Unexplained Forex spike.


Recommended Posts

Using demo account to learn spread betting on forex. Today on EUR/AUD between 13.00 and 14.00 hours my trade (a short) went from a position of small profit to spiking my stop loss before making major gains on the short trade, in minimal time. This movement is not evident on the other trading platforms I've been mirroring my IG account against, such as for e.g. MT4 platforms. Although this is only a demo account this worries me. The bounce was between 156276 to 154842 and the long gain above my entry point triggering my stop loss was evident only on the IG platform can you explain why this has happened.

    • Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election has sparked optimism in the cryptocurrency market. With growing crypto influence in U.S. politics, many investors believe his win could lead to favorable changes for Bitcoin prices and regulatory policies surrounding digital assets. Trump's Election: A Boost for Crypto Trump’s win signals a shift toward a more crypto-friendly U.S. administration. Investors are hopeful that, under his leadership, the SEC may adopt a less stringent approach to cryptocurrency, providing much-needed regulatory clarity. Rising Crypto Support in U.S. Politics Pro-crypto sentiment is growing across political lines. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong pointed out that 205 pro-crypto candidates were elected to the House of Representatives, far outnumbering their anti-crypto counterparts. The Senate also saw an increase in pro-crypto senators. This shift is fueling hopes for more supportive crypto regulations in the U.S. What Will the SEC Do Under Trump? The SEC’s approach to crypto could change under Trump. Historically, the SEC has taken a hardline stance on digital assets, filing numerous lawsuits against exchanges and companies. Trump has criticized the agency's regulatory overreach and has hinted that he would fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, leading many to believe the SEC might ease its position on crypto. Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, has urged the SEC to rethink its approach, suggesting that a more favorable regulatory environment could help drive Bitcoin prices higher. Bitcoin Price Hits New ATH: The Market Reacts Bitcoin’s price surged to a new all-time high (ATH) following Trump’s election victory. Currently Bitcoin was trading at $73,864.57 as per Coinpedia markets data.. This rally reflects growing investor confidence that a pro-crypto administration will drive the market forward, potentially leading to new price records for Bitcoin and other digital assets. For a deeper dive into Bitcoin Price Prediction and market trends, check out our detailed analysis. Will the SEC Drop Crypto Lawsuits? Investors are now wondering if the SEC will ease its legal actions against crypto companies. With Trump’s pro-crypto stance, there’s speculation that the SEC could start dropping ongoing lawsuits, providing greater stability for the market. Bitcoin’s Bright Future Ahead Trump’s victory, combined with growing crypto support in Congress and a potential shift in SEC policies, sets a positive outlook for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. Regulatory clarity could propel Bitcoin prices even higher in the near future.
    • Solana (SOL) recently dropped from $180 to $160, possibly due to profit-taking or broader market trends. However, with Bitcoin's rise, Solana price could potentially surge to $1,000 in the future. Current Solana Price and Key Support Levels Price Status: Solana price today is trading in the $160 range, maintaining a level above critical moving averages as per Coinpedia Markets. Support Levels: SOL is currently above the 50-day SMA ($153.30) and 200-day SMA ($151.40), which are key support levels. Holding above these could be a good sign of a potential price recovery. Temporary Downtrend: Despite the dip, trading above these support levels suggests that this downturn might only be temporary. Bullish Solana Price Prediction from Analysts Analyst View: Crypto analyst Bhr Investor believes Solana could reach between $650 and $1,000 in the next bull run. Market Conditions: Bhr Investor emphasizes that more candlestick patterns are needed to confirm this prediction, and he’s closely watching for signs of upward momentum. Growth Outlook: If the market shifts positively, the potential for Solana to soar is strong, backed by its position and market dynamics. Rising Network Activity on Solana Increased Usage: Solana’s network is seeing increased usage, which positively affects its fees. Outperforming Ethereum: Recent data from DeFiLlama shows that Solana briefly surpassed Ethereum in daily network fee generation. Raydium's Role: This surge is largely due to high activity on Raydium, Solana’s leading decentralized exchange, which brought in over $3 million in a single day through fees. Long-Term Impact: With increasing adoption and usage, Solana’s utility is expanding, which could support a steady price climb. Price of Solana vs. Ethereum Ethereum's Position: Although Solana briefly outpaced Ethereum in network fees, Ethereum still holds the lead with $2.72 million in fees over the last 24 hours. Close Race: The margin between the two networks is narrowing, and Solana’s expanding activity could continue to close the gap, boosting its reputation in the DeFi space. Final Thoughts: Is Solana a Good Investment? Potential for Growth: Despite recent price drops, Solana has strong growth potential. As its network activity increases, the price of Solana may see upward momentum. Future Outlook: With experts forecasting a Solana price range of $650 to $1,000 in the next bull run, the long-term outlook appears promising. Bullish Sentiment: Prominent crypto enthusiasts like Evan Luthra are bullish on Solana, seeing it as one of the top coins to watch alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
