Posted on March 1, 2022 at 10:50 am GMT

Investors and stock markets are bracing for multiple rate hikes by the Fed in 2022 as an effort to tackle the persistently high inflation in the United States, which reached a four-decade high of 7.5% in January.

Technical Analysis – US 500 index gaps lower as rally deflects off Ichimoku cloud

Posted on February 28, 2022 at 10:14 am GMT

The US 500 stock index (Cash) has gapped back beneath its 50-period simple moving average (SMA), throwing some doubt into whether the bounce from the nine-month low of 4,106 could sustain optimism in the market. The Ichimoku cloud has taken the wind out of the index’s sails, and it appears that a swift overturn of the recent damage resulting from the Ukraine attacks, may likely take longer to offset. The falling SMAs continue to endorse the short-term bearish trend. Meanwhile, [..]

Posted on February 24, 2022 at 10:42 am GMT

Japan’s 225 stock index (cash) joined the Ukrainian-led global stock sell-off on Thursday, though less forcefully, with the price currently fighting to stay within the bearish channel despite its flash drop to a 15-month low of 25,557 earlier in the day. The RSI and the Stochastics are signaling oversold conditions, but until the indicators start to show clear signs of improvement, the bears may keep leading the market with scope to reach the nearby support region of 25,300 from November 2020.
