ETHEUR: UpdateWe had massive moves in DAO and ETH pairs today, due to the news regarding a problem with the code in the DAO.
Apparently, the uptrend is still in place, but there is a lot of fear in the air right now. This is the right enviroment to buy dips, and as you can see the support is holding for now (see green triangle and the dashed lines).
Technically speaking, I think the uptrend isn't ready to resume in full force, since we don't have sufficient time spent at these upper echelons (can't blame me for using the term :) ) to prove that there is re-accumulation before uptrend continuation as per the 'Time at mode' rules.
That being said, for as long as we're making 1 new high every 5 bars, we're technically in an uptrend, and for as long as the red dashed speed line holds, bulls are still present in this pair. For now, I reccomend holding ETH if you own any, if you were margin called out of your positions (like I was), sadly you're out with some loss. This brings me to the topic of leverage and crypto trading. If you consider the average volatility these instruments have, paired with the exchanges' problems, right at the worst possible time, you can conclude that is better to just buy the coins with cash, withdraw from the exchange and wait to sell when your price targets are hit, which will force you to adopt smaller position sizes, and trade from a longer term perspective.
I hope you found this useful, I'll keep updating this chart once I see clear signs of the uptrend resuming.

ETHBTC: BTC rally should be topping soonETH has plenty of upside left, we arrived at a very significant support level here in the ETHBTC pair, we can try a long entry (I'm already in it). Downside risk is 26%, but potential upside is up to 159.67% so the trade off is worth it.
This is a riskier trade since we're entering at support, ahead of confirmation, but the USD or EUR pairs are currently in an uptrend, and we're observing a retracement in BTCUSD/CNY pairs currently, so we have decent odds here.
If you're less risk averse than me, you can shrink the stop loss distance here, and go with a stop at 0.0197.

DAO and BTC - Hedging positionsBitcoin up 11.15%
$DAO down 5.16%
Indicating strength in $DAO.
This can be used to hedge your
Bitcoin long position.
$DAO has a reverse relation with $BTC.
If Bitcoin goes down a bit, $DAO
will go up more aggressively.
----------------------------------------------------------------
At this moment $DAO has not been on the market.
But it seems like it does have an inverse relation with $BTC.
$DAO might be usefull as a hedge but I am not sure how
competent the team of $DAO is.
There is an article on coindesk.com with the title
"Will The DAO Become Ethereum's Mt Gox?"
You can look it up. The headline seems very weird to.
Too much speculation. Coindesk.com was hyping $DAO before it got in
the market. Made me think that the coindesk.com team bought $DAO.
If they try to manipulate the market with that headline to buy cheap ?
We migght never find out.
This is just an analysis. Consider the risks on every trade
LSK/ETH TRADING PAIRA Ethereum base market and two new trading pairs were released by Poloniex yesterday - POLONIEX:DAOETH & POLONIEX:LSKETH . This offers an interesting opportunity for Ethereum holders who want to invest in LSK but do not wish to pay for the double conversion fee of exchanging ETH into BTC, and paying another fee to buy LSK. A smart move by the exchange operators to keep clients happy and trading volume up. LSK/ETH could be a great tool for investors to gauge market dynamics while also providing information for trading strategies moving forward.
Today's live interview with recently appointed Lisk senior advisor Charles Hoskinson revealed a lot about the potential of Lisk for developers, users and investors alike. The price of Lisk went up about 8% during the interview, and price seems to have stabilized so far, hovering in the low 80k range. www.youtube.com
Expect this new trading pair to help with the next Lisk bull run and expect to see wild spikes of volatility in this small but emerging LSK/ETH market.
ETHBTC Update 2The DAO threw a monkey wrench into my predictions. (Actually, I haven't kept up with the latest cryptocurrency news and was completely ignorant of the existence of the DAO in my previous charts.) It would appear that the demand for DAO has been enough to delay lower ETH prices. Glad I didn't short ETH...
