Unfortunately as retail traders most of us lack the data feeds necessary to connect fundamentals with price action over short time frames. We obsess instead about identifying inflections and pursuing trends. In this case we have a price move from ...

Thanks for trying to chart the way. I think we have a few more cycles to go before the technical analysis can transition into more of a science. We have just passed USD8,800 and from your chart, if we breach USD9,200 we may well be able to confirm ...

I have moved to Bitstamp, the approval process was pretty involved, but it looks like it is a necessary part of having a stable platform. So far very stable and no issues with extended website maintenance.

It looks like just about everyone is selling - XRP at under USD0.60 now. Take a look at some of the new names on Bitfinex - SpankChain?! This is out of control now.

The rise of CRYPTO - Bitcoin, LTC, Ether, Dash, Monero

Jumped in too soon, the up spike has almost faded already. Well below the EMA50 on the 30 minute chart, and ditto for the higher time frames. The decline continues it seems.

My preference is for it to behave like the stock market after 2001, and as mgluso notes, a very nice bounce. It is still the best trading instrument out there - a USD600 rise in 30min! Let's ride. Those banks are not USA domestic only, so we have ...

Bitcoin technical analysis

A very good question. The current situation is reminiscent of the attached story on gold, which once it fell below the USD1,400 level in 2014 never recovered and has been in a sideways market ever since. A lot of BTC investors will be badly hurt at ...

Bitcoin technical analysis

I am still using 3 brokers to trade BTCUSD due to lot size limitations. Interestingly much of the analysis being posted is using the standard broker data which does not report weekend price action (24/5). Consider the the two charts below (24/7 vs ...

I was not sure your idea would hold when BTCUSD dipped below USD8k, but it has come back nicely. The USD8,5k range looked like the false support zone which gave way as the big money cracked open the cluster of stops below that, but the USD8.2k gap ...

I stand corrected!

Very nice call.

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

I have checked the Pepperstone and ThinkMarkets data and they both show a gap, but they halt trading over the weekend. The data on AvaTrade which is continuous does not show the gap. I have enclosed a clean candlestick chart.

Sixer, my data does not have a gap on the daily. I see you have sourced it from the GDAX - I recall that they had a number of outages during the BTCUSD push from USD7k to ~USD19.5k; it may well be a gap in their data as they synchronised with the ...

Bitcoin technical analysis

Good to see you back. I assume the position you are taking is of a shorter term nature consistent with the USDX and EURUSD short term chart action. I understand that most people here focus mainly on technical analysis, but I suspect the increase in ...

I hope that was a save for you, mine only got to 1.2462; closed my daily longs. Hoping that parabolic behaviour means we will get a decent pull back soon (as in the start of the London session). Over and out.

EURUSD

A risky trade indeed, those search and destroy bots are after your stop loss already! A nice pullback should fix things up after. This uptrend is so old, everyone thinks it is time for a reversal, but we will continue upward until the short money ...

I take it the Trump comment is tongue in cheek. The news agencies claim to despise Trump, but the market appears to love him. The weak USD he promised in his campaign has been made real by the market - as Nucky Thompson says in Boardwalk Empire, ...

EURUSD only

Thanks for the advice, no offence taken. I understand your point. The reason I am on the forum in the first place is to get the views of those further along this journey than I am. I have been using a risk management strategy lifted loosely from the ...

EURUSD

I trade the daily. I know in relative terms compared to the strategies most users on the forum are discussing it is longer term. There are obviously a lot of scalping opportunities on the shorter time frames, and many of the contributors here are ...
