deVere Crypto adds two new cryptocurrencies – in the current bear market

By George Prior

Ethereum Classic and ZCash have been added to deVere Crypto, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, due to strong client demand.

Users of the trailblazing crypto app, launched by deVere Group earlier this year, can now also buy, sell, store, and exchange Ethereum Classic (ETC) and ZCash (ZEC), alongside Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Dash (DASH), Monero (XMR) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Of the latest additions to deVere Crypto, Nigel Green, founder and CEO of deVere Group, comments: “Whilst it remains the dominant digital currency, with currently about 58 per cent of the total market capitalization, there is much more to the crypto-verse than just Bitcoin.

“Each different cryptocurrency offers unique properties, strengths and uses for investors.

“There’s been strong demand among existing and potential investors for both Ethereum Classic and ZCash and we’re delighted today that clients can now trade and store them on the app.”

He continues: “We are committed to expanding our suite of carefully analysed digital coins for two main reasons.

“First, clients are increasingly demanding a truly diversified crypto portfolio as the sector grows and moves ever more into mainstream finance.

“And second, cryptocurrencies, as an asset class, are not going away. It is a burgeoning sector and is playing a larger and larger role within the global financial system.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that in today’s digitalized, globalized world, the demand for digital, global currencies in some form – whether it be the biggest ones of today or not – is only set to grow.  From now on, there will always be widely-used non-fiat money.

“Therefore, it’s important to give clients the widest selection of the key, proven coins.”

Last week, deVere Group announced that it has more than 15,000 deVere Crypto clients since the app was launched in February.  “We’re delighted with the strong and overwhelmingly positive reception it has received from clients and industry professionals alike,” noted the CEO.

Bitcoin is, once again, showing remarkable resilience, yet the broader crypto market is currently in bear territory.  With this in mind, Mr Green has suggested it was important to look at the bigger picture and to see the potential buying opportunities.

He said recently: ““For many investors, volatility is used as a welcome buying opportunity.

“They look at the bigger picture. They believe that cryptocurrencies are the future of money.

“Such investors also appreciate that institutional and regulatory support is increasingly inevitable and could happen sooner than many previously expected.

“In addition, they are seeing for themselves how more and more global financial institutions, major corporations and household name investors are now working with cryptocurrencies and blockchain, the technology that underpins them.”

He added: “Increasingly, savvy investors are aware that what is taking place is a maturation of a relatively new market – hence the highs and lows almost every other week.

“As such, they understand that they either have to buy and take a long-term approach – as is typically the best approach with almost all investing – or be prepared to miss the boat.”

“As anyone who has analysed the sector in recent years will know, the dips and peaks are a usual part of the cryptocurrency market.”

The Meetings of the Central Banks Are in the Focus of Attention

by JustForex

Yesterday, the US dollar weakened against the currency majors. The dollar index (#DX) closed the trading session in the negative zone (-0.42%). This is due to the release of weak statistics. In August, the producer price index in the US fell by 0.1%. Experts forecasted the indicator at +0.2%. This report lowered the expectations of financial market participants regarding the increase in the key interest rate of the Fed in December this year.

Today, the meetings of the Bank of England and the ECB will be the key events. It is expected that regulators will leave interest rates unchanged. We recommend paying attention to the comments by representatives of the Central Banks. The escalation of trade conflict between the US and China continues. It became known that on Friday, the US President Donald Trump could impose new duties on imports of Chinese goods.

The “black gold” prices have started declining after the rapid growth at the beginning of this week. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing a mark of $ 69.80 per barrel.

Market Indicators

Yesterday, the major US stock indices showed mixed results: #SPY (+0.02%), #DIA (+0.08%), #QQQ (-0.29%).

At the moment, the 10-year US government bonds yield is at the level of 2.96-2.97%.

The news feed on 13.09.2018:

– Bank of England interest rate decision at 14:00 (GMT+3:00);
– ECB interest rate decision at 14:45 (GMT+3:00);

EURUSD: The euro strengthened ahead of the ECB meeting

By Gabriel Ojimadu, Alpari

Previous:

On Wednesday the 12th of September, trading on the euro closed up. The dollar was under pressure amid the strengthening of the Canadian dollar. Market participants reacted to officials’ sentiment regarding the imminent conclusion of a new trilateral NAFTA free trade agreement between the US, Canada, and Mexico. In addition, US President Donald Trump said in the evening that negotiations with Canada were going well, and that Canada wants to conclude a new agreement. The euro recovered to 1.1650, after which the pair moved to the consolidation phase.

Day’s news (GMT+3):

  • 9:00 Germany: CPI (Aug).
  • 9:45 France: CPI (Aug).
  • 10:15 Switzerland: producer and import prices (Aug).
  • 14:00 UK: BoE asset purchase facility, BoE interest rate decision, BoE minutes.
  • 14:45 Eurozone: ECB interest rate decision.
  • 15:30 Eurozone: ECB monetary policy statement and press conference.
  • 15:30 Canada: new housing price index (YoY).
  • 15:30 US: initial jobless claims (Sep 7), CPI (Aug).
  • 21:00 US: monthly budget statement (Aug).

Fig 1. EURUSD hourly chart.

Current situation:

The lateral trend from 1.1650 has been underway for 14 hours. At the time of writing, the euro is at 1.1624 (1.1635 on the chart).

Market participants have their attention focused on the ECB and BoE meetings, as well as Draghi’s press conference. The ECB is not expected to raise rates. Draghi said that rates will remain low for a long time. All eyes and ears will be on Draghi’s announcement.

The euro may fall under pressure after the BoE’s decision to keep interest rates at the same level. At this time, we should monitor the breakdown of votes on the decision. Any changes will cause sharp price fluctuations on GBP pairs, and will affect the euro/dollar via the euro/pound pair.

I forecast a drop this week to 1.1576, and on Friday to 1.1530. The forecast does not take into account the fundamental data, therefore deviations are possible. The support is at the 45th degree – 1.1596, resistance – 1.1666.

Trading Cryptocurrencies: To Win, You Must Know Where You’re Wrong

See how Elliott wave analysis helped traders reduce risk in Litecoin’s recent price action

By Elliott Wave International

Dear readers, if a story about the get-rich-quick promises of cryptocurrency trading is what you seek, keep on moving.

Rest assured, that story exists. It’s all over the interwebs, in one form or another: jazzy headlines about average Joe So-and-So turning $1k into $1 million overnight in the crypto markets.

We’re not saying it couldn’t happen. People do get lucky now and again. It’s just that, we’re not in the business of luck. We’re in the business of using objective analysis to identify high-confidence trade setups in the world’s leading financial markets, inscrutable as they may be.

Sure, it doesn’t have the same ring to it. But it’s honest. And that’s invaluable in a hyper-speculative market filled with unscrupulous coin-makers looking to take advantage of unsuspecting traders.

For more, we turn open the pages of our newly minted report Crypto Trading Guide: 5 simple Strategies to Catch the Next Opportunity, where our Cryptocurrency Pro Service analyst, Jim Martens, extols the singular benefit of Elliott wave analysis — its ability to limit your trading risk:

“When considering a trade, you always want to answer this question first: ‘Where will I be wrong?’

“I want to know that risk. For example, a market has been falling and you’re expecting a low. All of a sudden, we see what looks like a five-wave advance on a 60-minute chart. At this point, should you take action?

“No, you should wait for a three-wave decline, which would be the correction of that advance.”

180905Nico1

“Based on one rule of the Wave Principle, I know where this count becomes wrong. [Remember from Chapter 1:] Wave (2) cannot retrace more than 100% of wave (1).

“So, I draw a line at the start of wave 1. If the decline surpasses that level, I know that my count is incorrect.

“Elliott wave analysis is one of few methodologies that give us an absolute number for our protective stop.”

In other words, Elliott waves allow you to identify specific points of ruin for every trade before you even start. To see how this plays out in a real-world market, we turn our attention to the August 1 Cryptocurrency Pro Service coverage of Litecoin.

There, our analysis outlined a bullish, 3rd-wave rally — noting, however, that any upside move was contingent on wave 2 not retracing more than 100% of wave 1, just as Jim explained in the excerpt above.

From the August 1 Cryptocurrency Pro Service intraday forecasts:

74.50 should therefore be considered the line in the sand for the bullish count. If breached, we’ll have to adopt a bearish Alternate as we did for Ethereum to allow for lower before wave C of (Y) finds its bottom.”

180905Nico2

A few days later, Litecoin prices did, in fact, fall below the 74.50 handle, signaling a resumption of the downtrend. On August 5, our Cryptocurrency Pro Service made the necessary, bearish adjustment:

“74.50 hung in there tenaciously for a while, but was ultimately violated in the weekend’s trading. As discussed Friday, that has called up the incomplete wave C Alternate count. “

180905Nico3

The next chart captures the rapid descent that followed, bringing Litecoin to an eight-month low in early August before stopping.

180905Nico4

We understand the pressure to leap headlong into the blockchain breach is intense. If you subtract the numbers “inflated through fake and deceptive activities,” the average daily trading volume of crypto exchange markets is around $6 billion (Aug. 28 CNN).

But we believe there’s a way to be smart and discerning about where to leap. With 1600 cryptocurrencies and counting, that starts with choosing only the most reputable markets with proven track records and transparency. Chances are, it won’t be named after a comic book character or piece of fruit. Our Cryptocurrency Pro Service tracks the top three cryptos: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.

The second requirement of a high-confidence cryptocurrency trade is knowing when your trade is wrong. This is where Elliott wave analysis is in a league unto its own.

Our free report “Crypto Trading Guide: 5 Simple Strategies to Catch the Next Opportunity” explains more. Each chapter shows you the power of the Elliott Wave Principle to explain some of the biggest recent moves in Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum — and how you can apply this method in your own trading, going forward.
