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 = M MA < Bullish L MA

Patterns: Phase 7 hyperwave | Bear channel
Horizontals: S: $3,580 | R: $3,673
Trendline: Bear Channel
Parabolic SAR: $3,862
Futures Curve: Backwardation with 3.95% spread
BTCUSDSHORTS: Appears to be finding support at 21,300
Funding Rates: Shorts pay longs 0.0321%
TD’ Sequential: Price flip
Ichimoku Cloud: Bearish kumo twist
Average Directional Index: Still threatening to cross 20.
Price Action: 24h: -0,1% | 2w: -5.4% | 1m: -2.1%
Bollinger Bands: MA at $3,750 which is in confluence with the bottom of the cloud
Stochastic Oscillator: Still creating higher highs and higher lows

Summary: Over the past four days the price has not moved a percent. Even though that is the case we still got some significant changes.

Consensio is almost fully bearish . The only thing left would be for the L MA to flatten / roll down. If we continue to consolidate below it for much longer then that is exactly what will happen.

The Ichimoku Cloud recently had a bearish kumo twist and the Tenkan-Sen is diverging from the Kiju-Sen in a bearish manner. It is fully bearish .

The Stochastic has managed to stay bullish throughout all of that which is interesting.

Yet again the only important indicator that is telling me to be bullish is backwardation and it is important enough for me to expect continued consolidation / a dead cat bounce as long as that is the case. The spread is wide which makes me things we are still a ways from reentering Contango.

Paycent – The Easiest Way to Connect Crypto and Fiat

Holding cryptocurrency is all very well, but these days it hardly seems to be used to pay for anything. Merchant uptake is slower than the momentum needed to reach the mainstream. The merchants still take cash, but transferring between the two is an extra step that we could do without. Paycent may just be the crypto-fiat bridge we are looking for, with a whole host of other benefits too.

[Note: This is a sponsored article.]


What is Paycent?

Paycent is, in essence, a mobile payment system. It functions as a dual e-wallet which can be funded by both cryptocurrencies and fiat within the same app. It also allows conversion from crypto to fiat and vice-versa, in real time and from within the wallet, acting as an internal exchange.

Over a thousand online merchants and counting already accept Paycent as a method of payment. However, the option of having a debit card linked to your wallet opens up 36 million points of sale in over 200 countries. This includes withdrawing local currency from ATMs worldwide.

How is Paycent different?

Paycent already has an established fiat network and is collaborating with mainstream financial institutions and governmental regulators, to both expand this network and push into the world of cryptocurrencies. 

They already have regulatory licenses in UAE and the Philippines, along with approval in principal in Hong Kong and Singapore. Negotiations are also underway to host the Paycent Realtime Exchange in Dubai, with the oversight of the Central Bank of UAE. 

In addition to this, Paycent is in tier 2 talks to acquire a physical banking presence in the Philippines. Paycent would function as the online channel for the bank, providing financial services to the unbanked.

They are also in advanced talks with Egypt and Jordan to develop and host a unified digital payment infrastructure for their banking and government services.

Why should I invest? 

Investors in the ICO starting on November 2nd will receive PYN tokens. Holders of these tokens will receive rewards paid in ETH. These rewards will initially be paid quarterly and are as follows: 

  • 33% of the aggregate exchange rate profit for crypto to fiat and fiat to crypto, converted using the Paycent dual e-wallet.
  • 33% of the total interest profit on microloans to Paycent lenders.

Users of the Paycent Debit Card will also receive an additional 0.1% of each spend in PYN tokens. Investors of 100 or 500 ETH or more are eligible for special debit cards which increase these loyalty rewards to 0.5% and 1% of each spend.

These ‘cash-back’ reward tokens will create a secondary distribution of PYN tokens, creating an open market for PYN, with price support and increase.
