Maker: at least +10% vs BitcoinMaker DAO’s MKR token is one of the oldest DeFi assets. Like many other crypto assets, it posted stellar gains this year. Yet in BTC terms, it’s still well below its all-time high of 0.18 that was observed in 2019.
After a surge to above 0.08 BTC (a level also last seen in 2019), MKR was heavily sold throughout February.
We’ve asked Hybrid Intelligence the following question to see if MKR has now reached the bottom.
“The cryptocurrency Maker (MKR/BTC) settled at 0.044437 BTC at 07:00 AM UTC at the Binance exchange on Thursday, February 25. Will MKR/BTC trade above 0.048881 BTC (+10.0%) earlier than trading below 0.039993 BTC (-10.0%)? (forecast 51-100% - bull scenario. 0-49% - bear scenario)”
-------------------------------------
Assurance: 71%
This is a bullish signal, suggesting that Maker is more likely to bounce from this level. Of course, it’s also important to watch the overall trend for the whole crypto market (covered in yesterday’s idea).
Makerdao
MAKER, REN - SimilaritiesBoth pairs exhibit horizontal movement following a breakout
Any find displaying this horizontal movement will likely break up to the upside, as demonstrated between these two
MAKER has a sharper rise compared to REN while breaking out
Similar moving average scenarios can be seen aswell
Main point to take away from this post is the potential of horizontal movement to break up to the upside..

$MKR MakerDAO LONG TARGETSMakerDAO (MKR) is in a bullish swing and this is proved true by the higher highs formed on the chart. MKR is on its way to close out the top of this valley it formed in late August.
On this 4h chart we can see MKR trying to regain access inside this wedge as well as the $580 support level.
If MKR continues going upwards and finds these levels of support, the LONG Targets are as follows
TP1 🎯 $599
TP2 🎯 $628
TP3 🎯 $718 (Close out the Top of the Valley)
MKR Community Greenlight Polls
The MakerDAO governance facilitators have placed a governance poll into the voting system which asks whether the following assets should be prioritized for inclusion in the Maker Protocol by the domain teams.
If greenlight votes exceed defer votes, this poll is to be taken as a signal to domain teams that MKR Token Holders have approved further domain work with the aim of adding assets as collateral to the Maker Protocol

The Governance Facilitators have placed the MIP3: Monthly Governance Poll into the voting system. This poll asks whether the bundled contents of this month's Governance Cycle should proceed to an Executive Vote to be held on October 26th, 2020.
In saying all of this, there are obviously intrinsic factors to holding the Maker Protocol, because you get a certain amount of voting power just like a democracy.

MakerDAO, Lightning Labs are in World Economic Forum's list of tech pioneers for 2020
Maker is an ERC20 token that describes itself as “a utility token, governance token, and recapitalization resource of the Maker system.” The purpose of the Maker system is to manage another Ethereum token, the DAI stablecoin, that seeks to trade on exchanges at a value of exactly US$1.00.
One of the most common requests we hear from customers is to be able to buy and sell more cryptocurrencies on Coinbase.Centrifuge has teamed with Paperchain and ConsolFreight to tokenize music streaming royalties and trade invoices, respectively.
The vote, which concluded today, paves the way for these tokens to be used as collateral for minting Dai stablecoins.
Paperchain and ConsolFreight’s tokens would be the first collateral type that isn’t crypto-native. Currently MakerDAO accepts ETH, Basic Attention Tokens, Wrapped Bitcoin and USDC as collateral for Dai loans. The new vote also signaled community support for 0x’s ZRX token, Decentraland’s MANA token, tBTC and Uniswap’s Dai Liquidity Token.
Centrifuge and its partners will now get to work figuring which oracles to use, developing risk models and reviewing smart contract security, Centrifuge CEO Lucas Vogelsang told The Block in an email. He estimated that these steps will take somewhere between a few weeks and a couple of months.Once that work is done, a second, binding vote will be held to determine whether to add the new code to the smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain.Starting today, Coinbase supports Maker ( MKR ) and in the Coinbase Android and iOS apps. Coinbase customers can now buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or store MKR . MKR will be available in all Coinbase- supported regions, with the exception of New York State.A total of six blockchain startups have made it to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) list of technology pioneers for 2020.WEF’s global innovators community and strategic intelligence ecosystem to help industry leaders with fresh perspectives.
decentralized organization MakerDAO, bitcoin Lightning Network’s infrastructure developer Lightning Labs, blockchain analytics firms Elliptic, decentralized oracle network Chainlink, blockchain-based financial services firm Ripio, and blockchain-enabled environmental tech startup Veridium Labs.
The WEF’s 2020 list includes a total of 100 firms from around the world that are pioneering new technologies and innovations, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to the internet of things ( IoT ) and robotics.
The WEF has been recognizing a limited number of tech pioneers every year Who your early token holders are matters a lot
In the mad rush to raise funds via an ICO in the past year, most projects completely ignored the importance of who the token holders are in the early days. Especially in the case of governance tokens that give token holders the right to vote on critical changes to a network on chain, as a founding team you want your token holders to be well-informed contributors rather than speculators looking to make a quick profit without contributing. Even if your token is not a governance token, sophisticated contributors are generally better community members than pure speculators; leading a community of speculators can be distracting at best and devastating at worst.MakerDAO, the organization behind the dollar-pegged stablecoin known as DAI, is in the process of voting on whether to further diversify the collateral it accepts for loans beyond cryptocurrency and tokens to include real-world assets (RWAs).
Specifically, Maker would also allow supply chain invoices and musicians’ future royalty streams as security when it lends out DAI. These assets would be represented on the Ethereum blockchain by non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the innovation that spawned CryptoKitties. Small businesses and artists could take the borrowed DAI, which usually trades 1-for-1 with the U.S. dollar, to crypto exchanges like Coinbase and convert it to cash.
If approved, the proposals would pave the way for the first application of DeFi to solving a tangible business problem outside the rarefied realm of crypto. The current crisis, like the 2008 financial meltdown, has seen big firms apply the brakes across supply chains, to the point where innovative ways of freeing up working capital for suppliers awaiting payment could be a lifesaver.
“The average crypto user that bought bitcoin when it was a few hundred dollars and is using DeFi to trade and manage their wealth is a very different user from a business that is actually quite cash-strapped,” said Lucas Vogelsang, CEO of Centrifuge, a startup focused on bringing real world assets to DeFi.
“These businesses are looking to DeFi as a way to get money quicker and get it on their own terms, without having to go to a bank,” said Vogelsang, whose firm has pilot-tested the financing of freight forward invoices with DeFi loans. “They don’t have crypto to get their DAI loans, so they need to be able to use their invoices or their inventory.”
Holders of MakerDAO’s governance token, MKR , are voting on the proposals. As of Thursday, 96% of votes cast favored inclusion of trade finance assets, with a similar proportion supporting the addition of music royalties. The polls close in about four days.
The MakerDAO ( MKR ) community has locked in an auction to cover a multi-million dollar hole in DAI collateral after the sudden Ethereum (ETH) price crash on March 12. Scheduled for 10:28 AM EST on March 19, the system will auction newly minted MKR in exchange for DAI. The low supply of 1,005,577 MKR which doesn't even factor in potentially lost funds could cause MKR to hit all time highs or break through them with all the volume
YFI- Even its own creator says it has 0 financial valueDeFi boom as well as limited total supply (No pre-mining and supply increases as yield farmers providing liquidity by staking and lending their tokens) contribute to the supply/demand imbalance of YFI governance token, leading to the rapid appreciation.
First of all, it has a comparatively minuscule total supply limited to just 30,000 coins. Second, over 60% of them are currently locked in various staking pools, according to data scientist Alex Svavenik.
Andre Cronje, software engineer who built yearn.finance and created YFI governance token, intended for YFI to be a valueless 0 supply token. "We reiterate, it has 0 financial value” as he wrote in his blog.
However, that didn't stop yield farmer from pumping YFI to the outer stratosphere as it jumped 270% in 5 Days.
Treat it as a speculative coin and short-term swing trade it (No need to hold it for more than a week) on the 1hr time frame.
LEND- Time to cool offMakerDao, Compound and Aave are the three major lending protocols in the DeFi space. I think LEND has run its course and there are better coins to speculate on since it has already gone up more than 35x this year alone.
It may be facing a major pullback soon. Even so, it is never a wise idea to short a high momentum coin until the trend is clearly broken, which hasn't happened for LEND yet.
MKR/USD Breakout Long Inverse Shoulder Head Shoulders Pattern INVERSE SHOULDER HEAD SHOULDER (REVERSAL FORMATION)
The opposite of a head and shoulders chart is the inverse head and shoulders , also called a head and shoulders bottom, is inverted with the head and shoulders top used to predict reversals in downtrends. This pattern is identified when the price action of a security meets the following characteristics: the price falls to a trough and then rises; the price falls below the former trough and then rises again; finally, the price falls again but not as far as the second trough. Once the final trough is made, the price heads upward, toward the resistance found near the top of the previous troughs.
The Limitations Of Head And Shoulders
Like all charting patterns, the ups and downs of the head and shoulders pattern tell a very specific story about the battle being waged between bulls and bears.
The initial peak and subsequent decline represent the waning momentum of the prior bullish trend . Wanting to sustain the upward movement as long as possible, bulls rally to push the price back up past the initial peak to reach a new high (the head). At this point, it is still possible that bulls could reinstate their market dominance and continue the upward trend.
A head and shoulders pattern is a technical indicator with a chart pattern described by three peaks, the outside two are close in height and the middle is highest.

LINK- Multi-time frame and fundamental/Macro analysisDespite Link's fundamental shortcomings, we need to realize that crypto is driven partially by euphoric sentiment and market signal is often times, more important than macro signal, at least in the short run.
While the time of reckless speculation may be gone, we can't overlook the effect that DeFi craze and the resurgence of crypto bull market may have on the speculative behaviors. If you bought Link cheaply, congraztz and enjoy the ride. If you are like me, treat it as a deeply discounted swing buy opportunity like most cannabis stocks, just wait patiently until the price drop to the buy zone in my chart without taking on the excessive amount of risk. For short-term speculators, set the wide stoploss in order to avoid the stoploss hunt for over-leveraged longs and be prepared to take loss when the parabolic run ends and the trend line is broken.
Link is showing some technical weakness at 4hr time frame, but remains strong and trendy on the daily time frame.
Volume reached ATH yesterday and doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
Fundamental and Macro-
1. No clear timeline of Mainnet launch.
2. Unnecessary intermediary and permissioned structure run the risk of being labeled as security token by SEC (Why not just start the centralized oracle?). This argument has been valid for a long time and it is the reason why many investors prefer currency coins (specifically anon coins) and platform tokens over utility tokens.
3. According to Zeus capital, Link's marketcap is way bigger than the decentralized oracle's projected TAM. This can only be justified if TAM is rapidly growing, which isn't true as Link's clients are mostly DeFi platforms, or if LINK can capture nearly 100% of TAM. The latter is impossible as MakerDao, Compound, Uniswap and Coinbase are developing the internal alternatives. Not to mention many centralized lenders such as Genesis and Nexo that indirectly affect Link's value proposition and user case.
Don't forget to follow me and like the post. Much appreciated!

$MKR BTC Trend Analysis Binance’s research department noted a drop in Bitcoin (BTC) trading volume dominance from 40% to 27% in February. On the other hand, Ether price witnessed a 158.6% increase in its total monthly volume. This shows that the interest in altcoins is increasing and the researchers expect an alt season soon.
Maker (MKR) also has just managed to remain in the green in the past seven days. The monthly transaction volume in Feb. made a new high of 4.5 billion Dai compared to the previous high made in November of last year, which was about 2.41 billion Dai, which is a bullish sign. Can this result in an up move? Let’s analyze the chart.
The MKR/USD pair is currently trading just below the center of the $400-$800 range. This range has been in force for more than a year. The bulls purchase the drops to $400 while the bears defend the rallies to about $550 and above it at $800.
Both moving averages are flat and the RSI is also close to the midpoint. This suggests a balance between buyers and sellers. As long as the price remains inside this range, the bulls can buy the dips to strong support levels and sell the rallies to strong overhead resistance levels.
If the bulls can scale the pair above $800, a rally to $1,200 is possible. As the pair has been consolidating for more than a year, a breakout is likely to be strong and can exceed the upside targets. Therefore, the traders can buy after the price closes (UTC time) above $800.
The trend will turn in favor of the bears if the price dips below $400 but we give it a low possibility of occurring.
