BTCUSD: Maybe still sideways, back to support soonI'm holding my long term positions, I reduced my exposure lately, and will be looking to buy more BTC after this potential move down ends. Looks like we're about to witness a new wave of fundamental chaos, with talks about Bcoin, a new alternative to Core, which apparently some miners are looking to peddle, and which already received some positive talk from the usual suspects. I suppose some if not all miners benefit from maintaining the status quo, so they started falsely supporting protocol changes, which they will never back with hashrate, to avoid Segwit taking their mining efficiency tweaks.
If that's the case, the market will remain sideways until these miners are exposed with sound evidence, or someone releases their hacks to improve mining efficiency covertly for instance.
I'll focus on the long term, and hold my 2-month timeframe positions, but I'm out of daily trades. I did open a margin long in ETHBTC as a hedge, so, that should suffice for now.
I'll update my clients once I think the bottom's in, and after any meaningful change in the analysis. For now, I'll keep my posts here to a minimum. I think I have proved Time at Mode's efficiency in this market sufficiently for now, together with Tim West's prior work on Bitcoin and ETH.
If you have any questions, let me know in the comments section.
Good luck!
Ivan Labrie.

The Bulls Still Control This MarketThis has been one crazy week to say the least. First we had the fear about Ghash.io was going to reach 51%. After that we saw the news about the SR coins being auctioned off. The latter was the true push the market needed to see us tumble. Even while Ghash.io reached 51% it was not news that I thought pushed us as deep as the new influx of coins going back into circulation.
I talk more about the Silk Road auction and a bit more about 51% news @ www.allbitcointa.cu.cc
For now here is an indicator overview:
• Stoch + Stoch RSI – Over the course of this week both remained oversold
• Aroon Oscillator – This is a new one that I made to show the difference between Aroon up and down. It is a simple indicator yet one that is useful. It can be tricky to see what Aroon is telling you at a glance. With this indicator you can see the crossovers happen whenever they cross the mid line of 0. With Aroon Oscillator (15) there are some ways to tell for reversals in the trend. Currently we hit above 90 and need to see below -90 to see the reversal into bear territory. We did not see that and Aroon is starting to regain.
• PSAR – This has been getting close to switching over the past few days. Even a small move above 610 would cause it to start switching to BUY.
