My crypto thoughts are they're gonna pull down the whole system soon enough leaving all you pseudo traders with nothing but your dick in your hands

 i thought you'd be down with crypto man, saying fuck you to the banks and financial industry and all that

crypto is controlled by the ppl right since its all open source

 I'm down with whatever destroys the uncontrolled longing for increase in the acquisition of material and financial gain.

Most crypto are relatively correlated with BTC. 

Does this give you any prediction power? Can you actively or passively trade on that information?

ive had 2 tabs up for BTC and ETH so i can watch their price from the tab name (it updates automatically) while im doing other stuff

the graphs for eth and btc are incredibly similar, but eth always has a slight delay following btc

im thinking if its possible for me to exploit this delay for profit (im guessing ppl already do this but im trying to think about this shit and come up with ideas myself) by selling and buying ETH not based on the ETH price, but on the BTC price to stay 1 step ahead

???

 Sometimes BTC will be the one to spike more than the alt coins, but usually they move roughly at the same time.

In my personal experience trading BTC/ETH pairs wasn't a smooth move. You want to trade with Tether or some other stablecoin or fiat what have you.

The above chart shows the 4 largest coins by market cap. We're looking at Tether ( USDT ) There's a reason why Tether is in the top 3, even though it'll never grow. Traders tend to run back to Tether or some other stable coin whenever the market falls.

Why is Polkadot in this picture ? No reason really. It's just been really good as it slapped down XRP this week making it the worlds 4th largest cryptocurrency. Polkadot is also very young and expected to blow up nicely.  ( $5.30 a month ago. )

I like to trade the cheap stuff. For now I'm holding Sushi, it's about to retest $7.30 today for the 3rd time and if it breaks out I'll keep it, but if not I'll sell it and buy it back when it drops 13%.

When it comes to trading you really have to be there in the heat of the moment. And if you want more Bitcoin or Ethereum, trade a good alt, as there are things out there that will see more gains and even 2x a lot sooner than BTC and ETH at this point in time.

I did laugh at Sushi as it had a bit of drama in Q4 2020, but it was turned over to an exchange and it's been redeemed. It can break $15 no problem in the near future. Here's what it did since November till today.

EDIT: Make that $7.70. I wasn't accurate with the measuring tool, but close enough.

Also. This is not financial advice. It just kinda is, whenever you sell is up to you.

 Whenever Bitcoin is moving slow, we can take advantage of altcoin trading. Not all of them. 

Bitcoin tends to move first, then everything else follows, and if you look at January 11th of this year, BTC fell down and a whole heap of coins also had a large dip on that day. So while we're monitoring Bitcoin and it starts tumbling, we can then run to our other bags and start the sell off cause when we get there we see it happening. 

I wouldn't say it's predicting the market, it's just what's normal. Everything I've said here isn't always 100%, it's just the regularities.

What I was saying last time.

My expected target of $7.70 was reached and she's coming down now. The reason I expected it to turn around at that level is because it's common for highs to retest resistance lines. That being the purple line. When we break above the resistance line, it more often than not becomes the support line.

 

Here's the image I posted in chat the other day.

And here is what it looks like now.

Another thing I could have done was measure the big dip with the Fibonacci arc tool.

Posted Image

Notice I never had to overlay the arc with the fib ring, I only had to draw it along the top and bottom of the big dip. 

 

The lines with digits on it is a fibonacci retracement tool and it's widely used by professional traders. 10 out of 10 times when I use this tool I'm impressed with how it works. When measuring uptrends, you start from the low and draw it to the high and vice versa when measuring a downtrending graph.

The levels do matter and in any case where it happens the most ideal buy "in an overall uptrending graph" would be when it dips down to that red line ( 0.236 ) though it never happened this time.

What we do see though is a that big dip from the other day, it dropped down to the 0.618 at $3.15 before skyrocketing to $7.70 the first time.

It shot past the 1.618 ( Golden number ) on the retracement tool before reaching the 1.618 on the ring. Because of that, I will record the scenero and add it to my data base for the next time I see this happen.

Posted Image

The volatility on this is a lot rougher than usual compared to the rings on other charts I've done. It's swinging up and down, and up and down the 1.618, as it works it's way down that ring. As for the 2.618 line, meh. Sloppy but effective enough. I can see those 3 dips headed toward an uptrend, which would most likely make a very long accending triangle which would indicate a dip for off in the distance. I may entertain that massive triangle later, it could be awhile before it shows face.

How far down the circle will the candles go ? I'm suspecting it to bounce off the 2.168. the next ring is pretty far out there and I honestly couldn't tell you where it'll land. I wouldn't mind if it shot past the next ring and landed on the ring after that one. We'll see.

Because the triangle ( I did not draw because there isn't enough data to see it's top ) is so massive it could be quite a while before that really big dip happens. I think it will be higher than $14.

Trading these lovely dips takes about a day. Sell on the 16th, buy on the 17th, sell on the 18th, and now it's the 19th and I'm preparing to buy the latest dip.

In the event you try this coin, do not buy the top the resistance will be tested for a 4th time and everytime that happens it's more prone to breaking the resistance.

Paper trade, and learn as much as you can about technical analysis.

 Yeah, all we can trade on is 'regularities' in the end and in there lies the problem. 

 Is the regularity the convergence of the overall frequency distribution of events, the most likely and reliable event, or is it merely roughness in the set of events, something only 'regular' here and now? 

Regardless, it seems like it will be a reliable marker until BTC stabilizes at a range of value it will hardly deviate from - $1 million in my opinion.
