That green candle – I bought BTC early in the week and rode it all the way up but I missed actually seeing it happen (glass half full)….ducked out on an errand came back to my office, opened the charts and saw a green candle running off the screen..zoomed out…nope still off the screen, zoomed out some more and finally found the top.
Far too early to tell if the bull is making a return. However, I feel fairly confident in stating that the bears are shaken -resistance broke, broke again and again…even on a steep retrace in the coming days and weeks, sentiment has shifted. It will be hard to overturn this newfound optimism in my opinion. Be careful out there, but better price valuations may well be on the horizon.
I’ve included a few non-crypto articles this week as its rarely a good idea to lose track of developments in other markets, areas of tech and general economic conditions, all of which exert influence on the cryptoverse.
Pick of the Week
Applying Fibonacci levels to the last few failed BTC rallies serve to put this one in context. If you are experiencing FOMO do yourself a favor and checkout this post by workin2005. I also highly recommend checking out this week’s podcast a thoroughly civilized discussion by two crypto enthusiasts both of whom differ on my many points but nonetheless attempt to find common ground.

Twitter & Reddit (cryptos current meta-brains) / Medium / Trybe / Hackernoon / Whaleshares / TIMM and so on/ YouTube / various podcasts and whatever else I stumble upon. The aim is a useful weekly aggregator of ideas rather than news. Though I try to keep the sources current – I’ll reference these articles and podcasts etc. as I encounter them – they may have been published just a couple of days ago or in some cases quite a bit earlier.
