Weekly Bulletin

Hello folks,

I caught a small cold, and every few minutes I sneeze and lose my train of thought.

But we carry on!

Let’s jump into it, got a few things to cover.


On last week’s trade update

Last week I sent out a trade update, to our few hundred subscribers (The post is public now, you can read it here.)

I haven’t sent out a trade update in some time, and this seemed like a good time to come out of hibernation.

It worked out pretty well.

ETH was ~$210 when I sent the email and ETH hit my target range at ~$281.

I sold some ETH at my target and bought back in with a better BTC ratio.

As I said in the update, I’m still bullish on ETH/BTC ratio.

If you’d like to not miss these emails in the future

You can subscribe :)


Alright, enough shilling myself, moving on.


Cboe ETF delayed (again)

The SEC has again postponed its decision on VanEck SolidX Bitcoin ETF and will be seeking public comments.

Not really a big deal as I don’t think it will have much of an impact on price since the SEC has already rejected atleast 10 similar proposals.

JP Morgan & intrinsic value

JP Morgan strategists made reference to bitcoin’s intrinsic value (mostly based on cost of production, mining), which is interesting since less than two years ago the CEO was calling bitcoin a scam.

They made an argument that speculation is driving the cost of bitcoin beyond its economic stability into a bubble…

And that’s all cool, but it’s more interesting how opinions are being changed before our eyes.

Fintwit and bankers bought the bottom and will now espouse $BTC back to you more rigorously and eloquently than you ever tried convincing them.

At 0%, Bitcoin has a higher yield than government bonds in 18 countries whose central banks are attempting to debase their currencies and inflate asset prices. In unrelated news, Bitcoin is up 112% year-to-date. $BTC https://t.co/p2NhtOkZ5y

I expect to see more of this rhetoric in the future.

The general consensus seems to be that we’re due for a pullback.

1D $BTC - Cloud says this is insanely overbought & calling for 6150 - VPVR likes 6400 - potential rising 3 methods aka bullish continuation - RSI = 90 at last high, if higher high, almost guarantees bear div - 10k is the next big lvl more in 2mrw's article for @bravenewcoin

The bull market is real. A momentary dip below 7k, and a few days later we are back above 8k and the Sep and Dec contracts are in contango. Booyah!

I am not completely sold on this yet.

I think we’ll have a pullback (or arguably, are in the middle of finishing a pullback) and will continue to move sideways and up.

Below are the 3 zones I’m paying most attention too (labelled A, B, and C).

Zone A = local trend line
Zone B = local high
Zone C = trend line + fib line


Bitcoin (Moving Averages)

We had the daily 50 SMA cross the weekly 50 SMA.


Shorts vs. Longs

All this bearishness isn’t evident in the long/short ratio.

The end

What do you folks think?

That’s all for now.
