Oh snap! It's been a while I gave you guys a call. How long? Barely 24 hours. Stop cribbing for not giving you a call every their hour. Why? Because giving calls that aren't accurate are gonna make y'all mad at me for making you lose money. I would rather not trade for 10 hours straight than have a loss of 10% of my portfolio.

And there it is. Ranked number 1 on the Hall of fame. I hope to have the Same run in the Championship round to be crowned as the best trader by BCW

BTCUSDLONGS on BITFINEX is entering the zone that is usually very risky to the bulls, every time the Long is getting to this specific level, the bulls is usually gets liqudated by the bear as well. so be ready with a probability to dump on BTC in the future.

Same here with BTCUSDSHORT on BITFINEX, it looks like the bear is gaining some strength to liquidated the bulls, as the positions for the daily chart is touching current support trend line. The bear pressure is getting higher right now because a good reaction from the daily candle that shows a bounce right after touch 22 thousands positions (current resistance trendline)

#BTCUSD update on BITFINEX market :

- In my zoomed out view, I see a tremendous down trend channel with several rejection to the upside line of the channel. some traders will assume a bear flag is forming with the pole on february 8th candle. but for me, I still have a serious concern with the volume on bitcoin which is getting lower and lower everytime and it is clearly not a good sign for bitcoin.

#BTCUSD on 4hour chart :
For some traders, it looks like that it formed a bullish flag, but just like what I've said before, the most crucial point that has to be concerned is not ONLY the pattern of the chart but also the volume that has been formed lately, the decreasing in volume is clearly not a good indication for any of investment instrument in the world.

Beside it, I've seen 3 time of rejection toward the resistance trend line in the last one week! so, just like my previous analysis I am leaning bearish on current crypto market industry right now (at least I am pretty sure in the short term). At least BTC can touch the 3550 region in very short time (golden pocket region). believe me, there will be a huge sell of once the candle break this weekly pivot point around 3650 region.

Absolutely Mashed Baby!

JPMorgan is releasing its own coin. Oh wow that's awesome.
No that isn't a cryptocurrency. That's because it's permission based. Which means only people passing the JPM KYC can use it. It also has intrinsic value. To cut it short, it's something like e-cash.

What's my take on this?
Firstly way I interpreted this is adoption. One of the biggest burr that stuck on to its claim of Cryptocurrency being shit changed his opinion. This means we will soon start getting more of such examples. Crypto is the future and we are early to this gold rush.

Time to tell you something you would have never realised. The Bitcoin network is dying. Yeah bit by bit. We already saw all mining farms shut down. Now the transactions are delayed by a huge interval. Have a look at this one.
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/unconfirmed-transactions
Over 3,600 unconfirmed transaction. This is making it slower and over time killing it.
I know this is hard to believe and understand but we need to fix this soon

Holy crap and its piling up higher. Over 5,500 unconfirmed transactions. We really need to find a way to fix this. The total fees for all these is over 608 bitcoins. How much is that worth? $2.2 million. Are we really in it for this? Let me know your thoughts @cryptopotatoes

MANA/BTC dips below 1000 satoshi.
A big ass (Kim K type) falling wedge that could potentially drive up the price of $MANA by over 140%. Currently trading just above the 1000 satoshi mark, we can grab any point in this range towards the support. Over head resistance is at 1805 satoshi. A big green candle might just do it.

Why hasn't potato given any calls today? Here is what scares me. I might lose my cash but I would hate to know you guys lost yours. Sometimes it's best to sit back and relax

It was expected that the nearness of the trend line in the pipeline would have been reduced considerably, and that the peak would be overturned for the formation of divergence, but the upward force was weak and Vimek could not follow the rate of increase as much as the bandwagon. I could not do it

If there is a further rise, it will be difficult to catch up the pattern line by breaking the trend line in the pipeline, so the situation is unclear at present
If you are trading securely, you will receive 50% or more of the long quantity that you have entered in the vicinity.

Got this one a couple of hours ago and it's evident we are building strong support levels at the $118 and $121 levels. If we were to fall, these would be key levels to watch out for. Another perspective is that $ETH broke out of a long term downward trend like indicating a bullish momentum. This might just be the Altcoin rally. Feels great right. Pick any low satoshi coin and sleep. Wake up with a minimum 10%.

Keep one thing in mind. Take your profits and increase the $BTC stack. Spare some in fiat too. We need to grab some more when we dip.

What just happened?

Well, big investors, such as insurers and pension funds, should invest part of their assets in cryptocurrency as bitcoin. "Despite the disadvantages, and with a view to the long term," says the American investment advisor Cambridge Associates.

Big investors have to "start exploring" the field of cryptocurrencies, the consultancy points out in a report from which the Bloomberg press agency cites. "Take a lot of time to learn." But putting money in bitcoin and other virtual currencies is recommended: "The risk of these investments is high, but they can turn the digital world upside down."

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are of course notorious for their high peaks and deep valleys. That is also the reason that so far no Dutch pension fund or other large investor wants to venture for the time being. Supervisors AFM and De Nederlandsche Bank also do not want to see it happening, but they can not forbid it. Dutch bank ABN Amro has previously started research into its own bitcoin wallet, so called "the wallet". The bank tests it currently under five hundred customers.

The bitcoin ended the last six months with loss, but February may become the exception. The currency rose from 8 February. That a commissioner of the American stock market watchdog SEC was positive about trading in the virtual currency helped, pushing Bitcoin over $3800 today. So far, the American stock market watchdog has been very cautious about an ETF, which allows investors to trade on the stock exchange in Bitcoin.

Bhahahawell the hammer did knock this one down. Oh god this looks beautiful. A great trough and a nice retracement. Exactly in line with the chart I setup. Great day for all those who picked a short with yesterday's chart. Pretty evident. Wee needed a cool down. Now it's wallstreet's turn to have a green day.

3,000 $BTC (11,753,091 USD) transferred from Unknown wallet to Bitfinex.
I got this one exactly 3 hours ago. The whales did move to an exchange to sell. All you need is some good plugs (insiders) or a nice boy that can help you catch moves. And the rest is basic logic.
