You're right , and I've just been taking one too many risks with commentary to make the competition more fun. It would have helped though had I done a bit more homework on the stats before I started. !!!!

 

I read about somebody making a comparison with silver - very interesting what you posted. Maybe this month is not just a simple repeat of previous months, and with a lot more at stake.

The addition of the futures market has changed the bitcoin market which can no longer claim to be long only, though may well remain in a long term up trend there is now far greater risk that sellers will step in to take out long stops. The 1 hour chart looks a far more like a 'normal' market and this will make it easier to trade as the broker now has a more balanced book though there must still be many longs who got in early and are hanging on but they must be starting to think in terms of securing some degree of actual profits over book profits. There was a rumour going round on twitter yesterday that a large quantity of bitcoin was moved onto one of the exchanges (being positioned ready to sell). Who knows.

 

Difficult to study up for as there has been nothing quite like it for generations so don't beat yourself up over it. Best bet is to study up on the technicals and let the fundamentals take care of themselves.

I don't know if I read enough, but I believe at least now you can trade faster with Bitcoin through the futures exchange if you want to get rid of your Bitcoins because previously I read somebody complaining it was taking them 12hrs. Imagine the crush if everybody had suddenly wanted to get out at the same time. It would have blacked out the planet !!!!

So this was a natural target area for the bears and they will be watching carefully, ready to bail if price is swamped again by buy orders as has been the case previous.

 

If the bulls can't rally to protect this level it will they who will have to bail and price will continue to drop. Still could go either way.

So a retest is in play at a very important level, using Trading view charts for 15 min and daily charts for longer historical data than IG (MT4) provides. Note the high bear volume during moves on both charts. If the retest holds and the level has turned from support into resistance then the next major level down is as  suggests (in another thread) around 13000. The weekly chart is approaching a full reversal bar.

 

Tomorrow is crucial for the bulls to prove this is just a pullback, otherwise look to 13000.

I put this in   section but include it here as well

 

Market hit retracement level. So I guess we now look for three bar start of higher highs and higher lows. Then one bar which breaks the low again and has a lower high and we've got a fractal start skywards (or not)? On which day will the next weekly bar start? This stuff isn't really my area of expertise, although I did once have the late Professor Mandelbrot take a peek at my work !!!!

Big volume on this down move a sign of bear strength and has completely reversed the rise of two weeks ago, price back down and challenging the recent low again. Redrawing the Fib from further back on a 4 hour chart coincides with chart support zones. If the 13000 zone breaks the next level down is 10980.

"[With IG] ...you don’t need a wallet or additional offline storage device, and account verification               and KYC checks are automatic. You are not buying or selling the underlying Cryptocurrency, but instead speculating on the price movement."

 

Problem is, you can't long... better off buying btc and storing in a hardware wallet.

Yes indeed, but look at that exquisite TA chart action (as this thread has shown) over the last month. Volatile as it is but it is still conforming to predefined basic trendlines, support and resistance and Fibonacci levels time and time again. Practically impossible to actually trade unless via an exchange and even then fraught with difficulties it is chart action heaven that has not been seen for generations and won't be seen again for generations on this scale.

Bitcoin likely to gap down on IG market open 9 pm, BitMEX BTCUSD Futures currently around 13200. GDAX spot currently has Bitcoin at 13210.

 

BTCUSD has been keeping faith with Fib retracement levels from the big move up from 12/11/17 to 17/12/17, particularly 23.6%, 50% and 61.8%.

50% is at 12620. See 4 hour chart at holiday close bottom of page.

Bitcoin gapped on market open and normally the gap would get filled but bitcoin has never behaved normally and so gaps routinely don't get filled for days or weeks after if ever (unfinished auction). Possible retest of the 50% Fib more likely before a retest of the 38.2% level?

We seem to be finding buyers on Medium Levell 400$, looking for 400$ to turn into resistance.         MSFT Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4Hr Chart Microsoft Inc., (MSFT) 4Hr Chart MSFT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis   FUNCTION: Counter Trend MODE: Corrective STRUCTURE: Zigzag POSITION: Wave A.   DIRECTION: Bottom in wave {v}. DETAILS: I can count a clear five wave move into wave A, with alternation between {ii} and {iv}. Looking for a pullback in wave B to then fall back lower.       In this comprehensive Elliott Wave analysis for Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), we provide an in-depth review of the stock’s potential movements based on its current wave patterns, as observed in both the daily and 4-hour charts on April 26, 2024. This analysis aims to assist traders and investors in understanding the underlying market dynamics and planning their strategies accordingly.       * MSFT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* The daily chart of MSFT shows the stock in a corrective phase with a zigzag structure, identified as Intermediate wave (2). Currently, the stock is witnessing a bottom formation in wave A of (2). After observing a significant top in wave (1), MSFT appears to be undergoing a corrective three-wave movement. The price level around $400, which has been attracting buyers, is anticipated to evolve into a resistance level. Traders should monitor this zone closely for potential reversal signals. * MSFT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* Moving into the 4-hour chart, the analysis continues to reflect a counter-trend with a zigzag corrective structure, highlighting the end of Wave A. Here, a clear five-wave movement has been identified, with distinct alternations between waves {ii} and {iv}. The current position, at the bottom of wave {v}, suggests that the stock might experience a short-term pullback in wave B before potentially declining further. This provides a strategic point for traders to look for entry and exit points during the unfolding of wave B.
    • Recently, the Australian S&P/ASX 200 index slightly fell by 0.01%, with this fluctuation mainly influenced by the latest release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. This data not only demonstrates current inflationary pressures but also directly impacts the stock market in the short term. Senior analyst Thomas McGee delves into the impact of these economic indicators on the Australian stock market and discusses the economic logic behind this data and its potential effects on future monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Market Impact of Inflation Data The CPI data for the first quarter released today showed an annual growth rate of 3.6%, surpassing the market expectation of 3.4%. This immediate announcement led to a drop of about 0.5% in the S&P/ASX 200 index, and the market failed to recover these losses by the closing bell. Thomas McGee points out that this rapid response highlights the sensitivity of investors to inflation trends and their immediate impact on the stock market. In addition to the direct reaction of the stock market, the yield of Australian 2-year government bonds also significantly rose by 0.12%, breaking the 4.4% level for the first time since December last year. This change not only reflects the response of the bond market to the CPI data but may also indicate a cautious stance by the RBA regarding rate adjustments in the short term. Forward-looking Analysis of Monetary Policy Following the release of inflation data, the expectation on the market of the first rate cut of RBA has been postponed to after 2025. Thomas McGee emphasizes the importance of this change for investment strategies. He suggests that investors consider how changes in monetary policy will affect market dynamics when making long-term investment decisions, especially in a scenario where rates may remain elevated for an extended period. With inflation data showing higher than expected figures, the market predicts that the RBA may not cut rates in the short term, intensifying expectations of rate hikes. Thomas McGee mentions that this shift in expectations requires investors to reassess their investment portfolios, particularly in terms of fixed-income asset allocation. Furthermore, Thomas McGee notes that although the market may face pressure in the short term, this could also present entry opportunities for investors seeking higher yields. Companies that can maintain cash flow in a high-rate environment may become preferred investment targets. Addressing Challenges and Seizing Opportunities Despite the uncertainties and challenges brought by the current inflation data, Thomas McGee believes that investors can still find stable investment opportunities in this complex environment through thorough market analysis and understanding of future economic policy trends. He encourages investors to maintain flexible investment strategies while closely monitoring changes in economic indicators and central bank policies to effectively address potential market fluctuations and achieve value growth in future investments.
