Ethereum (ETH) Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Price Analysis – Scoping Out a Capitulatory Opportunity

Published

on

Ethereum

Given the indisputable bear cycle that we have witnessed in the crypto complex for essentially the entirety of 2018, and given the relatively sparse options that traders have at hand to take advantage of short side strategies in this asset class, generally speaking, the game that most everyone is playing here has something to do with market timing around a bottom-picking strategy.

Bear markets make bottoms by exhausting a supply of sellers. It’s a process that is about gauging the “lean” of the marketplace across a number of time frames. For both Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), we see this process as potentially nearing that golden inflection point. As such, our goal today is to examine the charts for these two coins with the objective of scenario-building based on years of experience across many different assets given the technical picture often involved in defining major turning points.

Ethereum (ETH)

Price Analysis:

  • High: $445.98
  • Low: $429.00
  • Major Resistance Level: $500
  • Hourly MACD: Steady Downside Momentum

 Ethereum (ETH) continues to evidence the modal character of a downward trending market on multiple time frames. But, over the course of the trend from the early May highs to its present position probing support near the 400 level, we can begin to understand some of the ways in which this market might play out a type of capitulatory purge that may well represent the impetus for a consensus lean necessary to mark out conditions consistent with a cycle low scenario.

The idea here is about constructing a reasonable hypothesis about a broad psychological “give up” point. In other words, what would this market have to do to make current “fast money” longs jump ship and give up?

It may well be that this is exactly what is necessary to exacerbate the downside enough to mark out a capitulatory low that could be highly valuable as an entry point for prospective bulls waiting in the wings.

Based on the image above, we can see a trend line that connects the lows from 2017 during the summer with the lows logged in late March and early April. The simultaneous break below this trend line, that would no doubt also represent a break underneath the critical $400 level, might well force current holders of this coin to capitulate and throw in the towel, thus exacerbating the downside movement to a point beyond its natural inflection level.

If we see such a market event, and if it comes on above-average volume over the course of several days, one should be watching this coin closely for an immediate snapback or rebound that suggests that the overshooting dynamic has blossomed and played out, thus creating the potential for a patiently earned low-risk speculative entry point with a fixed point of risk at the lows of the capitulatory spike.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Price Analysis:

  • High: $706
  • Low: $673.8
  • Major Resistance Level: $1000
  • Hourly MACD: Steady Downside Momentum

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is actually in a very similar technical posture to Ethereum (ETH). In this case, with BCH, the key level to watch is at $600.

Here as well, we see a recent and persistent downward trend from late April and early May that has led to a retest of lows logged right around the end of the first fiscal quarter. To further highlight the similarities, there is an important trend line in play here as well, but this one has already been broken, suggesting this decline is in a more advanced phase.

While the correlations between the two, and between both of these and the larger cryptocurrency complex, are clearly dramatic and profound, the fundamental precepts of technical analysis suggest that that’s no excuse for diligent study of the action on the chart.

We often see dynamics that may be explained away by larger asset class phenomena, but that also contain important nuances. And in the case of these coins, the inherent volatility within their localized patterns is great enough that any edge can produce enormous and even game-changing differences for traders positioning themselves here.

However, with Bitcoin Cash (BCH) – as with Ethereum (ETH) – the trend remains to the downside suggesting the importance of an opportunistic and patient approach. This implies the importance of watching for overly dramatic movement to assign some degree of probability to an opportunity to play countertrend.

In this case, one may be wise to wait for a new all-time lows print on oscillators such as the 14-day RSI, confirming the sense that the extremes of selling represent an aberration from typical statistical assumptions.

XNO Token of Xeno NFT Hub listed on Bithumb Korea Exchange

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
