Perspective:
Kinda Red... Kinda Green This Week on FUD Friday! Just like Christmas! LOL.
It's a mix of about 50/50 in the red and green this FUD Friday.
OK so TWO big Fridays this last few weeks with a lot of green in them! I like to see it. We definitely have been in big recovery the last few days, the total market cap is UP again.... but we have seen losses in the total sector again the last 2 weeks.
When you see dips in coins you like or believe in - fundamentally or otherwise, it is your signal to
Market TLDR Overview lately:
We started seeing a MUCH deeper correction in the markets in December.... just past us now. We had lost nearly 1/6th of total market cap, and the whole market had been basically bleeding out in the red on and off since mid Dec. - aprox. Dec. 21st actually.
3 weeks ago, we dropped from ~$ 630B total crypto market cap to around $570B (- $90B) in about 12 hours and then overnite we dropped below the $520B mark, about 24 hrs after the bleeding started.
It kept dropping with minor upswings the last ~19 days or so.
That means we lost about $110B of cap, in 24 hours. We went from that $630B mark to $514B as I typed this update, 3 weeks ago.
It then dropped further meaning about $135B in losses which sustained in and out over a week or so.
We climbed crazy highs until late Dec. 20th as charts show, when we then hit about 12 days of pre-Christmas blues in the sector losing a ton, and seeing market corrections:
The other day, similar happened.... we had climbed back to recovery levels around $700B...... and then in 2 hours late one night, we lost about $150B. I watched it live.
I bought the dip.
The last year: Always zoom out for perspective:
The last month:
Ups and downs.... but a pattern of higher lows after pullbacks/corrections has emerged. That's healthy.
Newer Steemit/Crypto family:
Many Fridays - Crypto markets often go RED.
Or the gains in the green are small.
It's a trend, just be aware. Remain Calm!
EOS & Bitshares This Week:
-- EOS and BTS (Bitshares) both had another great week despite market corrections!!
-- I wrote about it recently:
-- so I remain solid and happy about those projects.
They are both undervalued, IMHO in many ways and really held up during the Crashenings of the last ~20 days!
-- These are 2 coins/projects/infrastructures/communities that a lot of Steemit users follow, engage with and use.
-- Definitely things for the new user to look into.
Another crazy week in Crypto!
4 Factors to Consider/Watch:
1/ I believe since the Bitcoin chains (yes, you have to include them) is worth so much, and had another crazy week of mooning and breaking huge new ATH's a few times, any loss in total market cap/share for BTC comes from the (2 main / BTC/BCH) Bitcoin chains at the top of the charts.
2/ It shows in the Bitcoin Dominance % at the top of the CoinmarketCap.com page. It's down quite a few % points again this week from my last reports here, 7 days ago, and every Friday.
3/ If you look at the Top 30 or 50 coins in the market, today, a lot of them were in the green, even just a little or with some huge gains, as some money in the space and recent pullbacks has left BTC and went to the Alt Coins, a trend we see all the time. Not today, whole market showing a lot of red and green -- around 50/50 perhaps, as we have said here.
4/ But some things have changed.
These days now, there is a growing trend, the money STAYS in the alt coins, as the "Bitcoin Civil War/Problems" rage on.
Look at their collective gains (say, the green numbers everywhere) as well as the:
-- TOTAL CRYPTO MARKET CAP --- Today at $703B -- .7 TRILLION now in the space!
We have made good gains back quickly the last few days in the $760B range and back to approaching / living in new current ATH's in total market cap of about $760B range -- finding some support in that area on and off the last week.
We have had a couple major corrections and the market has been up and down a LOT the last ~20 days.
Tips:
-- Do your best to remain calm, look at trends and charts for a week, a month and so on.
-- Remain in the game. Do not panic sell or buy ever.
-- Dips are corrections -- not crashes.
-- Only Invest What You Can Afford to Lose and Invest in Projects/People/Crypto You Believe In.
Not Investment Advice / Do Your Own Research Always.
We had another great week in Crypto til a week ago..... but Fridays often mean the market sees red and loses some value.
It also means that the market often can show small gains (in the green) of 0.2 to 3% -- in the green but small so take note of this also.
Just continue to be aware of these trends.
-- TOTAL CRYPTO MARKET CAP --- Today at $703B -- .70 TRILLION now in the space!
It climbed a TON this month but with some deep corrections in the red as we have discussed --- making HUGE new gains and ATH's!!!
The last month as we have discussed, has seen:
Crossing the $630B mark - up and down about 17% in big volatile swings....
Crossing the $830B mark for 2 sharp peaks for ATH's - Jan. 7th and 8th .
Recently dumpening below the $500B / $530B marks and back up - support and consolidation lines for the 1st real time, in ~2 weeks around the $550B mark before finding new highs and support there as stated just above.

Recent Series Updates: (Newest to Oldest)
It was $538B Market Cap after smashing past 400 and 450B inside of a day.... as we said above in the post from ~14D ago.....and Trending Historically is UP! ( recent update factoid quote by myself there)
Perspective, Always I Keep Saying - is Crucial!
When the market dips or gains overall -- always remember BITCOIN (and the related BTC forks) often controls 50% or more of the market -- as the coin with generally the most volume - most worth overall -- and that first mover advantage being first in the space in 2009.
When there is a lot of red in the rest of the market and when a HUGE value coin like BTC is up over 3, 4 or 6% for a day -- it will control a LOT of the market GAINS. And Losses! -- if it is down by larger numbers like that.
Trending UP Long Term! - Perspective = 1-Year Chart:
-- Reminder from CoinMarketCap.com showing the last 1 year of Total Crypto Market Cap:
But it is important to remain consistent and balanced in things, like I always try to do.
--- that is why I will continue to share this message overall -- with all the new people coming to crypto/Steemit daily!
I Repeat the Following Tips!! :
-- General Reminder remains the same, knowing the average trend we often see!!!
-- Do your best to remain calm, look at trends and charts for a week, a month and so on.
-- Remain in the game. Do not panic sell or buy ever.
-- Dips are corrections -- not crashes.
FUD: Fear/Uncertainty/Doubt
FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out
Well, what else can you say really.
It's not for the faint of heart and if you are new, I hope red is your favorite colour........ it happens regularly in the volatile Crypto markets
I wish you the best daily-- and that you have a nice weekend.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways.

thanks for another great posting
Thanks
Hello guys.
Check out my blog where i speak about cryptocurrency and ways of earning them for free
https://steemit.com/@morticon124
Don't spam blogs with generic comments and your links!
sorry man i was just trying to advertise my blog thats it.
Yeah, I know.
Learn now or you will be flagged and damaged, start making decent comments with people about their blog, it is not all about you.
I guess you should have listened to me over the last week eh??
People have flagged you right down.
I entered the market when the cap has probably less than 10 billion. It's just amazing to see the 2017 growth chart. With such rapid transfer of wealth to the cryptocurrencies, I'm sure the government will attempt to try to control it as rapidly as possible.
You are like an OG in Crypto then!!
I guess I entered around that time but took awhile to start really charting and figuring the stats and numbers.
Markets go up, markets go down. I have a certain perspective on this because I showed up on Bitrcointalk in 2014: the height of the altcoin bubble.
Based upon my successes and screwups, I can say: the best approach is to hold on through the downturns. Just hold on and wait. It's hard to do so while rising huge losses, but look at 2014-2016 if you despair & think of panic selling.
Anyone who bought Bitcoin in 2014 regretted it in 2015. Anyone who bought Bitcoin in 2014, held on & didn't sell, is laughing now.
Moral: hold on, and be prepared to wait a few or several years. You'll be glad you did.
Things and times and markets change, with something like 100X growth in onboarding new people in the space daily/weekly but there is wisdom there.
I have a high risk tolerance and used to dealing with numbers in real estate, I think that has helped me a lot along with being a numbers guy, seeing trends and such.
I am growing less and less patient however with the rising spammy Steemit community behaviour LOL.
I am really doing my best with that too.
nice and light article! thnx! Best way and the most reliable one - find the gems (fundamentally strong projects which have strong team, a product in the mind to solve an important issue with high utility value). Ideally, it should have a reasonably deep moat vs. competitors. This is the recipie for success! Earlier or later the market will recongize the value of the project and will award you with immence profits. Real life example, RLC token (iExec) >+100% today!
