January 14, 2019 Published by

Investing has risk.  There is no two ways about it.  Some investments have very marginal risk while others have much more volatility, either way you need to take risks if you want to invest.

Two months ago I wrote a post calling the tops in the Transports,

I’m Calling The Top In The Transports

The charts are telling me the top is in on the Transports. The iShares Dow Jones Transportation, IYT, is exchange-traded fund that is highly correlated to the Dow Jones Transportation Average. The index includes companies within the trains, planes and auto…I mean trucking sector.

Last Week, Delta became the first airline to sound the alarm. Shares of Delta Air Lines finished 9% lower yesterday after they trimmed their revenue forecast for the fourth quarter. They also cut their growth estimate for revenue per

…I am speaking about TRON [TRX], which, despite the polemic created lately for the declarations done by a Former Director of the TRON Team, TRON has managed to grow from 300 to 846 satoshis in just 15 days…

Personally, after this great “campaign”, I have decided to sold part of my TRON stake, maximizing my BITCOIN benefits :-)… Following the “Money Flow”, TRON is falling towards the 61.8 FIBO level very rapidly… However, I would expect a deeper correction…

An Interesting Level for considering a new entry is 515 Satoshis . Will see.

Enjoy!

Bitcoin and EOS Technical Analysis: WEEKEND UPDATE

January 12, 2019 Published by

Bitcoin is consolidating right on top of the $3,600 support zone. Should price decisively break below $3,600, the next relevant area of support is between $3,400 and $3,250.

In my last EOS update, I pointed out the larger wedge it was consolidating in. I told you it would likely make a larger move as EOS approached the apex. The following day, price broke down from $3.00 to as low as $2.30. It then sightly rallied to the $2.45 support zone. EOS continues trading around $2.45 at the time of writing this update.

In today’s video analysis I discuss, where prices may be

Macy’s Missing The Mark

January 12, 2019 Published by

The day after Christmas there was a report that talked about spending during the holidays, the time between Black Friday and Christmas:

A robust shopping season from before Thanksgiving through Christmas has given retailers much to cheer about this year. According to Mastercard SpendingPulseTM, which provides insights into overall retail spending trends across all payment types, including cash and check, holiday sales increased 5.1 percent to more than $850 billion this year – the strongest growth in the last six years.

Apparently, Macy’s wasn’t part of that report. Macy’s said its sales slowed after a good start to the holidays, and flagged

Taking a Shot on a Spinning Top
There are many names for candlesticks and candlestick patterns.  Spinning top is one of them and it is what I am seeing on the daily chart of the SPX.
