What Are YOU Trading Today, & WHY? | E.48 | A Community Based Engagement Resource for Everyone! Sept. 5th - 2017 Basic Crypto Market Stats/Charts Overview for Newer Crypto Family! | Market Cap recovery support climbs again: $151B = + $8B Overnight!

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Today I'm continuing this series, hoping people will read, engage, respond, help each other etc.

I will do this a couple times a week so people see it is a regular series and place they can always come to and refer to the resource.


The markets have been bleeding RED for a lot of the last ~90 days!

MOST of the last 35 days have been great times! -- essentially since the August 1st Bitcoin Hardfork Day, when everything just picked up the afternoon the Bitcoin Fork happened.

We went back over the $100B Crypto market cap just in the last 30 days or so starting August 1st.... stayed there and rose steadily and quickly.

-- buoyed by the Hard Fork / The Forkening of the Bitcoin on Aug. 1st...... into the Bitcoin Cash. Symbol -- $BCH

We hit our market cap low point on July 16th around 8 am EST -- seeing the bottom around the $63B mark.

We basically touched the $180B Market Cap a few nites ago.... and hit the $172B mark 5 days ago.

It is easy to track in my various update series' --- we have gained $30B of market cap in the last 15 days. And lost it.

The history of June/July leading up to where we are now, is in the 2nd half of this post.

Use your charts. They show us today right back to the Aug. 24th range where we were making big market cap gains every day, in the $150B range --- and we are still gaining as I type this!! -- 2:30 pm EST - Sept. 5th 2017

30 day Chart " " :

--


TODAY: $151B MARKET CAP

That's down $21B in 5 days.

But last nite, we gained about ~$8B after a recent correction losing around $35B due to FUD / news out of Communist China about their stance on ICO's and banning them.

--

China does NOT control the whole crypto space and regulation.


Please share what you are BUYING or SELLING -- and why???

Pls. skip to the end if you want to reply, keep reading for the charts and recent history in this series.



The Recent History Leading to Now:


It's definitely been a rough ride again realistically a lot of the last ~110 days, lately- but recovering well and then some the last 30 days!!! If you omit the last 3-4 days and the China FUD we discuss today, we are good!!

Since the June 20th Market Cap ATH of $117B, it has been down...... then up a bit.... then down again. Then up....wait.....nope - then down again then back up..... LOL!

The last 35 days since the Aug. 1st Bitcoin Forkening has been a rocket straight up for the most part.... though as those charts show.


Recent History Leading Us to Today:


~45 days ago when I did my update here on this we were recovering big time....... still depressed but slow recovery at $74B market cap and as high in recovery as $96B.

~40 days ago on my update here - we were at $89B. But we had not crossed the August 1st Bitcoin forkening date!!! And then...

~33 days ago here on my update we had finally crossed back into the $100B market cap range -- that day sitting at $102B when my update here was posted.

The Bitcoin fork day on August 1st changed everything in a lot of ways in the market -- and that was 30 days ago now and apart from some red / corrections in the market here and there -- we have not looked back and the bull market has been charging ahead ---

--Look at the market cap gains daily since 8/1 -

That's + ~$52B gained since August 1st (35 days ago) (again, we had the recent correction or we would be still over $180B today)

It has been a fight!! But we love our Crypto!!!

--


We have been been hovering around a depressed $90-94B Market Cap MOST of the last 95 days and as stated above, really since the market dumped right after the June 20th $117B ATH market cap.

The lowest points since the first week of June after months of sustained upward growth and news. We have had 3 dumpenings down to this range:


BITCOIN: The Forkening......

--

..... has now come and gone (August 1st 2017 Fork date)

--

That was playing havoc with the markets, we know this.

-- There is a lot of jostling going on still now, 35+ days post Forkening for this one reason alone, adding the extra volatility to the markets.


Like the last few weeks when I updated this series.... or my other series on the markets..... the markets gained some similar recovery for a day and then crashed again.... what are we going to see the next 24 hours - 72 hours??????

We have been in steady bull uptrend the last week as I mentioned above.

-- Never a dull day in Crypto LOL.

--

Markets Previously Topped out June 20th / 10 pm EST at $116B - had a big correction and then kept rising.

Around Sept. 1st we touched $180B after weeks of huge gains!!!!

-- with that day being the previous ATH ( All Time High )

I refer to history often, and charts - as a reminder of perspective & balanced trading perspective.

--

You can see the weeks of that proof here in this chart where we topped out at $116.5B on June 20th around 10 pm EST / 6 pm EST. I have shared this chart a few times now:

-- Btw. August 20th and now here the end of August - it has gained another ~$23B bringing us to the (latest/recent) ATH of $168B as of August 30th.

-- Sept. 1st -- It teetered on and off for several hours at the $179.8B mark, oh so close to $180B! (10:45 pm EST / my last check doing a blog post here)

Here is my post and market overview with charts, the night we touched the $180B Market Cap for the ATH end of Aug. / 1st of Sept. 2017:

Awesome post @barrydutton.upvoted and followed you :D make more posts like this;

I'm trading TenX, NEO, IOTA and Stratis BTW

Great reply today!

You get an UV for those comments!!!!

Well when all the market panic i sow a great opportunity to invest and this is what i did today and its good as i did not wait longer as for a while i was almost to wait one more day.
So in the last moment i purchase 1000 BitShares (BTS), 3000 Status (SNT) and 1000 Humaniq (HMQ). Generally a hundred usd and a bit in each altcoin. I wanted to buy as well some SmartCash but they are not yet on Bittrex and i got really disappointed because of that. As well i was thinking to buy some EOS but i will wait for the moment as i am thinking (this is just me) the price will still go down.
So generally (leaving aside the disappointment because of SmartCash) i think today was a great day as i manage to take 3 altcoins with great prices.
Most of the times when the market goes down i don't panic and i buy and today was one of this days!
Keep up the good work guys and always Steem On!

I just UV those great comments today!!!!!!!!!!!

in my pretend portfolio in my head, I bought btc while it was down. Although after a lengthy conversation earlier, my bro has got me wondering if it will drop again yet! We shall see. Anyway, I guess trading in your head is different to real money lol but for now, I continue to watch and learn. My next learning curve is how to draw predictor graphs and understand them lol, so if anyone has any suitable links that they think may help me, I would be most appreciative! Thank you! :D

I do daily price forecasts for Bitcoin and I give trading tips and alerts too :)

I use a combination of tools and trading theories to make my predictions. I always use Bollinger Bands (which shows high and low ranges as well as moving average), Stochastics (indicates market strength as Overbought or Oversold) and then I overlay some Fibonacci Retracement over the latest peak and valley to find possible retracements.

Additionally I will look for wedge patters, cup and handle formations, head and shoulder patterns as well as obvious support and resistance lines.

If you have any questions please feel free to comment on my blogs :)

Greetings! I just followed you. (I know, not so sneaky if I tell ya.)😏

Excited to learn more!

haha It is quite simple really, I am OBSESSED with bulldogs and strive to breed heathier happy beautiful bulldog puppies ☺ It is my lifelong ambition to get a healthier bulldog genepool as the last 50 years has seen a huge decline in bulldog heath due to bad breeding in my opinion ☺

Holy cow, that is a great reply -- I had no idea about any of this.

Good for you!!!

Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.

I couldn't resist buying NEO, EOS, IOTA, SNT and SC yesterday. The prices were just unbelievable and bound to bounce back in a few weeks!

I do not think you and I will disagree ever on much from what we have learned about each other so far LOL

The past few days have been stressful to say the least but Litecoin, Golem and TenX have made me a nice profit during the roller coast.

Thank you China :D

LOL.

Well said there at the end

Hahahahaha!!!
