the contrarian in me combined with a price action alert makes me want to test for an opportunity. Earnings are this week and I do not expect anything they say to help or harm what is already known; that Delta is burning through a whopping $60 million per DAY! So while there is some earnings gap risk I'm going to keep my position small and exploratory. Let's see if this is the double bottom of the Daily.

Trade Ideas Analysis: GBPAUD SpikeisI shorted this repeated pattern on the spike that forms along the uptrend channel. The Bonus of this setup is that my MT4 connecting to the live data detected an ABCD pattern, the black eclipsed on this diagram is amendments to this demo data that this movement didn't occur on my live data. I will watch closely how the price reacts at the bottom trendline of this channel if a break and close below, I will be keeping the trade, but if an indecision candle appears, I may intervene and close this trade.

Actual outcome: Prices broke the @7600.00 target and bulls keep pushing. Actual view: Prices are still subjected to a bull pressure. Odds of a bull trend continuation are high with a possible settle at the resistance zone. Possible targets : @7800.00 (+1000pips or 100points). Advice : Stay bullish and buy at any low point while we don't break the 7500.00 bottom level. Correlated pairs : US500 (96.2%),US30 (94.2%),CHFSGS (-86.5%). We are more likely to experience a continuation of the bull spike as it will be for the other US market securities.

Potential trade setup: EUR/AUD analysisAs previously mentioned EUR/AUD has overextended into the yearly highs price region, even though we should be expecting a retracement price can be easily manipulated around this region especially ahead of a lot of fundamentals data from ECB and AUD policy details out this week that could easily be a key driver in market activity. Awaiting for a potential 3rd drive into the highs before considering additional shorts to the targeted region to bounce off the trendline which is in alignment with the 50% fib line.

If BND Ever Does This Again, Beware29th of November, 2007 - bond market experiences a flash crash which is quickly bought up by the FED in an effort to prevent widespread debt defaults. Worked for a few months only for companies to begin defaulting anyway, probably through a series of realized margin or interest spike risks. This is what caused the financial markets to implode in 2008. Watch and study the bond market, it can tell you more about medium to long-term market direction than any other indicator.

USDCHF Short - Stop Losses Wiped Out, Sellers In ControlI predicted that the price will reach beyond 1.005 before the trend reverses from the 3-month supply zone but definitely not expecting this kind of movement. It is very irresistible from shorting USDCHF whenever it surfaced above 1.00. What probably has made it even more attractive is the double top pattern formed around 1.002 with its neckline at 1.00, and the neckline was broken. This itself will definitely attract a large volume of sellers because it is just irresistible for many technical traders, isn't it? But who knows, one long spike takes all out - a final attempt to take out all short-sellers by large institutions from my pov. The volume expanded as soon as the price starts to shoot backwards, a very clear sign that the selling strong is taking over the trend in the earliest stage. Nevertheless, it is not very mindful if we just jumped in now and thus one should always have a trading plan to take this opportunity. I will be waiting for the price to retrace to the 618 level of the double top pattern and look for a strong bearish candle/reversal candle to short within the supply zone around 1.001.
