Warren Buffett's Portfolio in 2019 - ahead of S&P 500 and NASDAQ weekly breakout (based on the article)


S&P 500 and NASDAQ weekly charts by Metatrader 5

  • "Following a tough fourth quarter that crushed his company’s net income, Warren Buffett’s portfolio has soared year to date. His stocks, which may not all have completely rebounded from their low points late last year, are enjoying the benefit of a vigorous market to start 2019. S&P 500 constituents rose 14.84% year to date, nearly erasing their fourth-quarter dive. Meanwhile, 45 of Buffett’s 48 stocks have posted gains."
  • "The swing to positive territory in the first quarter may also help earnings results at Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway. Due to accounting rule changes requiring the company to include variations in market value of equity investments in the calculation of net income, Berkshire posted a net loss of $25.39 billion in the fourth quarter. For the quarter of 2017, which did not include unrealized gains and losses in stocks, Berkshire’s net income was $32.55 billion."

Crypto News - Bitcoin: weekly bullish reversal to 200 SMA to above; 5,464 is the key resistance level (based on the article)

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) daily chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Bitcoin broke the $5,000 mark on April 2 grabbing the headlines across the globe. For traders, it was mainly about FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). It is natural to have this kind of feeling especially if one has paid attention to thepast performance of Bitcoin. Year-to-date it is up 34 percent. Since 2014, there have been several bull rallies for Bitcoin and each of this was stronger than the previous one."
  • "For the Bitcoin price, the 50-day Smooth Moving Average (SMA) (shown in pink color on the chart below) and the 100-day SMA (shown in green color) on the daily time frame are really important. The argument is that the crossover of the 50-day and 100-day SMAs is of critical importance. This is because it represents a buy and sell signal. History tells us that when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 100-day moving, it produces a solid buy signal. The last crossover occurred back in April 2016. The exit signal comes when the price drops below the 50-day moving average."

EUR/USD - possible breakout with the bullish reversal; 1.1372 is the key (based on the article)

EUR/USD Daily/Weekly Ichimoku charts by Metatrader 5

  • "A week ago, EUR bears were likely chilling their champagne bottles in anticipation of potential profits to be realized as of the close of trading this week. An ECB with a worsening economic outlook seemed to be a ripe environment for sharp losses. On Wednesday, when the ECB met, the markets grabbed onto the message that the ECB will consider whether it needs to mitigate any of the side effects from negative rates and the long-term bank funding “solution: known as TLTRO-III, but that was not enough to bring out the bears accumulation of shorts."
  • "Now, the EUR is moving to the highest levels since late March after forming a potential double-bottom low of $1.1184 per EUR on April 2nd (monthly opening range low)."

USD/JPY - daily bullish; 112 is the key (based on the article)

USD/JPY chart by Metatrader 5

  • "The Japanese Yen has returned to the defensive against the US Dollar after a period of daily-chart strength last week, with USD/JPY well illustrating the value of Fibonacci retracement levels to technical analysis. Between April 7 and 10 the pair retreated below the uptrend channel which had previously bounded trade since the lows of March 25. A surge in market risk aversion saw the Dollar and Yen locked in a ‘battle of the havens’ which the latter seemed to be winning. USD/JPY saw three consecutive days of quite heavy falls up to April 10. However, then Mr. Fibonacci took charge. USD/JPY’s fall duly halted at the first, 23.6% retracement level of 2019’s rise."
  • "That came in at 110.86 which, not at all coincidentally, was the intraday low of April 10. Since then the pair has edged albeit gingerly back into that uptrend channel and, perhaps as significantly, risen back into the important resistance zone composed of the previous significant highs. They were struck in early March."

Crude Oil - possible weekly bullish reversal; 71.84 is the weekly bullish reversal key (based on the article)

Crude Oil Brainwashing chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Our researchers believe Oil will come under pricing pressure over the next few weeks as consumers react to the higher gasoline prices. The recent price stall near $65 aligns with a key Fibonacci retracement level near $63.98 and we believe any further upside in Oil may be limited. Our researchers believe a downside price retracement will begin to unfold where Oil prices will fall to below $55 ppb initially and potentially target sub $50 levels eventually."
  • "The recent rally in oil prices from last 2018 was in-line with expectations that the US and global markets would recover after the deep price correction in Q4 2018. As the US stock market continues to rally towards new highs, we suggest watching Crude Oil, Transports and overall consumer activity to determine is a mild consumer recession sets up over the next few weeks. Our research suggests that Q2 is typically fairly strong for Transports and Oil. Q3, or the Summer season, is typically relatively weak. This fall into the old trader saying “Sell in May and go away”. We believe the rotation lower in Oil and consumer activity related to the higher oil prices may hit the markets a bit earlier this year and set up some incredible trading opportunities."

Crude Oil Will Find Strong Resistance Between $52~55 ppb.

Our Adaptive Fibonacci modeling system is suggesting Crude Oil may have already reached very strong resistance levels just above $50 ppb. It is our opinion that a failed rally above $55 ppb will result in another downward price move where prices could retest the $42 low – or lower. You can see from this Daily Crude oil chart that price has...
