Intra-day price on H8 chart is on bullish breakout for 9,714 resistance level to be breaking for the bullish breakout to be continuing with 10,000 psy level as a next bullish target.


  • "In September of 2014, in an interview with Fox Business, Tim Draper claimed Bitcoin would hit $10,000 USD in three years. To put that in perspective, Bitcoin was worth $413 USD at the time of the interview. Even strong believers in bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general were skeptical of such massive overall growth—particularly after the intense fluctuations the market, like the crash of 2011, in which the cryptocurrency declined in value by 94 percent."
  • "Well, today, Bitcoin surged past $9,000—having increased well over $2,000 in the last month alone—making that wild prediction of yore look a lot more like a safe guess (even leaving aside the value of Bitcoin Cash, currently hovering around $1,600 USD)."

Alibaba - daily ranging bullish; 191.53 is the key (based on the article)

Daily shares price is above Ichimoku cloud in the bullish raging within the following support/resistance levels:

  • 191.53 resistance located in the beginning of the bullish trend to be resumed, and

  • "Hong Kong-listed Tencent, famous for its games and WeChat messaging service, became the first Asian firm to break into the US$500 billion league last week - briefly overtaking Facebook as the world’s fifth biggest company by market value."
  • "Alibaba is just a few billion shy of joining its Chinese competitor at the top table of public listings - and is already there when taking into account its private affiliates. While the top five - Apple, Google’s parent company Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook - thrive across the world, the two Chinese firms have made their fortunes by cornering China’s own vast market of 750 million Internet users."
  • "Tencent and Alibaba do have a major advantage over American rivals because China severely restricts access to its Internet, with Facebook and Google kept outside the "Great Firewall." Alibaba, meanwhile, has dominated the e-commerce market, with Chinese consumers flocking to its shopping platforms to buy everything from laundry detergent to Boeing 747s."

  • "EURUSD: Retail trader data shows 29.4% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders short to long at 2.4 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 8.5% higher than yesterday and 8.7% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 0.4% lower than yesterday and 4.2% higher from last week. "
  • "We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-short suggests EURUSD prices may continue to rise. Positioning is less net-short than yesterday but more net-short from last week. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a further mixed EURUSD trading bias."

Crude Oil - daily ranging bullish; 63.96 is the key (based on the article)

Daily price is above Ichimoku cloud in the bullish area of the chart: the price is ranging within 63.96 resistance level for the bullish trend to be continuing with 64.63 bullish tarhet to re-enter and 61.06 support level for the secondary correction to be started.


  • "Crude oil: In recent weeks large speculators have been buying oil contracts at an extremely aggressive pace, bringing the net-long position to a new record last week of 596k contracts from 417k in the middle of last month. A modest reduction was seen in the most recent report, with the net-long declining by over 19k to 577k contracts. "
  • "The sheer size of the position is reason for concern for oil bulls, and the sharp run-up in a relatively short period of time makes price vulnerable to a pullback. It would be a healthy development, if crude is to continue higher, that we see a reduction in the position without too much technical damage done in the process. But for now, risk of a reversal and/or period of volatile trade at this time is elevated as positioning has reached an unstable level. This should favor the short-term trader looking for two-way price action to take advantage of."

NZD/USD Intra-Day Fundamentals: RBNZ Financial Stability Report and range price movement 

2017-11-28 20:00 GMT | [NZD - RBNZ Financial Stability Report]

[NZD - RBNZ Financial Stability Report] = Reserve Bank of New Zealand provides insights into the bank's view of inflation, growth, and other economic conditions that will affect interest rates in the future.

==========

From scoop.co.nz article :

  • "The New Zealand dollar was little changed, holding above 69 US cents for the second day, ahead of the Reserve Bank's financial stability report, which may signal an end to measures aimed at cooling the property market."
  • "The Reserve Bank is expected to reiterate that the financial system is in good shape but is likely to repeat that housing remains a risk and that it is keeping an eye on commodity prices, especially dairy. But it may also include some commentary on the effectiveness of macroprudential tools such as loan-to-value ratio restrictions, given there are signs that heat is coming out of the property market and it has previously flagged that market as a risk to financial stability."
  • "The report is released at 9am, with a media briefing at 11am and an appearance by Reserve Bank officials before the finance and expenditure select committee. Also out this morning is an announcement from the government on changes to the brief for the Overseas Investment Office, which may include a register of foreign buyers and restrictions on their activities."

Bitcoin/USD - bullish breakout; 11,522 is the next key target (adapted from the article)

Daily price broke trendline together with 9,988 resistance level to above for the bullish breakout. The price is breaking 10,798 resistance for the bullish breakout to be continuing with 11,522 as a next target to re-enter.


  • "This week, we are attempting to highlight a potential move in Bitcoin that could disrupt the global economy and more traditional investment vehicles. For the past few years, Bitcoin has been on a terror to the upside. Recently, a 30% downside price rotation caused a bit of panic in the Crypto world. This -30% decline was fast and left some people wondering what could happen if something deeper were to happen – where would Crypto’s find a bottom. From that -30% low, Bitcoin has recovered to previous highs (near $8000) and have stalled – interesting."
  • "While discussing Bitcoin with some associates a while back, I heard rumor that a move to Bitcoin CASH was underway and that Bitcoin would collapse as some point in the near future. The people I was meeting with were very well connected in this field and were warning me to alert me in case I had any Bitcoin holdings (which I do). I found it interesting that these people were moving into the Bitcoin CASH market as fast as they could. What did they know that I didn’t know and how could any potential Bitcoin blowout drive the global markets?"

Nikkei 225 - daily bullish ranging within narrow 22,795/22,210 levels for direction (based on the article)

Daily price is above Ichimoku cloud for the ranging within 22,795 resistance level for the bullish trend to be resumed and 22,210 support level for the secondary correction to be started.


  • "The index remains at first glance very much where it was; a shade below this year’s overall highs but certainly holding on at a relatively elevated level. However, appearances can be deceptive. For there have been some changes to the picture and they’re quite encouraging ones for any bulls out there even if they’re hard to spot. For one thing the trading range has narrowed somewhat, in that its base is now clearly a little higher. Last week we were looking at 21,853, now it’s more like 21,173. At face value this looks encouraging. Not only are we seeing “higher lows”, but the pattern looks broadly consolidative which may mean that the index pushes on higher once it breaks."
  • "Note that the index doesn’t look either oversold or overbought to any great degree at present. That is a probably welcome change from the situation in early November. Back then it was overbought with a vengeance. Now its Relative Strength Index has collapsed back to a sober 54, well below the exuberant 80-plus levels hit back then. The safety zone is generally considered to be between 30 and 70. That the Nikkei can look so relaxed at current levels is probably also a reassuring sign."
