Crypto Sentiment Score | August 22nd | ItsCryptex
Bulls 4 | Neutral 11 | Bears 17
Summary for today:
We have bears in control on the altcoins, yet Bitcoin is currently approving a Bull Sentiment. If you are into alts and wanna take short term trades, its not the time to do so, in my opinion. Safety of cash or tether or tusd is my preferable choice currently.
Not financial advice, you know the drill.
ALTCOINS BTC pairings used for summary| ADA, EOS, ETH, ICX, NEO, DASH, ARK, XEM, IOTA, QTUM, NANO, BTCUSD
#WhyAmIdoingthis?
Just like in stock trading, where you use leading indicators such as 10 year yield bond rates, transport sector indicators and volatility indexes to suggest upcoming market movement, we need similar indicators for the crypto markets.
These indicators are not just used to say, ok its time to buy ADA or NEO NOW!!! No they are meant to help you to give you technical support when deciding to trade alts in top 50 range in general, perhaps even in the top 100 range. Again this is a trading technique not an investment technique. (trading - take short swings, investing - do research on projects and hold them over the long run, plus taking profits on bull waves) Trade can generate funds, which you may decide to invest on in larger longterm investments schemes. Well this is my philosophy at least.
More over these indicators help you to make a decision to move out of a trade and into the safety of cash, even though our greedy mind is telling us - "But what if I’m wrong and it all moves up" you need technical and market indicators to tell you, its enough for now, take the profit and move into Bitcoin or into asset pegged crypto like Tether, or into the safety of cash, depending on your decision what is the safest move at that time for you and your portfolio.
Over the past 6 months I have followed the alt charts as much as possible, trying to take advantage of the alt upswing, here is what I learned - I will use ADA, NEO, NANO, IOTA, EOS, ETH, ARK, DASH, BTCUSD as altcoin indicators. If the majority of signs point to bears or bulls I will act on swing trading accordingly
(Not Financial Advice, Doing this for fun, have a good one)
