Investing in Crypto Currencies With Both Eyes WIDE OPEN! / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Firstly, crypto's are VERY HIGH RISK, the crypto bugs constantly talk about how manipulated fiat, stocks and precious metals are hence they seek their financial freedom in decentralised crypto currencies. However in my opinion crypto currencies are probably the most manipulated markets of the lot where huge amounts of coins reside in whale wallets that could be dumped onto the markets at any time. Then there are the inflation rates, crypto coin printing on an epic scale that would even make the Fed's Powell blush where comparatively low prices against all time highs can easily fool unsuspecting crypto investors into buying garbage with masked inflation rates in excess of over 100% that thus can not sustain bull runs to capitalise on until the inflation rates moderate to under 10%, such as that of Filecoin where given the plethora of pump content out there one is hard pressed to determine the true inflation rate that apparently is currently running at 160% against that of say Bitcoin's inflation rate of about 1.6%.

Is Bitcoin a Better Inflation Hedge Than Gold? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: MoneyMetals
Gold and silver markets continue to gather upside momentum as inflation pressures spread throughout the economy.
Metals markets may be starting to reflect broader inflation trends that are manifesting in higher prices for almost everything. These price increases faced by businesses and consumers are showing no signs of letting up, despite the Federal Reserve line that they are “transitory.”
Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones weighed in on the inflation threat during an appearance on CNBC this week.

Inflation and the Crazy Crypto Markets / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
One of the reasons for investing in crypto's is INFLATION i.e. fiat currency is constantly being devalued whilst many crypto's are limited to print run such as Bitcoin. So whilst I have not bought any Bitcoin to date due to not meeting my price targets so far. However, going forward I will be retaining all mined bitcoin regardless of what happens to the price, roughly I mine about $300 worth of bitcoin per month across 2 desktops.
Meanwhile I have limit orders all over the place attempting to capitalise on the crazy crypto markets. For instance recently Litecoin first dropped to to $100 and then spiked to $300. Which triggered me long at $112 and $118, current price is $185. So I am seeking to capitalise on such highly volatility price moves in both directions due to immature trading platforms and low volume i.e. where Litecoin is concerned I have limit orders to buy at $146 and below with limit orders to sell at $280 and above.

Bitcoin $100K or Ethereum $10K—which happens first? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Stephen_McBride
What happens first… bitcoin to $100k or Ethereum to $10k?”That’s one of the many questions I get about crypto.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are far and away the two largest cryptos, worth roughly $1.4 trillion combined.
They’ve skyrocketed in value. If you had invested five hundred bucks into both cryptos five years ago, you’d be sitting on $180,000.
Today, bitcoin is roughly $55,000 per coin. Ethereum trades for around $3,500. My research shows both should continue to rise.
But which will hit their big milestone first?
Will bitcoin hit $100K—which is roughly double from here?

Ravencoin RVN About to EXPLODE to NEW HIGHS! Last Chance to Buy Before it goes to the MOON! / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Ravencoin appears to be on the verge of a major move higher once it breaks above it's 200 day moving average on a closing basis at 0.11 (current price 0.1055). If we are lucky it will break the 100 day lower first before going higher i.e. into 0.065 to 0.078, but at this point that looks like a low probability. RVN looks like its about to go to the MOON! Your last chance to get onboard.

Ailing UK Pound Has Global Effects / Currencies / British Pound
By: Justin_Weinger
Are you among the millions of financial news watchers who wonder what is going on with the British pound (GBP)? If so, you've probably already noticed that one of the big four currencies has been dropping in recent months. Not since the first few weeks after the Brexit deal took effect has the UK's denominated currency been hit so hard. Its most recent value in terms of US dollars (USD) was $1.357, but what's worrying most traders is the GBP's volatility, which also stands are recent highs. There's no question that the pound is taking a pounding, but two questions are uppermost in the minds of forex enthusiasts:
- How will FX markets react to this recent development?
- What kinds of opportunities does the pound's woes offer to foreign exchange traders?

Bitcoin Rockets In Preparation For Liftoff To $100,000 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Submissions
By Jason Appel - In my September article updating expectations and possibilities for Bitcoin to reach $100k, three paths were discussed that detail various perspectives for the near-term in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) on its way to $100k.
In this article, we will review the various paths presented in the September article, and reconcile the present action to find which of the scenarios appears most likely.
From the September article:
Three potential regions to catch price on the coming drop:
Black Count: In this count, we consider the prospect that the lows are in. Pullbacks are buying opportunities. Based on the low and high of the rally structure in question, our first region to watch ranges from approximately $36k-$42k. Should price form a symmetrical 3 wave move from the September 6th high into the aforementioned region and strongly bounce, we will have some additional evidence that the decline is complete and price is on its way to $100k+. Confirmation of this count displayed in black notation will ultimately confirm by price maintaining above $36k and breaking out above the September 6th high. Alternatively, should the price make a sustained break below the $33,600 region, we have a strong signal that lower lows are incoming.

US Dollar Bears Are Fresh Out of Honey Pots / Currencies / US Dollar
By: P_Radomski_CFA
The declining medium-term outlook for gold, silver, and mining stocks will eat away at the honey pot of US dollar bears. Get ready for bee stings.
With headline after headline attempting to knock the USD Index off of its lofty perch, I warned on Sep. 13 that dollar bears will likely run out of honey sooner rather than later.
I wrote:
While the USD Index was under fundamental fire in recent weeks, buyers eagerly hit the bid near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. And after positive sentiment lifted the greenback back above the neckline of its inverse (bullish) head & shoulders pattern last week, the USDX’s medium-term outlook remains profoundly bullish.
More importantly, though, after the USD Index rallied by 0.63% last week and further validated its bullish breakout, gold, silver, and mining stocks ran in the opposite direction. And with the divergence likely to accelerate over the medium term, the swarm should sting the precious metals during the autumn months.

So... This Happened! One Crypto Goes From "Little-Known" -to- "Top 10" in 6 Weeks / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: EWI
SOL surges 10x in six weeks, outshining crypto kings like Bitcoin and Ethereum. See how you could have seen the rally coming.
The world's financial authorities continue toggling back and forth between banning digital currency transactions one day, and predicting hyperbitcoinization -- i.e., bitcoin becoming fiat currency -- the other.
All the while high-profile gazillionaires like Elon Musk stir the pot with metaphorical nursing tweets about "pumping not dumping" bitcoin.
Thus, it's hard to remember bitcoin is NOT the only sheriff in town. There are hundreds of listed tokens quietly making huge waves in their much smaller pools. One such name is Solana, a lower altcoin who, between July 20 and September 9, actually outperformed the leading crypto kings.

Why every serious investor should be focused on blockchain technology / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Stephen_McBride
There’s a lot going on in the world right now. Fears about the Delta variant. Inflation’s making a comeback. There’s chaos in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 just struck record highs.
Investors are confused. And I don’t blame them. Negativity is dominating the news. And you’ve got so-called “experts” on TV claiming this stock market bubble is about to pop.
I want our readers to focus on the BIG PICTURE.
Hands down, today is the most exciting time to be an investor since the mid-1990s, when the dot-com boom was just starting.

Dovish Assassins of the USD Index / Currencies / US Dollar
By: P_Radomski_CFA
“I’ve got you in my sights” – the USDX heard that a lot over the last two weeks. While it was bullish for gold, the dollar might take revenge soon.
With Fed Chairman Jerome Powell doubling down on his dovish dialogue on Aug. 27 and the Delta variant depressing U.S. nonfarm payrolls on Sep. 3, the stars aligned for a profound decline in the USD Index. However, while the greenback came under fire from all angles, the USD Index demonstrated immense resiliency in the face of adversity. Moreover, the bullish determination helped reinforce our expectation for another move higher over the medium term.
To explain, the USD Index suffered a breakdown below the neckline of its inverse (bullish) head & shoulders pattern on Sep. 3 (following the release of the payrolls). However, once cooler heads prevailed, the dollar basket recouped the key level during futures trading on Sep. 5/6/7. As a result, U.S. dollar sentiment still remains quite elevated, and at the moment of writing these words, the USD Index is trading back (not much but still) above the neck level of the pattern (dashed, thick line) that’s based on the closing prices.
