PremiumTechnical analysis is not your decision-making process — it’s a tool to help you structure better trading decisions by studying past price movements to anticipate likely future moves. 👉 Every time you look at a chart, you should decide: ✅ Do I want to trade at all? ✅ What’s my entry? ✅ Where’s my stop (when does my thesis fail)? ✅ What’s my target (where will I...
We’re back looking at the #Bitcoin chart. While BTC stays above the 55-day MA (currently at 101,116), we remain overall bullish. But here’s the catch: 🔍 What I’m watching: • The MACD is still below zero — no clear buy signal yet. • The RSI is encouraging (above 50), but… • 📉 No surge in volume = caution. • DMI also not giving a strong green light. 👉 So, we might...

The Bank of England is widely expected to hold interest rates steady, with markets pricing in nearly two cuts by year-end, according to LSEG. ING’s Pesole notes the BOE may endorse this outlook — but warns risks lean toward signalling even more cuts, thanks to soft UK data lately. 📈 FX Check: • EUR/GBP flat at 0.8548 • GBP/USD steady at $1.3417 📊 Tech View on...
Global markets tread cautiously today amid rising Middle East tensions and investor jitters ahead of the Fed’s policy decision. Israel’s continued airstrikes on Iran, now in their 6th day, are weighing heavily on sentiment, with European stocks and oil prices lacking direction. 📊 US Dollar Watch: Traders are closely eyeing the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) weekly...
U.S. stock index futures rose Monday, buoyed by easing oil prices, even as geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran simmer in the background. All eyes are now on the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. 👀💼 But here’s the catch on the S&P 500 👇 🔹 Price is stalling at a resistance line, tracing back to March highs 🔹 Daily RSI shows major divergence, signalling a...
On Friday, the platinum market printed a key day reversal — a classic signal that a short-term correction may be underway. 🔍 In our analysis posted Thursday, we highlighted the 55-hour moving average as good place to place a stop level in a runaway market. Fast forward to now: that level has been decisively broken, along with a drop below the cloud on the hourly...
Any disruption to Iranian oil supply could prompt OPEC to boost output quickly, says ING's Warren Patterson. But there's a limit to how much the cartel can buffer the market—especially if tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf, where most of OPEC's 5M bbl/day spare capacity sits. 🛢️ The Strait of Hormuz is critical—any supply shock here could trigger a global...

So, the big question is: 👉 Where do you place your stops now? Here’s my approach: 🔍 First, I check the long-term time frame. We're heading toward 1348 — that’s the 2021 high, and...
Today, we're analysing Platinum Futures – and the market is showing some major technical shifts. On the weekly chart, we’ve seen a sharp rise, pushing prices to new 3-year highs. Switching to the monthly chart, the picture gets even more compelling: 🔹 We've broken above two significant long-term downtrends — one dating back to 2008, and another from 2011. 🔹 The...

Looking at the daily chart of the S&P 500 with the 200-day moving average (turquoise line), you could build a very basic—but often effective—trend-following system: ✅ Price above the 200-day MA = Bull trend ❌ Price below the 200-day MA = Bear trend 🔄 Price oscillating around it = Possible trend change ________________________________________ 📊 Current Setup: We’ve...
Top or Consolidation? Here's My Take... It's not crystal clear — I can see the case for both. But after years of chart-watching, this doesn't quite look like a top to me: • Lacks symmetry • Had chances to break down, but no real follow-through 🧭 Where are we headed? I think pressure remains, and we could dip toward the 50% retracement of the 2023 move — that’s...
The Bitcoin chart continues to look constructive, showing strength within a long-term uptrend that’s been in place since 2021. 🔍 While the daily chart may not tell the full story, a look at the weekly chart reveals the bigger picture: ✅ Price recently bounced off the 55-week moving average ✅ Structure remains intact and bullish ✅ The market looks well-positioned...

But is it just noise… or something more meaningful? 🔎 Zooming out to the weekly chart reveals: 📈 BTC has been in a long-term uptrend channel since 2021 📉 The recent weakness? Likely just a correction ✅ Price held above the 55-week...
As global stock markets remain under pressure, we’re taking a close look at the FTSE 100 this morning. The index continues to trend lower and is now approaching key long-term support levels: 🔹 200-week moving average: 7,671 🔹 55-month moving average: 7,510 Typically, these levels might offer a platform for stabilisation — but the technical damage is evident. The...
It never ceases to amaze how, in times of uncertainty, markets tend to revert to their long-term moving averages. Right now, US stocks are taking a hit, pricing in an expected slowdown. 🔻 Nasdaq has broken key technical levels, closing below its 2023-2025 uptrend and 55-week MA (19,770). A weekly close below this will confirm further downside risk, with major...
The S&P remains fragile below the 55-day moving average (6000), with key support levels in focus: 📌 200-day MA at 5723 📌 Mid-2024 peaks at 5651/70 📌 55-week MA at 5603 If the 55-week MA breaks, there’s little support until the 2022 peak at 4818.
