Inflation and the Crazy Crypto Markets 2021 / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
One of the reasons for investing in crypto's is INFLATION i.e. fiat currency is constantly being devalued whilst many crypto's are limited to print run such as Bitcoin. So whilst I have not bought any Bitcoin to date due to not meeting my price targets so far. However, going forward I will be retaining all mined bitcoin regardless of what happens to the price, roughly I mine about $300 worth of bitcoin per month across 2 desktops.

USD Index: Are New Milestones in the Cards? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: P_Radomski_CFA
While the greenback's failed breakout on Nov. 4th may seem bearish, it faced a similar situation in August and October, only to recover and achieve new highs.
After the USD Index’s negative response to the ECB’s monetary policy meeting on Oct. 28, I warned on Oct. 29 that dollar bears were unlikely to celebrate for much longer. I wrote:
Based on the rather random comment during the conference, the traders panicked and bought the EUR/USD, which triggered declines in the USD Index (after all, the EUR/USD is the largest component of the USDX).
Was the breakout to new 2021 lows invalidated? No. The true breakout was above the late-March highs (the August highs also served as a support level, but the March high is more important here) and it wasn’t invalidated.
What was the follow-up action? At the moment of writing these words, the USDX is up and trading at about 93.52, which is just 0.07 below the August high in terms of the closing prices. Consequently, it could easily be the case that the USD Index ends today’s session (and the week) back above this level.

IM Academy Shares How to Get Started in Cryptocurrency Trading / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Ever since the birth of Bitcoin in 2008, the excitement surrounding cryptocurrency has steadily reached a fever pitch. Tech tycoon Elon Musk says Bitcoin is his largest holding, and every time he tweets or talks up another coin, it surges to new heights. Open up social media, and you’ll find young traders spouting off about their fattened-up crypto portfolios. The latest rage is NFT’s, or non-fungible tokens, a digital currency that is unique and not interchangeable. There is always something new and developing in the world of cryptocurrency—after all, there are hundreds of cryptocurrencies in existence—so it’s natural to be curious. But where does one start? IM Academy has the answer. IM Academy, which has taught students worldwide, says that it’s seeing a brand-new influx of students enroll into their program explicitly geared toward digital currencies: DCX Academy.

Crypto-Alert - Will Solana Continue To 'Moon'? / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Submissions
Summary
Ethereum was the first smart contract platform to gain wide use and is still the market leader.
Many competing smart contract platforms have tried to unseat Ethereum from the leadership position by capitalizing on its speed and cost issues.
Solana is a new competitor that is cheap, fast, and that has seen great price appreciation, but will it last?
The Ethereum Revolution
Ethereum (ETH-USD) brought the use of smart contracts to scale. Smart contracts are essentially financial agreements between two or more parties, governed by code. Typically, they form both the agreement and the means to execute the actions specified in the agreement when terms are met.

Investing in Crypto Currencies With Both Eyes WIDE OPEN! / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Firstly, crypto's are VERY HIGH RISK, the crypto bugs constantly talk about how manipulated fiat, stocks and precious metals are hence they seek their financial freedom in decentralised crypto currencies. However in my opinion crypto currencies are probably the most manipulated markets of the lot where huge amounts of coins reside in whale wallets that could be dumped onto the markets at any time. Then there are the inflation rates, crypto coin printing on an epic scale that would even make the Fed's Powell blush where comparatively low prices against all time highs can easily fool unsuspecting crypto investors into buying garbage with masked inflation rates in excess of over 100% that thus can not sustain bull runs to capitalise on until the inflation rates moderate to under 10%, such as that of Filecoin where given the plethora of pump content out there one is hard pressed to determine the true inflation rate that apparently is currently running at 160% against that of say Bitcoin's inflation rate of about 1.6%.

Is Bitcoin a Better Inflation Hedge Than Gold? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: MoneyMetals
Gold and silver markets continue to gather upside momentum as inflation pressures spread throughout the economy.
Metals markets may be starting to reflect broader inflation trends that are manifesting in higher prices for almost everything. These price increases faced by businesses and consumers are showing no signs of letting up, despite the Federal Reserve line that they are “transitory.”
Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones weighed in on the inflation threat during an appearance on CNBC this week.

However, going forward I will be retaining all mined bitcoin regardless of what happens to the price, roughly I mine about $300 worth of bitcoin per month across 2 desktops.
Meanwhile I have limit orders all over the place attempting to capitalise on the crazy crypto markets. For instance recently Litecoin first dropped to to $100 and then spiked to $300. Which triggered me long at $112 and $118, current price is $185. So I am seeking to capitalise on such highly volatility price moves in both directions due to immature trading platforms and low volume i.e. where Litecoin is concerned I have limit orders to buy at $146 and below with limit orders to sell at $280 and above.

Bitcoin $100K or Ethereum $10K—which happens first? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Stephen_McBride
What happens first… bitcoin to $100k or Ethereum to $10k?”That’s one of the many questions I get about crypto.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are far and away the two largest cryptos, worth roughly $1.4 trillion combined.
They’ve skyrocketed in value. If you had invested five hundred bucks into both cryptos five years ago, you’d be sitting on $180,000.
Today, bitcoin is roughly $55,000 per coin. Ethereum trades for around $3,500. My research shows both should continue to rise.
But which will hit their big milestone first?
Will bitcoin hit $100K—which is roughly double from here?

Ravencoin RVN About to EXPLODE to NEW HIGHS! Last Chance to Buy Before it goes to the MOON! / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Ravencoin appears to be on the verge of a major move higher once it breaks above it's 200 day moving average on a closing basis at 0.11 (current price 0.1055). If we are lucky it will break the 100 day lower first before going higher i.e. into 0.065 to 0.078, but at this point that looks like a low probability. RVN looks like its about to go to the MOON! Your last chance to get onboard.

Ailing UK Pound Has Global Effects / Currencies / British Pound
By: Justin_Weinger
Are you among the millions of financial news watchers who wonder what is going on with the British pound (GBP)? If so, you've probably already noticed that one of the big four currencies has been dropping in recent months. Not since the first few weeks after the Brexit deal took effect has the UK's denominated currency been hit so hard. Its most recent value in terms of US dollars (USD) was $1.357, but what's worrying most traders is the GBP's volatility, which also stands are recent highs. There's no question that the pound is taking a pounding, but two questions are uppermost in the minds of forex enthusiasts:
- How will FX markets react to this recent development?
- What kinds of opportunities does the pound's woes offer to foreign exchange traders?

Bitcoin Rockets In Preparation For Liftoff To $100,000 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Submissions
By Jason Appel - In my September article updating expectations and possibilities for Bitcoin to reach $100k, three paths were discussed that detail various perspectives for the near-term in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) on its way to $100k.
In this article, we will review the various paths presented in the September article, and reconcile the present action to find which of the scenarios appears most likely.
From the September article:
Three potential regions to catch price on the coming drop:
Black Count: In this count, we consider the prospect that the lows are in. Pullbacks are buying opportunities. Based on the low and high of the rally structure in question, our first region to watch ranges from approximately $36k-$42k. Should price form a symmetrical 3 wave move from the September 6th high into the aforementioned region and strongly bounce, we will have some additional evidence that the decline is complete and price is on its way to $100k+. Confirmation of this count displayed in black notation will ultimately confirm by price maintaining above $36k and breaking out above the September 6th high. Alternatively, should the price make a sustained break below the $33,600 region, we have a strong signal that lower lows are incoming.
