ON THE AIR with ForexAnalytix

I had a great time with Dale Pinkert over at F.A.C.E. a couple weeks ago. It has been awhile since I have shared my thoughts with an audience in that way. Dale and I go way back so we gist a bit but the chat kept us on topic LOL. You can see the highlights on Instagram already if you follow us there.

Jump to the 24:40 mark to hear my thoughts on:

  • $EURGBP in a failing rally that is still playing out this week
  • $GBPJPY buy opportunity
  • How the almighty dollar has been a both a winner AND a loser
  • And, venture capital in Africa. I’m grateful to Dale for honoring my growth into other asset classes and his willingness to learn about them all. This is why investors and traders, alike, love to speak with Dale.

Some of these ideas are in our clients’ portfolios. To understand which ones can work for you or for help to invest for your own wealth, talk to our advisors at FM Capital Group. Would you like more information on Investment Advisory, Portfolio Services, and VC? Schedule a meeting with us here.

ON THE AIR with The Trader’s Vibe

Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking with a new traders community. Led by Carl Burgette, The Trader’s Vibe is a new weekly video podcast series where Carl interviews notable and prominent traders every week. To be considered notable and prominent in this business is truly an honor so I was happy to join him on the show. As with any new community, we spent much of the time talking about my background and how I entered into finance (which is a very unorthodox path, to say the least). Of course, we talked markets and what I was seeing at that time in the GBP. However, this was the first time that I was asked about how I’ve been treated as a woman in the business and my thoughts on bringing more women and people of color into finance.

Catch my episode of The Trader’s Vibe below. Enjoy!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

Today, I spoke live with over 200 traders in the Forex Analytix Community Experience (F.A.C.E.) about what the opportunities are in GBP for the new trading week ahead. With multiple pairs ending the previous trading week at major support levels, there were several great opportunities to share with traders live in the market on camera. That’s always great. I hope everyone who caught me live is doing some trade management now on those trades. We have some great moves already in the $GBPUSD and $GBPJPY. In case you missed it, do study the replay below.

Is the Yen Telegraphing More Risk Ahead?

The $GBPJPY took a beating over the past 2 weeks since topping out at the major 140.00 resistance level. Last week, in particular, after a bounce off the Fibonacci levels, the $GBPJPY found sellers again, this time, at the 136.46 resistance level. Sellers pushed price lower from that resistance level to end last week at 131.73, just ahead of the 131.55 support level.

As the new trading week opens and gets underway, the $GBPJPY has remained above the 131.55 support level. But taking a look at the weekly chart, we see that the selloff last week has really just been a correction lower right into the 50% Fibonacci level at 131.95. If risk aversion subsides this week, the $GBPJPY could bottom here and begin to rally. A rally in the $GBPJPY could signal a rally in stocks as markets are willing to take on more risk aversion.

A move back above 140.00 targets the 123% Fibonacci extension at 143.34 which also finds confluence with the 143.78 resistance level. A move below 131.55, however, signals a move lower towards 124.00. And this would see stocks continue to languish and possibly accelerate lower. Keep your eyes on yen!

ON THE AIR with FUTURES with Ben Lichtenstein

Last week, I was back on the air with Futures with Ben Lichtenstein. Since we are still in the new year season, it was a great segment that they produced as a trip around the world in currencies. Starting with the U.S. dollar, Ben and I talked about the fundamentals that are really driving currency flows in the market right now.

This morning, traders were greeted by news that the EU and UK trade talks are deteriorating. I actually mentioned this fundamental risk last week in my segment with Ben. Check out more of my thoughts on all the major currencies below. My accuracy coming to fruition this week is even amazing to me 🙂

Enjoy the show!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

I was happy to be back with Dale Pinkert at the ForexAnalytix Community Experience last Thursday morning. But super bummed that we got cut off due to technical difficulties. It was my fault (note to self: always charge up the computer before a show).

Amongst our forex talk, Dale and I also started talking about the coronavirus’s possible effects on the markets. As of last week, the markets had not really reacted to the news. However, I mentioned that I thought we would see a sell-off eventually induced by the coronavirus outbreak. So I welcome today’s price action. I don’t think it is a time to panic. It is a time to put orders in place and trigger your trading and investing plans.

Enjoy the show!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

On Monday, October 14, 2019, I joined Dale Pinkert on the Forex Analytix Community Experience to speak about the rally in the GBP at the end of the last trading week. I spoke about how the GBP had much more room to run given how the new turn of events in Brexit has changed the fundamental landscape for the GBP.

Unbelievably, all of my calls made on Monday have already been hit and this trading week hasn’t even ended yet. Better yet is news that hit the wires this morning that the EU has accepted the UK’s deal. Now, it is in the hands of the UK Parliament. Keep eyes on how this plays out. It will most certainly drive market flows in the short term for the GBP.

Check out also my levels and technical analysis during my segment and enjoy the show! Make sure you watch to the end to hear my commentary on the S&P 500 and equity markets.

ON THE AIR with Futures with Ben Lichenstien

I ended the trading week this Friday morning on the TD Ameritrade Network talking as one of the guests on the Futures with Ben Lichenstein show. In light of the surprise resignation announcement of UK Prime Minister Theresa May hours before I went on, it isn’t any wonder that Ben and I discussed the Brexit, the implications of another prime minister resignation brought on by the Brexit, and what effects all of this will have on the forex markets.

We also talked about the rise of risk aversion in the markets and what that will mean for the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen as safe haven currencies. But the one safe haven that I did not mention this morning is the Swiss franc. Luckily, Dayo already wrote an analysis yesterday looking at the current trend in the $EURCHF. So read that and watch my interview below for an understanding of the new fundamental landscape in the forex markets heading into the summer trading months.
