Base Metals having a little rally


Bopperz

Recommended Posts

I have only made one commodity trade this month. LDN cocoa, and that didnt work out for me. Keeping an eye on base metals and coffee too.

I am also looking at Cotton, but it needs to bottom out and turn before I will enter the trade.

@Bopperz,

Are you a long only trader? Do you short commodities? Just look at Silver!

Silver is in freefall!

I don't trade precious metals as I class them as an FX asset class. Also, many of the opportunities/trades that I have seen in banks aren't available to the retail trader. So I stay out of it.

@TrendFollower

I have been looking at the Silver which, as you pointed out, is currently trending downwards.

One question - what methods do you use to identify a pull back? I would like to use one as an entry.

I trade ranges, so I normally use support/resistance levels to identify turning points, but this is so far down the chart, its not going to work!

Thanks in advance

James.

Also, to clarify my thinking....

NYK Cotton looks like its about to breakout to the downside. So there are two scenarios:

1) Fakeout, the most common. Prices will hit a new low, hit a bunch of sell orders, before a quick reversal back into range.

2) Sustained down move. 

If its option 2, I will wait for a pull back to the ~5670 (ish) and enter a short.

    • Sorry, I didn't get it... What's Dual investment? 
    • The crypto market appears to be showing signs of recovery, with significant improvements in the Sharpe Ratios of Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum, according to an article published on Friday.  The Sharpe Ratio, a measure used to understand the return of an investment compared to its risk, has seen a notable increase for both cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's Sharpe Ratio has risen from -2.4 to 0.68, while Ethereum and BGB have also experienced a similar uptrend. This change signifies higher returns at lower risk, which is expected to attract more investors to the crypto market. In addition to the improved Sharpe Ratios, increased network activity and trading volume as shown on CEXs like Bitget, Binance, and a few DEXs are suggesting a healthier market state. The current trading prices of Bitcoin, reflect this overall positive market sentiment. As of Friday, Bitcoin was trading at $27,069.73, BGB at $0.454 and Ethereum at $1,677.89. These developments are significant as they indicate reduced risk in the crypto market. The increase in the Sharpe Ratios for Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum suggests that these cryptocurrencies are becoming less risky investments, which could potentially lead to an influx of new investors into the market.  Could this rise in Sharpe Ratios coupled with increased network activity and trading volume point towards a recovering and less risky crypto market?
