Podcasts about stratum v2

What does financial repression look like in real time — and how are people fighting back with Bitcoin? In this episode, I read the Human Rights Foundation's Financial Freedom Report #67, a roundup of the latest developments in monetary control, state surveillance, and Bitcoin tools empowering those under authoritarian regimes. From currency collapses in Turkey to smart contract-enforced CBDCs in Russia, we explore the chilling precision of financial control systems being deployed around the world. But it's not all bleak — this report also highlights powerful tools like Stratum V2 mining pools, Cashew's tap-to-pay e-cash, and HRF-supported grassroots adoption efforts in Pakistan and beyond. I follow the read with a Guy's Take on the medium-of-exchange debate — and why using Bitcoin as a store of value may be more radical than it seems.

In this episode, Alejandro de la Torre, CEO and founder of Demand Pool, discusses the launch of their new Stratum V2 mining pool. Alejandro explains the importance of decentralization in Bitcoin mining, the risks associated with traditional mining pools, and how Demand Pool aims to create a fair and transparent system for miners. The conversation covers the differences between payout structures like FPPS and PPLNS, the innovative Slice payment system, and the role of translation proxies in facilitating mining operations. Alejandro also addresses the viability of mining pools and the importance of hash rate coordination. He also shares insights on global mining trends, the shift towards liquid cooling, and the challenges of censorship in the mining space. Takeaways

In this episode we're joined by Bob Burnett, CEO at Barefoot Mining. His life trajectory has taken him from working on the first personal computer to discovering Austrian economics to a burning passion for Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. Today we dive deep into Bitcoin mining. We learn about pools, how they operate, the risks and threats that they face; from blocksize to blocktime, and how the role of miners will change with time; but we also talk about the ins and outs of operating a company within 100% of bitcoin ethos and the passion and purpose that Bitcoin can inspire.

In this episode of Bitcoin, Explained, Aaron (@AaronvanW) and Sjors (@provoost) are joined by Braiins co-founder Jan Čapek (@janbraiins), who has been leading the initiative to upgrade pooled mining to the Stratum V2 protocol. Aaron, Sjors and Jan discuss what pooled mining is, how the Stratum protocol helps with that, and in what ways Stratum V2 is an improvement over Stratum V1.

Jan Čapek and Pavel Moravec are the co-founders of Braiins, a Bitcoin Mining company. In this interview, we discuss Braiins update to their updated Stratum V2 protocol software for pooled mining, how it helps solve Bitcoin mining's centralisation problem, and why Braiins has given the Stratum software away to the community as open source. - - - - The development and growth in pooled Bitcoin mining has been a critical part of maintaining Bitcoin's security. The synergies of scale were always going to affect Bitcoin as it transitioned into a more mature technology. However, centralisation is an existential threat to Bitcoin. Mining pools, started in 2010 by Jan and Pavel, therefore enabled small-scale miners to continue to gain value from limited hash power, which thereby strengthened the network's security. Nevertheless, just as the rise of the mega miners concentrated the hashrate, so did the rise of major mining pools. In February over 52% of the hashrate was controlled by just 2 mining pools (Foundry USA and Antpool). This is not to state that these mining pools have malevolent intentions. But Bitcoin must always guard against an attack through trustless mechanisms. Marathon's flip-flopping over filtering non-OFAC-compliant transactions in 2021 was a warning. The solution to the problem lies in the communication protocol used to connect miners with mining pools. The existing protocol, Stratum V1, was developed and distributed as open-source software by Braiins in 2012. Whilst it has successfully supported Bitcoin mining pools since then, it was in need of an upgrade for a series of reasons. Such an upgrade enabled this centralisation issue to be tackled head-on. Stratum V2 transfers the power for writing new blocks from the pool operators and into the hands of individual miners. This is enabled by a sub-protocol within Stratum V2 called the “Job Negiotator”. The incentive for adoption is that the other updates enable faster (i.e. more profitable) and more secure communications. It is an elegant solution built with the same technical and community-facing ethos as Bitcoin's open-source code. Děkuji Braiins!

“What is the end goal for V2? Is allowing miners to build the block themselves, but at the same time use the money aspect of pool mining…the money would be still the same, but the transaction selection would be distributed, therefore, more secure for the whole network.”— Pavel MoravecJan Čapek and Pavel Moravec are the co-founders of Braiins, a Bitcoin Mining company.

Bitesize Bitcoin Bitcoin Mining Server Components Emergentism, is the belief that complex systems can exhibit properties or behaviours that are not present in their individual components. Such is the case with a Bitcoin miner. In today's Bitesize Bitcoin, we will review the components that comprise a common, air-cooled, single-phase powered, Bitcoin miner.  A mining rig is in many ways less complex than other electronic devices we use every day as it is designed to perform only one function. It is comprised of a case, a control board, hashboards, ASIC chips, a power supply, fans, and wiring connecting them all together. Control Board: The control board is the central hub of the machine. It is responsible for controlling the other components of the rig and communicating with the greater Bitcoin network. It serves as the central hub for all the machine's hardware and software components. The control board contains a microcontroller, RAM, and other supporting chips and circuitry. It has connectors for various peripherals like temperature sensors, network connection, power supply, and fans and is responsible for controlling and monitoring the operation of the rig. The control board… Controls the power supply to the miner, including the power draw of the ASIC chips, fans, and other components. It also monitors the power consumption of the machine to ensure that it is operating efficiently. It monitors the temperature of the ASICs and other components, and it adjusts the power and cooling accordingly. The control board monitors the operation of the miner and detects any hardware or software failures. It can also protect the miner from overloading or other potential damage by shutting it down in case of a fault. With firmware like Braiins or Vnish these shutdown parameters can be set by the user. It tracks the performance of the miner and provides real-time updates on mining statistics, such as hash rate, pool stats like accepted and rejected shares, temperature, fan speed, and power consumption. It also provides error logs and other diagnostic information to help miners troubleshoot. The control board includes a processor, ARM, FPGA, or a combination of both, to handle the calculations and communicate those tasks to the hashboards. It includes a small amount of RAM and storage, such as an SD card, to store software and data. Contains a variety of ports, such as USB and Ethernet, to connect to other hardware components and the network. It is also equipped with an LED display to indicate network connection status And contains reset and ip report buttons. Fans: The fans blow air over the ASIC chips and other components to cool them down. Whatsminer and the Bitmain S9 use two 12V, 7-9amp fans. The S19's use four smaller 2.7 amp 12V fans. Machines are designed to operate within a certain temperature range, the S9 and Whatsminer have an operating temperature range of 0-40°C, S19's range is -5-45°C.  Case: The case is the enclosure that holds all the components of the machine. The cases are aluminum, particularly stylish, and protect the internal components and provide a mounting point for various peripheries like fans and power supplies.  Power Supply:  The power supply does what it says it does, supplies power to the machines. It does this through a transformer and voltage regulator to convert AC to the DC power required by the machine. Common power supplies are the Bitmain APW12 and APW3+. As well as the Whatsminer PD21/22.  Power supplies consist of several key components:  Power conversion module, which converts AC to DC  Power distribution board, which routes the DC power to the various components of the rig. Cooling system, yes power supplies have fans on them as well  Connector pins: Single-phase power supplies have 3 pins, 2 hots and a ground, no neutral. Neutral is alternated between the two hots during their phases. Wall plugs and pdu's need to be 3-prong outlets. The fact that there is not a dedicated neutral means proper grounding is of utmost importance.  Bitmain has a c13 to c14 connector on the back of their power supplies. 1 on the s9 and two inputs for the S19. A C13 connector is a standard power connector that is commonly used on computers and other consumer electronics. Newer Whatsminers use a C19/C20 combination The C19/C20 connector is a heavy-duty power connector that is more commonly used in datacenters and other industrial settings. It is similar to a C13 connector, but it has a larger and more durable construction and is rated for higher levels of current and voltage. Bitmain continues to use the C13/C14 connector even though they are rated for less amperage. They achieve this by using two connectors on their power supply. Note: ASIC manufacturers are designing gear more and more to the specifications of larger mining operations. Both Bitmain and Whatsminer's water cooled offerings, The Whatsminer M53 and the Antminer S19 XP hydro are 3-phase powered. Meaning smaller operations would have to either have 3-phase power or have a device that can convert single-phase to 3-phase. Hashboard and ASIC Chips The hashboard is a printed circuit board that contains the ASIC chips that do the actual mining calculations. The hashboard is a specialized circuit board that contains the ASIC chips and other components responsible for the ASICs. The hashboard also includes voltage regulators, power connectors, and other supporting circuitry. The ASIC (as you probably know stands for application-specific integrated circuit) is the heart of the machine, not so much the brains but the brawn. It is a microprocessor that has been specifically designed to perform the hash function and is made of millions of transistors, which are tiny electronic switches that can be turned on or off to perform calculations. The chips are designed to perform our beloved SHA-256 hash function. Contrary to popular belief, miners aren't performing complex mathematical calculations, the process of performing the SHA-256 hash function on an ASIC involves a lot of intricate, but low-level operations. The power of an ASIC mining rig is in its ability to do a lot of those operations quickly. The constant switching on and off of these micro transistors creates a great deal of heat. Heat that is dissipated through convection, conduction, and radiation via fans or immersion fluid. Heatsinks are used to increase the surface area of the chip They are typically made of metal with a large surface and are attached to the chips through a thermal interface material or TIM. TIM, such as thermal grease, thermal paste, and indium foil, is used to transfer heat from the ASIC chips  Tie them together: The communication between the control board and the hashboard and the control board and the greater Bitcoin network is the most important part of a Bitcoin mining server. All other elements of the machines are to support that protocol. The control board sends data to the hashboard to be hashed, and the hashboard sends the results back to the control board. The control board then sends the results to the network to be verified and added to the blockchain. The control board communicates with the network through a protocol called Stratum. Stratum is a networking protocol that is used as a relay between mining devices and mining pool servers. It is a simple text-based protocol that allows the miners to request work from the server and submit their results. Stratum V2 is an updated version of the protocol that adds additional features. See the #PlebMinerMonth interview with Jan Capek from Braiins to learn more about Stratum V2. We colloquially call miners “ASICs”, but an ASIC is a type of chip, not the entire system. A play on Aristotle's musings, “concerning a system which is comprised of several components; the whole should not be defined by an individual part.” Bob Burnett (@boomer_btc) CEO of Barefoot Mining often sounds the trumpet on this issue, the misuse of the term ASIC. Bob prefers mining server, mining system, or the more Plebby term, mining rig. Our vernacular is full of misnomers and the horse is out of the barn with the use of the term ASIC to describe a mining rig, but in respect to Bob Burnett, we will do our very best to only refer to ASICs as the chips on a hashboard.   twitter - @MaxBitbuybit twitter - @bitbuybitpod Website - https://ungovernablemisfits.com     As always please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions.   Today you can exchange $1 for 4710 Sats (Sale ends soon.)   Thank you Foundation Devices for sponsoring the show.  Use code BITBUYBIT at check out for $10 off your purchase

In todays episode I speak to lili about home mining and how to go from zero to NOKYC Sat stacking hero. We cover all you need from acquiring your miner to securing your precious sats. All details and links are bellow.   Pitch for bitcoin mining at home (why do it?) Cost to mine vs buying spot  Mining bitcoin depending on your electricity rate costs below 20k, spot bitcoin is trading at 40k. You can calculate your cost to mine bitcoin using the Braiins insights calculator, they even have instructions that walk you through how. Non-KYC aspect Mining is non-KYC bitcoin at a discount. It is DCA (dollar cost averaging) Acquiring ASICs and related equipment Signs of mining scams/scam sellers: Promising free money Offering steep discounts Crazy specs. Like offering an M30S with 190 th Imitating real businesses. Just because a promotion, invoice, and other business material contains the branding of a real mining company does not mean that document is legitimate Inability to provide identity verification. Real employees from legitimate mining companies are always available to verify their identities to a customer via video calls, voice chats, or other means of communication Immediate payment requests. Any service that wants urgent payment is likely a scam -WHERE TO BUY:  - Kaboom racks, Compass mining, MinefarmBuy, Hardware market telegram, blockware telegram Protecting your identity while buying Encrypted communication tools First thing, do not do business in social media DMs (unencrypted and stored on big tech company servers) Email services like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Apple Mail and Outlook all collect user data. Encrypted email services like ProtonMail, CTemplar, and Tutanota are more secure Messengers: Threema, Briar, Signal, Telegram (secret chats), and Molly, a fork of Signal. Paying privately  LLCs if fiat payments Transferring funds via a credit charge, ACH payment or wire transfer requires sending a customer's legal name and bank information to the retailer, which is undesirable for privacy-conscious miners. Miners can operate under a limited liability corporation (LLC) established through a registered agent rather than tied to their real identities may prefer fiat payment methods.  Whirlpooled bitcoin and/or non-KYC bitcoin is IDEAL Setting up your miner at home Hooking up your miner and connecting to a mining pool Make an account with preferred mining pool. If want to get paid regularly you need to join a mining pool. **I use Slushpool Plug in cords. All the chords coming out of the power supply unit just go into the same holes on the top of the miner.  Plug in miner ethernet cable and PSU to wall. Next you need to connect to the mining pool Get the IP address of your miner. You must know this address to access the graphical user interface (GUI) of your miner. Download software to scan your network, angryIP scanner for example. *have to scan with VPN off Put IP address of miner in your browser to view the GUI for that specific miner.  Find the connection link on mining pool website, this is where you will point your hash power to mine with Slush Pool. Paste this link into Braiins OS “Pool Groups” section Concealing noise and heat signature Air cooled vs immersion set up For aircooled sets ups, You can build an enclosure for buy an out of box solution like Upstream Data's Blackbox.  Regular dust removal is very important. This will prevent the machines from getting clogged with dust and overheating. Dust removal can be done using a high-pressure blower to blow the dust out of the machines. This should be done monthly. A miner can also replace a machine's lower speed fans with higher speed versions for better cooling which will contribute to reducing the overall heat signature. Immersion is more involved but once built heat and noise are managed (https://compassmining.io/education/immersion-bitcoin-mining-introduction/ ) S19 hydro is cool, water cooled, gives immersion benefits with less complexity, and eliminates the need to deal with dielectric fluid (not released yet) Troubleshooting miners – what to do if your miner goes down In the GUI check: If you can log in and connect to the miner if pool is up and running if Config is still the same (sometimes factory defaults or hacks can change this) that firmware is updated, especially if using a third party one Verify hash rate and that main stats page isn't showing failed boards Check log files while the miner boots up       On the actual miner, depending on what you have: Make sure all power cables are tightly connected if its an external PSU Reset PSU(s) Make sure ethernet cable is tightly secured Make sure nothing is burned   Data protection tips Mining pool accounts/avoiding address reuse All address balances are visible to anyone with a block explorer. Reused addresses are also more easily linked to real-world identities, which could result in doxxing, address blacklisting, and other risks. Mining pool balances and payout transactions are some of the most closely watched types of on-chain data by everyone from amatuer data analysts to government officials and corporate chainalysis companies. Miner can input a new address after every pool payout or just reduce the frequency of payouts General web browsing best practices Use a good VPN when checking your mining pool apps or visiting mining related websites Stratum Protocol Data Transfers Privacy and security are a bit more complicated when it comes to the mining data transfers themselves. As miners understand, every second counts in the race to find blocks. While the latency of a high quality VPN isn't significant for general web browsing, it can impact the profitability of mining by increasing a miner's stale shares (i.e. shares submitted for a block height which has already been mined) which they don't receive payouts for.  Latency: is a measure of delay. Latency measures the time it takes for some data to get to its destination across the network.  Solutions: One common-sense approach presented by @econoalchemist in his guide Home Mining Network Privacy guide is to utilize multiple VPN tunnels in a failover fashion to automatically route mining traffic to the tunnel with the least latency. This affords the user privacy from the ISP, privacy from the mining pool, and no material added latency.   The downsides of not using a VPN are also significant. With a basic networking setup, a miner's ISP will see that they have a connection with a pool's stratum server and the pool will see their IP address. Not only that, but a miner's hashrate is actually at risk of being stolen if an eavesdropper is sophisticated enough. This is because data transfers via stratum protocol are unencrypted and in human-readable JSON format. This is comparable to visiting HTTP websites without security certificates (i.e. not HTTPS). Stratum v2 The most straightforward and simple solution to protecting stratum data transfers is upgrading to Stratum V2. Unlike Stratum V1, data transfers in V2 are encrypted and in binary format rather than JSON. The encryption means that Stratum V2 is like the HTTPS to Stratum V1's HTTP, keeping all of a miner's actual mining activity private and hidden from potentially malicious onlookers and preventing them from being able to steal any of their hashrate.  Proxies  A great option that doesn't significantly increase latency is a DNS proxy such as dnsscrypt-proxy which can be used to encrypt and authenticate requests using the DNSCrypt protocol and pass them to upstream servers (i.e. mining pools). This makes it so that ISPs won't see details about the communication between a miner and a mining pool, only that there is a connection. In other words, it is also like changing from HTTP to HTTPS, similar to Stratum V2. OS-specific guides for set up  here Dealing with mining pool payouts Coinjoin Storing payouts You need to coinjoin because you're not paid directly out of the coinbase. The mining rewards go to the pool operator's wallet before being transferred to your wallet. Whirlpool can help prevent parties that you send your rewards to from knowing that you mine bitcoin. Coinjoin with Samourai wallet or sparrow wallet.  Send to cold storage.

My guest today is Jan Capek, Co-founder and co-CEO of Braiins. Braiins is the preeminent Bitcoin mining software company. Braiins offers a full-stack software solution by providing miners with everything from state-of-the-art mining firmware to a best-in-class mining pool. Braiin's is the company behind the legendary mining pool, Slush Pool. Slush Pool was the world's first mining pool and continues to be an industry leader in transparency and innovation, with more than 1.25 million BTC mined since 2010. Braiins is also is the developer of Stratum V2, a next generation protocol for pooled mining with a focus on quality improvements including reduced data loads, empty block elimination, hash rate hijacking prevention and the Braiins OS / OS+, autotuning mining firmware, which boosts the efficiency of mining hardware with cutting-edge firmware that is natively integrated with Stratum V2 and mining software written from scratch in Rust language. At Braiins Jan, focuses on building out infrastructure architecture for Slush Pool where he aims to bring pool infrastructure to scale, build out more robust security, DDoS mitigation, and infrastructure configuration management, and provisioning. He also focuses on building the Braiins systems providing custom development consulting services in the following areas: applications for FreeRTOS and NuttX environment, embedded Linux BSP's, and infrastructure configuration management. If you are interested in learning more about the mining industry you have to listen to this conversation, Jan shares an immense amount of knowledge and details about Bitcoin and the mining industry. In our conversation, we cover the Braiins and Slush's history of innovating in the mining industry, scaling a Bitcoin mining company, the impact of ASICs, decentralizing the Bitcoin Network, and much more. Jan discusses how he got into Bitcoin and shares the origin story of Braiins and Slush Pool. Jan goes into depth about his experience bootstrapping Braiins into the first professionalized Bitcoin mining company. We go on to discuss the evolution of mining hardware and the impact of ASICs on the industry. We had a very thoughtful discussion about the dangers of blacklisting Bitcoin addresses and how there are censorship resistance redundancies within the Bitcoin Network. Another major discussion point in our conversation was the possible ramifications of Bitcoin's hardcoded rules coming into conflict with regulatory and legal institutions. We finish our conversation by discussing the importance of decentralizing manufacturing supply-chain for Bitcoin mining.

On May 11th, the block reward in the Bitcoin network was decreased from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC heralding the 3rd halving in Bitcoin history. Block #630000, was the first to bring a decreased reward, and it was mined by the AntPool mining pool group.On Chain MetricsThe number of active addresses (and entities) has increased to levels not seen since the 2017 bull market - as has the number of new addresses - suggesting an increase not just in activity, but also in adoption. Not only are we seeing increased on-chain activity from new adopters, but also from longer-term investors; specifically, hodlers and whales.MinersNo surprise that ASIC chip manufacturers have caught up to the cutting edge. Miners now have the smallest & most efficient nanometer chip architecture. This is interesting because in the past, if you purchased a miner, by the time it was shipped to you, there would be a better generation making yours almost obsolete. (ahem Bitmain) Now that miners have caught up to mainstream generalized chip fabrication, when you buy a mining rig, you know that there will not be one 2x as fast next month. This enables more predictability and the costs of miners will come down thanks to mass production. Miners will mine and hold, speculating, and covering power costs until they are forced to sell. The mining industry is simply going to look for cheaper & greener electricity like geothermal, hydroelectric, as well as to use up excess power that power-plants where going to the waste in the first place.Bitcoin Hash Rate as of Today.The hashrate will fall that is for certain. Most have made the move back to BCH and BSV. Also the weakest miners will have to shut down unless we see a huge increase in the price, around 15–30% will shut off. Now some miners will turn on again after the first difficulty adjustment takes place. The older machines will eventually shut off as new, many old mining machines, especially S9, will fade away from the market, better machines will come online (some mining farms may have access to free electricity, so they could still run S9.) These new machines will push the difficulty rate higher which will make older machines with less hash-power unprofitable. I foresee this happening in a span from June, July and part of August.Bullish Factors after the halvingFacebook Calibra launch in OctoberEthereum 2.0 Launch in 3rd Quarter.Bakkt Phase 2 Roll-out sometime this summer.China's Digital Yuan release rolling out now and the rest of the year.CBDC's set to release to the public at some point in 2021. Possible Cryptocurrency Act as well.More Stimulus Checks? Later this summer.More Fed printing….brrrBitcoin Upgrades; BIP 340 Schnorr Signatures, BIP 341 Taproot, BIP 342 Tapscript, Stratum V2 —all possible for implementation in 2021.BitcoinEvents impacting Bitcoin 2020 — the halving, proving itself as a safe haven asset, quantitative easing, businesses emerging from the crisis, regulation changes and technical upgrades — all individually have the potential to change its path forever, but all combined at once & no one is going to want to look away.This time, the price may be growing faster, since more people consider Bitcoin as a safe haven asset because of the crisis. There are chances we will never see prices like in the middle of March ever again. History is telling us that the Bitcoin price will typically begin to rise significantly within the 12 months following a halving — I think we will see the real rally in 2021. Now, Bitcoin is a full-fledged asset used by Wall Street companies and I think it's ready to establish itself in some way.One potential framework for analyzing the impact of halvings is to study the change in the stock-to-flow ratio across each halving. The first halving reduced the supply by 15% of the total outstanding bitcoins. That's a huge impact on supply and it had a huge impact on price.Each subsequent halving's impact on price will likely taper off in importance as the ratio of reduction in supply from previous halvings to the next decreases. Below is a chart depicting past halvings' supply reductions as a percentage of the outstanding bitcoin at the time of the halving.The second having decreased supply only one-third as much as the first. Very interestingly, it had exactly one-third the price impact.Extrapolating this relationship to 2020:The reduction is supply is only 40% as great as in 2016. If this relationship holds, that would imply about 40% as much price impulse — bitcoin would peak at $115,212 /BTC.“History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes.”- Mark TwainPart 1: Long term bullish trendHowever this new target doesn't come without terms, there are very certain trend-lines we need to pay attention to such as the 10500 Resistance. This level has been holding since early September 2019 and has already rejected break-out attempts twice (October 26 2019 and February 13 2020). It is therefore no surprise that BTC has been struggling around the 10000 mark for two weeks now.While this 10500 flat Resistance has been holding for that long, at the same time the RSI has been showing strength, being under a bullish divergence on Higher Highs and Higher Lows. That is of course excluding the collapse of early March which was non-technical, fueled by the stock market crash. This bullish RSI is an underlying bullish signal that should ultimately result in breaking the 10500 Resistance.All the above parameters show that BTCUSD is well supported on the long-term on a "Cup within Cup pattern" which is forming the right side of the formation. This is likely to charge the break-out above $10500, which will give way to the $13800 annual high of 2019. This process requires our patience and careful buying of potential pull-backs towards the curves or adding on the Resistance break-out. Investing on Bitcoin is a marathon not a sprint and as long as we keep that in mind we will again end up with at least 10X our investment at the end of the current Cycle.Part 2: Mid term bearish trendJune and July will be very bearish months but we must maintain $7.8K or a further drop to $5.8K becomes a possibility. Make certain to look at these dips as an opportunity to get in at a target price we likely will never see again for Bitcoin. This is in fact a reality after October 2020.Part 3: Short term bullishFollowing Sunday's selling, BTC has more than recovered that drop within the week but we see the price today pulling a little back again. This pull-back stopped BTC from extending the Higher Highs sequence it started after the mid-March collapse and instead we are now sitting on Lower Highs. This Lower Highs trend-line must be avoided at all costs and I will explain why.Last time Bitcoin printed a similar Lower Highs sequence was it mid February when we all remember that it was the beginning of the fall. If this is not avoided and Higher Highs are not made we can have a similar sell-off (not as strong as March's though unless COVID causes another flash crash on the stock markets) back to the 1D MA200 or even lower to the Symmetrical Support. We are close to printing a Golden Cross (MA50 crossing over the MA200) which is theoretically a bullish formation but as seen on the Lower Highs sequence of mid February it was actually bearish as it was formed at the top.The LMACD, our very accurate technical indicator throughout the previous years, may actually save the day. I will explain why. As seen on the chart, the LMACD made a bearish cross on Sunday's drop but with this week's recovery, is close to printing a bullish cross now. The very same cross sequence was seen in late January when Lower Highs were again formed on the price candles (though not as strong as the current ones) but the LMACD made successive crosses ( bearish to bullish ) and the uptrend was extended making Higher Highs all the way to mid-February's High.So where do you think we are? At the top of the April rally or roughly in the middle as the LMACD may suggest? Whatever the speculation one thing is for sure. BTC must break the current Lower Highs trend-line to avoid a sell-off taking place.Citations:Glassnode Delphi Digital Pantera Capital TradingShot
