IOTAUSD (IOTA) Cycles, Tigers & No Bears, Oh My! IOTAUSD 2018-0419 12:49 a.m. EST. Mansfield Hola trader friends! Looking around cryptoland, it's easy to see that many of the main cryptos were kicked off “Down Channel Road” or thrust out of “Falling Wedge-ville. Ah, but they moved up to greener pastures! If you missed the many easy breakout around cryptoland, I have a pending buy setup, so take a look at IOTA. It’s a favorite of mine because: • It’s completely decentralized and is not mined in a traditional sense. Instead, IOTA utilizes the individual computing power of its user's base phones or computers, not dedicated mining farms, to hash and record transactions. You validate your own transaction once you have validated two other transactions within the network/tangle. • It is virtually infinitely scalable. • It can currently supposedly handle 1000+ transactions per second (TPS). Some say it will eventually provide many more TPS. Ripple can supposedly do 1500/tps but it’s a more or less a centralized technology that is your banker’s potential best friend, not the typical crypto crowd’s favorite structure, even it if can make them greener. Meanwhile, Bitcoin can only do 7/tps, with Ethereum at 300/tps. • ITOA is feeless! Why? Because it relies on a new machine to machine transaction protocol via the IOTA Tangle (think blockchain without traditional blocks) that uses a form of Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG=tangle) technology, that looks like an AI neural net schematic. • Offers offline transaction. So what is the catch? What do you think? We would love to hear your opinions. SITUATION: IOTA exploded upwards from it’s falling wedge-AKA diagonal triangle-and granted cryptoland a captivating 75% move off the low! IOTA looks like it is currently just hours-perhaps 1-2 days before the top of its first wave up (labeled 1, medium blue line). After this quick sideways (now?) to lower correction, there will be an opportunity to reenter the likely new uptrend (even if it is a large retracement of the crash) near the upcoming minor Wave 2 low. This buying opportunity will likely be 3-8 days after the Wave 1 high. If this 1st leg ends up with 5 waves, which seems to be the case, then we will very likely be in a new trend phase up, not just a reactionary bounce. (Also see my EOS charts for the pre-breakout trade and cycle and wave projections.) TRADE IDEA: Consider buying ITOA into the pending Wave 2 pullback. After the W2 low, we should see at least one more wave up, even if this is just a correction of the crash. The up move looks impulsive so far, so we should see two more up waves to around 3.10 (w3 area) and 3.65 (w5 area, a 62% retracement). We could possibly see 4.40 (a 78% retracement). So consider being a tiger on this one. Note, that this 5 wave up sequence will likely be a just a larger Wave 1, meaning more to come if this wave count is correct. CYCLES: Note that the longest cycle (blue) is the dominant cycle, as such, it will typically override the other cycles. The best situations arise when two or more of the cycles are heading in the same direction. Choppy markets occur when cycles are out of phase with each other. I have deleted a longer and medium-term cycle for clarity. And, there are other cycles as well, but I think these are the ones to watch for now. The market popped up right on schedule with the longer-term cycle low! The short-term cycle (pink), medium cycle (green) and the longer-term cycle (blue), are currently moving up together with the two shorter-term cycles topping soon. The current medium-term cycle (green) is topping within 24 hours, while the short-term pink cycle tops 3-5 days later, so be ready. However, because the long-term cycle recently turned up, the Wave 2 correction could be brief or sideways as it has traded recently. DISCLOSURE: This analysis is meant for educational purposes only. You trade at your own risk! Michael Mansfield CIO

PULLBACK DOESN'T MEAN TREND REVERSALGreat evening ladies and gentlemen, so today we got a pretty unexpected & strong pump. This pump invalidated my initial idea of retesting 5.800$ this week. Since then, we had some sort of consolidation, which made us form a bullflag. Target of the afore mentioned bull flag would be around 8.800$, which would correlate with our previous high/resistance during the end of march. Do I think the bear market is over? Definetly not and there are multiple reasons for that. Once you switch to the logscale, we're still clearly within a downtrend and are far away from breaking resistance. History has proven the log scale is the most reliable source when it comes to analyzing BTC. In addition to that, we haven't had a capitulation yet. There's a reason why professionals rely on market cycles. It's because they repeat themselves over and over again, whether you like it or not. Capitulation and despair are signifcant components when it comes to these and we haven't witnessed them yet. Furthermore, a downtrend does NOT exclude short term rallies. Whether we go up or down, there's always some sort of pullback taking place, which is healthy and nothing uncommon. Thus I'm expecting a short term rally within the next few days before the final leg down. Also notice how we had a similar pattern during the 2k13/2k14 bearmarket. Regards & happy trading.

EOSUSD (EOS) Pending Wave 2 low for BUY breakout. ELLIOTT W3/(C)EOSUSD (EOS TOKEN) 12 HOUR BARS, 040518, 6:43 pm, EST. Michael Mansfield, CryptoPlayhouse Pending breakout buy ABOVE the recent Wave(I) high of 7.28, or a bit lower for the more aggressive. 1. Selloff since January, while deep, still looks corrective, with wave highs overlapping wave lows, which by definition is corrective in nature, but there are no guarantees in trading! 2. Recent rally from low of 3.87 on March 8th looks to be a clean 5 wave advance off the low. Thus, a potential new impulse trend may be forming that could be a large Wave 3 advance, or possibly a tradable large wave (C) bounce to 9.85-12.50. 3. Pullback from the March 21 high also looks corrective with swing highs overlapping swing lows. 4. Bullish volume spike up from March 18th low to March 21 high, while volume decline sharply during this pullback. 5. RISKS: We are aware of the possible break below blue dotted pitchfork trend-line. If so, that would be very bearish for EOS. 6. BTC cycle analysis suggest intermediate cycle low is due between April 4-10th. if accurate, it should help push things along. 7. BOTTOM LINE: We are positioning for a Wave 3 advance (or large bounce) due to begin within 12-48 hours, else this pullback is more complex. NOTE: Our long-term Bitcoin, DOW and SP500, multi-cycle analysis posts are pending. You will definitely want to see those, so make sure to follow us! ------------------------------------------------------------- OUR TRADE SETUP. We are looking to: BUY: 1 unit @7.35 stop to open (conservative, more confirmation, but bigger stop loss risk); 1 unit @7.12 (more aggressive), BUY ON STOP TO OPEN, for each unit. (And possibly 1 unit on a 15 minute chart pullback IF and once 6.17 is exceeded to the upside. The two day high is 6.14, so watch that closely.) INITIAL STOP LOSS @ 5.11 for the top two main breakout trades. BREAKEVEN AREA @ 9.75-12, so we'll look to take 1/2 profit at break even area, depending on wave pattern and momentum. TRAILING STOP: Will trail stops below lower pitchfork S1 support line, or @ ATR VOLATILITY SAR (not shown, TMI), OCO exit @ smaller upper fork R1 resistance line, OCO exit @ 18.23 profit target, or at largest fork's upper R1 resistance line @ 21.20 area, depending on pattern and momentum. INDICATORS & VOLUME SHOULD CONFIRM BREAKOUT. Do not be fooled into a trade too early just because of this analysis. We wait for the breakouts. If volume does not move up, we reconsider or bail out. NOTE: TRADE OUTLOOK CANCELED IF 4.66 IS BROKEN TO DOWNSIDE BEFORE ANY UNIT IS FILLED. ----------------------- PAST TRADE PERFORMANCE OR ANALYSIS PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

XRPUSD (RIPPLE) CYCLES/ELLIOTT WAVES/ANDREWS GEOMETRY = UP NOW.XRPUSD (RIPPLE) CYCLES ANDREWS SAY UP 4 NOW. XRP Cryptocurrency token, 12 hour bars, 040918, 5:45 am, EST. Michael Mansfield CIO, CryptoPlayhouse. Hola friends, Ripple has likely found strong price support for at least a 3-7 day bounce and perhaps a strong Elliott Wave trend move up (blue 5 wave sequencing). Alternative count (red ABC corrective waves) would still call for a rally here, but it would be relatively short lived pop or or a drawn out ugly bounce followed by new lows back down to the 0.25-0.20 area. Either way, a new bounce is likely now. 1. Both the short-term and medium-term cycles turned up over the past 24 hours capturing the low timing thus far. 2. StochasticRSI had two higher swing lows, which is bullish, even if in the upper zone now. 3. Volume was consistently declining with the price decline, which bodes well for a nice bounce or more. 4. Up move in December was impulsive (trending), while selloff was corrective, at least the first leg down from the December high until the Feb 6th low. A positive sign as well. 5. Perhaps the two most important items is that XRPUSD stopped right on the lower Andrew’s Pitchfork (thick black line where price bottomed), and exactly when these the cycles said it should have bottomed, which, is not always the case. Best case scenario is a 5 wave advance up to 10.60 area, July 7-12, with the 11th as the center date. The combination of cycles, market geometry and Elliott Waves is the most rational manual way to forecast markets in my decades of experience. Cheers and best wishes, Michael Mansfield

WHAT IF 5.800$ IS NOT THE BOTTOM?Great evening everybody, yesterday I made a recommendation on when to short BTC. Everybody who followed my advice should have made some money. Enough of the self-praise though, let's get to the analysis. By now you should notice that the similiarties between now and 2013/2014 are NOT neglectable. It's pretty obvious that BTC is moving much faster nowadays. What took us 297 Days in 2013/2014 only took us 108 Days this year. The blue arrows illustrate where BTC price is currently moving. The main thing I want to talk about is this 5.800$ Double Bottom everybody is anticipating. To be honest with you, I highly doubt that 5.800$ will be the bottom. In terms of market cycles, we haven't witnessed capitulation yet, which is an important compoment, when it comes to an overall trend reversal. Capitulation usually feels like apocalpyse is happening. Also notice how during the 2k14 drop, BTC fell straight through the previous bottom and gave us a fake bottom around 20% BELOW the previous one, spiked up, and rolled over again to the actual bottom, which was around 150$. Personally, I think we will see the same thing in the near future. From a measured move perspective, we could see some bottoming behaviour at around 4.700$, price shooting upwards BEFORE the actual bottom, which could be around 2.600$. Take it for what it is and make sure to prepare yourself. I'm going to hold my shorts and take partial profits until we've reached 5.000$. Once we've reached that level, I'm watching out for some sort of bottoming behavior in order to take some long positions and close them before the final wave down. Have a nice day & safe trading!

JUST ANTOHER BULLTRAP? Patience is key. There's something interesting to notice. Everytime we're having a BTC bounce towards a LOWER HIGH, people all of a sudden become euphoric & bullish, claiming the bear market is over. There is no reason to be bullish at all. Old supports are turned into new resistances. Right now, BTC is doing nothing but confirming a new resistance around 7.400$ - 7.500$, which used to be a key support level. Elliot Wave count indicates that we are moving within WAVE 5, heading towards 5.500$. Why 5.500$? Because it has been confirmed multiple times as a key support level. In addition to that, we got a bearish divergence on the 4H Chart, nothing happy about that. Voulume is decreasing. I'm using the current bounce to add new short positions. Have a nice day & happy trading!

DOUBLE BOTTOM BEFORE CAPITULATION?! I love to boil things down to an essence. Everytime BTC broke through one of the white support lines, it took an average of 6-7 days to achieve a new spike low. Thus I expect BTC to retest 5.8k$ in the course of the next week, forming a double bottom. Stoch RSI is moving within the oversold range, so a bounce from there is not to be excluded. Anyways, I don't expect 5,8K$ to be the bottom everyone is talking about. During the 2k13/2k14 drop, we witnessed an overall retracement of around 85%, which in this case ,would bring us to the 2-3k range. Thus we might bounce from 5.800$, attempting to break through the longterm resistance formed since December, failing, and have a capitulation taking place. When it comes to trading and investing, market cycles matter big time. They are not to be neglected, because they always repeat themselves, whether you like it or not. Greed and optimism is always followed by fear, depression and capitulation. Same goes the other way round. As a good investor, you want to become greedy when everyone is being fearful. You want to be fearful, take partial profits, when everyone becomes greedy. For the majority of people, capitulation is related with huge losses. For the smart investor, it is related with maximal financial oppotunity, because capitulation is where a new, positive, market cycle begins. fifthperson.com Have a great day!

Buy Ethereum In between April and JuneBitcoin dominance is coming back. In the past 3 months we have seen bitcoin take back 10% of the cryptocurrency market. That money put into bitcoin is not being brought in from outside the market, but instead being stripped away from alt coins. In my opinion ETH is a project worthy of many more billions to come, but today is no time to be buying ETH simply because of market cycles. If you take a look at the bitcoin dominance graph on coin market cap you will see that bitcoin is regaining traction. I believe bitcoin will double top at around 50-60% dominance, then alt coins will rally. ETH being one of them. From a technical standpoint, ETH looks like its correction is not over. ETH has crossed both the 50 day and 100 day moving averages and is about to cross the 200 day. There were no signs of support at the 0.5 Fibonacci level, and I believe there is a small chance of ETH finding support on the 0.236 Fibonacci line. This is a rapid fall. I believe ETH will have a double bottom in price at around 25,000 Satoshi. And around the time ETH double bottoms, Alts will have another rally and ETH will rise from the dead. I don't know my exact target sell price yet, to determine that i will have to see what the bitcoin dominance looks like in a few months. I will keep you updated. I think ETH can be a very good trade if the stars align, so start saving up, and get ready to buy in at 25,00 Satoshi. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Colm
