Market Outlook FAQ
How accurate is your outlook?
Honest answer: we get directional bias right approximately 55-65% of the time, but specific price targets less often. Markets surprise; our outlook is structured around scenarios rather than predictions. The value is in helping you THINK ABOUT the week ahead, not in predicting it. We log accuracy publicly at /corrections/ when we're significantly wrong.
When is the next outlook published?
Every Sunday at 22:00 UTC. We publish before Asian session Monday opens so you have the analysis before the trading week begins.
Can I trade based directly on your outlook?
We don't recommend trading directly off any outlook (ours or others). Use it as context for your own setups. Our outlook might say 'EUR/USD bullish above 1.0850' — your job is to find a technical entry within that bias, with your own stop and position sizing rules.
Do you cover specific stocks?
Currently we focus on major forex pairs, BTC, gold, oil, and stock indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq). Individual stocks have too many idiosyncratic events to cover weekly with depth. For stock-specific analysis, dedicated equity research is more useful than our general market outlook.
Do you predict crypto prices?
We provide directional bias for BTC and ETH based on macro context (USD direction, risk-on/risk-off). We don't predict specific price targets. Crypto markets have too much idiosyncratic news flow (whale activity, exchange listings, regulatory headlines) to predict reliably with macro frameworks alone.
Are previous outlooks archived?
Yes — all weekly outlooks remain available indefinitely. The archive cards above link to each prior week. We don't delete old analyses even when wrong — keeping them transparent helps readers calibrate trust in our methodology over time.
