We are sharing this article to give a summary of the participation in our contest for week 1 where you will get to know the numbers of entries received, the winners and so on. The contest hosted in the community last was themed "**Crypto Market Technical Analysis**" where participants are expected to show us what they understand about technical analysis in the crypto ecosystem, their practical knowledge, and what they think of a few components of technical analysis and other tasks assigned in the contest. Users have been able to come up with great articles as regards the topic which we have attended to adequately as moderators. In addition, participants shared their opinions on technical indicators' effectiveness and how their favorite indicators can be utilized for trading. Users who have made a few inconsistencies in the process were corrected on their entries. ![Divider.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZsCs3hxbFYfB1naY8BRycxss8bpjyDARDk4U3xuf5Dry/Divider.png)

Top 3 Users for the Week

One of the first few things considered for the selection of top winners for the week in the contest is the performance by grade but that is not enough to make the judgment, it's an engagement challenge that requires proper interaction with others. We have checked how many articles our participants have interacted with, some articles were left out of the selection because of low interaction, some made it because of high interaction and in cases where we have equal comments from two or more users, performance by grade was employed to choose who won. Below are our top 3 articles for last week.

Ranking	Username	Article
