Bitcoin: Consolidation Until Autumn?
Made 2 bang on calls at the beginning of this pattern with the 1H chart(see article attached below). The pattern has not deviated from course yet. If the pattern holds then price should continue to consolidate with a breakout near Autumn Equinox, which is a HUGE Gann pivot date for Crypto markets. This would be very Bullish.

BitcoinCash: Ranger Danger
BCH has been ranging but the volume on bigger exchanges is so-so. Why is this happening when so many other markets are in rally mode?
The short answer is internal chaos. There has been a power struggle between company co-founders that seems to not be getting any better.
Bitmain presale operations has said that all June & July orders will not arrive until September or October at the earliest due to internal problems. It seems like the safest trade is buying with strength and buying the breakout from the range in the event that internal struggles break the price floor.
