Cryptos Bouncing Hard Off the Lows: Will it Last?

In the stock world, a bounce like this would get faded the next day, unless of course it was a Central Bank fueled V shape recovery. Most large cryptos have shed more than 50% of their value over the past three weeks. With that in mind and all biases aside, it would be wise to play a dead cat bounce here — but it’d also be wise to draw a line in the sand to protect on the downside, whilst also being prepared to sell the rips.

Intra day, we’ve seen Bitcoin rise from ~$9,000 to $10,400, Ethereum ~$790 to $915, and Ripple from 0.89 to $1.05.

Meanwhile, over in Exodus, we’ve been playing some of the crypto proxies, like OSTK, XNET, OTIV, and LFIN. I’m up nearly $4 since my early morning purchase of OSTK and will probably hold into tomorrow, curious as to the veracity of the crypto trader class.

Do they have the balls to run prices higher from here? Or are they now cucked to the whims of the CME and option whores on Wall Street?

My gut says sell rips, but that advice would’ve been poor over the past three years.

Thoughts?

    the banksters always fuck it up for the schmoes. they’ve got decades of rigging and muppeting experience. it’s not over yet. the banksters are on their game now. the next wave is up to suck the BTFDers in and take them out to the woodshed and shoot them on the next wave down.

    Unless you’re the one with the wallet big enough to control the entire market at a whim who is to know where anything goes anymore. As you, Fly, elude to in your post all anyone can guarantee is taking an entry following such and such rules, with a such and such objective exit as a backstop.

      As per the post you’re alluding to. Everything sold went lower. Everything bought higher.

      Fuck your own face.

    I think it’ll bounce, then continue decline a bit; it was too steep a drop to bounce back with any gusto. Then it’ll enter a bearish period for a bit, trading sideways. Then a few projects that have merit will rise out of the muck once more to tempt us with their ample gains.

        With upcoming Plasma (Scalability) and Casper (Proof of Stake) releases coming out in the near future, I like ETH and OMG mainly.

    I’m looking at AMRH for a trade.

    5-6 is more like it, maybe 8

    Finally got into Kraken Tier 4 after oh a month?

    But they ONLY accept Wire Transfers. After fees from the Bank and their Bank and lord you best not mess up anything or it goes into the ETH?

    $40 just to send money to some account and pray it clears.

    The # of people on Twitter screaming about withdraws is nuts. You’ll never get money out from them. You’ll have to fire it over to Coinbase and pray you get to send to your USD wallet after selling your Bitchcoins

    If it’s a decent amount, you bet the IRS is getting a 1099 so then taxes

    Fly has this right. Play the legit proxies, with a legit exchange where there’s volume and actual pros at the helms. Then you get a nice import into TurboTax and it’s done.

    None of this .. well I bought BCH but then exchanges it for EOS… then I sent it to Coinhood for ETH and then Coinbase and sold my ETH for USD to transfer to muh wallet.

    Jesus… I’m confused typing it! 🙂

      “Fly has this right. Play the legit proxies, with a legit exchange where there’s volume and actual pros at the helms. ” Exactly. With something as volatile as cryptos, liquidity is important. That being said, BTN will hit $15k again once the January CME futures clear. Probably much higher than that before it evaporates (<$500).

      People don't understand subtleties such as the differences between high prices and high inflation, high earnings vs risiing earnings, quality company vs quality stock, cryptocurrencies vs cryptocurrency technology (BTN vs blockchain).

      PS to chuck bennet: if you respond to a post on the internet with a bunch of profanities and personal insults, who's the one that got triggered, snowflake?
