Btc/usd - falling wedge - further drop inevitable

bitcoin             has been in a continuous downtrend since it broke the support level at 5700 and shows no signs of reversal at all. Furthermore, a falling wedge can be spotted on the 4hour chart that could bring the price towards 3300-3400. In my post, almost 2 months ago I was discounting a possibility of such scenario and for now, it plays pretty well (check the chart below). The bottom is definitely somewhere close, and there are clear signs that big whales are slowly accumulating huge amounts of BTC             from the longer term investors that are panicaly selling the coin.

From the weekly chart on the right we can see that we are currently testing the 200d EMA , which is the only hope that the price would bounce from the current levels, but for me thats the only indicator of the bottom. Everything else being bearish , at least in the short-term perspective. From the VPVR ( Volume Profile Indicator) it can be seen that we are currently at an important resistance zone and a break below the 4200 price handle will easily bring us towards the next level of 3300-3400. The following level serves as an extremely important support zone established on September 2017. I personally expect that around those levels the buying volume will skyrocket and the price will bounce back towards 5k-6k. To add more meaning to this support level , if the rising wedge , which can be seen on the 4h chart plays out, the MPO             (Minimum Price Objective), projected from the base of the pattern lies exactly around that 3300 level. By that time the weekly momentum indicators (both the RSI and Stochastic ) will get to extreme oversold levels which in return will give us a buy signal and hopefully we will see a strong bounce before by the end of this year. But that is just one scenario.

The second scenario that I see is that the price will find a bottom much below the 3k handle. If the triangle will play out (weekly chart) the price drop can accelerate towards 1700-2000 USD. That sounds like a nightmare, but can be quite possible if the big whales will not be satisfied and will not accumulate enough.

Nether-the-less, there is quite a good opportunity for the short-term traders to trade the bear market. A short trade can be opened on the break of the falling wedge targeting 3400 price level. After, a longer-term buy trade can be opened, but personally will be waiting for a bottoming pattern to be formed.

In both cases, I see a bright future for the BTC             and am one of those people who believe that both the technology adoption and the price of some major cryptocurrencies will skyrocket throughout the nest 2-3 years. Taking into account all of the positive developments around BTC             , especially the launch of the ETF in January and the latest regulatory work, will drive the institutional investment adoption, it is quite possible we will see BTC             at 100k soon 🙂

Sandbox for Public Blockchain Projects Launched in China By Wanxiang Group

Sandbox for Public Blockchain Projects Launched in China By Wanxiang Group

On May 12, 2017, Chinese blockchain technology leader Wanxiang Group, a conglomerate with automotive, real estate and financial services holdings, announced the launch of WanCloud, a new blockchain product under its Wanxiang Blockchain Corporation subsidiary in Shanghai.

WanCloud provides an ecosystem for open-source blockchain protocols to be localized and made easily accessible to the Chinese development community and enterprise users. Initial blockchain protocols included in the ecosystem and supported by WanCloud’s infrastructure of developers and consultants are  BlockApps, Factom and Stellar.

Part of Wanxiang’s stated goal is to drive the advancement of China’s blockchain ecosystem of developers, startups and enterprises. Speaking with bitcoin Magazine, WanCloud CTO Haifeng Xi described WanCloud as “not just a technical platform; it’s an open innovation platform. WanCloud is essentially a bridge between [the] global blockchain development community and China. We aim to connect the world to the Chinese developer community, Chinese startups and traditional Chinese businesses.”

WanCloud is unique as an ecosystem in that it allows users to work with open-source blockchains more easily and in one place. Unlike traditional Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) providers that have private networks or build on top of one public chain, WanCloud plans to continually introduce the most useful open-source platforms into the WanCloud ecosystem.

Tom Tao, vice president at Wanxiang Blockchain Corporation and head of WanCloud, told bitcoin Magazine that he hoped to “bring as many fabrics as possible into the Chinese community and to drive interaction and even inter-chain collaboration, improving application level innovation for each participating protocol.”

David Johnston, chairman of Factom, and Jed McCaleb, CEO of Stellar, spoke with bitcoin Magazine about why they chose to be a part of WanCloud and how it aligns with their respective companies’ goals.

“WanCloud platform is acting as a bridge between the advanced tech provided by U.S. entities and the huge market of potential users in China,” said Johnston, “providing them a more transparent and secure use case set in important areas like data management and auditing where Factom has core competencies as a platform.”

Zeen Zhang, CEO of Factom China, added, “This partnership is important for Factom China because it will make it easier for our product to reach and serve the needs of the end users in China. WanCloud is really adding value, helping us localize the platform for enterprise users and the large community of developers in China.”

Fresh off the launch of its global payments platform Lightyear, McCaleb spoke with bitcoin Magazine about WanCloud’s benefits for Stellar’s development.

“Its an exciting development that makes it much easier for people to integrate with Stellar and will enable more experimentation … China is obviously a huge market and almost every partner that we talk to in the world asks us how they can get money either in or out of China.”

Chainbase Accelerator’s New Cohort

In addition to the launch of WanCloud, Wanxiang announced the opening of the second cohort of its Chainbase Accelerator to startups, in coordination with ICOAGE, an Initial Crypto-Token Offering platform based in Shanghai and headed by James Gong, a leading blockchain intellectual and consultant in China and CEO of ChainB. Projects accepted into Chainbase Accelerator will have the opportunity to receive technical support and consulting from WanCloud architects.

Yu Cheng, a partner at Chainbase Accelerator as well as the chief product officer at WanCloud, spoke with bitcoin Magazine about Chainbase Accelerator and said that the first cohort was “made up of experts from traditional industries and they saw blockchain [technology] as a way to solve for problems in their industries. We are looking to bring in businesses whose applications are suited for the distributed nature of blockchain tech.” Cheng has coined the term “distributed commercial value” in China to refer to new capabilities that blockchain tech enables.

WanCloud joins a burgeoning group of blockchain subsidiaries for Wanxiang Group under Wanxiang Blockchain Corporation, including consulting and research interests Wanxiang Blockchain Business Innovation Consulting and Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, as well as Chainbase Accelerator and VC arm Fenbushi Capital.
