Market Struggles For Direction
The Syrian strike over the weekend, and the official indication that “mission accomplished” and that was a limited one-off strike has spurred a little market reaction.

EUR/USD And GBP/USD Forecast – Monday, April 16
EUR/USD The EUR/USD pair had a volatile session on Friday, initially trying to break above the 1.2350 level, but then pulling back only to bounce again. By doing so, we ended up forming a hammer at the 50-day EMA, which of course is a very bullish sign. We still have the uptrend line and tact […]
February 2018 JOLTS Report: Positive Trend Revised Away
Last month I wrote that the January JOLTS report reflected very positive trends. Today they got revised away. As a refresher, unlike the jobs report, which tabulates the net gain or loss of hiring over firing, the JOLTS report breaks the labor market down into openings, hirings, firings, quits, and total separations. I pay little […]

Bitcoin’s Path To 250K
The United States, France, and the United Kingdom have carried out a series of airstrikes on the war-torn country of Syria. They have specifically targeted facilities that enable the Asaad Regime to carry out chem-warfare attacks.
