FINANCIAL MARKETS AT RISK AS THE VIRUS LOCKS EUROPE DOWN



The markets opened with a bearish tone as there is a new turn of events on the pandemic course. Over the weekend, the news that a new virus’ variant circulates in the United Kingdom caused panic in Europe. According to the UK authorities, the new variant spreads faster, and that poses a risk for the period ahead.

Quickly after the announcement, several European countries suspended their flights to the United Kingdom, in a move that signals the harsh lockdown in place in Europe. As such, the market is at risk of declining due to the lack of liquidity characteristic this time of the year.



The Fed Remains Dovish

Last week’s main event was the Federal Reserve meeting and interest rate decision. The Fed chooses to do nothing at this meeting, but it kept a dovish tone.

During the press conference, the Fed’s Chair Powell said that the central bank reopened the USD swap lines and that it will keep the Quantitative Easing (QE) program at the same pace of $120 billion. Much of the focus of last week’s meeting was to see if the Fed hints at changing the focus of the bond-buying. So far, the focus was on shorter-term maturities, but rumors in the market suggested that the Fed may switch to longer-term maturities.

By targeting longer-term bonds, the Fed aims at lowering the yields further, in a move destined to ease financial conditions even more. However, it did not do so, but it hinted that it represents a tool it may use in the future.

Risk-Off Market Moves

Moving forward, there is the danger of a risk-off move that could grip markets this week. In a risk-off, the USD rises, and the stock market falls. Risk-off market moves are coordinated and have the tendency to affect all markets in a correlated manner. In other words, it does not matter what market one is trading, as they are all affected.

Because the USD is the world’s reserve currency, how it trades this week is key to risk. As such, expect a more volatile trading week than otherwise.

LTC AND EOS – CONSOLIDATION EXPECTED BEFORE FURTHER UPSIDE



LTC/USD

The price of Litecoin has been increasing since the start of the week and from Monday’s low at $79.215 we have seen a rise of 29.75% measured to its highest point today at $102.781. Currently, the price is being traded slightly lower as a minor pullback was made and is sitting just below the $100 mark.



On the hourly chart, you can see that Monday’s low was a corrective move made after the interaction with the $84 horizontal level which was the end of the first impulse wave out of a five-wave move that started on the 11th. The second wave established support on the $78.44 level from which we have seen a parabolic rise with the price breaking significant resistance with a strong bullish moment.

As this increase was the 3rd wave which appears completed as it can be sub-divided in lower degree five-wave count, we are now likely to see a pullback to around $92 where the prior local resistance level might get tested for support. But after the pullback ends further upside movement would be expected and a higher high compared to today’s one. This expected increase would be the 5th wave that is set to push the price for a higher high and potentially to the $109.35 where the next significant horizontal resistance level is.

NOVEMBER 2020 TOP 10 PAMM ACCOUNTS OVERVIEW

Summing up the results of November, we choose to monitor the most attractive PAMM providers for investment. Investors are mostly interested in good returns and low drawdowns. In today’s PAMM review on the eve of the Christmas holidays we will look at profitable PAMM accounts for a moderate portfolio.

By November 2020, there were 172 investment accounts opened in FXOpen and $2’106’389.00 worth of capital invested.

DevidGuetta

This PAMM provider has been demonstrating successful trading for almost the whole of 2020. At the beginning of the fall, the provider behaved conservatively, but in November the monthly profit was +7.31%. It is worth noting that they traded very successfully without significant drawdowns. In November, they traded mainly in cryptocurrencies: LTC/USD, BTC/USD, XRP/USD. The maximum drawdown in November did not exceed 2.51%. It is possible to join the provider with 100 USD or more.

MinRisk

This provider has been trading fairly confidently on FXOpen since July 2016. Since April 2020 they have been trading in profit with minor losses. In November, the profit was 4.56%, in December, the positive trend persists. Deposit load in November did not exceed 7%. The manager chart shows some spikes, indicating the use of averaging on the exit from the drawdown. MinRisk account style can be considered as quite aggressive, but profitable at the same time.

SuperSpeculativ

The provider has been trading at FXOpen for almost a year since December 2019. The year 2020 has turned out quite well for them. Since July, they have been selling at significant drawdowns, bringing in conservative returns every month. As a result, half-year earnings were almost 40%. In November, the income was 6.74%. It should be noted that the manager traded with minimal deposit load, which did not exceed 1.5% in November. It is possible to join the trader with only 100 USD.

FXOpen Launches Local Bank Transfers in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico


FXOpen is pleased to announce that we've added new methods of depositing funds. Clients from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico can now carry out transactions via local bank transfers: Rapipago, Boleto Bancário and Oxxo.



Rapipago is an Argentinian prepaid payment method used for online purchases. The system generates a voucher that can be paid offline at one of the 6000+ Rapipago payment locations. Rapipago supports payments between 1200+ companies and their consumers — around 19 million transactions per month. Rapipago’s card, check, and cash-based transactions ultimately collect money on behalf of merchants and utility firms.

OXXO is a chain of convenience stores that offers alternative cash payments in Mexico. Around 71 million Mexicans do not own a bank account, and OXXO allows merchants to tap into this substantial group of online buyers. With more than 16,000 stores across the country, consumers can pay for their online purchases in cash, and merchants have a zero chance of a chargeback.

Boleto Bancário is an official Brazilian payment method regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil. It is a push payment system which was launched in 1993 and today generates 3.7 billion transactions per year. Accounting for around 25% of all online payment transactions, it is a must for doing business in Brazil.
