As we get closer to the end of 2018 , we can definitely say that 2018 wasn’t the best year for crypto, as Bitcoin and most major altcoins lost 80 – 90% of their initial value. Looking for the new coming year of 2019, some of the topics that could change the negative sentiment might come on behalf of the institutional investors’ side. Hence, Bakkt was one of the hottest topics for the recent year. Bakkt that was formed by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is building its futures platform to offer custody services for large institutional investors, and their most important innovation is that they are operating under US regulations. “Bakkt is designed to serve as a scalable on-ramp for institutional, merchant and consumer participation in digital assets by promoting greater efficiency, security, and utility,” said Kelly Loeffler, CEO of Bakkt. $182.5 Million Successful Funding Round In the last hours of 2018, great news came from Bakkt, as they had announced upon completion of ...

The inverse head and shoulders pattern in the Bitcoin chart is still active. However, For this formation to play out, Bitcoin has to break above the formation’s neckline around the $4380 resistance level, which is the prior high. In case of a breakout, the target could be found at the mid $5000 area. Those formations are not pure science, of course, as well as the targets, so take everything with extra caution. The $5500 price level is the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level of the massive decline from the $6300 area (since November 14). This target seems to me too bullish at the moment, and the bulls will have to show extra strength to extract this formation into reality. The formation will be invalidated if the shoulder support level (~$3500) gets broken down followed by high volume. Back to Ethereum ETH ETH is currently trading at the $135 price level, just above the $131-$124 support level. Notice the vast Doji Japanese candle with the two long wicks, to both sides, precisely...

If there was ever any doubt that 2018 was a bear market’s year for crypto, the average daily change should certainly clear those doubts. In 2018, it turns out that Bitcoin has experienced a negative average daily value change of –0.33%, which is the lowest in 9 years of value recording and the only second year for a negative change along with 2014 (-0.25%). Bitcoin average daily value change: 2010: +0.82% 2011: +0.76% 2012: +0.26% 2013: +1.11% 2014: -0.25% 2015: +0.09% 2016: +0.22% 2017: +0.78% 2018: -0.33% What’s also interesting to observe is the daily value change of the years before 2014 and 2018. We’ve discussed in the past how the 2018 bear market shows a lot of resemblance to the chart of 2014. These figures show that 2013 (+1.11%) and 2017 (+0.78%) both had high daily average changes in Bitcoin value, what also worth mention is the consolidation market of 2012 (0.26%) and 2016 (0.22%). This makes sense when you observe the Bitcoin price charts in each of thos...

Following yesterday’s BTC price analysis, we saw Bitcoin correcting down marking a daily low around the $3700 support line. From there, Bitcoin had returned to the $3800 area, where it’s trading as of writing this. We talked about such option of a correction which was necessary since the 4-hour chart Stochastic RSI oscillator had crossed over on the overbought area. As can be seen on the following 30-min chart, Bitcoin made another Bart formation : As long as Bitcoin won’t go below the $3500 support area, the possibility for an inverse head and shoulders pattern is still alive: in the case of breaking up the neckline around $4200, we could expect targets around the $5000 area. Looking at the 1-day & 4-hour charts Following the correction down, Bitcoin found support at the $3700 level, along with the 4-hour chart’s 200 and 100 moving average lines (marked light green and white on the following chart). MA-100 is about to cross over MA-200 which could turn out to be a bullish ...

There’s no denying it, the crypto industry is known for its eccentric individuals, statements, and startups. John McAfee, for example, promised to consume his family jewels if Bitcoin (BTC) doesn’t reach $1 million apiece by 2020’s end. While McAfee’s call is by far the most bizarre, especially what he wagered, he isn’t the only industry insider to expect for BTC to break out of its quintuple digits cell. In the end, these predictions may be headline-seeking, but there are a number of catalysts that could push BTC far beyond current price levels. Market Cycles Predict Bitcoin Could Surpass $333,000 By 2023 Filb Filb, a prominent crypto analyst that often touts zany charts, recently took to his Twitter feed to release another one of his (in)famous charts.

Is the market still in a correction mode after the last short-lived rally that made everybody feel good again? Or did the 10% move we noticed yesterday was a verification that the market is still looking for higher highs? XRP is currently trading at the $0.37 price level. It is down 18% since the last peak of $0.448 where XRP spiked with a long candle and got rejected by the 200 EMA (4 hours chart) and created a very long wick on this specific candle top. Looking at the BitStamp 4 hours chart XRP had a bounce exactly at 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level of the last high, which is just above the $0.324 support level. As we expected we got some bulls reaction at those levels; the 0.618 is a very sweet price point where bulls usually look to re-enter their longs. Please notice that the 200 and 55 EMA’s had a golden cross and then immediately crossed back and the two lines are currently flirting with each other. At the moment everything lays in the hands of BTC. if BTC continues cl...

Small events that occur on significant exchanges can often have an enormous impact on the price of bitcoin and the Altcoin market. The upcoming data migration of Bitfinex and Ethfinex is no exception. Today it was announced that on January 7 th , 2019, Bitfinex and Ethfinex would be offline for a period lasts 3-7 hours for IFinex to complete the final stage of its data migration to dedicated bare-metal servers. IFinex (the financial technology company that owns Bitfinex and Ethfinex) will be switching from AWS cloud to a new Swiss data center with its dedicated servers and premium hardware designed for high volume trading. IFinex has cited increased speed and advanced security as the two main reasons for why they are making the migration to the Swiss data center. The temp shutdown means that traders on Bitfinex and Ethfinex won’t be able to access their accounts for several hours. Due to Bitfinex being one of the largest exchanges in crypto (with an average 24-hour trading volume of...

A quick weekend update: We can safely say that Bitcoin held on top the significant $3600 support line (along with the mid-term ascending trend line), following a decent green candle of over $300 that returned the coin close to the $4000 mark. Despite the fact that the chances for a bearish continuation were higher, the bulls managed to keep up the $3600 support, and as of writing this, the last action could turn into a bullish inverse Head and Shoulders formation with immediate targets around $5000. Looking at the 1-day & 4-hour charts Bitcoin is now above the last days’ trading range (between $3700 and $3850), whereas $3850 prior resistance had turned into a major support level, along with the 50 days moving average line (marked in purple on the 4-hour chart). The next bullish targets could be at $3950, $4050 and $4200. As a reminder, Bitcoin was testing those levels just a week ago. Looking on the broader picture, an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern might be evolving (ca...
