    Protective Assets: Gold or Cryptocurrency?

    Goldman Sachs experts are confident that in the future Ethereum will be able to take the place of bitcoin as a means of saving. According to the bank, Ether has more potential than bitcoin, due to the extensive ecosystem and more diverse options for the practical application of this cryptocurrency.

    At the same time, neither bitcoin nor ether can yet overtake gold, which remains the leader among all defensive assets. Since cryptocurrencies, unlike gold, are too volatile, which is incompatible with the concept of a safe haven asset. However, experts clarify that gold can be viewed as a defense against inflation, and cryptocurrency – against inflationary risks.

    Moreover, the very competition between cryptocurrencies also prevents them from squeezing gold in the status of a defensive asset. And this is not the whole list of «disadvantages» of digital assets. For example, analysts at the Bank of Singapore consider volatility, low confidence and lack of regulation to be the main obstacles to the spread of digital assets as a means of saving. However, if these problems are solved, bitcoin and ether may well replace gold.

    Forecast for USD/JPY on July 8, 2021

    USD/JPY

    Yesterday, the yen traded in a 40-point range and closed the day at the opening level below the MACD indicator line. The Marlin oscillator strengthens the urge to leave its own channel downward.

    What is noteworthy: the dollar index rose by 0.19% yesterday, stock indices also rose in general (Dow Jones 0.30%), with the exception of second-tier stocks (Russell 2000 -0.70%). The Russell 2000 index is often a leading direction indicator for major indices. And in today's Asian session, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index is already decreasing by -0.57%. It is possible that investors' expectation of a fall in the stock market worries them a lot, this decline has been talked about more and more recently. But be that as it may, the surpassing yesterday's low of 110.41 opens the way to the first target at 109.80. This is the main scenario.

    On the four-hour chart, the price is holding back before hitting the 110.41 signal level. The price is below the balance and MACD indicator lines. Marlin is in the downward trend area. We are waiting for the attack in order for the price to go down.

    The alternative scenario is difficult. To do this, it needs to go above the MACD line on both charts. On the H4 it is 111.02.

    Pound - "Vaccine Champion": Prospects and Hopes for GBP

    The British currency remains relatively stable, trying to keep the gained positions and build up new ones. In the medium and long-term planning horizons, experts expect the pound to rise, despite its limited growth potential.

    Currently, the British currency has sunk slightly against the background of disappointing macro statistics. The GBP sales started after the publication of reports on UK GDP (0.8% with an expected 2%) and low industrial production (0.8% with a forecast of 1.5%). On the morning of Friday, July 9, the GBP/USD pair was trading near 1.3775, but later lost some of its gains.

    According to analysts, sterling is stuck among local lows, near the powerful support level of 1.3754. Experts believe that in the event of a breakdown of the strong resistance level of 1.3794, bullish sentiment will increase in tandem. While maintaining the moderate dynamics of the GBP/USD pair, it will remain within the range of 1.3754-1.3794. This assumption is partially realized, giving the pound hope in the medium term. However, by now the GBP/USD pair has fallen to 1.3763, leaving no attempts to rise.

    The British currency's hopes are supported by currency strategists Credit Suisse, who expect the GBP/USD pair to recover to 1.3940, and then to the round level of 1.4000. The bank emphasizes that in the near future, it is possible to form a peak in the area of 1.4000, the breakthrough of which will lead to an enhanced recovery of the pound.

    Positive sentiment regarding the prospects for sterling is supported by analysts at Credit Agricole CIB Research. The bank supports the "bearish" trend of the British currency, which will continue in the coming weeks. "The GBP has gone from an investment vehicle for generating 'Covid-19 vaccine alpha' in the FX markets to a hedge against the resurgence of the pandemic in recent weeks. The rapid fall from grace of the hitherto G10 FX 'vaccine champion' warrants a cautious stance on the currency in the near term," Credit Agricole CIB Research emphasizes.

    The popularity of the British currency is promoted by positive changes in the country's economy. The UK is on the way to an economic recovery, the signs of which are a shortage of labor and rising wages. It should be noted that the salary increase is the fastest since 2014. The continuation of the existing trend will force the Bank of England to curtail the monetary stimulus program, which will lead to the strengthening of the GBP.

    Earlier, at the end of 2020, the UK showed the worst economic result among developed countries, but now much has changed. At the moment, England is among the top 5 most vaccinated countries (67% of the vaccinated population). Success in immunization allowed the British authorities to declare the complete lifting of restrictions in a week and a half, on July 19.

    With regard to the target inflation rate of 2%, the Bank of England maintains the same position, the regulator believes that finding the indicator within 2% is quite natural. An increase in this indicator will require the regulator to curtail the monetary stimulus program. If the Bank of England does this before the Federal Reserve, the pound will receive an impetus for further strengthening in the medium term.

    Analysts predict an imminent collapse of bitcoin to $10,000

    Experts of the cryptocurrency market say that the current position of bitcoin is difficult to call stable, and soon BTC risks falling back to the level of $ 10,000 at all. Today, investors do not have a single reason to buy the first cryptocurrency or keep it in the portfolio.

    In their disappointing scenarios, analysts rely on historical data, when during the past falls, the value of BTC sank by 80%.

    Experts confidently call the current position of the main digital coin a collapse. Traditionally, this term is used to describe the fall of the cryptocurrency by 70-80%, which corresponds to the price range of $ 10,000-15,000.

    Recall that in recent months, the first digital currency has already fallen from a record $ 60,000 to $ 33,500. The main downward factor for bitcoin was pressure from Chinese regulators.

    Known for his indifferent attitude to the cryptocurrency market, Elon Musk criticized the blockchains of the main digital coin and Ethereum for the low transaction speed and high costs. At the same time, the founder of Tesla warmly supported Dogecoin and called it one of the most actively used digital currencies in the world.

    In general, analysts call the current situation of the cryptocurrency market today "the summer calm before the storm". The current dynamics of the bitcoin price with significantly reduced trading volumes are traditionally considered a dangerous signal. When the market is affected by an insignificant number of open positions – any minor incident can lead to a grandiose sale.

    Trading recommendation for EUR/USD on July 13, 2021

    Looking at the EUR/USD trading chart, one can see the amplitude price movement within the resistance area of 1.1880/1.1895, as if there is a cumulative effect in the market before a new round of acceleration.

    Sell signal
    Traders will consider this if the price is kept below the level of 1.1835, which will open the way to the support level of 1.1800.

    Buy signal
    Traders will consider this if the resistance area of 1.1880/1.1895 is broken, which will lead to further formation of a correction. In this case, there is no need to rush. We consider buying positions above the level of 1.1900, with a prospect of 1.1950-1.2000.

    * The resistance level is the so-called price level, from which the quote can slow down or stop the upward movement. The principle of constructing this level is to reduce the price stop points on the history of the chart, where the price reversal in the market has already occurred earlier.

    * The accumulation process is a price fluctuation in a closed amplitude, where at the moment of a breakdown of a particular stagnation border, a local acceleration in the direction of breakdown often occurs.

    Trading recommendation for GBP/USD on July 13, 2021

    As for the trading chart of the GBP/USD, it shows the price movement within the deviation of the level of 1.3900, where market participants still view it as resistance.

    Sell signal
    They have been considered by traders since yesterday, where sell positions may have already been opened. If no deals have been opened, it is advised to wait for the price to hold below the level of 1.3835. The prospective target is 1.3785-1.3750.

    Buy signal
    It is considered by traders as a prolongation of the existing correction, but entering the market will be possible after the price holds above the level of 1.3950, with a prospective target of 1.4000.

    What is reflected in the trading charts?

    A candlestick chart view is graphical rectangles of white and black light, with sticks on top and bottom. When analyzing each individual candle in detail, you will see its characteristics of a relative time period: the opening price, the closing price, the maximum and minimum prices.

    Horizontal levels are price coordinates, relative to which a stop or a price reversal may occur. These levels are called support and resistance in the market.

    Circles and rectangles are highlighted examples where the price of the story unfolded. This color selection indicates horizontal lines that may put pressure on the quote in the future.

    The up/down arrows are the reference points of the possible price direction in the future.

    Things to remember:
    Golden Rule: It is necessary to figure out what you are dealing with before starting to trade with real money. Learning to trade is so important for a novice trader since the market will exist tomorrow, next week, next year, and the next decade.

    Forecast for EUR/USD on July 14, 2021

    The euro fell by 83 points on Tuesday, which created some ambiguity in the technical interpretation of this movement.

    The high rate of decline, due to which the Marlin oscillator slowed down with a decline, on the one hand, forms a double convergence on the daily chart, on the other hand, the signal line of the oscillator has approached the lower border of its own channel and is preparing to overcome it.

    Here, theoretically, convergence may develop, for which the price needs to reach the March low of 1.1705, but the oscillator may continue to develop in the global descending channel, and then the price may reach the target level of 1.1465 and even 1.1300. But we consider this scenario as the main one. Thus, yesterday's low at 1.1772 is a signal level - price drift below it opens the target at 1.1705. Further movement to 1.1640 is possible.

    No peculiarities observed on the four-hour chart, there are no reversal signals, the price is below the balance and MACD lines, and Marlin develops a decline. We are waiting for the price at the nearest target level of 1.1705.

    Analysis of transactions in the EUR / USD pair

    A signal to buy appeared in the market on Wednesday, but it had to be ignored because it came when the MACD line was at the overbought area. And even if bearish traders set up short positions, EUR / USD did not go down, causing losses to investors.

    Trading recommendations for July 15

    Despite the disappointing report on industrial production, euro continued to rise on Wednesday, as traders were skeptical about the latest statements of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. In his speech, Powell hinted that the central bank will continue to adhere to a super-soft policy, which resulted in the weakening of the US dollar.

    Today, Italy will publish a report on CPI, but it is unlikely to affect the market very much. But the labor market data from US will be a driver for dollar growth, especially if the figure turns out much better than expected. There will also be another speech from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, but it may not add a significant effect on the market.

    For short positions:
    Open a short position when euro reaches 1.1819 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.1773. A decline will occur if Italy releases a weak inflation data, and if US publishes a strong labor market report. But before selling, make sure that the MACD line is below zero, or is starting to move down from it.

    It is also possible to sell at 1.1838 and 1.1876, but the MACD indicator should be in the overbought area, as such would trigger a market reversal to 1.1819.

    Important: Novice traders need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during the release of news, then always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes.

    And remember that for successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan. Spontaneous trading decisions based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.

    Analysis of transactions in the GBP / USD pair

    Several market signals appeared on Wednesday, but only one was successful. In fact, the first one, which was to buy, had to be ignored because it came when the MACD line was way above zero. Fortunately by afternoon, a signal to sell was formed, and it coincided with the MACD line being in the overbought area. Such led to a significant drop in GBP / USD.

    Trading recommendations for July 15

    Pound rose on Wednesday, thanks to better-than-expected data on UK inflation. And if the employment report today indicates another good performance, GBP / USD will surely continue its growth in the market. But in the afternoon, price may pull back slightly, if US releases a similar strong report on its labor market. There will also be another speech from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, but it may not significantly affect the market.

    For long positions:
    Open a long position when pound reaches 1.3847 (green line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.3890 (thicker green line on the chart). Demand will increase if UK releases strong growth in the labor market. But before buying, make sure that the MACD line is above zero, or is starting to rise from it.

    It is also possible to buy at 1.3825 and 1.3780, but the MACD indicator should be in the oversold area, as such would trigger a market reversal to 1.3847.

    For short positions:
    Open a short position when pound reaches 1.3825 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.3780. A decline may occur if UK releases weak data on employment. But before selling, make sure that the MACD line is below zero, or is starting to move down from it.

    It is also possible to sell at 1.3847 and 1.3890, but the MACD indicator should be in the overbought area, as such would trigger a market reversal to 1.3825.

    Important: Novice traders need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate.

    Investors abandon weakening USD

    According to data from July 13, the inflation rate in the United States reached 5.4%, a reading last seen in the 2008 crisis. However, the Fed stubbornly insists that such a high indicator will not last long. The time will come and they will no longer need to print money in such big volumes. Besides, interest rates will be raised sooner or later. According to most analysts, the first hike of the key rate may take place in December next year. However, it is quite difficult to make long-term forecasts as everything may change, especially since tightening monetary policy is not such an easy task. The same situation occurred in 2008 when the world economy was in the stage of recession, although not as significant as today. Back then, the Fed raised the interest rates only six years later. This is why economies believe that the tightening of the monetary policy will take place in 2023, that is, only three years after the start of easing it.

    Although the US economy is recovering the losses incurred during the quarantine restrictions and the market is obviously reviving, the economy is still too weak. It is reflected in both the US currency and on the yield of government bonds. It would be extremely naive to hope that big changes could occur in the coming months. Imported goods in the United States rose by 11.3%, which is why prices for consumer goods are also likely to grow. Interestingly, there are rumors that the real inflation rate in the country is several times higher than the official figures.

    The US currency declines not only due to a shaky economy but also because of an excess of money in the financial system. The money-printing press simply devalues it. Traders are not ready to invest in bonds that are not able to cover even half of inflation. Bearish sentiment is also swept across the bond market. As with the US dollar, the government bonds are now unpopular due to the fact that they continue to be issued in an unlimited amount.

    In the light of such events, demand for riskier assets is buoyant as traders simply do not have other options for investing. In search of profitable investments, many have now turned to the stock market, so we can expect new peaks from the main indices. According to the most modest estimates, stocks may jump by 12-15% in the coming months. Apparently, the biggest gainers are still the technological and biotechnological sectors, as well as the real estate sector. Venture capital investments have also reached unprecedented amount. Experts are quite curious to see how central banks will stop this wave without collapsing the markets at the same time.

    Against the background of rising prices, gold, which has always been an asset that protects traders from inflation, is rapidly recovering. As for oil, it is also steadily rising in value. As the US economy is getting back to normal, demand for commodities increases as well. Yet, the US dollar is gradually sliding down.

    Analysis of transactions in the EUR / USD pair

    Several market signals appeared on Friday. The first one, which was to sell, came at the time that the MACD line was going down from zero. However, it did not manage to produce a large downward movement, so the deal ended with a loss. All other signals appeared when the indicator was in the overbought or oversold area, so it was necessary to open positions in the opposite direction.

    Trading recommendations for July 19

    Data released last Friday did not affect the markets very much. In fact, even though the US released a strong retail sales report, euro did not succumb to a bear market.

    Today, trading should be quite calm, as there are no important statistics to be released. Upcoming statements from the Bundesbank, as well as housing data from the United States are unlikely to shake EUR / USD. Most likely, the pair will just remain in a horizontal channel.

    For long positions:

    Open a long position when euro reaches 1.1815 (green line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.1849 (thicker green line on the chart). Demand will increase if the European Central Bank announces that it would reconsider winding down measures to support the economy. But before buying, make sure that the MACD line is above zero, or is starting to rise from it.

    It is also possible to buy at 1.1799 and 1.1773, but the MACD indicator should be in the oversold area, as such would trigger a market reversal to 1.1815.

    For short positions:

    Open a short position when euro reaches 1.1799 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.1773. But before selling, make sure that the MACD line is below zero, or is starting to move down from it.

    It is also possible to sell at 1.1815 and 1.1849, but the MACD indicator should be in the overbought area, as such would trigger a market reversal to 1.1799.

    Analysis of transactions in the GBP / USD pair

    Several market signals appeared on Friday, but not all of them were as profitable as expected. The first one, which was to sell, managed to push GBP / USD down by 25 pips, but failed to bring the price to the target level of 1.3780. A similar story happened in the afternoon, but it was only on the third attempt that pound managed to hit 1.3780. All in all, the downward movement was around 40 pips. Then, at 1.3842 a signal to buy appeared, but it did not bring much profit.

    Trading recommendations for July 19

    Upcoming statements from the Bank of England could shake the markets today. In fact, just last week, several members changed their position, saying that the central bank now needs to reconsider scaling back support measures for the economy. If similar statements are announced today, pound will rise very sharply. Then, in the afternoon, there will be a report on the US housing sector, but it is unlikely to affect the market very much.

    For long positions:

    Open a long position when pound reaches 1.3769 (green line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.3837 (thicker green line on the chart). But before buying, make sure that the MACD line is above zero, or is starting to rise from it.

    It is also possible to buy at 1.3694, but the MACD indicator should be in the oversold area, as such would trigger a market reversal to 1.3769.

    For short positions:

    Open a short position when pound reaches 1.3743 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.3694. But before selling, make sure that the MACD line is below zero, or is starting to move down from it.

    It is also possible to sell at 1.3837 and 1.3769, but the MACD indicator should be in the overbought area, as such would trigger a market reversal to 1.3743.

    Simplified wave analysis and forecast for USD/JPY and USD/CAD on July 20

    USD/JPY

    Analysis:
    Analysis of the chart structure of the main pair of the Japanese yen shows that a hidden downward correction ended in the dominant wave of the bullish trend on July 8. The subsequent ascending wave structure has a reversal potential. The middle part (B) is nearing completion.

    Forecast:
    Today, the pair's price fluctuations are expected in the range between the opposite zones. In the first half of the day, pressure on the support zone is likely. By the end of the day, you can expect a change in the vector and a price rise to the resistance area.

    Potential reversal zones
    Resistance:
    - 109.70/110.00
    Support:
    - 109.00/108.70

    Recommendations:
    Trading on the yen market today is possible only within the framework of individual trading sessions in a fractional lot. Purchases from the support zone are more promising.

    USD/CAD

    Analysis:
    The direction of the short-term trends of the Canadian dollar since the spring of last year is set by the descending wave algorithm. Since March 18, the price has formed a correction in the form of a stretched plane. The quotes have reached the boundaries of a powerful reversal zone of the higher timeframe. However, there are no signals of an early reversal on the chart.

    Potential reversal zones
    Resistance:
    - 1.2820/1.2850
    Support:
    - 1.2730/1.2700

    Recommendations:
    In the coming day, the upward course of the price movement is expected to continue. A short-term decline to the settlement support is not excluded at the European session. Then you can count on the formation of a reversal and a change in the short-term trend.

    Forecast:
    There are no conditions for selling the Canadian dollar on the market today. Short-term sales with a reduced lot are possible from the support zone.
