Basics about forex trade and the foreign exchange market / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Kavinesh_A
What is Forex Market?
The foreign exchange market is a vast marketplace where currencies are traded. Currencies and exchanging them with another currency hold prime importance around the world. Be it for travel, education, business or any other purpose, we need to relocate to a different country and need to exchange our currencies to the equivalent amount of local currency. As for example, if you are French on a tour to India, you can’t pay for food or conveyance in euros as they are not accepted. You need to seek help from a broker or an agent who exchanges your euros to the equivalent amount of Indian rupee that you can spend. The same theory is applicable all across the world. So, there are firms who provide a platform to the traders to buy or sell foreign currencies at the current exchange rates. This is where Forex tirdzniecība comes into existence.

Bitcoin Might Test All-time High / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
Is Bitcoin in bubble territory? Certainly, the price pattern this year looks like an exponential one, at least locally, but there are also opposing views. In an article on CNBC, we read:
[William] Bernstein is a neurologist who began writing about investing in the 1990s, soon becoming a best-selling author and drawing the admiration of legends such as Vanguard's Jack Bogle for his clear and rational analysis. He is best known for books such as "The Intelligent Asset Allocator" and "The Four Pillars of Investing" that show independent investors how to manage their money for the long term. He is currently retired as a doctor, but co-principal at Efficient Frontier Advisors, a money management firm for the very wealthy.

Apple Legend Steve Wozniak Says Bitcoin Is Better Than The Phony US Dollar / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
We’ve had a seemingly never-ending parade of crony capitalists, bankers, and politicians calling bitcoin everything from a “fraud” to “Enron” to “junk.”
Yesterday, though, a big name came out on the side of bitcoin. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple.
Notice that while people like JP Morgan’s Jamie Demon and Mastercard CEO, Ajay Banga, have never actually created any real wealth in their lives, Wozniak played a very crucial role in the development of personal computers which has led to the internet… which led to bitcoin… which has created massive amounts of wealth and freedom for the world.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, How To Trade Cryptos Safely / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Avi_Gilburt
In our previous article, we briefly described, in layman’s terms, the technology underlying cryptocurrency. Then we described how to get started with your first cryptocurrency purchase. In this article we want to characterize the crypto trade so you can begin a journey toward successful trading. Cryptocurrency is a very volatile asset and perhaps the most volatile asset we have seen. We expect it to remain this way for some time.
On any given day, we might see certain cryptos move 100% or more. 10% moves in small cap coin are quite pedestrian. 3-5% daily moves in the larger coins are common. Therefore, the returns, both positive and negative, outstrip the stock market by many fold.

By: Mike_McAra
There’s been some talk of gold becoming an alternative to gold. Goldman Sachs doesn’t seem to agree. In an article on CNBC, we read:
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are not the "new gold," Goldman Sachs said in a note, advising investors that precious metals "remain a relevant asset class" in portfolios.
In a note to clients earlier this week, Goldman detailed the benefits of holding gold in a portfolio.

By: Franco_Shao
The BTCUSD trades within a rising price channel with support at its bottom around 5110 on the 4-hour chart, indicating that the price remains in the uptrend from 2970. As long as the price is in the channel, the fall from 5870 could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend and further rise is still possible after the consolidation.

Bitcoin: A Tower of Monetary Babel / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Antonius_Aquinas
The promoters of crypto currencies have gushingly touted them as the mechanism by which the present central banking cabal and the system of nation states which derive much of their power from will be brought down and replaced by digital money. Despite their meteoric rise as speculative “assets,” there are fundamental economic reasons why they will never act as a general medium of exchange despite the wild enthusiasm for them by the crypto-currency cultists.

USD Intermediate Cycle update / Currencies / US Dollar
By: SurfCity
I need to see a bit more follow through confirmation in the days ahead, but it sure looks to me that the USD found support at the 50ma and found a short term Trading or Daily Cycle Low (TCL/ DCL) last Friday on day 24.
If I am correct, we are on day 1 of Trading Cycle #2 and this also means that the USD has found its longer term 5-6 month Intermediate Cycle Low (ICL) back in early September near the 7 month mark. My first chart is a close up daily that shows the price action.

China Wants the World’s Reserve Currency / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Michael_Pento
In the aftermath of WWII the American economy was that shining city on a hill. After saving mankind from the Nazi’s, America had the only intact manufacturing base and was the repository for most of the world’s gold. Those circumstances propelled the US dollar to world’s reserve currency status. And for the past seventy years, this status has been the cornerstone for America’s power base and hegemony around the globe.
