Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: CHZ, VET, CELR – January 28 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Chiliz (CHZ)

Chiliz CHZ is the leading digital currency for sports and entertainment, powering the world’s first blockchain-based fan engagement and rewards platform, Socios.com. Here, fans can purchase and trade branded fan tokens as well as having the ability to participate, influence, and vote in club-focused surveys and polls. Founded in Malta in 2018, the company’s vision is to bridge the gap between active and passive fans, providing millions of sports fanatics with a fan token that acts as a tokenised share of influence.

CHZ Price Analysis

At the time of writing, CHZ is ranked the 78th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.1766. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

CHZ‘s stunning rally to $0.4931 plummeted over 60% during January to sweep consolidation lows at $0.2055. This could set the stage for a new bullish cycle to begin. 

The price is currently balancing around the monthly open. A quick stop run into support beginning near $0.1722 could set the stage for a move into the daily gap beginning near $0.1675, potentially reaching resistance near $0.1944.

A sweep of the highs near $0.2122, followed by a sharp sell-off, could hint that bulls are preparing to run the swing high near $0.2257. This run could find the next resistance around $0.2466 in the candle wick that created the monthly high. If the market remains bullish, the price will likely reach into possible resistance near $0.2638.

2. VeChain (VET)

VeChain VET is a blockchain-powered supply chain platform. VeChain aims to use distributed governance and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to create an ecosystem that solves some of the major problems with supply chain management. The platform uses two in-house tokens, VET and VTHO, to manage and create value based on its VeChainThor public blockchain. The idea is to boost the efficiency, traceability, and transparency of supply chains while reducing costs and placing more control in the hands of individual users.

VET Price Analysis

At the time of writing, VET is ranked the 35th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.05302. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

VET‘s 75% move during late-October ran into resistance near $0.1570, at the 27% extension of the Q2 swing.

An old high and the 18 EMA have provided support near $0.06595 and might give support again on a retest. This area also has confluence with the 50% and 61.8% retracements of November’s swing.

Just below, near $0.05293, the 61.8% retracement of the current Q4 swing might also mark an area of support. 

If the market remains bearish, $0.04862 is unlikely to be revisited but could see interest from bulls during any deeper retracement.

An area near $0.07216, at the 50% extension of the summer’s swing, could see some profit-taking if bulls break the current resistance near $0.06178. Above, old consolidations near $0.06325 and $0.06582 might also provide some resistance before another round of price discovery.

2. Celer Network (CELR)

The Celer Network CELR is a smartly designed layer-2 scaling solution that provides off-chain transaction handling. The Celer platform offers fast, simple and secure off-chain transactions for both payments and smart contracts. The project was among the first to be developed using the Substrate framework and is part of the Polkadot ecosystem. As to the overall goal of the network, its founders envisioned unleashing the full potential of blockchain and revolutionising Dapps with more efficient and productive outputs.

CELR Price Analysis

At the time of writing, CELR is ranked the 155th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.05093. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

CELR‘s November spike retraced near $0.05141 into the consolidation that began the impulse before bouncing to $0.05366. 

This consolidation could provide support again, although bears would first have to push the price through possible support near $0.04945. The market’s structure may be shifting bearish, with $0.04825 likely to provide some support if this is the case. A sustained bearish move could reach the swing low near $0.04753 before finding support near $0.04536.

However, the bullish higher-timeframe trend may prevail, with relatively equal highs near $0.05920 potentially providing an attractive target to lure the price over the September monthly high. If so, the price could reach for the midpoint of the massive wick near $0.06577.

Top 3 Coins To Watch Today: DOGE, CHZ, KSM – August 19 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin DOGE is based on the popular “Doge” internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. The open-source digital currency was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon, and Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia, and was forked from Litecoin in December 2013. Dogecoin’s creators envisaged it as a fun, light-hearted cryptocurrency that would have greater appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience since it was based on a dog meme. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has posted several tweets on social media that Dogecoin is his favourite coin.

DOGE Price Analysis

At the time of writing, DOGE is ranked the 7th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.4403. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

DOGE formed relatively equal lows near A$0.3468 after dropping over 75% during May. These lows could provide the target for another leg down, possibly finding support in the monthly gap of around A$0.3257. 

If this sweep of the A$0.3200 swing lows occurs, more aggressive bulls might begin bidding the weekly level near the swing low around A$0.3144. Should the market take a more bullish turn, the level just below near A$0.3027 could provide some short-term support.

The steep drop left large areas of inefficient price action, making the daily gap up to A$0.4962 likely to be touched or filled. A sustained move through this resistance could visit a significant area on the monthly and weekly chart near A$0.5422.

2. Chiliz (CHZ)

Chiliz CHZ is the leading digital currency for sports and entertainment, powering the world’s first blockchain-based fan engagement and rewards platform, Socios.com. Fans can purchase and trade branded fan tokens as well as having the ability to participate, influence, and vote in club-focused surveys and polls. Founded in Malta in 2018, the company’s vision is to bridge the gap between the active and passive fan, providing millions of sports fanatics with a fan token thath acts as a tokenised share of influence.

CHZ Price Analysis

At the time of writing, CHZ is ranked the 59th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.4709. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

CHZ’s stunning rally to A$0.9941 plummeted over 60% during May to sweep consolidation lows at A$0.2955. This could set the stage for a new bullish cycle to begin. 

The price is currently balancing around the June monthly open. A quick stop run into support beginning near A$0.3682 could set the stage for a move into the daily gap beginning near A$0.3465, potentially reaching resistance near A$0.3544.

A sweep of the highs near A$0.4822, followed by a sharp sell-off, could hint that bulls are preparing to run the swing high near A$0.5127. This run could find the next resistance around A$0.5366 in the candle wick that created the monthly high. If the market remains bullish, the price will likely reach into possible resistance near A$0.5938.

3. Kusama (KSM)

Kusama KSM is an experimental blockchain platform that is designed to provide a massively interoperable and scalable framework for developers. Kusama is built on Substrate, a blockchain building kit developed by Parity Technologies. Kusama has almost the same codebase as Polkadot, one of the most successful interoperable blockchains. The platform is designed to provide a testbed for developers looking to innovate and deploy their own blockchain, and can be used as a preparatory network before launching on Polkadot, though many projects opt to stick with Kusama for their final product.

KSM Price Analysis

At the time of writing, KSM is ranked the 50th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$414.67. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

May started a gradual 77% decline in KSM‘s price. The move into June swing high saw a sharp jump in price, showing that some support exists near A$231.

A sweep of the most recent swing lows into possible support beginning near A$398 could lead to a rally over the monthly open. This rally would likely sweep the swing high into the resistance near A$428. 

This potential bullish move could continue through the relatively equal swing highs near A$439 – but is likely to find some resistance in the weekly level around A$453.

Continued bearishness in the crypto markets might push the price to fill the weekly gap down to A$401. This drop would sweep the stops under the monthly low and potentially mark a new accumulation zone for the next bullish cycle.

Where to Buy or Trade Altcoins?

These coins have high liquidity on Binance Exchange, so that could help with trading on AUD/USDT/BTC pairs. And if you’re looking at buying and HODLing cryptos, then Swyftx Exchange is an easy-to-use popular choice in Australia.

Sam’s Crypto HODL List – May 2021

Following on from my article about 5 Crypto Coins That Could Have a Great 2021, I’ve had a lot of questions lately about what cryptos I like at the moment. So here is the shortlist, and the reasons why I like them.

Disclaimer: Before you continue reading, please note that I am not a financial advisor, nor do not recommend you buy any of these cryptos mentioned below. I also change my positions constantly and may or may not be holding these coins. This is just a list of those coins which I like at the moment and providing some commentary for educational purposes only to help people learn about these exciting projects. For the latest coin prices see the cryptos page.


Bitcoin

BTC / Rank #1 / Price A$51,000

BTC is the first cryptocurrency and the godfather driving the market. Over the years, I’ve learned that it is foolish not to have some BTC in the portfolio, because it tends to act independently to the other cryptocurrencies. What percentage of BTC of the total portfolio is totally up to you, something around 50% is not unusual to see.

With its inelastic supply and growing demand, it’s hard not to see continued upside as it averages around 200% per year over the past 10 years. We’re also seeing lots of institutional money flowing into BTC as big companies add BTC to their balance sheets as a “hedge” and “store of value”.

I would also say that there is also speculation that BTC may eventually replace the US Dollar and become unit of account for the worldwide economy. Could we be comparing the price of goods in Satoshi’s in future years to come?


Ethereum

ETH / Rank #2 / Price A$3,800

While Bitcoin is seen as a “store of value”, Ethereum is powering the new crypto economy. Bitcoin currently has scaling and environmental issues while Ethereum is quickly evolving to address those issues.

As a computer programmer myself, as soon as I heard “Ethereum is programmable money”, my eyes opened wide and I saw the potential of cryptocurrencies for the future of the economy.

Ethereum has some very promising use cases especially with Decentralised Finance (DeFi), Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs), and Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs).

Compared to Bitcoin’s 200% average return per year, Ethereum has averaged 400% per year so far and is on target to outperform BTC once again this year.


Binance Coin

BNB / Rank #3 / Price A$550

Binance has evolved into a worldwide cryptocurrency exchange juggernaut since it started in 2017. At the moment, it is the easiest and best place to do your crypto trading. Before it came along, other platforms were terrible and hard to use with high fees.

They are also starting to expand their services into other markets such as DeFi with Binance Smart Chain, crypto loans, and crypto debit cards coming to Australia later this year.

It’s crazy to think that BNB was only $2 back in 2018 and now it is over $600. I can only see upside for Binance as their ecosystem expands rapidly as they buy up big companies such as CoinMarketCap and are set to Acquire 20-30 Crypto Startups Yearly.


Chiliz Coin

CHZ / Rank #59 / Price A$0.48

Chilliz launched in 2020 to power the new sports fan token economy. These tokens act like a royalty program for fans and also can provide other benefits such as voting, connecting fans directly with clubs and players.

Since launching, CHZ has already increased over 7,000% in price and I can only see more upside for the project. My research into this coin revealed that there are currently no major competitors in the space. Their business model also looks quite clever, as they list new tokens (like in the case of UFC) on pre-sale, then the coin is actually added once the partnership is officially approved.

As clubs see the potential to raise funds through this new revenue stream, they will launch their tokens and form partnerships with Chilliz and Socios as a way to not only raise funds but engage with their fans. We’ve already seen big football clubs join such as Manchester City, Barcelona, Juventus and other sports such as UFC and Formula 1.


Chainlink

LINK / Rank #13 / Price A$47

Chainlink is a project that connects real-world data with blockchain data. As a computer programmer, I can see the power of this technology and the need for timely, accurate, and trusted data.

Moving forward I can see a huge demand to sync the real world and the virtual world. This could be something simple like a weather forecast, or more complicated like tokenized partial ownership of real estate.

Together with this and its exceptionally regarded oracles that manage the security and integrity of the network it can only be a very strong “middleman” for the further advancements of blockchain and decentralized finance.


Basic Attention Token

BAT / Rank #72 / Price A$1.26

Basic Attention Token is a decentralized platform built on Ethereum. It rewards you for your attention, if you see an ad, you get paid in BAT through the Brave Browser.

The utility of rewarding people for their attention is quite a powerful concept, especially if you are shown the ads your interested in.

The project is currently advancing by developing a DEX (decentralized exchange) which should add tremendous value to the project’s already 3 million monthly users.


Theta

THETA / Rank #20 / Price A$11

Theta is one of the leading projects that is providing decentraliszed bandwidth through peer-to-peer networking. Other features of Theta include Decentralised Video Streaming, Staking, Theta TFUEL, Guardian Nodes, CDNs, Voting, and more.

As more adoption comes to cryptocurrencies and blockchain, one would assume we will need more bandwidth to support scaling worldwide. Theta software was also included in the new Samsung Galaxy S20 smartphones to assist with video streaming and rewarding watchers with TFUEL tokens.

The hypothesis is that as crypto usage grows, then Theta adoption should grow with it.


Cardano

ADA / Rank #6 / Price A$2.26

Cardano is a decentralized blockchain platform, similar to Ethereum. It’s already a proof-of-stake platform which is more environmentally friendly and has implemented further unique scaling technology.

The project has recently impressed with their global inprovement initiatives such as Bringing Sustainable Internet Connectivity to users in Africa and 5 Million Students In Ethiopia Set To Get National Identity Solution. This might suggest it has a bright future in improving the world with the use of blockchain technology.


Qtum

QTUM / Rank #66 / Price A$20

The QTUM project is a decentralized platform and blockchain similar to Ethereum. Its purpose is not to compete with Bitcoin and Ethereum, but to bridge the gap between them helping scale transactions at low cost.

The project is heavily committed to DeFi and supporting DeFi projects offering $1 million dollars in rewards to developers who build applications using the Qtum blockchain.

Personally, I think Decentralised Finance (DeFi) is going to be a huge disrupt to how we currently do finance worldwide. Frameworks like Ethereum and Qtum, which support DeFi projects can only have an upside in the future as they contribute to the rise of DeFi.


Ripple (XRP)

XRP / Rank #7 / Price A$1.84

Ripple (XRP) is a cryptocurrency platform and blockchain similar to Ethereum. The project is attempting to become the facilitator for global payments between financial institutions.

XRP has had both good and bad press over the years. Initially, the sentiment was very bullish due to the rumors that banks may use it for liquidity and large global transactions. However, since then, it has been involved in lawsuits lessening its appeal.

Recently they announced plans for Ripple To Go Public After Lawsuit Settlement which has shed some light that there may be some potential for a comeback in sentiment. After running crypto news for the past few years I’ve seen that the 2 most popular coins in Australia are DOGE and XRP.


Dogecoin

DOGE / Rank #5 / Price A$0.53

Dogecoin (DOGE) started as a joke when a developer cloned Bitcoin’s code and stuck a dog meme as the logo, back in 2013. Since then it has gained tremendous popularity and it seems you can’t go a single day without seeing that cheeky dog face.

I generally don’t invest in “jokecoins”, also referred to as “shitcoins” that have little to no utility. However, DOGE is an exception, due to its strong social appeal. Its “meme value” is so high within the crypto community and this provides free marketing for the coin.

Back in 2017, I underestimated the power of social media when DOGE was only $0.00023, and this year it almost reached $1 earlier this year – that’s over 400,000% gain in just 3-4 years.

As the crypto market grows and more people join in the frenzy, DOGE could be the one they buy as a speculation. However, I think it will only end badly for those people buying DOGE at all-time high prices, when the market turns, the shitcoins could drop to nothing, only the quality projects will survive long term.


Conclusions

It’s crazy how back in 2016 the prices were so low compared to now. I wonder if we will be shocked again in another 4-5 years from now…
