Good Morning Crypto Lovers and welcome to the pub. I get to deliver some good news and remind you that your lady at home (and behind the bar) doesn't really believe in the commercialism but appreciates a special token of your appreciation.......and has to have SOMETHING to say to her friends at work.....So my advice is buy a pint for yourself, and something reasonable for her.

Well it is all love today as that arsehole with the wings and bow has pegged all coins with an arrow and we are up across the board. BTC was modestly below 9k til this morning and is fighting to stay above right now at a 6+% 24-hour increase. Privacy coins have made their push as well and ETH is continuing to ETH with solid slow gains. The big bright spot has been LTC because of (in this order of magnitude) my shoutout in yesterday's Coin that are catching my eye, the Litepay announcement (https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/918068/litecoin-litepay-Charlie-Lee-CoinMarketCap-Palwasha-Saaim-Przemek-Skwirczynski) and the upcoming Litecoin Cash fork in a few days.

Todays T&A is giving a little love to @zappl which is another great steem technology, this time taking aim at Twitter and looking for some investors. https://steemit.com/zappl/@zappl/zappl-inc-is-looking-for-serious-investors-updated-buisness-and-marketing-plan
Bitcoin was consolidating and beginning to squeeze a little on the Bollinger Bands while was charging towards resistance after a couple weeks of testing support. After a cross on the MACD (3 hour chart,) the previous resistance fake-out (breaks resist and then settles back below it) was confirmed by a real breakout. After the Specu-Line©, I am educatedly guessing on a bit more up, short RSI top grind, a bounce off the real resistance (from first week of Jan) and a smaller correction towards support. From there it is 50/50 but the last leg with the break of the resistance is optimism/cheer-leading/we have spent too much time in this correction and it is time for BTC to BTC again.

Coins treating their loved ones well today include:

• Project Decorum (PDC) -Blockchain-Based platform for creating Forums, comments sections and organizing your social circles - https://www.project-decorum.com/ https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-PDC
• Monero (XMR) DASH, and privacy coins

Personal Trading Strategy today: Buy some dips to get up to 50% in Crypto. Cash out of LTC and Monero in the green, get me some NEO before it wakes up with Chinese new year.
