The US 30 stock index (Cash) has logged a fresh all-time high of 30,345 as it continues to hold above the simple moving averages (SMAs), crawling gradually higher. The 200-period SMA is backing the positive structure, while the casual hike in the 50- and 100-period SMAs is maintaining the slow upwards pace in the index. Further backing this view is the relaxed incline in the Ichimoku lines. The short-term oscillators are reflecting weak momentum but lean towards the upside. The [..]

The US 30 stock index (Cash) is edging south from its freshly logged all-time-high of 30,313.56. Positive sentiment seems to be taking a breather as the momentum indicators are losing some momentum. The MACD, in the positive region, is holding below its trigger line, while the RSI is exhibiting a stalled positive picture. However, the bullish 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs) could boost the price, sending the index to uncharted peaks. In a bullish scenario, immediate resistance may develop [..]
The US 30 stock index (Cash) is tiptoeing higher after finding traction off the 100-period simple moving average (SMA), attached to the lower surface of the Ichimoku cloud. Although the Ichimoku lines are fairly directionless, the red Tenkan-sen line is nudging the price marginally higher. The indices’ positive structure appears safeguarded above the support zone of 28,838-28,957 and is being defended by the improving trajectory of the SMAs. The short-term oscillators are echoing intact positive momentum. The MACD, slightly above [..]

Positive sentiment seems to be taking a breather as the index, to some degree, is nudging sideways. The bullish 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs) could boost the price, sending the index to uncharted peaks. The short-term oscillators are transmitting mixed messages in directional momentum. The MACD, in the positive region, is holding above its red trigger line, while the stochastic oscillator [..]
US 30 stock index (Cash) is facing the capping 50-period simple moving average (SMA) at 29,502, after improving a bit off the lower Bollinger band at 29,195. The index, ever since it logged a fresh all-time-high of 30,091 on November 9, has been trading in a ranging market between 28,838 and 30,091. That said, the flattening 50-period SMA and the conflicting signals in momentum within the short-term oscillators, promote a developing horizontal picture. The MACD is in the negative zone [..]

Cookies are small data files. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser.
Cookies do not transfer viruses or malware to your computer. Because the data in a cookie does not change when it travels back and forth, it has no way to affect how your computer runs, but they act more like logs (i.e. they record user activity and remember stateful information) and they get updated every time you visit a website.
We may obtain information about you by accessing cookies, sent by our website. Different types of cookies keep track of different activities. For example, session cookies are used only when a person is actively navigating a website. Once you leave the website, the session cookie disappears.
Why are cookies useful?
We use functional cookies to analyse how visitors use our website, as well as track and improve our website’s performance and function. This allows us to provide a high-quality customer experience by quickly identifying and fixing any issues that may arise. For example, we might use cookies to keep track of which website pages are most popular and which method of linking between website pages is most effective. 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. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access our trading platform, and recall your preferences, such as which language you wish to see when you log in.
