For less experienced traders, tutorials and workshops are offered online and throughout Southeast Asia.

    Bitcoin Consolidating Around Key 10k Level

    Bitcoin (BTCUSD) has bounced back above 10k in the past few days after dipping below the psychologically key whole figure level last week.  Although the weekly RSI and Stochastics are turning down from overbought levels, which when combined with the weekly MACD trying to negatively cross seemingly suggest bearish momentum, any further downside this week […]

    Ethereum (ETHUSD) Breaking Daily Chart Upchannel Support

    Ethereum (ETHUSD) is under growing pressure as it enters a new week, and is arguably breaking upchannel support (on the daily chart).  Bulls should not rule out a deeper slide further below daily chart upchannel support (as hinted by the weekly Stochastics turning down from overbought levels).  A deeper reversal will likely find initial support […]

    Ethereum (ETHUSD) Testing Daily Chart Upchannel Support

    Ethereum (ETHUSD) is under pressure as it enters a new week, and currently testing upchannel support (on the daily chart). Bulls should be prepared for a potential break below daily chart upchannel support, where a deeper reversal will likely find initial support at the 38.2% Fib retrace of the May-June bounce.  Note that the two […]

    Bitcoin (BTCUSD) Vulnerable to Deeper Pullback After Sharp Gains

    Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is trying to resume its massive rally but remains vulnerable to a deeper slide this week with the weekly RSI and Stochastics overbought, and the daily MACD hinting at a negative crossover attempt. On the weekly chart, BTCUSD is above former upchannel resistance, with BTCUSD attempting to trade within a larger range defined by […]

    Ripple (XRPUSD) Testing Key 0.50 Level

    Ripple (XRPUSD) is bumping up against ascending triangle resistance (on the daily chart) and the psychologically key 0.5 whole figure level. A break above this multiple resistance zone in the next week or so will likely be quickly followed by a test of the psychologically key 0.75 level. XRPUSD is a prime candidate in the next few […]

    Bitcoin (BTCUSD) Resuming Uptrend and Nearing Key 10k Level

    Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is resuming its uptrend after spending the first 2 weeks of H219 consolidating in the ~7500-8500 range, with BTCUSD bulls now eyeing the next major psychologically key whole figure level of 10k.  Although overbought on the weekly and daily Stochastics, the upsloping weekly MACD suggests any dip this week towards uptrend/ascending wedge support […]

    Ethereum (ETHUSD) Testing Daily Chart Upchannel Support

    Ethereum (ETHUSD) continues consolidating just below the psychologically key 250 level after a torrid H119 bounce.  Significantly, although ETHUSD remains positioned to resume pushing higher later this month, ETHUSD appears to be vulnerable to more profittaking this week as it tests upchannel support (on the weekly chart).  Note that the two breaks below upchannel support […]

    Ripple (XRPUSD/XRPJPY) Readying to Resume Rally

    Ripple (XRPJPY) is edging higher again as it appears to be readying to play catch up to Bitcoin (BTCUSD) which has outperformed XRPJPY in recent months.  XRPJPY will be less bogged down this week by the somewhat overbought conditions slowing BTCUSD’s torrid advance, and has stronger momentum heading into this week. With massive gains on Bitcoin […]
