I don't think your contest means what you think it means.
Also, I'm sure your numbers are off.

Yes well that way that online penis below my name will never grow to an impressive four-star size

I'm hurt!

Based on what exactly? Not on the charts.. These are still in between land and water as far as the trend is concerned. Not on the fundamentals either.

Yes, also all of NotLambchop's one coin.

50% fib retrace @ 395 holding like a king:)
(for now.)

Great timing buddy, just when market sells of hundreds of coins are pouring in

Somebody seems serious about defending 405.. Why?

New battle at finex. Seems to be locked between 414 and 405. Stamp should lead the way

There's a war at 414, the 38.2% fib retrace from 315/475, and the bulls might just win

Excellent example of confirmation bias. Your bullish line is weak, little evidence it gives support. The bottoms in this chart could just as well be an inverted dish, which would mean we would be moving sideways for some months and then go down again for another 2 years..

OK:) And indeed, huge. Still not completely calm there..

Is that with or without counting all trades twice?

Then here's some more food..
Read up on patterns and their link to behavior, e.g., here:

Candle sticks themselves are fun too. Read more here on them too! E.g., here:

and

Next step is to actually trade on them instead of only analyse them.. Most people only start to get healthy caution after losing a lot of money because they still match patterns to their emotions. Feeling happy? You'll see that great bullish pattern. Took a bearish position? Confirmation bias will lead you to plenty of bearish patterns and indicators..
(Not sure if I'm there yet. I was born a bull I guess. But a more happy bull when in bitcoins then in oil, that's for sure )

Hi!
Not sure you should do TA on a retrace. What does it mean: where does it give resistance, what trend does it uncover?
Also, I don't see the support in the bottom line. You could try drawing one from that 316 bottom, consider your starting point as a failed downward breakout, and keep the second support in your line. But I think it's weak support, with no volume behind the bottoms.
Have fun!:)

If we break 435/440, sideways is open to change to bullish..
(And like with any TA conclusion, I have to add that if that happens, it can still stay a sideways or bearish channel )

My guess: breakout attempts in a low-volume, volatile market that doesn't fully support the uptrend (yet).
Low volume is the norm, some players are probably liquidating their stash regularly without caring too much for the exact price, and sometimes there's a (good or bad) reason for some actors to put some bigger amount of cash into the market. Also, there's a more healthy amount of money *and* coins waiting to be put in the books when the prices deviate too far from the predictable range (an elastic rope with a length of about 80 usd).
In short: the swings are the result of the thin volume..
So I agree: the recent increase in volume at most exchanges is a good thing. Perhaps now we can expect actual market prices somewhere in the near future..

Note that if money isn't going to gush in again soon, we're falling back into the old down-trend. (And even if that old down-trend is broken, we might get a parallel trend..)
Not trying to be bearish here, just cautious;)

A thing of beauty, much like the bottoms below your post.

Same lines as yesterday, but with new candles and 1d instead of 3d chart (finex/bitwisdom)..
Honestly, I was wondering what the next candles would do, but this was more striking than expected.
Same conclusion: first line of downtrend line is wrecked, which is kind of a fun thing. The other line, which showed significant resistance, has been tested (for the first time actually..) but is still holding. For now?

Thanks, will remember, also updated img
