Interest Rates SigmaForex

• Interest Rates

Fed Funds Rate: Clearly the most important interest rate. It is the rate that depositary institutions charge each other for overnight loans. The Fed announces changes in the Fed Funds rate when it wishes to send clear monetary policy signals. These announcements normally have large impact on all stock, bond and currency markets.

• Discount Rate

The interest rate at which the Fed charges commercial banks for emergency liquidity purposes. Although this is more of a symbolic rate, changes in it imply clear policy signals. The Discount Rate is almost always less than the Fed Funds Rate.

• 30-year Treasury Bond

The 30-year US Treasury Bond, also known as the long bond, or bellwether treasury. It is the most important indicator of markets' expectations on inflation. Markets most commonly use the yield (rather than price) when referring to the level of the bond. As in all bonds, the yield on the 30-year treasury is inversely related to the price. There is no clear-cut relation between the long bond and the US dollar. But the following relation usually holds: A fall in the value of the bond (rise in the yield) due to inflationary concerns may pressure the dollar. These concerns could arise from strong economic data.

Depending on the stage of the economic cycle, strong economic data could have varying impacts on the dollar. In an environment where inflation is not a threat, strong economic data may boost the dollar. But at times when the threat of inflation (higher interest rates) is most urgent, strong data normally hurt the dollar, by means of the resulting sell-off in bonds.

Nonetheless, as the supply of 30-year bonds began to shrink following the US Treasury's refunding operations (buy back its debt), the 30-year bond's role as a benchmark had gradually given way to its 10-year counterpart.
Being a benchmark asset-class, the long bond is normally impacted by shifting capital flows triggered by global considerations. Financial/political turmoil in emerging markets could be a possible booster for US treasuries due to their safe nature, thereby, helping the dollar.

SigmaForex Pivot Calacuator

Pivot Calacuator

There are many ways to find support and resistance price levels, but one good and fairly easy to use "Pivot Points". You find them using a "Pivot Calculator"

Why use IT ? They are a long proven, reliable, widely used predictive tool that helps take a lot of the guesswork out of determining exactly where and when to enter or reverse a market position. When entering a basic simple entry, Pivot levels help to you determine in what direction you should go. And they will go a long way to calm fears when trading in real cash.

Pivot points, a technique developed by floor traders, help us see where the price is relative to previous market action.

Pivot Points: Pivot point is a level in which the sentiment of the market changes from “bull” to “bear” or vice versa.

Pivot Points:
P = Pivot
R1 = Resistance level 1
S1 = Support level 1
R2 = Resistance level 2
S2 = Support level 2
R3 = Resistance Level 3
S3 = Support Level 3

MACD with RSI:

The MACD proves most effective in wide-swinging trading markets.
Crossovers: the basic MACD trading rule is to sell when the MACD falls below its signal line.
Average Convergence/Divergence rises above its signal line.
It is also popular to buy/sell when the MACD goes above/below zero.
Overbought/oversold conditions: The MACD is also useful as an overbought/oversold indicator.
When the shorter moving average pulls away dramatically from the longer moving average (i.e., the MACD rises), it is likely that the security price is overextending and will soon return to more realistic levels.
Divergence: An indication that an end to the current trend may be near occurs when the MACD diverges from the security. A bullish divergence occurs when the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator is making new highs while prices fail to reach new highs.
A bearish divergence occurs when the MACD is making new lows while prices fail to reach new lows. Both of these divergences are most significant when they occur at relatively overbought/oversold levels.
Zero Line Crossovers: A crossing of the MACD line up through zero (the centerline) is interpreted as bullish, or down through zero as bearish.
Some analysts choose to buy or sell when the MACD goes above or below zero.
The RSI indicator ranges in value from 0 to 100, with numbers above 70 indicating overbought conditions and fewer than 30 indicating oversold

Signals to buy:
When the MACD rises above the Signal line & above Zero
When the RSI rises above 30
Signal to sell:
When the MACD falls below the Signal line & below zero
When the RSI below 70

Support & Resistance in Forex | SigmaForex

• Support & Resistance

Support and resistance levels are points where a chart experiences recurring upward or downward pressure. A support level is usually the low point in any chart pattern (hourly, weekly or annually), whereas a resistance level is the high or the peak point of the pattern. These points are identified as support and resistance when they show a tendency to reappear. It is best to buy/sell near support/resistance levels that are unlikely to be broken.

Once these levels are broken, they tend to become the opposite obstacle. Thus, in a rising market, a resistance level that is broken, could serve as a support for the upward trend; whereas in a falling market, once a support level is broken, it could turn into a resistance.
