FXOpen Trader Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 NFLX Stock Price Falls Despite Subscriber Growth Yesterday, after the close of the main trading session on the stock market, Netflix reported to investors for the 1st quarter of 2024. The report turned out better than expected: → earnings per share: actual = USD 5.28, forecast = USD 4.52; → gross income: actual = USD 9.40 billion, forecast = USD 9.27. → The number of subscribers increased by 9.3 million (expected +4.8 million). However, NFLX's pre-market share price today is hovering around USD 580, about 6% below yesterday's closing price. Negativity manifested itself in: → disappointing forecasts for the 2nd quarter; → investors also did not like the decision to stop providing quarterly reports on changes in the number of subscribers next year. If NFLX stock opens today around the USD 580 level, then it would indicate that the market has moved down to the lower boundary of the parallel channel (shown in blue).

FXOpen Trader Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Commodity Currencies at Strategic Levels. What Can Affect a Breakdown Downwards? The decline in investor expectations regarding a change in the vector of the Fed's monetary policy contributes to the fall of not only European, but also commodity currencies. So, in recent weeks: AUD/USD has lost more than 200 points and is testing the extremes of 2023 near 0.6400 USD/CAD is trading at three-year highs and has managed to strengthen by 300 points What may affect the pricing of the main currency pairs on the market in the coming trading sessions: Speech by the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Austan Goolsbee (today at 17.30 GMT+3.00) Publication on the number of active drilling rigs from Baker Hughes (today at 20.00 GMT+3.00) Announcement on the base lending rate from the People's Bank of China (Monday at 4.15 GMT+3.00) USD/CAD The USD/CAD currency pair has come close to the important range of 1.3970-1.3800, above which the price has not risen since 2020. Technical analysis of USD/CAD indicates the possibility of a downward correction in the short term, since a dark clouds combination has been formed on the daily timeframe, the development of which could lead to a breakdown of yesterday’s low at 1.3740 and a further test of 1.3650-1.3620. If the upward movement resumes, the price may break through the recent high at 1.3840 and continue to rise in the direction of 1.3970-1.3880.

FXOpen Trader Posted Monday at 09:15 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 09:15 AM Bitcoin Price Bullish after Halving-2024 On April 19, 2024, a halving occurred in the Bitcoin network, resulting in the reward for the mined block amounting to 3.125 BTC. Historically, after the halving (which is associated with a reduction in supply), the price of Bitcoin heads to all-time highs. But, as Forbes reports, Goldman Sachs analysts warn against extrapolating the results of Bitcoin price movements after past halvings to the current moment. After all, back then, the halvings occurred during a period of loose monetary policy by the Federal Reserve, while this time the Fed is struggling with harsher-than-expected inflation. JPMorgan analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou are also cautious. “We do not expect Bitcoin price increases post halving as it has been already priced in,” they wrote. However, this morning Bitcoin is trading above USD 66,000, the highest price in a week. Adding to the market's positivity are rumors that the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong is going to approve spot applications for Bitcoin ETFs.

FXOpen Trader Posted Monday at 12:05 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 12:05 PM Hong Kong-listed Chinese Insurer Goes on Rally as Western Giants Retract The Asia Pacific region has once again become an area of great interest to investors and traders as some remarkable patterns of volatility have begun to make their presence felt. This morning, a few examples of Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies which have made headway are apparent as the Asia Pacific region's trading session spearheaded the beginning of the week ahead for financial markets. One such company is China Pacific Insurance, whose Hong Kong-listed stock is available for trading as a CFD on FXOpen's TickTrader platform. The company has made some remarkable headway over the past few weeks, culminating in a further acceleration in value toward the high point that it has reached today, placing it among the top risers across all markets globally. At the end of last month, China Pacific Insurance stock was at a low point, trading at 13.28 HKD on March 27, however, this situation turned itself around quickly, and throughout April so far, the stock has been increasing in value, reaching 15.91 HKD according to FXOpen pricing by 8.00 am UK time this morning by which point the majority of the trading day in Hong Kong was complete.

FXOpen Trader Posted Tuesday at 08:47 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:47 AM The Price of Gold XAU/USD Shows Strongest Fall in Almost 2 Years On Monday, the price of gold fell from USD 2,386 to USD 2,333 per ounce — this is the strongest drop in one day in almost 2 years, according to Bloomberg. On Tuesday morning in the Asian session, the price continued to decline, reaching USD 2,300 per ounce. This happened against the backdrop of: → easing tensions in the Middle East. According to Tehran's official statement, Israel received "the necessary response at this stage." → signs that the Federal Reserve will keep rates high for longer. One of the reasons for the intensification of sales can also be considered the desire to take profits by those who held long positions — we wrote about this in the post “The price of gold XAU/USD has reached an important resistance zone” on April 16. Nevertheless, the gold market continues to remain in an upward trend — since the beginning of the year, its price has increased by 11.5%.

FXOpen Trader Posted Tuesday at 01:34 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 01:34 PM Volatility in the Pound Is Rising, the Euro is Consolidating GBP/USD At the end of last week, the British currency fell sharply, testing a significant support level at 1.2300. The resumption of the downward trend for the pair became possible after some statements by British officials: On Wednesday, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said he expects a strong decline in inflation from next month. Dave Ramsden, Deputy Chairman of Markets and Banking, was also quite optimistic, noting that the recently published UK core CPI data was nothing more than a “glitch” in the deflationary process, and risks to sustainability and domestic inflationary pressures were beginning to recede. After such statements by British officials, expectations for a rate cut on the pound shifted to August, and since the Fed does not plan to cut the rate before September, the GBP/USD pair continues to suffer losses. GBP/USD technical analysis indicates further development of the downward trend, as the price has consolidated below the alligator lines on higher time frames, the AO oscillator is red and below zero. At the same time, before a new downward impulse, a corrective growth in the direction of 1.2420-1.2400 is possible. If pound sellers manage to refresh the recent low at 1.2300, the pair could test 1.2220-1.2140.

FXOpen Trader Posted yesterday at 08:58 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 08:58 AM Market Analysis: Gold Price Corrects Gains While Oil Price Regains Strength Gold price rallied above $2,400 before correcting lower. Crude oil price is rising and it could climb further higher toward the $85.50 resistance. Important Takeaways for Gold and Oil Prices Analysis Today Gold price rallied significantly above $2,400 and recently corrected lower against the US Dollar. It cleared a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,310 on the hourly chart of gold at FXOpen. Crude oil prices are moving higher above the $82.00 resistance zone. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $82.00 on the hourly chart of XTI/USD at FXOpen. Gold Price Technical Analysis On the hourly chart of Gold at FXOpen, the price was able to climb above the $2,350 resistance, as mentioned in the previous analysis. The price even broke the $2,400 level before the bears appeared. The price traded close to the $2,420 zone before there was a downside correction. There was a move below the $2,355 pivot zone. The price settled below the 50-hour simple moving average and RSI dipped below 50. Finally, it tested the $2,290 zone. The price is now correcting losses above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,417 swing high to the $2,291 low. It surpassed a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,310. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the 50-hour simple moving average and $2,330. The next major resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,417 swing high to the $2,291 low at $2,355. An upside break above the $2,355 resistance could send Gold price toward $2,400. Any more gains may perhaps set the pace for an increase toward the $2,420 level. If there is no fresh increase, the price could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,310 level. The first major support is $2,290. If there is a downside break below the $2,290 support, the price might decline further. In the stated case, the price might drop toward the $2,265 support.

FXOpen Trader Posted yesterday at 09:01 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 09:01 AM TSLA Share Price Up About 13% Despite Disappointing Report Yesterday, TSLA trading closed at USD 144.68 per share, after which Tesla reported its results for the 1st quarter: → earnings per share: actual = USD 0.45, forecast = USD 0.49; → gross income: actual = USD 21.45 billion, forecast = USD 22.2 billion. However, in the post-market, TSLA's share price rose approximately 13% thanks to Elon Musk's plans and statements: → We faced numerous challenges in Q1, including the conflict in the Red Sea and the arson attack at the Gigafactory in Berlin. We think the second quarter will be much better. → EV adoption rates around the world are under pressure, but electric vehicles will dominate the auto industry in the long term. We continue to invest in AI infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, Supercharger networks, and new products. → Production of new models will start at the end of 2024 — beginning of 2025 on existing production lines. The stock's rise after the report shows that optimism about the start of production of a new model that could be the most affordable in Tesla's lineup outweighed concerns about the poor report and increased competition. On April 5, we wrote that the price of TSLA could reach the psychological level of USD 150 per share.

FXOpen Trader Posted yesterday at 09:04 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 09:04 AM AUD/USD Rises Sharply on Inflation News The Consumer Price Index for Australia was released this morning. According to ForexFactory: → CPI in quarterly terms: actual = 1.0%, expected = 0.8%, previous value = 0.6%; → CPI in annual terms: actual = 3.5%, expected = 3.4%, previous value = 3.4%. Rising inflation figures suggest that the Reserve Bank of Australia's tight monetary policy may continue beyond expectations - which is why the Australian dollar has jumped higher relative to other currencies. Thus, from the minimum of the year against the US dollar, recorded on April 19, the Ausssie rose in price by more than 2%.

FXOpen Trader Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago Yen in Search of New Lows, Commodity Currencies at a low Start In recent trading sessions, the dollar has been trading quite differently to leading currencies. Thus, the yen is reaching historical lows, European currencies have managed to correct, and the Australian and Canadian dollars are testing strategic supports. USD/JPY The absence of currency interventions from the Bank of Japan and strong macroeconomic data from the United States are pushing the USD/JPY pair to new levels, above which the price has not risen since 1990. However, in the coming trading sessions the situation may change dramatically: Today at 15.30 (GMT +3:00) US GDP data for the first quarter will be published Tomorrow at 5.30 (GMT +3:00) a meeting of the Bank of Japan will take place, at which a decision on the base interest rate will be announced. This week, Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki issued what is now the strongest possible warning about the possibility of intervention. "I will not deny that these events have laid the groundwork for Japan to take appropriate action (in the foreign exchange market), although I will not say what those actions might be," the official said. According to technical analysis of USD/JPY, the pair is in a phase of exponential growth, which can be interrupted at any significant resistance. If a downward pullback begins, the price may drop to 154.70-1.53.60.

FXOpen Trader Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago META Share Price Collapses after Publication of Quarterly Report Just yesterday, META's stock price closed at USD 493.50, up approximately 40% since the start of 2024 and up nearly 300% since the start of 2023. However, following the release of Meta's quarterly report, its shares plummeted to USD 400 in post-market trading, representing a decline of more than -15%. It is noteworthy that the report exceeded expectations in some of the main indicators: → earnings per share: actual = USD 4.70, forecast = USD 4.32; → revenue: actual = USD 36.4 billion, forecast = USD 36.1 billion. However, investors were disappointed by plans for the coming months, as Meta said second-quarter revenue would be between USD 36.5 billion and USD 39 billion, below the average estimate of USD 38.24 billion. This could be due to increased investment in developing AI-based products , which do not yet generate income. At pre-market today, the META share price is around USD 418.
