📉 Boeing (BA) was in focus last week as its stock price fell 12%, hitting $157. Traders took the opportunity to profit from short trades.

Why did Boeing’s stock plummet?
- New tariffs. On March 3, the US imposed a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian goods, a 10% tariff on Canadian energy products, and raised Chinese import tariffs to 20%.
- Order loss risk. Airlines may turn to Airbus, impacting Boeing’s sales.
- Supply chain issues. Higher costs of components could hurt Boeing’s margins while it struggles to ramp up production.

What’s next?
Tariffs may be reversed through negotiations, but at the moment, market volatility remains high.

Why trade Boeing now?
BA’s volatility offers profit potential on both up and down price movements.

💡 Example trade in FX mode: A $20 sell trade with 20x leverage could return a 100% profit ($20) if BA drops by 5%.

What’s your forecast?
👍 — BA will drop below $150
👎 — BA will recover to $175

Indicators and oscillators are two essential types of technical analysis tools.

Let’s use a car ride analogy to understand them better.

Indicators = Your GPS
📍 They help you see the bigger picture, guiding you throughout your journey.

Example: Bollinger Bands show whether the market is trending and help you stay on the right path.

✔️ Price near the upper band? Overbought, possible pullback.
✔️ Near the lower band? Oversold, potential rebound.

Oscillators = Your speedometer
⏱️ They measure momentum, signaling whether you’re moving too fast or too slow.

Example: The Stochastic Oscillator signals when an asset is “overbought” (speeding) or “oversold” (slowing down).

✔️ Above 80 → Overbought, possible slowdown.
✔️ Below 20 → Oversold, possible rebound.

Why use both?
Imagine driving with only a GPS but no speedometer — you’d know where you’re going but not how fast you’re moving.

Combine both tools to make more informed trading decisions.

🔥Canada CPI

On March 19 at 6:00 pm UTC, the Fed will announce its interest rate decision.

How to trade:
Expect strong volatility at 6:00 pm UTC.

🔼 Rate hike → EUR/USD down.
🔽 Rate cut → EUR/USD up.

💡 Tip:

👍 — EUR/USD will rise
👎 — EUR/USD will fall

🐂Typically, a bull market is fueled by optimism, investor confidence and favorable economic conditions.

Bull markets often occur in stocks, but they can also occur in commodities and currencies.

🐻 In contrast, a bear market is defined by decline and investor pessimism.

📍 The terms bull and bear markets come from the way these animals attack. Bulls thrust their horns upwards, symbolizing rising prices. Bears swipe their paws downwards, reflecting falling markets.

💡 Example:
In 2024, Bitcoin saw a massive bull run, soaring from $70,000 after the US elections to an all-time high of $108,300 before the new year. This surge was driven by positive macroeconomic forecasts, increased adoption and growing retail participation.

🟢 How to spot a bull market
On a chart, a bull market shows up as a series of higher highs and higher lows, forming a clear upward trajectory that signals strong sentiment and growth.

🤔 Did you learn something new about bull markets today?

📅 On Thursday, March 27, at 12:30 PM UTC, the US will release the final GDP data for Q4. This is a key indicator of economic health, impacting currency markets.

📊 The higher the GDP compared to the previous period, the better for the national currency.

GDP level:
📉 Previous: 2.3%
📈 Forecasted: 2.5%
Analysts expect GDP growth, potentially boosting the US dollar.

Data holding firm at 2.3% would confirm the economic stability of the US, supporting the US dollar.

Here’s how the market could respond:
🔼 Data above 2.3% may drive EUR/USD down.
🔽 Data below 2.3% may drive EUR/USD up.

💡 Example: On Feb. 27, EUR/USD dropped within 30 minutes of the data release as traders expected higher GDP growth. In absence of good news, the dollar didn’t gain strong support.

⚡ How to trade this on Olymptrade
This news is perfect for the FT mode. Set a pending order for 12:30 UTC.

What’s your forecast this time?
👍 EUR/USD will rise
👎 EUR/USD will fall

From March 11 to 18, the price of gold skyrocketed by 5.4% ($154).
