BKKT partnered with Mastercard to offer crypto based cards Cryptocurrency exchange Bakkt announced a partnership with Mastercard to offer crypto debit and credit cards.
Thanks to Mastercard and Bakkt, businesses and banks will be able to issue their own branded crypto debit and credit cards to consumers who want them.
How big do you think this can be?
Bakkt's also announced a separate deal with Fiserv.
Gavin Michael: “We want to provide consumer choice. We want to be able to provide the availability to use crypto currency in an everyday transaction,”
Is this the start of crypto adoption or what?
Bakkt also partnered with Google to allow its users to purchase goods and services using cryptocurrencies through the Google Pay wallet.
My call ok BKKT in the group was at 11.5usd, 15min after the market opening. Still holding to the moon. :)
3 ATHs in 1 Week - $GOOGL, $TSLA, $AMD $GOOGL, $TSLA, & $AMD all reached ATHs in 1 Week
$GOOGL - Alphabet
Reported Q3 FY21' earnings yesterday & hit an ATH of $2,925.08/share on 10/27/21
Alphabet is up 66.85% YTD
Returns since IPO in Aug 2004 - 1,670%
Decades of dominance by $GOOGL - along with their record-breaking recent Q3 FY21' earnings & updated Q4 FY21' estimates...
I continue to have a long position on $GOOGL in the long-term
$TSLA - Tesla
Reported Q3 FY21' earnings earlier this week with EPS of $1.86/share beating estimates & Revenue of $13.8B missing estimates
Reported an ATH of $1055.58/share on 10/27/21
Tesla up 47.07% TYD
Returns since IPO in June 2010 up 21,621% (yes thats correct - in 10s of thousands)
Reported 241,300 vehicle deliveries up 73.2% YoY
Plans to achieve 50% vehicle annual growth in vehicle deliveries over a multi-year horizon
Not sure my thoughts on $TLSA even as an owner of shares - with the current state of the supply chain, energy & it's rising costs, ESR movement, & clean energy it's hard for me to say "I absolutely LOVE $TSLA" or "Buy it Now!" - However, I do believe EVs are the future and am very long $TSLA for a long-term investment
$AMD - Advanced Micro Devices
Hit an ATH of $128.30/share on 10/25/21
Reported Q3 FY21' earnings earlier this week with EPS of $0.73/share beating estimates & Revenue of $4.31B beating estimates
Revenue of $4.31B +54% YoY
Advanced Micro Devices up +33.33% YTD
Returns since IPO in Oct 1979 - +3,689%
Q4 revenue estimates raised to $4.6B
Very positive outlook overall - including large raises in Q4 earnings estimates, but also a very volatile stock - given its sector, volume in number of shares traded, % almost "meme" stock status, I am long $TSLA for a long-term investment
S&P 500 index Rising wedgeS&P 500 is forming a rising wedge which will be a nasty drop in all markets if it plays out. I will be looking to buy the dip, but im going to wait till I see a proper bottom forming. With covid, all the money printing and the general boom we have seen in the market lately, a correction is due (might even see a flash crash).
This may also affect the crypto market
GOOG sold by ARK InvestOn October 20, ARKQ, part of the Ark invest fund lead be Cathie Wood sold 1,858 shares of GOOG, for a total value of 0.2031 of its portfolio.
Most of the time, when Ark starts a sell, it tends to continue it for multiple days.
Was this the top for Alphabet?
My price target is the 2700usd support.
I`m looking forward to read your opinion about it.
QCOM - First Apple, Now GOOGLEGoogle chose Samsung to partner in the Exynos Extension - the Tensor.
While Exynos has had its detractors over the years, with good reason, the Tensor is an
entirely new beast.
No Taiwanese Manu is required, South Korea is safer.
Another number of Nails in the QOCM coffin.
Google is going to capture large amounts of Market share from everyone - Including the iMob.
The phones are, IMHO, quite nice in appearance and performance.
Integration is the Key.
No other TECH company on the planet can match Google.
They are finally, fully committed to entering the market and their new Flagship... it is a remarkable
piece for Kit @ $899, well below its competitors.
The combination of exceptional Software and Solid, robust hardware, will provide an experience
unlike any other. Mid-Band 5G will rip as T-Mobile finally begins to integrate the Licenses from their
merger with Sprint.
The Pixel 6 is the world's first truly international Smart Phone and seamless carrier switching the
competition lacks and will for a period of time.
QCOM will continue to lose Market Share, their attempt to enter the Smart Phone Market was less
than spectacular.
Our strategy is to build a Put Calendar spread in QCOM from 140 to 150.
We believe QCOM will be moving far lower in Price as Google gains immense Market share with the
introduction of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
I'm watching the Google Pixel Live Stream and am impressed with a very Non-Apple presentation.
Believe this to be a Game Changer with QCOM in the 90s once again - HK
SPX 500 analysisI posted a graph on a higher timeframe before we had a decent drop in all markets:
And I still stand by that, but on the lower timeframe, I see a falling wedge forming. The price action indicates to me that we are going to break up sooner rather than later, so this yellow arrow I have on my chart is somewhat what I expect :)
Google - WeeklyThis one is a slow mover, it has been bullish ever since its listing.
Any pullback I would expect to be sudden and fast.
Overall it makes sense for this to continue going up, no point trying to guess for a reversal.
The last resistance could make for a break and retest to continue going up.
Do you think the "Google Mania" will keep going up? Today we will take a look at GOOGL.
a) Since the bottom of the 2020 pandemic, the price has been on a major rally, gaining more than 150%
b) The basic formations we have been observing are corrective structures ranging from 25 to 40 days before new impulses coming.
c) Currently, we can see a new corrective pattern above the broken ascending channel.
d) If the pattern we have been observing keeps working as in the past, then this should be another situation where a bullish resolution may come.
e) What are our filters? First, the green horizontal line, we will ONLY consider this view as active if the price reaches that level.
f) The invalidation level will be below the current corrective structure. (2600.00)
g) To define targets, we have used Fibo Extensions; we have two levels that can be used as take-profit zones.
h) Based on previous behavior, we can expect a resolution between 100 and 150 days.
Thanks for reading!
Google, 7 OCT - Elliott waves | Gann | Astrology $GOOGAlphabet, as expected, bounced off the 20 week MA (in red), and we closed longs at Gann level 2651. But the count hints at more downside in the mid-term.
Since the ATH, price declined in ABC patterns, so that we can assume a WXY or a complex ABC is unfolding.
If correct, sellers may step in at the 20D MA again. A possible area is the blue box (.618 to .786 Fib).
Ascendant conjuncts natal Jupiter on 9 OCT. The following trading days 11-12 OCT have higher probability for bearish price action. We may watch out for an expansion of volatility again. A short idea could be interesting at that point, however needs further confirmation.

In my analyses I combine Elliott waves, Gann theory, and planetary aspects to identify turning points in the markets & derive high-probability trading ideas. The strategy is to build leveraged exposure when markets are likely to expand, and to use options premium decay for consistent income when markets may contract and range.
