However, if you are willing to put in the work that it takes to learn how to trade for yourself then you have found the right place! Nevertheless please be advised that you can give 10 people a profitable trading strategy and only 1-2 of them will be able to succeed long term. If you fall into the majority that tries and fails then I assume no responsibility for your losses. What you do with your $ is your business, what I do with my $ is my business.

Consensio: P < S MA < bullish L MA < bearish M MA – Price below a bullish L MA can represent a good buying opportunity.

Patterns: Phase 7 hyperwave | Parallel channel inside bear channel
Horizontals: S: $3,561 | R: $3,709 & $4,000
Trendline: Connect end of March 2018 to bounce on Nov 27, 2018. Connect bottom of Feb 5 to bottom of Dec 7th.
Parabolic SAR: $4,052
Futures Curve: Backwardation maintaining > 3.5% spread
BTCUSDSHORTS: Closed below S MA. Watching for it to close below 22,700
Funding Rates: Longs receive 0.0249% | Funding rates from last couple days are very bullish
TD’ Sequential: R4
Ichimoku Cloud: I am amazed by how the price continues to stick to the bottom edge. Barely closed inside today and just close a bullish TK Cross and bullish Kumo Twist
Relative Strength Index: Created new local low
Price Action: 24h: -0.5% | 2w: -4.8% | 1m: +9.1%
Bollinger Bands: Expecting a return the MA after closing below the bottom band. Look at how tight the 3d is squeezing!
Stochastic Oscillator: Entering oversold territory. Recent sell signal on 3d.

Summary: The bearish indicators are declining and the bullish indicators are building.

Most important bullish indicators to me right now:

Support holding strong at $3,500 following the selloff from a few days ago
Price below bullish L MA (can indicate being oversold in a bull trend)
Backwardation in the futures market
Ichimoku Cloud – The best entries can occur when multiple metrics flip simultaneously

Funding indicates shorts being overleveraged despite BTCUSDSHORTS pulling back to an area of support.

Most important bearish indicators to me right now:

We are still in a bear market
Bear channel appears to be taking over as the dominant pattern (not including hyperwave). If the top of the bear trend holds for another week or so then a retest of $3,200 would seem inevitable.
Stochastic sell signal on the 3d.

Over the last few days it appeared to be a much more even fight. Now the bulls appear to be taking over, however I will not be confident a bounce is coming until we close above the top of the bear channel . I plan on waiting to see if that happens before looking to add to my long exposure. Even though there are more bullish indicators the fact that we are still in a bear market could be all that it takes to continue the selloff.

University Student Involvement Supports Australia’s Booming Blockchain Community

University Student Involvement Supports Australia’s Booming Blockchain Community

The blockchain industry is booming in Australia recently after the Australian Tax Office (ATO) announced changes to tax laws in the 2017–2018 budget summary by the Australian government, surrounding how digital currencies are treated in the country. In the few weeks since the announcement, active blockchain communities and events such as RegHack DownUnder have launched across the country, supported by universities and government regulators.

Australia has traditionally held strict tax laws when it comes to how they handle bitcoin and other digital currencies, defining bitcoin as a separate asset class to fiat currency and requiring that transactions involving digital currencies are taxed twice by the Australian Tax Office. The new budget summary removes any general sales tax made more than once in the supply chain using digital currency, in an attempt to “make it easier for new innovative digital currency businesses to operate in Australia” and to grow their nascent community into a global innovation hub.

The summary states, “The Government is committed to establishing Australia as a leading global financial technology (FinTech) hub and is announcing a new package that aims to position our local fintech industry as a world leader.”

This new regulatory environment has spurred growth in the community, from university campuses all the way up to the government regulators. Students have begun to launch clubs at universities across the country, and regulators and business executives have begun to take notice.

“We’re excited blockchain [technology] can finally move to our campus and Australia in a big way. There’s been a significant increase in interest from the community in the past few weeks,“ said Ryan Pousson, the regional head of the Blockchain Education Network (BEN) in Brisbane and the founder of the UQ Blockchain Club, in a statement to bitcoin Magazine. This perspective was echoed by Jared Piper, a region head of the Blockchain Education Network in Melbourne.

Aaron Schwartz, the director of global engagement at BEN and partner at MLG Capital, told bitcoin Magazine, “It’s super exciting to be part of a decentralized organization like BEN that is doing something unique with a swarm-style model. We are quickly spreading to countries all across the world with new chapters opening up across Australia, Colombia, Nigeria and Bangalore, just to name a few. We encourage anyone in a blockchain community around the world to reach out to get started growing their local community.”

On the weekend of May 12–14, government representatives in the energy sector and banking executives in the financial services industry came together to judge RegHack DownUnder. The brightest developers, UI/UX designers and entrepreneurs across Australia were encouraged to spend the weekend in Melbourne to develop blockchain technology solutions to solve some of the problems it faces in these two heavily regulated sectors.

In advance of the hackathon, Adam Lemmon, a blockchain expert from Toronto, flew down to Melbourne to present an overview of Ethereum development and Solidity to the community. Following the event, Lemmon said, “RegHack was an amazing experience and it was inspiring to see such a young blockchain community so excited about the technology.”

Chami Akmeemana, the organizer of RegHack DownUnder, predicts a fast growth in the community. He said to bitcoin Magazine following the event: “It was a mammoth success. Close to 100 participants spent three days exploring tech solutions to regulatory issues. We now have 100+ blockchain enthusiasts, that I expect [will grow] to over 1000+ by the end of the year. I’m hoping to see some world-class blockchain applications coming out of Australia and I’m stoked to be part of this boost to the ecosystem.”

The regulators in Australia are on board too with this digital transformation. Igor Simunovic, a representative from the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), said in a statement following the event that “the event provided opportunity for industry (including government) and freelancers/students/developers to meet, integrate and share through the problem solving required to address the Hackathon ‘problems.’ Such meeting and teamwork opportunities are rare and often bound by the [confines] of conferences or meet-ups. The process of discovering new technologies and frameworks was just a bonus.”

It is still the beginning in the growth trajectory of the blockchain community in Australia, but it is an exciting time to be part of a global movement. For example, in the few months following November’s RegHack TO, the first hackathon hosted by a securities regulator in Canada and inspired by Chami Akmeemana, the number of people attending meetups in Toronto has tripled from 200 to over 700 at the most recent blockchain meetup in Toronto. Getting the entire community on board from universities to business executives to government regulators is an important milestone for any community striving to become a blockchain hub.
