Bitcoin Surged in April – Will the Rally Continue?

Is the Bitcoin bear market over?

When Bitcoin reached a high of $19,343 on December 16, 2017, investors were of the mind that sky was the limit. What happened next was the biggest reality check the cryptocurrency has ever seen. From mid-December through essentially late-March, Bitcoin’s price plummeted some 65%, and with the benefit of hindsight, one could argue that it displayed traits commonly found in equity bear markets: a steep, scary drop, followed by a dead cat bounce (February), followed by another down leg. Bear markets often deplete investors’ hopes in cruel ways, and for many, Bitcoin’s bear did just that.

But maybe the dark times are over. One could argue that since late March, Bitcoin’s price has found a support level, moving in a sideways trading range of about $6,600 to $7,000. But something interesting happened on April 11, when the price of Bitcoin broke out to the upside and has continued to make strides higher to date. The question is, is Bitcoin officially in recovery mode, meaning that the rally could continue??

Some technical traders and analysts are now keeping an eye on the 50-day moving average of about $8,600, labeling that price as a key support. The 150-day moving average is higher, at about $9,700, which could also define when Bitcoin could earnestly charge through those levels if it continues to breakout. Tickeron’s AI sees something else.

Tickeron’s Artificial Intelligence Sees Bullish Possibilities in Bitcoin Trading Patterns

Tickeron’s AI confirmed a “Wedge Falling” Bullish pattern for Bitcoin (BTC.X) in mid-April and thinks with greater than 25% confidence that the price of Bitcoin could surge to around $11,500 if the pattern plays out. For investors, that could mark an almost +20% surge from the current level of ~$9,600. On the chart below, you can see the AI’s thinking and details about the pattern formation:

If Hedge Funds are Using AI to Invest, Why Shouldn’t You?

Some of the world’s biggest financial institutions have devoted multi-million dollar budgets to developing algorithms that can find patterns in the market, identify trends, and perform automated trading designed to take advantage of even the smallest price movements. The AI revolution is so big that as it stands today, the world’s five biggest hedge funds all use systems-based approaches to trade financial markets.Indeed, quantitative trading hedge funds now manage $918 billion (according to HFR), which amounts to 30% of the $3 trillion hedge fund industry – a percentage continues to grow with each year that passes.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Where smaller, more volatile companies can placate shareholders with higher returns, larger companies often use dividend payouts to entice new investors and hold their existing ones. These low-risk options may not work for every investment approach, but dividend-producing stocks can offer great benefits under the right circumstances – especially for portfolios built for the long-term.Beyond the ability to rely on these semi-regular payouts as an income stream – a strategy favored by retirees – dividends are an excellent vehicle for compounding earnings through reinvestment.
