In my previous piece last week, the only call I made was long GBP/USD. This obviously worked out well, as the currency pair rose by 1.11% over the week. Last week again saw a still-volatile stock market where the S&P 500 ranged above a supportive 200-day simple moving average. The steady fall in stock valuations…
The Ethereum bull market is set to resume. Why do we think so? Very simply, cryptocurrencies in general have stopped their selloff right at secular support levels, and, Ethereum in particular, is doing so in a textbook fashion. The daily price chart of Ethereum embedded below makes the point. In the last 12 months we have…
The economic calendar is normal, with an emphasis on housing. Earnings season begins in earnest, with widespread, high expectations. Especially after Friday’s selloff, many will be wondering: Do stock prices already reflect strong earnings growth? Last Week Recap In my last edition of WTWA I asked whether the Trump Trade had reached a tipping point. That was a…
The EUR/USD pair faces further downside pressure as it looks to extend downside pressure. On the upside, resistance comes in at 1.2350 level with a cut through here opening the door for more upside towards the 1.2400 level. Further up, resistance lies at the 1.2450 level where a break will expose the 1.2500 level. Conversely,…

Dollar/CAD had a lot of good reasons to fall, with the Canadian dollar enjoying oil, NAFTA, and other hopes. Can the trend extend? The loonie faces the all-important rate decision by the BOC, inflation data, and also the implications of the airstrikes on Syria which happened after markets closed. Here are the highlights and an updated…
The weekend strike by the US, British and French forces against Syria appears to have been conducted in ways that minimize the risks of escalation by Russia. The limited nature of the strike and objectives suggest that the impact on the constellation of forces in Syria will be minimal. There is unlikely to be much of…
The S&P 500 (SPY) gained 2.0% for the week. Yet the week felt like a loser given the way it ended. The S&P 500 dropped marginally on Friday, just 0.3%, but the close represented a fade from a gain and a near test of downtrending resistance at the 50-day moving average (DMA). The S&P 500 (SPY) melted…
There is a huge difference between disliking Bitcoin as an investment and disliking Bitcoin as a construct. Some of the flaws of Bitcoin are by now well-understood: It does not scale, it is nearly useless for routine purchases, and its use of energy in mining is problematic in many ways.

Dividend stocks are a savvy way to ride out the choppy markets right now. According to Bank of America, dividends can be a sign of corporate financial health. It says: “Dividends may help to mitigate portfolio losses when stock prices decline, and over long-time horizons, stocks with a history of increasing their dividend each year…
