Simple Says it AllThis is simple chart with Parabolic Stop and Reverse (PSAR) and Momentum Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) FIBs are used on both. Resistance is FIB .5 for the candles. FIBs are set at the ultimate lows and highs for each. Interesting that the MACD signal line (Blue) is just at the MACD zero line. This is a strong Bear Market still. Trade dips carefully. For those that dare. I trade dips if and only if I can establish a .10 gain on the trade with volume. It is very possible that a downward continuation will persist until a 786 is achieved. However, there are recent events that will impact the trades. 1) South Korean officials have halted the embargo on crypto overnight. The legitimate holders of cryptos will be able to continue trading. The exchanges are now fully operational and free to trade. 2) The real BTC futures market contracts that are strong shorts will come off on the 26th. 3) The first set expired Friday-This may be why the 18th popped. A MACD closure to up an a PSAR change are very good indicators to go long.

XRP maniaTo buy or not to buy at the all time high? The cryptocurrency world is full of mania, hype and volatility. The latest greatest token gets pumped until dumped. And for the past few years, fortune favors the brave who continue to HODL for the long term. But just how volatile? We can look at the measure of 30 day historic volatility using an chart study called HV(30) which is currently showing an annualized volatility of 333% on XRP at this time. To better understand how volatile this is, we can compare the S&P 500 volatility which has been measured at record lows of under 10% annualized. To better comprehend an asset this volatile, we can also look at the volatility on a shorter time frame to estimate a typical price range for the next 24 hour period. Using a formula of : 333% / sqrt(365) = 17.43 we can assume the normal price range of XRP (68% of the time) will be +/-17% over the next 24 hours. If you're thinking this seems like a very wide range, that's the key point here! The measured price moves are extremely volatile and (in contrast to the bullish speculators pumping up the price of XRP to the next all time high) quite reasonable to expect the price to suddenly drop by 17% overnight (or even 34% when a two standard deviation move happens). It's essential that speculators understand the risks associated with throwing their cold hard cash into the crypto currency game. Sadly, all too often the euphoric crowd can silence any real serious discussion of uncertainty and risks.. just at the time when it is needed the most.
