Charts
Was listening to a crypto podcast last night (Bad crypto on spotify - highly recommend) and they had an investment guru (with very good track record) who is very bullish on crypto an bitcoin.
Hew said that charts are pretty useless at this stage as BTC and all cryptos don't behave the same as traditional financial instruments. I tend to agree with him to some extent although I do see some behavioural response to moving averages (typical in a trending market) but some of the overbought/oversold oscillator indicators (MACD/RSI) I'd take with a pinch of salt and just gauge strength/weakness and momentum by size & strength of candles. Also ignore 'divergence' in a trending market.
BTC seems to be driven by mass crowd mania at the moment so I'm £ cost averaging whatever the price is and pumping alts. Pullbacks seem to be shallow and can be tied to fib levels & support resistance but as fas as technical analysis is concerned this appears to be a completely different animal.
