Indian Exchange Launches Lending Program for 5 Cryptocurrencies

An Indian crypto exchange has launched a program that allows its users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies held at the exchange. Initially, users can lend BTC, USDT, BNB, XRP, and ETH. The CEO of the exchange has shared details about this new offering with news.Bitcoin.com.

Especially when "we" are still poor.  Someone told me that, recently.   

For being new to this thread, you sure do talk a lot of nonsense.  Likely, I overstated my "poor" status, because I was trying to harass bitserve, who had asserted that "we are poor." 

Ultimately, I don't believe that buyers and accumulators of BTC are poor, especially if we have been buying and accumulating for several years.  BTC has been a very well appreciating asset, especially relative to other possible investments. 

Regarding your slave/master framework, these concepts may apply to wage workers, and some of us here are considering various ways to advance to "fuck you" status, which, like you seem to suggest, might be more of a mindset rather than a set condition.  I don't think that we have to place ourselves as one or the other, but if we consider merely being master over ourselves, our finances and our lives, then that might be enough to have achieved "fuck you" status, perhaps?

On the other hand, there are likely always going to be some things that are out of our control, so sometimes, it is good to figure out ways to live with ourselves and to recognize our powers and limitations, including some things that we might not be able to control.. thinking about failing health conditions that might cause some demise and dependencies depending on how some of those kinds of limitations might evolve or affect us personally.

Looking like we might be dipping below $4,000 again soon. We didn’t break high enough past it, I think a couple of our bear whales are going to see this as an opportunity to force us below $4,000.....AGAIN !!!!!

Hurray,enjoy your holidays from now on.,Don't forget to bring your girl with you.

I used to think I'd live to be around 120 years old. But now, I'm thinking, if I even get to 90 or even 85, that I would have lived a good life anyway. (Or even earlier, but not too early.)

Just need to get that first elusive million, then live on interest.

There are the traditional methods of self-pensioning (without relying on government) and the alternatives are crypto, but not yet mature or stable.

And then, of course, you really need to get term life insurance. Term life is the most basic, most pure, insurance. That is why it is also the cheapest. Something like $30 per month to cover $500k for a 10 year term. You may or may not need longer than that.

They are at the party for the celebration of bitcoin price reached $4000 but sadly the price fell even before the part ends.

Don't worry bro,everyone is holding now,with hat members.

Right.

I don't care for this guy. He always has something subliminally douchey to say about bitcoin, which is what I suspect his readers want to hear.


Well I guess you answered that one for us, Billy Boy.

The real journalistic crime is associating Bitconnect with bitcoin, like they are the same thing, or even in the same category.

Since July 2018, due to a circular released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in April, local banks were prohibited from dealing with bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchanges by the central bank.

Last month, the Supreme Court of India provided the government four weeks to draft a cryptocurrency regulatory framework, which would decide the legal landscape of the cryptocurrency market in India for the foreseeable future.

Depending on the outcome of the March 29 hearing set to occur four days from now, the future of the bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange market of India will be decided.

I hope so! seriously!

what is your opinion?

Bitcoin is doing better than corporations & altcoins though it never had:

- CEO
- Marketing
- Salaries
- ICO
- Partnerships
- Headquarters
- Customer support

Bitcoin is an emergent superorganism. Members contribute according to their ability, driven by passion more than greed

Good morning afternoon bothers.

Are we going to stable here? I would like to see 7K though.

I think it's going up to $7000 in the next 7 days

Wimpy stop in place, puny profit safe. She's good if you don't ask her too much, too shamelessly.

Fed Minutes today were all about "dat money printing". Dovish AF = Bullish AF for King Bitcoin

6k soon.

Let's call the $5400 level before it was too late.  Bulls already lost power after hitting the target.

I believe Satoshi died of natural causes. Faketoshis dead friend Dave Klein is a likely candidate.

Satoshi is Hodling 1 million coins in the grave so we can moon. Ty Satoshi. RIP.

6k soon.

Hold = Scam.

Bitcoin has been trending lower since the opening of the session on Thursday. The entire market is in the red amid growing bearish pressure. The declines come after BTC/USD corrected to highs above $5,400 yesterday. The flash drop below $5,000 seems to have poked the bulls who have pulled the price above $5,040. Support at $5,000 will continue to hold in the coming sessions. However, the upside is still limited below the 50 SMA and the 100 SMA.

 Happy New Year and Bon Appetit!

As an aside I was looking for a Bengali translation for bon appetit and I found উপভোগ ক্ষুধা which when google-translated literally means "enjoy hunger"
 lol  translation fail!

Data from Google Trends shows that Lagos, Nigeria ranks as the number one city based on the volume of online searches for Bitcoin (BTC). While this data may indicate a high level of interest among the city's approximately 21 million people, it has yet to equate to tangible adoption of the emerging trend of technology.

But that is changing, as a growing movement among young people frustrated with existing payment systems looks for alternatives.

Bitcoin as a dollar substitute
For the most part, “Lagosians” who are aware of the existence of Bitcoin see the top-ranked cryptocurrency as a substitute for the United States dollar. BTC exists for them on a spectrum that lends itself as a viable substitute for foreign currency.

Payment companies like PayPal do not allow Nigerians to receive money transfers from abroad, thanks to the notoriety of internet fraudsters in the country — and the companies that offer such services usually charge high fees.

Thus, it is common to see the city's growing freelancing community beginning to pivot toward cryptocurrency payments. Many of the youth in the city, having battled with underemployment or unemployment, have sought to try their hands outside the traditional working environment.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reports that Nigeria's unemployment rate rose to above 23 percent in 2018. In a city like Lagos, many young university graduates can be seen making a living as freelancers, offering services from copywriting to website design and even computer programming.

This is what I like about the Germans 😋

I'm in a dark mood right now, like in the picture.
~snip~

And the stupidest thing is that I can't understand why it's like this. The price of an BTC seems to be growing gradually, but I am still sad for some reason.

Happy Bengali New year bro. is this a "Choka" along with fish?

Bitcoin Processed $7 Billion Worth of Transactions in the Past 24 Hours

https://www.trustnodes.com/2019/04/15/bitcoin-processed-7-billion-worth-of-transactions-in-the-past-24-hours

"Close to $7 billion worth of bitcoin has moved on-chain in the past 24 hours, with 1.3 million bitcoin exchanging hands or changing addresses.

More than a quarter of a billion dollars has been on the move every hour, with the average transaction value standing at $22,000, while the median is at $100.

Meaning about as many transactions were worth less than $100 as more.
...
What couldn’t fit on the screen is the 100 largest transactions. They moved about $850 million, or 165,000 bitcoin, just over 10% of the entire transfers.

This might suggest the majority of transactions are not exchanges or other large entities, but ordinary individuals using bitcoin in commerce, for international transfers, or to exchange value."

Good to see this notification today morning!



Good effort by a reputed person like CZ in helping community to avoid scam project investments. Kudos to Binance and CZ.

At Binance, we periodically review each digital asset we list to ensure that it continues to meet the high level of standard we expect. When a coin or token no longer meets this standard, or the industry changes, we conduct a more in-depth review and potentially delist it. We believe this best protects all of our users.

When we conduct these reviews, we consider a variety of factors. Here are some that drive whether we decide to delist a digital asset:


Commitment of team to project
Level and quality of development activity
Network / smart contract stability
Level of public communication
Responsiveness to our periodic due diligence requests
Evidence of unethical / fraudulent conduct
Contribution to a healthy and sustainable crypto ecosystem


Based on our most recent reviews, we have decided to delist and cease trading on all trading pairs for the following coin on 2019/04/22 at 10:00 AM UTC:

A new alternate reality puzzle game has a thousand keys barring the way to USD 1 million in Bitcoin all over the world, prompting players to organize themselves into teams, not unlike the ones in popular young adult book Ready Player One, in order to lay their hands on the prize.

A cryptic message broadcasted to the Blockstream satellite on April 13th was the challenge for all would-be players to participate in “Satoshi’s Treasure,” described as a contest to “test the resolve, courage, intelligence, and savvy of would-be hunters.”

A total of 1,000 fragments of the private key are hidden around the world, and at least 400 of those are needed to move the funds. Players can team up, organize hunts, and even sell their key fragments - there are almost no rules, and the ones that do exist even come down to common sense.

The rules promise that the keys will not be hidden inside private property, and that Hunters should under no circumstances enter those areas if they have not been invited. They will also not require any destruction of property, and should a Hunter consider destroying a Key to prevent others from finding it, the creator promises to reveal all the keys this Hunter holds to everyone, thus disqualifying them.

A total of 20 people participated in creating the game. One of them is Eric Meltzer, co-founder of venture investment firm Primitive Ventures, who also donated part of the loot. He was joined by Ian Miers, co-creator of privacy coin Zcash, and 18 other unnamed contributors in creating the game - all in order to ensure that none of them know all of the locations of the loot. The rest of the loot was capped off by an anonymous angel investor.

The first clue seems to point towards satellites: “These locations can be discovered by monitoring the output of the primitive orbitals known in your time as GALAXY18, EUTELSAT 113, TELSTAR 11N, and TELSTAR18V at 1PM EST, APRIL 14th in the year 2019,” the clue reads. It goes on to add, “This is not history's first great hunt, nor its last, but it is MINE, and so it is to me that you must prove yourself. I have devised a series of puzzles and challenges of increasing difficulty; they will test even the most resourceful hunter or clan.”

Other clues will be revealed at noon PST (UTC-8) on Sundays and anyone interested in participating is free to sign up for notifications. Meltzer told news publication CoinDesk that they’re also considering an app to help players keep track of everything, but that it will not be required to play. According to him, most of the participants are very young, and a number of them are minors.

By CCN: Add Jesse Powell to the chorus of crypto exchange CEOS who are done with Craig Wright’s games. San Francisco-based crypto exchange Kraken has announced that it will be delisting Bitcoin SV (BSV), following in the trend-setting footsteps of Binance and later ShapeShift.

Kraken has been engaging with its community about it ever since Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao got the ball rolling earlier in the week. In an online poll, nearly three-quarters of Kraken’s followers voted in favor of delisting Bitcoin SV while more than one-fifth of tens of thousands of voters said they didn’t care. Kraken responded, revealing that the last day for trading Bitcoin SV would be May 1 while withdrawals will continue until May 15.

“The people have spoken. Kraken is delisting Bitcoin SV.”

Take their boat across the water to Malaysia and run down the coast of Indonesia to Australia.

 Yep.

I see this  as the prequel of what we are going to witness in the next years for hodling and supporting bitcoin.

Thai government lost its mind completely when they realized they can lose their wage slaves. If their slaves start a riot and leave the county they are fucked. They know it so they wanted to make an example of those poor guys.

This will happen to bitcoin too.

As much as I like the idea of bitcoin, a war between us and actual governments will fuck us up. So... don't hodl more than you could afford to lose I guess. I am already down deep very much. I am a bit scared to be honest.

According To Pattern, Bitcoin Might Have Bottomed

Take a look at the two images below. On the right is an excerpt from the “Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns” by Thomas Bulkowski, which shows something called a “bump-and-run reversal bottom,” or BARR bottom for short. On the left is Bitcoin (BTC)’s one-week chart stretching from last August to now. Notice anything?

Well, if you couldn’t tell, the pattern depicted on the right, which shows a series of higher lows, a massive sell-off on the back of monumental selling pressure, a zone of accumulation, an eventual bullish breakout past a declining trend line, and a subsequent rally is looking much like Bitcoin right now. In fact, save for a few discrepancies in the accumulation zone and the time span, the charts are effectively identical.

The two charts are so similar that the analyst who discovered this correlation wrote: “this means that bears are f**ked.” Biddles, as the trader is known, is referring to the fact that if the textbook-esque BARR bottom plays out for Bitcoin, BTC could return to $5,000 next week before entering an “uphill run” — a move that would catapult crypto assets back into a bull rally.

In subsequent tweets, Biddles continued to cite charts from Bulkowski’s technical analysis bible to explain that by many measures, BTC might be on the verge of a rally. He explained that Bitcoin’s one-day chart is currently exemplifying signs that BTC is trapped in an ascending triangle, which is a bullish pattern marked by higher highs, an overarching resistance, and slow price action. With volume declining, an act that is bullish per Bulkowski, Biddles confirmed that if Bitcoin closes above $5,320, BTC could be in for a rally to a higher region.

The 1D MA50/ MA200 Cross (Golden Cross) is about to take place and you are still wondering how to trade it?

Well the last time that happened in July 2015 following the previous bear cycle's bottom, Bitcoin pulled back by around -35%. Then the price rebounded towards a Death Cross (1D MA200/ MA50) that made it consolidate before a new (and final) Golden Cross that pushed BTC to new highs.

The Distance between the 1st Golden Cross and the Death Cross was around 62 days and the (D) between the Death Cross and the 2nd Golden Cross 42 days.

I have tried to plot the same pattern into today's chart. The conclusion is yours!

*Bonus the Ichimoku Cloud which plots a path ahead of the Crosses!

Good Morning, WO,s

They are all privileged minds, it is amazing what you find reviewing old threads.

HI guys, long time without detail explaination how BTC going with market.

Today I declare for all you “ WHY IT’S NOT TIME FOR BUYING “

As we have seen, that from the time when we break up Inverse H&S pattern from 40xx - 42xx we have strong pump up to now in 2 weeks ago.

Honestly, I very happy to see BTC has some reversal and correction in last several days. If we follow Inverse H&S so we must have correction from 47xx - 49xx, but we are in FOMO of market for thinking of “ New cycle “ or “ We will not have change for buying in dip again so keep buying “ or “ You wrong for selling in dip so keep buy as much as you can before new cycle “

That is reason why we going to 54xx$ in Binance. But happy that we will have correction from here as some explain in below.

Before reading so just CLIKE a LIKE BUTTON - just for second for support me - so thanks all you guys

Ok, let see about from the Left to the Right of chart. I will read about action of market for you can understand how it happen.

Did you see SL O; that is last Swing Low point from bullish , after that we have strong dump and making SL A. The level of SL A is lower SL O so, it confirm the bullish is over in middle term and become bearish .

the SL B is higher than SL A declare we have bullish in short term but when we confirm bearish in middle term so “ where we are ? “ >>> we are in pull back period of SH A - SL A.

So using Fibonacci Retrace and we see we may have correction from Fibonacci 0.618 - 0.786 ( 5208$ - 5302& )

Ok, let looking about the volume , consider the time after SH A. We have big bearish volume and after that we have bounce back but the volume is very low.

Looking at Candle 1 & 2 I have marked by Vertical Line, the volume of Bearish and Bullish candle is the same and higher than Average of 20 volume candle.
It mean the market has been manipulated with a “GAME”

We are trying going up but volume very low - that is why we shoulder not buy at this time.

So what we do ? WAIT FOR GOING UP AND SHORT ENTRY - BEST ADVICE

Candle 2 break up WMA 49 & 105 - I think is the fake signal for bullish short term

Okay, let see the last viewpoint. That is MACD line.

The price at SH A = 5424$ and the MACD at this point is 39.13

Let see, what happen if at right now, the price can not go higher 5424$ but MACD is going higher than 39.13 ( the number right now is very nearly ).
What’s up ? Did we have divergence ? That right. That is the best time for us SHORT ENTRY

Conclusion: THAT IS NOT THE TIME FOR BUYING ; WAITING FOR SHORT ENTRY WHEN MACD HAS DIVERGENCE AND IN FIBONACCI RETRACE OF 0.618 - 0.786

Sharing this analysis and LIKE any way !

LOVE ALL YOU

The fact that Bitcoin saw its price breaking above $5,000 at the beginning of April made everyone highly optimistic about the prospects of a full-fledged bull run. However, crypto bulls shouldn’t hold their breath since it could take decades for the number one currency to recover from its epic downfall.


Bitcoin compared to other bubbles
After comparing Bitcoin to other bubbles, UBS analyst Kevin Dennean came to a conclusion that BTC will most likely follow their lead, Business Insider reports.
However, here’s a catch – Bitcoin will have to undergo a long-lasting recovery, so it is not reasonable to expect another bull run in the nearest future. For comparison, it took the Dow Jones Industrials 22 years to reach its previous peak.   

On December 24, 2017, the Central Bank of Bangladesh issued a cautionary notice that
cryptocurrencies are illegal in Bangladesh. According to a news report, the notice states that
“[t]ransaction [sic] with this currency may cause a violation of the existing money laundering and
terrorist financing regulations.” The notice states that bitcoin transactions “are not authorized
by the Bangladesh Bank or any regulatory agencies, and do not conform with the provisions under
the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947; Anti-Terrorism Act, 2009; and the Money
Laundering Prevention Act, 2012.” Also, according to the notice,

• nline transaction [sic] of virtual currencies with any unnamed or pseudo named parties

may cause a violation of the above-mentioned acts. . . . .[T]ransactions through online
networks involving cryptocurrency are not approved by any central payment system and
as such people can be financially harmed and may face legal consequences.
Under the circumstances, the citizens have been asked to refrain from performing,
assisting, and advertising all kind of transactions through virtual currencies like Bitcoin to
avoid financial and legal damages.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Foreign Exchange Police Department, Bangladesh
Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), and Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission
(BTRC), have reportedly already held four meetings on “hunting down those
using cryptocurrencies.”

Elwar's story makes the BBC

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-47974234

A US man and his partner could face the death penalty after they were accused of building a "sea home" off Thailand.

Chad Elwartowski has gone into hiding with his girlfriend, Supranee Thepdet, after the navy said they had threatened the country's sovereignty.

Their home, which sits atop a 20m (65ft) platform, is located around 12 miles (19km) off the coast of Phuket.

But Mr Elwartowski insists it is 13 miles from the shore and therefore outside of Thailand's jurisdiction.

"The navy and its team... found a concrete tank floating on the sea but there was no-one on it," police colonel Nikorn Somsuk told AFP news agency.

He added that the navy would meet local officials "to consider what to do next". The navy said the couple had failed to seek permission from Thailand before constructing the home.

If the couple are found guilty of violating Thailand's sovereignty they could face life in prison and even the death penalty.

Taking a breather from making $1 million Bitcoin forecasts, it appears that John McAfee has a new narrative to pursue. Namely, the polarizing tech entrepreneur is aiming for the greatest mystery in all of Cryptocurrency, “Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?”



APPARENTLY, JOHN MCAFEE KNOWS BITCOIN’S CREATOR
The shadowy BTC creator’s anonymity has created a thriving market for those people claiming to be the architect of that famous whitepaper. Now it appears that Craig Wright and the gang are going to be redundant shortly because McAfee is getting frustrated and wants the truth out in the open. A series of extraordinary tweets ensued from the original, so get some popcorn ready.

Does McAfee know who Satoshi is? The smart money is almost certainly on no, but as ever with John, his background, charisma, and following will still make this new narrative unmissable viewing. Evidently, some people are concerned about his “outing” of Satoshi but, at this stage, we don’t have any proof or evidence to support that Mr. McAfee knows anything. I take that back, another tweet.

An Ascending triangle is governing support and resistance lines.

Support= 5070
Resistance= 5350


Bullish Scenario:

Weekly and Monthly resistance levels are sitting at the 5350 range. If we close a full daily candle above 5350. I would expect a measure move up to 5700. With another potential leg up to 6000.

Bearish Scenario:

If we close a full daily candle below 5070. I would anticipate a measure move to the 4500 range.
The rsi on the weekly has crossed the upper critical zone for the first time since 2017. The NVT signal is flashing red (sell) which has called every bitcoin top since its inception. Also we have been rejected now twice from the monthly and weekly moving averages.

Please keep in mind we are still on a down trend from 2017 until we break 6700. The bulls are creating a trade zone for us to choose a side. Longs are over leveraged 24k to shorts 19k. With a slow down turn in the altcoin momentum I would trade any leveraged moves cautiously.

Dude likes to show off 🤣

Annoying shitcoins

Current movement sucks a bit , difficult moves to predict, so normally i don't want to do anything. But to give you something to work with, i am going to do an analysis with a few scenario's, for the bulls and bears.

1) I have drawn 3 charts here. The one on the left, is already moving as suggested past hours. Made that last bounce up from that curved line. My assumption here is, we might see another stop hunt. Already breaking down now as i am writing this, but no big volume yet. I got a feeling price is getting supported again like a week ago at 5200 (read those analysis to understand it). Already seeing an attempt to break that curved line but again it's holding. So we might see that scenario play out. The level of the shake out on the upside, is an assumption this time, don't have much to go on this time.
Important here is, i assume the support zone around 5200/5180 has been created as a big stop zone level, so when we see a Bart move, this zone will trigger a snowball of stops trigger to dump the price.

2) In the middle we can see, that channel i showed a few days ago, is till legit and giving resistance. Bulls just don't seem to be able to break above it. But as long as we stay above 5200/5180, there is a chance to break up. This support zone , is also an important level from scenario 1. The channel gives a target around 5000, the possible triangle more like 4700. However, past days i moved my focus from 4700 to 4800. So also not sure about what it could do if we see a big drop coming days.

3) Bigger picture, this one has not changed at all. I am still looking up with a lot of confidence. As long as we don't see a very big volume drop , as long as we don't see a big break of 4800ish, i have no reason at all to think the rally is already over. I have mentioned the bigger picture scenario a few times already, so i assume you know what the game plan is. If not, read some of the previous analysis to know.

So it's safe to say, i think chances are very small to see it rally from current levels already. The green line, is maybe the best case for the bulls i think, small stop hunt to like 5100 and see a V shape on the low time frame back up above 52xx and than slowly continue the rally, like they did around the 4000 just before the rally to 5K. This is something what can happen, but i don't think it's likely. Think this consolidation needs more tests of support levels. Doesn't have to be 4800 per se, but at least a few more times around 4950/5050

‘Bitcoin Creator’ Craig Wright Drags Critics to Court to ‘Prove’ He’s Satoshi

His pathological narcissism will be his ultimate undoing. I'm really looking forward to seeing the shit-show play out in the courts.

Still on same short view guys, Now BTC is painting a BAT pattern , we should keep close eyes on the mini rising channel where the BAT inscribed in, if price keep holding below the previous high may signal huge dump ahead.

My advice is to be a shorter right now with tight stop loss rather than be that guy that see only Long. Lots of divergence on almost all timeframe and at same time oscillating indicators are well overbought.

In all let keep our stop loss short and tight.

Thanks

3% of American Retirees Own Some Bitcoin, While 33% Have No Idea What Bitcoin Is: Survey

https://cointelegraph.com/news/3-of-american-retirees-own-some-bitcoin-while-33-have-no-idea-what-bitcoin-is-survey

If I were in the United States, I would be part of the 3%, but with a difference, I am over 50 and I am not retired.

Waiting, fuckyourmoney.

One day Bitcoin is breaking out for the next leg higher, and the bull run has begun, two days later, the sky is falling, sell now and buy lower. You have to be kidding. The best was one group I follow on Facebook as a sentiment indicator, who sold recently and is posting "where are you adding next, I have my levels, where are yours?" Ohh brother. You think the market cares about your levels? What if it doesn't get to your levels then what?

First if you are trading that is it, fine. You are all in, all out, and at the end of the year, you made 10k, you pay your taxes on it. Fair enough, I trade, I know many that trade, and that is pretty much the strategy. Yet investing is different. If you are long term and looking to hold for the long run, or a significant level like $1,000,000 than does it matter if you bought at 4k or 5k? I know, that is not my call, Wences Casares of Xapo CEO and a director of PayPal gave it at least a 50% chance of hitting that level in 7-10 years. Hey who am I to argue with him? Sure I think it is a moonshot, I really don't have a 7-10 year target, but regardless in the next 3-5 years I believe it will be higher. Maybe 50k who knows, I remember Lennart telling me back in the day when it was $1 the thought of it hitting $100 was crazy. I guess 20k was ludicrous! One note "don't push against a bull market".

If you bought 1 Bitcoin at 3500 you might be thinking, wow now is the time to trim it off. If this was a swing trade, or a position trade where you had a specific target than fine. However if you are an investor, and you are thinking, I will sell at 5200 and buy back at 4500, you might be disappointed in the outcome.

First Taxes:

Using a moderate tax rate of 22% on capital gains, your taxable income from this trade is 5200-3500 or 1700. Multiplying by 22% your tax liability is $375. Subtracting $375 from 5200 you get 4826. So Bitcoin has to move below 4826 for the trade to actually work. Ok the initial support is at 4700 and main support is at 4500. So you have the potential of realized gains of $126 at the low end, and $326 at the high end. If you are adding inventory you can buy a whopping 0.072 Bitcoins increasing your stack from 1 to 1.072. Hey every penny counts. But lets look at the other side of the coin.

Bitcoin rallies to 6000 from here, and now you are sitting with no Bitcoin or half a stack. The Bi-Polar analysts go bull crazy and you buy in reducing your inventory to 0.80 including your tax liability. So what is your risk to reward here? You are risking 0.20 Bitcoin to make 0.08 Bitcoin , uhhhhh not so good. This is the reality and why many continue to erode their portfolio. Do not push against a bull. You either believe Bitcoin is going up in the long term or down in the long term. Position that way and build an inventory.

You can do this by position trading. Say you own 2 Bitcoin and have 5k available to trade with. You swing or position trade and the capital gains goes into buying more Bitcoin . Valid strategy, I use it, I love it! However if you are just buying and selling based on some bozo on Facebook , or TV that is telling you to get out, and claims to make 3500% a year, you might want to look in the mirror. Wait don't do that I have some cheap island, beach front property in Belize for sale, only 1 Bitcoin , call me at 1-800-4suckas. If I was making 300% every year I would not be posting on Trading View, I would be looking at that new Callaway Driver (boy its nice) and shaking hands with Tiger at the Masters. What a win, that was epic! Bottom line do not make trades investments, and investments trades. You will lose in the long term mixing strategies.

Pessimism Abound:

With so much pessimism and with so many selling their coins bragging how they are geniuses, they are now waiting for the Big Dip. What if it doesn't come?. Bull markets are born in Pessimism and die in Euphoria. Are we Euphoric yet? No we have an abundance of pessimists waiting for a dip to 4500 some even a retest of the low at 3200. Talk about waiting for a water truck in the desert. Now we have used gold as a comparison before, but lets zoom in on the dip in gold .

Pump UP everything ....

Good morning WO’s and yet another very fine day @belgium

Keep BTC going...

I do not know, the only thing that comes to mind is this.
That the blue line rises like a rocket, but in the next halving and then see the next ATH in $60,000.

I fully support Elwar and his ambitions but just find it Ironic that so very few countries have made BTC illegal for payments yet that is where he had to go.

Reality if a fucked up place to live.

Oh and another one I had 10 days or so ago:



Is that the best green dildo we've seen or what?

Hi friends! Welcome to this update analysis on Bitcoin! Let's get right to it! Looking at the weekly BLX chart, we can see tat Bitcoin continues to struggle at overhead resistance. That resistance is the weekly 50 EMA (in orange,) which is intersecting exactly with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement , which is produced from the decline from 6000-3000. We also have big resistance at 5500, from the low on November 12th, 2017, which the recent high was rejected at. However, Bitcoin has surpassed a descending trendline (in black,) that has recently been popularized on the internet as a key part of a potential "bump and run reversal" bottom formation (more on that later.)

So, we are at a critical retracement level (61.8%,) while simultaneously testing a critical moving average (weekly 50 EMA ,) after being rejected at lateral overhead resistance (5500,) but above some newly found support (lead in trendline .) Taking all of that into consideration, I have come to the conclusion that I must do my own assessment of this bump and run reversal theory, to see if it sway's my view. Because currently, from a pure probability standpoint, I do believe that there is a much higher chance that we fall from here, as opposed to the probability that Bitcoin continues to rally. With that said, perhaps the bump and run reversal argument has merit (anything is possible.) Regardless, if we did move higher, the upside would likely be very limited. You can see that the weekly 50 MA (in red) is falling toward price action, just above the weekly 50 EMA . So, if BTC broke out higher, it would have to contend with that, and then the ultimate resistance zone between 5777 and slightly above 6000 (in red.) With that said, I am still cautiously sitting on the sidelines, after taking profits from my long that I've added to since December.

Looking at the Stochastic RSI , we can see that it is pegged on 100, and has been there since the beginning of March. Additionally, the daily RSI just came off of near record overbought territory, and the daily MACD is also showing signs of exhaustion, after printing a bearish crossover a few days ago.

Recently, I saw the argument that has been circulating around the internet regarding the bump and run bottoming setup for Bitcoin . While I do think that the bottom is in, I'm not too sure about the bump and run reversal theory. So, let's take a look at the chart in depth, to see how that theory stacks up with the technical requirements necessary to produce a bump and run reversal.

1. Lead in Trendline: "If it's too steep, then the ensuing bump is unlikely to be significant enough. If the trend line is not steep enough, then the subsequent trend line break will occur too late. Bulkowski advises that an angle of 30 to 45 degrees is preferable." Our lead in trendline is -23°.

This is below the "preferable" range.

2. Bump Phase: "Ideally, the angle of the trend line from the bump's advance should be about 50% greater than the angle of the trend line extending up from the lead-in phase. Roughly speaking, this would call for an angle between 45 and 60 degrees." Our bump phase trendline is -54°.

This is in line with the required angle.

3. Bump Validation: "The distance from the lowest low of the bump to the lead-in trend line should be at least twice the distance from the lowest low in the lead-in phase to the lead-in trend line . These distances can be measured by drawing a vertical line from the highest highs to the lead-in trend line ."

Distance of lowest low of bump to lead in: 3008
Distance of lowest low of lead in to lead in: 2185.

So, 3008 is not "at least twice" the distance of 2185. Therefore, the bump was not validated.

4. Bump Rollover: Clearly we saw a bump rollover when price rose from the lows.

5. Volume: The volume progression looks consistent with that of the bump and run reversal volume requirements.

6. Run Phase: "The run phase begins when the pattern breaks support from the lead-in trend line ... Once the break occurs, the run phase takes over, and the rally continues."

According to this description, we are in the "run phase."

7. Resistance Turns Support: "After the trend line is broken, there is sometimes a retracement that tests the newfound support level . Potential resistance-turned-support levels can also be identified from the reaction highs within the bump."

So, based on this, we could see price return to the lead in trendline , to test it for support. That could also be near the highs formed during the bump phase.

In summary, this is not a perfect textbook bump and run reversal pattern. I think it does help to confirm that the bottom is in. However, I still think the overhead resistance is too great to be broken right now, and the indicators show clear exhaustion. Therefore, we should expect price to return to the lead in trendline , to test it for support as the theory suggests. That is what I think is the most likely scenario. From there, I think Bitcoin will progressively become more bullish .

I'm the master of the charts, the professor, the legend, the king, and I go by the name of Magic! Au revoir.

Pffff
So many more regs....

Just writing with no thinking and i just must stop cause its time to take a look @the inside of my eye lids

As I was doing my last analysis around Fibonacci, I discovered this trend line on the logarithmic chart that played a dominant role in the support of Bitcoin during it's last bull run.

See my fibonacci analysis here showing a strong resistance at the trend line I highlighted here.

The trend line has now flipped to resistance and we are currently facing it now.

To get back into a bull run, we need to reclaim this support!

This was a short one, but I wanted to highlight it for you guys after I found it!

Let me know what you guys think!

I also voted no. More than ready to be proven wrong, of course.

Is the bottom in? Well maybe, but a ~1k fall on the way to 6k can't be ruled out, as someone (Jojo?) said a few pages back.

I am going to keep it simple on this one. After all Bitcoin is not a complicated asset, it follows the same patters and cycles again and again (longer term to a greater extent).

So if you are into Fractal Analysis I have something for you that may be of interest. Since the December bottom we have a steady rise. Steady and not aggressive/ parabolic as BTC is still in the Accumulation Phase will most likely stay there for quite some time before it breaks or makes new All Time Highs again.

Steady price action calls for clearer patterns with more standard entry/ exit points. So I attempted to break down this steady rise into 3 Fractals, all having as a common factor the duration, which is approximately 53 days. Assuming the current one (3rd in succession) lasts for 53 days as well, what remains to be calculated is the relative price action within.

If it follows Fractal A then it ( Fractal C) should make an equally steady decline of around -22%.

If it follows Fractal B then it ( Fractal C) should trade sideways within 4900 and 5500 until its completion.

If I am taking a pick I would go with Fractal A mainly because it ( Fractal C) is close to Double Topping around the same time (22 days). Also the rise from their bottoms is more close.

usps deliver on weekans also
usps sunday delivery

Very shiny Sunday we have here, but BTC don’t leave the 5300 down only up!!

Get the fuck outta here with your bull shit!

Sorry to give you this bad news guys.

But Very sad news came from Srilanka.. Multiple Bomb blasts in churches during Easter service. At least 160 died and more than 500 people Injured in attacks.

Rip

When $6,000 damn it. I’m getting bored of this price range.

What's the main religion in Ceylon?

The fuck are you rambling about?

I'd be shocked if this wasn't some ISIS bullshit

Here's what will happen: we'll touch $ 5600 normally in less than 48 hours. At this moment I will say when we will touch 6000$. According to my research, I have 3 factors that tell me that is going towards 5600 $.

I will update if I have more than 30 likes

What do you mean by tagged? Negative trusted? That's some bullshit if they aren't spamming.

If you want to be bearish in this bullish market, you should have some reasons for this. Let me help you to support your position providing bearish signals one by one.

What if the market forms a double top? This chart pattern belongs to a reversal group of patterns and it can confirm a trend reversal or a correction as a "light version".
The double top will be confirmed if the price can break the local swing low. For this, the price will have to break 5000.00 support level .

The other bearish signals are provided by MACD lines and histogram. This indicator supports the downward movement.

RSI is not far from the overbought zone. The line dropped from the zone, moved upward and probably soon, we will see a new falling from 70 level.

DMI is bullish and confirms trend market conditions but... ADX line is at 50 level and it moves sideways. Probably it will start a downward movement and it will support the idea about the correction movement.

All these signals can be a good support for you if you want to see the market moving downward.

At the same time, you should understand that this possible trend reversal or the correction movement, it's just about the medium term. For the long run the market stays bullish and if the fundamental news supports the crypto, the bullish trend will be stronger and more reliable.

And what do you think about the medium term market movements? Are you waiting for the correction, the trend reversal or you would like to see the upward movement to 6000.00 resistance?

Mmmm keep your coins on bittrex, haha LoL!!

I’ll just keep them in cold storage, when you have coins to HODL.... Then talk where to HODL them.

"Bitcoin is a short! It's going back to 3500!!! Go to Bitmex and leverage everything you own right now!". Sound familiar? If you have been on the internet since Bitcoin's first attempt to retrace off the 5400 high, it should sound very familiar. It is the general consensus among the herd. In fact I have seen this sentiment posted on my comment forums regularly. Want more statistical proof? Just take a look at the Bitcoin short interest. And with the recent double top formation, I would not be surprised if this sentiment heightens even further.

I will be the first to say that I do not buy into resistance areas, I prefer to buy into support areas. Since the beginning of April, Bitcoin's short squeeze has pushed the price into a major resistance area that I have been pointing out to our followers countless times. The 5200 to 5800 area is a proportional resistance zone relative to the 6K level. From my perspective, the current resistance increases the likelihood of a retrace of lower levels, BUT that does not mean it will go there. Even with the current double top formation attempting to establish itself.

Here is what you need to realize: Price is lingering at a resistance. Weak markets, even temporarily weak DO NOT LINGER at resistance levels, they sell off quickly. The amount of time that Bitcoin has been fluctuating above 5K is about TWO WEEKS, all while short interest is biased to the high side. Not a good recipe for a short in my opinion. All these leveraged shorts piling in, yet no major supports are breaking. The 4930 to 5K area, is still nicely intact. Obviously the buying pressure continues to absorb the aggressive supply.

This was a very similar situation that we faced at the 4130 resistance area . If another short squeeze takes place (which can happen out of nowhere) price can easily see 6K which presents the next obstacle for this market. The fact that the general consensus is extremely bearish further adds to the argument in favor of higher prices rather than a deep retrace. The crowd is usually wrong (which is the foundation of most forex broker's business models).

In summary, there are NO absolutes in market timing. Good technical analysis presents possibilities and probabilities, not precision. And good perspective comes from considering variables that are not visible on a chart. Without this basic understanding of market mechanics, it is very easy to be conditioned by the irrational sentiment of the herd. Our objective is to detect structural changes around potential turning points in order to get a read on how likely forced order flow is to come next (short squeeze or long liquidations). And at the moment, AS LONG AS price can stay above the 4930 level, the chances of squeezing to 6K are still a reasonable possibility, even in the face of a major resistance zone (yes it is confusing and conflicting, but that is the market).

And with this being the case, I still stick to my plan which is to WAIT for a qualifying structural support. Would I like to see 4500? Sure, but the market does NOT care about what I like. The 4930 to 5K area is the active support area we are watching for a swing trade long, but it all depends on what kind of order flow Bitcoin presents upon a revisit.

Waiting...

Beautiful day, Bank Holiday (National Holiday) in the UK. Going to watch Pet Sematary, just grabbing a drink in the sun whilst we wait. I’m not a pussy, it’s a half pint as I’m driving

Have a fucking great day WO’s, hopefully still time for a green dildo this Bank Hol weekend.

BTC will not go up in a straight line, first we retest 4,8K again. From there it is to decide what happens next.
4,8K is a important Fibonacci retracement level
Divergences to be considered with RSI and MACD
OBV shows 4,8K as a possible resistance

Ah Satoshi finally returns.

Marvel had its BULLrun...... now I see its in a Deeeeeeeeeeep BEARmarket !

BTC market cap dominance at 2019 high now. Its gonna reclaim 60 percent this year

The King will reclaim his glory.

Look like BTC is forming a Rising Wedge inside a Pink bearish channel.
If BTC follows this case, we will have some safe days ahead

Hi. I think the top is in for this recent bull run, and that we will likely fall significantly from here. I don't think people are taking the downside risk here very seriously. Price was strongly rejected at the weekly 50 EMA (in black) and it's currently being suppressed by the 61.8% retrace, as well as the top of the ribbon on my screen. Not to mention, the NVT is bearish AF . Do what you want. I'm out of BTC until we retest significantly lower prices. The only thing that will make me change that view, is if we breakout above the weekly 50 EMA (in black.) However, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

To think that BTC will just tap the weekly 200 MA/EMA (like it did in December (purple/orange)) and then never test them again before we enter the next bull market, is extremely unlikely. Especially when you consider the log chart. When I look at my log chart, I can see that we still have not yet come into contact with the lower side of the arch. That is still quite a way out, in terms of time and price. It should happen somewhere in the 3000-4000 range. Knowing that, I'm going to sit on the nice pile of cash that I've made since December, and buy one metric F ton of Bitcoin when the time is right. Until then, I will be watching through my binoculars as the bears completely slaughter the naive, complacent, and unsuspecting bulls.

I'm The Master of The Charts, The Professor, The Legend, The King, and I go by the name of Magic! Au revoir.

***This information is not a recommendation to buy or sell. It is to be used for educational purposes only.***

Well I think if you mix up enough different time periods in the indicators one can tell pretty much any story they want too.   

I foll you master of the charts. I'm predicting that July 10th is when the bull market for BTC will start :-).

This is the broad view of Bitcoin . Looking at this chart, you can see how it has progressed throughout the entire history of its existence. There is absolutely no denying that it has held this rising arch (in blue) for nearly a decade. As a technical analyst, I can't deny that this arch is incredibly important to the progression of Bitcoin . Many people don't think we will return to the 3000-4000 range, and that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, I do believe that we will most likely return to the 3000-4000 range, and I have published a lot of technical evidence to justify my position.

Today, I'm going to share another reason why I believe that Bitcoin will return to the 3000-4000 range. First off, in every bear market Bitcoin has ever had, it has touched the bottom of the blue arch before the next bull market began. Granted, there have only been two prior bear markets. Though, each one has produced at least one touch of the bottom of the arch. Knowing this, I think there is a high probability that Bitcoin will once again return to the bottom blue arch, before entering the next bull market. From my view, that could happen at 3000 or even lower, depending on how fast BTC moves down from here. Now, I don't really think we will dip below 3000, but it is definitely possible. Especially since the bottom of the arch is still well below 3000.

The second reason I would like to present today, for why I believe that the market is going to have a nasty pullback, is the NVT . I'm not sure why, but I see a lot of people hating on this beautiful indicator. They say "oh it needs to be calibrated" and "it should only be viewed on some other time-frame than the one you're looking at" and blah blah blah. I don't care what anyone on the face of this earth has to say about the NVT . All I can see, is an indicator that has never failed. NOT ONCE! That's pretty flipping incredible if you ask me. Just look at the signals! I've extended them vertically so that you can see the reaction that price had on the chart. Literally every signal was a success. EVERY SIGNAL. Now, it's flashing a powerful sell signal. Each time we had a weekly sell signal in the past, the market fell at least to the 61.8% retrace. Currently, that's around where? Oh yeah, 4,100!! Most NVT weekly sell signals sent BTC even deeper than that. So, I think it is very realistic, from a technical perspective, that Bitcoin could fall dramatically. That's not to say that I don't think it will be enormously valuable in the future. Quite the contrary. I'm just smart enough to recognize the danger signs when they're there. Right now, I see many danger signs. Did I mention the weekly 50 EMA (in black) on this chart, which we were just rejected at? Even if we did somehow manage to get above that, there is an ENORMOUSLY POWERFUL CEILING OF RESISTANCE all around 6000! I've made my profits, and now I'm waiting for this bad boy to cool down so I can load my boat again. In the long term, Bitcoin will soar! But for now, there is more downside and sideways chop left in the market.

As you can see by the arrows on my chart, I expect that we will continue to chop sideways between the 6000 range and 3000ish for the majority of 2019, and possibly even into early 2020. I don't necessarily believe that we will see lower low, but it could happen. Particularly near October, based on cyclical market analysis that I've shared in the past. Anyway, that's my view for 2019.

I'm The Master of The Charts, The Professor, The Legend, The King, and I go by the name of Magic! Au revoir.

***This information is not a recommendation to buy or sell. It is to be used for educational purposes only.***

I could summarize my analysis on the following phrase: "Swing pull back, consolidation and almost $10000 by the end of 2019"!

But I guess that wouldn't be enough as you, like me, want some justification, a technical foundation behind every price movement. And you are right!

So on today's analysis I have used two indicators: the Gaussian Channel and the Normalized MACD (NMACD).

The Gaussian Channel clearly shows that Bitcoin is entering the red ( bearish reversal) zone which in 2015 delivered the last rejection before the final low of the consolidation phase (or as others like to call it the "Accumulation/ Distribution phase"). The final low (in 2015) provided a +165% rise on th next bullish sequence. If we apply this on the current price action, we will be looking at roughly $9650 by December 2019.

Note that both sequences take place within the swing curve leading into the Halvings.

On top of that, the NMACD clearly shows us where we stand within the cycle (noted with purple circles) and the consolidation that is to come.

Do you agree with my $10000 end-of-year estimate? Do you think it is too optimistic? As always let me know in the comments section!

another vote for ublock origin. i believe the original adblock sold out and now has an internal whitelist of ads it shows.

Coin Desk: Bitfinex’s Bitcoin Price Excluded from CoinMarketCap Average Calculation

Cryptocurrency data provider CoinMarketCap has excluded bitcoin prices provided by the troubled Bitfinex exchange from its weighted average calculation.

At last...

I believe manipulation is in full effect currently as these exchanges are trying to cover their butts to liquidate leveraged shorts that have been stacking. As a result this will extend the length of our current bear market, cause a much faster and harder drop and possibly take us to lows lower than previously expected by even the most bearish of bears. Sleep tight!

call your mother if you want to call!  

Forget about the bottom, Bitcoin has not even capitulated yet. Damn, I just love people and markets! How everything falls into place on its own. It's magical, unreal even how people fall for the same things over and over again. When I started trading seven years back, I was like no way this going to happen for long. I said to myself, "people are going to learn from this mistake and they'll be prepared the next time" but no, every time I saw the herd making the same mistakes over and over again. I guess markets never run out of suckers. Still, I find this so difficult to believe. Like how can this happen over and over again. Anyway, I digress. People are talking about Bitcoin having bottomed at $3,300 when it has not even capitulated yet.

You know what's perfect? I kept thinking where's the maximum pain scenario. A few weeks passed by and here we have it now. The whales pumped the price straight through $5,800-$6,000 without any hurdle. I'm not the only trader surprised by this. I know seasoned professional traders who did not see that coming. So, what did that do? It inflicted maximum pain on the bears. Imagine being short BTC right now, what would this parabolic move have done to you. It's brutal.

Now let's talk about the bulls. A few long green bars and everybody is all excited again. In fact, so excited that the sentiment has not even been this positive since the last parabolic run of 2017-18. Even the NVT ratio has never been this high in Bitcoin's entire history! Let that sink in for a minute. At a time when all of these indicators are screaming, "Sell, sell, sell" people are unconcerned. Everyone and their cousin is talking about a move to $20,000 or a new ATH by the end of the year. Imagine the maximum pain scenario when these people load up here and then the price falls to $1,800 or $1,200 in the months ahead. Yeah, it's going to be devastating but that's what we need for the trend to reverse. I've been saying this for a while now and those who have been around during 2014-15 can relate. It doesn't feel like this when the price bottoms. It feels like the end of Bitcoin . You are going to see more of "Bitcoin is dead", "the bubble popped" and the "ponzi collapsed". Be on your toes, fellow trader.

After the pullback on Thursday night, the bears are at it again. Yes the same "experts" that have been calling for a huge pullback since, let me check 4k, are ignoring the structure and proportion of this rally which is clearly bullish . Unfortunately many have missed out on the rally or simply flip their calls depending on the direction of the wind. One simple pullback and they are making up patterns or simply covering their tracks with IF statements and no clear calls one way or the other. I consider this weather forecasting not Technical Analysis .

I'll be straight forward here: BUY THE DIP!

Let me make a prelude. This article is for investors and position traders, not swing or daytrading. Different strategies with different intents.

Bitcoin continues to simply grind higher and quite frankly the run is likely not over yet. The current pullback or wave (4) of the bullish swing, is proportional to wave (2). In my opinion this is likely the lower end of the consolidation we are seeing currently. Can we go lower? Sure, but broader bullish momentum is picking up, not slowing down. In addition the selloff Thursday night, or Friday morning, depending on where you are, was absorbed quickly. Across social media, complaints about not being able to sign in and buy the dip.

Pessimists Abound

There are also way to many pessimists and bears around still calling for lower levels or capitulation to new lows. Don't kid yourself, few if any of these guys have bought during the low, or already sold their load of coins. Remember the calls for "LOCK IN PROFITS" at 4000-4500 and 5k? Way to early, and we actually added at 5150, though we trimmed half of that position off at 6300. We figured it was an area that we could at least buy back if it did move higher. Well maybe I was wrong, but we are still holding a position from 3550 and half of one from 5150 and freed up some capital on Thursday to buy the dip. Regardless we got the bulk of this move, and are ready to add.

In my opinion anything under 7k is a buying area now. Just looking at the structure of the chart, momentum is picking up not slowing down. We also have a three wave fractal cycle that appears to be structurally and proportionally correct forming a mid term wave (3). With wave (4) proportional to wave (2) we can look at wave (5) being proportional to wave (1) and this puts us at around 9k. Now this is just a preliminary target and more of a guide of where we want to look for a top. This would complete wave "1" in the broader cycle, on our path to 24k.

One thing I can tell you is that attempting to short a market where buying momentum is picking up, in the face of pessimists is a risky endeavor. In addition shorting here is extremely dangerous as wave (2) was drawn out, and wave (4)'s are generally the opposite of wave 2's so this could be quick and simple. A drop and pop, sucking in shorts, and stopping them out.

Ignoring a Fundamental Change:

Many are so stuck in their own bias they are ignoring the fundamental change to this market and are actually part of the sentiment driving the market. Just look at the top articles on TV and on social outlets. Calls for 4500 have turned to 5500 which implies even the most bearish of the bears are raising their targets. Sure there is still that guy clinging onto a capitulation into the abyss, but overall bears are raising support levels. Something to consider as it pertains to market sentiment.

I still can't believe many are ignoring the liquidity and access trading platforms like TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, Motif Investing and Fidelity will bring to the market. You think Coinbase is adding crap coins at a record pace after years of only wanting the premium coins? It is because the fundamentals of the market are about to change and most of these exchanges are going to go belly up. Coinbase is attempting to position ahead of the change.

This is simple fruition and the only thing many of these crappy exchanges can cling to is crap coins. No moving average, oscillator or other indicator is going to give you a heads up on this fundamental change. These markets provide access to 10's of millions of traders with Trillions of dollars in assets.

However price action is clearly showing us this is happening. All these market gurus are selling their inventory to someone, and do you think that someone is the retail investor? You know the guy yelling SELL at every technical level only to see the market get away? Or those calling for H&S patterns, diverging bats and butterfly dreams, that are meaningless in these market conditions? Or those that just forecast the weather and never have the gonads to make an actual call.

Here is a call:

Buy the dip and put it away, the path is clear for 24k. Ok I have been watching Gotham episodes on Netflix . Favorite character so far, the penguin! I digress.

Can 4500 happen:

Sure it can, we are not naive to make a statement that it is impossible. We never thought we would see 3200. We did, but we had a plan and 5 months later we are back to and above where we were and profited from this. The difference is we can hold and add into an improbable move when we are wrong. We took advantage of the improbable, and now are sitting in a descent position. Of course we always think, boy I wish I would have added more, but hey I wish I bought Amazon at $5 in 2002 too and played 6-2 off-suit with 3 all ins the other night in the tournament only to see 662 hit the board.

Those levels are likely gone, so we look at moving forward.

Do you want to continue to watch Bitcoin move higher, and miss every opportunity to add? Hey pulls back to 4500, I am a buyer, it is all about position size. I said that at 3550 when the trolls gave me crap, calling for 2k. I said if it gets there I am a buyer too, by the way where are all those guys lately? Regardless I would have kept adding into the dip as my time frame is long term. If it pushes back to 4500 I will be adding more.

As I have written about here and on our site for weeks. 3500 & 4500 are likely gone and hoping it gets back there before you add might have you missing out on the broader move. Also if you didn't have the balls to buy the pullback to 3500, you will likely get cold feet if we get to 4500. Remember all those at 6k last year waiting to buy 4500 or 3500 yet got scared when it got there? There are scared investors and there are bold investors, you have to determine which one you are. I never seen a scared investor make any money.

We are looking to buy this dip! THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

SHORT
Bitcoin VS Coca Cola - Trend Analysis. Dump soon..?

Today we decided to compare crpyto and stock markets. On the image above you can see a Bitcoin chart and the Coca-Cola company chart. The similarity is very obvious, very pity that nothing really unifies them. There are only two similarities: both are assets and, what is more important, both currencies trade people.

The value of Coca-Cola stocks depends on the demand for this company. Let me give you an example. In 2007, Coca-Cola bought a fresh factory in Russian, Moscow (capital city). This action led to a growth in stocks, as the company started covering a large part of the region and began to produce more product, thereby increased profits. However, at the end of 2007, workers of this factory started organizing strikes because Coca-Cola reduced their salaries. The productivity of this factory has decreased, and because of the fact that this factory was the only way for the company to develop in the region, the outflow of funds from the company increased and the stock price began to decline.

If we talk about Bitcoin , the growth of its price can start after the SEC approves ETF. This HUGE event will lead to an increase of the crypto popularity, thereby to an increase of crypto currencies price, mainly of Bitcoin . As you know, the decision about ETF was postponed, due to this nasty fact, the market phase changed from a growth to consolidation, the same price behaviour we can see on the Coca Cola chart. The ETF postponement means an outflow of funds from the crypto-market for a number of reasons:
1. It is early to invest because it is not reliable yet.
2. People fix profits, as there will be no bullrun yet.
3. People fix profits as they will be able to buy back for a lower price

And now we have to take a look at the charts of these currencies. Oscillators follow the same line, the price is a little bit different during some moments, but it is absolutely normal, as it goes inside all major patterns and channels. We can see the identity of up and down trends. The most striking things are the identity of charts after falling: consolidations at the lowest points, a massive pump which led to the breakout of the strong resistance. The drop of Coca-Cola stocks began falling because of almost the same reasons with Bitcoin . Assets are very similar and it would be foolish to deny this fact.

Retina, bro you might want to add source too in your post. I remember someone pointing out to you here.

India is heaven for Vegans and Vegetarians without any doubt. majority of Indians eat at least some sort of meat dishes too but Vegans and Vegetarian are in very good numbers as well.

Main Vegans and Vegetarians come from Jain, Brahmin Families. My GF is Muslim, she and half of her family are Vegetarian too. ( which is kind of depressing for me because I love Mughlai food)


Go slow with Spicy food if you don't want to disturb your belly. that's a trick.

Indian food in Kerala blew me away. If you enjoy Indian food and Indian cuisine and Indian street food, then I think you'll love my Indian food series. This time I came to Southern India to sample specialty foods from Kerala. I was invited to a local home and had an amazing home cooked meal! We also had a Keralan backwaters canoe paddle! It was the best experience from my trip to india! You can check out my other Indian food videos on my channel!

So far, $8k is holding decently well.  Will be interesting to see if the weekly plays out as green or red. 

We have about 33 hours before the weekly candle closes, and it looks like we need to be slightly above $8,200 for the weekly candle to come out as green.  Gonna be a nail biter?

^
Damn just saw the answer was already been served properly

F*** the b00z hit me fast today, just 23.45 local time and i'm home already damn not of my normal habits ........

Here are 10 reasons why you should consider to buy Bitcoin right now and why I think that a possible next leg upwards is waiting just around the corner.


1. Yesterday's candle close was above the $8,000 above the psychological number - $8,000 is a round number and it should act as a resistance level but the price manages to close above of it.

2. Yesterday's candle close made a break above the triangle (red lines). Chart pattern breakouts are usually really good when the breakout has occurred into the trend direction. At the moment, the trend is definitely upwards and the breakout has occurred upwards, so, really nice. Also, the breakouts are more reliable on the higher timeframes. If the breakout above or below the chart pattern has occurred on the 1H timeframe then this is a bit weaker breakout than on the Daily, as it is right now, perfect!

3. EMA 8 & 21 on the 4H timeframe have a Golden Cross which is good confirmation for further movements upwards after the breakouts.

4. EMA 100 & 200 have a Golden Cross on the Daily chart , which is supporting that current breakout into the trend direction.

5. Break above the small Bull Flag . It has made yesterday but still, we can count this as a momentum sign.

6. We have an unusual chart pattern. Actually, we have a chart pattern but in an unusual area. The pattern is an Inverted Head and Shoulders ( IHS ). Usually, the IHS is a reversal chart pattern and it occurs at the end of a downtrend but currently, it is top of the trend and it doesn't work as a reversal pattern. Currently, it is just a small indication for further movements upwards and it should work as a slight continuation pattern. The pattern gets valid after the break above the neckline, let's say a candle close above the strong area at $8,200. Then we have again 2 in 1 - break above the chart pattern and break above the strong area at $8,200

7. Usually, the resistance areas getting weaker after every hour after every day when the price stays into the resistance area . If the price stays into the previously noted resistance or support area too long then it decreasing the trade success rate. Currently, we waited for throwback and actually we got it but the price climbed still back into this area and probably it is ready to make another leg upwards because it has been too long in this resistance area , which is actually pretty strong.

8. The last Weekly candle close gave us a 66% probability, over a small sample size, that the price may go to the higher levels.
Over the past, the Weekly candle has closed above the $8,000 price level three times.
Two times it has moved upwards:
- Breakthrough on 2017 November guided the Bitcoin price into the ATH ( all-time high), close at $8,031
- Breakthrough on 2018 April guided the price to the $10,000 price level, close at $8,355
One time it had a fakeout
- Breakthrough on 2018 July was a fakeout, close at $8,216 and next week the candle goes back below $8,000.

9. Lately, we have seen pretty good fundamentals and Bitcoin is again on the bigger picture.

10. Feel free to support my effort by hitting the "LIKE" button, it is my only fee from You and this will help to pump BTC price into the higher levels!


Have a nice weekend,
Cheers!

8K and 66bucks

Of to HODLlandiaaaa!!!!! Gonna sleep the wine out so I can go and have a clear mind to bring out my EU vote tomorrow..... actualy what a waste of F***ing good time, pfffff less time to spend in my precious HODLsleep  

For the rest goodnight Bro's of tha Wall.....

We broke the 8100ish, but no real reaction at all. So i might have been wrong about thinking it was an important level. We even touched 8200 almost. But still low volume during the move up. There is no real increase of volume during this move up from the 7500. This is usually a sign for a bearish movement, at least a decent correction again to maybe make a higher low. But it just keeps crawling up.

Alts improved today, but i am still not very convinced of a move up. The volume just doesn't feel good. Also weekend ahead of us. Like we have seen a few times lately, some significant moves during the weekend. Since i see weekends where most manipulation happens, it can easily be both ways at this point. So i am still looking down, betting less convinced of it.

Yeah, when I wake up I only want  a one man proper breakfast to bite in and flush the Saturday evening away.

What is the real value of Bitcoin from your point of view? Is it above 8000.00 level? Is it below 8000.00 level? Please, share your ideas in the comments.
Why do I ask you such a question? The main reason is to show you the possible difference between the real value and the current price. How it will be, we will know in your comments.

The situation, when there is a difference between the real value and the current price, can give us understanding in which direction the market will move. Also, the difference between these two values can lead us to a new bubble, the price which is not supported by fundamental factors. In order to understand my idea, please, look at 2017 year, when we got a typical bubble probably after the breakout above 5000.00 level. The market was supported only by hype and by the uneducated crowd of traders pushing the market higher and higher to 20 000 level. The real value at that time was lower than the current price. The fundamental factors did not support the market and it dropped a lot in some time. That falling was an attempt to move back to the real value which was based on fundamental factors and included all news about the market. And the level like 3000.00 could become the zone where the real value of Bitcoin at that moment and the current price met each other.

All bubbles lead to great fallings. And not always it can be good for the market. What I can see now, it looks like we have a new attempt to create a new bubble, where the real value of Bitcoin will be lower than the current price supported by the uneducated crowd of traders, manipulators, and new hype.

That's why it will be interesting to get your opinion about the real value of Bitcoin to understand better, how far we are from creating a new bubble. Let's discuss!

As for Technical Analysis based on the weekly chart, we have a strong uptrend where the market continues the impulse wave. The main question stays the same - when does the market start the correction? Now it is a good time for making mistakes and opening long positions without waiting for the correction movement. But also nobody wants to miss the opportunity to make some profit.

RSI reached the overbought zone. If the price bounces from 8000.00 resistance, RSI will be able to provide a good signal confirming the possible price reversal. MACD lines and histogram support the further upward movement and DMI confirms the strength of buyers. As you can see, we still have bullish signals confirming the upward movement in spite of the market which looks overbought.

Will the price bounce from 8000.00 or it will be able to reach 10 000.00 before the correction? We will see and for better understanding, we need to wait for the close price of this weekly candle. If we get a reversal candlestick pattern, the variant with the correction will be supported by one more bearish signal. If not, the market becomes crazier and we should not be surprised if it continues the upward movement to 10 000 level.

But will it be good for the market and all the participants? It is a very interesting question for discussion.

Of course it is, I should have guessed you wouldn't settle for any thing less than top notch.  The sights would have given that away, but...

Here's my colt officer's model.  This would be the gun I would carry if I lived in Free America instead of Commifornia.




Yeah, I have a thing for 1911s, and colts, and WWII history.  It's a dangerous combination.

Bitcoin has been hard lately - Damn, I have said that many times lately. BUT OUR FAMILY still makes money, so we are happy. This week we made +200% ROI - It just makes my job harder

Our TA shows that, the Bulls again have taking over. I am surprised HOW strong the bulls are - its unbelievable what we are witnessing.

First of all we haven't seen serious selling pressure after the accumulation phase at 3,200 USD. Not even that - WHEN we have seen the bears try, the Bulls have just been ready and buy up instantly after.


TA says up, my intuition says down

I'm in a dilemma. The Price movement, the indicators tell us that we WILL go UP. The Market Sentiment is also Bullish . We are of course not seeing these huge drop in BTC-dominance at the moment, but as I said before- it never happens when we are at a key level. Especially because we have been here for a long time.

We are on the 4th Wave, and it look like we have a triangle correction ABCDE, where E will kickstart a new impulse wave.


What is INTUITION

When I say my intuition says down, it is based on Market Psychology. Cause I know how the different players think. So I know what the whales want, how the Smart and Dumb Money thinks.

There are JUST SOMETHING THAT TELLS ME, that UP is a bull trap. We need to go down first. It would be so more healthy and profitable for the whales to STop Hun down first, and push the price so low, that the whales get BTCs on discount but furthermore, that it also will have this sideeffect that, it will convert a lot of LONGS to SHORTS, what the whales want.



Parabolic Bull Run

BEcause hereafter the Whales will ONCE again turn around, and STOP HUNT Shorts. That would be a perfect play until we get the price so high, that new Retail investors come into the market and buy the top on the 5th wave and get screwed again, like last time, when they bought at 17-20k.

$8,500 was like a blip on the radar.

Almost missed it, if not paying attention, but logically, anyone should have understood in order to get to $8,939 from $8,027, would have had to pass through $8,500 at some point, no?  Unless magical internet money does not need to pass through $8,500?      

That's what's gonna happen to those who choose the wrong side.

We all know that $BTC has formed an up-trend. However, recently Bitcoin just broke through the major resistance ($8500), exactly from this resistance the market started dumping to $3000 in the 2018 year. This fact makes $BTC growing twice stronger.


The next closest resistance is located in the zone $9300 - $9400. Moreover, at the 1D chart, RSI has formed a divergence. By the way, Stoch . RSI just came out from the oversold zone, so RSI still has time to form a third top from the resistance (as mentioned on the chart), either it will be a simple double top which is divergence too. The closest support zone is located in the zone $8200 - $8500, there you can confidently open a LONG position.

In case 1-5-ABC pattern will work out, the price will form a H&S pattern that will $BTC dump lower to $6000 levels.

Today, I have nothing to strive for, since I woke up a millionaire!
It feels like it is not!

Probably everyone has already realized that Bitcoin is aiming the moon.
I am a person who trades on trend and recommend it to you too.
You can shout a lot that bitcoin will end and it will soon go to the bottom, but judging by the analysis of cycles, Bitcoin will reach the bottom maybe in 3-4 years. The bull market is just at the beginning.

And each drawdown as it was yesterday is an opportunity to buy bitcoin cheaper.
The capitalization of the market is growing, the volume of trading is growing, stablecoins is getting bigger.
Countries are increasingly talking about cryptocurrencies. In general, the industry is developing and everything is still in front. No one is going to die, but only those who say that you are going to the bottom. At the bottom you will stay.
Of course, I don’t want to be so optimistic to say that we are going for $ 1 million, but if you think about it, any good news about cryptocurrency strengthens the opinion in people’s mind that cryptocurrency is a reality that cannot be avoided and moreover cryptocurrency has to be adopted.

Technical analysis
We can see a clear up trend. And we are moving in this channel, below this channel I showed two trendlines coloured in blue. This is the maximum to which we can fall and after that we go up inevitable.
At the top we have a strong Fibonacci level of 38.2 at $9,500
If we break it (I have no doubt about it) we will reach the next psychological level of 10k which if we break it we will go to the next level 50% 11500

D4rkEnergY will explain to you, why this situation is so important. When D4 looks at a chart, he sees a story. He sees the different players in the field, and how they have been acting.

Then he interpretes the story, and based on the history he will predict whats going to happen in the future. Nobody is better than he is to predict the future. Nobody understands Bitcoin better than him!

He is THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE in the Universe that makes everything expands. He has now also PROVEN to EVERYONE, that he is able to make THE HIGHEST ROI than anybody else!

But HE is not selfish - cause he shares his ROI with his FAMILY MEMBER. But Not EVERYONE can be part of the family..... Only the Chosen ones...

THE GREEN AREA

We here had a very steady and steep uptrend. The bulls are just pushing forward and killing shorts. That was the main purpose back then, when everyone didnt believe we would go through 6k and everyone was talking about a New Low. But D4 knew better and was a contrarian and made lots of money.

We had very little selling pressure, and when we saw some selling, the bulls just instantly bought up.

Imagina a tank. Thats how a tank operates. Its just continues, and every time the enemy tries to attack it, nothing happens.

RED AREA

We reached 8,500 USD, and we see a change in the price structure. The first thing we see is a Stop Hunt. The Whales are starting for the first time really to punish the Longs!

They are like: Dont think this will happen for ever, guys, ok?

And now the price movement starts to be different for real. You can see its more like bumpy ride. Whats happening is, that we are getting closer to 10,000 USD, which is psychologically is a very important number.

Some bulls are getting anxious. Its very obvious that we are seeing more selling pressure. But look at my 2 green big arrows. Every time we are getting too low the Whales are here to support the uptrend. And the uptrend DOES continue.

Once again when we are going above 9k USD, the whales are punishing the Longs again with another Stop Hunt. Its just a reminder to the Longs.

Dont beleive it will happen forever, guys.

WHAT IS THE STORY TELLING US - AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW?

To make a lot of money like D4 and have THE HIGHEST ROI , you need to understand and interpret the sitation, and use it to your advantage. Let D4 explain.

Its telling us, that the whales want us to go up! And that is also why, D4 has been keep telling you, that we will most likely go above 10k and will have a new Bull Market, and a parabolic Bull Run!

They will punish the bulls once in a while, BUT they have a clear vision. When we get above 10k USD we will slowly see more newcomers come in to the market. That is the plan. And then we will ride the 5th wave as high as we can, until the Whales Will make a Massive sell and stop it!

D4 also knows when that will happen, but will only reveal it for his FAMILY. D4 will soon PICK THE CHOSEN ONES, and let them be part of THE FAMILY and make a lot of money too.

Give a LIKE if you want to be ONE OF D4s CHOSEN ONES and you might get lucky and be part of the family...

I am also starting to feel a bit scared, when btc hits $100k, I'll probably be the poorest fuck in the party especially after seeing the poll results (%38 are hodling more than %80 of their total networth in btc)

Some of you guys probably won't mind spending $100k in a day in the party.

No sir, that's too much. I am pretty fine with smoking weed and banging the red light chicks in Amsterdam.  

Your in a hard day of work

Why don’t take the honour of creating yourself a special breaking 10K HAT or something

I would of Said a 9K-Vegeta HAT in honour of.... But there is already a member that has a Vegeta as avatar so Maybe a temporarily into 5-Dig ....

I think we’ll probably get over $9,000 this next week. Got a feeling we’re due a next leg up soon.
Nice quiet evening in for me tonight & fly back to the UK tomorrow.

Probably everyone has already realized that Bitcoin is aiming the moon.
I am a person who trades on trend and recommend it to you too.
You can shout a lot that bitcoin will end and it will soon go to the bottom, but judging by the analysis of cycles, Bitcoin will reach the bottom maybe in 3-4 years. The bull market is just at the beginning.

BTC has over the past few days had some major STOP HUNTS on all the major exchanges taking out many margin traders, but if you have managed to survive the carnage and are still LONG... BTC is going to make yet another attempt at the 10K Target...

BUT... this attempt will only see $9444 before a deeper correction, and then a 10k attempt. So if you are thinking of making a SHORT TRADE... patience, the time is coming...

EVEN BTC NEEDS TO REFUEL !!

But don't be concerned about this correction, there are different types of corrections and this correction is known as a TECHNICAL CORRECTION which is not to be confused with a TREND REVERSAL We are still very much within our parabola and still very much within our rise to targets.

What is the difference between a technical correction and a trend reversal?

A technical correction occurs when an assets price becomes overinflated in a bullish trend , the price experiences an extreme selloff which is sometimes unexpected and swift, with a steep drop . This swift drop sometimes causes market panic and the Bears come out to play with their potential reversal charts, to extreme levels, I have seen some of those charts right here on TV amongst some of the top traders and top trending charts, but it is really important to know the difference between a technical correction and a trend reversal.

When we are looking to see the differences we need to assess the entire market sentiment, and it is important follow the money trail, by looking at what I spoke about in my last BTC update, with the money flow and BTC Dominance. We also need to look deeper into news and media as to what they are reporting, if mainstream media are starting to have conversations about the state of the CryptoCurrency markets in a positive way, then we need to think that we are in a technical reversal and BUY THE DIP ,

In a bullish market it is not always easy to determine where and when a technical correction will occur as they are mainly controlled by the bigger players (whales) creating liquidity for themselves.

So don't confuse a Technical corrections with a potential reversal as you are going to wish you bought BTC at 7K or 8K when we are up at 11K

So the best advice I can give you right now, is while the market is still in a bullish mindset, BUY THE DIP!

Do you even follow us?

The negotiations started from $50k/person. Thanks to me and my haggling skills I lowered it to $10k. Be grateful.

Holy fucking shit!!!!!!

I had not even realized that this change had taken place.

There must be some kind of investigation and/or harassment of the local bitcoin's administrators to cause them to go down such an extreme path in such a short period of time.

First, within the past 6 months or so, they had begun to require additional information to be provided to them through the deployment of further AML/KYC requirements, and some of us Local bitcoin users likely complied with those seemingly draconian changes, and then they went a step further (most recent changes), with even more severe (seemingly draconian measures)...

Gotta be something BIG going on with them behind the scenes.

By the way, when I read this article, and as I drafted my response post, I decided to go to my LocalBitcoin's account to see what was going on, and I saw that my advertisements had been deactivated, and it even appears that they had reduced my ability to create advertisements, and I could not figure out what was going on.  I looked to see whether they had created some kind of notice or message, and I could not see any kind of explanation or disclosure whatsoever.  

Made me nervous, so I decided to withdraw all of my BTC.  I mean, what is the purpose of keeping coins there if there seems to be absolutely no way to use their exchange, except to go through some kind of bank (or money service) transfer with any potential contacts?  

All of this seems quite sad for anyone who may have built a decent reputation on such service.  I will keep my account for a bit of time and monitor whether they might change back to some version of their previous service or maybe they will send out some kind of explanation regarding what is going on that will sufficiently clarify the seeming change of their past practice.  

Seems like this local bitcoin's change is going to inspire the generation of some new services to possibly fulfill such a hole that seems to have been created by such a previously popular service.... also, could be interesting to see whether this is a world-wide change or whether the change only affects certain kinds of customers.. geographically identified or otherwise identified?

I surely wouldn’t mind, but Will Theoak* be there to see it??

Why? What's wrong with the pool?

WO party thoughts:

If everyone is getting to the location city under their own steam, $1K for a weekend event based around a decent venue would be simple enough to pull off. It could be a venue / hotel with one big night 'in' but in any decent city, there wouldn't necessarily be the need (or obligation) to all stay over in one place.  

A dinner, a celebration involving some organised moments and entertainment for the big night, sure.

But also a get together in advance / meet and greet excuse ahead of it (the day/evening before maybe, once everyne's in town), plus a day's optional events after the big night.  If the third day events are (say) 'supercar driving' or 'helicopter races', then sure, it would be more costly than (say) a bar and a band, or go-kart racing, but the suggestions could be found with consensus and be optional for those who want to pay to take part, while not a cost to come along and watch with a beer.  There would be little point in not socialising, but it needn't be embarrassingly forced, just things to allow relaxed mingling, laid on at key points.

One formal, fancy and structured evening with 'befores and afters' that are up to whoever fancies them can work to build a great weekend around.

I'd reckon since everyone is different, a central and classy / very cool thing can be agreed as a base point, then add-ons can be fun extras that you can enjoy or skip or choose an alternative to.  Every town has it's appeals for exploring, and adventures to seek accordigng to taste - so some time that is unstructured is a good idea.  

If a bunch fancy the beach, or the casino on the afternoon after for a little recovery, why not?  Then a meet up later for a bite and a few more beers somewhere relaxed (and again booked) for a bit of a VIP feel would be a nice way to catch up with everyone again.... And maybe round the weekend off with people who have met at last, or stay on and send time with new (old) friends, if you fancy it.

Whatever it is, it must be memorable; something to never forget, something fun you know if you told them back home what you'd done for the weekend they'd be jealous.  But.... also it would be your reward for all the sitting in front of a screen for countless hours, someting you always hoped that one day you'd feel was finally paying you back, big time.  Something that is worth treating yourself to....  And sharing with some of the people you been through it with.

Excuse the ramble - but what d'you reckon:  

A little freedom and a little classy structured stuff - options for wild or chilled... according to need / mood / budget?

Edited a little - I am still thinking..!

EDIT 2:  Jeez - party plans on hold?!!!
 

Where's da Sunday pomp?  

Rollercoaster Tycoon?

Weekly closed with a bullish engulfing, im expecting more green this week, atleast touching 10k.

My vote for 9000-9250 for todays close seems to be pretty good so far
