These are the things you need to have an eye for. The long term game changer is adoption.

Timing is everything in crypto trading.
Couple of you did take the effort in pinging me and asking how I was so prompt to this news that we ended up buying well before the FOMO started. That's the key, getting in early or getting out early can save your from the anal. Terribly painful red.

Today I'll tell you something that need to stick well in your head. Twitter is good, but Reddit is the best.
I know Reddit is the Facebook for grandpas and grandmas, but the right ones do a great help. I don't spend 10 hours a day reading the news to catch such moves. No human in the pinkish of his health would do. I have come across this amazing boy that keeps Hashed Plutus ahead of the game. I would go ahead and share this with y'all.

https://t.me/merkletrade has some of the most active reddit threads that drops in great updates.

There is a lovely double bottom (1h) formation on $WAVES

https://www.coinigy.com/s/i/5cb61d1a140c3/

I’m going to settle on Decred. It has been green all day and BTC pumping doesn’t seem to have affected its growth - printing 7 consecutive (1h) green candles.

On the larger timeframe (6h) we see a strong channel of which we are at the bottom. Looking to close and take profit near the top.

TRADE: DCR/BTC
Entry - 0.0047 – 0.00465
Profit - 0.0051 (+9.7%)
Stop loss - 0.00459 (-1.4%)

🔼 Zoom in to 1h 🔼

There she goes. 129 days and it's grown bigger than any other major altcoin. Shot up and hammering the all time high.

Filled some $KMD at this dashed green level, I'll probaly watch this one a close it if I see the pendant forming. That means we could likely enter this level again.

Sorry guys, this time there was nothing technical to call this move early.

🔼 Check this out, before the breakout 🔼

Things are looking good on the $DCR. First order filled at the bright green line.

It looked like I placed the second order a little low, as it if were a stop and not a buy. Raising that order a little. Its a buy stop so it dosen't park my BTC.

Closed here for +2.5%

Setting up the buys for the pendant breakout.
Trading this way gives us a cushion that protects our capital if things don’t go according to plan.

I have seen these pendants forming like clockwork, right after these terrific green candles rattle the market. Buyers need to know the price will hold before they take it higher.

TRADE: KMD/BTC
Entry - 0.000221
Profit - 0.000251 (+13%)
Stop loss - 0.00219 (-1%)
