Icon's icx will blow up! Yesterday's top is tomorrow's bottomMoore's law has tought us that historic evolutionary patterns are happening 10 times faster after each new technological or scientific breakthrough when it hits the mainstream public worldwide. This breakthrough is then followed by a parabolic and very bubbly event, only to face a dozens month old bloody correction, while finally allowing the new market to mature as it becomes adopted and globally regulated. The end result causes yesterday's all time highs to become tomorrow's new bottoms. But what history has shown is that only a few select will rank above everything else and this will only take place when the potential promise of a strong vision is fulfilled on a global scale changing humanity's habits in a way we never thought possible.
The last time a transition like the one I'm describing above happened was between 1984 and 2020. This has been a time of great change that started when Nasdaq introduced the internet to the world as early as the 1980s. When the Soviet Union was falling and the Berlin wall fell a new world was being reshaped thanks to the start of the internet era. These highlights preceded another historic event 2 decades later. Of course, we've all heard about 9/11 and how it paralized the entire world in 2001. After the dust settled, it took the internet market almost 6 years to hit the peak of a sucker's relief rally and mark the end of the dotcom bubble burst. The parabolic unexpected rise that the internet bubble displayed the first time, was something that is still unbelievable to this day. Even though denial and disbelief are a thing of the past, we can still wonder what those so called experts have to say today when asked if our computer pundits lacked all common sense back in the day? Well look at how unimaginably far "electronic wonderland" has come. The internet did indeed replace traditional systems used by banks and governments in the 1990s. Now another global event is about to close a chapter that started as early as 2008 when the global recession took place. We're seeing one after another industrial revolution, each time happening exponentially faster and in a more impactful way than the previous one. The world is being taken by storm yet again, as cryptocurrencies more than outperformed in the last quarter of 2017 and in the early days of 2018. In contrast and just like the dotcom bubble peak back in 2001, both astonishing events preceded a very bloody correction in the 2 years that followed. Both events witnessed by today's freelancer and entrepreneurial millenials, saw Nasdaq find the true bottom around the fourth quarter of 2002 followed by a crystal clear relief sucker's rally that lasted 6 years up until 2007 soon ensued by a higher bottom to spike a much much bigger rally that continues today.
Now that the cryptocurrency market is maturing, we can see history in the making as bitcoin did indeed reach a massive technological breakthrough at the end of 2017 followed by a 2 year bloody correction. This time though, moore's law didn't disappoint as the bitcoin market printed a 6 month sucker's relief rally ensued by a higher bottom just a few short months later, signaling the end of the bear market and hinting at another meteoric, more progressive but healthier bullrun between now and 2030, if not earlier.
As thousands of internet startups went bankrupt after 2001 and few of them started recovering from 99% losses, Amazon, tesla, google, microsoft and facebook just to name a few have prospered immensely from that moment onwards, and in what an outstanding way!
So, if 2020 is a strong indicator of what's to come in this exciting brave new orwellian and huxle'y's world, there's a big green light that the cryptocurrency and blockchain market is going to shock the world 10 times faster than the internet 2.0 market has to date!
As you can already see Nasdaq is nearing bubble levels again, there are internet stocks that have not just recovered to 2001's all time highs after losing 99% of their value, but have reached new gains ranging from 33,000% to 100,000% gains since then with the big internet giants leading the way and Tesla surprising the most.
If 99% of altcoins do and will eventually die out, I have absolutely no doubt one under the radar startup that's become the bridge to leverage the smart cities and connected cities of tomorrow bridged by blockchain technology that's run on Central Bank Digitally Based currencies and X-road replicas, is going to absolutely excel more than anyone can imagine. I very strongly believe, a startup based in Samsung's Seoul city, at the heart of a breathtaking and modern South Korea, neighbour to Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Shenzhen, while indexed on techcrunch's database over at crunchbase, called: Iconloop,
is amongst that narrowed list of the top 1% baby companies that will become a behemoth to witness this decade.
There is a very real possibility that we will see Icon foundation's token price with symbol ICX hit anywhere from 1 to 2 dollars in the first quarter of this year and 3 to 5 dollars throughout 2020, and anywhere from 50 to 60 dollars by 2030, if not before that.
In conclusion: Yesterday's top is tomorrow's bottom.

ICX/USDT Iconloop is hitting $3 in April 2020, and $60 in 20302020.02.02 is the the first global palindrome day in 909 years. This date was chosen to introduce a theme that now resounds globally due to climate change and other governmental challenges that developed cities and emerging economies face on a wide scale:
At the start of 2020 We Celebrate the past, and create the future. We are ready to embrace Smart Cities, Connected Cities by Hyperconnecting the world.
As I write this post, ICX is up more than 350% in only 30 days! Why? It has a sudden skyrocketted 24 hour volume of 420 million and is now number 33 on coinmarketcap.
As I did a thorough research on what exactly is iconloop blockchain and who are behind it I was completely mindblown to the smithereens.
Iconloop blockchain has received open government support, vc funding and has been approved by South Korean FSC for some time now. It also has wide support from some of the largest Korean banks and the United Nations to continue presenting South Korea's capital Soul city the best example of a Hyperconnected Smart City.
The chronological milestones that connect the dots back to iconloop and icon foundation are a real jaw dropping experience. People are quickly realizing who is really behind iconloop and how price will catch on with the list of developments achieved so far, despite the fact that iconloop and icon foundation are only 4 years old. This recent price action suggests the genie is finally out of the lamp, YES!
The sleeping giant is waking up as it takes the world by storm!
Over the past 2 years alone, ICON has Partnered with a myriad of companies , to connect the largest Korean bank records, health history, higher education credentials , transportation services, authentification requirements mandated by local governments.
Thanks to Iconloop and Samsung's dpass, citizens can have a new digital identification through Samsung Pay and Idemia that's already already being used is one of many Samsung subsidiaries working towards the same cooperative vision of interconnecting the world and is being implemented by a growing number of countries worldwide, the largest korean banks also use iconloop's technology to connect smart citizens to bank records including SBI .
Colombia is an example of a progressive country in an emerging economy Colombia 's, who had been seeking a way to replicate x-roads model of interoperability . In this case, they had waited for a solution like iconloop not available to the world for many years, 8 years later after updating their public transportation system with the help of Korean banks and Seoul government , they've finally announced a digital id system is on the way to continue of a cashless society, and of course they are not the only ones racing to get there.
South Korea's first Central Bank Digital Currency bridged through iconloop called S-Coin will release this same year!
South Korea’s ministry of science and technology has plans to invest 450 billion won (~$382 million) for blockchain research and development in the next 4 years.
Yahoo finance and crunchbase reported the startup with 100+ employees has recently received more than 8 million dollars in funding out of an announced 382 million destined to the same set of solutions offered by iconloop.
The list of commercial partnerships keeps growing at a skyrocketting pace!
Forbes writing about an Invisible ‘Global Currency’ That’s 24 Times Bigger Than Bitcoin hinting at Mastercard, Visa who resound the global vision of Samsung called Digitally Connected Smart Cities. Mastercard and Visa brochures promoting a cashless world with efficient transportation systems like the one mastered by Seoul while featuring internationally awarded and a recognized former Mayor of Bogotá. Bogotá is one of many cities that accepted a total of 176 million dollars from LG CNS , a Korean services company and subsidiary of the LG Group, confirming their responsibility for providing the most advanced information technology solutions of its kind to Recaudo Bogota, representing Korea’s largest ever information-technology services export as iconloop continues leveraging the technology implemented in Seoul’s public transport system to develop a custom solution for smart cities, hyper connected cities by 2030. Their plan is to meet modern cities fare collection, fleet management, and user-information needs.
Korean banks backing mobility and transportation hyper connected smart city solutions since the Millenium, like for instance Bogotá transit system backed by Smart Cities confirming they are looking to integrate iconloop blockchain technology developed at the heart of Samsung's Seoul city.
By connecting the dots, you soon realize why iconloop will be worth billions of dollars by 2030, that puts the value of each icx utility token in circulation to about 60 dollars a piece.
This is THE best investment that can truly change your life. Project price by December of 2021, 12 dollars! This year it will hit 3 dollars! Current price? less than 50 cents.
A true gem.

Mastercard looks good on the charts. While it has had a great run and bulls have been on a roll, its getting close to the overbought zone.
I have rolled out on the charts various important levels on the charts that may be important levels for future support/ resistances to look out for in the future
Since Mastercard is at all-time highs, we need to look for signs of exhaustion or change of uptrend, if any.
From our our perpesctive, we need to see that our trendline is respected (represented by the blue line. Also, prices should find support at 2 identified levels in 2020. These are $ 316.18 and $309.47
A close below these levels may warrant us to relook at the charts, else all should be well
We will relook at charts regularly to see how this pays off

MA in unchartered territoryMA has moved strongly as visible in the charts, creating some turbulence with downward pressure in the recent past but inching forward towards the 300$ mark.
I thin there is more steam in the stock and we have strong supports in place, at least 3 levels as identified on the charts.
I would have a target of 315-320 on the upside, but will buy at various supports identified on chart and reduce my holding costs
Chart is self explanatory, happy to address any queries

MasterCard (MA) Establishes a New All-Time HighHello traders!
Welcome to PrimeXBT’s technical analysis of MasterCard’s stock, the multinational financial services corporation that has been demanding investor’s attention.
Fundamental Analysis / News:
Recently, MasterCard (NYSE:MA) climbed +0.87% after-hours after increasing its quarterly dividend to $0.40/share from $0.33/share and authorizing the repurchase of as much as $8B of Class A common stock.
MA says the new buyback plan will take effect at the conclusion of the current $6.5B repurchase program, which has ~$300M remaining under its authorization.
Technical Analysis:
At the end of last week, MA's stock price broke through the previous historical all-time high level.
If the price breaks this psychological resistance level, a continuation of the uptrend will be confirmed and we’ll have to search for new buying opportunities based on the same level.
Overall, it is expected that in the short-term the market price will gradually drop to its current support zones before building enough momentum to set another record high.
Support zone #1: $292.30-293.60
Support zone #2: $280.30-282.20.
Psychological resistance level: $300
Market Cap: $299.469B

IS THAT BITCOIN OR MASTERCARD???Looking at the chart of Master Card you will find two amazing insights!
First: The chart a few years ago looked pretty much the same as Bitcoin is now. If you compare the fibonacci retracements and the development to those of Bitcoin , Bitcoin should be around 200.000$ by the end of 2023.
Second: Master Card has finished that second heavy cycle and is looking as if it would collaps very soon, compared to the Bitcoin chart in December 2017.
Are you sell Mastercard ?Hello, Traders!
Monfex is at your service and today we overview Mastercard .
The company has recently processed 28.2 billion transactions, which in dollar terms is about $ 1.7 trillion . And this is 22% more than a year earlier.
MasterCard says the number of transactions has grown thanks to the new click-to-pay payment technology. It allows you to make a purchase on the Internet in a couple of clicks.
Cyber-Monday (December 3) and Black-Friday are coming soon.
The predicted percentage of online sales is about 20%.
And the Mastercard does not belong to a small piece of this pie.
The price is very similar to moving in July-December 2018. There is also bearish divergence on RSI.
A good sign for continuation of growth will be a breakdown of a key resistance level.
If the price nevertheless will bounces down from the local zone of resistance, then MA200 can be taken as the target.
The resistance zone ~ $284
The local resistance zone ~ $280

MA and V patiently waiting for confirmationCurrently waiting for the blue line to close above orange. With the cross awaiting to happen on the MACD. Once MACD crosses with the cross of blue over orange. It will be a very strong buy till the heikin Ashi candle closes red with volume that's when ill sell rinse and repeat. If you did so from January you would of made a nice 45%+ gain this year ALONE. WOW!
aapl card partnership outpreforms spy?The aapl card is a partnership between aapl to encourage people to use iOS 13's new wallet app and get a credit card backed by goldman with mastercard as the payment handler.
iOS 13 goes live on 9/16/19
If you want the aapl card my advice to you is opt out of arbitration: www.cnbc.com
MA is looking into blockchain solutions and is actually preforming better vs visa the larger market cap competitor by some metrics.
GS preformed well vs other banks in 08
GS also refused trump loans www.wsj.com
'At Goldman Sachs Group Inc., bankers “know better than to pitch” a Trump-related deal, said a former Goldman executive. Goldman officials say there is little overlap between its core investment-banking group and Mr. Trump’s businesses.'
AAPL is what I use every day, it's nice and the 11 pro max just announced
there are obvious trade war risks right now but I expect spy out performance
manage your own risk

$V #Visa breaking long into new all-time highsWatching Visa complete a Cup & Handle formation as it prepares to break out into fresh highs for the stock. Breaking into new highs provides little resistance for price to run, other than fib extensions and pivots. The C&H pattern provides a measured move of $30 to a potential target of $180.
MA: Expanding triangle formation with MACD divergenceWith every slowing economy comes the surge in credit cards charge-offs and MA is one of the most richly valued companies which I have looked at. Price action has been knocking around a bearish expanding triangle and held in check by the 240M 200-periods moving average with a negative MACD divergence. Not sure if I am early to the punch but downside potential is around the $1600 region which implies -c.17% downside.
