There’s a famous quote… “The lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math.” It seems the Trump administration is a tax for a country that stopped caring about government.

DASH Dash has had a great couple days, but is no within sight of a 3rd arc pair at ~$150. Likely will correct soon. Ethereum Classic ETC has also had a great few days. A 5th arc pair is nearby at ~ $14. It may be late to chase this one also. Ethereum ETH, like the preceding coins, has had a great few days, but is now within...

No words can describe the sadness. When a man decides to take his own life in order to kill children at a pop concert, the entire world mourns. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families.

As you may have guessed, I receive emails every day from traders of all different stripes and persuasions. I answer when I can, but often just short replies as time is a valuable commodity. But there is a recurrent question that comes up, and the question is usually raised by traders I can sense are inexperienced. They ask me when...

Australian-born Michael Dunworth, CEO of Silicon Valley-based blockchain Wyre, has said that financial advisors should invest in Bitcoin to understand the currency better in the decentralized economy. In a report from the Financial Standard, Dunworth said: “You don’t have to break the bank. You could invest $10, $100 or...

The old saying in the market “buy the rumor, sell the news” only sometimes applies to cryptocurrencies.

Ripple Ripple gave a false break (highlighted) when it closed above the arc. It was a buy signal which I tweeted, but then price fell back to the arc again. It happens. There is a 1×1 from the swing low which should support price at .32 (assuming the bull market is still intact). Below there is a good place for a stop, IMHO....

It was an exciting week for crypto traders. It seems like there are an ever-increasing number of traders joining the party doesn’t it? Given that just a year ago there was just a handful of traders compared to now, and we still have not even scratched the surface of the number of traders out there still trading Forex exclusively, the...

Bitcoin Bitcoin has been rallying for what seems like forever, but there is a fairly significant set of resistances in the chart that will likely be reached today or tomorrow. A long-term 5th arc (black) and shorter-term arcs (the green 2nd arc will likely yield, but the next two will likely have a lot of stopping power, especially the...

It looks like the Japanese have finally upped their volumes. According to coinhills.com, bitflyer – the company who will be responsible for bringing bitcoin to 260,000 stores in Japan – is now trading over 100,000 bitcoins a day and responsible for 10% of the total volume in the market.

Bitcoin Bitcoin continues it’s epic run toward $2100. I note that there is an energy point on the daily chart tomorrow, and that a 5th arc is in plain sight at $2100. Traders might want to take some profits there. DASH In our last update we identified the top of the square (highlighted) as likely support, and indeed it was. Target of...

The total damage from the WannaCry virus has been counted. See, the thing most people don’t know about Bitcoin is that it’s only pseudo-anonymous. The nature of the blockchain allows everyone to see all transactions clearly, that’s what makes it effective.

Litecoin Litecoin has successfully closed above the arc that had been dragging it down. I believe the low is in and a rally will ensue to at least $40. Stellar Lumens Stellar Lumens had had a huge advance, stopped not once but twice by the top of this setup. We are now below the 5th arc again, and just below (at?) the 2×1 angle...

I trade on Kraken, and I have noticed that the order book is increasingly controlled, it seems, by the trading bots. I imagine that is the case on most exchanges. There are a myriad of very small orders relatively close to the strike price, but the first significant order (to buy or sell) is usually a fair distance away. Then, after...

Litecoin I will go out on a limb here and say it’s time to buy ltc. There is a little bit of room to the Fibonacci vortex support, but not much. Firm support ~ $23. Lets look at the Gann setup: Here the picture is the same. There was a spike low exactly at the end of the square, but recovered quickly to above the 5th square. I...
