Hello Everyone,

I deem it a great honour participating in this week homework task by prof @stream4u. the detailed lesson on Reverse Strategy and CoinGecko was very comprehensive.

Technical Details On Reverse Strategy


Reverse strategy as the name suggest, opposite strategy is a strategy employed within the technical analysis of cryptocurrency to distinguish a greatly bullish or bearish of a crypto market for one day before making a speculation choice to appropriately take advantage of the delayed bullish or bearish trend. This strategy happens when investors make profit and decide to leave the market thereby bringing new investors since the market value of that particular asset will decrease. Reverse strategy is very risky to trade within the hours of the day since the price of a cryptocurrency can continue to increase or continue to decrease within the hours of the day. It is not a good time to take sell position at bullish state or buy position at bearish state since whatever decision is made base on this analyses may lead to fail. The best thing to do is to wait for the price to finished the day before initiating reverse strategy. At the end of the day when the price change of an asset is 20% or more, then it is a right time to implement this strategy.

How Reverse Strategy Works


In a situation where crypto market is noticed to be in a bullish or bearish state for a very long time, an investor ought to continuously be quiet enough to be certain about the state and conceivable reversal, this is often continuously critical to investors. What this simply means is that, when a crypto market goes greatly bullish and attained a price change of 20% or more for the day, investors who had made profit turn to leave the market which pull the market price backwards, this pull back of the market price creates a great bearish which appears that buying of crypto assets would be opened sooner and most investors will do so to pick up more profit on the crypto assets acquired.
There are some terminologies we need to explain when using reverse strategy;

Open: This indicates the opening price of the new day.

Close: This indicates the closing price at the end of the day.

High point: This represents the highest price an asset attained within the 24hours of day.

Low point: This represents the lowest price an asset attained within the 24hours of the day.

The strategy solely depends on the closing and opening points or prices in the day. To gain a good buy position, the opening price should be closer to that of the previous closing price. This will give the investor a good position to buy. On the contrary, a good exit of the trading process will be depending on the high points and low points. In a case where the price of a particular crypto asset gets to previous high point and the investor is able to hold on to the asset till it crosses that previous high point, it is a good position for the investor to exit that trade.

Investors should buy when the closing price is closer to the opening price. A point where the high point of the day is greater than the high point of the previous day is indicated as sell. Investors will exit the market as they have made profit.

WEEKLY PRICE FORECAST FOR CRYPTO COIN: ETH/USD


From the previous weekly price forecasting, I have been using Ethereum and all my predictions have been great. I still want to keep on with Ethereum, this is because I have been studying it for a very long time.

ETHEREUM


It is a decentralized open-source blockchain network with its native coin being ETH. It works as a blockchain network for most other cryptocurrencies and also for execution of smart contracts and DApps. It was created in 2013 but officially launch in 2015 by Vitalik buterin. It is the supremum of all the altcoins, rank at second in terms of market capitalization just behind the mother coin, bitcoin. It uses proof of work consensus algorithm. During my homework submission the current price value of ETH was $2,923.22 with a market capitalization of $338,630,072,812 and volume of $79,846,529,886.

WHY I CHOOSE ETHEREUM (ETH)


As I mention early, ETH is the native token for Ethereun blockchain making it ERC-20 token and I choose this token because of the innovations the ETH network brought to the Crypto ecosystem. Below are some of the features that made me like and choose the ETH token;

  • A free digital platform that enables users to share digital contents free with no attached charges.

  • Transaction speed of up to 10 - 15 transactions processed / second.

  • Low transaction fee on the Ethereum network.

  • Compatibility with smart contracts.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS ON ETH/USD


With this aspect, I will be checking out the price value of ETH/USD in order to give me a good position to predict for the next one week. I will also set my resistance and support levels. This will also help give me a good prediction level. As seen from the graph, ETH had a prolong inclination then again prolong declination.

Below is a screenshot of my technical analysis.

Prediction for the next one week


At this point it will be now being okay to give my forecasting of the price value of ETH/USD for the next one week.
Last two weeks, I predicted for the price of ETH to spike to $3,900 in the coming week. It was clear that the price hit this target but has fallen significantly this week due the fallen of the mother coin, Bitcoin. The current price as at the time of my homework submission the price of ETH/USD was $2,923.22.

22.png

In the next one week as can be seen from the graph with a black line pointing above, ETH will attain a prolong inclination. I am predicting the price of ETH/USD to spike with a percentage of 35% and above, giving as $3,700 in the next one week.

CONCLUSION


To conclude with, I will like to say that the reversal strategy is a useful technique where investors can use to wisely take an advantage of a bullish or bearish market trend without any fear of investing. And with the CoinGecko it is an excellent tool to learn about several cryptocurrencies and to know how to choose which is the correct investment option, without any doubt.
