ATFX Press Releases 2021

Not open for further replies.
With most cryptocurrencies creeping higher in the last few days, it looks like it is time for Bitcoin Cash, BCHUSD, to experience sharp burst of volatility.

Bitcoin Cash has been lagging behind Bitcoin (BTC) by significant proportions. The original coin was priced near $54500 at pixel time, and Bitcoin Cash was priced at $537. However, this is not stopping traders from trading Bitcoin Cash, as it is priced lower and offers a higher possible percentage return. Such as event might unfold over the next few days.

BCHUSD remains trapped in an ascending triangle pattern. The February 25 and March 3 highs of $558.45 form the horizontal part of the pattern, whilst we can connect the February low and March 5, 6 and 8 lows with an upward sloping trend line.

The difference between the horizontal level and the start of the upwards pointing trend line is approximately $125.54. The amount can be added to the lateral level of $558.45 to derive the pattern target of $684.93. The $125.54 move is equivalent to a 22.5% gain.

For the price to embark on this bullish path, the price would need to successfully break the level of $558.45, and afterwards not trade strongly back into the pattern. If the price indeed trades below $558.45 after a breakout, then the pattern would have failed.

Trading Themes Prospects in 2021

After the volatile year we had in 2020, it appears that 2021 is both the continuation of the old market environment as well as the start of a new one. . Entering the post- pandemic era, we are likely to see several changes such as an improvement in regards to the pandemic and the global economic recovery. It is expected that volatility will not change and is inevitable, which will create various opportunities that traders can profit from. We have grouped these opportunities into the top ten investment opportunities of 2021.

Reflation trading

Since last year, inflation expectations have continued to rise. In the new year, the market is flooded with a lot of liquidity under the background of global easing and unchanged stimulus measures, which means that inflation expectations will intensify. In January, the US 10-year Treasury bond yield rose above 1% and received widespread market attention, reflecting the increase in inflation expectations.

The bet on rising inflation is growing popular, and the yield curve of long-term bonds tends to steepen when long-term bond yields increase. Shorting long-end Treasury bond futures and longing short-end Treasury bond futures may become a viable option. Investors should pay attention to a sharp rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields, which may prompt the Fed to take control of the yield curve. Such expectations appeared frequently last year, and the Fed has publicly discussed this possibility.

When it comes to anti-inflation assets, the first assets we think of are commodities. Chief among them being gold, which has the most prominent anti-inflation characteristics. . We have already discussed the prospects for gold prices in a previous article, so we will skip that here. If the Fed decides to adopt yield curve control, the decline in long-term nominal interest rates could benefit gold significantly.

Inflation expectations superimposed on the economic recovery to promote commodity prices will be reflected in the rise of commodity-linked currencies. These currencies are more sensitive to the external economic environment and they include the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and the Canadian dollar. There is a corresponding upside as the three countries have performed well despite the pandemic, which may result in a good rate of return for investors. In addition, cyclical stocks regarded as high-yielding assets may also be favored. Finally, sectors such as oil, natural gas, steel and other similar sectors will likely follow the increase in inflation expectations and rally higher.

In the past, gold was considered the most sought-after metal among other precious metals, due to its combination of two basic values, namely the cultural and financial value. Gold has been an integral part of the world currency valuation during the twentieth century, as it was pegged to the US dollar until 1970.

Gold has always caused controversy and enthusiasm among investors in the global financial markets, given that trading in safe gold is considered compared to other financial commodities, so it is called by investors and traders the title of "safe haven" as gold has been able to maintain its position in the global markets by preserving for its value over the years and helping people build their fortunes from one generation to the next.

Although gold is always safe, there are some factors that affect the price of gold, including:
  • Central banks: As gold is closely linked with the interest rate of central banks through the various monetary policy decisions they take.
  • Jewellery industry and demand: The gold jewellery industry is still a big reason for increasing the demand for gold, so the price of gold increases due to the increase in demand for it by many different industries, and vice versa, the price of gold is affected if the demand for the yellow metal decreases.
  • Dollar: where gold is closely related to the price of the dollar in all its conditions, whether it is rising or falling.
  • Economic and political crises: Gold is used in periods of financial stress and political crises as a safe investment, as it has succeeded in preserving its value considering those crises.
  • Inflation: As gold becomes a stronger tool in cases of large inflation and recessions, so investors turn to it as a haven.
In addition to these factors, you should also choose a reliable broker with licenses from various regulatory bodies, as well as a broker that provides all services to support clients in various ways during their trading journey, to ensure that they enjoy an unparalleled trading journey.

The lull in GBP/USD continues to dominate, and if it lasts this whole week, GBPUSD would have been trading sideways for a full month. From a trend-following perspective, the lull is both good and bad.

It is bad because trend-following strategies lose money in these conditions. But it is good because the longer the price remains trapped in a range, the stronger tends the reaction be when a trend finally forms, allowing trend-followers to make strong gains.

The levels I am watching are the March 1, 3, 12, and 18 highs at 1.4007, and the 1.3792 level, the price bounced from the latter level on March 5 and 8, and 16. The difference between 1.4007 and 1.3792 is 215 pips.

As the consolidation over the last three weeks is in the form of a rectangle pattern, a break to the upper level of the pattern suggests that the price might be able to reach 1.4222, whilst a break to the lower level at 1.3792 suggests the price might be able to reach 1.3577. The trading pattern itself is neutral, meaning that the price might break either way.

However, if we look at the general positioning on the futures markets, then we see a trend change, as few and fewer are bearish the USD. The less bearish view on the USD was linked to the high in GBP/USD and EUR/USD earlier this month.  Given that the USD was the most oversold in 11 years, I think their outlook remains upwards for the USD, and hence downwards in GBPUSD.

Silver prices have just crashed to levels we have not seen since December, and there is a heightened risk we could see even lower prices in the weeks ahead. Driving silver prices lower are a strong dollar and higher US government bond yields.

Was it evitable?
Already on Thursday last week, silver prices tried to trade lower, but the bears’ attack was swiftly crushed. Today, it looks like they have succeeded in triggering a large descending triangle pattern with a target of 22.64.

The descending triangle was in the making since January 28. On that day, the price bounced from 24.81, and it also bounced from the same level on March 5. A downward sloping trend line goes via the February 25 and March 18 highs. The horizontal level and the trend line form the triangle, and it says that as long as the price does not trade firmly back into the triangle pattern, the price could reach 22.64. I think the March 26 high of 25.27 is probably as high as the price can trade before the pattern is void.

If we look at the short-term levels, traders will probably hold off with shorting at current levels. They will probably wait for a correction to at least 24.53 before turning bearish once again.

bl5805_image.png


What is driving silver prices lower?
The dollar’s strength is probably the single factor that is driving silver lower. The dollar index is now back at levels seen in November 2020. The reason for the dollar turning higher is that people are lifting US government bond yields from their record lows, as people now see a future without Covid-19. Also, the large US fiscal deal is increasing the likelihood of inflation down the road, and that also lifts yields, making it expensive to hold silver and gold.

What is interesting is that people will usually buy silver and gold to hedge against inflation. But today the focus is on the dollar. One explanation could be that positioning in the futures markets was extremely bearish until recently, with speculators not being this short of the USD for more than 11 years. Also, relative growth and inflation trajectory looks to top the European economy, which will put pressure on the EURUSD, and this should further depress silver prices.

The broker has a fully operational office in Mexico dedicated to serving its clients in the Latin America region and has hired qualified staff from the region.

ATFX has committed significant resources to ensure that its LATAM clients get the best services from a local team that understands their needs and can help make their trading experience the best.

The broker understands that its business model of having local teams in each region serving its clients is quite costly up front, but the long-term payoff will be worth it given that our clients will find a home with us.

ATFX is also committed to educating its clients on how to trade the markets, which is why it offers some of the best educational resources compared to other brokers. The firm also hosts frequent webinars with trading experts who educate its clients on trading the markets.

Today’s award is a culmination of all the different steps taken by the broker with the ultimate goal of making sure its clients have the best trading experience.

As a non-dealing desk broker, ATFX does not profit from its clients’ losses, which is part of the broker’s commitment to its clients. The broker does everything in its power to stack the deck in its clients’ favour because it wins when clients win.

The ATFX Representative from Mexico commented that:
“The award shows that other industry experts have noticed our commitment to providing the best trading services to our clients in the LATAM region and globally. ATFX’s business is built on our core philosophy of placing our clients’ needs above everything else. To ensure that our clients have the best possible trading experience, we focused on two key areas: trading services and our customer service. We serve our LATAM clients in their local language and ensure that they get the best trading services possible.”

“We would not have won this award without our LATAM clients and the trust they place in us to serve them as their FX and CFDs broker. We want to thank them for their continued support and reassure them that we will keep working hard to improve our services.”

The award was evidence of ATFX’s continued commitment to providing world-class products and services to traders and investors worldwide.
