• Why is This $400K Bitcoin Mega-Bull Running Scared of Peter Schiff?

  17-02-2020 23:00 via newsbtc.com
  
  Following Alex Jones recently encouraging fans to get into Bitcoin, the controversial radio presenter now seems to want to host a crypto-focused debate. His dream participants for the discussion are the outspoken Bitcoin mega-bull Max Keiser and anti-crypto gold bug Peter Schiff.
  Whilst Schiff seems up for an appearance on Jones’s show, Keiser is reportedly less keen. Surely, one of Bitcoin’s loudest proponents isn’t afraid of debating Peter Schiff, is he?

• A Defense of This Support Could Send Ethereum on a Massive 200% Rally

  17-02-2020 22:00 via newsbtc.com
  
  Ethereum (ETH) has seen some incredibly bearish price action over the past several days and weeks, with Bitcoin’s recent break below $10,000 catalyzing a short-term downtrend that has impacted all major cryptocurrencies.
  This bearishness has led ETH to retrace down towards its key support at $240, which its bulls have been ardently defending over the past couple of days.
  Now, analysts are noting that there is one critical support that bulls need to defend, and that a strong bounce at this

• Crypto Market Crash: This Technical Structure Puts End to Uptrend

  17-02-2020 20:00 via newsbtc.com
  
  Although the crypto market has been surging since the start of 2020, the Bitcoin and altcoins may be experiencing the early stages of the year’s first major correction.
  The technical structure of the recent, short-term uptrend has been broken, suggesting that further downside is due in the days ahead. However, the uptrend on higher timeframes remains strong, so any correction is likely limited and will rebound to new highs following a local low being set.

• This Simple Factor Shows Bitcoin’s Selloff Not as Bearish as it Seems

  17-02-2020 19:00 via newsbtc.com
  
  Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto market have seen an intense overnight selloff, which comes close on the heels of the bearishness that the markets experienced over the weekend when BTC plummeted below $10,000 in a violent movement.
  This downwards momentum, however, may not last long, as one prominent analyst is noting that it is not a high time frame trend change, and that bears are currently fighting against oversold conditions.
  If this possibility proves to be valid, then BTC could soon see a

  In less than two months’ time, Bitcoin price has gone from a low of $6,400 to well over $10,000 at the recent high.

  Bitcoin took a substantial hit in trading on Monday, moving from $10,000 to $9,452, in just fourteen hours. The drop, which largely came on profit-taking sentiment, also saw Binance Futures registering one of its biggest long liquidations: worth $2 million.
