The Baidu Crisis Could Be Over, Time To Buy Baidu? (based on the article)

  • "In response to the crackdown by the Chinese authorities over Baidu's search related advertising procedures, Robin Li, Baidu CEO, said that the company will be setting up a 1 billion yuan fund for future damage claims, should they arise."
  • "The Chinese authorities also instructed Baidu to change its advertising practices by the end of the month by adding risk warnings (I am assuming where applicable) to health related paid advertising. In addition, the authorities want Baidu to restrict the advertising load rate to 30% or less on paid advertising search results."
  • "Nomura Securities which has had a Neutral rating but a higher target price of $187 per share of Baidu for a while now is out putting a negative spin on the outcome of the tragedy, more than likely to justify their rating."
  • "Baidu shares are down almost 17% since their stellar earnings from a couple of weeks ago and down about 14% since the story broke first on rival, Sina.com’s website. The irony of the entire situation is that Sina.com itself has been in major violation of China’s anti-porn crackdown in the past and seems to be enjoying the shift in the authorities attention to Baidu."



From the technical points of view, Baidu shares is on daily breakdown with bearish reversal to be continuing and withweekly breakdown with the bearish reversal to be started. I think, it may be the time to wait for the key support level at 130.50 as the bottom to be tested, and after that only we may start to think about any "time to buy baidu" for example sorry.

Gold Lower On Follow-Through Selling and Profit Taking (based on the article)

"Gold prices ended the U.S. day session modestly lower Tuesday, on some follow-through selling from the shorter-term futures traders, after the solid losses seen Monday. Some profit taking was also featured. The recent rebound in the U.S. dollar index has also been a bearish “outside market” force working against the precious metals bulls the past few sessions. June Comex gold futures were last down $4.80 an ounce at $1,261.90. July Comex silver was last down $0.009 at $17.08 an ounce."


As we see from the chart above - the intra-day price (H4) is breaking 100 period SMA (100 SMA) to below for the ranging market condition: if the price breaks 1,256.72 support level to below so the bearish reversal of the price movement will be started up to 1,237.63 level to re-enter.

Forecast for Q2'16 - levels for Brent Crude Oil

Sergey Golubev, 2016.05.11 18:08

The Crude Oil is continuing with the bullish breakout in intra-day basis: the key resistance level at 46.75 is going to be broken by the price to above for the breakout to be continuing and with 48.25 as the nearest bullish target to re-enter. Anyway, the bearish reversal level is 43.30, and if the price breaks this support level to below so the bearish reversal of the intra-day price movement will be started.


If we look at the daily price so the price came to be very close to 30-day high at 48.25, and if this level will be broken by the price to above so we may see the daily bullish trend to be continuing.

Trading News Events: Bank of England Official Bank Rate (based on the article)

What’s Expected:



Why Is This Event Important:

Indeed, Governor Mark Carney may continue to argue that the next move will be to normalize monetary policy, but the central bank may sound increasingly cautious this time around as the U.K. Referendum clouds the economic outlook for the region.

Nevertheless, sticky inflation paired signs of stronger wage growth may spur a dissent within the MPC, and a split vote to retain the current policy may generate a bullish reaction in the British Pound as it puts increased pressure on the BoE to normalize monetary policy sooner rather than later.

How To Trade This Event Risk

Bearish GBP Trade: BoE Trims Growth & Inflation Forecast
  • Need red, five-minute candle following the GDP report to consider a short sterling trade.
  • If market reaction favors bearish British Pound trade, short GBP/USD with two separate position.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
  • Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit, set reasonable limit.
Bullish GBP Trade: MPC Adopts More Hawkish Outlook for Monetary Policy
  • Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long GBP/USD trade.
  • Implement same setup as the bearish British Pound trade, just in the opposite direction.
Potential Price Targets For The Release
GBPUSD Daily


  • Even though GBP/USD remains stuck in a narrow range ahead of the BoE meeting, the pair may make a more meaningful attempt to threaten the downward trend carried over from August, with the pound-dollar at a risk for a further advance as long as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) retains the bullish formation from earlier this year.
  • Interim Resistance: 1.4910 (61.8% retracement) to 1.4930 (38.2% expansion)
  • Interim Support: 1.3870 (78.6% expansion) and 1.3960 (50% expansion)
