Bittrex shuts down, where does the industry go from here?


Recommended Posts

The last one year or so has bared the limitations of the crypto industry; a good number of exchanges have faced difficulties, ending up exiting certain regions, filing for bankruptcy or flat out cease operations. This suggests that the crypto market is still in a flux state, and highly necessarily demands investors to be in the know of the risks involved before investing.

On flat out closure of operations, another one bites the dust—Bittrex Global, once one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the United States, has disclosed that it will be shutting down its operations effective on December 4. 

Albeit a poignant ending for what had been a top exchange in the past, this is not to be mistaken as the end of the crypto industry–one that has proven to be immune to whatever uncertainty thrown at it. The uglier abrupt sunset of FTX is still fresh in several investors’ memory, the crypto industry again demonstrated its robust nature and moved on.

For what has been the fastest growing industry in the past decade and constantly evolving, shake-ups are inevitable. The industry has seen worse days and came atop, this too will pass by.

Let’s hear your thoughts as an affected Bittrex user who’s probably unsure where to switch to. You can also share your thoughts if you’re just keenly observing.

Bittrex Global announced yesterday that, it is winding down its operations,
all trading activity on the platform will cease by 4th December, asked users to withdraw their funds by the date so I believe the best thing now is too look for another exchange with good liquidity, Bitget is my option at the moment.

I really like exchanges like binance and Bitget because of their continuous investment in their ecosystem

Sad news indeed, though unlike FTX, its a relief knowing that Bittrex users can withdraw all their funds. Bitget exchange is reputable for been compliant to regulations thus making it a good choice for users to fall back to.

The 3 Bs has always been my go-to exchange but with Bittrex gone my focus would be more on Bitget considering Binance current situation but wouldn't take them of my radar just yet

I believe Bittrex shutting down might not be unconnected to regulatory compliance. As much as people will argue that it negates from the core principle of decentralization, I believe we can no longer fold our arms and continue tolerating the proliferation of scam and hacks in the industry hence the need for regulatory framework to protect users assets. Thankfully, we have got exchanges who have embraced this new order and that's really comforting and will attract serious-minded users in the coming days.

Good liquidity is one good feature to look for in a reputable CEX tho we should also take cognizance of security as well which I think it's inherent in the mentioned CEX.

    • USD/CAD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart, U.S.Dollar /Canadian Dollar (USD/CAD) Day Chart     USD/CAD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis   FUNCTION:  Counter Trend                                       MODE: Corrective                                     STRUCTURE:blue wave C                                 POSITION:black wave E of triangle                                       DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES:red wave 5                                   DETAILS blue wave B of E completed at 1.37858, now blue wave C is in play  . Wave Cancel invalid level:1.38457   The USD/CAD Elliott Wave Analysis for the Day Chart examines the movement of the U.S. Dollar against the Canadian Dollar using Elliott Wave theory, with a focus on the current corrective pattern and its potential implications for future trends.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Counter Trend," indicating that the overall market movement is currently in a correction phase, suggesting that the broader primary trend may be in the process of reversing or pausing.   ### Mode The mode is described as "Corrective," indicating that the current pattern consists of complex and layered movements typically associated with Elliott Wave's corrective waves. This mode signifies the presence of wave patterns that do not follow straightforward upward or downward trends, often indicating a pause or consolidation in the market.   ### Structure The structure is characterized as a "blue wave C" within a "black wave E of triangle." This structure represents a complex pattern where a triangle formation indicates consolidation and typically leads to a breakout in the final wave, indicating potential directional movement. In this case, the analysis suggests that the market is in the final corrective wave of the triangle.   ### Position The current position in the wave structure is within the "black wave E of triangle," suggesting that the market is approaching the end of a larger consolidation pattern. This position typically leads to a breakout, indicating a potential directional shift once the triangle completes.   ### Direction for the Next Higher Degrees The direction for the next higher degrees is identified as "red wave 5," suggesting that once the current corrective phase within the triangle concludes, the broader trend may resume, leading to an impulsive movement in the market.   ### Details The details section provides specific insights into the ongoing corrective phase. It indicates that "blue wave B of E" completed at 1.37858, suggesting that the second wave of the triangle has finished, leading to the current "blue wave C" in play. The wave cancellation or invalidation level is set at 1.38457, indicating a critical threshold above which the current pattern would be invalidated, suggesting a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave structure.   In summary, the USD/CAD Elliott Wave Analysis for the Day Chart shows a corrective pattern with a triangle structure in the "black wave E," leading to the final "blue wave C" in play. The completion of this wave may signal a broader trend change, leading to the final red wave 5. The Wave Cancel invalid level at 1.38457 indicates a critical level to watch, suggesting the possible invalidation of the current wave structure if exceeded.     USD/CAD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4 Hour Chart,     U.S.Dollar /Canadian Dollar (USD/CAD) 4 Hour Chart     USD/CAD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis   FUNCTION: Counter Trend                                       MODE: impulsive                                       STRUCTURE:red wave 2                                     POSITION:blue wave C                                       DIRECTION NEXT LOWER DEGREES:red wave 3                                   DETAILS red wave 1 of C completed at 1.36031, now red wave 2 is in play . Wave Cancel invalid level:1.38457                             The USD/CAD Elliott Wave Analysis for the 4-Hour Chart offers a technical perspective on the U.S. Dollar against the Canadian Dollar, using Elliott Wave theory to assess the market structure, current positioning, and potential future trends.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Counter Trend," indicating that the broader market movement is currently in a corrective phase, potentially against a larger primary trend. This suggests that the current wave structure is temporary and is part of a broader Elliott Wave cycle.   ### Mode The mode is described as "impulsive," indicating that the current corrective phase consists of clear, directional movements typically associated with an Elliott Wave pattern. This mode suggests strong moves within the corrective phase, often leading toward a key reversal point.   ### Structure The structure is categorized as "red wave 2," which is part of a broader pattern that is expected to reverse the current counter trend. This structure indicates that the correction might include smaller waves within it, showing potential changes in market momentum.   ### Position The position within the structure is "blue wave C," suggesting that the current pattern is in the final stage of a larger correction, typically composed of three sub-waves. The completion of this wave might indicate a potential return to a broader impulsive trend.   ### Direction for the Next Lower Degrees The direction for the next lower degrees is "red wave 3," indicating that once the current corrective phase concludes, the market is expected to resume an upward trajectory as part of the impulsive pattern.   ### Details The details section provides key insights into the current state of the wave pattern. It indicates that "red wave 1 of C" completed at 1.36031, suggesting the end of a sub-wave. The current focus is on "red wave 2," which is in play, potentially nearing its completion. The Wave Cancel invalid level is set at 1.38457, indicating that if the market moves above this level, the current wave structure would be invalidated, requiring a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave pattern.   In summary, the USD/CAD Elliott Wave Analysis for the 4-Hour Chart suggests that the market is currently in a corrective phase ("red wave 2") within a broader impulsive structure ("blue wave C"). The completion of "red wave 1" indicates the start of "red wave 2," which is currently in play. Once completed, the market is expected to move into "red wave 3," suggesting a potential upward trend. The Wave Cancel invalid level of 1.38457 serves as a critical point for confirming the current wave structure.     Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!    
    • ASX: REA GROUP LTD – REA Elliott Elliott Wave Technical Analysis TradingLounge (1D Chart)   Greetings, Our Elliott Wave analysis today updates the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) with REA GROUP LTD – REA. We identified that wave 2-red may have just ended, and wave 3-red could push much higher.   ASX: REA GROUP LTD – REA Elliott Wave Technical Analysis   ASX: REA GROUP LTD – REA 1D Chart (Semilog Scale) Analysis   Function: Major trend (Minor degree, red) Mode: Motive Structure: Impulse Position: Wave (iii)-purple of Wave 3-red Details: The outlook suggests that wave 2-red has recently concluded, and wave 3-red is now unfolding to push higher. It is subdividing into waves (i) and (ii)-purple, which have ended, and wave (iii)-purple is opening up to push higher. Maintaining a price above 172.49 would be a significant advantage for this outlook. Invalidation point: 140.50       ASX: REA GROUP LTD – REA Elliott Wave Technical Analysis TradingLounge (4- Hour Chart)   ASX: REA GROUP LTD – REA Elliott Wave Technical Analysis ASX: REA GROUP LTD – REA 4-Hour Chart Analysis Function: Major trend (Minuette degree, purple) Mode: Motive Structure: Impulse Position: Wave (iii)-purple Details: The shorter-term outlook suggests that wave (ii)-purple has just ended, and wave (iii)-purple may be unfolding to push higher. However, there's some uncertainty regarding whether wave (ii) has truly concluded. Therefore, it would be preferable to see the price continue to push slightly higher to clarify this perspective. Following that, I would need to observe an ABC correction to prepare for finding a trade setup with better entry and stop levels than the current ones. Invalidation point: 172.49       Conclusion:   Our analysis, forecast of contextual trends, and short-term outlook for ASX: REA GROUP LTD – REA aim to provide readers with insights into the current market trends and how to capitalize on them effectively.
