Cryptocurrency Markets today
Cryptocurrency markets have exploded in popularity this year.
As of the first of January 2017, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization was $17.6B. As of the second of September, this figure was hovering at $170B before sharply correcting back to $98B as of 15-September-2017.
This is more than a 10x increase for the entire market, followed by a forty percent (40%) correction for the market as a whole before rebounding twenty-four percent (24%) to its current market cap of $124B (as of 17-Sep-2017).
The term “volatility” doesn't quite do it justice.
Although the recent increase in the market cap of cryptocurrency as a whole has been substantial, the size of the entire industry is still small compared to the forex and equitiy markets. In fact, the size of the entire cryptocurrency market cap is still less than the $180B market cap of Phillip Morris (PM), a single company in a strictly regulated industry (tobacco)... That should put things in perspective.
In conjunction with the increase in market capitalization, there has been a large increase in in daily crypto trading volume, which has exploded from $130M to upwards of $9B, a 69x increase. Yes, this increase absolutely seems bubbly, nay, frothy. However, we believe that that this growth will not only continue, but will continue to do so at an exponential rate. Cryptocurrencies are here and they are volatile.
Most people tend to overlook the technology that is powering cryptocurrency: blockchain. Perhaps the single greatest argument for the longevity, and eventual dominance of cryptocurrency, is the peer-to-peer decentralized network that is the true legacy of Bitcoin. The non-currency, real world potential of blockchain appears poised to fundamentally change the internet, healthcare, legal practices, in ways that may even overshadow the way it is already changing finance. Exciting times indeed!
The Issue with Cryptos
Overall, we’re quite bullish on Cryptos in general and their adoption by society. However, these markets are young, volatile, borderless, and available 24/7 - and are rife with inefficiencies. The good news is that the Crypto markets are still in their infancy and we are only now beginning to see an influx of institutional interest. This means that there are significant returns to be had for the opportunistic trader - especially when compared with other more traditional markets.
As one might expect, the potential for significant returns has created a surge of new interest and new market participants. Liquidity and market participants are, on balance, a great thing; but when demand outpaces supply and information isn’t always reliable (or even available), all markets become inefficient, and traders become desperate for ways to maximize their earnings. Such conditions can quickly lead to frustration, which in turn, can foster failure and/or burnout.
There are thousands of alt-coin price movements across multiple exchanges, which is just the initial torrent of data users must ingest to effectively trade Cryptocurrency. The most experienced traders rely on a host of services to help them derive insights from the slew of market indicators popping up constantly.
We have recognized the need to develop an intelligent tool to help monitor all the data that is available in the cryptocurrency markets, and thus have created Intelligent Trading Technologies (ITT) to do all the heavy lifting and truly add value to the crypto trader’s arsenal.
The goal of Intelligent Trading Technologies is to empower traders with consolidated cryptocurrency market predictors served by our fleet of AI-powered data bots orchestrated to produce intelligent insights from a vast world of real-time data. We want to empower every novice trader with consolidated insights on when to buy, sell, or hold their diverse portfolio of coins. Intelligent insight requires using deep learning and statistical analysis to communicate a “why” behind each market predictor.
ITT employs state-of-the-art data science tools and neural networks to provide actionable real-time trading signals for success in the cryptocurrency markets. These disruptive technologies are constantly and consistently changing our lives. It’s time to leverage these technologies into Cryptocurrencies.
ITT trading bots can be customized to cater to individual users’ preferences for time of day, trading volumes, risk level, and preferred trading frequency, just to name a few. ITT assists all traders, beginners to experts, by monitoring all the relevant information, 24/7, on their behalf. ITT takes that information and creates actionable trading alerts on which users can easily informed, and critically, accurate, decisions .
Our intelligent bot (Tier 2, scheduled to be released 4Q17) will be capable of self-programming and reprogramming to match changes in the market, adjusting indicator weights, and continuous optimization as an agent motivated solely on maximizing users’ hourly return rates.
