Bitcoin mass adoption to the $trillions, Banks opening trading desks,

As I long expected, the Bitcoin market is exploding with instutional demands. OTC desks have reported to have demand from wealth funds and banks have started opening crypto-currency trading desks meaning they will start to provide liquidity to the market.

This tells me that there's a very good chance that there have been huge OTC deals made with institutional players and that soon exchanges will show this in price. Currently the Bitcoin market cap sits around 1-200 billion and it is my belief that this is too low for the type of capital flow coming from the traditional financial world.

I believe once we have priced in this adoption phase and we are trading in the trillions, Bitcoin will be a protective asset like Gold and it will takeover it's function as such. If you know anything about the Gold market you know there's a high correlation with foreign exchange pairs and that it has a very important role in how capital flows and is protected in times of uncertainty. A good example of this is also the massive exit out of USD into EUR and other assets like Gold because of uncertainty with the Trump presidency. Hillary would've been a much more stable and trusted candidate but we are in times of political turmoil.

Soon Bitcoin will be trading in the trillions and with Ethereum and Proof-of-Stake improvements to the nothing-at-stake issue with things like Casper and other consensus solutions we gonna see a lot of industries and markets adopt distributed systems simply because they are cost effective and solve certain trust issues. I think we are at the start of a huge blockchain adoption wave which will be led by the banks who have huge PR power and will use this to try and win volume and trust back from the common folk that massively are in exodus into deflationary products.

I expect the Bitcoin market cap to go into the trillions the next coming months, this will likely be between 1-10 trillion, I think this is the only thing that will justify the current adoption taking place by traditional institutions. I think they see Bitcoin's transfer and store function as valuable as we do especially cause it's the most secure decentralized trustless database in the world.

Trader Psychology and the Analysis of Behavior in Financial Markets

Markets are influenced by the speculative behavior of the people that are active in them. For a long time fundamental and technical traders debated what really provided the edge in this battlefield. Recently though there has been a shift in the perception of it's reality, the fields that cover this: behavioral finance & economics. Deciding whether to risk ones money based on information with only the promise of a possible return easily triggers an emotional response and even though our outside brain cortex has given us the power to high cognitive function, science actively seeks out contrary opinions to prevent our observations becoming biased. Analyzing a market works in a similar way, you make an observation which can be anything from a sideways market setting up, to a trend in progress. This observation gives you a signal of opportunity and the decision making process begins.

CBOE launches Bitcoin futures, with volume!

As announced by the CBOE on the 10th their platform launched a Bitcoin futures market, by this move they beat CME and this showed as they instantly had volume. This means the coming weeks gonna be important to watch in the Bitcoin market, the question is if large coin holders are looking to hedge down or that players looking to short the top of the bear market are coming in to cause at least a short term squeeze which could put us again at new highs. What ever is gonna happen the days between now and the end of the year are definitely to be watched for opportunity for the speculator, this also counts for other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and a lot of the altcoins that have been steady accumulating.

A new Crypto Super Cycle, Van Eck MVIS OTC Index

Markets can trend for years ride on hype, export markets of commodities are cornered by cartels that have the advantage of information of their own large OTC transactions. Whatever market you are in  just envision who the large exporters are and most likely they will be the people in control. The same goes for crypto, Bitcoin has had a supercycle since 2016 and now another 6-7 months consolidation as the market has seen before, OTC hype is strong amongst institutions interested in the trade, this goes as high as the governments investment funds. I believe we are in for the next crypto super cycle and we will see some interesting decentralized applications come out of this.
