Volatility Drifts Lower Ahead of Festive Period

As volumes continue to dwindle and volume heading lower ahead of the festive break, this is one of those weeks where you should not read too much into market moves. Therefore, perhaps take this time to reflect on your performance over the past year and look to identify any patterns. For example, are you more successful during a particular time in the trading session or trading a certain asset. These lookback periods in your performance are easier to analyse using a trading journal and below is a template of a trading journal.

Market Overview: CAD Looking Undervalued vs USD

As I mentioned above, volumes are drifting lower, which in turn, despite yesterday’s turnaround Tuesday, markets are somewhat directionless today and is likely to remain the case throughout the week with little in the way of narratives to trade. Be mindful, however, of risks tied to Russian/Ukraine tensions. Looking at the FX space and cross-JPY has turned a corner as bond yields pick up while equities stabilise. Elsewhere, a currency that appears to be lagging is the Canadian Dollar, which I highlighted yesterday, during the bounce back in both equities and oil prices. As such, given the upside in oil prices, alongside US/CA 5yr bond spreads moving in favour of the CAD. The Loonie looks undervalued against the greenback.

    • Hey fam. I'm super excited to share some amazing news about CARV, the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, which is about to be listed on a top tier Platform. CARV is all about putting data privacy, ownership, and control back into our hands. They use cutting-edge tech like Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) to make sure our data stays safe and we get to benefit from its value. Imagine earning rewards just by sharing your data through their incentivized data-sharing protocol and self-sovereign identity oracle. Pretty cool, right? With over 750 partnerships, including big names like Illuvium, Axie Infinity, and BinaryX, and integration across more than 40 blockchain ecosystems, CARV is making waves in the gaming and AI world. They’ve already got a massive user base with over 2.5 million registered users and 1.3 million daily active users. That’s some serious adoption! The upcoming Bitget listing is creating a lot of buzz, especially with the PoolX and Candybomb events. These events are perfect for earning rewards by staking and trading CARV tokens, which will definitely boost the project’s visibility and adoption. Plus, with $50M in funding from top investors like Temasek’s Vertex Ventures, ConsenSys, and HashKey Capital, CARV’s innovative approach to data monetization and decentralized ownership is set to attract even more attention in the crypto community. Can’t wait to see how CARV continues to revolutionize the space.

    • I've actually used trading bots before and found them effective, especially in volatile markets. While copy trading can be great for following experienced traders, bot trading allows for more customization since you set the rules or algorithms yourself. It's useful if you want to automate your strategy and avoid emotional decisions. For the Bitget Trading Bot Carnival, using a bot could help maximize your trades on those tokens, could be worth giving it a shot. You might end up preferring it, especially with the prize pool up for grabs.
