What Are YOU Trading Today, & WHY? | E.45 | A Community Based Engagement Resource for Everyone! Aug. 21st - 2017 Basic Crypto Market Stats/Charts Overview for Newer Crypto Family! | Market Cap recovery support climbs again- $142.3B

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Today I'm continuing this series, hoping people will read, engage, respond, help each other etc - I will do this a couple times a week so people see it is a regular series and place they can always come and refer to the resource.


The markets have been bleeding RED for a lot of the last ~65 days!

The last 20 days have been good times.

  • We have gone back over the $100B market cap just in the last 20 days or so and stayed there -- buoyed by the Hard Fork / The Forkening of the Bitcoin on Aug. 1st...... into the Bitcoin Cash. Symbol -- $BCH

We hit our market cap low point on July 16th around 8 am EST -- seeing the bottom around the $63B mark

The history of June/July leading up to where we are now, is in the 2nd half of this post.

Pls. skip to the end if you want to reply, keep reading for the charts and recent history in this series.



The Recent History Leading to Now:


It's definitely been a rough ride again lately- but recovering well the last 20 days!!!

Since the June 20th Market Cap ATH of $117B, it has been down...... then up a bit.... then down again. Then up....wait.....nope - then down again then back up..... LOL!

The last 20 days since the Aug. 1st Bitcoin Forkening has been a rocket straight up for the most part.... though as those charts show.


~30 days ago when I did my update here on this we were recovering big time....... still depressed but slow recovery at $74B market cap and as high in recovery as $96B.

~25 days ago on my update here - we were at $89B. But we had not crossed the August 1st Bitcoin forkening date!!! And then...

~18 days ago here on my update we had finally crossed back into the $100B market cap range -- that day sitting at $102B when my update here was posted.

The Bitcoin fork day on August 1st changed everything in a lot of ways in the market -- and that was 20 days ago now and apart from some red / corrections in the market here and there -- we have not looked back and the bull market has been charging ahead ---

--Look at the market cap gains daily since 8/1 - Today now at $142.3B

That's ~$51B gained since August 1st (20 days ago)

It has been a fight!! But we love our Crypto!!!

We have been been hovering around a depressed $90-94B Market Cap MOST of the last 85 days and as stated above, really since the market dumped right after the June 20th $117B ATH market cap.

The lowest points since the first week of June after months of sustained upward growth and news. We have had 3 dumpenings down to this range:


BITCOIN: The Forkening......

--

..... has now come and gone (August 1st 2017 Fork date)

--

That was playing havoc with the markets, we know this.

-- There is a lot of jostling going on still now, 20 days post Forkening for this one reason alone, adding the extra volatility to the markets.


Like the last few weeks when I updated this series..... the markets gained some similar recovery for a day and then crashed again.... what are we going to see the next 24 hours - 72 hours??????

We have been in steady bull uptrend the last week as I mentioned above.

-- Never a dull day in Crypto LOL.

Markets Previously Topped out June 20th / 10 pm EST at $116B:

-- with that day being the previous ATH ( All Time High )

You can see the weeks of that proof here in this chart where we topped out at $116.5B on June 20th around 10 pm EST / 6 pm EST. I have shared this chart a few times now:

I'm buying Bitcoin today, it seems altcoins will be pumped for a while so I'm increasing my holdings ahead of the Segwit implementation.

Sounds smart.

Oooooo well ok. I am hodling on some BTC, ETH, BQX and STEEM and I usually day trade with whatever looks hot or anything with any juicy news coming out, however today I am sitting now with XRP, MTL and some EDG. The Edgeless I might think about holding for a bit longer as they have constant tweets about their work and they have a new beta platform online casino coming out sometime :D:D:D
Oh yeah I am also in the midst of trading about half TenX or PAY into maybe either STRAT or OMG or even maybe CVC if it drops a little more and the other half into a Long term hold :)

I interestijg ang so informative.thank for shared@barrydutton

i am buying bitcoin because the price will go more up after the hardfork in novembre

Thanks for the comments today!

Nice post. Same thoughts here. The decision to buy a coin should be based on real analysis of the coin. I found that people keep buying coins without have any knowledge of them. This is considered high risk. I found this great website: https://www.coincheckup.com I'm using this site that gives in depth reports on every tradable cryto in the market.
