The crypto pundits say: “bearish/bullish/neutral/”.
It’s hard to find three recent published technical analyses on Stellar Lumens $XLM. The lower the marketcap the less chance of finding something useful. Today’s experts include a brief @coinspeaker analysis, investing.com’s automated (daily) analysis, and a “Stellar Lumen (XLM) price analysis” from xbt.net which is a third and recent source – but no price forecast nor opinion.
On the Binance one day chart $XLM/USDT has been trending down for the last six days. We saw a huge dip on October 10 2018, with partial recovery through to October 17 2018. From there on in its a gradual slide downward. $XLM peaked recently at $00.30462 on September 22. It’s also seen a September 09 low of just eighteen cents.
The four hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) is undersold and sitting at 40.87. The MACD (Binance default) has been in the green for six days on the daily chart but the upwards pressure is nominal.
bitcoin is at $6551.07 on Bitfinex – and it could be a more of an influence than any apparent intrinsic $XLM trading characteristic.
Just one news report can invalidate a technical analysis.

As a decentralized, incentive-based social networking protocol, TTC Protocol provides a one-step solution for integrating blockchain technology with a stable, vibrant ecosystem that provides value to all participants including developers, users, and third-party advertisers.
Through new partnerships with the following platforms, TTC Protocol is adding 7.5m users to its existing user base:
Pikicast – A Popular Content Platform for Millennials in South Korea

Each month, over 300k cryptocurrency enthusiasts visit Cobak to discuss blockchain-related topics including the latest blockchain news, trends, and market prices. Cobak also provides a live quiz show as a unique marketing service for blockchain projects.
Why Focus on Korea?
TTC Protocol believes that the partnership with key Korean social platforms is a perfect real-life sandbox environment to test-launch its first local ecosystem for the following reasons:
Quick Tech Adoption: More than half the population of Korea resides within a 100 km radius of Seoul, its capital, and the majority are highly educated (>~70% attended university). It is one of the most-wired countries in the world with some of the fastest Internet available. Korea has a unique setting where information and trends can spread more quickly than other parts of the world.
Wide User Coverage: 7.5m users is a significant number by itself, yet what is more impressive is that there are only about 15m millennials (aged 14 to 36) in Korea. With these new partnerships, TTC Protocol will quickly penetrate a majority of the Korean millennial market, creating a powerful network effect.
Digital Currency Friendly: Korea was one of the first countries to begin purchasing digital assets with fiat currency. In early 2000, a Korean citizen reportedly paid over 25k USD for a digital sword in a popular MMORPG. This trend continues today; one recent study claims that 40% of white-collar Korean workers own or have owned one or more cryptocurrencies.
Brian Cheong, President and Founder of TTC Protocol, said,
“this dAPP partnership with four, number-one vertical social platforms in Korea is only the first step for the mass adoption of blockchain.”
He added that,
“considering that top Ethereum dAPPs have around one-thousand daily active users, we are very excited to see millions of users being migrated onto blockchain; TTC Protocol will lead the mass user adoption movement.”
TTC Protocol recently launched their “Merapi” Testnet which is currently undergoing penetration and security testing. In the following months, the four new dAPP partners will be integrated with the TTC SDK to simulate and test the TTC Reward Engine (TReE) before going live to the public in Q1 2019.
plans to expand its partnerships to other regions such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

During a press conference held today at the Le Meridien Hotel, David Pan announced the official launch of ABA (Asia Blockchain Accelerator), in partnership with ACE, a Fiat-to-Crypto exchange, supported by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs.
ABA focuses on helping leading companies and enterprises with existing, thriving businesses to use blockchain and tokens to amplify their businesses. ABA Together with its 30 plus partners from Taiwan and global regions, will provide domestic & international blockchain entrepreneurs a wide range of support such as blockchain business integration, tokenization strategies, global resources in both crypto and non crypto space.
ABA is the first blockchain accelerator to receive an official subsidy from the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration within the Ministry of Economic Affair. ABA’s CEO David Pan, was previously a partner at KPMG Taiwan, responsible for KPMG’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship practice.
ABA has already started to pave the way for Taiwanese-based companies to go global, unveiling Poseidon Network as one of the first companies being accelerated.
Founded by Light Lin, serial entrepreneur and previous founder of Taiwan’s largest blog platform ,“WRETCH”, Poseidon Network is now the world’s largest decentralized content delivery content in operation, providing over 400 Terabytes of bandwidth per month, unlike many well known blockchain storage projects that have yet still yet to deliver.
David Pan, CEO of ABA, said:
“Blockchain has the unmatched potential to amplify many aspects of how traditional businesses and economies work, bring value to enterprises and consumers alike. Our goal is to build a comprehensive ecosystem that maximizes the real business potential of blockchain technology. ABA will provide a wide range of assistance to Taiwanese & foreign companies deploying blockchain, with goal of creating real economic value through blockchain.”
Light Lin, Founder of Poseidon Network, said:
“As a technologist and entrepreneur, I am fascinated by blockchain’s capability to unlock much of the world’s resources that are not being used effectively. Poseidon has two goals, one is to galvanize the vast amount of storage space around the world that sit idle, and second, show the world that Taiwan has the technical depth and implementation capability to create world leading companies. ABA has been involved in many aspects of Poseidon, from product positioning, business direction, execution roadmap design, token economics, and global marketing. I look to ABA’s further help in bringing Poseidon to become a truly world leader in decentralized storage.”
A representative from Taiwanese Government SMEA, MOEA, remarked:
“ABA maintains outstanding global resources and blockchain experience, we believe that these capabilities provide a very valuable launchpad for companies in Taiwan to go international via blockchain. We are pleased to support ABA and looking forward to ABA’s results.”
LongHash, the largest blockchain incubator in Asia, is also ABA’s strategic partner. Emily Parker, LongHash Co-Founder, attended the press conference and gave a brief introduction of LongHash’s successful incubator program. Emily also shared an example of incubated analytics company LongHash Data that is delivering data backed insights for public to understand the blockchain world.
ABA is working in cooperation with thirty plus global partners, building a strong mentorship and resource network. Some of these partners include KPMG Taiwan, (one of the fastest-selling ICO’s in history), Wise Team (one of the most well-known law firms in Taiwan), Uplive (one of the leading global live-streaming platforms), leading Korean blockchain practitioners such as BlockCrafter, etc. With their, ABA is on the path to make Taiwan the global center of the blockchain industry.

We built the Blockchain Wallet because we’re driven by a relentless passion for making crypto easy to use. We want everyone to be able to use it, not just invest in it.
We believe that owning and controlling your own private key is the single most important aspect of using crypto. Without a private key, you aren’t using crypto – you’re just speculating and you’re missing the defining part of crypto: user controlled, sovereign money.
It was enabling that exact need that underpinned the development of the Blockchain Wallet six years ago. The mission? Make it easy for every user to have their own private key, to get users away from storing funds at exchanges and “bitcoin banks”, and to enable everyone to be their own bank.
Fast forward six years and we’ve achieved a few things that we’re proud of:
Building the first cross-platform, non-custodial, and cross-chain wallet
Signing up 30 million wallets in 140 countries globally
Powering over $200 billion in consumer transaction volume and over 80 million consumer crypto transactions in the last two years alone
Championing the cause of financial sovereignty and user-control with regulators around the world. (We’ve spent thousands of hours and millions on education and outreach.)
Helping our users store millions of BTC, BCH & ETH coins and generate over a quarter of bitcoin network traffic alone
Most importantly, it’s been a honor and privilege to be the first place tens of millions of people turn in order to actually use crypto and hold their own keys.
But there’s a lot still to do.
At the end of the last bull run, we did a serious self-assessment and asked ourselves, what do users need that we aren’t delivering today? We identified four common requests and frustrations:
Better, faster ways for new users get their first crypto and make their first transaction
More storage types, like hardware, as users’ balances increased
More assets as users want to store and use an increasingly diverse asset set
Better, more reliable sources of liquidity as trading and investing across assets continues to increase
Satisfying these demands meant building a huge extension of our platform, at scale. We’ve had our heads down much of this year doing exactly that and starting today we’re excited to begin delivering new solutions to you, beginning with two new capabilities.
First, we’re launching Swap by Blockchain: a next generation trading product with best-in-class liquidity and execution, powered by our new machine trading software platform that ensures best execution across assets. Blockchain Wallet users will now have access to exchange-like prices without giving up control of their keys or their crypto. And trade limits will increase from hundreds to thousands of dollars of crypto per trade.
While the system currently has deep liquidity drawn from a variety of sources, we plan to add more liquidity sources over time, including decentralized exchange protocols. We’ve rebuilt our risk and KYC systems, so that you can onboard with ease, in minutes. Swap ensures our users stay liquid and can trade at the best prices in the market, regardless of overall market volatility and challenges. We’ve started rolling Swap out today and everyone will have access over the next two weeks.
Secondly, we’re launching Lockbox: a hardware vault in your pocket, built in partnership with hardware leader Ledger. Lockbox is simple to use and is even more secure thanks to a locked endpoint that prevents phishing and spoofing attacks. It’s hardware made easy, with a setup that takes just a few moments thanks to our custom hardware-software integration.
With Lockbox you’re able to check your balance and receive transactions, on mobile and web, without the inconvenience of having to plug your device in every time. In an industry first, you’ll also be able to trade directly from your Lockbox while still maintaining your keys. In conjunction with Lockbox, we’re also excited to let current Ledger device owners seamlessly pair with the Blockchain Wallet and trade directly from the Ledger device they already own.
And we have more coming this year, including additional assets and new products within the Blockchain Wallet that will bring you new, faster, and better ways to get started in crypto.
We’re here to build a new financial system and the Blockchain Wallet is your passport to that new world. Store crypto, trade crypto, transact with crypto and most importantly truly own and control your crypto.
We’re dedicated to building the functionality you want, without compromising your control of your key. Your crypto is yours, and it should stay that way.
