Once a trader from a large forex trading desk explained his main trading daily routine. He started his day placing a large order to test the closest price resistance, waiting for the market to react. If the market moved in the direction of his trade, he was happy with a nice profit. On the other hand, if the resistance proved to be solid, he would have closed...
Did you buy the dip? If so, whose dip? Altcoins have rebounded strongly since last week's lows, with Bitcoin looking much weaker and uncertain about which direction to take. That is consistent with the thesis presented in our recent post. We outlined how Bitcoin could trade sideways for a while, giving the market another opportunity for another mini-Altseason....
Did you hate the market crash this week? Don't blame Elon, either China or JPMorgan. The market was overheated, and newcomers needed to learn the most important lesson of investing. Nothing comes easy, and there is no free lunch. Those who survived this sharp price drop carefully managed their risk, maybe with a stop loss in place. But the best tip to get by...
Everyone is trying to figure out what will be the peak of the current Bull Market. However, when investing, you need to be forward-looking and think ahead. While the price target for the current market cycle is still very uncertain, it may be easier to foresee what will be the price floor of the next bear market. Looking at the previous cycles, in both cases,...
Bitcoin's recent weakness is proving the opportunity to other cryptocurrencies to shine, offering investors and traders interesting volatility to exploit. The red line on the chart shows how Bitcoin's dominance is rapidly falling, meaning that new capital flows into Altcoins. Every trader has to keep these dynamics clear in mind when assessing what the most...
Fiction authors have tried to foresee how the future would have looked like for centuries. They always pushed their imagination to the edge of the impossible, and eventually, fiction turned into reality. What, likely, nobody would have ever guessed is that a "currency" named after a cute and playful dog would have been on the verge of starting a worldwide...
Those that joined the crypto space a few years ago may remember the first puzzle they faced. Where should I buy cryptocurrencies? Hacks, scams, downtimes, and poor user experience were a real pain. Those that recently started their crypto-journey don't have as much to worry about. Prominent players gained a solid reputation for offering safe and easy options....
The post-traumatic stress caused by the great Bear Market of 2018 may be still vivid in crypto investors' minds. The fear of buying the top is so intense for many traders that they see every dip around a new all-time high with great prudence. That is not a bad thing per-se. Risk management is one of the main pillars of trading. Taking profits from time to time...
If I told you that the real Altseason is not even started, the first thing that would cross your mind would definitely be, "that must be an April fool!" . This idea is quite fascinating, as already many coins on the market trade at all-time high value during this Bull Market. It's hard to imagine that most of the upside is still ahead of us. Yet, if the picture...
Kudos to you! You survived a Bull Market dip. Maybe that was your first one, and you were about to reconsider your whole crypto investments. Or maybe that wasn't your first time watching the market going deep red, and you may have also seized the opportunity to accumulate a bit more. If you didn't, don't worry. You may get a second chance soon. In the first...
It was just a matter of time before Ethereum could shine again. With Bitcoin cooling off, that was the perfect scenario for Altcoins and Ethereum to run. In January, Bitcoin has mostly traded on the downside, while Ethereum has quietly but steadily outperformed. When many DeFi-related coins double or triple in price in a matter of days, Ethereum meager 60%...
I like to imagine Satoshi Nagamoto looking at this chart every day , framed in his living room right next to Bitcoin’s whitepaper. This chart portrays his main success (excluding Bitcoin’s ‘mere’ price appreciation over the last decade). The blue line represents the Dollar index, while the orange one Bitcoin’s price. Clearly, these two assets are well...
The market has been wildly optimistic recently. Bitcoin is posting new all-time highs almost every day, with minimal price drops. If you hold cryptocurrencies, the chances are that your wallet is much more wealthy today than a couple of months ago, no matter what you own. The whole market has been on a tear, mainly thanks to the Bitcoin's parabolic price growth,...
New year’s is known to be a time to step back, assess the past 12 months past, and reconnect with your ‘big picture’. For many, the calendar year is little more than a convention… a mere habit - only really meaningful to auditors. In spite of that crypto investors, and Bitcoin cycles, seem to place heavy significance on the turn of the year. The last two bull...
“All I want for Christmas is Bitcoin.” That seems to be the mantra we’re hearing from the institutional investors, who’ve been knocking the doors off the crypto markets in the past weeks. As we pointed out in late September, the ‘Bitcoin Dominance’ - the index that represents the weight of Bitcoin as a percentage of the total market capitalization of all...
The analysis of past events doesn't provide a definite path for the future. Still, it represents useful guidance of what to expect from the coming price action and how to take advantage of the unfolding scenario. Bitcoin's price approaching new all-time highs seems to resemble closely how the price reacted, nearing the $12,000 area between August and September...
If it were that easy, there would be less fun! Buyers have been attempting to push the price above $20,000 for about ten days now. Despite the clear wealth of supply of coins at these levels, this will be a very interesting test of the bull's resilience. Since March, the buy-side has proven to be more patient and stubborn, almost always in control of the price...
"Bitcoin's price crashes!" You may have read it already from some media outlet, but you can't well recognize it from the chart above. There is a reason. Putting into context today's price action with the parabolic price rise over the last year, it looks like a mere blink. The vertical direction of the price was not sustainable. And when the market loses steam...
