Bitcoin Hits New All Time High Near $3,000 As Cryptos Surpass $100 Billion Market Cap / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
Are we witnessing the biggest wealth transfer in human history? A case can certainly be made for it.
One year ago, cryptocurrencies as a sector had a market capitalization of only $11 billion. Looking back even further, four years ago, the entire sector including bitcoin had a market capitalization of less than $1 billion.
As of today, it has surpassed $100 billion.

Bitcoin Price Appreciates Again / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
Bitcoin is creeping into the mainstream press. Last week, the digital currency was in the center of an article in the Economist. In the article, we read:
Markets frequently froth and bubble, but the boom in bitcoin, a digital currency, is extraordinary. Although its price is down from an all-time high of $2,420 on May 24th, it has more than doubled in just two months. Anyone clever or lucky enough to have bought $1,000 of bitcoins in July 2010, when the price stood at $0.05, would now have a stash worth $46m. Other cryptocurrencies have soared, too, giving them a collective market value of about $80bn.

By: Franco_Shao
EURUSD might be forming a double bottom pattern on its weekly chart. The first bottom is at the March 2015 low of 1.0462, the second bottom is at the January 2017 low of 1.0340, and the neckline is from the August 2015 high of 1.1713 to the May 2016 high of 1.1616, now at around 1.1450. The price has to break through the neckline before confirming this reversal formation.

Bitcoin is in Consolidation of Uptrend / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Franco_Shao
After hitting a new record of 2737, BTCUSD dropped sharply to as low as 1737. However, the fall would possibly be consolidation of the uptrend from 905. There is an ascending trend line from the March 25 low of 905 with support at around 1600 on its daily chart. As long as the pair is above the trend line, the price action from 2737 could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend and another rise could be expected after the consolidation.

Bitcoin Price Sees Most Important Action in Years / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
Bitcoin is right after a period of pullback from the recent all-time high. Is this move only a temporary correction or a beginning of a more sustainable move down? In an article on CNBC, we read:
Nearly $4 billion has been wiped off of the value of bitcoin in the past four days after a correction that has seen the cryptocurrency's price fall almost 19 percent from its recent record high.
On May 24, bitcoin hit an all-time high of $2.791.69. But on Monday, the digital currency was trading at an intra-day high of $2,267.73, marking a more than $520 drop or 18.7 percent decline since the record high, according to data from CoinDesk.

USDCAD Is Facing Channel Support / Currencies / Canadian $
By: Franco_Shao
USDCAD has reached the bottom trend line of the ascending price channel on its daily chart which acts as support for the upside movement. As long as the price is above the bottom trend line, the pair remains in bullish structure and the fall from May 5 high of 1.3793 could be treated as correction of the uptrend from January 31 low of 1.2968, another rise towards 1.4000 could be expected after the correction. All we should do now is to wait for the breakout to occur.

Shari’ah-Compliant Crypto Gold: Could Islam Be Preparing for a New World Reserve Currency? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: HAA
Shannara Johnson writes: It all started pretty harmlessly: in December 2016, after about 12 months of deliberations, the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and the World Gold Council announced a new “Shari’ah Standard on Gold.”
The new standard was celebrated as a potentially big boost for global gold demand as it would give more than 2 billion Muslims in the world access to gold-based financial products that were previously forbidden to them.

Bitcoin and AltCoins Crypto Price Correction / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Jeff_Berwick
I don’t know whether I have been uncannily prescient at predicting where the cryptocurrency market is going… or if I am causing all of the things I am predicting.
It’s a serious question. It seems that when I say I expect a cryptocurrency to go higher it immediately spikes massively higher right after.
And, yesterday, I said that a pullback in bitcoin and the altcoins was not only to be expected but was a healthy thing after such a massive run-up.

EURGBP: A Picture of Elliott Wave Precision / Currencies / Euro
By: EWI
The euro's recent surge to two-month highs against the pound fit its Elliott wave blueprint beautifully
Let's assume financial markets are driven by news events. Negative news items cause prices to fall, while positive items fuel rallies. Easy enough, right?
Not exactly. See, there are several problems with this premise, most of all this: Investors' interpretation of the news is constantly changing. To use those events as a gauge of future price action is like trying to shoot a straight arrow in the middle of a tornado.

US Dollar Cycle : Deep Dive / Currencies / US Dollar
By: SurfCity
I thought I would start off this weekend by recapping one of the most important aspects of Walter Bressert’s Cycle Theory. Very simply put, it is that Longer Cycles almost always dominate the shorter Cycles. This is Huge because if you understand where you are in the Longer Cycles, trading the shorter ones becomes much easier.
Is the USD really topping here? This is an extremely importing Cycle call here because if it is, Gold and the broader Commodity Complex may well be ready to become much more bullish going forward. There is no doubt that the USD has been very bullish since 2014 but this post and related charts will provide you with why a trend change maybe upon us.
