This is the video recording of the June Options Conference Call with Sean McLaughlin & JC Parets.
Where did all the Bears Go? Uh oh…
The Tactical Trend And How We’re Trading It
We can highlight as many charts and Altcoins as we like to demonstrate where things could be leaning, but with most things in markets, less is often more.
In this case, it’s straightforward.
If 60% of the asset class, namely Bitcoin and Ethereum, can breakout from their current consolidations, the short-term trend is likely up, and it’d be wise to put some risk back onto the table.
Alternatively, if they cannot, and these patterns resolve lower – we should anticipate messier action for longer.
[Options] Monthly Positions Review — May
Once again this month, I’m going to share info on positions that were closed in the month of May. As a reminder, our exit plans are always laid out ahead of time in each trade idea we publish. In every case, the exits mentioned below were all exited in accordance with the plan as laid out. [Read more…]
Polkadot’s Canary In The Coal Mine
To gauge any market trend, we must look under the surface at the components themselves.
This is true for Stocks, Commodities, Bonds, and even Cryptocurrencies. It’s Universal.
For instance, when discussing Smart Contract Platforms like Polkadot or Ethereum, we evaluate whether the bulls are diving deep into the projects of the other offerings in the ecosystem.
This is Technical Analysis 101, and it goes back to Charles Dow in the 1800s looking for confirmation of the major averages.
Over 130 years later, in entirely new assets, the same principles govern markets.
In this case, we’re looking at Polkadot’s first project release and Canary Network, Kusama $KSM.
Similar to how Litecoin is seen as the experimental little brother to Bitcoin, any new additions to be implemented on Polkadot go through Kusama first.
For this reason, the two trade very much in tandem.
So how about this divergence?
Under The Hood (06-01-2021)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza.
Welcome back to our latest “Under The Hood” column for the week ended May 28, 2021. This report is published bi-weekly and rotated on-and-off with our “Minor Leaguers” column.
What we do here is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.
We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names. There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: A list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.
Watch this video for a “behind the scenes” look at our process.
Whether we’re measuring increasing interest based on large institutional purchases, unusual options activity, or simply our proprietary lists of trending tickers… there is a lot of overlap.
The bottom line is there are a million ways to skin this cat. Relying on our entire arsenal of data makes us confident that we’re producing the best list each week and gives us more optionality in terms of finding the most favorable trade setups for our clients. [Read more…]
Is the Dollar About to Get Pounded?
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza and Ian Culley @Ianculley
The US Dollar remains at crucial inflection points versus both emerging and developed currencies.
In last week’s note, we pointed out the critical 19 level in the WisdomTree Emerging Currency Fund $CEW, along with the numerous tests of support in our custom USD vs. BRICS Currency Index.
Not only is the USD looking increasingly vulnerable against emerging and developed currencies, but we’re now starting to see some of the major Dollar crosses break down or resolve lower.
In many cases, these moves are confirming long-term reversal patterns with USD/CAD. For example, the Dollar just broke to fresh multi-year lows relative to the Canadian Dollar.
We reviewed the chart in this column a few weeks back, highlighting the possibility of an impending double top.
