very simple clear pattern.

Thank you for looking

Look at that candlewick and volume!

The original elliot wave has become a big wedge. Astonishing recapture of 40sat by bulls. After having a few rallies earlier this year to about 35-40 Sat and re-accumulation on the way down, it seems irrational to think there are any sellers left who will part with their precious Doges for below this price (unless BTC starts...

Generally this divergence suggests this is the top. Here we have *just about* broken down out of an ascending wedge (a bearish pattern). This support is now turned resistance and ETC will have to either a) consolidate sideways or decline to support or b) bounce back into this wedge and close inside it to continue its rise.

However, ETC has just recently broken...

Uptrend continuation, or am I smoking hopium?

potential risk = gradual grind down to 15 sat

potential upside = massive

or is doge dead?

My take

One of the things about wedges I like is that they are absolutely objective

my entry was 24 sat when it was oversold on the weekly

(I am not referring to RSI in this instance as there is no divergence).

You should follow me because I like dogs and drawing triangles

I am practicing with this pattern.

Similar to BCH

- both extended accumulation
- both breakout at similar times due to news and realisation of value
- symmetrical triangles in both cases

I am expecting upward trend continuation

ETC is ready for another run on the Stoch

not 100% sure this is a true bullish pennant, but we have a breakout 'flagpole' and a sequence of higher lows. Not sure why it just seems insanely bullish to me. RSI strong and divergent on the 4hr. Trendline of resistance turned support. We have just flipped 0.04}

Comments welcome

*** I am not a professional ***

We are still inside a downtrend channel

RSI same as last year in behaviour

Must conquer MA200 to move ahead

I believe short first to test support then measured move up past MA200

It seems realistic to me that we will come down to test support before making a measured move up

I am still not convinced

Other traders have drawn this same pattern with a big up arrow coming out the top... it is a bearish pattern

These two events look similar to me, an short, impulsive rally followed by a an IHS, people calling 'the bottom' when we have not had nearly enough time for distribution / accumulation. I believe bears are still in control.

Reversal Pattern

Short term:

Blue rectangle = supply zone

Have to break 7450 according to historical support / resistance, come back and test support

Wait for breakout

*** I am merely a speculator ***

Strong support at $250. Everyone who was going to exit BCH did so at the fork, the only sellers remaining are panic sellers who bought in March/April and onwards. BCH has gone through a continual downtrend since inception before hitting rock bottom. There are no weak hands left to shake out!! Here we are touching the primary trend line and uptrend to...

One of crypto's oldest coins acting as a flea on the LTC network. Wide circulation and media exposure and support from Ledger and various online services.

Demand zone is lower at 15 - 20 sat, but DOGE along with most other alts are already heavily oversold because people are emptying their DOGE wallets to exit to BTC while it's still above 10K.

BTC has failed...

Let me preface this post by saying, we don’t show our goats. We are a licensed Raw Dairy producing milk and cheese for sale at the farm and also at local farmers’ markets, so what follows is information pertaining specifically to hand milking.
Udders, big, small, tight, loose, big teats, small teats, and large and small orifices in the teats; all of these things affect milking! Not how much milk is produced, but the ease of hand milking. Oh and one other thing, the fun of dealing with the first freshener!
A commonly asked question is “how will I know when my goat’s udder is empty?” I always giggle a little under my breath when I get this one, then with a very straight face I reply, “when no more milk comes out”. Of course another way to tell is when the teats lose their full look and become very limp.
I took lots of photos of our girls full and empty udders, but the one that shows “empty” the best is Sweet Pea. She is a Sable, first freshener, doing fantastic in the milking department, and will probably lead the herd in milk production by next year!
And, speaking of first fresheners, another frequently asked question is how we get our newbies to behave so well. That answer is so easy! Once our little girls are tall enough to reach the food pan on the milking stand, that’s where they start getting their meals. By the time they are ready to be milked for the first time, they are first of all, completely familiar with the milking stand and where their food is, and secondly, they are very calm about getting up on the stand because they know it’s always a pleasant experience. Toward the end of their pregnancies, every time they come into the milking room to eat, they get petted, stroked, and we palpate their udders. So on the first milking day, they know what’s going to go on!
Now, let’s talk about udders! A great big udder doesn’t always mean a great big slug of milk; and the same is true with small udders! Our biggest producer, Chami, who is also a Sable, has what I would classify a medium sized udder, medium sized teats, and unfortunately small orifices in her teats. What does that mean? It means she produces well over a gallon at the beginning of the season, but, it takes quite a while to milk her because the size of the orifice prohibits a big flow of milk. My husband, Ken, can get two goats milked while I milk Chami. She’s a great goat with fantastic production so I wouldn’t trade her for anything!
Xable (pronounced Zable) is another Sable who has a totally different udder. Even though we milk by hand, Xable would be the perfect goat for a milking machine. Xable has a very small udder with very small teats and huge orifices in her teats. Milking her is like turning on a faucet! She is a 5 to 7 pound (a gallon of milk weighs 8.6 pounds) a day milker and she produces gorgeous triplets every year. She is our herd comedienne, her comic relief every morning makes it all worthwhile.
Winnie, a French Alpine, has a huge udder, great big “baloney” teats, and large orifices. She is without a doubt, our easiest, fastest, most talkative milker. She produces between 7 and 9 pounds a day.
Our two first fresheners, Sweet Pea and Twilite, (both are Sables) have beautiful udders, growing teats and great orifices. Growing teats? Yes, as these first milkers are milked twice a day, their small first time teats, start to become stretched and they literally grow. Both girls are already up to 6 pounds or more per day, and promise to be fantastic producers by next season.
As an aside, milk is produced by supply and demand. If you are not placing a demand, production will continue to be depleted until it stops altogether! So, when you are hand milking, make sure you empty the udder completely. What we do, is once the udder is empty, we massage it for a few seconds and, believe it or not, there is always more milk there.
If you have any questions after reading all of this, please feel free to ask them in the comment section, I’ll be more than happy to answer them for you.
