SNX: Another week, another upgrade!Synthetix Network and Kwenta are still blasting away at upgrades, or as they call them, "SIP's" which is an acronym for Synthetix Improvement Proposal. They also give weird "star" names to their SIP releases (in order of visual magnitude) which is all good, I suppose. What matters is they are in storm mode when it comes to improving and implementing. I love it. Where this may cause some occasional turmoil in usage and possibly hinder immediate price action, I see it as further reason to hold for the long term as I continue to grow my SNX coin/token count weekly at 13.99% APY by simply holding SNX in a Celsius Network account (If you decide to join me in earning high interest there, you can earn $50 in BTC by using my referral code 189218504d). Of course, we will reap the rewards in price action eventually, but on our own timeline. I am conservatively predicting a 300 percent gain over the next 6 to 9 months. And my 13.99% yield will compound in a doubling fashion every 5 years even without any price action increases. Yes, I did the math! Patience pays well!
Anyway, later today the Avior (the "star" name for SIP-182) release will implement a new upgrade on L2 only. During this release there will be no downtime on L1, but up to 3 hours of downtime L2. Here's what’s included in this release:
SIP-182- Wrappr factory: This SIP creates a new WrapperFactory contract that can deploy new Wrapper contracts to support any ERC20 token. The new Wrapper contract behaves like its predecessor (the ETH Wrappr from SIP-112) and will initially include a WETH wrapper, though more Wrapprs will likely be added in the future.
In layman's term, creating "wrapprs" has to do with creating synths or derivatives...potentially on anything tradable in the entire world, like Cryptos, FOREX, Stocks, Commodities, etc. Well, you get the idea; everything. This is the strength and foundational idea of the Synthetix Network (and Kwenta). If you want more info on what I am doing to generate that 13.99% in additional SNX tokens, feel free to ask in a comment.

Kwenta Futures Trading Competition via Synthetix/$50,000+ prizesI posted about this back on the 19th, with little fanfare. So, in an attempt to give it the attention it deserves, here are direct quotes from their blog:
"This competition will act as a demonstration of how perpetual futures trading on Kwenta will feel as we continue to refine the experience and prepare for the main net launch."
"Futures ...are unique in that they are built entirely using decentralized technology with the Synthetix protocol. Traders will benefit from the deepest liquidity...zero downtime during points of volatility...permissionless product...and, eventually, futures for a wide variety of assets outside of the cryptocurrency ecosystem."
"Be eligible to win part of a 50,000 sUSD prize pool and rare NFTs in prizes."
"Prizes:

"The competition will run for 1 week."
"To trade synthetic assets and soon futures, visit Kwenta."
Anyway, there is more info on their blog including how to get started. I hope you have fun and I wish you luck!--Garry
SNX Updates: Two Items todayNote the following quotations are their words, not mine. I am just passing this on to my fellow SNX hodlers to keep you abreast of either delays or progress (I see it as both).
1. "Today (October 19, ~21:00 UTC) the Kaus release will begin, implementing a minor upgrade on both L1 and L2. During this release there will be no downtime on L1 or L2. Here's what’s included in this release: SIP-187 - Fix Partial Synth Updates In Debt Cache: Fixes an issue with partial updates of synths in the debt cache which is causing the cached debt value to not update after minting and burning sUSD. This release is called Kaus , which like all releases is named after a star (in order of visual magnitude)."
2. Also, the Synthetix folks "have been busy building the future of the Synthetix protocol and have launched our decentralized perpetual futures on testnet. All futures will be traded through Kwenta and to celebrate, we've launched a free trading competition for our community with up to $50,000 in prizes. The signup process is easy (you just need a wallet address and a twitter account) You can visit the Registration Page or for more detailed instructions, visit the Kwenta Blog. As a contestant, you will have the first public look at our new perpetual futures trading platform, powered by Synthetix. As the first truly decentralized and composable derivatives protocol, our perpetual futures are optimized by simulated liquidity, which helps ensure you get the best fill across any asset."
So, they have a few irons in the fire, which may actually be retarding price action for the time being, but in my humble opinion, an improved protocol will be a more valuable protocol. - TG-L
SNX Synthetix developing closed wedge, more consolidationSNX Synthetix has a closed wedge formation that formed late sept. Price could come to a head in the coming weeks. Current rez line is 15.80.
SNX Up 14.40% from Base PreliminarySNX has netted me 14.40% gains from a 9.4621 base preliminary I made yesterday, after a series of DCAs I made on the way down (yellow rays), beginning at 10.9048. I expect this swing to keep climbing after a series of tests and retests and minor corrections peaking around the 2.272% Fibonacci level where I'll consider liquidating my position after taking profit at each fib target level on the way up.

SNX-USD Reaching the end of a retracementHey guys!
I'm currently HODLing some SNX that I recently bought due to the vibe I got from the hourly chart of COINBASE:SNXUSD . There's a clear rhythm (up and down seasons) to the Madrid Moving Average Ribbon that would suggest that we're reaching the bottom of the "down" season for SNX that started around 09/16. If history repeats itself, we'll see a $4-$6 jump by Thursday morning. Let me know what you think in the comments!

SNX/USD 1D Breakout PatternIdea
SNX/USD is on the brink of a potential breakout to the topside on the 1D chart @ 14.90. The set up seems to suggest a bullish continuation for SNX/USD up to about 20.00 in the short term.
Price Structure
Top Trendline: 14 Feb ‘21 @ 29.00, 18 May ‘21 @ 25.90
Bottom Trendline: 26 Jun ‘21 @ 5.50, 21 Jul ‘21 @ 7.10, 07 Sep ‘21 @ 9.30
Middle Trendline (Breakout): 11 Jul ‘21 @ 14.95, 21 Aug ‘21 @ 14.50, 15 Sep ‘21 @ 14.90
Conclusion
This is a short term trade idea so take your profits @ 20.00 (do not be greedy). The difference between the middle trendline and bottom trendline is roughly $5.00 so if we tack that on to the potential breakout level of 14.90 we get 19.90. We also had an exponential moving average crossover on the daily (12-26) 13 Sep ‘21. Bitcoin is “golden crossing” which helps the case for our trade. Good luck!
SNX sugar....SNX is another coin that has not pumped in the recently rally, we think the bullishness for the entire crypto space will spread like wild fire and it's only a matter of time it reaches the SNX camp.
BULL CASE
Price may find immediate rally from, blast past it and find consolidation well above the 200MA near the $20 levels.
BEAR CASE
In the event price dumps from here, we think the immediate support at 11.2 will hold and it rallies into the bullish Q4 of 2021.
