In this third installment of my Bitcoin Price Diary, I’ll revisit some open positions which are still in play and review a sizable trade on REN. I also have a position in Bitcoin (BTC) that is still largely open.
As I have said a number of times on Twitter, I believe that it has been an altcoin season for months and that altcoins found their local bottoms in August. I have been comfortably trading them since. In early October, Bitcoin dropped and was ranging sideways, giving altcoins even more room to appreciate.
Bitcoin May Target $5,000 in Near Term as Momentum Falters [newsbtc.com]
After surging from its recent lows of $7,800, Bitcoin has been unable to extend its upwards momentum and has continued trading sideways within the lower-$8,000 region. This bout of consolidation has made it increasingly unclear as to which direction BTC will move next, although its next major movement should provide significant insight into this. One analyst is now noting that Bitcoin may continue dropping until it reaches the $5,000 region, which is where it currently has enough support to bolster its near-term price action and help it surge significantly higher in the near-term.
Bitcoin’s price drastically dropped 12% on September 25th. At the same time, the vast majority of digital assets recorded significant losses.

3. OKB is getting more integrated into the market

Telegram Gets SEC Halt on Token Sales After $1.7 Billion ICO [bloomberg.com]
The order halts Telegram from selling digital tokens known as Grams, according to a complaint unsealed Friday in federal court in Manhattan. The enforcement action is one of the SEC’s most high-profile cases involving cryptocurrencies to date.

Draft of Schedule 1 of Form 1040.
For the first time since 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued new cryptocurrency tax guidance, following a Congressional request to clarify cryptocurrency tax rules. Right off the bat, the IRS declares that cryptocurrency is taxed as property, rather than as currency, meaning that every single cryptocurrency transaction involves capital gains and losses. This makes it very arduous for cryptocurrency users to file taxes since a capital gain or loss has to be calculated for every transaction for the entire year and submitted during tax season.
