By: Franco_Shao
Under pressure by the resistance of the November 2016 high of 1.1299, the EURUSD pair pulled back from 1.1295 and broke below the major bullish support trend line at 1.1160 on its daily chart, indicating that a short term top had been formed. Sideways movement in a trading range between 1.1070 and 1.1295 would likely be seen over the next several days.

USDJPY Broke Above Trend Line Resistance / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Franco_Shao
The USDJPY pair failed to break below the April 17 low of 108.13 and recently moved above the bearish trend line from 111.71 to 110.81 at 110.15 on its 4-hour chart, suggesting that the bearish movement from the May 11 high of 114.36 had completed at 108.81 already. As discussed before, as long as 108.13 support holds, the fall from 114.36 would possibly be correction of the uptrend from 108.13, and another rise to retest the resistance of the March 10 high of 115.50 is still possible after the correction.

The US Government Clamps Down on Ability of Americans To Purchase Bitcoin / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
You have to feel sorry for Americans. They are some of the most financially enslaved people in the world.
The bankrupt US government has been instituting capital controls for years now and have ensured that Americans can’t open a bank account nor even a bitcoin exchange account outside of the US through things like the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and just outright threatening to attack any bank or bitcoin exchange in the world who accepts Americans as clients.
This leaves Americans in the “land of the free” with very few options for bitcoin exchanges.

USDJPY Still Under Pressure / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Franco_Shao
USDJPY stays below the bearish trend line from 111.71 to 110.81 with resistance at around 110.20 on its 4-hour chart, suggesting that the pair remains in bearish movement from the May 11 high of 114.36. As long as the pair is below the trend line, the bearish move could be expected to continue, and next target would be at the April 17 low of 108.13. A breakdown below 108.13 support will indicate that the longer term downtrend from the December 2016 high of 118.66 has resumed, then the pair will find next support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement taken from the June 2016 low of 98.97 to 118.66 at around 106.50.

The War On Cash Is Now Becoming The War On Cryptocurrency / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
The US government is the most bankrupt government in the history of the world. At $19.9 trillion, nothing even comes close. The next closest are the EU and Japan with approximately $9 trillion in debt… not even half as much as the US!
And, when you add up all US government debt and liabilities - which are things already spent but which need to be paid for in the future - it works out to somewhere between $100 and $200 trillion.

The US Dollar Bull Case / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Rambus_Chartology
I see just about everyone has their own theory or trading discipline on where the US dollar is headed next. It’s all these different ideas that make the markets work. Everyone can’t be bullish at the bottom or bearish at the top, it’s just the way it has to be.
For my 2 cents worth I’m still looking at the possible fractal, bullish rising wedge as a halfway pattern to the upside. I did an in depth report on currencies and the US dollar several months ago in which I showed how it could play out. Since that report the US dollar has declined down to the point, where if the fractal is going to work, now is the time for the US dollar to put in its bottom.

The Pros and Cons of Bitcoin and Blockchain / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Rodney_Johnson
In October 2015 we held our Irrational Economic Summit in Vancouver. The weather was awesome, and the conference went well. Part of the final session was a Q&A with Harry Dent, myself, and Dr. Lacy Hunt.At one point, an attendee asked about bitcoin.
I told the audience in no uncertain terms that bitcoin was effectively dead. Whether it died a quick death or lingered for years, the cryptocurrency could not survive because governments would not allow it.

Bitcoin Price Corrects / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
Bitcoin is now a lot more popular among mainstream investors than it was only a couple days ago. This is perhaps evidenced by the fact that the digital currency made its way to Bloomberg Markets homepage. In the short piece we read:
Bitcoin rose as much as 5.8 percent to an all-time intraday high of $2,999.98. The virtual currency has tripled its value since the beginning of the year amid greater acceptance of the blockchain technology that underpins the exchange method, global political uncertainty and increased interest in Asia. Skeptics have said that there may be a bubble in the making as bitcoin has repeatedly broken records without showing signs of slowing.

By: Franco_Shao
GBPUSD moved sideways in a trading range between 1.2756 and 1.3047. As long as the pair is above 1.2756 support, the sideways movement could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend from the March 14 low of 1.2109, and further rise could be expected after the consolidation. Near term resistance is at 1.3047, a break of this level could signal resumption of the uptrend.

Bitcoin Price Appreciates Again / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
Bitcoin is creeping into the mainstream press. Last week, the digital currency was in the center of an article in the Economist. In the article, we read:
Markets frequently froth and bubble, but the boom in bitcoin, a digital currency, is extraordinary. Although its price is down from an all-time high of $2,420 on May 24th, it has more than doubled in just two months. Anyone clever or lucky enough to have bought $1,000 of bitcoins in July 2010, when the price stood at $0.05, would now have a stash worth $46m. Other cryptocurrencies have soared, too, giving them a collective market value of about $80bn.
