Bitcoin – 25 March

A week ago I spoke about holding off my March BTC buy a little longer. So far this looks like a bad decision on my part (and is why one should always DYOR and never follow someone’s suggestions blindly – even when that someone is me!). I suggested this BTC price movement (seen below) – which has not happened. The false peak of late February caught me out and threw my analysis.

Fortunately I knew that I may be making a mistake at the time (so I wasn’t completely wrong) – and planned a contingency analysis scenario. In that same post I also published this

BTC 200 MA – revisited

Some time ago (Just before Christmas 2018) I wrote a three part series titled: “To CAPITULATE or NOT to CAPITULATE? That is the question”. Part 2 of that series “The Answer” was dedicated entirely to an argument against (further) capitulation and was based on only one thing: the 200 MA. 

I suggest reading The Answer before reading this post, because it lays the groundwork for this post and provides a few insights which I will not be repeating. You can find it here: https://mentormarket.io/bitbrain/to-capitulate-or-not-to-capitulate-that-is-the-question-part-2-the-answer/

Platinum: Crossing the Bar?

Sunset and evening star,And one clear call for me!And may there be no moaning of the bar,When I put out to sea, Crossing the Bar ~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Tennyson was speaking about death in this famous poem. Today I’m going to take a more positive spin on “Crossing the Bar”; this post is about life – Platinum coming back to life!

Almost a month ago I published a post titled “Time to buy Platinum?”, in which I made it fairly clear that I believed it was indeed time to buy. In fact: so good was my post, that it convinced me to

ENJ – still going strong

Enjincoin (ENJ) has made remarkable upwards leaps and bounds over the last month, putting even well performing coins such as BNB to shame. So what’s the clever play now? Sell it? Buy it? Hold it?

I’m holding mine. Here is why:

They say lightning doesn’t strike twice. They’re wrong. 

Within a time period of a mere two weeks, ENJ more than doubled in value, not once, but twice!

Three weeks ago (just after the first big climb) I made a comment on someone else’s ENJ post. I was then asked:

“Haven’t you sold ENJ at this price?”

To which my answer was:

Litecoin: where should you sell?

It’s been a good quarter for LTC: ever since mid December 2018 LTC has been gaining on BTC. But since we know that what goes up must come down; where/when should we sell our LTC?

The current LTC climb is a strong one. I say this because LTC is typified by short, sharp price climbs and long, slow price falls thereafter. The current climb is slow and steady, which leads me to believe that it may be a particularly strong one. (See the CMC chart below):

Because this climb is looking particularly strong, it is my suggestion that you sell LTC

BTC: Not putting my money where my mouth is

I was faced with a very difficult decision this past weekend: Buy BTC or don’t buy BTC.

Last month I described a crypto buying process ( “Buy crypto now! – Like this:” ), a process which I believe best suits the current market conditions. Because it is an optimal buying-in strategy, I have been trying hard to stick to it. However, some unfortunate local circumstances have created a sudden urgency in my need to acquire more BTC. Due to my particular financial situation, these circumstances will not apply to you, but what I have learnt from this situation may well assist

Investing in Crypto is too close to gambling, so let’s gamble!

A long, long time ago (8 months – which is like 8 years in crypto terms) I wrote this post on Steemit: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/investing-in-crypto-is-too-close-to-gambling

In it I complained that outsiders see crypto investing as gambling, but then went on to say that:

“Since we’re being accused of it, we might as well be guilty of it!”

I think that it’s time to be guilty of it again…

Let’s Gamble!

BTC Short-term 13 March

A small short-term BTC price movement forecast – compliments of yours truly

From big to small:

The large converging triangle is still in play – this apex of this triangle lies in mid-July (solid white lines).BTC is still moving downwards after it’s last trip up above $4000. I expect a bounce around $3600 (solid yellow lines).Interim BTC movements are in a North-Easterly direction and are accordance with diagonal Fib levels.
