(STX) Stacks "long running trend"The trend lines on Stacks have not crossed for a long time, about a half a year. Image indicator offers a view of no red line connecting the moving average lines. blue dotted lines representing time on a floating axis to replicate those pesky triangles people draw only these triangles are based on the information inside the chart. I draw the dashed lines previously and have those lines matched up with the indicator.

The Valley of Resistance Theory "VOR Model" #BitcoinPlease see:
For more information and past analysis.
VOR UPDATE:
Day 12 of the Valley of Resistance. It re-tested the mid trendline, as predicted.
3 Days later it tested it again breaking through the resistance. - 22nd March
After breaking through the middle trendline of resistance it tested the 200EMA resistance fell and converted the middle trendline resistance into bullish support. - 23rd march
From the middle trendline it worked its way above the 200EMA resistance, fell, and held support again above the 200EMA. - 24th March
Closing and holding support in the orange triangle is bullish. As you can see, every time it peaked through the middle trendline it was politically motivated and a dump followed as it held no real volume; the "Biden Pump" (Executive Order for crypto regulation) for example (9th march to the 10th march).
Since, it has followed a reasonable uptrend in which it has tested resistance, broke through a few times and is now finally holding support above the middle trendline. This accumulation of support over the past few days/weeks will prove to be strong enough to continue its uptrend.
As I'm bullish on BTC according to this price-action, It's likely we won't see any dumps strong enough to dip below 40k/41k in the near future (assuming the 200EMA confidently holds support one more time) unless geopolitical FUD occurs i.e. Ukraine/Russia/ inflation /IR hikes/national Food shortages etc.
LIGHTNING PROTOCOLThe Lightning Protocol is supposedly a game-changer being built on the BTC blockchain to enhance scalability.
Also, check out the Strike APP by ZAP rolled out in El Salvador, it is by far the easiest and quickest way to purchase BTC and it is a supposedly fee-less, meaning if you purchase $100 of BTC you get $100 worth, not $98.29

Have you heard of the Lightning Protocol?
ps - there isn't that much technical data to go off so take the chart with a grain of salt, if anyone else can find a better chart with more historical data let us know...
XSN: Lightning DEX run by masternodes, 793x to match UNIFrom Stakenet:
"XSN is the first blockchain with Masternodes to ever be Lightning Network ready. This means XSN has instant, virtually feeless, and unlimited transactions per second, making it more valuable than most other cryptocurrencies whose only use-case is speed or scalability. It is also the first, next to Bitcoin and Litecoin, to ever perform Lightning Swaps. "
So, how is this any different from other DEX's/coins using the same buzzwords?
> Masternodes that actually provide value by running the DEX (and more)
> Lightning swaps: once your channel is open, high-frequency trading with fees a fraction of what other DEX's/CEX's charge
> Connext integration enables BTC/ETH crosschain swaps without wrapping/rollups
> Accessing DEX/trading done through XSN's multicurrency light wallet, or on the web-based DEX (Your keys, your coins)
MASTERNODE INCOME: Hosting the DEX
Owning a masternode will make users effectively partial owners of a cutting edge business. In addition to block rewards, MN's will receive orderbook hosting rewards for processing the DEX's transactions.
> Current XSN price: $0.16
> Current Masternode cost: $2,400
When XSN reaches #2 DEX SUSHISWAP's marketcap ($2.07b as of 10/7/21) each XSN Masternode will:
> Be worth $255,765
> Produce $7,500 monthly ($2,500 block / $5,000 orderbook hosting)
> Assuming $250m 24hr DEX volume
When XSN reaches #1 DEX UNI's marketcap ($13.6b as of 10/2/21) each XSN Masternode will:
> Be worth $1,665,000
> Produce $25,500 monthly ($16,000 block / $9,500 orderbook hosting)
> Assuming $890m 24hr DEX volume
XSN is delivering fully decentralized P2P Layer 2 trades. Masternode owners are the exchange owners.
#BTC : Simple Trading SetupQuick #BTC Update:
1. We are clearly uptrending with a strong break of diagonal resistance
2. We are approaching the rejection level of the large Head & Shoulders pattern and if price stays above 49500 we could see a strong push to 55-57k which signifies failure of the previous pattern
3. We are moving upwards in a slanted trading range, while in this structure and not below we can expect an upwards breakout (following the previous trend leads to success usually)
4. Jack Dorsey (CEO of twitter) may be adding BITCOIN payments to the platform, extremely bullish news in my opinion.

What is Sharding? The Politics Behind Crypto and ETH2“One of the biggest problems I’ve found with our project is not the technical problems, it’s problems related with people,” Vitalik Buterin said in a recent interview.
Why the scalability problem isn't easy to solve, and why people's political outlooks will affect the outcomes of the crypto race in the next few years.
$4,850 lowest possible crash price for Bitcoin in 2020What does the community think?
As already mentioned around the twittersphere, it may be more beneficial to observe the floor, absolute low prices by year to understand the sheer strength of Bitcoin's longterm price appreciation.
Annual LOW prices (floors);
2012: $4
2013: $65
2014: $200
2015: $185
2016: $365
2017: $780
2018: $3200
2019: ytd $3300
2020: 4,900 prediction
10K and beyond thenafter
What does this mean? Well, if you buy today at $4,030, and then you sell at the WORST day in 2020, this worst possible return would be a gain of +20%. Unlucky you?
Going beyond low prices, there is BIG opportunity to be buying now, and it doesn't matter much whether you get in at $5,000, or $4,000, or $3,000, because once we are around $35,000usd per bitcoin, you will have a multi-bagger within three years.
What does the community feel?
P.S. Does anyone have tips for a newcomer to get reputation? (I'm finding little documentation on specific steps/examples)
BTC coming to a pressure BOOM! mid this year or earlierSo we just have to look at the chart of the entire market cap...this one above to see what the overall picture is, and it is pretty much the same as the BTC chart but just a save all in one view for those wondering.
Look at the bounce of the 200EMA, with the 50EMA pushing down ontop of it....we are going to at some point come to a head, and someone is going to be the victor; Bulls or Bears?...With all the good news and overall things happening, products launching this year, I'm going to go on a limb and say it will be the tipping point this year we enter the 2019 onward Bull market.
So in saying that, following the current trajectory we can paint a picture around mid year if we tighten right up to stay between these lines, until it erupts out with an all mighty BOOM!...or we do a BOOM before than and start bouncing up and down like a liquid yoyo and play the "who is the best swing trader game".
All in all the picture looks pretty, and the MACD has made 3 very nive looking down bumps over the last year. 3 is the magic number for those wondering, and this means its a go to start imputing cash for the longterm college fund. Lightning network is out and working, and it is simply revolutionary as ppl are showing examples now online transfering money to buy things or pay bills as it clears instantly basically.
The future is here, and welcome to the New World Order, One Currency! . . . planned by the elite or played by the cyber punks, it is great no matter what...Goodnight
BTC pump! BAKKT is in buying action for March releaseHey fellow battlers. Well look at what we have here, a pump... FINALLY!
So why?...There is NO shocking news to make such a thing happen.... the trade action has been dead silent for a long time. But lets think about this, and what we learnt from the past...
In the past year we have had the rug pulled out from us more than once... Later we find out something got delayed or an exchange was hacked, etc. Bottom line there was bad news coming that smart people knew well in advance, which they acted on in advance and left us out to dry as the market got REKT.
This time we have a pump off the potential bottom...not just a move up followed by a rug pull-out... I mean a pump!
The indicators a lining up strong for more action, as they dont look exhausted to make a reversal. Is there something happening we dont know? We need to to think here...DO THE SMART PEOPLE KNOW SOMETHING WHICH THEY ARE ACTING ON?
I have seen some fundamental stuff saying BAKKT may actually make a March launch, and they have TRIPLED in staff in the past month(s)!! Now guys, the smart people act first, the charts are really moving properly, so lets think if this is early bird gets the worm type action. Is BAKKT buying up some BTC stock?...there is not a more perfect time than now when we think about it, and the day has to come at some point...that is 100% for certain, is this it?
If this is a move, expect a sell off at the strong resistance 200 EMA, and a buy back at cheaper prices before we do some wild wave action through 2019!...Lets see how this unfolds on the charts, and if fundamentals come into play. Timing it is perfect.
XLM - Exploding in DecemberStellar (XLM/BTC) is looking incredible right now for the month of December due to both TA and FA. Let's start with the TA first.
Technical Analysis (1D Timeframe):
XLM/BTC has been holding a rising channel since September and looks like it is starting to bounce off of support at 3,600ish sats. Not only that, but RSI has reversed direction and there is a lot more buying momentum than sell-offs, even during these major market crashes. MACD is curling up and looking like it will have a golden cross, pushing some bullish moves within the next few days. Oscillators look like they are going to flip from negative to positive.
Fundamental Analysis:
There are two major projects set to release by 2019, meaning next month. The first is SDEX, a Stellar Decentralized Exchange which claims to offer some of the lowest fees out of its competitors. We saw what happened to BNB as Binance became popular. If this exchange picks up it has the potential to explode. Additionally, Stellar is testing their lightning network in a few days and plan a release in the next few months. This update is said to dramatically increase their scalability and usability.
Two big events coming within the next 30 days and technical indicators looking bullish within the next week. This is a GREAT opportunity that you shouldn't miss on.
My plans for getting into XLM/BTC are as follows:
Entry: 3,600-3,800 sats (some at 3,800 - more at 3,550ish)
Stop Loss: 3,500 sats
Target 1 (Short term): 4,100 sats
Target 2 (Long term): 4,800 sats
LTC/USD - BUY ZONE IN $110-$115 RANGE • Descending triangle formation
• Downward channel easily recognizable.
• HIgher Lows (barely) / Lower Highs (clear)
• Obvious EMA oscillation (repetitive)
• FIB levels/target met every time (78.6% recurrent)
• EW sequence showing signs of last descending impulse wave underway before corrective ABC pattern
• Buy zones: $110-$115 (aggresive) / $115-$130 (conservative)
• Target zone #1 = $160-$175 (conservative) / $175-$200 (aggresive)
• Target zone #2 = $215-$230 (conservative) / $230-$260 (aggresive)

| Litecoin $LTC | Textbook Wyckoff? | 5/7 |twitter.com
#Litecoin still appears to be following Wyckoff's Accumulation method solidly.
(Google the Wyckoff Accumulation and Distributuion if you are unfamiliar)
While the red lines may appear confusing a bit, they reference a chart I made back in the middle of April in the link above.
My main buys have been in the $110-115 range as well as $135-140. Since then I've sold a chunk around at ~$160, rebought around $145, sold chunks at ~$165 & $175.
My current buy zone is around $152-158. Target 1: ~$180. Target 2: ~$190-195.
Bitcoin - A Prophecy of the FutureLightning Network will launch within the next 90 days legit
Leading up to/starting now the narrative will immediately change everywhere around the _blockchain_ itself and how it's important to develop technology as history progresses and evolves.
The implication being one wishes to mitigate interest in the blockchain itself in favour of walled garden, off-chain solutions.
Cliff Notes:
1. Blockchain BAD
2. INSTANT and FEELESS OMG Lightning Network GOOD
3. 1,800x cheaper than Bitcoin Cash!!!!!
Before this happens BTC will be dumped to an extreme.
Bitcoin Cash will have its market annihilated amidst the negative sentiment abounding regarding actually using the blockchain.
Bitcoin Cash will have to survive in the long term and win demand organically.
Price will be driven down with tremendous pressure and dozens of bull traps along the way.
Time will be used to wear you down so that you capitulate your core holdings and lose everything.
Bitcoin has been an ICO for the Lightning Network since late 2016 and every stage of price action has revolved around this plan.
Lightning Network is intended to be the future world's controlled central banking system, and you early adopters and miners are not to be holding a seat of power at the table.

Chart and Resistance Idea for Bitcoin next Month BTCUSDAll the new money is weak money.
And we all now that BTC really needs that cooldown. Old money is going to cash out after that rising wedge which will lead to an H&S. When this is done I would be really happy with BTC touching that old resistance line from the last two corrections. In the best case it would be under 10k. There are many people waiting for that price to buy in and if lightning works I can see a good Recover from the dip.
Buy the dip guys.
DCRUSDDCR has quietly Tagged along with bitcoins parabolic gains After a bullish consolidation period of higher highs and lower lows this bull run lays the path for a clear route upwards chasing up the market capitalization list in my personal opinion providing the following factors are met:
The Pre sale of ASIC Mining rigs to pre order customers do not require a re spin prior to dispatch & Provide to be profitable during the pre mine period
Lightning network support will be progressed in Q1 To provide Means of use for newcomers to cryptocurrency
As a Project DCR Has a good ethos surrounding consensus being given to community users not mining corporations. Also Their interaction with the community is positive and consistent which is Good to follow if you believe in the project. lets hope to see more vendors and exchanges accepting DCR in 2018 and the Bulls favour the Bears In this USD pair. Going Long on this one and buying the Dips, Keeping an eye on the weekly RSI.
Happy Hodling
Hodl those Litecoin's, impulse wave is forming again!Fork's here and forks there, fork those forks. Litecoin aint forking and the "Bitcoin's Silver" concept is truer than ever.
Fundamentals
With Bitcoin getting all the attention on new ATH's being hyped all over, it's easy to forget about it's little bro, Litecoin.
If you delve into the fundamentals though, there is big reason to be excited about Litecoin. In fact, Litecoin is a much smarter investment than Bitcoin at this moment.
When it comes to Bitcoin the big dilemma is scaling. We have the big blockers and we have the lightning project.
The market obviously favors the latter as BTC is valued at much greater numbers than BCH. There is other factors within that equation, but still, I see the lightning way as the winning way.
Now what does that have to do with Litecoin?
Litecoin is Bitcoin's litte bro, it's silver to gold. It has a been incredibly important to the Segwit and lightning project. And when it comes to Atomic Swaps, BTCtoLTC is the example.
The magnitude of Litecoins role in the Core saga is uncertain though, but that's a story for another time and I don't count that as important for the next 2-4 months.
What this really comes down to is that when the Bitcoin Core way of scaling is favoured by the market, it's a good fundamental for it's always helpful little bro.
Should circumstances on this change, and they could do so rapidly, it would be very bad for Bitcoin and not so bad for litecoin (perhaps it would even be a positive).
That's why I am calling Litecoin a smarter investment than Bitcoin at this moment. The reward is bigger, and the risks are less.
I do have problems with Litecoin though, to make that clear, as I am sure many others have aswell.
There is not much being done with it, no one is trying to penetrate the market with it as Dash for example. It's just there, as a test rabbit for Bitcoin.
But overall I like the fundamentals for Litecoin in the short to medium term.
ALSO! Remember that Litecoin is on Coinbase. You know, that exchange that keeps getting massive amount of new signups and a huge percentage of the new stupid money that enters the space.
Technical
About a year ago I posted a trade idea on Litecoin " Let's Segwit this Coinbase addition! ". Bought at 11.70 USD. Sold at 90 USD.
Now that's an incredible return! :)
If we go back on the chart I can see that we completed an impulse wave to get to that 95 USD top. We then had the correction wave and sideways action. Now it looks like we have started another impulse wave and is right in the middle of wave 3!
I think the third wave will be a strong one. I think the crypto market as a whole will see lots of green leading up to CME futures launch, with a big drop a couple days before.
For Litecoin that lines up perfectly with my FIB points at 128 USD. However, there is a good amount of resistance at 105 USD so the third wave might stop there and we would need to complete the fourth wave to advance.
In the event that Litecoin completes third wave at 105 USD I will hold my position until wave 5 target of 149. As fifth waves tend to be as strong or even stronger then third waves in crypto.
However, if third wave goes as strong as I hope and predict I will get out on that wave (125 USD). With that return I probably wont enter the market again for a try at the fifth wave as I don't like that risk/reward ratio.
Numbers
Buy - 86 USD
Sell - 125 USD
Stop Loss - Break of Pitchfork support.
#Litecoin - From The Guy Who Called #Bitcoin Under 2.68Around 7 yrs ago when Bitcoin was under 3 dollar- I told people that I thought it would go 1000+, at the point people thought I was crazy.
What is CRAZY is if ... If you were lucky enough to head my long term thesis on Bitcoin you are doing extremely well.
For example 500 coins at 3 would of been about a $1500 investment, that investment as I write this with Bitcoin being 5600 would now be worth around $3 Mil dollars
Opportunity Knocks Again I feel right now with Litecoin, still under a $100 to be extremely undervalued and in the years to come could mimic the move Bitcoin has made.
Litecoin beats to its own drum and is actually faster then bitcoin transactions but it also shares a valuable reltionship with Bitcoin in compatiability. Bitcoin being the most recognized and first crypto currency bodes well for Litecoin being able to share some of the strides bitcoin created for example with merchant acceptance. With Bitcoin suited more as an asset, Litecoin is better suited because of it speed and low fees to handle every day transactions. People get caught up in these 2 use cases as an asset or as a currency, but the real growth I believe for Litecoin will come from many other use cases.
Not Just A Currency Or An Asset
#Litecoin was the first to implement Segwit which was the first building block to unleashing the Lightning Network #LN
Litecoin (#LTC) has allready begun to test Lightning on the test net and its official launch should be the tigger for a increase in LTC price and would expect a breakout of its past highs in the 98 area. Once LTC breaks the phsychological price barrier of 100, i think it will finally get the price discovery and love it deserves.
With only 84 mil LTC to ever be issued its current price 58.52 gives it a market cap $3,122 Bil with 53,355,557 LTC in circulation
With #LN rolled out and as people discover #Litecoin is technically superior to competitors such as #Ethereum (which has a current market cap of 32 Bil and a supply of 95 Mil and No limit to how many coins can be produced)
With #LN comes a plethera of new use cases for #Litecoin from smart contracts, confidential transactions, to atomic swaps, to a new generation of Litecoin Apps (#LAPPS)
I see no reason why with the release of #LN (lightningnetwork) on Litecoin that it's market cap should not be in the area of 30 -200 Bil + in time
Assume Example all 84 mil LTC in Circulation priced at 1000 would be a 84 bil market cap Now i think once #LN rolls out first on LTC it will eventually be adopted by Bitcoin as i mentioned above compatiability. However I think #LTC network and platform will be better suited to handle many of the apps that rely on the need to process high volumes of transactions with less fees and #Litecoin provides that. As i stated before currently it makes more sense to use #Litecoin because fees are lower the Bitcoin currently.
bit.ly
I believe, we will start to see things start very soon here with #LN on Litecoin first and seem some game changing #Lapps to be rolled out before year end and into 2018
Another Strong reason Im bullish on #Litecoin and #Bitcoin goes back to the compatability, Litecoin and Bitcoin have the strongest communities of users and developers so work that is created could benefit both ecoystems with a few minor tweaks ( Example merchant services, merchants who allready accept bitcoin with a simple tweek can accept Litecoin) (Or Confidential Transactions with #LN on Litecoin can be then implemented on Bitcoin)
In the future some apps might make more sense to be use with Litecoin some might be better suited for Bitcoin we will have to see... I think Litecoin can march to it own drum and I think 2018 people will start to discover how undervalued it currently is. Hence why I think it has the best chance for price appreciation to come close to mimicing the call of when #Bitcoin was under 3
