Looks rainy, where you headin'?

Going to meet someone that has about 2,500 little puzzles they need to solve.  We will have a chat about whether I can solve them in a way that is economic for them and profitable for me.

Where you going ?

I love your TA updates but perhaps we should not focus too much on the short term. The directionless low volume periods are well known to Bitcoin old timers and can last very long. Ideally, I see this heading towards a sloping down spike or mega dump, constituting the formal capitulation. But cold reasoning tells me that sentiment is too strong for this (2013 double pump similarity).

Glad you raised this because we need to have a chat about the longer term.  There are some fairly serious factors starting to come into play now. I do not believe we will have long directionless period, at least not in the next 3 months.  Will post when I can get to a computer.

You guys are completely nuts 
What is this hat thing...
I don't feel part of the crew anymore, can't be in here too often.
I guess V8 has a reason not to have an avatar-hat.
And why is RF still here? He said he was gone for good 


On a different note, I have been accumulating as much as I could lately. I'm waiting for the big jump and this time I will be ready.
Enjoy your day

Going to get some sun and enjoy crystal clear water. And prolly eat some mushrooms in between. A beach holiday for 2 weeks in tropics need it badly, lack of motivation.

Is there any Technical Analyses that claims this side-moving stability can last until 2019? Looks impossible to me.

[Wekkel]

Not specifically TA but there are plenty of thoughts around that the dull period could last far into 2018. Not at $6,500 exactly but within a rather small bandwidth. Cherish such a period if you still want to add to your position.

Ok here we go.  Let's talk long term.   All $ are Bitstamp.  

1.  We appear to be in the process of breaking out from under the bear triangle.  By simply tracking sideways, we can escape the crushing weight of the past 8 months.  Going sideways is very bullish.

2.  October is historically a bullish month for Bitcoin (excluding 2014).  

3.  We appear to be diverging from the 2014 fractal.  October 2014 was bad for the price but we are mildly rallying.   This is a bullish signal. 

4.  There is some great news coming out at the moment.  

5.  Shorting is really hard work.  It feels like there is deep pocket support just below where we sit.  Shorts are slowly starting to fall as traders shift their stance.  

but

The support line from the crypto winter (show here as the lower red line) is rising from the deep.  It is still at a fair depth and not yet in play.  But it is big and fast and mean.   And it will hit us like a freight train.

The Russian seer (Penthuldar??) says that this support line will lift us us into the new price range.  But he is wrong, because he does not study his history.  We broke through the historic exponential price floor during the 2014 cryptowinter, and it was this break that caused the final capitulation to $154.  We also broke the previous exponential price floor in November 2012, which led us to the final capitulation and crash to $2.22.  It is almost certain that we will break through the cryptowinter support line and then crash in price.  This crash is likely to be our final capitulation, so we can start the long climb out.   The really critical question is, what will our altitude be when we hit the wall?  If we have a high enough altitude (green line), then we can still fall after we break through and bounce off support at $5,800.    If we bounce off $5,800 after breaking the cryptowinter support line and manage to consolidate above it, then we will have seen the bottom because the halvening will start to come into play as we move deeper into 2019.  

On the other hand, if we are too low (yellow line), then the shock of breaking the cryptowinter support line will cause us to break downwards through the $5,800 support and potentially get caught underneath it, like a fox that breaks through a frozen lake and drowns under the ice.  

I am turning bullish right now, because it looks like we are slowly gaining altitude so we can follow the trajectory of the green line, and not the yellow line.

Its extremely unusual and especially for BTC or any crypto so far as I know to switch volatility like this.   All I can think is the pull in trade between bulls and bears could have moved out of sight into various dated contracts in Chicago and maybe it makes more sense to someone able to track volume in both areas.


My take short term is we have a rough respect of volume and a ceiling of the last spike but i expect it to make 6650 and react with that longer term line of resistance before doing anything else.   I dont know why bitfinex is a different price, theres a series of higher lows for a few days leading upto now anyhow

Accumulate, HODL, and think outside the blox!

... I originally clicked on  the article because I thought from the title it was a bearish article. Yup, classic clickbait. A good synopsis of the growing adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and why I have a long-term bullish outlook, even though for the moment, bull and bear got each other by the throats.
