What's Hot?

Recommended Posts

It is hard to identify actual trade opportunities with many forum users seeming to use different trading method but perhaps it might be more useful to discuss what markets might be hot (i.e. offer best risk reward equation).  Currently, for me, Stocks are overblown and until they break down into a bear I find the these markets too risky.

 

FX too is a challenge with post Brexit GBP/EUR sideways action unresolved (indeed much longer term sideways action than just Brexit).  USDJPY offered a decent Short in July and I believe a break below recent lows there will signal another leg lower and another shorting opportunity, indeed the current small retrace up to resistance could offer a decent Short entry point and USDCAD and Oil may offer something (Short and Long respectively) in due course but not there yet.

 

So the only markets that seem to offer a good bet just now are Gold and Silver.  At least they did on Friday when I took my Shorts at the wave B turn.  As I had previously observed the COT data was way over heated, signaling a retrace at least and other technicals supported a strong retrace back towards the 1200/1250 area on Gold.  Fundamentals too support this with strong NFP data ramping the stocks rally and signaling a possible revival of USD rate rises (an erroneous assumption in my view) being bearish for Gold. The retrace down has now begun I believe and after a possible brief retrace back up on the hourly chart a strong move down is on the cards.

 

My bigger picture thinking is that this move lower on Gold/Silver coincides with the last gasp of the Bull rally on stocks and that they will both reverse around the same time with Stocks going Bearish while Gold/Silver goes max Bull.

Don't worry about forum trader methods...we don't move markets.

 

Ny sugar11 was hot on upside

Coffee may follow

AUD is hot on upside especially after the stubbornness to fall after rate cut

of course there may be reaction which can transform in downturn

Yeah I'm not worried about IG customers moving the market, my point was no one seems to want to discuss trades, or just want trade entry tips to follow so I thought maybe people would be more interested in a discussion about longer term market trends that are providing a backdrop that is strong for a particular trade direction.

 

 

Re Commodities:

I don't trade agri business because it is all about the harvest so very seasonal.  Gold and Silver are the hot markets for me, although Oil could be about to get interesting for Bulls again... 

 

Re FX:

On the Aussie (assume you mean AUDUSD) I agree it is looking bullish just now but only in the short term (I expect another leg down on USD - DX and after that a strong rally).  I am not a short term trader so wont be riding the Aussie up but stalking it for a Short when it tops out (probably in the 7800-8000 area).

 

For me USDJPY is the only FX market that makes sense and, as discussed on a separate thread just now, is at a pivotal point.  All other main currency markets (USD crosses with GBP,EUR,CAD) are in the doldrums until they break one way or the other and that is hard trading.

 

Re stocks:

I must leave it alone until this wally rally concludes and we see the beginning of the end...

Discussion about trades is hard and can be pointless.

The long term trends.....you might want to talk (listen) to an economist :)

 

Commodities: would be wrong to think is 'just' about harvest. Is just supply and demand like any other product. Harvest is part of the supply. Its also about inventories and how much population consume (use). You like trading in oil, well its the same.

 Out of season there are beautiful trends also, but of course you can trade in whatever you like and feel comfortable with.

 

Stocks: depends what stocks but we had some correction, some stocks may be going up still way in to the year dragging the indexes even higher. I actually expect stocks even higher.

    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis It appears the current Gold pullback is completed and the commodity could be set to continue the all-time bullish trend to a fresh record high. From the Elliott wave theory perspective, Gold is expected to rally further to 2800 and beyond before the next pullback starts. Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, Gold completed the cycle degree wave II in October 2023 at 1810. Thus, the current bullish cycle can be traced to that date. Currently, the price is in wave ((iii)) of 5 of (3) of ((3)) of III. This indicates that Gold still has the potential to rally another 30-50% from the current price. Thus, buyers should be interested in buying pullbacks. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price is in wave (iv) of ((iii)) which appears to have finished or may do a double zigzag if the current bounce from 2701 is corrective. A zigzag structure has been completed and the next price action will determine whether recovery for wave (v) of ((iii)) will happen or wave (iv) will drop lower in a double zigzag structure. Whichever is the case, Gold is expected to continue to the upside to complete wave ((iii)) before the next pullback in ((iv)) starts.

    • The world of decentralized finance (DeFi) has witnessed the emergence of innovative solutions that aim to enhance the user experience and maximize returns. Liquid staking, a mechanism that allows users to stake their assets and receive liquid tokens, has gained traction within the Ethereum ecosystem. Platforms like Lido Finance and Rocket Pool have been at the forefront of this trend, offering users the ability to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. However, a new player, Swell Network, is entering the arena with a unique proposition. Swell's unique approach involves leveraging innovative protocols to maximize yield potential for stalkers. Swell has secured $3.75 million in a seed round and plans to launch its own Ethereum layer-2 chain in H2 2024, while it aims to attract both seasoned DeFi users and newcomers. As the Ethereum ecosystem continues to evolve, liquid staking solutions like Swell is unlocking new opportunities for its community with multiple events hosted by tier 1 CEXs like Bitget and even a premarket trading. How do you see the future of liquid staking shaping the DeFi landscape?
