Short-term momentum is definitely upwards, but both mid and long term momentum indicators are DOWN.

Oversold/Overbought

At this point, only medium-term is Oversold; short-term is moving back towards Oversold territory.

Brutal stuff - tough to know what exactly is going on the crypto space this evening. Short-term we are trending higher, but moving back to oversold territory.

Stagnant! Just when things looked good with breakout to the topside of the descending, broadening wedge, the price hits a wall.

Wow, surprise surprise..dropping fast like a rock. No Luna for you today, my 21 Litecoins.

A Contrarian Thought

Using Tradesview's Strong Buy thru Strong Sell metric on their dashboard, my thinking is : what if the market cap is a strong sell...shouldn't that be a good time to buy? And if the indicators are stating the coins are a strong buy, shouldn't that mean we should run away, short term? With that said, let's take a look:
As of now, we are at -1.23 (where strong sell =-2, sell = -1, neutral = 0, buy = +1, and strong buy +2). This is one I want to start tracking to see how well it hits market tops and bottoms.

That's it for today - I hope you all had a great Monday; we await fortune in the future. Good luck and good trading to all.

great, thank you!

Seems like the market is really starting to make it's mind up. Nice write-up of where we stand. Any low market cap alts that you have your eye on?

I honestly do not right now - about as low as I've gotten into is Digibyte, which I love, but that is still pretty big. I've tried to work thru some items on Kucoin, but a lot of those I really have no idea about.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Digibyte is very interesting from everything I have read about it.

Have you been looking into anything small cap? I've read about a few in the High webbot report, but hard to know if any of that is useful as the predictions have been off recently.

Not lately. I haven't been trading much for the past 2 months. Now I am starting to shop around for alts. Hopefully I can find something undiscovered that I can hold on to for a year. ;)

If I find anything good, I'll let you know and you can tell me what you think.

what the flip! I had no idea! Outrageous!
