Energy Sets Up Two New Trades – Here They Are

By TheTechnicalTraders.com

Before we discuss these incredible trade setups in the Energy sector, we have to discuss the continued shifting global economy and how that relates to these setups.  Nearly three weeks ago, we posted a research article suggesting Crude Oil would call to levels near $50 over the next 30+ days, then stall for about 45 days before falling further and potentially attempting new lows near $40 ppb.  It is important to understand certain aspects of the global economy, economic demand and how it relates to seasonal patterns for Energy.

We believe the move lower is Crude Oil is related to a supply glut that continues to plague the global markets while global economic trade, shipping, and activity continue to weaken.  Too much oil supply with weakening global economic activity means Crude Oil will likely waffle lower until this dynamic changes.

Please read our recent research post to know where Crude Oil is likely to head next. Also this crude oil, prediction uses our oil price DNA algorithm to show us the future price range of oil.

Other energy-related symbols, like Natural Gas and ERY, are set up for a different type of price move.

The reality of the situation is that once Crude Oil reaches to levels near $50 ppb, it is very likely that a support level will push Crude back higher (as we suggest in our research) which will align with a seasonal pattern for Natural Gas and early Winter demand for heating oil.  September, October, and November are typically a ramp-up period for winter demand and end of year holiday travel.  People tend to take advantage of the last bit of Summer to seek out vacation spots, prepare for winter and push the cold back as long as possible.

Future contracts may move higher, in preparation of this seasonal trend, many months before the season actually starts.  This is the reason we believe the energy sector is setting up some incredible opportunities for skilled technical traders.

The weekly chart of Natural Gas

This first Weekly chart of Natural Gas highlights a basing pattern that we’ve been following for months.  We believe any move below $2.30 is a strong bottoming/basing setup for skilled traders and our predictive modeling systems suggest we are just weeks (3 to 5+) away from a big upside move in NG.

We believe natural gas will continue to fall and base. Once a bottom has been made the upside potential for NG over the next 60+ days is quite substantial.  We believe an in initial upside move after it bottoms will be to levels above $3.15 will take place before October 10 and that potential for an extreme breakout upside move above $4.00 is quite likely before the end of November 2019.

Please read this article to learn more about our research into NG and the opportunities that are setting up now.  Also, this post we shared Natural Gas Moves Into Basing Zone.

ERY – Bear Energy Sector Chart

Keeping in mind that the setup within the energy sector is two-fold.  First, Oil and NG will continue to fall and base/bottom (moving slightly lower over the next few weeks).  This is why ERY is such a great setup right now.  Any breakdown in energy commodity prices over the next 3~5 weeks will push ERY 15% to 25% higher from current levels – which is exactly what we are expecting to happen.

Then, as Crude Oil and Natural Gas base in their support zones, ERY will peak which is when we want to pull profits from ERY and watch other bullish energy ETFs for long side setups.

From current levels, we believe ERY will target $50 to $52.50 fairly quickly as Crude Oil and NG continue to move lower and setup a momentum base within the basing zone/support range.  Remember Crude Oil should move to levels near $50 (a full 10% lower than current price levels) before basing.

Concluding Thoughts:

As we’ve been suggesting for months, 2019 and 2020 are setting up to be incredible years for skilled technical traders.  These moves in commodities, energy, and metals are providing us with trade after trade of 10%, 20% or more.  Almost every month, the markets are setting up 10 to 15+ incredible trading opportunities and all we have to do is time our entries and run these trades as we do any other trade. Not all trade setups are the kind we like and we only enter the ones that we think have the highest opportunity and lowest risk.

Investors Assess the ECB Meeting Results

by JustForex

The US dollar is changing slightly against a basket of major currencies. The US dollar index (#DX) closed with a slight increase (+0.07%). Yesterday, optimistic economic data from the US were published. Thus, core durable goods orders rose by 1.2% in June instead of the forecasted growth by 0.2%. Initial jobless claims decreased to 206K instead of 220K.

At the same time, the euro strengthened against the US currency after the ECB decided on the interest rate. Thus, the regulator left the key marks of monetary policy unchanged. In addition, the ECB has changed its forecast for the further course of rate. It is expected that key rates will remain at the same level or will be lower at least until the end of the first half of 2020, or until inflation in the Eurozone returns to the 2% level.

The “black gold” prices continue to rise. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing the mark of $56.30 per barrel.

Market Indicators

Yesterday, aggressive sales were observed in the US stock markets: #SPY (-0.48%), #DIA (-0.45%), #QQQ (-0.95%).

The 10-year US government bonds yield has been growing. Currently, the indicator is at the level of 2.07-2.08%.

EUR/USD bears find new fuel thanks to the ECB – 1.1100 in focus

By Admiral Markets

Source: Economic Events July 26, 2019 – Admiral Markets’ Forex Calendar

After the ECB rate decision yesterday, and the Fed rate decision coming up next Wednesday, we want to focus today on the EUR/USD.

The currency pair saw a drop over the last few days, and went for a test of its current yearly lows after the ECB statement was released.

While the ECB kept interest rates unchanged, it adjusted its forward guidance in a way which allows rate cuts, but also rate tiering (to relieve pressure on European banks resulting out of a collapse in yields) and QE in the near-term.

In addition to that, the mentioning of inflationary pressures which have been persistently below levels that are in line with the central bank’s aim (note: 2%), and as long as that’s the case, the ECB will adjust all of its instruments as appropriate.

With that said, further monetary stimulus should be expected, coming probably in September, with the European Central Bank lowering interest rates into negative territory. So, the already expected rate cut from the Fed next Wednesday will most likely not trigger a sharp reversal in the EUR/USD.

This is especially true if today’s US GDP Growth Rate data comes in better than the expected 1.8%. After the solid Retail Sales data on July 16 (which saw a print of 0.4% against the expected 0.1%), and knowing that Retail Sales account for around 30% of the GDP, a better-than-expected US GDP print is a serious option and could trigger some USD strength if it results in an “out-pricing” of a fourth rate cut in 2019 in the Fed Watch Tool.

Technically, we carefully watch the region around 1.1180/1200 as a potential Short-trigger, against which a sustainable break below 1.1100 could be anticipated. The outlook on H4 stays clearly bearish as long as we trade below 1.1280/1300:

Silver Price Target during the Next Bull Market

By TheTechnicalTraders.com

It is time to explore the details of our Gold vs. Silver ratio research and to start to understand the potential for profits within this move in precious metals.  The first part of our research article highlighted the Gold vs. Silver ratio and why we believe the “reversion process” that is taking place in price could be an incredible opportunity for traders.

Historically, when the Gold vs. Silver ratio reaches an extreme level, and precious metals begin to rally, a reversion within the ratio takes place, which represents a revaluation process for silver prices compared to gold prices.  This typically means that the prices of Silver will accelerate to the upside as the price of gold moves higher – resulting in a decrease in the ratio level.

This reversion process related to precious metals pricing is an opportunity for traders to take advantage of an increased pricing advantage to generate profits.

For every drop of 5.0 points in the gold/silver ratio, the price of Silver should increase by 6.5% to 7.5% to the price of Gold.

This research is based on our belief that Gold and Silver will continue to rally and potentially enter a parabolic upside price advance soon.  If this takes place and precious metals begin to skyrocket higher, the ratio level will react in a hyperactive “reversion process” where Silver may move higher at a rate that is substantially faster than Gold.  This is the process that we are exploring and our researchers are attempting to shed some insight into this event.

I believe a reversion process has already begun to take place within the precious metals market.  We believe this reversion process is about to explode as a dramatic revaluation event unfolds over the next 12+ months.  This process will become more evident to traders as the price of Gold continues to rally towards the $1750+ level and as the price of Silver explodes higher in larger and larger advances.

Gold/Silver/US Dollar ratio chart

This Gold/Silver/US Dollar ratio chart is the basis of our analysis for the reversion process event and the associated revaluation event.  Our previous analysis suggests Gold will attempt a move to levels above $1650 to $1700 on the next breakout move higher.  This next upside price move will expose the price reversion event for all traders to witness and we have mapped out the expected Silver price advantage for all traders going forward.

Gold/Silver Ratio – Silver Price vs Ratio Level

We put together this reference table to assist all traders in understanding just how important this move could be to them.  This reference table shows the current Gold/Silver price levels (in GREY) as the ratio levels change from 88 to lower levels.

If the price of Gold were to stay at the same $1426 level while Silver rallied to prompt an 82 or 77 ratio level, the price of silver would move from the current price of $16.19 to $17.39 or $18.52 in order to reflect this decreased ratio level.  That represents a 7.5% to 14.3% price increase.

Yet if the price of Gold advances to $1650 or $1750 while the ratio level drops to the 82 or 77 ratio level (because Silver advances fast than Gold), then the price of Silver would move from the current price of $16.19 to $20.12 to $22.73.  That move represents a 24.2% to 40.3% price increase in Silver when Gold increased only 15.7% to 22.7%.

What If Silver Advances Quicker Than Gold?

If Silver advances even faster than our “what if” scenario, above, and Gold continues to advance as we expect, the increased price reversion process taking place in Silver as a process of this revaluation event could result in a 70% to 110% fast price advance in Silver than the price advance that takes place in Gold.

We believe the next upside price leg in Silver will target $19.50 to $22.75.  This target range supports the highlighted area on our Ratio table (below).  In other words, we believe the ratio level will attempt to quickly move toward the 70 to 77 level as Gold prices rally over the next few months.  This would push silver up into the $22.50 to $25 price level very quickly.

What If Gold Rallies Faster Than Silver?

If Gold were to rally above $1950 on an extended upside price advance before August or September, we believe the reversion process would become extremely hyperactive in nature and the price of Silver could push well above $29~34 per ounce – may be even higher.

This declining ratio level acts as a turbo-boost for the price of Silver as Gold continues to advance.  The recent rotation to the downside suggests the ratio relationship between Gold and Silver has already stated a reversion process – the only question is “where will it end?”.  Our researchers believe it will stop where it stops and we believe the 65 level on the Ratio chart is just the initial target for this first upside leg.

Imagine where Silver could go if the ratio level fell to levels below 40 and gold rallied to $2500 or more?  Ok, stop imagining and take a look at this second extended ratio table.

Pay attention to the fact that Silver could rally more than 300% if Gold moves up above $1750 and the Gold/Silver ratio drops below the 55 level.  If Gold were to continue to rally and the Gold/Silver ratio continued to fall, Silver could rally well above $50 over the long run.

Silver Price Range As Gold/Silver Ratio Move To the Average

We’ve attempted to graph the ranges of the expected move in Silver into segments based on the Gold/Silver ratio to assist traders in understanding just how powerful this setup really is.  Imagine what it would take for Gold to move up to levels above $1750 (which is our expected target for the next leg higher) and for Silver to rally into the 55 to 65 ratio level.  If that happens, the expected target price for Silver would be somewhere between $30 and $40 – more than 100% higher than the current price of Silver.

If you think $50 is unimaginable or unrealistic, we’ve just shown you why it is possible these levels could be reached before the end of 2019 or in 2020.  If you have not grasped the reality of what is likely to unfold over the next 6 to 12+ months in the global markets and that precious metals are the setup of the decade, then pay attention to the fact that gold and silver are poised for moves ranging from 40% to 240% over the next 12+ months depending on the scale and scope of this move.

Our current objectives for the ratio levels are still 55 to 65 within this next move higher where Gold will target $1750.  Beyond that level, we’ll have to update you as the price continues to explore new highs.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:

In short, don’t miss the trade of the decade. These opportunities for skilled technical traders over the next 16+ months is incredible.  Huge price swings, incredible trends, big rotations and we could see nearly 300%+ profits to be had if you know what to trade and when.  These types of opportunities are perfect for skilled technical traders like us and we want to help you prepare for and trade these opportunities.

Japanese Candlesticks Analysis 25.07.2019 (EURUSD, USDJPY)

Article By RoboForex.com

EURUSD

On H4 the pair is testing the horizontal support level, forming reversal patterns, including an Inverted Hammer. In the current trading situation it may be supposed that if the signal for the reversal patterns is realized, the price may bonce and head for 1.1200, forming a descending channel. AT the same time, a breakaway of the support level and a decline to 1.1120 are not to be excluded.

EURUSD
Risk Warning: the result of previous trading operations do not guarantee the same results in the future

USDJPY

On H4, inside the downtrend, the pair has formed a group of reversal patterns, including a Doji. At the current stage of the reversal pattern realization we can see a small flat. Comparing with the previous movements, we may suppose that upon testing the upper border of the channel the price may start declining to 107.20. AT the same time a reverse scenario should not be excluded: the price may break through the resistance, renew the maximums and grow towards 108.96.

The instrument is trading at 1.3132 above the Ichimoku Cloud which suggests an ascending trend. Testing of the signal lines of the indicator near 1.3105 is expected, followed by growth to 1.3210. Yet another signal of growth may be a bounce off the lower border of the ascending channel. The scenario may no longer be valid in case the lower border of the Cloud is broken and trading closes below 1.3050, which may be followed by further decline to 1.2965.

The EUR/USD currency pair has stabilized after a rather long decline. At the moment, investors have are waiting for the ECB meeting. Participants in financial markets have weakened forecasts for lowering interest rates by the Central Bank at the current meeting. At the same time, most experts believe that the regulator may pave the way for softening the monetary policy in the near future, as the growth of the eurozone economy slows down. We recommend to pay attention to the comments and rhetoric of the ECB. Additional pressure on the euro is driven by the weak reports on business activity for July in Germany and the EU. At the moment, the quotes are consolidating in the range of 1.11300-1.11500. Positions must be opened from these marks.

The US Currency Is Consolidating. Investors Expect the ECB Meeting

by JustForex

The US dollar is changing slightly against a basket of major currencies. The US dollar index (#DX) closed with a slight increase (+0.03%). Yesterday, mixed economic data from the US were published. Thus, the manufacturing PMI counted to 50.0 in July instead of the expected value of 51.0. New home sales increased from 604K to 646K in June. At the same time, market expectations were at the level of 660K.

Investors are focused on the ECB meeting. It is expected that the European Central Bank will not change the key marks of monetary policy following the meeting results, but will give signals to cut interest rates at the next meeting in September.

The US-China trade negotiations are also in the spotlight. The White House announced that a delegation led by US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer would go to China on Tuesday, July 30 for the next round of talks. Mnuchin expects progress and believes that more meetings will be needed, which are likely to take place later in Washington.

Yesterday, new UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson delivered a keynote speech and announced his readiness to exit the country from the European Union before October 31. He noted that he intended to conclude a new and better agreement with the EU. The official believes that the deal with the union, which developed Theresa May, is dead.

The “black gold” prices have been recovering after a sharp collapse the day before. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing the mark of $56.25 per barrel.

Yesterday, there was a variety of trends in the US stock markets: #SPY (+0.47%), #DIA (-0.27%), #QQQ (+0.70%).

The 10-year US government bonds yield has fallen. Currently, the indicator is at the level of 2.03-2.04%.
