Recommended Posts

Welcome to the first episode of 2024's Sentiment study with Monte, where he dives into the world of silver. Join us on this exciting journey to understand and capitalise on the silver market's potential in the year ahead.

It's our first Sentiment Study video of 2024, and we’re looking at another precious metal. This time it’s silver and clients on our end are holding a far larger buy bias compared to gold. The latter managed to end the year with double-digit price gains, while silver finished 2023 largely unchanged. We plot sentiment from both IG clients and CoT speculators onto the chart and also examine the gold/silver ratio.

    • Hey fellow crypto enthusiasts! Just wanted to share my thoughts on the exchange recent performance. Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. Despite the market being a bit shaky, this platform have been killing it. They pulled in 1.72 million new users last month! That's no small feat. What caught my eye: 1. Apple Pay and Google Pay integration. Super convenient for converting fiat to crypto. I've used it a few times already - smooth as butter. 2. Their trading volumes are insane. $400 million daily in spot markets? $7 billion in futures? That's some serious liquidity. 3. The protection fund sitting at $400 million is reassuring. Always good to know there's a safety net. 4. Copy trading seems to be blowing up. 185,000 pro traders to follow? Sign me up! 5. They got that ISO 27001:2022 cert too. Might sound boring, but it's actually a big deal for security. Oh, and they've got this new legal chief, Hon Ng, working on expanding to new markets. Curious to see where that leads. It feels like the exchange is making smart moves. They're growing fast but still focusing on security and user experience. What do you all think? Anyone else been using Bitget lately?
    • Currently run multiple portfolios across ISA, SIPP and a GIA account mostly invested in shares, ETFs and smart portfolios.  There doesnt seem to be any sensible way of looking at historical P&L across my accounts or even on a per account basis.  Tracking this myself in a spready is dull dull dull. I know IG used to be a fairly bare bones brokerage, but is trying to market itself as an investment platform (c/f Cricket ads).  IG clearly have the required data and this is pretty core capability for an investment platform. Where is it?
    • Coffee Elliott Wave Analysis Coffee prices are beginning to turn lower after completing a key technical chart pattern. The commodity has been on a strong upward trajectory since October 2023, but a corrective decline now seems likely before the next leg of the rally resumes, continuing the bullish sequence from late 2023. This analysis explores the potential for a pullback and identifies key levels where the next move higher could emerge.   Long-Term Chart Analysis Coffee prices have historically traded within a wide range, with support levels between $40 and $55, and resistance levels ranging from $276 to $337. The current bullish cycle for coffee started back in May 2019, marking the beginning of a significant upward move. The first phase of this cycle peaked in February 2022, when coffee prices reached notable highs. A corrective second phase followed, ending with a bottom in January 2023. After this low, the third and ongoing phase of the bullish cycle began, and it is evolving as part of a larger corrective pattern within the broader Elliott Wave structure.   The third phase of the rally appears to be developing as a corrective wave, which is part of the larger impulse that started in 2019. With this in mind, the current price action suggests that further gains may come, but not before a significant pullback takes place.   Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, the third phase of the recovery completed its first leg, labeled wave (W), in April 2023. This was followed by a three-wave corrective structure, wave (X), which ended at 143.70 in October 2023, confirming support at that level. The subsequent rally represents wave (Y) of the primary degree wave W (circled), completing the bullish phase.   Wave (Y) of W (circled) appears to have formed an ending diagonal structure, signaling the exhaustion of the uptrend. With this structure potentially completed, a corrective pullback in wave X (circled) is expected. Given the sub-wave structure, this correction could take the form of a double zigzag, a complex corrective pattern that typically leads to further downside before the uptrend resumes.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, wave (Y) of W (circled) has completed a diagonal pattern, indicating that the rally is running out of steam. The immediate decline that has followed can be identified as wave W of (W) of Y (circled), the first phase of the larger corrective structure. A bounce in wave X is anticipated, but it is expected to remain below the August 2024 high. Once this bounce is complete, another leg lower in wave Y of (W) is likely, completing the initial correction phase.   Thus, while the long-term trend remains bullish for coffee, the market appears to be in the midst of a bearish retracement that could extend lower over the coming weeks. This corrective phase will likely persist as long as the August 2024 high is not breached, offering traders an opportunity to reassess before the next major rally unfolds.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
