After the closing bell on Tuesday, Tesla reported its earnings for the first quarter of 2024. Despite the report showing a 9% YoY decline in total revenue and a staggering 55% YoY drop in net income, along with an increase in operating costs by 37% YoY, shares of the company soared more than 12% in the aftermarket. The price action, however, was not the same for...

Israel retaliated against Iran overnight, which saw the price of WTI crude oil jump nearly 4.5% before giving up some of its gains. Per media reports, three large explosions were heard in the country's south, and the U.S. official announced Israel successfully hit some of the targets, something Iran was quick to deny. Without regard for damages, it is already...

The S&P 500 Index has been edging lower for nearly a month, accompanied by a rise in volatility. From its all-time highs in late March 2024, the SPX has declined about 5.6%, which begs the question of a rebound. Interestingly, this week, several big names, including Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Tesla, are reporting their earnings for the first quarter...

Gold retreated over $100 from its all-time highs established earlier this month. Interestingly, this move down follows a pullback of similar magnitude in the U.S. stock market, which we have repeatedly referred to as a threat to gold’s spectacular performance; one minor detail to point out here is that this time around, gold seems to be falling in reaction to what...

While Bitcoin rose to new all-time highs this year, many altcoins seem to lag behind it, showing a somewhat similar dynamic to that observed between large-cap and small-cap stocks (where large and well-established companies managed to recover in the past year or so while their smaller counterparts have been struggling). In addition to that, it is often overlooked...

After failing to gain bullish momentum earlier this month (with a breakout to the upside from a triangle-like pattern), Bitcoin continues to trade erratically. Currently, it hovers around the $63,500 price tag, which appears close to the ascending trendline that connects peaks from December 2023 to mid-January 2024. If this trendline is broken to the downside, it...

Since the eruption of the war between Hamas and Israel in early October 2023, we have been occasionally reporting on some of the developments in the oil-rich region. In one of the more recent articles, we outlined how Israel’s deadly airstrike against Iranian generals in Damascus, Syria, was likely to provoke retaliation from Iran and its proxies. On Saturday,...

Gold saw a pullback of nearly $100 from a high of $2,431, followed by a slight rebound, dragging the price to $2,370 per troy ounce. This increasing volatility begs the question of the market’s state. To address this, we would like to note that the rising volume has been accompanying the increasing price, which is positive (and, indeed, quite impressive,...

The SPX retreated nearly 3% from its all-time highs following last week’s print showing a higher-than-anticipated Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March 2024. This marks a second consecutive month of accelerating CPI in the United States, which presents an obstacle for the FED in its more than two-year-long battle against inflation. Plus, it makes it increasingly...

Shortly after the futures market opened, gold reached our long-time-awaited price target of $2,300 and established a new all-time high at $2,305 before retreating slightly lower. We continue to be bullish on gold in the long term and believe it can reach significantly higher price tags ($2,500 and higher) due to future rate cuts, sticky inflation, and a weak U.S....

Last year in September, we analyzed Porsche's stock following its 2022 initial public offering. At the time, we noted Porsche's shares had great prospects in the long term and viewed a potential pullback in price as a great opportunity to buy this stock at relatively reasonable prices (judging by Porsche’s performance during its short life span on the exchange)....

The VIX’s structure with higher peaks and troughs became distorted after the FOMC meeting. Despite this being a positive development for the markets, it might be proper to stay attentive to the VIX for a couple more days to watch out for any potential rekindling of volatility. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of VIX. The yellow arrow...

Bitcoin broke to the upside from a triangle-like pattern but failed to gather enough momentum to ascend to new all-time highs. Subsequently, its price broke down below $69,000. Interestingly, the preceding rise was not accompanied by a drop in the number of Bitcoin addresses with balances exceeding 1,000 BTC (and also those exceeding 100 BTC), suggesting large...

After breaking above the ascending channel and reaching its highest value in nearly six months late last week, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil retested the upper bound of the channel during yesterday’s trading session. The outlook continues to look bullish on daily and weekly time frames. Nevertheless, multiple indicators flash overbought signals on...

Bitcoin continues to form a triangle-like pattern on the 4-hour chart. Its price is currently testing the upper bound of this pattern, and a breakout to the upside would be bullish in the short term. Nevertheless, whether Bitcoin will gather enough momentum to be propelled substantially higher from the current level remains to be seen. Illustration 1.01 ...

West Texas Intermediate crude oil has increased nearly 20% since the start of 2024 and is currently trading near $86.50 per barrel. The precarious situation in the Red Sea, production cuts by OPEC (and its allies), and the inability of the United States to bring more production online fast enough have greatly contributed to the rising oil prices in the past four...

Bitcoin has been experiencing significant volatility over the past two weeks, with its price oscillating around the $70,000 price tag. This pattern of sideways-moving price action starkly contrasts with the robust and consistent upward trajectory observed in the months leading up to Bitcoin’s recent all-time highs. In the previous update on Bitcoin, we outlined...

In the previous post on gold, we expressed our fears about the shiny metal amid a sudden spike in volatility and a slight drop in the U.S. market indices (accompanying the spike in VIX). Nevertheless, it did not take long for the volatility to falter and the fear to disappear among market participants. Quickly, the market leaped higher, and gold followed in...
