Litecoin Price Predictions: How It could go in 2021 and Beyond
Litecoin was up by more than 140% in 2020, despite a recent drawdown that reduced the asset to about $50 per LTC. The Litecoin price has been through a lot from its launch – going up and down. Its price started at about $3 per LTC and has gone through a number of bubble cycles or "alt seasons."
These contributed to a significant rise in the price before a minor correction occurred. These price corrections do nothing to counter Litecoin's strong price trajectory. Long-term, the outlook suggests that Litecoin's potential is extremely high. Eventually, Litecoin closed 2020 at $126.23 (on...

Euro is to pass stability test. Forecast as of 11.01.2021
Any trend needs a correction. Bloomberg experts suggest the EURUSD reach level 1.25 in 2021, but it won’t happen in January, of course. Let us discuss the market outlook and make up a trading plan.
Weekly Euro fundamental forecast
Stability test. That is how the current market situation looks like. As I expected, the US weak jobs report opened the door to the EURUSD correction. The euro bulls are so worried about the drop in the US nonfarm payrolls by 140,000 that allowed the major currency pair to go down to the middle of figure 21. There is a clear...

XAUUSD: Elliott wave analysis and forecast for 08.01.21 - 15.01.21
Main scenario: consider long positions from corrections above the level of 1861.48 with a target of 2016.08 – 2073.73.
Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation below the level of 1861.48 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 1760.88 – 1718.57.
Analysis: Presumably, the ascending third wave of larger degree (3) formed and a descending correction developed as wave (4) on the daily time frame. H4 time frame: apparently, the fifth wave (5) has started forming, with wave 1 of (5) formed inside. On the H1 time frame, a local correction 2 of (5) is developing as wave...

Dollar will yield the throne. Review as of 08.01.2021
The yuan will hardly compete with the dollar in the coming years, but who knows what will happen in 10 or 20 years.
The dollar's dominance will end, sooner or later
The lower the USD falls, the more often they talk about the end of its dominance in the market. This kind of talk isn't something new: at the beginning of the 21st century, the main claimant to the throne was the euro. Nowadays, it's the yuan. The single European currency hasn't ever been the first racer, but the yuan may be the one in the next few years. Unless...

EURUSD: Elliott wave analysis and forecast for 08.01.21 - 15.01.21
Main scenario: consider long positions above the level of 1.2116 with a target of 1.2400 – 1.2500 once the correction formed.
Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation below the level of 1.2116 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 1.1971 – 1.1738.
Analysis: Daily time frame: presumably, the first wave of larger degree 1 of (3) continues developing, with wave v of 1 forming inside. On the H4 time frame, the third wave of smaller degree (iii) of v finished forming, and a descending correction is developing as the fourth wave (iv) of v. Apparently, wave a...

Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation above the level of 1.2953 will allow the pair to continue rising to the levels of 1.3174 – 1.3384.
Analysis: Daily time frame: wave (С) of 4 of larger degree continues developing, with the first wave 1 of (C) forming inside.

Betting on the victory over the pandemic, the global economy's rapid growth, and underestimate, we can find currencies, commodities, and stocks that are worth a closer look in 2021 👇🏼
⠀
🚨 East European currencies
⠀
They believe in the market that the euro's moves in 2021 will be similar to those in 2017. Back then, the EURUSD soared by 17% amid a lower political risk after Emmanuel Macron's victory over French eurosceptics, the eurozone's GDP growing faster than its US peer - for the first time in 10 years -, and Mario Draghi's hints about monetary policy normalization.
⠀
Today, the pent-up demand effect, global trade's fast growth, unity within the EU and ECB President Christine Lagarde's current penchant for hawks let us hope that the major currency pair will continue rallying to at least 1.25-1.27
⠀
When it comes to East European currencies, in 2017 looked even better than the euro: Czech koruna rose by 18.6% and the Polish zloty - by 18%. Only Hungarian forint "dropped the ball", consolidating by as little as 13%
⠀
The currencies of the countries whose exports are mainly targeted on the EU will be in their element. So, we recommend selling USDPLN, USDCZK, and USDHUF on retracements 👍🏼
⠀
🚨Platinum
⠀
Platinum has been the worst 2020 performer among precious metals 🙈 Its cost rose as little as 11% while palladium, gold, and silver grew 20%, 25%, and 49%, respectively.
⠀
Nevertheless, the XPTUSD bulls don't despair and plan to make up for missed profits in 2021. Sixty-two percent of platinum is used in industrial production, with Europe and China accounting for 50% of total demand for autocatalysts.
⠀
These regions' fast development in the coming year, producers' intention to replace expensive materials with cheaper ones (palladium's cost is 2.2 times higher than platinum's), and transition to clean energy are drawing a bright future for platinum.
⠀
World Platinum Investment Council forecasts that the demand for platinum will exceed the supply by record 1.2 million ounces in 2020. There even will be a deficit for the next few years. According to CRU Group, a hydrogen vehicle will require four times more platinum than modern diesel cars 💵
What else do you think is worth paying attention to?

The Fed’s hawkish stance and the surge of the Treasury yield made EURUSD bulls nervous. Speculators have been building up US dollar shorts for the 40th week in a row, and the bullish factors for the greenback encourage the sellers to exit trades.

Hedging is a strategy used to protect from losing trades resulting from an adverse move of a currency pair ✋🏼
⠀
Let study an example of hedging in forex, based on classical hedging technique, using one currency pair EURUSD.
⠀
💵 Assume the situation that the EURUSD has been trading in a bullish trend for a long time. We expect the trend reversal down, and we expect a reversal signal delivered by candlestick patterns.
⠀
💵 There are two consecutive down bars in the chart (marked with the blue oval on the first chart) as a confirmation of the shooting star pattern (a bearish candlestick with a long upper shadow and a small lower shadow or no shadow at all). So, we enter a short trade of 1 lot at the level of the red horizontal line, around 1.13
⠀
💵Next, holding a sell position, we see that there is a sideways move instead of a steady bear trend. When there are two up candlesticks with full bodies, which almost engulf the entire bear move, there is a strong risk that the EURUSD pair will go up and the uptrend will continue (second blue oval on the second pic)
⠀
💵To reduce this risk, we enter a position, opposite the first one, of the same volume, 1 lot. In the above chart, the buy price on the EURUSD is marked with the green line, it is at about 1.134.
⠀
Thus, two trades will overlap each other and protect our deposit. We fix the level of a potential loss of 400 points (the spread between opening short and long positions) under the conditions of strong uncertainty.
⠀
Now we can safely track the market without fear of significant losses. If the price nevertheless goes down, we will close the long position and take the profit from the short one. If there is a signal of the bull trend continuation, we shall exit the short position, and a long one will start yielding a profit.
Blue wave calls silver. Forecast as of 06.01.2021

The XAGUSD's quotes grew 47% amid pandemic-driven production cuts, strong investment demand, the global industry's fast recovery, accelerating inflation expectations, and a weak USD.
