• DASH and Litecoin Analysis January 12, 2018

  11-01-2018 14:52 via newsbtc.com
  Dash/USDDash went sideways during the trading session on Thursday, essentially hovering the $1000 level. That’s an area that has offered a bit of support in the past, and now that the stochastic oscillator is starting to cross on the 4-hour chart, I suspect we may get a bounce towards the $1100 level. That’s an area that is essentially “fair value” in the current scheme of things, but if we break down below the $950 level, the market could unwind.

From bounces to take advantage of an oversold condition on the stochastic oscillator just below on the chart.

  BTC/USDBitcoin continues to drift sideways overall, after initially dipping during the trading session. The uptrend line underneath continues to offer support, so we could get a bit of a rally from here, but overall it looks as if we have been consolidating. The $12,000 level underneath is massively supportive, and that being the case it’s likely that the market will find buyers in that area. The $17,000 level above is massively resistive, so we could find the market going back and forth b
