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.

*Using Weekly Chart*

Consensio: P < M MA < S MA < L MA | S MA made first bullish cross with M MA since July and it appears to have immediately reversed.

Patterns: Phase 7 hyperwave | Bear Channel
Horizontals: $3,500 support being tested | R: $3,592
Trendline: Channel is included on today’s chart
Parabolic SAR: $5,170 and accelerating down rapidly
Futures Curve: Backwardation is only reason I am not short.
BTCUSDSHORTS: Consolidating at support. Will we get higher low or not?
Funding Rates: Longs pay 0.01% | Very surprised that longs are paying shorts after the last couple days.
TD’ Sequential: Bearish price flip
Ichimoku Cloud: Bearish af
Relative Strength Index: Finding resistance at 38.
Average Directional Index: Shows that bear trend has only just begun. Estimate that we are on the 50 yard line.
Volume: Not all too impressed with the volume on the selloff. Would like to see a bar that is closer to the volume we saw on the week of Nov 19.
Price Action: 24h: -2.1% | 2w: -7.9% | 1m: +9.1%
Bollinger Bands: Didn’t even retest MA on this last move. Bottom band = $2,572
Stochastic Oscillator: Made bearish cross < 20 which is as bearish as it gets

Summary: This is a very tricky spot. The daily close below $3,550 support combined with the weekly bearish engulfing is a strong indication to enter short. However the futures market is still in backwardation and I refuse to enter short as long as that is the case.

I got whipped around too many times shorting BTC during $6,000 consolidation and I could have avoided every one of those entries if I used the futures curve as my final confirmation.

That is the most important indicator to me right now and I will be watching it closely. If the market re enters Contango then I intend to start shorting again. I am as confident as could be that we have not seen the bottom yet, however I also thought this would be an ideal area to provide the support needed for a relief rally.

Therefore both sides of the trade are appealing. Great time to sit on my hands and wait for a clearly picture to present itself.

Winklevoss’ Gemini Exchange to Allow CBOE to Use Bitcoin Market Data

The famous cryptocurrency exchange platform, Gemini, agreed to sell its bitcoin market data to the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (CBOE).


Getting into the bitcoin Game

The cryptocurrency exchange, Gemini, was founded in 2016 by the famous Winklevoss twins. In October of that same year, the exchange officially received permission from the New York State Department of Financial Services to operate in 31 states. Gemini’s major focus had originally centered around bitcoin trading, however, with the popularity and value of Ethereum rising exponentially, the exchange added Ethereum trading in May of 2016. Currently, the exchange has a daily transaction volume of $52 million.

An Agreement with the CBOE

Gemini Agreement with the CBOE

According to an official press release, Gemini and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) entered into an agreement to exclusively use Gemini’s bitcoin market data. The details of the agreement state that CBOE will have an exclusive global multi-year license to use the exchange’s market data.

The cryptocurrency exchange’s market data will help the CBOE to create bitcoin derivatives products for listing and trading. Currently, the CBOE is awaiting regulatory approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in order to launch its cash-settled bitcoin futures. The report suggests that cash-settled bitcoin futures will be available for trading on the CBOE Futures Exchange in the fourth quarter of 2017 or early 2018.

Ed Tilly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBOE Holdings

Ed Tilly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBOE Holdings, said:

Gemini has demonstrated time and again its foresight and expertise in this area of finance. The team’s focus and determination to grow the bitcoin market and secure appropriate regulatory oversight as a New Yorktrust company makes them ideal for this venture. We are incredibly proud of this agreement and look forward to all that we can achieve together.

Gemini's Chief Executive Officer of Gemini Tyler Winklevoss

Gemini’s Chief Executive Officer of Gemini Tyler Winklevoss also added:

Gemini’s key concerns in the cryptocurrency ecosystem have always been security, compliance, and regulatory oversight. By working with the team at CBOE, we are helping to make bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies increasingly accessible to both retail and institutional investors.

bitcoin users believe that bitcoin based futures will enable Wall Street traders and investors to get into the bitcoin ‘game’ without affecting their ordinary portfolios.
