Apple - intra-day recovering (based on the article)


  • "Two weeks ago, Wall Street was in "Full Panic Mode" over Apple after companies that supply parts for the iPhone X reported weak demand. Apple dropped nearly 9% and Wall Street analysts warned that an Apple shortfall could trigger a broader stock market drop. Last week, in the midst of the panic, John Archer, one of my managers, bought more. After yesterday's earnings call, Apple is trading over $176, up almost 9% since Friday providing a master class in what it takes to be a great investor."
  • "At the top of the list of reasons for Apple's volatile stock price, I would put the barrage of articles quoting Wall Street analysts predicting a disastrous quarter. These analysts had come to their conclusion because companies in Apple's supply chain were reporting weak sales."
  • "Most analyst reports don't get much media coverage. But when it comes to stories about Apple, the media has a voracious appetite. When a negative Apple story can be sourced to multiple Wall Street analysts, you have the makings of a panic."

Gold Demand Trends Q1 2018 (based on the article)

GOLD/USD Weekly Chart by Metatrader 5

  • "World Gold Council, the market development organization for the gold industry, recently released their Gold Demand Trends Q1 2018 report. The report outlines a slow start to the year for gold, as demand dropped 7% year-on-year to 973.5t - the lowest first quarter in a decade."
  • "According to the report, stock market volatility sparked US inflows, but outflows in other regions. This kept gold prices muted and left investors lacking confidence on prices, weakening demand for gold. Other key highlights of the report include gold bar and gold coin demand falling 15%, a decline led by China, Germany, and the US. In addition, jewelry demand’s strength in the US and China offset a weak quarter in India."
  • "However, gold used in technology industries saw growth for the sixth straight quarter. Gold’s usefulness in memory chips and wireless applications continued to sustain a healthy demand."

Stock Market: S&P 500 - daily ranging near 200-SMA bearish reversal level (based on the article)

S&P 500

  • "The stock market’s sharply lower open on Thursday likely triggered more bearish strategies as the S&P 500 dropped almost 20 points below its 200 day WMA. Many bears thought that the S&P was finally going to have a decisive close below this widely watched level.  Those who are short going into the weekend are likely nervous but who is winning the tug of war between the bulls and the bears?"
  • "The daily chart of the S&P 500 shows Thursday’s early drop below the 200 day and then Friday’s strong close as a daily doji buy signal was triggered (see arrow). The daily chart still shows a descending triangle formation (lines a and b). A daily close above 2718 would be an upside breakout while a close below 2553 would project lower prices. The S&P 500 is still down 7.3% from the January high."
  • "The S&P 500 advance/decline line is still well above support at line d, and more importantly the March-April lows. Prior to the sharp market declines in the summer of 2015 and in early 2016 the A/D lines were in well-defined downtrends after forming a weekly negative divergence in May 2015."

Daily price is inside Ichimoku cloud for the ranging market condition waiting for direction; the price is testing support level at 1.2742 to below for the daily bearish reversal to be started.

USDCAD by Metatrader 5


  • "A strong Candian Dollar is emerging on the back of elevated crude oil prices and a weakening US Dollar on a soft CPI print for April. Now, the focus will turn to the US/CA 2Yr yield differentials to see if the CAD can make up even more ground. The key risk to further CAD strength appears to be overconfidence on a successful outcome to NAFTA talks and potentially rich pricing in of a May rate hike."
  • "The strong/weak table above that I also share on FX closing bell helps to visualize where there is broad strength in the FX market. Currently, the strongest currency is the Canadian dollar based on an equally weighted 5-day % change with the US Dollar as a close second. The weakest currency after the RBNZ and their new Governor Orr provided a message of patience is theNew Zealand Dollar."
  • "Price had appeared wedged between clean support at C$1.2803 and resistance at C$1.29 per USD. However, a swift move higher to C$1.2999 that was reversed provides swing traders with a strong resistance point to build a CAD long bias from. However, the US Dollar remains strong, so if CAD strength persists, GBP/CAD or EUR/CAD may be better plays."
  • "We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-short suggests USDCAD prices may continue to rise. Yet traders are less net-short than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current USDCAD price trend may soon reverse lower despite the fact traders remain net-short."
