After scaling a high of 93.13 earlier in the week, the dollar index has been lingering around 92.95 since Wednesday, when it was driven down by CPI data. Dollar/yen is creating the third consecutive red day after the climb to 110.80. The euro rebounded against the greenback even after yesterday’s [..]

Stocks around the world skyrocketed on news this week that the Covid-19 vaccine being developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is more than 90% effective in protecting against the virus. That’s a very impressive number when considering that it’s much higher than the most optimistic expectations and even more so when comparing it to flu vaccines, whose effectiveness is thought to be a lot lower at between 40-60%. Hence, it would be fair to say that the euphoria in the markets [..]
Germany 30 stock index (Cash) looks to be fading further despite recently finding footing at the 12,339 level. Painting a deteriorating picture are the negatively charged Ichimoku lines, one of which has capped additional progress from the price bounce. Furthermore, the bearish tone of the simple moving averages (SMAs), and specifically the downwards overlap of the 100-period SMA by the 50-period one, may accelerate the decline. The short-term oscillators display the recent price gains but also consider a stall in [..]
Germany 30 index (Cash) was deprived of additional gains after the index shot above the 100-period simple moving average (SMA), escaping a region where the SMAs had converged. The price appears to have retreated from a limiting level in-line with the upper surface of the Ichimoku cloud around 13,047. Looking at the relatively flattened SMAs, they too reflect the short-term neutral mode that the price has adopted, despite the sudden strength in the index. The Ichimoku lines have stalled their [..]

Germany 30 Index (Cash) seems skewed to the upside as the price has moved above the rising simple moving averages (SMAs) and the Ichimoku cloud. Although the sideways market looks to be tipping towards the upside, it is currently on weak positive momentum, something also reflected in the Ichimoku lines and the short-term oscillators. The MACD, is holding above its red trigger line in the positive area with weak momentum, while the RSI gradually points higher in the positive region. [..]
Germany 30 Index’s (Cash) bounce on the 11,588 level, that being the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the down leg from 13,826.27 to 7,961, appears to have hit a ceiling at the 76.4% Fibo of 12,444. The current sideways move is further backed by the recent bearish overlap of the improving 100-period SMA by the falling 50-period one, around 12,258. Additionally, momentum indicators are highlighting the paused demeanour in the price as the MACD and the RSI remain stuck around their [..]

The latter also helps us to track if you were referred to us by another website and improve our future advertising campaigns.
Another use of cookies is to store your log in sessions, meaning that when you log in to the Members Area to deposit funds, a "session cookie" is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website did not set this cookie, you will be asked for your login and password on each new page as you progress through the funding process.
