• Bitcoin Price Watch; Here’s Where We’re Looking Right Now

  05-12-2017 18:04 via newsbtc.com
  For a brief period, today, the bitcoin price broke through $12,000 a coin. This is yet another major threshold down and, while we are currently trading in and around $11,200 on the back of a shorter-term correction, the fact that things are moving as they are suggests that we could be in for another strong week from a price perspective.
  Whether we will see any more major thresholds breached remains to be seen but so long as we don’t see any corrections (that are too substantial), there is

• In the world of digital money, do you have a decentralized identity?

  Cryptocurrencies are taking the world by storm…and there are many speculations that this is only the beginning.
  The current market cap of digital currencies is somewhere over $300 billion. Bitcoin is the ‘king of crypto’, with over 50% share in the cap. But the future is still not certain.

• DASH and Litecoin Analysis December 5, 2017

  05-12-2017 16:09 via newsbtc.com
  DASH/USDDASH continues to go sideways in general, hovering just above the $740 level. I think there is a significant amount of support that extends down to the $700 level, and the stochastic oscillator is starting to look like it is going to cross in the oversold region soon. Because of this, a bounce in this market should be a nice buying opportunity to reach towards the $775 level again.

Because of this, I think that we are essentially stuck in a range between $450 level on the bottom, and $500 on the top. However, on the hourly chart we are starting to see the stochastic cross in the oversold area.

We are currently pressing against the $11,900 level, so it has become obvious that the market is going to go looking towards the $12,000 level.
