MARKET SENTIMENT
Weekly Crypto-Cap Recap
Technical Signals
It is very difficult to predict a top during a bull run. Like some of you, I've already sold my coins, but I could have made more gains has I held for another day.
Remember, hindsight is 20/20. Don't judge your decisions by what you know today, but rather by what you knew at the time when you were making your decision.
My Current Sentiment: Neutral
Daily Number Indicator
Remember that the condition for this number indicator is any particular bars close needs to be higher/lower than the close four bars earlier. The condition can stay met, but the maximum count this indicator uses is 9.
