RIOT
Bitcoin approaching $60,000. Getting closer to All-Time High!Bitcoin (BTC) Is getting closer to $60,000 and may eventually break the All-time High. There are a few ways to capitalize on BTC moves.
1. Direct purchase of crypto from crypto exchange like Coinbase
2. Invest in stocks associated with BTC. Examples include NASDAQ:MARA , AMEX:GBTC , NASDAQ:COIN , NASDAQ:RIOT , NASDAQ:MSTR
3. Invest in LEAPS options on the same stocks (powerful strategy)
4. Invest in ETFs associated with BTC. Examples include $ARKN, NASDAQ:IBIT , AMEX:HODL , AMEX:FBTC , AMEX:BITB
5. Invest in Bitcoin futures
Expect all of these to move up as BTC approaches $60,000
Riot Blockchain Achieves Record Revenue of $281 Million in 2023Riot Blockchain ( NASDAQ:RIOT ), a leading Bitcoin mining and data center hosting firm, has reported record-breaking total revenue of $280.7 million for the year 2023. This impressive milestone underscores Riot's resilience and strategic growth initiatives amidst a dynamic cryptocurrency landscape. With a surge in Bitcoin production and a commitment to expanding hash rate capacity, Riot continues to solidify its position as a key player in the Bitcoin mining industry.
Record Revenue and Bitcoin Production:
Riot's total revenue surged by 8% from $259.2 million in 2022 to $280.7 million in 2023, driven primarily by Bitcoin mining revenue, which accounted for $189 million. Despite challenges such as increased expenses and higher power costs, Riot managed to increase its Bitcoin production by 19%, producing a remarkable 6,626 BTC in 2023. This achievement is particularly notable considering Riot's strategic efforts to curtail power usage during peak energy demand periods.
Strategic Expansion Plans and Hash Rate Growth:
In line with its growth trajectory, Riot ( NASDAQ:RIOT ) increased its hash rate capacity by an impressive 28% in 2023, reaching a record 12.4 EH/s by December 31st. Looking ahead, the company aims to bring additional capacity online at its new Corsicana facility in Texas throughout 2024. CEO Jason Les emphasizes Riot's ambitious targets to further expand its hash rate capacity, with aims to reach 28 EH/s by the end of 2024 and ultimately surpass 100 EH/s in the future.
Financial Strength and Balance Sheet Enhancement:
Despite incurring a net loss of $49.5 million in 2023, primarily due to higher expenses, Riot maintains a robust balance sheet with approximately $597 million in cash and 7,362 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $311 million based on year-end Bitcoin prices. The company's prudent financial management and strategic investments position it for sustained growth and resilience in the cryptocurrency market.
RIOT RUNS ON BITCOIN LONGRIOT is shown on a 15 minute chart over the past 7 trading sessions showing 3 trends up
then with intermittent consolidation then a trend dow. The trend down is the most
important. Given the strength shown on the indicator demonstrating bullish divvergence
I believe that RIOT is now set up for a pullback entry long either shares or options at this time.
Let me know if you need trade specifics for either. See my other ideas for BTCUSD, MSTR,
HUT, BITF and the rest. COIN is also worth a look as an earnings play. Buyer note- any of
these could go into short squeeze if a decent upside price action sets things in momentum.
RIOT Buy the Bitcoin Pullback? LONGIOT on the 30 minute chart has pulled back 35% from its end-of-the-year high when Bitcoin made
a bullish move. Bitcoin has settled down and RIOT has followed that trend down. the MACD
lines are above zero while the RSI lines have settled in deep oversold territory. I see this as
a good entry for a long position with at least 50% upside and much money if taking
call options. As to the latter, I would look for a Juen expiration at a strike just below the
POC line of the volume profile which is confluent with the mean long-term VWAP. My goal is
a 500% return. The OTM call options are cheap enough to take several and then take
partial profits each time Bitcoin reaches a pivot high over the interval and maybe pick up
another when a it finds a pivot low.
RIOT: Bull and Bear ideasRIOT has made a V recovery once again, making the bear case almost obsolete. The primary and secondary trendline resistance has been successfully broken and right on the third trendline resistance at the moment. Let's look at bull and bear case and see when to enter the rocket to the moon.
Bull case:
If this is the beginnings of intermediate wave 3, then the current price action is at the start of Minute degree wave 1. We should see a higher high above December high and then a correction. The correction or Minute degree wave 2 cannot break below $8.61. After that we should see the strongest part of the rally which will be a wave 3 of 3 of 3. Ideally, after a higher low is confirmed, entry point would be above the previous higher high. We are looking at triple digit numbers, so it is OK to wait until we see a solid support above $19.
Bear case:
Bear case would still suggest intermediate wave 2 is still in effect. The correction just got a whole lot more complex. The current price action could be part of a B wave triangle where a C wave is still in the books, or it could be part of a larger Y wave that will take things down back to previous lows. At this point these two scenarios cannot be written off. Need to let some more time pass before the bear case can be completely thrown out.
We should see a correction of the current runup in the next week or two. How that plays out will confirm which way is right. Ideally, a higher low and higher high on weekly will provide confidence on bull side.
#RIOT Blockchain 3 levels of resistance to overcomeWhich I think it will slice through!
#Bitcoin miners tend to follow big technical patterns really well.
From the top you can see the massive bear flag that lasted pretty much all of 2021
all whist in the bitcoin bull market and non conforming disappointing price action
the secondary bear flag in 2022 that led to a precipitous drop
and now there is a potential,
if we get strong rally to the $20 area ...
we could form a very large inverse head and shoulders!
Looks promising.
$WGMI - Bitcoin Miners ETF - Printing $ From EnergyNASDAQ:WGMI NASDAQ:MARA NASDAQ:WULF NASDAQ:CLSK NASDAQ:NVDA
So to keep in line with my new “printing money from Solar Energy” series, I came along this gem, an ETF w all of the Bitcoin Miners stocks.
Any financial advisor will tell you an ETF is a great way to trade an entire industry/sector while reducing unsystematic risk, AKA reducing risk associated with one individual company. (I.e, bad corrupt executives, bad accounting practices, bad management, etc.,)
This Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a pool of the following stocks;
1. MARA - Marathon digital
2. CLSK -Cleanspark
3. RIOT - Riot blockchain
4. IREN - Iris Energy
5. NVDA - Nividia
6. WULF - TeraWulf
APLD- Applied Digital
CIFR- Cipher Mining,
..and on and on.
This is a well diversified investment for anyone looking to get exposure to Bitcoin mining stocks while Bitcoin is breaking through its current major resistance levels, and I am SUPER UBER LONG all of them.
HUT - a crypto-mining stock setting up for a long tradeHUT is a volatile small cap in the crypto sector. It has earnings in five weeks and so has plenty of time for a run to the report. On the daily chart, it finds itself in a descending falling more or
less parallel channel and testing the lower support trendline of that channel. The last trend
down took about six weeks. A Fibonacci 50% retracement would take price to 12 while the top
of the channel resistance which is falling would be in the zone of 14. Accordingly, a long trade
could be potentially in the range of 55-100% or so over two months or less. The stop loss set below support at 5.3 would provide for a good reward-to-risk ratio. For those who follow fundamentals and catalysts, HUT has a new CEO who is a turnaround specialist.
Plan- I will watch to see the short time frame RSI in green cross over the 50 level. I will then zoom into a 60-120 minute time frame and look for an entry point with narrow-range candles also going red to green and then take a long trade with those two targets. There are no options for this stock as far as I can tell.
BTC to All Time Highs in 2024??? DISCLAIMER
My thoughts are outlined within the chart itself, and they are just my thoughts and opinions based on the technical analysis that I see. I am in NO WAY a professional in the trading of any crypto currency, so ffs, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! :) :)

RIOT: Choppy action upwards. Brace for impact!The bounce upward this week is looking choppy and corrective, keeping the bearish count alive. If this path continues next week, we should see heavy resistance between $12 and $13. The leg down afterwards should be the last leg on this downside, and we should see the entire crypto market come alive with intense impulsive drive when that is done. Right now, if we see a break above $ 13.75 and a sustained price action above $10, then things might start to look more bullish. Until that happens, shorting the resistance area would be the next play.
RIOT: Bounce incomingRIOT is going through a major rout right now. It has fallen much harder compared to BTC. At this point we should see at least a relief rally for both. Current price action looks like a larger wave C is playing out. However, we cannot completely discount the bullish case. The way to identify would be the pace and strength of the next move. If we see a choppy wave 4 type of price action, then the expected wave 5 to around $7.5 area should play out in the next few weeks. If we see a very sharp reversal the takes price above $13.75, then something else is going on and will need to switch to the bullish count. In either case, a buy signal should present itself in the coming weeks.

So far it appears the ETF news is a sell the news event.
Despite BTC selling off slighlty the decline really wasnt all that bad respectively.
Compared to some of the equity market signals we got in the crypto stocks today. The likes of Coin, Mara, MSTR, WULF, RIOT...all saw some nasty daily reversal signals.
The fact that crypto stocks sold off so greatly its showing the most speculative investors are getting cautious around this Bitcoin resistance level.

A Rocket Called Bitcoin Will Take Off SoonSince the beginning of 2023, the price of Bitcoin has risen significantly relative to other asset classes, demonstrating once again to Wall Street that “digital gold” should not be discounted even despite legal battles with FTX and Binance.
Moreover, in recent weeks, we have seen strong momentum in Bitcoin, bouncing off support with ease even in the face of criticism from US Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is attempting to impose tighter restrictions on many aspects of crypto.
From a technical analysis perspective, we believe that the impulse wave marked on the chart as (3) was completed on December 8, 2023. After which a corrective wave (4) began, which will end in the range of $37,800-$38,200 per BTC, which is a potential opportunity to consider opening a long position ahead of its halving in April 2024.
After the end of the correction, the first stop for digital gold that we highlight is $49,500-$50,000. On a more global scale, we expect its price to reach $110,000 in 2024.
What are we doing?
Considering the significant decline in natural gas prices in recent months and its high reserves in the US and Europe, we believe this will also positively impact the margins of mining companies such as RIOT and HUT8.
We plan to open a long position in RIOT when its price reaches $11.8-$12 per share.
