Here is an interesting illustration on a commodity that we consume almost every day. I have always been a coffee fan. Of course born and raised in Turkey, Turkish coffee has been a part of our daily life. I start and finish my day with coffee and consume 4-5 cups per day. When I saw […]
Looks like in the short-term Euro is due for a rebound. With the positive news flow from Euro Zone regarding the latest debt sales and restructuring of the Greek debt, U.S. dollar might pullback further helping the RISK ON trades to gain ground. I’ve mentioned in my previous updates that the technical outlook has turned positive […]
On January 6th I discussed government bonds for Germany & U.S. and drew attention to negative divergences on momentum indicators. U.S. 10 Year T-Notes and Euro Bund prices have generated negative divergences as they approached their previous high levels and both government bond prices tested their intermediate term resistance levels with negative divergences. The battle between bulls and […]

When I’m analyzing the long-term charts I try to combine 200 day moving average with the RSI. When combined they are helpful in giving you the big picture and the overall trend. Though there could be minor violations of the support/resistance areas, they will always generate timely warning signals in the intermediate/long-term. RSI tends to move between 40 and 80 […]
Here is a valuable analysis that would mainly interest Canadian investors and traders. Throughout the 3 years I’ve spent in Canada I’ve realized how important the crossrate has been for the Canadian economy and its export/import business. Currency advantage (when I started my studies in 2004, 1 U.S. dollar equaled 1.4 Canadian dollar), better education and multicultural society were some of the reasons […]
