This is What I'm Binge Watching this Weekend
I don't watch much TV, I'm not much of a movie person and when I do watch something I typically won't watch it more than once (but yeah I've seen the classics like the original Top Gun and the new one multiple times), I'm not a "gamer" however I would consider myself a binge watcher...

What I Like to Binge Watch:
  • Billions (the hit series on Showtime)
  • Shark Tank
  • Blue Bloods (my dad is a retired police officer)
  • Trading Education Courses...

Yes, Trading Education Courses!

See which ones...

The Rise and Fall of Bitcoin from a Price Action Technical Analysis Perspective

Seems like all the self proclaimed charting experts are suddenly appearing to claim that they "knew" that Bitcoin (ticker BTC) was going to top out and make the free fall that it did... Not so fast my friends!

For well over the past year traders have been asking us what we thought about Bitcoin and our honest answer has consistently been "it doesn't matter what we think about Bitcoin but what's important is what story the BTC chart has been telling us...
