I'm really sorry for the late reply and just excited to see the interest to this thread.
What's your take on altcoin though? Does it follow bitcoin or will it start to de-couple as well?
The reason why I ask this is because if it will just follow bitcoin then I don't think you need extra effort to do your analysis on them. Much better to focus solely on bitcoin as this is what everyone wanted here, to see such predictions like yours. You just don't know, maybe you have a following here and waiting for your bitcoin prediction only because obviously, you are really doing a good job.
Hello Jating,
I appropriate your contributing here
Alternative coin's price usually follow the bitcoin's price and sometimes the opposite. To make it clear if you see a very high amount of ATR/Dominance on bitcoin's price usually it's not a good time to start trading on altcoins because if the spike happen usually FUD and some emotional movements will happen after that. and people won't trade altcoins that much in this case. relation between bitcoin price and the altcoin price is just like the relation between father and son, Sometime they obey and sometimes they won't. But if the father gets sad the son will be angry and if the father gets happy the son will enjoy. That's why after the bitcoin price dump many traders stooped trading on altcoins.
You can check the dominance here:
https://cryptocurrencyfacts.com/what-is-bitcoin-dominance/I would advise that you just do bitcoin predictions for now. Stay away from alternative coins, otherwise you will need to open a thread on that board. I don't know how 'difficult' it will be for you to track Altcoins movements are there are thousands of them literally.
I will agree with what the other posters are saying, bitcoin is what members here wanted to see. Of course there are risk, but if they see someone making good at technical analysis, then you don't know, maybe they are going to look at your predictions before they make up their mind on investing or trading.
Hello btc_angela,

Yes, due to the reason I explained above I agree with you right now. I was planing on altcoins because I was expecting to see a lower ATR and a better situation. But, Right now I changed my mind.
Yeah I'd stick to Bitcoin. As it is, TA is contentious in a market like Bitcoin, with a lot of people still pointing out that it's not as big or as decentralised a market as its proponents would like to believe. I tend to agree it's not as big as the numbers are putting it, but I also believe the hidden data (OTC, P2P) is also more than able to make up for all the wash trading that's inside the data.
I digress.
You can argue about the validity of data from BTC/USD markets. But arguing against validity of alts is much, much harder. You also need a new thread in the relevant section for that!
Hello buwaytress,
Thank you for your participation here.
Yes, good point.
And the thing about the altcoins is I prefer to watch the fundamental new as well. Since you only trade on one market, BTC/USDT for example, You can always check the news from reliable resources while none can check every single news from altcoins, at last I can't. I prefer to play on a field I know.
