FUD Friday!! Green Market Report After a Week of Red. | Crypto 101 Market Update: Welcome to FUD Fridays Again! | New Crypto Fam: Markets Usually Dip on Fridays, Do not Panic Sell/Buy. Weekly Reminder / Advice.

in #eos6 years ago


Perspective:


Yay!! Some continued GREEN today in the markets on FUD Friday!


-- We have made some recovery and gains this last 15 hours or so.

-- We are down ~$70B in this 7 days for total crypto space market cap from the high point on 2/17 - 6 days ago.

Today, the market is basically about 95/5 in red and green -- it is clearly showing most of the coins up 3 - 9% and basically holding steady -- or what is known as trading sideways. Gathering support / consolidation - usually good signs.

Most of this entire week has been down in the red.

We will take it after the last few weeks!

--

OK... I know most of the whole last several weeks has been bad for crypto. I get that.

I like to report good news, it simply is not always possible .

As of prior weekly reports here, we had lost $160B in the 7 days prior to THAT last report here.... for total crypto space market cap losses. It then got worse as total crypto market cap dipped below the $300B mark briefly.

Sigh.

We also have so many new people arriving to Steemit and crypto every day.... this once a week reminder is for them.

-- TOTAL CRYPTO MARKET CAP --- Today at $446B -- .45 TRILLION now in the space!


FUD Fridays is a thing.


Today is great sure..... but not long ago, remember it was:

... About 98% Red... with a Little Green every week Week on FUD Friday! Just like Christmas! LOL.

We have had a TOUGH several weeks since the Christmas season again in the markets, like --- epic proportions bad. ....continued

Half the market cap was lost overall pretty much during the Christmas season as we know..... and most coins went down half their value or so - some moreso -- in a 2 day period or so then.



Nothing is fully "recovered" still today. Depends on how you measure things.

If you feel the total market was oversold when we hit the $830B market caps, and needed corrections, then we are OK.

We have had 2 or 3 BIG Fridays this last couple months with a lot of green in them!

I like to see that.

-- We definitely have been in a "sideways-recovery triage" as it seems to me the last few weeks. But downwards we have gone since that epic Christmas season high point.

Corrections -- were needed and came in the market.


The total market cap is JUST UP again.... only slightly recently... but we have seen losses in the total sector again the last 2 weeks.

Our high for the last 90 days was a big one on Jan. 7th as you can see where I hovered - $831B

(90 day chart used to cover all the highs and the lows)


When you see dips in coins you like or believe in - fundamentally or otherwise, it is your signal to

Market TLDR Overview Lately:


We started seeing a MUCH deeper correction in the markets in December after huge ATH's that month... that amazing Dec. is well past us now.

We had lost nearly 1/2 of total market cap, and the whole market had been basically bleeding out in the red on and off since mid Dec. - aprox. Dec. 21st actually.

The only real high (was huge) - was that Jan. 7th moonshot period we just mentioned above.

Recent Market Milestones - TLDR:

Continued


~ Many weeks ago, we dropped from ~$ 630B Jan. 21 total crypto market cap to around $570B (- $90B) in about 12 hours and then overnite around then, we dropped below the $520B mark, about 24 hrs after the bleeding started through to Jan. 23. Some of that is charted here.

It kept dropping with minor upswings the last ~65 days or so.

That means we lost about $110B of cap, in 24 hours. Half in about 48 hours.

We went from that ~$730B mark to $495B since I typed this update, weeks ago.

It then dropped further meaning about $135B in losses which sustained in and out over a week or so.

We climbed crazy highs until late Dec. 20th as charts show, when we then hit about 12 days of pre-Christmas blues in the sector losing a ton, and seeing market corrections:

Then again not long ago, similar happened.... we had climbed back to recovery levels around $700B...... and then in 2 hours late one night, we lost about $250B. I watched it live.

I bought the dip.

The whole last month really, we have continued the drop, BTC has dropped below $10K USD several times the last several weeks and the market cap / total ---- for crypto continues to recover as I type this.

This seems to largely be a yearly Christmas season / Jan/Feb correction.

Some of this Jan/ Feb. blues, seems to be tied yearly to the Chinese New Year period, which not many seem to be ever discussing or factoring in.

Still, it dropped below $420B for the first time since Feb. 4th/10 as you can see here: 90 Day View Again:


The last year: - Trending UP Long Term! - Perspective = 1-Year Chart:

Always zoom out for that perspective:

--

I hovered over the roughly) high point there at $820B on Jan. 7th 2018:

I like to report good news, it simply is not always possible as I said earlier.


The Last 30 Days:

The 30 Day High / Low Marks:


  • Again Jan. 28th at $598B total market cap monthly HIGH

  • Feb. 6th LOW mark was a sad $279B.


Ups and downs.... but a pattern of higher lows after pullbacks/corrections has emerged. That's healthy overall.

... but is has continued downards until the last ~week or so.

  • The big recent high , after a pullback I hovered over is 1-20-2018 at about $637B as I have said a few times here.

Newer Steemit/Crypto family:

Many Fridays - Crypto markets often go RED.

Or the gains in the green are small.

It's a trend, just be aware. Remain Calm!


EOS & Bitshares This Week:


-- EOS and BTS (Bitshares) both had another decent week despite big market corrections!!

-- I wrote about it awhile back, but things change so quickly in volatile crypto markets....

https://steemit.com/eos/@barrydutton/crypto-sale-again-get-to-buyin-that-dip-or-30-50-coins-on-sale-crypto-market-dips-usd20b-coins-on-sale-bitshares-eos-hanging

-- so I remain solid and happy about those projects.

They are both undervalued, IMHO in many ways and really held up during the Crashenings of the last 2 months !

-- These are 2 coins/projects/infrastructures/communities that a lot of Steemit users follow, engage with and use.

-- Definitely things for the new user to look into.


Another crazy week in Crypto!


4 Factors to Consider/Watch:


1/ I believe since the Bitcoin chains (yes, you have to include them) is worth so much, and had another crazy week of mooning and breaking huge new ATH's a few times, any loss in total market cap/share for BTC comes from the (2 main / BTC/BCH) Bitcoin chains at the top of the charts.

2/ It shows in the Bitcoin Dominance % at the top of the CoinmarketCap.com page. It's down quite a few % points again this week from my last reports here, 7 days ago, and every Friday.

3/ If you look at the Top 30 or 50 coins in the market, today, a lot of them were in the green, even just a little or with some huge gains, as some money in the space and recent pullbacks has left BTC and went to the Alt Coins, a trend we see all the time. Not today, whole market showing a lot of red and green -- around 50/50 or 70/30 (red/green) perhaps, as we have said here.

4/ But some things have changed.

These days now, there is a growing trend, the money STAYS in the alt coins, as the "Bitcoin Civil War/Problems" rage on.
Look at their collective gains (say, the green numbers everywhere) as well as the:


Will we get back to approaching / living in new / recent ATH's in total market cap of about $760 - 800B range -- finding some support in that area on and off the last weeks.?

Time will tell but I say yes.


Tips:


-- Do your best to remain calm, look at trends and charts for a week, a month and so on.

-- Remain in the game. Do not panic sell or buy ever.

-- Understand the psychology of FUD and FOMO (Fear Uncertainty/Doubt and Fear of Missing Out)

-- Dips are MOST OFTEN JUST CORRECTIONS -- not crashes. Know the difference - Find peace in this.

-- Only Invest What You Can Afford to Lose and Invest in Projects/People/Crypto You Believe In.

Not Investment Advice / Do Your Own Research Always.

We have had some decent and amazing weeks in Crypto til that legendary 1st week in Jan. 2018 that marked the massive pullback/crash/correction... but Fridays often mean the market sees red and loses some value.

It also means that the market often can show small gains (in the green) of 0.2 to 3% -- in the green but small so take note of this also.

Just continue to be aware of these trends.


It climbed a TON this last 2 months or so, but with some deep corrections in the red as we have discussed --- making HUGE new recent losses and ATL's!!! (Lows)

The last few weeks or so as we have discussed, has seen:

  • Crossing the $630B mark - up and down about 17% in big volatile swings....

  • Crossing the $830B mark for 2 sharp peaks for ATH's - Jan. 7th and 8th .

  • Recently dumpening below the $500B / $530B marks and back up - support and consolidation lines for the 1st real time, in ~2 weeks around the ~$550B mark before finding new highs and support there as stated just above.

  • Continued dumpenings past $600B, past $500B and dropping today, to low points, nearing the $400B mark sadly.

  • Continued dumpening recently into the $395B range, something many of us never expected to see, even though we knew the space was overbought and had mooned too quickly during the 2017 fiscal year.

  • Recovery in earnest seems to have started after about Feb. 8th or so seeing consolidations and moves north in the charts steadily.

  • Feb. 6th low mark was a sad $279B.

It was $538B Market Cap after smashing past 400 and 450B inside of a day.... as we said above in the post recently....and Trending Historically is UP! ( recent update factoid quote by myself there)



Perspective, Always I Keep Saying - is Crucial!


When the market dips or gains overall -- always remember BITCOIN (and the related BTC forks) often controls 50% or more of the market -- as the coin with generally the most volume - most worth overall -- and that first mover advantage being first in the space in 2009.

When there is a lot of red in the rest of the market and when a HUGE value coin like BTC is up over 3, 4 or 6% for a day -- it will control a LOT of the market GAINS. And Losses! -- if it is down by larger numbers like that.


But it is important to remain consistent and balanced in things, like I always try to do.

--- that is why I will continue to share this message overall -- with all the new people coming to crypto/Steemit daily!



I Repeat the Following Tips!! :

-- General Reminder remains the same, knowing the average trend we often see!!!

-- Do your best to remain calm, look at trends and charts for a week, a month and so on.

-- Remain in the game. Do not panic sell or buy ever.

-- Dips are corrections -- not crashes.

Market Cycles are normal and REPEAT --- https://steemit.com/money/@barrydutton/economic-cycles-repeat-what-goes-down-must-come-up-learn-this-and-why-and-remain-healthy-emotionally-financially-and-spiritually

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.

Carry On.


Sort:  

Its always something to make us feel much relieve when the cryto market start showing green.
I much hope it keeps being green to much of all we pray for.
Nice post and update sir.

Great post. Keep posting.upvoted
