i don't get it. 

How is there any basis in that price action? 

That's what made me laugh in the first place but the first 40 days is a tight fit, god knows why he thought of doing it at all, it must be some weird new cult TA technique that when adopted by the many will become a self fulfilling prophesy (like most of the others), don't forget you saw it here first 😉

Hi all - just a note that we've created a specific bitcoin halving events page which you can see here. This will likely be more for clients who are new to trading bitcoin with IG, or are newly interested in the bitcoin halving event which is likely to take place in May 2020. 

To make sure we've not been left out we have our own BTC log scale showing the cryptocurrency price over the last couple of halving events. ;) Over the next 18 months or so we will be putting out a number of interviews, videos, podcasts, and content pieces which may be more relevant to those on Community. I'll make sure to update you all.

What is the spread on Bitcoin? On my spread betting it’s 50, but looking at the other topic (crypto 10) and from forum replies it’s supposed to be lower. Why is there a discrepancy?

@JamesIG

hey - spread (in the same way as for FX, futures and shares) are variable based on the underlying liquidity and any market volatility. At the moment I can see that BTC is 50, however earlier today it was 38.

Trading channel is too wide to work out accurate support and resistance level- is the bounce short covering? 10000 seems to be critical.

I think there was a lot of short covering as the move lost momentum in the 3 hourly candles after the pump down candle and the bears may try to have another go around here 10280.

People are clinging to hope, Whilst others are fighting to get to the exit. It's stuff like this that makes life exciting 😄 

Need I say any more...10000 level is as important as Back to the Future 1955 time continuum (all roads lead back there!)

This is an interesting log scale (2 weekly) chart published end of Jan 19 on bitcoin price in relation to halving dates. Current 1 week chart below that.

    • The recent controversy surrounding Kucoin executives reignites the debate on the regulation of centralized exchanges. Many argue that without proper oversight, preventing fraud on these platforms becomes exceedingly difficult. While some may resist government intervention, the persistence of fraudulent activities prompts us to question how long we can turn a blind eye. Despite reservations about figures like Gary Gensler, it's crucial to recognize the potential benefits of regulatory bodies like the SEC. The specter of another FTX-like incident looms large, with potential market ramifications given Kucoin's size. The recent sentencing of SBF, the former FTX founder, to 25 years in prison, serves as a stark reminder of the necessity for regulatory action to ensure long-term transparency and accountability. While decentralized exchanges offer an alternative, they are not without their own risks. This underscores the case for comprehensive regulation. However, recent events, such as the Nigerian government's request for user data from Binance, raise legitimate concerns about user privacy and governmental overreach. Can exchanges operate without incident for decades? Can we build a future where users feel genuinely confident and secure in their transactions? These are pressing questions that demand thoughtful consideration as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of crypto exchanges.
    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
