Siacoin Looks Like it Will Continue to Bang

As noted by myself (author) numerous times, Siacoin is probably one of, if not the most manipulated cryptocurrency out of them all in the cryptosphere.

However, that does not mean that it does not represent some lucrative buying opportunities.

In this piece we’re going to attempt to dissect whether now is one of those buying opportunities.

Siacoin Price Analysis


So, let’s dissect the picture above for a second.

We can glean a few things from the image above:

1. The price of Siacoin is currently trading at a resistance.

2. The next overhead resistance for Siacoin is at roughly 125 sats, which is where that P/L box of 8.74% was drawn to.

3. There appears to have been a substantial increase in the price in the last few days/weeks.

Let’s check out what’s going on in terms of the price from a zoomed out view:


Since September 17th, 2018, the price has increased by 48.15%, pretty substantial.

We can also see that a strong uptrend has developed as well.


We also can notice what (potentially) may be a flat-top triangle formation


The general characteristics of a flat-top triangle pattern (or ascending triangle formation) are pretty easy to understand from just looking at the graphics.

Generally there is a resistance point that the price has continually failed to surpass whilst also posting a series of ‘higher lows’.

This is a bullish chart pattern formation, and in crypto, this pattern usually plays out to a certain extent.

If and when the pattern does play out, make sure that you always watch for the re-test.

Below is an example of what the re-test may look like:


However, before getting ahead of ourselves, it is important to see if there is an indication that the trend will continue on both the smaller time frames as well as the daily.

This will help us to confirm that the price may more than likely break out in due time.


Relative Strength Index(14) for SiaCoin


As one can see in the picture above, the RSI(14) has posted a very good performance on the H4 chart recently.

However, it is also closing in on the overbought region, which means that a potential drawdown before proceeding upward could be a possibility.

We’ll need more information before we can make such a conclusion though.

So, the next logical step will be to look at the 2-hour chart in order to see if that’s overbought. If that chart is reading that it is grossly overbought, then there’s a solid chance that there could be a drawdown in the price before it eventually rises again. Whether or not it will rise again is contingent on what we can see on the daily chart.


Yup, so as expected, the RSI(14) on the 2-hour chart is grossly overbought at this point in time, and the RSI(14) on the 4-hour is getting to that point as well.

So, an entry right now in the short-term may not be the best option for traders.

Now Let’s Check Out the Daily Resolution


As expected, the performance of the RSI is doing pretty well at the moment.

It is racing toward the overbought zone, but it is definitely not there as of yet, so there is no danger on the daily in terms of investing that we can detect specifically from the daily RSI(14).

We also have a ‘buy signal’ (the line is green; this is a custom RSI indicator), which tells us that buy signal initiated by the RSI(14) has been mostly confirmed at this point.

The flat-top triangle formation is still looking solid on the daily resolution as well.

Zerononcense Balance of Power RSI Indicator Readings for Siacoin

The beauty of this indicator is that it detects whether there is buying or selling occurring in the markets.

If the line is trending upward, that means that there is accumulation.

If the line is trending downward, that means that there’s distribution.

There is an RSI-like overlay on the chart as well, which gives us a sense of when the buy/sell pressure is beyond its normal limits.

The line turns red when it has detected an extreme in either accumulation or distribution. This indicator is useful because it renders a lot of divergence and it shows when individual on the protocol are either buying or selling.

Let’s check out the readings that we get here for Siacoin on the daily resolution.


So, in specific, what we can see on the chart is that there has been a large uptick in purchases of Siacoin since October 12th.

Let’s see where that point was on the regular chart:


The first to the last candle in the golden rectangle above represent October 12th-18th.

As we can see above, the price was trading sideways during this time period, but there was also substantial accumulation of Siacoin going on during that same period. Thus, the inherent value of this indicator has come to light once again.

As noted above when reviewing the Balance of Power RSI for Siacoin, it appears that the accumulation / buy pressure is still rising at a consistent rate, which gives the impression that the overhead resistance probably won’t be enough to send Siacoin’s price back down toward the ground.

Conclusion

For those that can’t wait for the price to calm down, here’s the R/R on this trade:


Waiting is generally advised, but operate to your heart’s content.
