Crypto Sentiment Score | ItsCryptex | July 18th

Score today
Bulls 7 | Neutral 7 | Bears 5

Summary for today:

2 warning signals are Ripple and Ethereum, they are continuing their bear run despite increased volume and better Bitcoin prices.

Bitcoin is leading the way, and Cardano is leading the way of alts, sentiment today is bullish neutral, and if you have alts that didn’t make an upward movement yet and are trading at good buy support levels, it is probably a good time to take on some risk currently and take at least short term profits. I can only repeat myself though, Ripple, which normally has been one of the first alts to run bullish on new bull runs, is still trading in a bearish channel.

I myself will target 20% profits in this run.

Not financial advice, doing this for fun a good one

#WhyAmIdoingthis?

Just like in stock trading, where you use leading indicators such as 10 year yield bond rates, transport sector indicators and volatility indexes to suggest upcoming market movement, we need similar indicators for the crypto markets.
These indicators are not just used to say, ok its time to buy ADA or NEO NOW!!! No they are meant to help you to give you technical support when deciding to trade alts in top 50 range in general, perhaps even in the top 100 range. Again this is a trading technique not an investment technique. (trading - take short swings, investing - do research on projects and hold them over the long run, plus taking profits on bull waves) Trade can generate funds, which you may decide to invest on in larger long term investments schemese. Well this is my philosophy at least.

More over these indicators help you to make a decision to move out of a trade and into the safety of cash, even though our greedy mind is telling us - "But what if I’m wrong and it all moves up" you need technical and market indicators to tell you, its enough for now, take the profit and move into Bitcoin or into asset pegged crypto like Tether, or into the safety of cash, depending on your decision what is the safest move at that time for you and your portfolio.

Over the past 4 months I have followed the alt charts as much as possible, trying to take advantage of the alt upswing, here is what I learned - I will use ADA, NEO, NANO, IOTA, EOS, ETH, ARK, DASH, BTCUSD as altcoin indicators. If the majority of signs point to bears or bulls I will act on swing trading accordingly
