  • High-security stock: CrowdStrike shares
    by ForexLive on May 30, 2023 at 4:01 pm

    No doubt you know how a secure password looks like – capital and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. If you’ve been unaware of this rule, then share your email and current password in comments below – we will help you to think of a stronger password. Disclaimer: of course, this is a joke and please, please, please do not leave a comment with your personal info. But cybersecurity is a conspicuous topic nowadays, and cybersecurity companies are on horseback. One of them is CrowdStrike Holdings, which has already experienced a 40% growth since the beginning of the year. And many analysts believe that this growth is far from over – let’s explore the reasons behind their optimistic outlook. CrowdStrike is a relatively young company that was founded in 2011 and became public in 2019. The chart below shows what happened after that – more than 120% percent growth in just three and a half years. However, at present, the company's numbers are far from their all-time highs. Okay, historical data is important, but we should look closer at the current situation. The following chart compares CrowdStrike's stocks with the S&P 500 index in 2023, indicating outstanding results for CRWD this year. Among other things, it’s important to remember that a variety of events might influence markets as well as indices or stocks. It means you should forecast what happens next using special trading tools. One of them is the economic calendar, helping track all the major economic events. The secret of CrowdStrike’s success lies in its exclusive focus on cloud-based technologies. While some can see a limit for growth, this strategy actually enables cost-effectiveness and facilitates a subscription-based model for CrowdStrike services. Consequently, it’s easier to scale the business and engage new customers. If you are reading this text sitting at home or in a cafe (instead of the office), you are among the individuals contributing to CrowdStrike's additional profit. The higher the number of remote workers, the higher the number of new clients for cybersecurity companies there are. And this trend extends beyond just remote work. So there is definitely room for continued growth. Also, CrowdStrike widely leverages trending stuff such as AI and machine learning – it adds the points to the company in the eyes of investors. So, we have a fast-growing industry and one of the leaders in this industry. Can you name a more iconic duo? However, it's important to acknowledge that no company is without its drawbacks. For CrowdStrike, one such concern is the deceleration of growth in total revenues. The company's quarter-to-quarter performance might be a factor that discourages some investors. Despite this, CrowdStrike has a tempting consensus forecast, projecting a 16% increase in the next 12 months. Moreover, most analysts rate the company as a “‘Strong buy”. The abovementioned factors may speak in favor of buying the company’s stock, but it's essential to remember that market conditions can change daily. Therefore, conducting thorough research is crucial before making any trading decisions. This article was written by ForexLive at www.forexlive.com.

  • Bitcoin and Ethereum have further correction potential
    by FxPro FXPro on May 25, 2023 at 8:50 am

    Market picture The cryptocurrency market cap has fallen 1.6% over the past 24 hours to $1.10 trillion, back to the levels from which the market rebounded almost two weeks ago. At the same time, bitcoin is down 2%, Ethereum is down 2.2%, and the top altcoins are losing between 0.5% (Solana) and 3% (Cardano). Polygon (+0.8% in 24 hours) and Tron (+10% in 7 days) beat the headwinds. The price of Bitcoin dipped below $26K at the start of trading on Thursday, a level it has been consistently above since March 17th. Bitcoin enjoyed a strong rally in March and April amid fears over the safety of funds held by regional US banks. As this issue has faded from the headlines, cryptocurrencies have reversed into a correction. On the technical analysis front, the $25K level is seen as a critical stop on the way down, with little support found on the journey to that level. Ethereum has rolled back to the lower end of the last two months' range at $1777. A further move lower opens the door to $1700. News background The popular ChatGPT predicted that Bitcoin's 2024 halving would be the catalyst for a "massive bull run", explaining that the value of the limited resource is increasing with unchanged or rising demand. The International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) said that cryptocurrencies should be treated similarly to stocks and bonds because of their similarities. Reuters reports that cryptocurrency exchange Binance failed to keep separate corporate and customer balance sheets in 2020 and 2021, violating US financial regulations. Binance has denied the information. Elon Musk urged people "don't bet too much" on Dogecoin and not put all their money into the asset, yet he still said that DOGE is his favourite coin.

At the turn of the 21st century, gold embarked on a lustrous journey, from trading at a low of $277.10 in 2002, to touching a high of $2075 in 2020, amounting to nearly 11% compound annual growth rate and about 650% return in over 20 years, the latest analysis by Fxview reveals. The decade of 2002-12 saw the metal turn brighter by nearly six times, while the 10-year US treasury yield fell from 5.4% in 2002 to 1.3% by 2012. The average annual US CPI rose from 1.6% in 2002 to 3.9% in 2008, which to some extent supported the demand for the yellow metal, considered to be an inflation hedge. Following the 2008 financial crisis, the global GDP shrank about 5% from 2008 to 2009, which boosted the safe haven appeal of gold. Central bankers worldwide slashed lending rates with the US Fed bringing the overall rate down to 0-0.25% by December 2008. Altogether, the high-priced metal gained nearly 75% from 2008 to 2012. By 2013, with the announcement of a likely Fed tapering, treasury yields surged while the non-yielding metal began to slump and plunged nearly 40% between 2013 to 2015. Making a U-turn amid rising geopolitical tussles and an unprecedented global pandemic, bullion’s safe haven attraction started gaining momentum. It peaked at an all-time high of $2075.14 in March 2020, followed by a gradual recovery across economies and surplus money ensuing from pandemic-related stimulus packages. These corroborating factors caused the exuberance associated with the precious metal to subside and equities represented by the S&P 500 to rise by nearly 26%, while keeping the yield on the 10-year US treasury low, between 0.9%-1.5%. Next, bullion scored its second best at $2070.42 (March 2022) as a fallout of the Russia-Ukraine war. Investments in gold remained on a back seat in 2022, mainly due to the hawkish monetary policy observed by Central Bankers worldwide to combat inflation. The Federal Reserve embarked on its fastest ever rate hike cycle, increasing the overall rate by 450 bps in less than a year, rendering the non-yielding metal relatively unattractive. Although the level of inflation peaked by Q3 2022, several other economic parameters remained sticky, especially a tight labour market, warranting the need to continue monetary tightening. Stringent lockdowns in China, the largest gold consumer, further limited the metal’s upside in 2022. The way forward An impending recession and a rate hike pause are likely the key catalysts to drive the yellow metal’s growth going ahead this year. On the demand front, jewelry fabrication and industrial consumption is likely to take a hit. This shall be offset by demand for investment and reserve holding by central banks owing to the metal’s safe haven appeal. The World Gold Council’s estimate indicated a substantial jump in central banks’ gold demand in 2022 to hedge against any forthcoming financial crisis, while also signals an attempt towards dedollarisation by the economies, making the case stronger for gold as a safe-haven asset. (Source: World Gold Council) Macroeconomic and geopolitical tailwinds A deteriorating economic situation in the recent days has been highlighted by several factors including the following: ● Failure of several US financial institutions including the SVB, Silvergate Capital, Signature Bank and First Republic, in addition to the discount buyout of the ailing Credit Suisse ● Huge layoffs by mainly the tech firms. US unemployment rate rising to 3.6% in the latest estimate for Feb 2023 ● Rising cost of financing exacerbating upsurge in sovereign debt levels ● The limited effectiveness of monetary contraction in targeting supply-side inflation Deglobalisation Low inflation levels, which central banks are trying to target, were largely an attribute of a globalised world, as low-priced goods were produced by outsourcing to other economies. With a sense of deglobalisation plaguing the world’s nations, especially since supply chain performance reaching pre-pandemic levels by mere monetary contraction seems far-fetched, according to the Fxview analysis. With the risk of geopolitical tensions likely to persist, the outlook for gold is strengthened further as not just an investment alternative but a store of value. The war in the Eastern Europe being far from reaching an end, the intriguing bonhomie between Russia and China and the widening tensions between the West and China are some of the highlights of the current global paradigm. Technical outlook The precious metal recently moved higher past the $2000 psychological level but failed to close above the same. In the near term, it is likely to retest the zone, attempting to breach its all-time high of $2075/oz, which also corresponds with the 0.5 Fibonacci extension level. Gold is further poised to clinch a target of $2180, which is a key resistance level corresponding to the 0.618 Fibonacci level followed by a subsequent target of $2200 to be attained by H2 2023. Level of $2200 stands to be crucial, as it also falls in line with the historical growth rate of 11%. Furthermore, a surge to $2500 by H1 2024 seems plausible, although caution must be observed nearing $2337 (0.786 Fibonacci level). Caution must also be observed as the downside risk remains considerable due to strong fundamental factors in the short run, which can pull the metal down to its immediate support at $1930, followed by support level at $1834/oz, as shown below. Some of the macroeconomic headwinds include the continuation of a contractionary monetary policy by the Fed, recovery in financial markets and an easing of geopolitical tensions. The Federal Reserve has recently announced the creation of a Bank Term Funding Program to provide relief to eligible depository institutions struggling with liquidity in the near term, which led to temporarily allaying the concerns of a financial crisis. In this context, the outlook on gold is positive, as investor interest in the shiny metal seems to be improving in the longer term, bolstered by the current economic climate worldwide.

  • Mastering the Art of Safe and Sustainable Trading: Key Strategies for Traders
    by ForexLive on May 24, 2023 at 9:55 am

    Education and awareness are paramount to success in finance and trading. Regardless of their experience level, every trader can benefit from mastering the art of safe and sustainable trading. In this article, we will delve into key strategies and practices that traders can adopt to navigate the dynamic and sometimes unpredictable landscape of financial markets. Building a Strong Foundation Education plays a crucial part in their development as successful traders. This includes equipping retail traders with the knowledge, abilities, and resources they need to successfully navigate the complex world of financial markets. Education for retail traders cannot be understated and underscores the value of being familiar with risk management, technical analysis, and market fundamentals. It also provides helpful advice on how traders can improve their knowledge by attending respected courses, seminars, and mentorship programs. Understanding Market Fundamentals For retail traders, an understanding of market fundamentals is essential since it gives information about the underlying causes of price changes. Trading professionals may predict market swings and make wise selections by having a thorough understanding of economic data, geopolitical events, and fiscal policies. Traders can obtain an advantage in forecasting market movements and tactically placing themselves by keeping up with international news, economic reports, and central bank statements. Technical Analysis Technical analysis is yet another essential part of education for retail traders. Traders can locate probable entry and exit points in the market by examining price patterns, chart formations, and different technical indicators. Understanding market sentiment, spotting trends, and spotting patterns that could portend future price moves are all made easier with the help of technical analysis. With a firm understanding of technical analysis, traders may create profitable trading plans and make choices based on past price behavior. Risk Management For retail traders to protect their capital and reduce potential losses, risk management education is essential. For long-term performance, risk management strategies are essential. These include stop-loss orders, correct position sizing, and portfolio diversification. To safeguard themselves against market volatility and unforeseen events, traders must comprehend the concept of risk-reward ratios and use suitable risk management techniques. Knowledge Enhancement through Reputable Sources, Courses, and Mentorship Programs The wealth of resources available to merchants allows them to expand their expertise. Reputable sources, including scholarly journals, financial news sites, and trustworthy online platforms, provide a variety of data and market insights. Participating in specialist training courses and retail trading-specific training programs can offer thorough education and useful skills. Mentorship programs also provide invaluable advice and practical insights from seasoned traders, enabling beginners to learn from experienced experts. Embracing a Long-Term Mindset It is essential for traders to have a long-term attitude that puts emphasis on patience, consistency, and reasoned decision-making in the fast-paced world of trading. The advantages of adopting a long-term strategy over pursuing short-term gains cannot be understated. This encourages traders to keep their eyes on the broad picture and avoid being seduced by get-rich-quick schemes while highlighting the advantages of patience, consistency, and avoiding impulsive judgments. Support a Long-Term Trading Approach: Trading is a Marathon, not a Sprint Supporting a long-term strategy requires understanding that trade sustainability is a long-term process. Trading tactics should be improved, plans should be developed, and methods should be constantly used instead of just concentrating on short-term profits. Traders can avoid the problems of hasty decision-making and improve their chances of reaching consistent success by aligning their attitude with long-term goals. Patience is a Virtue It enables traders to watch for high-probability setups and prevents them from being influenced by transient market changes. Having patience helps traders evaluate the market impartially, spot real opportunities, and place transactions with assurance. The risk of unneeded losses can be decreased by traders practicing patience and resisting the impulse to make impulsive trades based on feelings or short-term market noise. Consistency is a Characteristic of Successful Traders Trading professionals build discipline and reduce the influence of emotional decision-making by sticking to a clearly defined trading plan and adopting a consistent strategy. Keeping a constant risk-reward ratio, position sizing, and trade execution strategy are all examples of consistency. Trading can be made more reliable and objective by cultivating consistent habits and routines, which will produce better long-term trading results. Avoid Impulsive Decisions Trading success might be harmed by impulsive decisions. Fear of missing out (FOMO) or the attraction of rapid gains can impair judgment and cause illogical behavior. Traders must be aware of the value of emotional restraint and refrain from acting rashly in response to fleeting market conditions or outside forces. Trading professionals can avoid irrational impulses and make decisions that are consistent with their long-term objectives by adhering to their trading plan and performing extensive analysis. Keeping an Eye on the Bigger Picture Having a long-term perspective helps traders avoid getting distracted by short-term swings and keep an eye on the big picture. Instead of focusing on immediate riches through get-rich-quick schemes, traders should place more emphasis on having a strong knowledge base, improving their skills, and progressively increasing their trading capital. Trading professionals may negotiate market turbulence and grasp genuine opportunities that are consistent with their overall trading strategy by keeping their eyes on long-term goals and adopting a patient and consistent approach. Psychological and Emotional Well-being Trading encompasses psychological and emotional factors that have a big impact on decision-making and overall success. It is not just about numbers and charts and it’s important to touch on the psychological aspects of trading and provides techniques for productive emotion management. Trading highlights the value of upholding discipline, engaging in mindfulness, and establishing reasonable expectations. Additionally, it emphasizes how crucial it is to keep a good work-life balance and prevent burnout in order to promote psychological wellbeing throughout the trading journey. Taking Care of the Psychological Aspects of Trading Trading requires negotiating the intricate interplay between emotions and judgment. Successful traders understand and deal with psychological issues including greed, overconfidence, and fear. Emotions have the potential to impair judgment, cause impulsive behavior, and obstruct rational thought. Traders can create successful ways to manage their emotions by recognizing and comprehending the impact they have on trading. Strategies for Emotion Management Emotion management requires discipline. Regardless of market changes or emotional urges, traders should follow their trading plans, risk management procedures, and established regulations. Discipline prevents impulsive behavior and makes sure that trading decisions are based on rational analysis rather than gut feelings. Another useful tactic is to practice mindfulness. Being mindful entails participating fully in the trading process and objectively evaluating thoughts and feelings. Traders who practice mindfulness are better able to step back from their immediate emotional responses, achieve mental clarity, and make defensible decisions based on a bigger picture. For trading to be emotionally healthy, it is essential to set reasonable expectations. Unrealistic goals, like expecting excessive profits quickly, can cause disappointment, resentment, and mental pain. Traders should embrace the long-term nature of trading, set realistic goals, and be aware of the hazards involved. In order to properly manage emotions and preserve psychological equilibrium during the trading journey, realistic expectations are helpful. Maintaining a Healthy Work-Life Balance is Important For psychological well-being in trading, maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential. Activities other than trading, like as spending time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, and exercising, aid in lowering stress and maintaining a balanced perspective. It offers a chance to unwind, refuel, and get a new perspective, which ultimately strengthens emotional fortitude and judgment. Burnout prevention is equally important. Trading can be mentally and emotionally taxing. Traders need to be aware of the symptoms of burnout, which include weariness, a lack of enthusiasm, and poor performance. Burnout can be avoided, and long-term psychological wellbeing can be promoted by implementing self-care routines, taking frequent breaks, and seeking help from a community of traders or mentors. Conclusion Safe and sustainable trading is a journey that requires continuous learning, discipline, and self-awareness. By focusing on education, risk management, a long-term mindset, and psychological well-being, traders can enhance their chances of success in the dynamic world of financial markets. As the trading landscape evolves, it's essential to remain committed to personal growth and adapt strategies aligning with one's financial goals.

  • Is Rivian ready for a comeback? Stock forecast for the next 12 months
    by ForexLive on May 24, 2023 at 8:25 am

    Rivian is a hyped electric car stock that has been in endless fall since its IPO. But the company’s new financial report pushed analysts to consider that the worst might be behind Rivian. Let’s try to examine if this is the moment when we can invest in stock on the lows and reach success. Rivian is a California-based company that produces futuristic electric vehicles – just imagine you are watching a movie released in 2000, about 2033. The firm went public in 2021, and its stock sharply rose right after the IPO. But then, a series of unfortunate events took place. We could say that times are tough for all markets at the moment. But comparing Rivian shares with the S&P 500 index is better. We clearly see – this is a problem with Rivian and not just general patterns. Also, you should remember that there are many factors influencing Rivian as well as other assets. In order to forecast future market movements, you can use the economic calendar. It will show you all the most significant economic events. Rivian’s earnings report for Q1 2023 gave rise to positive investor sentiment. In general, the company results are still far from a fairy tail, but several key indicators turned out to be better than expected. That’s why the stock hiked about 10%, although, after that, they adjusted to lower than pre-report levels. Firstly, the electric vehicles manufacturer showed better loss per share (yep, loss, not earnings) – it’s $1.25 against an estimated $1.59. Moreover, Rivian’s Q1 revenue simultaneously beat expectations ($661 mln against $652.1 mln) and increased by almost $100 mln compared to Q1 2022. Secondly, Rivian’s results turned out to be better than participants like Lucid, Fisler, and Nicola. Therefore Rivian might now rank higher in the eyes of investors. Thirdly – and it’s a big one – the company has not changed its plans to have manufactured 50,000 EVs by the end of 2023. This means that Rivian is going to produce more than double the vehicles in comparison with 2022. Among the other pluses, we can underline the continuing partnership with Amazon (AMZN stock) and cutting costs through the layoff of 900 employees (the last one is positive for the balance but also demonstrates that the company is still far from its peak performance). The other fact we should pay attention to is their bet on expensive models of electric vehicles. On the one hand, it may generate more profit, but on the other hand, customers can make a choice in favor of other manufacturers. The consensus forecast proves that most analysts believe in Rivian stock. It says that the shares have a “Buy” rating and might rise by 77% in the next 12 months. It might look like an offer you can’t refuse, but you need to remember that the stock has probably had the same prospects during many stages of its downfall. That’s why you should do your own thorough analysis before trading in any market. This article was written by ForexLive at www.forexlive.com.

  • Crypto Hits the Ceiling
    by FxPro FXPro on May 24, 2023 at 8:09 am

    Market picture The crypto market lost 1.8% over the past 24 hours to $1.120 trillion, returning to Monday's levels. The growth momentum of the previous day was not supported by the new portion of bad news about the debt ceiling, which launched a pull from risky assets. Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has lost 2.2%, Ethereum 2%, and the top altcoins have lost between 1% (XRP) and 5.8% (Litecoin). Bitcoin is trading near $26650 on Wednesday morning, near the lower end of its trading range since May 13. The upper boundary of this corridor, 27300, remains a significant upside hurdle. A simple scenario codenamed "what doesn't go up, goes down" could soon be coming to fruition in Bitcoin. Also on the bears’ side is that the former cryptocurrency is under the 50-day moving average, settling there long enough after the failure, and now former support works as resistance. BTC volatility has fallen to a five-month low. Last week, the narrow range of BTC quotations coincided with a meagre volume of transferred on-chain value. Most of the coins are "napping" in anticipation of higher prices. News background Since 13 April, following the activation of the Shapella hardfork on the Ethereum network, the volume of ETH in stacks has increased by 4.4 million coins. In total, 22.5 million ETH, or approximately 18% of the total supply, have been staked on the blockchain. Strike, a Lightning Network-based payment application operator, announced the integration of the Tether (USDT) into its platform. Bloomberg reports that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will officially allow retail investors to trade cryptos from June 2023. According to The Block, the share of trading volume on decentralised exchanges (DEX) has reached a record high, surpassing 22% for the first time amid the popularity of meme cryptocurrencies. Users are not waiting for them to be listed on centralised exchanges (CEXs) but are switching to DEXs to buy meme tokens. Government authorities could use the courts to demand access to funds in Ledger wallets connected to Recover's private key recovery service, the hardware cryptocurrency wallet maker confirmed but called such a scenario unlikely.

  • Crypto attracts buyer interest, but reversal needs proof
    by FxPro FXPro on May 23, 2023 at 10:31 am

    Market picture Crypto market capitalisation rose 1.4% over the last 24 hours to $1.138 trillion. After quiet trading on Monday, most gains came on Tuesday morning. The timing of the move is due to news on the US debt ceiling, where there is no deal yet, but Biden notes progress in negotiations. Ether is up 2.3% at $1856, with the top altcoins gaining between 0.3% (Solana) and 3% (Polygon). Bitcoin is up 1.6% over the past day to $27.3K and earlier today climbed close to $27.5K, the upper end of the range since the 15th. Despite the positive momentum, the daily timeframes remain bearish, with Bitcoin trading below $27.5K. According to CoinShares, investments in cryptocurrency funds fell for the fifth consecutive week to $32 million last week, with bitcoin investments down $33 million and Ethereum investments down $1 million. Investment in funds that allow shorts on Bitcoin fell by $1.3 million. According to Santiment, the number of BTC and ETH on exchanges has fallen to its lowest level in several years, which is seen as a sign of an attitude towards long-term holding. News background Mott Capital Management founder Michael Kramer warned that Bitcoin could fall to $20K. According to him, BTC is a leading indicator for all risky assets, so its decline would be negative for the stock market. Anthony Scaramucci, founder of hedge fund SkyBridge Capital, believes that the actual value of Bitcoin should now be $40K. According to him, we are now witnessing a global proliferation of BTCs, similar to what happened in the late 1990s with the rise of the internet. Cryptocurrency platform Bakkt is considering expanding its business in Europe in light of the Crypto Asset Market Regulation Act (MiCA) passed in April. Bakkt currently only offers services in the US. US lawmakers have drafted a bipartisan bill prohibiting the Fed from issuing the digital dollar (CBDC). Lawmakers cited Americans' right to financial privacy. This article was written by FxPro’s Senior Market Analyst Alex Kuptsikevich. This article was written by FxPro FXPro at www.forexlive.com.
