Ranging FTT Offers Multiple Opportunities for ProfitThe FTX platform is a major futures platform in the Crypto market, and FTT is the platform's token. The exchange offers many possibilities for futures crypto trading and has created numerous triple leveraged tokens. The company even created futures for the US elections and spot tokens such as TRUMPWINS and TRUMPLOSES. FTT Fundamentals The FTT token has some major fundamental advantages. The FTT platform rewards its clients for holding FTT tokens by giving discounts on trading fees and even making large holders of FTT VIP users (which provide lower fees, account manager, flexible API limits, provide input to FTX products, among other perks). These rewards increase demand over time as the platform gains popularity. Additionally, the company also reduces the supply of FTT tokens by repurchasing and burning the tokens. FTX burns an amount equal to 33% of the fees generated on FTX markets, 10% of net additions from the insurance fund, and 5% of the fees earned from other uses of the FTX platform. When demand increases and supply decreases, the token is bound to gain value. This propelled FTT to grow a whopping 240% since its inception. FTT on the Chart The FTT token usually grows in short bursts followed by prolonged periods of ranging. Although you could profit by just holding the token for a long time, the ranging periods also offer many opportunities for quick profits. The spread between the higher end of the support level and the lower end of the resistance level is 6.5%. Therefore, even if you take a position just above the support and sell just below resistance, you will still profit 6%. If you take more risk and enter the trade at the lower level of support and exit at a higher level of resistance, the profit margin rises to around 12%-15%. The great aspect of this token is that it is usually quick to establish ranging levels after a strong push. This aspect makes it easier to identify a suitable entry and exit.

Tezos is at Support Offering 30% ProfitTezos (XTZ) just hit its all-time high at $4.48 last week. It now stands at support, which was the high during its last bull run in February this year. Let’s take a look at Tezos and its likely forecast. What is Tezos and How Does it Work? Tezos is a platform designed to provide code correctness and safety for both its assets and use cases. The platform’s smart contract language facilitates formal verification, which is a methodology commonly used in mission-critical environments such as the electric power systems, aerospace, and nuclear industries. Tezos's architecture and upgrade mechanism allow the network to propose and adopt new technological innovations as they emerge. This capability enables the protocol to remain up to date regarding innovations without sacrificing community consensus. All stakeholders may participate in network upgrades by evaluating, proposing, or approving changes. Additionally, stakeholders can help to secure the network (via delegating or baking) and avoid being diluted by inflation. Tezos is thus a multi-purpose platform that supports decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. It is similar to Ethereum in nature, and similar to Ethereum, it has an unlimited supply. Tezos (XTZ) on the Chart Last week, XTZ hit its all-time high at $4.48 and currently stands at support. The price may fall further at the support of $3.33-3.15, as displayed by the green rectangle on the chart. If a position is opened just before that support level and closed just below the resistance at $4.3, then it offers an opportunity of around 30% profit. It is impossible to predict all price movements of a coin or any asset in general. Therefore, professional traders always recommend having a stop loss in place at a level where you feel comfortable.

BNB Still UndervaluedBinance coin (BNB) is the native currency of one of the world’s biggest crypto exchanges: Binance. BNB is one of the most capitalized coins on the market and it has a fixed total supply of 176.406.561 BNB. Short History Lesson BNB is one of the best performing coins over time, as it outperformed Bitcoin by about 4,800% since its inception in July 2017. Most altcoins hit their all-time highs in January 2018 which was the biggest altcoin season up to date. However, this was not the case for BNB, which continued growing by 85%, hitting highs of 43$ in June 2019. The Current Situation BNB is now situated at the minor $23 resistance and has 15% to cover before reaching its previous 2020 high at just over $27. Apart from the DeFi related coins, very few coins surpassed their January 2020 highs this year. However, BNB is a coin that has regularly outperformed BTC and is therefore likely to do so again. Looking ahead: The next resistance level at $27 is also the BNB’s high during the biggest altcoin bull run in January 2018, and it is, therefore, a very significant level. If this resistance is broken, BNB may become very bullish following the breakthrough. Even if BNB doesn’t break this level, it should at least reach it in the next few weeks if it is to continue its tradition of outperforming Bitcoin.

Crypto Trading 101: The Elder RayHi Hoppers! Today we dissect the Elder Ray and learn how to take long positions along with the Parabolic SAR. Without further due, let’s get into the Elder Ray! Elder Ray The Elder Ray is an oscillator with components of trend and momentum indicators to measure the strength of bullish and bearish trends. It uses exponential moving averages to generate signals and pinpoint the dominant power of the market. This indicator labels both trends as “bull power” and “bear power”. When the green sticks are longer than the red ones, the trendline becomes green to indicate that the bullish power is stronger than the bearish power. At this event, the Elder Ray signals a buy. When the red sticks are longer than the green ones, the Elder Ray signals a sell. One drawback faced by the Elder Ray is that it provides too many signals in a ranging market. To improve the oscillator, we have added the Parabolic SAR to work alongside the Elder Ray. Thus, we only take a position when both indicators signal a buy. What is the Parabolic SAR? The Parabolic SAR is a trend-following indicator marked on the graph by black dots. When the black dots are below the price, the Parabolic SAR indicates a bullish market. When the black dots are above the price, it suggests a bearish market. Elder Ray + Parabolic SAR We can use the sell signals from the Elder Ray to close out positions. As the Elder Ray is quick to react to price changes, it is also fast to take your profits before the market turns against you. One positive aspect of the strategy is that it made big wins and small losses (during the short time we analyzed it). If your strategy has a winning percentage of 50%, but the winners make a 3% profit while the losses are at 1%, then your strategy will still be profitable even if you only win half of the time. Have a great trading week ahead, and we will catch you on the next one! —CRYPTOHOPPER—

BTC Tests New HighsBitcoin has tested the minor resistance around $12,000, which we identified in the last newsletter. Following Bitcoin's rise to $12,000, BTC re-tested the support between $10,000-$10,500. However, the support was tested by the wick of a single candle, which suggests that the support is solid at that price level. A small support level has started to form around $11,000. However, as seen in the chart, it has been broken already by three candle wicks and does not look particularly strong. Looking ahead: BTC’s price seems to have stopped its upward momentum for now. One possible scenario is that the price falls again and re-tests the support at $11,000 before bouncing upward and heading to $12,000. Usually, after a long period of ranging, like the one we have just had, Bitcoin will likely start trending. Therefore it is probable that BTC will break the resistance at $12,000 and make higher highs in the near future. —CRYPTOHOPPER—

Crypto Trading 101: Scalping Trends With DEMAHi hoppers, today we are looking at a scalping strategy that involves scalping trends by combining the DEMA with the ADX. First, let’s break down the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA). Double Exponential Moving Average To understand the Double Exponential Moving Average, lets first explore the “Exponential Moving Average”. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is one of the most frequently used indicators in the crypto sphere. The EMA is a trend-following indicator that is used to identify the direction of a trend. The EMA reacts quicker than the Simple Moving Average to price changes because the EMA gives greater weight to the latest closing prices. The DEMA reacts faster than the EMA by giving even more weight to recent closing prices. We can use the DEMA on the 15 minutes chart to identify solid entry points. Keep in mind, the DEMA has the same weakness as all trend-following indicators: ranging markets. When the market is ranging, the DEMA will keep opening up new positions. Therefore, it is critical to use another indicator to identify when the market is trending, and when it is not. Now let’s take a look at how to use the ADX to improve the profitability of the DEMA. Average Directional Index (ADX) The ADX is a volatility indicator that measures the strength of a trend. When the ADX is above 25, we can infer that the market is in a strong trend. This can be seen on the graph when the white line crosses above the black line, and the green cloud is active. You can see this better if you click on “Maximize the chart”. We have chosen to run the ADX on the 4-hour chart as the indicator tends to be more reliable on the longer timeframes. For our exit strategy, we have not chosen any indicator. Instead, we have decided to exit based on our usual scalping settings: Take profit 7% Stop-loss 1% Trailing stop loss percentage 1% Arm trailing stop loss 1.5% You can see the positions opened by the strategy better if you click on “Maximize chart”. Have a great trading week ahead, and we will catch you on the next one! —CRYPTOHOPPER—

Crypto Trading 101: Trading Bitcoin With The DMIThe Directional Movement Index (DMI) is one of the few indicators that can be used on its own in trading, especially when it comes to swing trading. The DMI can work as a standalone indicator because it is made up of multiple indicators, specifically: the +DI, -DI, and the ADX indicator. Let’s now dive into how these components fit together! +DI & -DI The +DI and -DI are two lines that measure the strength of positive and negative trends. +DI indicates a positive trend, and in our case, it is marked by the color blue on the chart. -DI represents a negative trend, and it is orange in our graph. When the +DI is above the -DI, the bullish pressure is larger than the bearish one. And if the negative line is above, the bears are dominating the market. Therefore, a bullish signal is given when the +DI crosses the -DI upwards, and a bearish signal is given when the +DI crosses the -DI downwards. ADX You may have noticed the positive (+DI) and negative (-DI) lines have crossed many times on the chart, but we have identified only a few signals (indicated by the green circles on the graph). This is because the signals from the +DI & -DI lines are filtered out by the ADX. The ADX identifies the strength of a trend and the volatility in the market. The white line on the bottom graph represents the ADX, while the horizontal black line has an ADX value of 25. Therefore each time the ADX is above the black line, it indicates a strong market trend and volatility. Following June 3, 2020, the ADX filtered out all of the +DI and -DI signals until the 20th of July. Not trading was preferable as the market has been ranging and was not the best time to trade due to the low volatility. We have used the following settings when creating this analysis. Stop Loss: 5% Trailing Stop loss percentage 2% and arming at 7% —CRYPTOHOPPER—

Bitcoin Turns BullishBitcoin broke the descending triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart on July 21, indicating a significant and unusual breakthrough. What is a descending triangle pattern? The descending triangle is a bearish chart pattern which is made up of lower highs and horizontal lows, which usually indicates that the demand for the coin is weakening. To draw a descending triangle, the pattern requires at least 2 highs (preferably 3) and 2 lows (preferably 3). In the figure above, we have connected 6 highs and 4 lows. The more candles that can be connected, the stronger the pattern becomes, and the more significant the breakout when it occurs. What does this mean for the market? Bearish Triangles tend to be broken downwards, and a crash usually follows. However, Bitcoin made a bullish breakthrough instead. A bullish breakthrough is when the price breaks the upwards channel and starts making higher highs. Looking ahead: Although this is a significant breakthrough, it does not necessarily change the current market conditions. Because the pattern is mostly visible on the 4-hour and 1-hour chart, it is not as strong as if it were present on the daily chart. That said, this breakthrough does suggest that we are now heading to the resistance at $10,500. Whether we will break this resistance remains to be seen.

Cryto Trading 101: Bollinger Bands And VolatilityHave you always wondered how to identify when Bitcoin is volatile and in which direction it is heading? You’re in luck – you can identify both volatility and direction with Bollinger Bands! Bollinger Bands Bollinger Bands are a volatility indicator displayed by a moving average and an upward and lower band. Both bands are typically 2 standard deviations away. When the bands tighten (as it is the case right now), there is less volatility in the market, and a big move is expected to occur soon after. When the bands are very far apart, the market volatility is considered to be very high. The 1-day chart usually works best in determining the overall market volatility and direction. Bollinger Bands can also be used to identify the direction of the market. For example, when the bands are tight, and then the price breaks through the upward band and the EMA points upwards at the same time, the indicator suggests that a bullish trend has commenced. Traders can combine the Bollinger Bands with the RSI crossovers (the RSI with crossovers will signal a buy when the RSI goes from oversold to normal). This strategy works well to identify when the market has recovered from a severe crash and it is marked by the green circles on the chart. In the crypto market, this strategy is typically used on shorter time frames (≤ 4h), to provide more accurate signals. Other indicators that can work well with Bollinger Bands are moving averages. For instance, you can use the Bollinger Bands to find a dip in the market, and then use the crossover of the 1 and 15 EMA to enter a position once the trend is back in your favor.

Bitcoin Halving Comparison, So Far So Good!History tends to repeat itself, and the bitcoin halving appears to be no exception to this particular rule. In 2016, during the second BTC halving, the BTC price experienced strong growth before the halving. A bear market followed, consisting of a 40% drop in price from the pre-halving high to the post-halving bottom. Afterward, a lengthy ranging period ensued. Before the third halving that took place in May 2020, Bitcoin also experienced strong growth of more than 150% from $3,800 to $10,000; just like in 2016, a fast crash followed just before the halving. However, the 2020 crash was truncated and nowhere near as severe as the bear market that traders saw in 2016. Based on this comparison, we can infer that a short correction may follow before the bull market commences. Bitcoin is currently experiencing a range. It took BTC around 160 days to break through the highest price before the halving. We currently sit at 67 days after the halving. While Bitcoin cycles are similar, they are not the same. While it would be impossible to predict accurately when the bullish market will start, based on past trends we can predict that it will most likely occur somewhere between 100-200 days after the halving (or 30 to 130 days from today).

Crypto Trading 101: ATR The Ultimate Volatility FilterHave you made a lot of profit during a trend, only to lose it during a range? With Cryptohopper’s Average True Range (ATR) indicator, you can now safely avoid ranges and only trade the profitable trends. Without further due, let’s take a closer look at the ATR! Average True Range The Average True Range indicator (ATR) is a volatility indicator that increases and decreases in value to reflect the changing volatility of the market. For example, when the market is ranging, the ATR will have a relatively low value, while a high value indicates the opposite. This indicator can be used as a filter for trend-following or momentum indicators. Here at Cryptohopper, we have taken this indicator a step further and added an exponential moving average (EMA) to the ATR to generate volatility confirmation signals on the crossovers between the ATR and the EMA. Within this system, a signal will be created when the ATR crosses the EMA upwards, indicating increased volatility. Another confirmation is generated when the ATR crosses the EMA downwards, displaying decreased volatility. To make the ATR easier to spot visually, our team also added a green cloud for the periods with increased volatility and a red cloud for the periods with decreased volatility. The ATR can work well with both momentum and trend-following indicator, so let’s take a look at what happens when we pair it with an indicator that has both components! Moving Average Convergence Divergence The Moving Average Convergence Trend (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator which generates signals on the crossover of two exponential moving averages. When the histogram turns green, a bullish crossover has taken place, and thus a buy signal is given, and when the histogram turns red a bearish crossover has taken place and a sell signal is given. When you combine the MACD with the ATR, you will trade only when the MACD generates a buy signal, and the ATR confirms the volatility as displayed by the blue line on the graph. We have used the following settings in our display of this strategy: Take profit 3% Stop-loss 2%

Crypto Trading 101: Making A Profit With The ADXWhat Is The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX)? The ADX is an indicator used to identify the strength of a trend. The higher the value of the ADX, the stronger the trend. Today, we will explore how you can incorporate the ADX in your trading! How to use the ADX Because the ADX determines the strength of a trend, it works best when paired up with a trend-following indicator. Examples of trend-following indicators include the DMI, SMA, EMA, DEMA, Hull Moving Average, MESA, Parabolic SAR, KAMA, T3, TMA, WMA, TEMA, MACD, etc. The ADX often comes together with the DMI (Directional Movement Index), as its the case on Tradingview. We have hidden +DI and -DI in our graph, and therefore we only view the ADX. Today we have chosen to combine the ADX with the MESA to create an exceptional strategy. For this example, we have chosen a threshold of 25 for the ADX. Thus, for MESA signals to be valid, the ADX will need to have a value greater than 25. To make the value of the ADX easier to identify, we have added a horizontal line to represent the threshold visually. Therefore, as seen in the graph, each time the pink line is above the black line, the ADX indicates a strong trend. The MESA indicates a bullish momentum when the cloud turns green. This strategy will only open a position when the MESA is green while the ADX has surpassed its threshold. To exit positions opened by this strategy, we have used the following settings: Take Profit 15% Trailing stop loss percentage 2%, arming trailing stop loss 5% Stop-loss 4% You can add these settings to your hopper by going into the config/baseconfig/sell settings.

NZD/USD at a Huge Decision Point NZDUSD has been in a downtrend since late 2014 and has been sliding down since then. It has been forming a descending triangle which it had broken with the recent black swan event we have seen across the markets. Since then, it had reclaimed the descending triangle and trading back into it. It is at a big decision time. If it breaks above, NZD can rally significantly, if it breaks down i think the triangle will act as resistance. We are also pretty close to the apex of it. Usually descending triangles are bearish formations and 70% of them end up breaking down. However, the fact that it had already broken down and reclaimed back into the triangle makes me vary about the formation itself. Furthermore, the fact that triangle was broken due to the virus, it might go in any direction it is hard to tell. What is clear is the fact that NZD has been making lower highs continously on a weekly scale which is hard to ignore. I am leaning bearish and a break down to make a new low but I will stay in sidelines. I would only trade the confirmation of a break out in either direction. I wouldn't jump the gun and try to pick a side right now. Especially with what's going around the world. Assuming it would break down, my target to close to short and turn bullish is the green line.

Swing Trading Bitcoin With The Aroon and ADXSwing Trading Bitcoin With The Aroon and ADX The market has continued its ranging period and is now closing in on the support level around $8,500-$9,000. Although the market has been ranging over the past two months, you can still make a profit by trading with the Aroon and ADX! Let’s start by taking a closer look at the Aroon indicator! Aroon Aroon is considered to be both a momentum and a trend-following indicator. Aroon is represented by two lines, Aroon up (the orange line) and Aroon down (the blue line), and fluctuates between 0% and 100%. Aroon measures the frequency of new highs during uptrends. If the price is continuously rising and making new highs, Aroon up will be 100 and Aroon down 0 and vice versa. However, when the price is not making new highs, it means that the uptrend is fading out, and we can have a correction or trend reversal. The indicator generates buy and sell signals through crossovers. When “Aroon up” crosses “Aroon down” upwards, it means that a positive trend has initiated, and it signals a buy (marked with a green circle on our graph). On the other hand, when “Aroon down” crosses “Aroon up” upwards, it will send a sell signal. We have only used the buy signals from the indicator in this example. The downside of the Aroon is that it may give out signals during a range that may not be as profitable as during a trend. Therefore we have added the ADX to act as a filter! ADX The ADX or average directional index is a volatility indicator that measures the strength of the trend. The higher the value of the ADX, the stronger the trend. We are going to filter out signals given when there is no clear direction in the market. Therefore, all signals provided by the Aroon must coincide with the ADX having a value greater than 25. To filter out signals even further, you may also want to add a MESA or Parabolic SAR on the daily chart to make sure you are only trading when the broader trend is in your favor. To exit positions opened by this strategy, we have used the following settings: Trailing stop loss percentage 2%, arming trailing stop loss 4% Stop-loss 3% You can add these settings to your hopper by going into the config/baseconfig/sell settings.

Trading Bitcoin With The Absolute Price OscillatorCryptohopper Newsletter Market Analysis Another week of trading means another week of ranging in the Crypto market. Bitcoin is still unable to break the resistance at $10,500, while still holding on to the support. Usually, a long period of stability is followed by a period of volatility. Therefore it can be expected for BTC to make a significant move in the near future. The “Absolute Price Oscillator” (APO) is an indicator that is very useful in swing trading and determining these significant moves. We will first start by determining what the Absolute Price Oscillator is! Absolute Price Oscillator The APO displays the difference between two EMAs of a coin’s price and is displayed as an absolute value. The indicator is thus the difference between the fast exponential moving average (in our case 10) and the slow exponential moving average (in our case, 20). The indicator provides a buy signal when the line is above 0 and sell signal when it is below 0. When it is above 0, it means that the fast EMA is above the slow one, and when it is below 0, it means that the slow EMA is above the fast one. When and how is it best used? That’s what we will explore in the next section. How to use the APO effectively From our observations, the APO tends to behave better on the larger timeframes than on the smaller ones. On the shorter timeframes, the indicator tends to give out more “fake” signals than on the longer ones. Based on the last bull-run observations, the indicator would work on the 4-hours timeframe with other sell settings such as take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop loss. If used with its sell signals on the 4h timeframe, it may result in lower profits as its sell signals are generally too slow to cover profits adequately. However, on the 1-day time frame, the indicator has proven to be able to work well with its sell signal. This success can be attributed to the price having a more clear direction than on the smaller timeframes.

Swing Trading Bitcoin Like A ProCryptohopper Newsletter Market Analysis After a 20% crash a week ago, Bitcoin is again testing the resistance around $10,000. Should this resistance break, $11,000 will probably be the next price target in this bull run. Even if the price does not break the resistance at $10,000, it still provides us with many opportunities for some very profitable swing trades, which we will cover in this newsletter! Momentum + Trend Professional traders will, in most cases, look at more than one indicator. They look at multiple indicators because each indicator, no matter how accurate, will always have drawbacks and will need to be complemented by at least another one. In our case, the weakness of Williams %R is that it will signal a buy continuously while the price is crashing, and you may enter a position too early. The drawback of the Tripple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) crossover is that it may provide too many signals, especially in a ranging market. It will sometimes also signal a buy when the price is overbought. However, when combining the two indicators, we can buy when the price is oversold and when the trend is back in our favor. Similarly, we can sell when the price is overbought, and the trend is no longer in our favor. Generally, these indicators are among the first to react in their respective category. Williams Percent %R is a fast oscillator that detects when the momentum has shifted faster than the RSI or Stochastics. The TEMA is among the quickest moving averages, as it gives three times more weight to the most recent data than the regular EMA. Therefore it will also be among the first to react. Together these indicators can be used to great effect when taking long positions in a bullish market and shorts in a bearish one. They will provide signals often even on the higher time frames.

What is Bitcoin's next target?Cryptohopper Newsletter Market Analysis The most significant event in the Crypto space has occurred this week, the Bitcoin Halving! Since yesterday the supply of newly mined Bitcoin has been reduced in half, consisting of 900 BTC per day, as opposed to the previous 1,800. Many traders are expecting Bitcoin to surge in value significantly over the next one to two years. With that in mind, let’s analyze the asset’s next move! Bitcoin can be considered to have been in an uptrend for about two months ever since it hit this year’s low at $3,800 on the 13th of March. The price currently sits at an increase of 135% since then. We have created an uptrending channel based on the highs and lows of BTC over this increase. If BTC were to continue respecting this channel, then we can consider it to be on the oversold side and as such at a good purchasing price. If Bitcoin were to continue this uptrend, the next higher high it could hit is $10,500 . This level is significant for three main reasons: it is the highest price BTC achieved this year, it is the resistance level of the previous bull run which ended in February, and it also acted as resistance during the fast 1-day pump of around 40% on the 25th of October, 2019. If the current trend were to continue its pace, this level should be hit in about three days. However, if this trend is broken, then we could see the price retest the support at around $7,500. Considering that the last halving in 2016 started with a pull-back, we shouldn’t rule out the possibility of a retracement before bull-run. Join us at Cryptohopper to take advantage of these swings by automating your trading!

RSI vs. William's % Which One To Use, And When?Cryptohopper Newsletter Bitcoin’s rebound seems to have slowed somewhat, with a correction of more than 10%. However, the price now appears to be pushing higher again and is close to this month’s high. Depending on the kind of momentum indicator you have selected, you might or might not have taken advantage of this opportunity. In this week of technical analysis, we will look at two different momentum indicators: The RSI and Williams % and see which ones are the best to use and when. Without further due, let’s start by diving into the RSI! RSI The Relative Strength Index is one of the most used momentum indicators in trading. The RSI is a momentum oscillator that fluctuates between oversold and overbought . When RSI is below 30, it is generally considered to be oversold and at the right time to buy, and when it is above 70, it is usually regarded as overbought and a good time to sell. The RSI is significantly slower than William’s %, and as such, it can be used effectively on larger time frames to predict recovery from more significant market crashes. In a bullish period, though, the RSI might give minimal signals only. Let's now look at William’s % William’s % William’s % is another momentum oscillator that is frequently used by traders. Just like the RSI, this indicator oscillates between oversold and overbought zones. When this indicator is below -80, it is said to be oversold, and when it is above -20, it is said to be overbought. William’s % is faster and gets into oversold or overbought zones quicker and a lot more frequently than the RSI. As such, Williams % can be used very efficiently in a bullish market as it will quickly and efficiently mark each pullback the uptrend has. However, the indicator may provide too many signals in a bearish market, thus leading to significant losses. RSI + Williams % In conclusion, the RSI is better used on the more extended time frames in order to identify the reversal of significant crashes, while William’s % works better in an uptrend. What some traders do, and it should generally be avoided, is using the two indicators together to provide a buy signal. For example, using both the RSI and Williams % and then buying when they are both oversold. However, this can be very dangerous, as Williams % will show oversold each and every time the RSI does too, and as such, you are really only relying on a single indicator instead of two. With that out of the way, it is possible to use both indicators together on different time frames successfully, but we will cover this another time!

Bitcoin Halving History And PredictionsCryptohopper Newsletter BTC has continued its rebound, and it is now 90% up from its lows this year at 3,800$. With the halving about a month away, many BTC enthusiasts and investors expect the price of the asset to continue its uptrend. Today we will examine the past two halvings and give out our predictions for how the third halving will play out based on the past data. Without further due, let’s take a look at the previous halvings and at our predictions for the third! First Halving The first Bitcoin halving occurred on November 25th, 2012. The price of Bitcoin before the halving was only 12$ . After the halving, the price increased by more than 9,000% to 1,160$ in about 1 year. This was followed by an 86% market crash over the course of 420 days. After a long period of consolidation of about 300 days, the price started to increase again before the next halving. Let's now take a look and see how similar or different the price behaved during the second halving. Second Halving The second Bitcoin halving occurred on July 9th, 2016. The price of Bitcoin before the halving was only 650$ (half of the previous high) . After the halving, the price increased by almost 3,000% (only a third compared to the other one) to 19,500$ in about a year and a half. This was followed by an 84% market crash over 364 days. After a shorter period of consolidation of just over 100 days, the price started to increase again before the next halving. Sounds similar? Well, that’s because it is. The price followed an almost exact pattern from the first halving. We will now move on to our predictions of the third halving based on the data gathered from the previous two. Third Halving The third halving is set to occur on May the 13th. If the third halving will follow the other two, then the price of Bitcoin should be around 9,000$-10,000$ around the time of the second halving (half of the last high). After the second halving, the price should increase by about 1,000% if it is to follow the tradition of increasing 3 times less than the previous halving. If all of the previous statements turn out to be true, then we could expect BTC to reach around 90,000$-100,000$ after the third halving. The price should then follow a correction of around 80% down to 20,000$ . In short: We expect the price to be around 9,000$-10,000$ around May 13th. We expect BTC to reach around 90,000$-100,000$ at its next peak. We expect the price to follow a correction down to 20,000$. These are of course our expectations based on how the price behaved over the previous 2 halvings. The price won’t necessarily occur following the exact steps we displayed here. As with technical analysis in general: the price tends to follow historical patterns but it doesn’t have to. If the price will behave similarly to the first two halvings, then trend-following indicators will be very useful in identifying the trend and riding to the moon.
