The S&P 500 Level To Watch Is 2800 – Part 2

The sell-off in U.S. stocks may get uglier as President Donald Trump’s trade war escalates at a time when the market is far from cheap, RBC Capital Markets says.A 10% correction of the S&P 500 Index from its April peak to 2,650 is becoming more likely, according to strategist Lori Calvasina. The equity gauge is about 4% above that level. Investors should take a more defensive stance, with the firm upgrading utility shares, while cutting its recommendation on commodity producers, she said in a note to clients Friday.Should the index retreat to 2,650, that would erase half the gains from

Forex Relative Strength Analysis Report For Week Starting 6/2/19

Some of the world’s currencies are accepted for most international transactions. The most popular currencies are accepted for most international transactions are the U.S. dollar, the euro, and the yen. However, the U.S. dollar is the most popular. And in the foreign exchange market 90 of forex trading involves the U.S. dollar. Thus, when assessing the relative strength of the most popular currencies in the world, it’s always against the U.S. dollar, using the daily time frame chart.

The “major” forex currency pairs are the major countries that are paired with the U.S. dollar (the nicknames of the majors are in

SPDR Sector Relative Strength Analysis Report For Week Starting 6/3/19

Sector rotation is the action of shifting investment assets from one sector to another to take advantage of cyclical trends in the overall economy in an attempt to beat the market.  Sector rotation seeks to capitalize on the theory that not all sectors of the economy perform well at the same time because sectors of the stock market perform differently during the phases of the economic and market cycle.

For example, defensive sectors such as consumer staples, utility and health care stocks tend to outperform during a recessionary phase, while consumer discretionary and tech stocks tend to fare well during early

Visibility…

Following an interesting post of @whatsup today on which she asked about LISK blockchain and why it is so interesting since, apparently, it does not have what it seems to be a disruptive technology…

In the comments section of that post, there is one on which I fully agree 100%…

@jwolf states that, only at twitter, LISK has something like 183000 Followers… besides the technical aspects, not bad at all for a crypto located at the 39th position of the TotalMarketCap…

But, what about other cryptos… let’s say, what about Cryptos focused on DApps development, purely competitors of STEEM?

For instance, TRON is a relative “young” crypto project, younger than STEEM…but located at the 11th position of the TMC already, and I would say that this position is very solid…not like STEEM which has been losing positions month after month…

Besides EOS, I don’t think there is a better blockchain than STEEM in order to develop DApps and that’s why at the “State of the DApps website” the supremacy of STEEM is evident…

But man, STEEM keeps being invisible for the audience…

Do you know how many followers we have on twitter?

5634 followers?

106000 followers of the Steemit account…

Do you know how many there are at TRON?

424000 Followers?

Are we invisible for the audience? I’m afraid it is so…

If we want this Blockchain to success we should focus on improving this aspect more than any other…

Still so much work to do guys…I hope we can focus on marketing as soon as Steem Inc will deploy the expected Economical Changes by hardforking the blockchain…or, why not starting NOW?

Currency Analysis Report – 5/31/19…Swiss Franc Setting Up For A Position Trade

Swiss economic growth accelerated more than economists expected in the first quarter, joining the upturn seen across much of Europe at the start of the year.Even with the strong first-quarter showing, there’s downward pressure on the economy amid a global slowdown and escalating trade tensions that have hurt business confidence and demand. In Switzerland, the manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is at its lowest since 2015 and the KOF’s business situation index has fallen for five straight months.The Swiss National Bank has also warned of the likelihood of Switzerland suffering from the impact of trade tensions. One major repercussion could be

DowDuPoint…Guilty By Association

The threat of a global slowdown looms, due mostly to tough trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. And as usual, markets price stocks with the forward valuations in mind.Already, resource stocks are down in anticipation of slower economic activity ahead. Some companies tried to head off the decline in stockholder value by splitting up their units to realize the value of the parts. DowDuPont (DWDP – Get Report) split off Dow on April 1 but its shares keep falling.DowDuPont dipped suddenly in the last month, potentially due to nervousness over the reverse share split. More likely, markets are over-reacting

Ag Analysis Report – 4/21/19…Is Corn Forming A Bottom??? – Part 2

Ag Analysis Report – 4/21/19…Is Corn Forming A Bottom???

Despite China considering a U.S. request to shift some tariffs on key agricultural goods, despite price forming lower highs and lower lows, price was respecting short and longer term up trendlines.

In a record-breaking wet spring, flooding in key farming regions has caused unprecedented delays to planting, causing lower-than-expected inventory levels. In corn, 58% of the intended planting has been done, compared with 90% at this point historically. “Now the market’s in a situation where you’re going to have very low

? Coinbase Now Supports Cryptocurrency Token EOS

Major United States-based cryptocurrency exchange and wallet service Coinbase has added support for EOS, according to a press release on May 30.


The new addition is reportedly available for trading and storage in most areas covered by Coinbase, with the exception of the United Kingdom and New York at press time.


The announcement also notes that there are no transaction fees associated with EOS; the cost is instead paid in computing resources, such as a tax on RAM, CPUs, or network bandwidth. Users that run the network also earn EOS by contributing to the computational power needed to run transactions.

? Project Libra: Everything We Know About Facebook’s Cryptocurrency

The world’s biggest social media company appears dead-set on launching its own cryptocurrency.


Facebook has yet to announce plans publicly but media reports on its crypto ambitions have emerged over the past six months, painting a partial picture of how the social network wants to capitalize on blockchain technology.


In short, a team led by former PayPal president David Marcus is building an asset-backed cryptocurrency, one designed to operate within the company’s existing messaging infrastructure (WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger).


The most recent news on the project comes from the BBC, with the British outlet reporting that the cryptocurrency – called “GlobalCoin” internally – will launch in “about a dozen countries by the first quarter of 2020.”

? What to Expect at the SEC’s Blockchain Forum on Friday

At a fraught moment for government-industry relations, U.S. regulators and cryptocurrency insiders are sitting down for a meeting.


The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will convene its first FinTech Forum Friday at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., discussing a range of issues related to digital assets and distributed ledger technology (DLT). The speaker roster includes a dozen legal, financial and technical experts, as well as several key SEC officials.


Yet while some see an opportunity to air the industry’s concerns and get a better understanding of the SEC’s perspective, the forum comes at a time when some major crypto firms are taking a more aggressive tack.


“If you’re unhappy with bitcoin culture, sorry, you’re the problem. Bitcoin is better off without you—you’re not cut out for the challenges ahead. You’re not good under pressure, you’re too sensitive, and you lack conviction.”

Most notably, crypto startup Circle said this month it had laid off 30 of its employees, blaming “an increasingly restrictive regulatory climate in the United States” as one factor.

? State Farm and USAA Test Blockchain Platform for Insurance Claims Process

United States insurance giant State Farm and military-affiliated bank United Services Automobile Association (USAA) are testing a blockchain-based subrogation solution with real claims data. State Farm announced the development in an official press release on May 30.


The two insurance titans are using blockchain technology to automate and streamline the subrogation process in insurance claims.


The platform purportedly allows them to automatically compile total payments, net the balance, and conduct a regularly scheduled payment between insurers. State Farm states that the blockchain solution is being tested with real claims data.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

Today, we continued to test the resistance line at 0.43$ but we haven’t been able to stay upper and close a candle on that level. The correction is now starting and we already break 2 support line and we are now under 0.39$. Next support line is at 0.34$ so let’s hope this one will hold us.
