Cryptogame - Margin Battle

Another chart. I have too many other charts to put here, which I will add in description later. There is a lot going on behind the scene. Bitmex 100x leveraged trading has had a clear impact on the cryptomarket. Other leveraged trading options at Bitfinex for alts are playing a major role and have resulted in wicks which are not ignorable. Currently the alts have too many long positions compared to shorts, where as BTC and only 2-3 others alts have more shorts than longs. Of course there are always other aspects to look at and clearly have an impact on the inter- and intraday prices.

Spot the pattern

Yorum:

We have a breakdown on the rising wedge now....

Important dates:
CME BTC Futures expiry - 6th September 2018
SEC's decision deadline on Bitwise BTC ETF application - 7th September 2018.
SEC's decision deadline on CBOE/SolidX BTC ETF application - end of September 2018.

Yorum:

BTC may follow the yellow brick road....

Yorum:

As long as BTC is within this channel, the expected direction is downwards....

Even if it goes up, the purple line (61.8% fib level) is the maximum upside move that I expect at this stage... unless SEC approves the ETF... in which case we will all have fun chasing the cryptomarket....
