ETCETH trade ideas
My guess: most noobs don't what to do with ETHNice support and resistance megaphone coupled with the ETH hype and fud cylces. Also strong VPOC and 61.8% fib retrace of the dump is about 2X from here for those interested in AT LEAST doubling their ETH stash. Blow-off top on ETH could be signal for aggressive entry on this pair.
Regarding fundamentals: If you're not aware yet, ETH is centralized and appeals to banks and business who will probably overrule the mining/staking power and take control of the network consensus algorithm at their will. ETC is founded on what made ETH great: decentralization, immutability, and low startup costs for DApps. Deploying smart contracts on ETH is simply too costly right now in comparison for what are usually mom's garage operations prior to a successful ICO. The human intervention on ETH is no different from the current banking and economic system and their ruler's own personal interest/influence. Yellen's IRA is like the Ethereum Foundation's wallet, same same. If you don't know this stuff, you probably just chased the hype and now don't know where to turn, OR maybe you're in so much profit that you've been reducing risk and your cost basis is negative now. Congratulations either way, now stay smart and watch out for greed. Whoa, that was long..
ETC/ETH Donchian channel breakout developingETC/ETH has bounced back with a vengeance, rapidly approaching the 90 day high (ETH 0.09). At this rate, the price momentum has great chances of pushing ETC past the 90 day high.
Should the 90 day high be breached, I expect the next major resistance would be around the 9 month high (ETH 0.190).
Taking profits close to the 9 month high resistance (ETH 0.175 - 0.200) region may be a good idea.
Exit with a 30 or 14 day trailing stop loss. Perhaps also bail if there are signs of a reversal near ETH 0.09.
Happy trading!

ETC/ETH a small Margin tradeETC bottomed on the ETC/BTC chart, ETC/USD shows uptrend
I think ETC/ETH will bottom out soon and I will take on this long trade with a small Margin position on Kraken with a conditional take profit close +25% of my buy price
Before I take the position I will wait for ETH as it might go up faster then ETC now.
Once I think we have the buy signal I will let you know
ETHETC: Watch these price targets and time targetAs much as I dislike ETC, the chart here shows some levels where price could reverse...as well as the time target expiration for the last rally in this pair. Overall, I am in favor of investing in Vitalik Buterin's project, so, from day 1 I didn't think ETC was a good thing to hold. The chart has proved me right thus far, but at one point, it might become a good 'Ethereum hedge' in case of a top in the rally.
This could coincide with the point when the monthly trend tops in ETHEUR, so it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case.
Just set some alerts here, and stay ready for updates. It might just keep going until the time expires, then we would need to revisit the chart and track progress and update the fundamentals.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
$ETC vs $ETH - Who Will Be Victorious?2017 is setting up to be a great year for Bitcoin and Altcoins!
I pointed out in early Jan 2017 that the 2 big plays of 2017 would be $ZECBTC and $ETCBTC, and that I don't see this happening until somewhere Mid-2017.
More recently, I expressed that ETC has the potential to outperform ETH.

Not taking any position just yet.
Otherwise, consider a long at the bottom of the channel with a small stop loss - quite a straight forward play with a large R/R.
Share your thoughts; what do you think will happen between $ETC & $ETH?
Trade ETH & ETC with up to 33x leverage on BitMEX !
P.S.
A lot of what I'm saying in terms of timelines depend largely on $BTC breaking ATH -1.50% with a parabolic move sometime in June-August. However, in another scenario I could see this happen 2 months earlier. There are various reasons why I say so, but god knows what will happen.
ETCETH possible trend reversal engulfing candle and round numberWe can see here engulfing candle which established resistance for further losses. Engulfing candle alone is not a strong trend reversal signal but with round number (which seems to be much respected by crypto community) could be good point to enter with long position. It is possible that if price go north it will find strong selling pressure around GAP which is located at 0.080000. If the pair will manage to go thru that level it will most likely reach 0.10000. Safe SL would be small bit below shadow of the bearish candle from 17 of March with TP just before GAP.
ETCETH Daily Reversal SetupDaily Chart lining up for a possible reversal as altcoins gain more and more momemtum with bitcoin staggering around $1,000. Expecting a move very soon to provide more insight on the future direction of the trend. Watching for a break above .05 - .08. Watch those fibonacci levels since the market loves to hit those magic levels.
