Bitcoin Breakout
We're seeing a solid breakout in Bitcoin today, a refreshing change from previous false starts. This movement hints at a potential retest of major highs. My strategy focuses on finding a way to engage with this breakout on a shorter timeframe.
Dollar Index Dynamics
The Dollar Index (Dixie) finally showed some movement after a period of stagnation. While it's a modest breakout, it's a sign of potential upward momentum. Interestingly, this hasn't impacted equities as one might expect, a puzzle I'm eager to solve.
Currency Trades
Euro vs. Pound: I took a bullish position here, betting on a break of a downtrend line.
Canadian Dollar vs. U.S. Dollar: Another bullish bet, aiming for continuation into key support zones.
Equity Market Overview
The S&P 500 hitting new highs contradicts the typical bear market narrative, with semiconductors leading the charge. However, the Dow's struggle and mixed signals from smaller caps present a complex market picture.
Community Engagement
I value the interaction with our followers on Twitter, where discussions extend beyond the blog, offering deeper insights and perspectives.
Trading Strategies
I focus on identifying failed breaks of support or resistance, a method that suits the current market's temperament. These setups offer clear risk-reward scenarios essential for short-term trading success.
