Bitcoin

No, I didn't get a margin account there. I might have if it allowed us to short it, but I don't see that GDAX allows that, so I stayed away from margin.
 
$3850 this morning. Is this more of the China/north Korea/south Korea stuff? I heard the north was messing with the south's crypto trade

Is this what you eere talking about. I did't see that yesterday.

North Korean hackers targeting bitcoins to fund Kim Jong Un, report says

North Korean hackers are reportedly targeting cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea in an attempt to funnel money to Kim Jong Un’s dictatorship, after a new wave of United Nations sanctions threatens to choke the rogue regime’s cash flow.

It got as low as $3726 this morning, but I didn't touch it there. It's seems to be trying to stabilize so I picked some up at $3924.
 
We'll come back to this post in a few years to see if he was right or wrong...

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says bitcoin is a 'fraud' that will eventually blow up

My Elliott wave eye says that GBTC will fall back down to the previous wave 4 of wave 3 low, which is the low in mid-May around $200. So if it's got that much further to fall I suspect bitcoin will fall along with it.

GBTC - SharpCharts Workbench - StockCharts.com That's one of the prettiest 5-wave up charts I've seen in a long time, very clear, with the wave 1 peak in early January, wave 3 top was in late May or was a "truncated" top in early June, then wave 5 was at the end of August....so down it goes to the 200dma minimum, and will likely overshoot to around $200 I think. Perhaps a Fibonacci 78% drop from the $1065 top is the target, that would be $234. Just my 2 cents.
 
Boy, I hope you're wrong - at least in the short-term. I had my eye on that open gap hoping it would eventually get filled. I had an limit order to buy some at 570 and it got filled just at the close. I also bought some earlier in the day at 626 so... :sick:

Unfortunately there's another gap below.


btc is trying to reverse from the lows of today, but not getting much follow-through.

coins still dropping. ETH is interesting to me now. I may buy soon but I would like to see if support holds around 200. RSI is showing close to 20.

Another day. Another sell-off . Another gap filled... but trying to hold.

Now all the open gaps are on the upside.
 
Are we close enough for a buy? I started to put in a stop limit at 3000 yesterday but didn't. :( We went a little below. If this area holds we could be back to an uptrend.

Looks like a classic reversal day, and anyone willing to sell probably has done so. But now these new buyers could be scared out again if Jamie Dimon is short and opens his mouth again. :ziplip:

Anyway, we're in a new frontier but technical analysis has worked pretty well on bitcoin so far and where it found support last night looks about right.

Thanks for the insight. I bought some btc at 3500. I'm buying small until I can get a good feel for it.

Thanks nnnut for the video and Tom for the chart. D-7's target was hit perfectly and I grabbed some GBTC this morning in both my IRA and trading account at ~$600.

Sold at $4000. I really like the GDAX site and trading was very easy. Looking for another buying opportunity. I didn't make much because of the small trade but at least it was a positive experience.
