Why Holding Your Cryptocurrencies At Top Of The Market Cap is Vital

No doubt the market was indeed bad yesterday it's was a bloody monday. cryptocurrency traders woke up at the virtual bloodbath with over 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap was all in red zone. Through out yesterday every group, forums were all smelling blood. $2000 worth of portfolio is shrinking to about $1000 percent and it keeps going down.

Let me explain why holding coins at the top of the market cap is essential.

Typically in (Fiat) finance, you have to account for inflation. If you are not aware of inflation or what it means, it's a term that describes a supply of money and how more money is added into the economy over time therefore decreasing the value of your money.

For the majority of Crypto, this is the opposite. There is a "finite" amount of coins and thus is deflationary. Deflationary, as you guessed it, is the opposite of inflation. This allows the coins value over time to increase based on demand. As many of us who have watched Bitcoin, ETH, XRP etc rise exponentially over the past 6 months in an explosion, there is only one serious reason for this. Demand has increased world wide.

More people= less coins to go around= increase in value.
As normal as crypto currencies have become for most of us traders, it is still a very shadowy investment to most people. It's not easy to buy for those that are not using computers every day, aside from Coinbase there are very few apps that make it easy to flip back and fourth, BTC value is not something people are automatically aware of and translation from BTC amounts to your countries Currency is always changing, this can be interpreted as instability to some and also confusing.

But this will all change. As this past 6 months has changed. As this past year has changed. Crypto is pushing to infuse itself into common social and cultural means. It is becoming more main stream and it's popping up in business and finance stories world wide. People are becoming millionaires in under a year. This too will all change. Traders will become more educated, markets will become more stable and along with this, the total market cap of Crypto Currencies will continue to increase.

The "Power Coins" are BTC, ETH, XRP and LTC. There are others making an attempt to join that group. You need to own these coins. Dash, Strat, Waves, ZCash among others have sustainable and long and wealthy roads in front of them. I'm a trader and my patience runs thin holding coins that sit still for so long. However holding them at this stage is a must.
I encourage everyone to learn the basic trading skills that are needed to sustain longevity in this cryptoverse. There is simply too much free information out there to be idle. If you continue to rely on other people to tell you what coins to buy, you will continue to have a 50/50 shot at profit.

Happy trading!

Understanding Candlesticks Chart Basics for Newbie Traders

Candlesticks Charts Basics 

Many atimes people get confused about the charts 😏😏 what's all this bars that we are seeing. In a nutshell this trading charts you do see in exchanges otherwise known as candlesticks is a graphical representation of what is happening in the order books (Buy and Sell Order). The price movement you normally see in the order books is what is reflecting on the charts of a particular cryptocurrency pair.

On the chart you see green and red bars it is called candlesticks what you need to know about it is simply this: the green candlesticks represent buying while the red ones represent selling for you to be able to understand where the green candlesticks starts from is just taking a close look at it.

When traders are buying the green candlesticks start reading from the bottom to the top so when people are buying you see the green candlestick growing up, showing increase in the price which is often referred to as bull or bullish meaning positive price movement.

But when people are selling the candle stick turns to red and start reading from top to bottom, going down and showing decrease in the price referred to as a bear or bearish that is a negative price movement.

Each candlesticks represent time intervals for both buying and selling. The way Poloniex and other exchanges like Bittrex arranges their own chart gives you an oppurtunity to see how a cryptocurrency pair have been faring for some period of time. If you go to the chart area of the exchange you are using you should be able to see a zoom option that allows you to see the chart of the last 6hrs, 24hrs, 2 days, 4 days, 2 weeks, 1 month and all time.

Assuming you want to see what happens in the chart let say the trading details for the past one month just click on one month in the zoom option and it will give you an overview of what has happen for the past one month like this one below.

Candlesticks charts showing upward trend

Using the chart in the picture above which is a one month chart with a 4 hours candlesticks you can see that there's an upward trend on it, the chart alone can go a long way to help you in your decision making.

The candlesticks in chart like I said represent intervals if you see the picture below I clicked on the one month chart with a one day candlesticks meaning it gives me a daily interval of what has been happening for the past one month so the candlesticks you see in the picture below both the green and red ones they represent 1 day each if you count it the total sum of the candlesticks will amount to 30 which is a representative of one month.

1 month charts with 1 day candlesticks intervals 

Likewise if you want to see what has happened more than a one year or maybe when the coin was launched it will also be indicated on the chart you can use the Scroller to zoom and adjust to a particular point that you want to analyze.

It is in cryptocurrency DNA to fluctuate hardly before you see a stable coin because the price is basically determined by buyers and sellers so there's this zig zag motion that you see in the chart it's called volatility and beneath that volatility is where the money is and how you make profit. So been able to interpret and understand the chart can give you an idea of when to buy and when to sell to make profit which is a difference between your entry point and exit point.

This is basically what you need to know about the chart if ou want to dig deep in to the advance part then you can make use of the resources I have provided below

Ultimate Buying Strategy for Cryptocurrency Traders

One of the biggest question many newbie traders do ask me is when is the right time to buy a particular altcoin pair. Buy low sell high is often the most common tip you do hear in cryptocurrency trading but many still find it difficult to apply real-time. 90% of people do the exact opposite buying into hype.

One thing have learnt in my crypto trading journey so far is never to allow your emotions run you over in trading its is the worst thing that can happen to a trader. To save us time I will be sharing with you this important tip how and when is the right time to buy so let's get started.

Buy at Pre pump price, pretty simple anytime a cryptocurrency goes up over a short period of time that's a red flag, it's a warning that there are too many buyers and the pressure is too much as seen in the case of the newly launched crypto IOTA typically what happen in the chart is you see an upside down V

Like the saying of Warren Buffen buy when people are scared and sell when people are greedy. Whenever you noticed more than three break out then it's likely to begin fading off that's the right time to buy and it's good to buy at specific intervals. Buy some amount and wait for let's say an hour or two if the price is still going down you buy more remember you don't dump all your money in one trade so plan out your trade before pulling the trigger.

After you might have accumulated your desired quantity, what you want to do is to wait for the price to begin to rise up and when you noticed it has increased over a significant value then you can begin to sell in parabolic moves meaning you take out some profit. I think it's good to scale out of a trade so you don't have to regret when the price drops.

So that's it remember never invest what you can't afford to loose.

Hope this helps.
