Crude Oil - global long-term bearish; 28 is the key for the bearish breakdown to be continuing (based on the article)

Brent Crude Oil AscTrend/Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Crude oil prices steadied in Asia Pacific trade on Wednesday having fallen to four-year lows in the previous session as investors continued to fret the effects of coronavirus on economic performance and, therefore, demand for energy. A fall in US stockpiles reported by the American Petroleum Institute on Tuesday may have provided some support to the market but between coronavirus and the price war between major producers Russia and Saudi Arabia, traders were otherwise preoccupied. Official inventory levels from the Department of Energy are due later. Overall risk appetite remains extremely weak, with local stock market fortunes mixed despite the boost given to Wall Street by proposed massive fiscal support for the US economy which could include simply handing over cash to millions of Americans. This proposed experiment in so called ‘helicopter money’ would be the largest example of the practise yet seen."
  • "This month’s effective freefall has seen crude prices return to lows not previously seen since late 2003. They’re now in some danger of erasing the entire rise from the lows of December 2002 when prices were just a little below $18/barrel. It seems unlikely that any modern-day producer could long tolerate those levels, but they’ll remain in play unless we see some broad near-term recovery in risk appetite."

Apple - secondary weekly/monthly correction within the primary bullish; 215 to 192 support to be broken to the primary bearish reversal (based on the article)

Apple stock weekly chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock is down ~25% from its February highs, as the spread of the novel Coronavirus rattles the stock markets and the broader economy. While Apple has outperformed the S&P thus far through the crisis, likely due to its growing mix of services (~30% of Apple’s profits), there is a very real possibility that the economy could slip into a recession, hurting demand for Apple’s increasingly expensive products. We estimate that Apple’s stock price could decline to levels of around $140 if its revenues fall by 15% vs FY’19, its margins contract by 100 bps, and its valuation multiple falls to levels of around 14x, down from around 19x at the end of FY’19".

DAX Index - Bearish breakdown to ranging market condition; 7,971 support is the key for the bearish trend to be continuing (based on the article)

DAX Index Weekly chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Much of the same can be said for the DAX 30. With the ECB following in the footsteps of the BOJ and Fed and the subsequent reaction of the indices last week, it would appear sentiment has improved somewhat, and investors may look to wade back into the market should risk trends improve further."
  • "That being said, forthcoming commentary from ECB’s Governor, Christine Lagarde, may be crucial in continuing the positive trend. She is slated to speak on Tuesday and will likely offer further insight on the central bank’s response to the crisis."
  • "Apart from commentary, forecasting the impact on upcoming data is near impossible as many of the readings are pre-outbreak so they do not encapsulate the debilitating effects of the coronavirus. Further still, many central banks and governments have become increasingly proactive in their policy decisions – opting to make announcements outside of the scheduled meetings. As a result, the outlook for the week ahead is neutral."

Crude Oil - weekly bearish breakdown with 25 psy support level for the bearish to be continuing (based on the article)

Brent Grude Oil by Brainwashing/Ichimoku system weekly chart in Metatrader 5

  • "Crude oil prices remained close to eighteen-year lows on Monday as administrations all over the world extended lockdown procedures to try and stem the spread of the coronavirus outbreak which has already seen energy-demand forecasts cut to the bone."
  • "The price of a barrel of crude has plummeted by 60% this year, the falls made worse by a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia rooted in the two major exporters’ inability to agree about production cuts earlier this month. Current reductions from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia only run on until the end of March."
  • "Even under current conditions investors and specialists seem to have trouble visualizing sub-$20 prices for any extended period. February 2016’s lows in the $27.57 area look like reasonable near-term resistance on the monthly chart, but the sort of sentiment revival needed to bring them back into view remains elusive."

Dollar Index (DXY) - bullish ranging to correction (based on the article)

Dollar Index (DXY) by Metatrader 5

Dollar Index (DXY) chart by Metatrader 5

  • "The US Dollar has notched an incredible surge over the last two weeks. In fact, the US Dollar Index, or DXY Index, is up a whopping 7% since its March 09 low. Greenback gains have been largely attributed to demand for safe-haven currencies recently dominating forex market dynamics.

    This has resulted primarily from sustained risk aversion amid the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to plague the world and paralyze economic activity. In response to economic fallout stemming from the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, global central banks have coordinated to provide massive amounts of stimulus via interest rate cuts and quantitative easing."

  • "After this morning’s eye-popping headline that the Fed announced unlimited QE crossed the wires, however, the US Dollar has begun to come under pressure. Specifically, the Federal Reserve revealed extensive new measures to support the economy like boosting purchases of Treasury securities and agency mortgage backed securities "in the amounts needed to support". In addition to unlimited balance sheet expansion, or QE-infinity, the FOMC announced a monumental change to its monetary policy arsenal: a new credit facility to purchase US investment grade corporate bonds off the open market – including US listed exchange traded funds (ETFs) like the iShares investment grade corporate bond ETF (ticker symbol: LQD). With the Fed ramping up asset purchases, and the market supply of USD circulating the financial system, the broader US Dollar is starting to pull back from three-year highs with the DXY Index trading at session lows."
