Falling

Bitcoin continuing to consoldiate inside small 1day fallingwedgeI anticipate it will break up from the wedge at just the right time to find resistance at the horizontal white trendline...then I expect it from there to begin its descent into final capitulation...although we may not see the final capitulation candle until february, I think we will see it by february at the latest. I anticipate we will meet resistance here and not continue to go up based mainly on the current 1 day stochrsi, an how closely this year has resembles 2014

bottom may b near + potential fllng wedge fakeout on 1 wk chartthere is a clear falling wedge pattern on the weekly bitcoin chart. We have now also clearly broken below it, however many falling wedges will have fakeout breakdowns just before 180ing and climbing back into the wedge just before its apex to break upwards....this can also still happen here...not saying it will but it's certainly something to consider...if it were to break above the falling wedge at or before the arbitrary location I have marked here on this chart then a confirmed breakout above it could take the price up to over 8k. Of course there is also a small percentage of falling wedges that fail and break downward and this could always be one of those but I thin if the bottom isn't already in, which it is likely not...it is very likely near and the bottom horizontal line I have on this chart is my presumption of what will be the bottom zone..of course its never wise to call the bottom it's best to rely more on higher high/higher low patterns for buying and lower low/lower high patterns for selling. Either way this continued bear market is still a great opportunity for accumulation so I have all the patience in the world for the bull market to arrive as its gonna be much harder to accumulate on the way up requiring buying more instead of as much accumulating more with the amount I already have by selling and putting it back in at the right times. So yes, I ahve all the patience in the world for the bullrun because I know it will becoming soon enough.

potential inverted h&shoulders overlaid on top of falling wedgeWe are now potentially forming an inverted head and shoulder pattern overlaid on top of the falling wedge which only will increase the odds of a bullish breakout for btc. In order for this inverted head and shoulders to have a chance it must have a bounce before too long and the most likely spot we have as a good bounce support is the top trendline of the falling wedge...if we see it stay above that line odds are good of validating both he breakout of the falling wedge and the inverted h&s pattern but until I see that, this idea will remain neutral for now....if I see it break under the falling wedge trendline I will lean more bearish and think this was nothing more than a dead cat fakeout bounce...but for now we will have to wait and see what it decides to do at the falling wedge top trendline. I may not sell again until it breaks under the bottom trendline of the falling wedge though. The inverted head and shoulders can be seen on the 1hr,2hr,3hr, and 4hr charts. Thanks for reading this NON-financial advice from a NON-financial advisor like myself and good luck!

falling wedge or bearflag? dead cat or possible double bottominside what started out looking like a descending triangle bearflag we have developed a small falling wedge(bullish)on the 1hr chart...shown here is the 4hr chart. The initial 4 hour descending triangle we have already broken below but the whales seem to be holding things above 4k thus no breakdown was triggered casting much doubt on tis being a descending triangle....this could lead to a potential double bottom with 4050 and 4090 however it could still end up breaking below for now it slightly favors the upside temporarily but since that probability is only slight..this idea will remain neutral...this is more or less a no trade zone until it chooses a clear path.

A look at the XRPUSD pair almost at golden cross!Normally my xrp charts are looking at the XRPBTC pair...but with more and more exchanges now enabling the XRPUSD fiat pair I think it's important to factor that in as well. We are currently right around 49 cents but will likely be heading upward soon...you can see the price action has been consolidating in a falling wedge which most of the times break upwards...you can also see here that if we were to break up from the falling wedge at this point where we are now testing its top trendline...the breakout target price would conveniently be right at the neckline of the inverted head and shoulders pattern now forming on the chart as well..We seemed destined to trigger the inv head and shoulder pattern on the xrpbtc pair so I think the xrpusd pair will inevitably trigger its inverted head and shoulder in the near future as well. So I think probability favors XRP breaking bullishly upward from this falling wedge fairly soon as well as a golden cross happening as soon as the next day candle to 3 days from now. Overall very bullish looking indeed.

Halving 1: 9940% Return, Halving 2: 3247%, Halving 3: 1060% ???Bitcoin has experienced 2 halving events since its inception in 2008, the first on 28 November 2012 and the most recent halving event on 9 July 2016, whereby mining rewards are reduced by 50%. Each one of these events has been preceded with a strong uptrend in the months leading up to the event and each of these events experienced a significant rally for the subsequent 12 - 18 months from the halving date. Bitcoin's next halving date will take place roughly 20 May 2020 and, like the previous 2 events, I am expecting an uptrend in the months running up to the event as well as in the months thereafter. To see how these events compare to the upcoming event 18 months from now, we can look at the duration and returns between each halving event date and its next ATH. As per my previous longer term post, I believe Bitcoin should move within either the orange channel or the yellow channel over the longer term. In the short to mid term, we should find out which of these channels it's going to be as the market patiently awaits a decision by the SEC regarding the Van Eck Solid X Bitcoin ETF application which has been ongoing for quite a few months now. 29 December 2018 is decision day for the Van Eck ETF but the SEC may defer the decision one last time to 29 February 2019, in which case I expect the price to fall below the larger uptrend support for a retest of the 2018 annual lows. If the Van Eck ETF does get approved on 29 December 2018, this may be the catalyst for the bull run starting in Q1 2019. If the ETF decision is deferred on 29 December, I expect a downtrend in January with a potential break of the yearly lows to test the $4800 support (0.236 fib) and the bull market may then only potentially begin in Q2 if there is ETF approval on 29 February 2019, in which case there should be a move back above the prior uptrend support (current resistance) and back inside the yellow channel. In case of ETF approval on 29 February 2019, I expect a strong uptrend back into the yellow channel and a continuation of the uptrend once BTCUSD is holding the channel support. If the Van Eck ETF is rejected on 29 December 2018 or on 29 February 2019 then there may see a sharp drop to the $3000 support at the bottom of the orange channel where BTCUSD should consolidate and slowly rise in the months preceding the next halving event around 20 May 2020. When the first gold ETF was launched in 2003, there was a 300% rise in the price of gold which was already an established asset class. A Bitcoin ETF along with the upcoming 2020 halving should be the catalyst we have all been waiting for and should drive the next bull run to McAfee price prediction levels. Now let's look at the duration and returns of the prior events. The first halving event: Date: 28 November 2012 Duration from Halving Date to next ATH: 364 Days (1 year) Return from Halving Date to next ATH: 9940% Second Halving Event: Date: 9 July 2016 Duration: 525 Days Return from Halving Date to next ATH: 3247% The second halving event's rate of return (from the halving date to the next ATH) works out to be just under 1/3 of that of the first halving event (3247% / 9940 X 100 = 32.665% of the first halving's rate of returns). If we apply the same principle so that the upcoming halving event achieves just under 1/3 of the second halving event's rate of return then there should be a 1060% return from the next halving date until its next ATH (32.665% of 3247% = 1060%). Next Upcoming Halving Event: Date: +- 20 May 2020 Duration: +-560 Days to +-581 Days Return from Halving Date to next ATH: 1060% Price Target: If the Bitcoin downtrend continues and moves towards the bottom of the orange channel support first, then I suspect Bitcoin will have closed above the larger yellow uptrend and for price to be holding support at $8060 on the halving date. Based on a 1060% return, there should be a strong uptrend towards the bottom of the yellow channel for a target of $85430 over 560 days. If Bitcoin moves back inside the yellow channel on news of an ETF approval, then I expect the price to have found support at and closed above $31766 (1.618 fib) by the halving date around 20 May 2020 and for a strong uptrend to continue from there for 580 days to the top of the orange channel resistance (price could even potentially move higher to the yellow channel resistance). Based on a 1060% return, the price target at the top orange channel resistance is expected to be $336720 . I know these targets sound ridiculous but I remember thinking $5k was ridiculous back in 2013 when BTC was still $100. Good luck and happy trading! Previous chart:

Stellar achieves a gldncross! Rches brkout target of fllngwedgeFor those of us who were already holding some xlm the slight fomo above the breakout target that created the current candles bullwick would have been an excellent place to take some profit. Props to anyone who acted quick enough to take advantage of that. We can ee here though that much like XRP, Stellar has also triggered a golden cross on the 1 day chart and shortly thereafter has broken bullishly out of the falling wedge it was in. Now is a good profit taking zone because the target has been met , but for anyone thinking of adding stellar and the long term hodlers of stellar there is more bullish action to come after this current consolidation if probability wins out. The golden cross on the 1 day chart is an extremely bullish sign. I of course always wanna be prepared for the exact opposite outcome should this be a golden cross fakeout. If I was adding to my position here I would wait for an indication it will continue to break upward. If it starts to consolidate into a bull flag I would then wait for the clear break up of the bullflag to add to my position. for now I think I'm gonna trade my previous holdings into BAT and XRP since BAT has been listed on Coinbase and XRP has had a slight consolidation dip that to me is a smart buy zone considering it seems like it will sustain it's golden cross and the bullish news about r# and SBI. I will always try to retain a small foundational amount of stellar though as I believe it will likely serve as xrp's competition with xrp having the verizonesque dominance of the market and stellar being the more affordable less desirable alternative (TMobile).

XRP continues sideways between the 1day 200ma & former trendlineAs I anticipated this former trendline(in red) that once provided very strong support is currently providing significant resistance. Even though we have broken upward from the falling wedge and we still have a ways to climb to reach our breakout target we are currently being stalled sideways by this former trendline meanwhile the 1 day 200ma(in blue) is providing solid support. I think considering that the former trendline now acting as resistance is an ascending trendline that the 200ma should maintain support and we should have room to inch higher with ever new 1 day candle as we continue this sideways movement...we could potentially even stay below this red trendline and still reach our upward break target if we go sideways long enough with the 200ma breaking support. I have a feeling xrp will eventually find a way to break back above this trendline but it may take a few 1 day candles of consolidation first.

XRP continuing up from its breakout from the falling wedgeXRP moving steadily upward finally getting above the 1 day 200ma with a daily candle close and continuing to head towards the breakout target price from the bullish falling wedge breakout. Volume has not been anything exciting so it may continue to climb slowly but will likely get pretty close to hitting the price target if not hitting it exactly or exceeding it. I expect fundamentally for Sibos to bring some bullish news and also the current hubub about the white houses interest in xrp may be helping fuel the fire as well.
