• DASH and Litecoin Analysis December 26, 2017

  25-12-2017 16:11 via newsbtc.com
  DASH/USDDASH drifted a bit lower over the holidays, dropping from the $1200 level. However, I suspect that there is a significant amount of support at the $1000 handle. What’s interesting for me is that we could be forming a bit of a descending triangle, or a descending channel, so I think we are going to have a bit of a fight on our hands at that $1000 level. Because of this, I am on the sidelines but if we break down significantly below the $1000 handle, I would be willing to start selli

  ETH/USDEthereum rallied a bit over the weekend, but continues to struggle at the $760 level. I think the market is simply consolidating in this area, and therefore we will probably drift back down towards the $630 level. At that point, there seems to be supported in the region, giving us a potential buying opportunity. If Ethereum breaks down below the $600 level again, we could fall as low as $500.

  BTC/USDBitcoin was reasonably quiet during the Christmas session, as most people were not focusing on the crypto currency space, but one thing that I’m starting to notice is that we are forming another descending triangle. Simply put, if we break down below the $13,000 level, I believe that this market goes down to $10,000 after that. I would be careful buying Bitcoin at this point, I think that the correction needs to go much deeper. At this point in time, it’s probably safer to tra

  This year has been nothing but monumental for Bitcoin and its brethren, the King of crypto has shown an 1800% gain since January. A rise from $950 to $20,000 is a remarkable feat rarely matched by any stock or commodity. However there is a downside with a parabolic rise on a trading chart, things that go up that fast will also crash that quickly as Bitcoin proved by shedding almost 40% in a few days last week.
