Macdivergence
USDCAD ResistanceThe Cad is getting much stronger... The dollar had its time but the CAD should be taking over this week. There appears to be some resistance on the upside but a possible double bottom on the downside. Wait for the double bottom to break and then short. Also watch for the EMA's if they cross this is more signal to short, combined with the MACD Divergence there should be a drop of around 400 pips!
GBPCAD Divergence LongThe 1d chart on the GBPCAD is showing lots of divergence. The ADX is also falling indicating a large movement could be coming soon. With all the resistance there is a high probability that it will go long. Also the 4h 40 and 110 EMA are about to cross showing a great probability of a long. Both pairs are very weak right now so wait a little bit to see what goes happpens. So possibly a short term downtrend with a long term uptrend. AGAIN WAIT BEFORE YOU TRADE THIS PAIR. The weakness in both pairs makes it unpredictable. But in a few days to a week defiantly long.
USD/CHF Short, DivergenceAs shown, there are 2 things that will push it down. The MACD and the ADX. There is divergence in the MACD, therefore, there is already a ticking bomb to push it down. Also, in a book by Linda Bradford Raschke, we have a 10-bar divergence signal. The ADX is low, meaning that strong movement will be made, and with the MACD showiing lower highs than previous, There should be a strong movement down.
Looking for a short that wont go up as the S&P recovers? KODK is circling the drain. Their balance sheet and quarterly income is very unimpressive; they don't look like the books of a company on a rebound but rather a company winding down operations. Q4 2014 they had $260m~ assets over liabilities, that number is down to a scant $75m~. During the same period, cost of revenue is down about 17% vs revenue being down 'only' 13% but that's not terribly impressive.
Don't get me wrong, I like film cameras. Working in a dark room to print your own photos is great. But it is a niche market that doesn't match up with Kodak's half billion market cap (they don't even make cameras mind you!) The film market is dominated by Polaroid, toy cameras, and pre-owned sales. Film and paper are not a monopoly for Kodak in the 21st century with Fuji, Ilford and others long pushing Kodak out of frame.
This chart shows Kodak's next slide. The 1 day MACD is already breaking negative and the chart below is the 3-day MACD showing that the leveling/upturn from the start of this year is over. Kodak may as well have agreed to sell their wares exclusively at Radioshack. Much of what their current business is (business services etc) doesn't have the same economies of scale that Xerox and others have. They could have held some patents and licensed the remainder to get some revenue streams but it's too late now. Maybe Kodak is already "winding down" and doesn't want to acknowledge it publicly. They don't have to wind down to zero; they can still be a single factory film manufacturer, making a tidy profit for a few dozen employees. But a half billion dollar multinational? Sorry, but that image is fading fast.
Bottom line:
Buy put options for as far out as possible and sit on them---Take a higher strike price (>$8) if you are looking for a cheap bet, low strike price if you are looking for a super cheap bet.
Russell is lagging it's peers and is showing divergenceThis rally is looking a little long in the tooth. I am not ready to "call a top" but there is evidence of weakness in the small cap stocks. I do not like when small caps lag in a rally and we have IWM (Candle chart) and the QQQ (red line) lagging in a major way. If they turn over, do not underestimate their ability to pull down the rest of the indices.

Valeant Pharma: Moving back downVRX may, at first glance, look like the bloodshed is over and is moving to recovery. Not just yet. The daily MACD and StochRSI are inching toward sell indicators (see screenshot) and despite the markets upward movements today (Mon 12/14), VRX's recovery was pretty modest as more shareholders exit as they see the fall incoming.
Bottom line: Put options are a possability for short-term holding if you have the risk appetite. If you don't, then definitely wait to buy (back) in if you have been considering it. If you're holding this in hopes of shaving some of your losses or bought thinking it was recovery time, sell. Sometimes the most profitable thing you can do is take a loss.
VRX's financials aren't bad by any means, but they're product pipeline is pretty weak. Consider Addyi, the "female viagra": in the first month on the market only 224 rx's for it were sold. The market is very narrow since it is only considered safe in post-menopausal women who don't drink and think its pretty dramatic side-effect profile is worth the risk. VRX has even hired on a crisis-management firm in response to antipicated F.T.C action in regard to their pricing practices.
Valeant should have never reached as high as it did and now the correction is coming. VRX has been around a while but thier $31bln market cap is absurd. They have a price to earnings of 54(!), an earning per share <$2, and still have a fairly high debt-to-assets ratio. Compare those stats to Shire who is $38bln but have an earning per share of $15, and a price-to-earnings of only $12.21.

GBP/JPY DOUBLE TOP FORMING ON 1HR TIME FRAME?GBP/JPY IS APPROACHING SIGNIFICANT RESISTANCE AT 194.59, OFFERING A LOW RISK SHORT TRADE AS A DOUBLE TOP MAY POTENTIALLY FORM.
PRICE ACTION PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED THE 194.59 LEVEL WAS PROTECTED BY SELLERS, A REJECTION OF R1 AGAIN EXPOSES THE DOWNSIDE OF 190.97 (S1) - A BREAK OF THE SHORT TERM TRENDLINE THAT HAS FORMED WOULD ADD EXTRA CONFIRMATION OF FURTHER SELLING.
S1 OFFERS A GOOD PROFIT TAKING AREA AS IT IS THE 0.382 RETRACE OF THE ORIGINAL 185.00 (S3) SWING LOW AND THE 194.50 SWING HIGH (R1), A BREAK OF THIS LEVEL WOULD EXPOSE 189.20's.
THE 150 DAY MA HAS BEEN ACTING AS SHORT TERM SUPPORT FOR THE PAIR, A BREAK OF THE 150 MA, AND A CROSSOVER OF THE MA'S WOULD ADD FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF SHORT TERM SELLING. CURRENTLY THE SHORT TERM 16 DAY MA IS POINTING TO THE DOWNSIDE.
ORDERS ARE BEST PLACED JUST BELOW R1 AT 194.41, IF PRICE REVERSES PRIOR TO THIS LEVEL ENTRIES CAN BE MOVED TO THE AREA OF THE TRENDLINE BREAK - STOPS CAN REMAIN ABOVE R1.
SAFE TRADING.
Using an old method on daily BTCUSDI graphed the trend-line of the histogram for the MACD/Signal Line. There's a characteristic double peak (triple if you count lull in change of price movement after the big peak) that shows a trend reversal. This says to me a downward trend for the next few weeks at least. On the up side, the daily is still above a green (though thin) ichimoku cloud. This says to me we probably will see a fall in price, but a major crash would require a breach of the main support for this upwards trend.
Baidu Bounce to $240Short term bounce setting up. RSI and stochastics are almost oversold and there is some bullish divergence when looking at the MACD. Also 200 EMA is just below the current price along with support that has been in play for a while. Currently trading right on the 0.382 fib retracement. Anything could happen but it looks like BIDU is setting up
