Arctic15 Is around the Corner, Presents an Ideal Opportunity for Bitcoin StartupsArctic15, the Startup and Entrepreneurship conference of the year is just a week away. The two-day conference aims to promote entrepreneurship by providing a platform for all the stakeholders in the global startup ecosystem to meet in one place. Bitcoin and its underlying technology has been around for a bit more than 7 years. However, the digital currency did not become popular until late 2012. Once people started getting to know about Bitcoin, within months’ businesses built around this technology started cropping up. These prolific businesses were not part of big tech conglomerates or banking and financial giants, but startups... read more

PayPal Killing Apps on Mobile Platforms Is A Bitcoin OpportunityPopular online payment method PayPal is removing their mobile app from various operating systems. Windows Phone, Amazon, and BlackBerry will no longer be supported as of June 30, 2016. It is not a complete surprise to see PayPal pull their apps from various platforms, albeit it is a brash decision. Windows Phone and BlackBerry have never been a big mobile market for PayPal, though. However, abandoning Amazon’s Fire OS – a fork of Android – is quite a surprise, considering the popularity of the Kindle Fire tablets... read more

Bitcoin Price Watch; Switching up the time framesWe are going to start off this morning’s analysis with a daily chart. It’s little more expansive a time frame than we normally focus on, but it offers us some insight, so it’s worth looking at quickly. As the chart below shows, action in the bitcoin price has, over the last few weeks, formed something of a triangle at the end of an upside run. We are going to use this triangle to help form our bias today – specifically, a break of the triangle’s outer perimeters (in either direction) will dictate our medium to long-term bias in the bitcoin price... read more

Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis for 05/26/2016 – Short-Term SelloffThe 100 SMA is starting to cross above the longer-term 200 SMA, which suggests potentially stronger buying pressure. If so, bitcoin price could land back above the rising trend line and carry on with its climb. Stochastic, however, is on the move down and indicating that sellers are taking control. In that case, bitcoin price could have room to head south until the next area of interest around $450. This is also near the moving averages, which might hold as dynamic support levels... read more

Bitcoin Price Watch; More Upside to Come?It’s been a good few weeks since we have had some long-term sustained upside momentum in the bitcoin price. Action this month so far seems to have been relatively choppy, and our breakout strategy – whilst somewhat effective – has given us a bit of a hard time. A few stop loss hits here and there have affected our end of week bottom line, and we have had to resort to both our intrarange approach and a scalp strategy when action has been flat. This week, however, we have seen just the type of action we like when it comes to the smooth application of our breakout approach in the bitcoin price markets... read more

Bitcoin Price Watch; Let’s Get Some Action!In yesterday’s analysis, we commented on the relatively slow week we had seen in the bitcoin price last week, and noted that – in response to the little bit of volatility we saw over the weekend – we expected some decent momentum to come our way during Monday’s session. As things turned out, we did see some momentum; not quite as dramatic as we’d hoped for, but momentum nonetheless, and we managed to get in and out of the markets for a quick profit on the European session action... read more

Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis for 05/24/2016 – Retracement Opportunity!The 100 SMA is above the 200 SMA for now but the moving averages have inched close together, indicating that a downward crossover is looming. This could be interpreted as a signal for more sellers to short bitcoin, taking it back down to the recent lows around $437. In addition, the moving averages could hold as dynamic inflection points, possibly holding as resistance up to the $450.50 mark. A descending trend line can be drawn to connect the latest highs of price action since May 5, with the falling resistance level coinciding with the area of interest... read more
