Also interesting is that it flagged my more significant consolidation breakout algorithm on the daily time frame.  The other time this flagged for XRP was in Nov 2013.

Looks like XRP is finally moving...

Just got to take out that previous high now. Hopefully the price increase is stable this time and doesn't give itself back in a few days.

Just noticed I have a tentative buy signal on XRP (last time on BTC).  First in a while.  Will be interesting to see if it works out.  It still needs until end of day to confirm though.

Looks like Jed is going for a direct replacement of Ripple with Stellar:

Bah, the signal didn't confirm as the price went too low.  Disappointing but I guess it makes sense with Stellar just being announced.

Another arb opportunity.  Bitfinex is pricing below $640 while Coinbase and Bitstamp are above it.  Usually Bitfinex is about $10 above the other exchanges.

Bitfinex is almost $10 below Coinbase now.

Tech Trader's bitcoin dislocation trade worked out.  Personally, I'm holding longer, but it's a nice first trade for the automation on Bitcoin.

are you using TRIN as part of your algo to determine the automated bottom?

Please at least post a chart and explanation.  Otherwise it's hard to evaluate.

Bitcoin from yesterday retested the low $600s this morning.  Got out and re-added again around $575.  Will add more at the lower trendlines if support at $550 breaks.

Arbitrage opportunity.  Bitfinex has bitcoin at $604 while Coinbase and Bitstamp have it around $585.  I just tried it and it works.  Sent the bitcoin I bought from Coinbase to Bitfinex and sold it for $600

Bitcoin dipping to $550.  I added some more around $555.


I'm thinking it'll form a reverse head-and-shoulders on the daily chart.

Added back a little into XRP around .0042 yesterday, keeping enough to average down if things go south again.   The downtrend has been broken on longer timeframes as well.

Starting to look like XRP will not have its feared sell off.  Pretty disappointing.  Watching for the next low is placed to confirm the new uptrend.

Looks like something is starting.  16M XRP sell just went through and everything started trending down after that.  No panic yet through.

MtGox went bankrupt 4 months ago.  It was a sketchy exchange to begin with (the prices there frequently misaligned with other exchanges).

then again, bitcoin's bid and ask spread is around $20-30 dollars so
technically a regular swing from $600 to $650 is kinda expected

Not really... I'm looking at it right now in Coinbase. Spread is a few
dollars.

Bitcoin is $680 now BTW Tongue

Bitfinex let's you take margin/short/leverage.  Predictious lets you trade
options.

We were just discussing this yesterday. It looks like Nasdaq during the
tech boom. History rhymes... Can you pull up a chart of that?
