I believe that it is possible to beat the market through a consistent and unemotional approach. This is primarily achieved through preparing instead of reacting.

Please be advised that I swing trade and will often hold onto a position for > 1 month. What you do with your $ is your business, what I do with my $ is my business.
My most recent Bitcoin Bubble Comparison led to the following predictions: 1 day - 28 days = < $5,750 | bottom prediction: $2,860 by 10/30

Candlestick analysis: Currently forming a doji/shooting star
Ichimoku Cloud: 4h cloud has acted as strong resistance and currently waits just above the price. As we move forward the resistance from the cloud is gradually moving down.

Chaikin Money Flow: Bear div on daily.
RSI (30 setting): W: 48.81 | D: 46
Stoch: %D diverging from %K after making bullish re cross.
Summary: That market continues to consolidate and the trading range continues to tighten. This is when it is very easy to get lulled to sleep by the lack of volatility, when in fact it is the most important time to stay alert.
The biggest moves happen after prolonged consolidation and if you aren’t prepared then the market will leave you behind. Now is the time to watch the charts like a hawk and patiently wait for an entry, if you are not already positioned.
Keep an eye on the daily candle. If it closes below $6,392 then it would create a shooting star and that could be a good time to enter. $210 has been holding as resistance for ETH and selling that area has worked out well over the last couple days. However, it has recently broken through it’s 7 week down trend and that is a reason to proceed with extreme caution. If it finds support above $207 on this current pullback then it will likely take out $210 and be on it’s way for a $225 retest.
Shorting EOS still looks like a great option to me. I have an order set to short at 0.0007474. Click here to read that analysis.
I am going out of town tomorrow from a camping and golfing trip and it is not very likely that I will be able to post another daily update until Sunday the 23rd.
Thanks for reading!
