Energy ETF (ERX) Flashes Possible Bullish Sign

The dramatic fall in oil prices over the last few weeks has garnered a lot of attention from the financial media. Oil prices dropped for 12 straight days which marked a record losing streak.

There were numerous factors behind the decline—supply and demand imbalances, political pressure, and production level disagreements are just a few.

Regardless of how things play out in the long run, there is a short-term pattern on the chart of the Direxion Daily Energy Bull 3X Shares (NYSE: ERX) that suggests a bounce may be in the works.

The fund dipped down to the $22 level on Thursday and then moved higher later that day and on Friday as well. The $22 area served as a low on October 29 and seeing these two low points in close proximity indicates a possible double-bottom pattern.

For the pattern to be confirmed, the fund would need to move above the high in between the two lows. In this case the high came at $29.05 on November 8. If the ERX does bounce back above the previous high, it would mean a 15.6% gain from the close on Friday.

One thing to keep in mind with the ERX is that it is a triple-leveraged ETF and that leverage works in both directions. If the energy sector moves up 1%, the ERX should move up 3%. If the energy sector moves down 1%, the ERX should move down by 3%. At least that is how the fund is designed to work.

Something I have noticed about the ERX is that the 3-to-1 leverage doesn’t hold up as well over the long run as it does on a day to day basis. The 3-to-1 relationship holds up much better over the short term. If you are going to invest in the ERX, you should be aware of this relationship.

If Hedge Funds are Using AI to Invest, Why Shouldn’t You?

Some of the world’s biggest financial institutions have devoted multi-million dollar budgets to developing algorithms that can find patterns in the market, identify trends, and perform automated trading designed to take advantage of even the smallest price movements. The AI revolution is so big that as it stands today, the world’s five biggest hedge funds all use systems-based approaches to trade financial markets.Indeed, quantitative trading hedge funds now manage $918 billion (according to HFR), which amounts to 30% of the $3 trillion hedge fund industry – a percentage continues to grow with each year that passes.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Where smaller, more volatile companies can placate shareholders with higher returns, larger companies often use dividend payouts to entice new investors and hold their existing ones. These low-risk options may not work for every investment approach, but dividend-producing stocks can offer great benefits under the right circumstances – especially for portfolios built for the long-term.Beyond the ability to rely on these semi-regular payouts as an income stream – a strategy favored by retirees – dividends are an excellent vehicle for compounding earnings through reinvestment.
