US 30 stock index (Cash) after having pushed above the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) is now confronting the mid Bollinger band at the 28,600 barrier. The index appears to be regaining strength after a pivot back up from the 28,156 mark. The rising slopes of the 50- and 100-period SMAs and the recent bullish crossover of the 200-period SMA by the 100-period one may boost the short-term uptrend. The short-term oscillators also reflect increasing positive momentum. The MACD, slightly [..]

US 30 stock index (Cash) is flirting with the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) following a bounce off the 27,196 barrier, which was then capped by the 100-period SMA around 28,207. The retreat from the 6½-month high of 29,195 appears to maintain its waning negative tone, and may receive a boost from the forthcoming bearish crossover of the 100-period SMA by the 50-period one. That said, the merged Ichimoku lines are currently edging sideways reflecting a slowing pace in the [..]

US 30 stock index (Cash) retreated from the vicinity of 29,168, that being the 150.0% Fibonacci extension of the down wave from 27,632 to 24,560. The positive picture seems safeguarded by the advancing 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs), and may receive a boost from the approaching bullish crossover of the 200-day SMA by the 100-day one. Additionally, the progressing Ichimoku lines further service the ascent in the index. At the moment the short-term oscillators suggest the recoil from [..]
US and China hold ‘constructive’ talks, trade deal seen intact Wall Street hits another record; global equities follow suit But dollar only mildly softer as Treasury yields pop higher Phase one trade deal safe for now Washington and Beijing have reaffirmed their commitment to the ‘phase one’ trade deal via a call late on Monday between US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He.

US 30 stock index (Cash) drifted into the Ichimoku cloud and under the now capping 50-period simple moving average (SMA) after reaching a 5½-month high of 28,154. The waning positive momentum in the index is sponsored by the negative tone of the Ichimoku lines and, specifically, the fading red Tenkan-sen line. The short-term oscillators further support the negative move in the pair. The RSI slipped below its 50 neutral mark, while the stochastic oscillator cemented its bearish demeanour, breaking below [..]

A last-ditch attempt on Wednesday to resume talks went nowhere [..]
US 30 stock index (Cash) recently thrusted above the 26,880 level, that being the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of the down leg from 29,582 to 18,170, after finding some traction from the 200-day SMA at 26,295. The index’s positive momentum has slowed slightly as reflected in the short-term oscillators. The MACD, holding relatively steady in the positive region, has barely moved above its red trigger line, while the RSI has reversed ahead of the 70 mark. Furthermore, the Stochastics are located [..]
Dollar finds support from stalled stimulus talks amid splits in Congress Stocks struggle on poor earnings, stimulus delay; gold pauses rally Fed might bring some cheer if it reinforces dovish message Fiscal cliff worries mount as talks drag on Fears that the United States could be headed for a fiscal cliff undermined investor sentiment on Wednesday as Congress was no closer to reaching a deal on a new virus relief bill. An agreement before the month-end deadline is looking increasingly [..]

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.
In addition, functional cookies, for example, are used to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure your information is secure and operate more reliably and efficiently.
