Logscale

DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN....To be straight forward honest with you, I did not expect BTC to reach 7k before the major leg down. But there are two important things I'd like to talk about. 1. Notice how on the log scale we didn't even break through March's downtrend. Remembers me of the time when BTC broke through December's resistance on the auto scale, everybody was bullish and nothing happened. BTC actually went down again. Why? Because this major resistance hasn't been broken on the log scale. Same thing might happen here. 2. We got yet another rising wedge forming. BTC formed a similar rising wedge at the beginning of April - remember how bullish everybody was? The afore mentioned rising wedge was underlined by a (hidden) bearish divergence. Well...guess what. BTC is forming yet another rising wedge, with a hidden bearish divergence on the 1H Chart AND apparently on the daily chart. If the wedge is confirmed by a high volume breakdown, expect 5.800$ to happen and consider shorting. In case BTC manages to break through 7.250$, we might see 7.500$. Wish you a nice sunday.

And the most interesting confluence goes to! BTCUSDThe 3.618 measured from $0 to the 2013 ATH & The 0.786 measured from $0 to the 2017 ATH $5 difference.... Interesting, right? -- The big question on all our minds, where is the bottom? Unfortunately there is no correct answer. The market makers will force sell offs until they can't force any more. Then, and only then, will price reverse. We speculators will do our jobs regardless, we will speculate, we will trade the trend and make a living off the micro (or not so micro) movements. Note: The current long term support is the weekly 50 moving average. Open and close a weekly candle under that and I expect we see the 0.786 / 90 moving average. The real question you should be asking yourself is; Do I believe in bitcoin long term? If the answer is yes, then now is the time to start Dollar Cost Averaging down. Why wait for the bottom and average up? That makes no sense right, and what if the bottom is already in and you missed it? -- I am bullish long term. In case you hadn't noticed. "Target sir?" $32K by 2020, conservatively. P.S I changed the background of my chart to reduce strain, I must be getting old.

Perspective on Bitcoin -> Logarithmic & Linear ScaleHello dear friends! I hope you are doing well. I've been laying sick in my bed for most of the week, so you haven't seen much TA from me lately. I'm starting to get back on my feet again, so let's kick off with a dual chart on Bitcoin / US dollar. This Bitcoin chart is all about perspective. The chart on the right is using the linear price scale, to which most of us default in our daily trading. The chart on the left is using the log, short for logarithmic, scale. For those who might be unfamiliar with the log scale, here is the definition from Investopedia: A type of scale used on a chart that is plotted in such a way that two equivalent percent changes are represented by the same vertical distance on the scale, regardless of what the price of the asset is when the change occurs. Some of us might be saddened or pessimistic about Bitcoin / the cryptocurrency market right now. This is very understandable, especially if we look at the lineair price scale. Bitcoin went down to $5,800 in February, coming from nearly $20,000 in December. Right now, shorter term, the market is bearish and Bitcoin's volatility is dominating trends of alt coins. However if we zoom out and look at the bigger picture it seems less wrecked as it might appear. In November / December 2017, Bitcoin rocketed to the moon, hype and fomo fueled rocket engines make it break orbit from the yellow channel on the log scale chart, but... it couldn't escape its gravity and when the hype fuel burned up it got pulled right back in to the channel. We could and should probably call it a crash, also considering how it influenced the market as a whole, but it still acts within the yellow ascending channel, while it could also have crashed through that bottom by now if the market would have crashed beyond repair or hope for salvation. This chart is for reflection purposes, I hope it might help those of you in need for fresh perspective. I will soon post an updated zoomed in BTC chart with my short term price expectations. Personally I only enter trades after I witness a break confirmation. My analysis is not financial advice: you should never invest solely upon reading my or another persons TA and do your own research: explore news, social media, tech info and so on. Monitor your investment and set alerts and stop loss orders in place. If you like my charts an upvote/like is much appreciated. Happy Trading! ~ CryptoJC

Bitcoin - stick a fork in meWhere are we on the Bitcoin/crypto journey? This log scale chart roughly guesses at different stages on the Gartner hype cycle. We might still be on the way up to the peak of speculation, we may have peaked, and the chart also imagines that this asset class might continue to grow more modestly than it has previously done, up to September next year. And maybe that's a reasonable assumption, as this might be the year that scaling and mass adoption of blockchain gets cemented. With Bitcoin reaching its tenth birthday next year, it'll be interesting to find out. Let's see how well this ages.

BTC - Log Scale Trend LinesThis is really interesting to me. Trend lines change position depending on whether you are in log or linear scale. The trend line from the All Time High hits in a different place then the linear version. Anyway, I picked a spot (a dip) right about Aug 24th, 2015 as a starting point for that white trend line. Even though it wanders sometimes above and sometimes below the ever rising wave trends, the amount of direct hits in support and resistance are too numerous to discount. And here it is, running right thru my Wave 2 ABC target box... (still holding around my $8,800 target!). The next interesting thing is it's forthcoming intersection with the log scale purple trend line down from the All Time High. Make of it what you will. I'm not completely sure how to analyze it's potential... but I DO find it fascinating! Any thoughts? Best of luck traders! Wishing you all the best in 2018.

LOG SCALE IS KING, DOWNTREND STILL ACTIVE!It turns out the log scale is holding precedence over normal btc charts at this current time. For what seemed to be a very optimistic time for everyone who thought we were out of the downtrend on the regular scale, has quickly realized things are not so simple. Btc has more falling to do, the V shape recovery that we have been doing has been something out of a movie or a dream. In the long run this type of recovery isnt healthy for the growth of bitcoin. If we want to go on another bull run that completely engulfs the last, we are going to have to fall more and gradually build like the previous parabolic curve but on a longer and bigger scale. The trend is still bear, as confirmed by the recent kiss and plummet from our top downward trendline. I believe this is wave 5, and after the completion of this wave we can be sure we have hit bottom and set ourselves back to being bullish. until then, short every bounce upward to profit and increase your capitol for when the real bottom hits. Im expecting a bottom anywhere from 3k-5k. however a double bottom would be more than ideal aswell.

MU seems poised for a major upside move...Again!So MU has been insane this year and has been one of my most profitable picks, however, I try to limit greed and sold when my stop losses were triggered, seeming like a decent move for opportunity cost. However, something big here seems to be forming. Looking at a logarithmic chart on the daily time-span, we see a fantastic channel forming. This stock looks poised for another major move upward. Minimum profit target of $50, but that's if it hits the middle of the pitchfork. In reality, don't be shocked to see 57 or 60 by next earnings. MACD seems like it's about to move bullish again on the daily as well. On the shorter time frame (30 Minute), ichimoku is looking good, as well as a positive 5-day Moving Average. MU is above its yearly VWAP and so if it gets above 45.50, I think we could see a nice move from MU, a very profitable one. Keep this one on your watch list guys, the volatility in MU mixed with the undervaluation (and yes, this stock is ridiculously undervalued) means major gains could be heading into our pockets.

Watch XRP!!XRP having grown so much over the past few days, weeks, month is actually pretty difficult to study. We can have a better view of it's price action and possible movements on the log scaled chart. Let's dive in. It seems that XRP has been in a downward trend since it's all time high, as expected and much in the same way that the whole market has. XRP broke through many lines of support, and even made it's way below it's 200 EMA much in the same that BTC had. It seems we are seeing an upward trend or reversal. As in all markets we are returning to the mean. Moreover, the MACD has kissed and the RSI is starting to look up. There is still a long ways to go but it's a good sign. Will we be able to break above this 200 EMA which has in turn become a great point of resistance? I don't know. Should we watch it? Of course. It seems that the downward trend and the EMA + fib level point of resistance all converge. This is going to be very interesting to watch. Please comment, and challenge my ideas bellow. Let's discuss this. I am not a financial advisor this is not financial advice. Best of luck. X
