What The Blockchain And Cryptocurrency Mean To You

Posted on by Wayne Burritt

So, what does the blockchain and cryptocurrency really mean to you? Well, really everything.

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are fundamentally transforming our lives, unlike anything we’ve seen in a long time.

In fact, when you think about that transformation, you’ll put it up there with the other giant shifts in technology. I mean...

The printing press... antibiotics... railroads... steel... automobiles... windows... the internet.

Gold & Silver: The Dollar Shows The Way

Posted on by Aibek Burabayev

The U.S. dollar index (DXY), aka “King,” has a clear structure in its chart as it moves accurately according to the plan posted at the beginning of the month. Most of you supported the idea that the dollar will show another drop.

King Dollar Weekly Chart

The green leg 2 of the pullback traveled 1.618 of the distance of the first green leg up and touched 93.44 at the top. Then, the price quickly reversed down to drop like a rock. The last week’s bar closed at the minimum as selling pressure persisted. I switched to a weekly time frame to show you how accurately the current second leg down repeats the path of the first leg down.

The RSI turned Bearish following the brief roll over the crucial level. It confirms the downward outlook.

This predictability of the dollar dynamics made me reconsider the gold chart below. Continue reading "Gold & Silver: The Dollar Shows The Way" →

When you take your first look at cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, it can make your head swim. I know it did mine. But in this article, we’ll break down cryptocurrencies into bite-sized chunks so you can understand them just as well – or even better -- as the cash in your wallet.

First off, if you didn’t get a chance to do a deep dive into my first article of this three-part series on blockchain and cryptocurrencies, no worries. This article will get you up and running on like a crypto pro in no time. (But do take a spin around that article when you get a sec – it’s a good blockchain primer without all the jargon.)

So, let’s get started!

Cryptocurrency is a type of currency category that you’re most likely comfortable with already: Digital currency. Pretty much without exception, most money these days is digital currency.

After all, when you check your bank balance online, you’re looking at a digital representation of your money. And that’s digital currency.

In fact, you could look at cryptocurrency as a distant cousin of your online bank account, digitally speaking.

But unlike your bank account, cryptocurrencies have some unique and exciting features that make them interesting. Here are two important ones. Continue reading "What Is Cryptocurrency Anyway?" →

Posted on by Aibek Burabayev

A sleepless Bitcoin moves accurately as per the plan posted last week. The majority of you agreed that the $80k target is achievable for the leading coin. Here is an updated chart below where I zoomed in to a 4-hour time frame to share more details with you.

As I said before, Bitcoin's chart structure builds similarly with conventional trading instruments these days. The forecasted correction reached the 50% Fibonacci retracement level in the $55k area. It stopped there as the price bounced up and hit the orange trendline resistance soon. Continue reading "Bitcoin Nears Trigger, AAPL Set To Rally" →
