Yield Curve Bottom (10s minus 2s) This is called the "Steepener" trade and refers to a mean reversion in the yield curve. From current level of (-38 basis points, or -0.38%), I'm targeting a move back to 1.00%, or ~70bp, risking down to about (-45bp), or about (-13bp) downside.
Yield curve steepeners seek to gain from a greater spread between short- and long-term yields-to-maturity by combining a “long” short-dated bond position with a “short” long-dated bond position, while a flattener involves sale of short-term bonds and purchase of long-term bonds.

Curve / US Dollars (CRVUSDT) Token Analysis 11/09/2023Fundamental analysis:
Curve functions as a decentralized exchange specializing in stablecoins, employing an automated market maker (AMM) to oversee liquidity management.
Its journey began in January 2020, and Curve has since become closely associated with the decentralized finance (DeFi) movement, experiencing substantial growth in the latter part of 2020.
In August, Curve introduced a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) featuring CRV as its native token. This DAO leverages the Ethereum-based creation tool, Aragon, to establish connections among various smart contracts responsible for handling users' deposited liquidity. It's worth noting that governance within this DAO differs in terms of its weighting and other key aspects compared to Aragon.
Curve has garnered significant attention by fulfilling its role as an Automated Market Maker (AMM) specifically designed for stablecoin trading.
The introduction of the DAO and CRV token has added to its profitability, as CRV serves a governance function and is distributed to users based on their level of liquidity commitment and the duration of their ownership.
The surge in DeFi trading has solidified Curve's position in the industry, as AMMs continue to handle substantial amounts of liquidity, leading to increased user profits.
Consequently, Curve caters to a broad spectrum of DeFi participants, including those engaged in yield farming and liquidity mining, as well as individuals seeking to optimize returns while holding relatively stable and non-volatile stablecoins.
The platform generates revenue by imposing a modest fee, which is then rewarded to liquidity providers.
Curve entails the typical risks associated with depositing funds into smart contracts and engaging with Automated Market Makers (AMMs), primarily the risk of impermanent loss.
Given that Curve exclusively deals with stablecoins, the likelihood of rapid market fluctuations is diminished. However, users may still experience losses when markets undergo rebalancing to align with cross-market price adjustments.
While Curve has undergone audits, it's essential to recognize that these audits do not eliminate the inherent risks associated with exposure to a particular cryptocurrency.
Curve (CRV) made its debut in August 2020, coinciding with the launch of the Curve DAO. Its primary role is to serve as a governance mechanism, provide incentives, facilitate fee payments, and offer a means for long-term earnings to liquidity providers.
The total supply of CRV tokens amounts to 3.03 billion, with the majority (62%) allocated to liquidity providers. The remaining tokens are distributed as follows: 30% to shareholders, 3% to employees, and 5% to a community reserve. It's important to note that both shareholder and employee allocations are subject to a two-year vesting schedule.
CRV did not undergo a premine, and the gradual unlocking of tokens indicates that approximately 750 million tokens should be in circulation one year after the initial launch.
The founder and CEO of Curve is Michael Egorov, a Russian scientist with diverse experience in cryptocurrency-related ventures.
In 2015, he co-founded NuCypher, where he assumed the role of CTO. NuCypher is a cryptocurrency company focused on developing privacy-preserving infrastructure and protocols.
Egorov is also the brain behind LoanCoin, a decentralized bank and loans network.
Curve's core team is integrated into the CRV allocation structure, entitling them to receive tokens over a two-year vesting period as per the initial launch plan.
In August 2020, Egorov acknowledged that he had "overreacted" by locking up a significant number of CRV tokens in response to yearn.finance's voting power, resulting in him obtaining 71% of governance control in the process.
Technical Analysis:
As we observe, the price is currently trading within a range bounded by the Fibonacci retracement levels of 78.6% and 95%. Notably, there is a potential support level at $0.15.
For the anticipated bullish cycles, we have established three potential price targets:
First Target Price (1TP): $6.75
Second Target Price (2TP): $8.5
Third Target Price (3TP): $11
It's worth noting that there are multiple resistance levels marked on the chart, corresponding to the Fibonacci retracement levels.
Sentiment Analysis:
Considering the possibility of depreciation in the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies and the price of Bitcoin (BTC) in the upcoming months, it is reasonable to consider employing a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy for long positions at the specified support levels and current Price.
BTC Fundamentals and Long Term predictionsI'm horrible at technical analysis but the fundamentals of bitcoin are something I'm very familiar with.
Like rats on a Caribbean Island Bitcoin will experience a hyperbolic s-curve that levels off once it:
1 reaches global forex market saturation (1-10%)
2 approaches 21M limit
Along the way global economic events will create massive bubbles as collapsing economies convert fiat into cryto (presumably BTC).
As the average price of BTC gets higher, and the collapsing economy's size get biggers, FOMO will make theses bubbles bigger and bigger as well (Red triangles). This is good news though, more opportunity for profit ;D
When the S-curve starts to level off we might see something like this elenastreuding.files.wordpress.com
or this

Its gonna be a wild ride to the top and I hope everyone makes some good money; don't forget to take profit!

CRVUSDT Presenting a Bullish Scenario? Curve Analysis Today💎CRVUSDT is presently navigating within a descending channel and making lower lows and lower highs on the 1D timeframe.
💎One critical point to notice is that it is positioned near a crucial support level, which aligns with the POC of VRVP.
💎 Just beneath, there's a pronounced demand zone and additional significant support that CRV could potentially approach for a retest.
💎 While there's a minimal likelihood that CRV may breach both these supports and persist in its decline, we're hopeful that CRV will emerge from this channel in the upcoming days.
💎Keep a lookout for further insights and relish your trading voyage with #MyCryptoParadise.

CRV update
Stayed above the
$.747 level.
It printed what looks like a 3 wave move up from $.717.
So here is some Elliottwave counts I am seeing.
Need some more PA printed,
and pivots broken for clarity, MO.

CRV update,
followed the orange and bounced out of algo zone in, what looks like a 3 wave move down.
The turn at the 1:1 is a concern, tbf.
Staying above .747 is ideal for me atm.

CRV price - "Inverted Head and Shoulders" pattern on a chart ?Today we will analyze the price movement of CRVUSDT on the global chart.
It can be assumed that the global "Inverted Head and Shoulders reversal pattern" has been forming on the CRVUSD chart for the past year. At least, the price structure and the falling trade volumes from the left to the right shoulder correspond to those described in the Encyclopedia of Trading Patterns.
A surge in trading volumes should occur after the price of CRV tries to break through, and hopefully breaks through and consolidates above the $1.18 level . As you can see from the trading history, there was a lot of struggle between buyers and sellers around this level.
But before that, buyers need to break through and gain a foothold above the local level of $0.80-0.82. Buyers have a lot of work to do to revive speculators' interest in the CRV
Well, after the CRVUSDT price is firmly established above $1.18 , the Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern will finally activate. At the same time, the long-term target for the growth of the CRV price, which is in the range of $3.50-4.50 , will be activated, and we were remembering the average - $4 per Curve DAO token.

Curve may see Double-Bottom vs BitcoinCurve has primarily been within a parallel downtrend on its logarithmic chart (3 day chart shown here). It broke above that channel and moved nearly a channels width above it, before breaking back down into the same trend. Often when we see a strong channel breakout that eventually falls back into the channel, crypto charts have a tendency to test a breakout on the opposite end. I've drawn channels of equal length above and below to illustrate this.
I'm expecting there is a decent chance this occurs again here, where we break down below the channel and move nearly a channels width below. This would put us in the same range as Curve's ATL vs. Bitcoin, and could stop there or move closer towards the full length of the channel, to have a slightly lower 2nd bottom on its double-bottom.
This is just an idea based on trends I've noticed in crypto. I didn't look for much confluence - but MACD is trending down and volume is still unusually low.
Should this actually happen, expect a strong move back up from the 2nd low or ATL. Short until then, long when it reaches the green box or near lower channel bottom.

Comparing to use of straight lines for identifying trends.
Why? Since there is no straight lines in nature or most of physical processes. Market is alive entity which vibrates and application of straight lines is not exactly what I'm looking for.
After new formed candles we will se how market behaved to such obstacles. It's like we're giving the market lead knowing it's nature of price in given time.
Not reversing at this current fib means that it extends to next from starting point as whole fib (Fib expiration). More it accumulates, the more potent gets opposite market incentive.
Alignment of Fib retracement of a wave to previous is sign that it is measured without imbalance.
Mind violet zone or even better mind intersections with normal trendlines which proves interconnectedness of tables drawing tools which are actually based on candles.
Evaluation a wave in terms of the other makes sense because of cause-effect chain emerging in respect to its timing.

TREASURY YIELDS AND THE FED FUNDS RATEThis chart shows the effective federal funds rate in comparison to the 30 year and 3 month yield over the past five years. There are 5 interesting times to look at:
1. Late 2018 long term yields began to peak right before the fed stopped their hiking cycle. Yield curve began to flatten.
2. They then stayed put for about 6 months with the 3MY hovering right around the EFFR. Suddenly, the 3 month yield dips below the fed rate quickly - and they begin dropping their benchmark rate again .
3. Early 2020 the panic of the COVID-19 pandemic caused rates to nose dive and the fed to slash their rate all the way to 0% very quickly.
4. Fed did not raise rates for two years . In early 2022 they began to hike for the first time since 2018. This also coincides with the beginning of the Ukraine conflict.
5. Half a year of steady rate hikes makes it so the EFFR finally passes it's 2018 peak in mid 2022. The 30Y and 30M invert fairly soon after while the fed funds rate overtakes the 30Y yield.
Feel free to discuss what you think of these relations and what your predictions are for the future. In my opinion, the more the yield curve inverts the more problems there will be in the financial system. Eventually, term risk will not outweigh the high short-term yields especially once the benchmark rate gets over the inflation rate. I see the fed doing what they are best ate - acting too late.

US 10Year - 02Year - Yield Inversion (Posted 01FEB23)In this chart you can see how inverted we are and for how long on the 10-2year. I also have the 10-03mo chart that I will link to this also. This is a recession indicator. It will be interesting to follow this chart as the FOMC tries to bring the curve back under control. I will return frequently to run the "Play" and see how they do over the months!

Curve DAO Token CRV price has a chance for another leap upToday we will take a look at the CRVUSDT trading pair.
Our attention was drawn to the fact that during yesterday's market decline, CRV buyers kept the price above the strong mirror level of $0.95-1. As you can see from the trading history of CRVUSDT, this zone has often played the role of critical support and resistance levels.
In general, the growth of the CRVUSD price in January 2023 was x2.
If buyers of Curve DAO token manage to keep the price above the liquidity zone of $0.90-1 in the coming days, there is a good prospect of another +50% growth to the range of $1.35-1.50
An additional fact that Curve Finance has prospects can be evidenced by the Top of protocols with assets placed and blocked in them (TVL) (at the time of writing this idea):
1. Lido Finance ~ $8.0 billion,
2. MakerDAO ~ $7.0 billion,
3. Curve ~ $4.75 billion.
4. AAVE ~ $4.5 billion
5. Convex Finance ~ $4 billion
6. Uniswap ~ $3.8 billion
7. JustLend ~ $3.6 billion
8. PancakeSwap ~ $2.5 billion
