yo guys i found a potentially good trade
ARN/BTC on binance has 5 hourly inside bars.
Enter, set stop to below previous low wick. 0.50% risk, lots of upside potential.
If there are no more hourly inside bars (on the live chart) by the time you read this and it has broken up or down, this call is invalid.

hey everyone. i want to say that my motivation to refer to BCH as bcash is that i want people to know right away that i am not a supporter of BCH .. if i really want to dis on bcash, then i will refer to it as btrash . i don’t always dis on bcash that hard . i still think it is a chinese scam coin . when bcash refers to itself as bitcoin, throws up websites referring to itself as bitcoin, and spreads lies about bitcoin being slow with high fees, those are all hallmarks of a scam .
what the fuck eos anyone else seeing what’s happening it wasn’t even oversold that much and it just dildo’ed back into the sky
Anyone here follow NULS? They’ve delayed for the second time and it’s still somehow not dumped back even close to previous levels
Is there any reason to not buy most of the coins currently listed on Paradex? They seem like a guarantee to be added to Coinbase in the near future (June 29? Was that the date Coinbase’s new platform goes live?)
My two main alts NANO, and IOTA, seem to be making higher lows on these last couple drops vs BTCs lower lows. Very surprised by that. Looks like a bunch of other alts did the same in the last half day. (not eth though)
Very surprised by this, not sure what to make of it.
Monero has been one of the more volatile and also profitable markets to trade, lets jump in and have a look.
I zoomed out to the 1 day candles chart to get a better idea of the possible bottom forming on the Monero market. As we can see the $160 price zone has come into play 3 times since the start of the year, it is now testing it the 3rd time.
The market is clearly in a bearish trend and most long trades should be considered higher risk in nature, with that said if $160 plays as support for a 3rd time it is very possible that we will see a reversal here.
I am keeping this opinion in my mind, but I would also like to clarify that I believe Monero will most likely follow Bitcoin, which is at the moment also quite bearish. One of the most dangerous occupations for traders is to try and pick bottoms.
The safer option would be to wait for market to consolidate above the bearish trend line before considering going long. On the shorter timeframes we can see a bit of buying momentum coming into the market, however I would advise most traders to be patient and let the market show you the way.
Lets take a quick look at Monero versus Bitcoin.
A quick look at the 1 Day candles and we are reminded that Monero IS one of the most volatile crypto’s and not for those with weak stomachs. This chart confirms the bearish momentum of the Monero market as well as the possible support zone on the shorter term.
We can see that there is serious selling price action between, 0.025 btc – 0.035 btc, this is confirmed by the indicators and the fact that we saw sellers step in more than 3 times in this area. With that said there has also been some decent buying action, but the volume is very low and I would expect lower prices before we will witness a reversal.
Support for this play can be as low as 0.018 btc, however I would keep an eye on the price action before jumping into the market.
[You can find my TA and charts here, safe trades](https://cryptosignals.trade/forums/topic/monero-xmr-technical-analysis-may-2018/#post-17679)
i saw [price analysis](https://coinfrenzy.io/bch-eos-ltc-price-analysis/) of various altcoins on[ coinfrenzy](https://coinfrenzy.io/)’s website and reasons for the recent dip that we saw in the market is well explained there. Do you guys agree?
Quick analysis on the Ethereum markets after another of healthy sell-offs for cryptos vs the US Dollar.
Ethereum experienced a brutal beating from the bears after $660 – $700 failed as near term support. The indicators are confirming the bearish trend that is painted by the red candles on the chart.
It is important to note that there was significant buying/selling volume around $550 – $650 and that could possibly signal a reversal in the market. However the bearish momentum is very strong right now and I would also advise traders to follow the trend.
I will put short term support around $500 – $550 and will keep an eye on the market action on those levels before going long on the market. Higher risk traders could be looking to trade the bounce, or go short should above mentioned support levels fail.
On the longer term it is important to note that support is around $380 and I would consider adding to long positions should we dip below above mentioned support and test the $400 zone.
Lets take a quick look at the performance of Ethereum against the Bitcoin market.
ooking at the chart vs Bitcoin we can see that the Ethereum bulls got a bit beaten and prices only found support around 0.075 btc, but there is some decent volume and we have to keep an eye on the price action to determine the next course of action.
Both indicators are confirming the bear trend on the shorter term, however the PPO indicator is showing us that there has been a change in momentum. This is the kind of setup higher risk traders might utilize when probing for bottoms in the market.
The safer option would be to follow the trend, which for me personally has now turned bearish. I will look towards consolidation above 0.08 btc for the bullish action. Safe trades.

Tempted by Monero at this price.
Any thoughts?
4 hours and not a single comment survived, mods sure have been heavy handed today.
I’ve lost 10% of the money I gave shrimpy *in btc* in 4ish day; I think that it increasing the direction of the whole market, seems fairly correct. Time to give it more
