GBPUSD Price: Following Recouping From The Low, British Pound Anticipates Upward Momentum GBPUSD Price Analysis – December 1 The pound had a positive prior week as traders anticipate to build the scenario for buyers to step in, and now it seems likely to continue on the upside. If we can exceed the crucial level on the level at 1.3012, it is likely that the pound sterling takes off towards the level of 1.3185, and then possibly even the level of 1.3301 depending on the extent buyers push the FX pair. Key Levels Resistance Levels: 1.3301, 1.3185, 1.3012 Support Levels: 1.2768, 1.2582, 1.1958 GBPUSD Long term Trend: Bullish In the longer term, the increase from the level at 1.1958 is viewed as consolidation from beneath. A new advance towards resistance on the level at 1.3301 may be seen. At the moment, this may continue to be the preferred scenario as long as the level at 1.2582 resistance turned support stays intact. However, the firm break of the level at 1.2582 may shift the target towards the level at 1.1958 low and further beneath. The outlook stays bullish, displaying an intact uptrend in the short and long-term. GBPUSD Short term Trend: Bullish GBPUSD remained in consolidation since hitting the level at 1.3012 in the prior week while the trend is unaltered. The initial bias may stay neutral initially for this week. The retracement may be limited by the level at 1.2768 support. Although on the positive side, the break of the level at 1.3012 may reactivate the entire rally from the level at 1.1958. However, the break of the level at 1.2768 may advance a further plunge to the level at 1.2582 resistance turned support. Source: https://learn2.trade

The 419 plan is that you send money to get 100% profits of what you send in less than 50 minutes. They ask you to send more money once you send first amount. They don’t have any website. Even if they do, they can pull it down. They have no physical office. They claim you cannot comment cause of spamming, but they often remove members (who can’t comment). Needless to say, those members have been scammed or realized they’re criminals and instead, they think his presence in the group is no longer needed. They appear religious. They use multiple phone numbers belonging to part of their groups to give fake testimony, to deceive people. Alerts shown are money from fools who send money to them. They’re not from investors who get paid. You join them or they add you. People should start massive campaigns against these idiots who come in different investment names. The public should be warned. TO REITERATE This is a scam. They have duped many people.... Promising to double their money everyday. If this was possible, every Nigerian would be rich. They are smart liars and a group of fraudsters, who will do everything possible to convince you they're genuine and God-fearing. Once they collect your money, they remove you from their group. You can't even comment so that others won't know they're criminals. Those who share fake testimonies are part of a large group of the scammers... And they're the ones that can post.. In order to deceive people that this is real. The alerts they show you are actually alerts of funds sent by their victims (mumus/magas, who want to become rich by having their monies doubled). They're now targeting WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook and Instagram, looking for victims to join them. The go as far as hacking social media accounts so that they can deceive and lure your friends and family by posting the scam business, as if you had tried and trusted them (thus ruining your reputation). Now ask yourself, would a legitimate business hack people’s accounts so that they can get more clients? Would they add you to their groups without your consent? They have no websites and no offices... Sometimes, their written English is terrible. Even if they do, they can always pull the websites and move offices and remove their SIMs. You can only PM the admin that will eventually block you once they succeed in stealing your money. And they are desperately looking for more victims. Please run for your life.

This is another scam business on a WhatsApp group. Their WhatsApp number is: +234 706 194 7833 They will look for your number and add you to their WhatsApp group without your permission. They will then ask you to leave the group if you don’t like what they’re doing. The moderators are maniacal criminals who would quickly remove you from the group if you ever question what they do, and also private message you to abuse you (PM, DM, PC). Unlimited 100% Fixedgame promises to give you numbers that win sports bets 100% of the time. They say you cannot lose because they have access to secrets of fixed matches. But you need to send money to get the numbers to do sports betting games. Send money to them at your peril… They remove you quickly from their group afterwards. Mission accomplished. If they know numbers that could win 100% of the time, why can’t they and their family only play the game and become rich? Why must they spend a lot of time and energy persuading people to be rich? These scoundrels use many means to dupe people, but it boils down to, “SEND MONEY TO RECEIVE MONEY.” They have many cousins, like Assured Wealth Management, Lavita Ricca Investment, and others.

USDCHF: Upside Momentum Attempt At Parity Losses Steam, Running Into Sellers USDCHF Price Analysis – November 26 The USDCHF reached a new daily high of the level at 0.9987 at the start of the European session but failed to maintain momentum as investors refrained from taking important positions pending further developments on the trade dispute between the United States and China. At the time of writing, the pair was up 0.07% on the day on the level at 0.9970. Key Levels Resistance Levels: 1.0231, 1.0126, 1.0027 Support Levels: 0.9869, 0.9798, 0.9659 USDCHF Long term Trend: Bullish Overall, only the medium-term trend stays neutral, with USDCHF remaining in the range of the level at 0.9659 / 1.0231. In all cases, a decisive break of the level at 1.0231 is needed to indicate a recovery of the uptrend. Otherwise, a more parallel trend may lead to another plunge. Meanwhile, the support break of the level at 0.9890 may instead target support on the level at 0.9841. The outlook is bullish, displaying yet an intact uptrend in the short and long-term trend. USDCHF Short term Trend: Bullish The USDCHF is losing ground from the upside, as shown by the 4-hour RSI. But with minor support intact on the level at 0.9949, the intraday bias stays slightly higher. Consolidation starting on the level at 1.0027 should end at the level at 0.9869. A new advance may be seen to test the level at 1.0027 again first. While a break there may resume its total advance from the level at 0.9659 to retracement from the level at 1.0237 to 0.9659 to 1.0126. On the flip side, a break of the level at 0.9949 minor support may tip the balance forward to extend the consolidation with another foot down. Instrument: USDCHF Order: Buy Entry price: 0.9964 Stop: 0.9890 Target: 1.0231 Source: https://learn2.trade

Tips On How Best To Handle Bitcoin Market Crashes In a scenario where the price of Bitcoin is crashing, what would be the best reactions to take? Below are a few things an investor can do to weather the storms of a market crash. Maintain a Calm State of Mind Trading Bitcoin mandates that one has a disciplined mind state, meaning that your emotions must be in check at all times. Allowing your emotions to cloud your judgment in unfavorable market conditions is never the best option and in most cases, ends in disappointment and regrets. What you should do instead is take a break, evaluate what is happening and make logical decisions. Most times, it is best to do nothing rather than taking an action that might end up going against you. Try Not to Obsess Sitting in front of your screens all day is not going to change anything happening in the markets. Spending time making analysis and plotting charts is fine, but don’t waste hours obsessing over the predicament you might be facing. It is advisable to engage yourself with something more constructive. However, if you still have to trade, select a limit order and move on to something else. Do Not Lose Focus of the Main Aim The fact that Bitcoin may be facing a crash at a time does not mean that the overall demand for Bitcoin is gone, it is usually just a temporary downturn. The crypto market possesses the most assorted investor base of any other sector, it is safe to say that the market will almost certainly bounce back. Always adhere to your trading strategy. Do not let the current situation drive you to make drastic trading decisions only for the market to turn around days later, causing you further losses or opportunities. The crypto market is an extremely erratic playing field and huge plunges and rallies are always expected. Source: https://learn2.trade

The pair exited the prior week higher at the level 1.2940.

Malta’s Financial Authority Raises Alarm Of New Scam According to a report filed on the 31st of October, the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) has alerted the public of a Bitcoin scam. This new scam bears the same qualities as another scam that has been spotted in the past. The MFSA has cautioned the public to avoid the body called ‘Bitcoin Future’ which seems to be displaying similar deceptive properties as another known as ‘Bitcoin Revolution’. The MFSA has already released 2 public warnings this year on Bitcoin Revolution. The report points out that these scam projects seem to always reappear on the internet as ads, after changing their labels to shield them from getting spotted. The regulatory authority stated that the ads sold fake promises like “a way to build your life better” and “a unique opportunity for Maltese”, and directed the public to a precise webpage where the fake ads were being sold. As a disclaimer, the MFSA has said that Bitcoin Future is not recognized as a legal corporation in Malta, does not have permission to deliver financial services in any way to the country, and does not conform to the transitory provision concerning Article 62 of the Virtual Financial Act of Malta. To sum it up, the regulatory body has said that Bitcoin Future seems to be a global “get-rich-quick” scam and has advised its citizens to desist from engaging with it and that those who do would be doing so at their own risk. The report also consisted of a link to an authorized list of financial entities that have been certified by MFSA, and procedures to identify if a service provider is a scam or not. New Strategy and Alliance by the MFSA In September, the MFSA broadcasted a scheme for vigorously monitoring and managing risks on cryptocurrency corporations. The strategy, which will span from 2019 through 2021, disclosed that the regulatory body plans on upgrading their approach and will be working directly with the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit, also with other global authorities. Sometime this year, the MFSA contacted CipherTrace, a blockchain security corporation, to oversee cryptocurrency-related activities in the country and to battle fraudulent activities and terrorism financing.

Brexit Aftermath: The Market Reaction Of Bitcoin, Gold And Pound Sterling To Headline News In The EURO Zone After the UK made it public to exit from the EURO bloc, the market cap for Bitcoin and Gold has increased almost by $133 billion and $1 trillion. Is this the Brexit aftermath? As it is, the end may be near for Brexit. In the recent declaration an accord is reached between the British government and the EU, everyone is on the lookout for the final date Brexit will conclude. And based on this scenario, an analysis is drawn on the aftermath of this separation in the politics of the EURO bloc and the effect on the price of Bitcoin, Gold and pound sterling. Bitcoin: Since the start of Brexit, Bitcoin’s market cap had spiked higher and recovered about $10 billion worth. Before Brexit, the cryptocurrency of the first choice had been stable in price after crashing to a market cap of about $2.9 billion low around January 2015. However, after the crash, the cryptocurrency had spiked to about 300% within 18 months while the next super halving of the project is expected on the network from 25 to 12.5 fresh Bitcoin’s per 10 minutes. As of mid-2016, the most liquid GBP market was the London based Coinfloor exchange. The exchange did around 772 Bitcoins’ worth of volume that day, valued back then at around $4.9 million, with data from the technical back end at the Trading view. The Pound Sterling: The British national currency had crashed by almost 20% on the night of the vote after hitting a momentary high of about $1.5 versus the USD for about 8 months. Since crashing to a low of about $1.2 as at March 2017, the Pound sterling had rallied 6% within a 4-week time frame, after the UK parliament decided to vote and activate the Article 50 while then the Brexit journey began for the UK taking it two years to discuss its planned exit from the EURO bloc. Gold: The safe-haven asset also spiked higher around the same time frame from mid-March to mid-April 2017 with its price rising about 7% versus the USD. Nevertheless, this scenario didn’t play out on Bitcoin as in March 2017, beginning with its price at $1000, Bitcoin had surged to hit an all-time value of about $1300, as a result of markets expectation for a Bitcoin ETF being endorsed. However, after its nullification was declared on 10th March 2017, the cryptocurrency fell to a low of about $888 which occurred concurrently with the UK’s law passage for its exit from EURO bloc. Ever since then as the UK’s Brexit discussions with the EU raged on, so did the Pound against the US-dollar and Bitcoin gained more to its price. Bitcoin, Gold, and Pound Sterling Reactions to Brexit During this timeframe transversing Brexit discussion and its process, the Pound lost the majority of its 15% gains recovered, to tumble from a high of $1.43 to hit $1.20 on 3 September. In a similar multi-day timeframe, gold broke out of its basic $1400 resistance level to rally 15% versus the US-dollar. While Bitcoin gained higher, then again, stayed on the level around $8,000—yet the genuine story of those 17 months incorporates the cryptocurrency crashing towards $3,000 (December 2018) preceding the move spiking to a high of almost $14,000 in June this year.

Despite Running To The Highest Close In Six Months, GBPUSD May Fail To Reverse GBPUSD Price Analysis – October 20 The GBPUSD had closed on Friday above its opening price after recovering from early selling pressure and trending higher for the 4th day consecutively in a row.

The Economic Proscription of U.S. Farmers by China Maybe Forever Similar to a black eye on the face, it’s placing an indelible imprint. The retaliatory levies by China over U.S. commodity producers, such as soybeans, which seem to be forever. The moment such happens for the market it becomes irreversible. It’s a dread numerous farmers from North Dakota to Mississippi have recognized for as far back as last year. They worry that they’ve put millions in soybean development on account of China. Since Chinese focus is now transferred towards Brazil rather, that market might be gone forever. Once the confidence merchants have in the U.S. declines as a steady provider because of the trade dispute, the more vital its important for them to support and further broaden other avenues. The developing danger for American agribusiness presently is that a great part of the piece of the overall industry lost throughout the year will be hard or difficult to win back at any point shortly, the Boston Consulting Group said in a detailed analysis discharged on Wednesday. This is for the most part because of long term contracts that are regularly recorded among purchasers and sellers, contingent upon the item. The lesson from the analysis shows that U.S. farmers need to turn out to be less reliant on China, and simply trust in the best concerning those customers organizing a rebound sooner or later. For the time being, China is going to Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, Russia, and also for its domestic producers as an option in contrast to American developed crops and animal proteins. From the detailed analysis: “The risk that U.S. agribusinesses may for all time lose foreign market share of the overall industry isn’t only hypothetical. In past trade disputes, for example, one with China including beef, the US has not recaptured its lost share. As a result of the increase of U.S. crops and food materials more costly than other choices, high duties bring down the price to merchants who plan to expand. Also, the fewer confidence merchants have in the US as a steady provider, in perspective on the potential for future trade disputes, the more important it progresses toward becoming for them to support and further expand. After some time, merchants could loosen up complex associations with suppliers from the U.S.” China Receives Blames for the Pressure And this is so because China is important to American farmers. China purchased $19.5 billion in U.S. agricultural items as of 2017, representing 14% of exports of farm produce, in light of BCS analysis. In July 2018, China slammed a 25% levy on U.S. agricultural items. Exports at that point declined by an incredible 53% for the year. While exports to China have declined also for this year, over past years free fall. There is another motivation behind why some China customers may not come back to the U.S. China is extending its very own crop acreage, particularly for soybeans. After some time, China will turn out to be progressively independent. Except if request increases generously, China will purchase its very own soybeans, regulating export development and under control in any case. “Individuals in the business were in a condition of cheerfulness, believing that a bargain would soon be reached,” says Michael McAdoo, associate, and related executive for BCS in Montreal. “Our analysis demonstrates that regardless of whether there is a bargain, there is worry that a similar volume won’t return. They need to try different markets,” he declared. Source: https://learn2.trade

Lawmakers Pen Down Concerns to the Fed Over National Digital Currency Two United States lawmakers have urged the Federal Reserve to evaluate the possibilities of creating a digital dollar currency. House of Representatives members, French Hill and Bill Foster recently sent a letter to the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, expressing the concerns they have on the implications the US dollar would face in a likely scenario where another country or private company develops a widely used digital currency. They asked if the apex bank was exploring ways to develop their version. The details of the letter were first published by Bloomberg Law which recounts how the Fed possesses the right to create and oversee currency policies. The congressmen wrote that the central bank of the United States had it on its jurisdiction to create a national digital currency. They added that they were worried that the importance of the US dollar could be put in a long-term danger by the adoption of digital fiat currencies across the globe. They wrote that the Bank for International Settlements carried out a survey and discovered that 40 countries across the globe have developed or are planning on developing a digital currency. There have been demands for the global financial system to gravitate away from the dollar. Most peculiar of these calls was when the Bank of England governor, Mark Carney proposed that a digital currency supported by a basket of other financial instruments will assist nations in making this change. According to the letter, Foster and Hill wrote that cryptocurrencies are presently used for speculative functions in the United States, but have the potential to function as the traditional currency of the future. Also, they wrote that the country shouldn’t depend on private corporations to create digital currencies. The letter categorically made mention of Facebook’s cryptocurrency project, Libra. They wrote that if this project by Facebook gets implemented, it could eliminate vital aspects of financial administration outside of the United States jurisdiction.

Nonetheless, the Fed is planning on creating a real-time payment system, although it is uncertain if the system is cryptocurrency-based. Source: https://learn2.trade

Hollywood Star Ventures Into Security Tokens As groundbreaking innovations continue to penetrate the finance space, it is almost impossible for this innovation not to spread to other industries. The movie industry is one of such sectors currently experiencing such revolutions. This is due to the invention of distributed technologies like Blockchain, which has brought about the concept of tokenizing everything. Tokenization is the practice of amplifying the liquidity of real-world assets. The idea behind tokenization is the same as stocks or shares, which denotes fractional ownership of stakes in a company. Anything and everything can be tokenized, and many believe it’s only a matter of time before everything is. Daywalker Movie Fund Award-winning actor, director, producer and martial artist Wesley Snipes, is on a bid to capitalize on this advancement with tokenization. The Hollywood actor in collaboration with Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange (LCX), is planning to tokenize $25 million for a movie fund. The project is known as “Daywalker Movie Fund” (DMF) which intends to invest in Wesley Snipes and his production house, Maandi House Studios will create a medium for investors all over the globe to acquire a share in the fund’s production. LCX plans on launching a fully compliant security token offering (STO) with the DMF, which will be represented by the DMF security token, to create a level playing field for both retail investors and Hollywood financiers. Regulatory Perks STOs, like initial coin offerings (ICO), provide value via a digital token. Although, security tokens, unlike ICOs, are developed with a firm foundation of regulatory due diligence. Also, security tokens represent real assets, much like shares in a company or equity in real estate while ICOs offer a token that can be utilized only through specific infrastructure. One major characteristic that gives security tokens its legitimization is it’s time ties to regulatory governance. However, the operational construct of tokenization differs across jurisdictions. In Liechtenstein, where LCX is situated, the regulatory body passed a law dubbed the Blockchain Act. The act virtually provides an explicit legal basis for ownership as well as a safe storage of the security tokens. It also provides strict rules concerning Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. An Increasing Demand For Tokenization Wesley Snipes will not be the first to undertake this journey into movie tokenization. The pioneering body of the concept is tZERO, a Blockchain subsidiary of a U.S. retail company Overstock.com. There is a rising demand for tokenized funding, considering that there is a dire need in the film industry for new avenues for liquidity. Normally, funding in the film industry comes from different revenue streams like hedge funds and individual investors from wealthy individuals. The downside to this in contrast to security tokens is that creates a situation whereby ownership of the finished product is shared with the investor. Source: https://learn2.trade
