Well folks, we finally had it. A down week. This is the first down week of the year. We have been up 10 weeks in a row and finally pulled back. We just gave up the past two weeks of gains in 5 days which is not surprising. the first down week was going to be a hefty push lower because everyone who road the train from December 2018 are going to be taking profits on the trend break. The ultimate question is what is going to happen now?
I have covered much of my short that I put on because
Kroger is one of the largest supermarkets in the country, but now it’s in the process of being Amazoned.
Kroger has expanded its organic and natural food selections to better compete Whole Foods Market. And to their credit are investing in online grocery orders and grocery deliveries. In May of 2018, Kroger bought a 5% stake in British online retailer Ocado in exchange for an exclusive deal for its grocery service, which led a 58% increase in digital sales for the fourth quarter. It’s all part of Kroger’s plan to compete.

In the short-term BTC is channel bound within an ascending channel. It seems likely that this state of affairs will not continue for too much longer. I say that based on the length of similar channels in the recent past. I expect a sudden rise or dip before BTC forms a new channel with the same East-North-East price movement.
The chart below looks back about three weeks and shows how this East-North-East price movement has been prevalent in all major recent channels. It also shows how long the channel bound price movements remain intact

Elliott Wave Analysis
In Elliott Wave terms, Enigma began a wave one advance in December 2017. The red wave one (blue sub-waves i-ii-iii-iv-v) finished in January 2018, and the red wave two (blue sub-waves a-b-c) correction ended in December 2018. If this wave count is correct, Enigma should be heading next towards the January 2018 peak in the red wave three.

Dollar Tree is the largest dollar chain with over 14, 000 stores. Dollar Tree has been successful to this point because of their perceived value. Essentially you pay for what you get and the items are sold in a smaller unit size. But they have done some clever things as well. They have kept the items they sell to a minimum, so they have a high inventory turns and stores do required a whole lot footprint and they sell a ton of private label items, which helps their margins.

We are definitely trying to get back to SMTs as fast as possible. It’s not at all true that we are giving up on that project. The fact of the matter is that our work on MIRA is just more important now, and it’s not possible to know exactly how long that work will take. It could be a week, it could be a month, we just don’t know and aren’t willing to pretend we do. Once we’re done with MIRA, SMTs is high up on the to-do list.
Andrarchy comment earlier today.
My initial reaction…

I cant get this damn projector remote to work Andrarchy! WE WILL DO IT LIVE, WE’LL DO IT LIIIIIIVE!
Will we ever actually see these mythical creatures called SMTs?
I say just hope for a overall market boost and that we manage to maintain inside top 40. Currently being 38th, i cant remember the last time we were this high.

Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of San Francisco blockchain startup Ripple, gave JP Morgan Chase qualified praise Wednesday for creating its own stablecoin, before dismissing the product’s likelihood of adoption by other banks and questioning its usefulness.

Blockchain Will Not Only Shrink Government But Fundamentally Improve the Services It Delivers
Welcome to Two Minute Crypto, today I’d like to delve into one of the most positive consequences of blockchain and the coming age of crypto – the efficiencies it will bring to government services. We often hear that crypto will reduce the power of the state. I myself have spoken of this in a recent
