Cryptogame - Margin Battle

Another chart. I have too many other charts to put here, which I will add in description later. There is a lot going on behind the scene. Bitmex 100x leveraged trading has had a clear impact on the cryptomarket. Other leveraged trading options at Bitfinex for alts are playing a major role and have resulted in wicks which are not ignorable. Currently the alts have too many long positions compared to shorts, where as BTC and only 2-3 others alts have more shorts than longs. Of course there are always other aspects to look at and clearly have an impact on the inter- and intraday prices.

Please leave a comment (healthy discussion please) and click on the agree button if you do agree or like this chart.

Thanks.

Spot the pattern

Note

We have a breakdown on the rising wedge now....

Important dates:
CME BTC Futures expiry - 6th September 2018
SEC's decision deadline on Bitwise BTC ETF application - 7th September 2018.
SEC's decision deadline on CBOE/SolidX BTC ETF application - end of September 2018.

Note

BTC may follow the yellow brick road....

Note

As long as BTC is within this channel, the expected direction is downwards....

Even if it goes up, the purple line (61.8% fib level) is the maximum upside move that I expect at this stage... unless SEC approves the ETF... in which case we will all have fun chasing the cryptomarket....
