Just a thought for those following and PMing with questions. Currently I see confirmation of a downtrend with the lower high we set a few days ago. Overall we are still very bullish, BUT we are going for a nice ride - so will the other cryptos.
Institutional players and algos are very active in this market, and they are playing a sneaky game of accumulation. The way they will want to do this is through a process of rallying investors but also by pushing them away. This is already playing out in the threads traders are posting on this site. Some are going long, other are going short. Who's right?
To explain better, many saw a long opportunity while we were in a process of creating a lower high on the chart. Meanwhile, players were opening nice short positions. I know the same pattern will play out a few times in the coming days, which will make or break some traders. In the process we will go lower, and people will sell or stay out of the market.
Here is where accumulation ends: In order for this accumulation to be successful (i.e., for these investors to get gains), we cannot go below key levels, otherwise the big bear wakes up Now I want to warn you, this game of accumulation could see surprisingly low levels. I'll try to keep my posts fresh.
