Good morning CryptoPubbers and welcome inside the establishment on an exciting morning! There is tempered excitement in the air as we prepare for a liquid lunch and a stab at the weekend.

Posting this update a little earlier this morning out of excitement for being the bearer of good news for a change. Apparently BTC is excited as well as it work up with a large green erection in the form of a jump of over 10% in an hour. More in the T&A. EOS is continuing on its tear at almost 30% up from yesterday at this time with a price of nearly $9. ETH is almost keeping pace with BTC at ~10% up and privacy coins are finally doing well with Monero and Dash up double digits. ELF continues to lead my pet coin race up a whopping 40% and my poor Tron is in last place with only a 3.5% increase over yesterday.

T&A today brought to you by @ikrahch who it taking time to teach us a little Turkish https://steemit.com/turkishlearning/@ikrahch/some-calling-words-in-tukish-or-day-6
If we zoom in on BTC to the 3-hour chart, you can see the excitement contained to 1 pump. We were about to cross back down on the MACD for a dip and the buying started happening. If I were to speculate, as I often do, I would guess on a return to the resistance line around 8k and we are still in the Popcorn zone I indicated in yesterday's post. I wanna see a nice strong break of resistance with the room still left on the 12 hour STOCH, and the daily STOCH is about half way up.

Daring to sneak a peak at the daily Litecoin chart, we can see it caught some of the pump that BTC distributed. Price broke the month old resistance for a few minutes with the momentum but dropped back to ~$123 which happens to be the median line of the Bollinger. We are still undervalued and headed up medium term but it is tough to call the short term. The 1-hour chart is calling for down and the 3-hour chart is showing up. I will HODL and see if we can stay above resistance and get solidly into the bull section of the daily Bollinger over the next day or so.
