Very Important!

Currency trends page now includes analysis on cryptocurrencies , the most capitalized and traded .That doesn’t imply an advice to trade cryptos , a very dangerous practice for your capital ; the only objective is to demonstrate that strategies based on markets’ actors behavior  , in some periods can widely overperform particularly on those asset that are bought and sold on an emotional base , and this is the case of cryptocurrencies , whose value depends on ideas and previsions , having not a role as a national currency , nor backed by a material or safe background , or relying on a country’s economy ; and recent news about exchanges where these assets are traded show a lack of regulation in the matter , too .    

Markets mood indicator

Indicators range from 0 to 100 .Overall from 0 to 50 indicates a negative mood , above 50 up to 100 a positive one . When Overall is very low (<25%) the odds of risky markets rebound are conversely high ; on the opposite side, an Overall reading above 75% likely shows risky markets’ overbought situation .
