Originally published in the Bitcoin BullBear Weekly Report released on 3/13/2015. Partial excerpt only. Written by @AKWAnalytics. What a week it has been as the battle over 300 $ continues. Up until early this morning, we simply could not get a handle on the market whatsoever as technicals have become less helpful in the chop. That being said, the move lower to our 289 $ downside target has provided just enough clarity for us to get back on track. While the shorter term outlook remains murky, most likely due to the fact that bitcoin is stuck in a trendless pattern and is …
Metals BullBear: Gold COMEX Consolidation Continues
Originally published in the Metals BullBear Weekly Report released on 2/25/2015. Partial excerpt only. Written by @AKWAnalytics. The precious metals complex has been moved to the backburner of the global finacial stove once again as the pullback continues. Now that gold has recently broken the 1200 $ level a few times, we think it is likely that the market pushes lower still, perhaps down to the 1170 to 1180 $ area. Don’t get too discouraged, though! There is a light at the end of this tunnel. First, the fundamentlas of the shiny metals remain intact as global central banks continue to purchase …
Monero Price Analysis for 2/24/2015 - Bull Flag or Breakdown?
Market Commentary [XMR] Its been quite a week for Monero with regard to price appreciation and volume. After falling below the critical 0.001 level once again a few weeks ago it looked bleak for the most interesting anon coin on the scene in our opinion. However, as they say, “things are always darkest before the dawn”. Following a textbook double bottom that held on significant volume, the all clear signal was waved for the bulls and they moved into the market en masse. In fact, over the past 24 hours, XMR has the highest trading volume of any altcoin. Combine this …
Crypto BullBear Presents: The Weekly Altcoin Watchlist for 2/23/2015
No doubt about it, the altcoin space is evolving quickly both in terms of maturity and size. It seems as though the good ole days of daily pump and dumps and premined vaporware coins have transitioned into a more legitimate phase as many dev teams realize that they must actually do some innovative work to keep their precious coins from becoming worthless. Given the number of coins that now exist, how the liquidity flows within the altcoin complex, and how fast things change from day to day, we think it is best to take a more casual approach to this sector …
Silk Road Bitcoins Continue to Haunt the Market
Originally published in the Bitcoin BullBear Weekly Report released on 2/19/2015. Partial excerpt only. Written by @AKWAnalytics. Following the announcement of another USMS SR bitcoin auction of 50,000 btc, the market took a 5% haircut prior to partially recovering over the course of that night. Now price is struggling to move much at all in either direction as it seems to be stuck between support and resistance. Despite the negative market reaction to the SR news when it was announced, we think it is a good thing in the long run as this charade comes to an end. Following this auction the …
Equities Remain Strong Despite Lackluster Data
Originally published in the Stocks BullBear Weekly Report released on 2/18/2015. Partial excerpt only. Written by @AKWAnalytics. While our call for range bound stock markets did not come to fruition, at least our indication that a breakout would most likely be higher was correct. At this time we are steadfastly neutral given the technical picture, however we still see upside before a serious correction. You would think that with stocks at all time highs in Europe and the US that the economic data must be at least improving, if not getting pretty good, to support such lofty valuations (which according to the …

New York vs. Italy: Let the Bitcoin Regulatory Battle Begin
Originally published in the Bitcoin BullBear Weekly Report released on 2/4/2015. Partial excerpt only. Written by @AKWAnalytics. What an interesting day in the bitcoin space! In the middle of the day the price began to spike on news that the revised BitLicense had been released, only to be smacked back down an hour later on news that Ross Ulbricht had been found guilty on all seven charges he faced, four of which carry potential life sentences. No doubt the powers that be are trying to send a message, but will they succeed? Despite all of the to-do about the BitLicense and Silk …
