Posted on October 14, 2019 at 3:35 pm GMT

The rally from the low of 13,373, failed to reach the April 2019 high of 14,239, but persisting positive signals keep it intact. The short-term oscillators reflect a stall in price. The MACD is deep in positive territory and has started to turn down, towards its red trigger line. The RSI, although having declined marginally [..]

Posted on October 3, 2019 at 3:35 pm GMT

UK stock index collapsed aggressively from the two-month high of 7,440 right through the simple moving averages (SMAs), erasing all gains that commenced on August 15. The MACD has distanced itself in the negative region below its red trigger line, reflecting the negative sentiment in the market. Yet, the upward slope in the RSI, which has deepened into the oversold area, warns traders that the move down is probably looking for a bottom. A significant move above the 7,050 level [..]

Posted on September 30, 2019 at 1:33 pm GMT

The short-term oscillators reflect a stall in momentum but favor a push lower. The MACD is only just below its red trigger line in the negative zone, while the RSI is in bearish territory pointing down after a deflection off the 50-level. Despite the consolidation period the negative signals [..]

Could Facebook’s Libra put central banks on the digital front first? – Special Report

Posted on September 27, 2019 at 10:31 am GMT

Facebook’s plans of launching its own cryptocurrency at some point next year raised the alarm in the central bank community, which already faces issues of meeting its objectives. However, what looks to be just an idea now, could turn into a competitive game and a pivot point to the means of exchange if regulators pull the trigger. What is Libra? Since the unanimous release of the famous Bitcoin in 2009, there has been little progress in making cryptocurrencies well-recognized and acceptable means of [..]

Technical Analysis – Facebook stock consolidates, cautiously positive in medium term

Posted on September 26, 2019 at 12:09 pm GMT

Facebook’s stock has been trapped within a sideways range between 193.0 and 176.50 since early August, painting a neutral outlook in the short term. A break in either direction could therefore determine the bias. Overall, the structure of higher peaks and higher troughs is still in play on the daily chart, keeping the bigger picture positive for now, though a break below 161.0 would bring that into doubt. Momentum oscillators support the notion that the short-term bias is flat. The [..]

The index has been in a two-week uptrend, during which it plotted a seven-week high of 27,312 from where the price inched down to test the uptrend line. The Ichimoku lines, Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, completed a bearish cross but signal no clear direction. The Chikou span is declining with the price, warning of a [..]

Posted on September 10, 2019 at 10:18 am GMT

Apple stock is edging higher ahead of the anticipated unveiling of new products later on Tuesday, including an updated iPhone. The company’s share price is trading around the upper boundary of an asymmetrical triangle and although the RSI and the MACD both reflect a bullish bias, the Stochastics are ready to print a bearish cross above the 80 overbought mark, signaling that a downside correction could be around the corner. Should the bulls close comfortably above the 215.00 ceiling and hence [..]

The price moved into a sideways market with upper and lower boundaries of 1203 and 1146 respectively.
