USDTUSD: predicting BTC bottom and next high with Tether?So I had to trade a lot of Tether for USD today...
Tether's pattern is basically a 5-point consolidation pattern (purple) followed by an S-curve dip and and peak (magenta). The dips correspond with BTC crashes in 16 July 2017 and 2 February 2018. The July 2017 point corresponds exactly with the bottom of that BTC crash. The February Tether dip is very close to the alleged February 2018 bottom. Is this an indication that we have actually reached the bottom of this dip? Maybe, so long as this USDT-BTC correspondence holds.
Next notice that the emergence of Tether from the bearish Ichimoku cloud last year occurs on the exact same day as the proceeding All Time High on 1 September 2017. Interesting for us because, if Tether continues along this pattern, we are due to emerge from the bearish cloud on 26 February this month!
Is this a new All Time High??? Or just a failed high? Or just a random coincidence?
Another question: why is cloud at this breakout point so thin! This time the bearish Ichimoku cloud is all but a slither. Why and what does this mean? In general thinness of the cloud means low volatility in the preceding period, which in turn means that the current price action is changing at a very regular pace (not surprising if the BTC rebound is being pumped by whales lol).
Three scenarios:
Breakout : YES! We break out moon big time, everyone gets lambos yeah, so happy, really
Fakeout : HAHAHA lol Tether price drops again and goes under the cloud, because naughty whales are not as clever as they think they are and we just don't have the kind of support to get us there, (because secretly we all know this crypto speculation is a massive Ponzi) and the next All Timer turns out to be a failed high.
Neither : this idea is simply wrong.
Let's see. I'm long anyway.
USDTUSD
TETHER FRAUD PROPPING UP BTC MARKET650 million USDT printed since 14 January.
Coincidentally, that's when BTC started dropping.
People started cashing out to USDT.
USDT value increased.
Uh, oh...USDT needs to be 'stable'...it needs to be 1:1 with actual USD.
Let's print some more USDT to reduce its value.
However, in doing so, Tether is effectively propping up the value of BTC.
Especially as Bitfinex (highest volume BTC/USD exchange) considers USD and USDT to be interchangeable...
Even though USDT is a non-redeemable token!
Pure fraud.
