Cryptocurrency prices analysis and forecast – 30 November 2018

Image
BTC/USD BTC/USD is being traded at $4,340 and continues to trade as part of an upward correction. November futures contracts, that allow market participants to get profit from the depreciation of the coin, expire this Friday afternoon. In anticipation of this event, an upward correction has been developing on the market for the second day in a row. Since the fall this month has already been for more than $2,000, futures buyers in the region of $5,000 - $5,500 are interested in minimizing losses before its expiration. Therefore, it is likely that the upward correction, as a result, will go precisely to these marks. After that, the bearish trend will resume. As part of the forecast for November 30, we can expect the continuation of ... Read more about " Cryptocurrency prices analysis and forecast – 30 November 2018 " on coinatory.com

Image
Ether finally lost the status of the main competitor of the largest digital currency. Now the rival of Bitcoin is the Ripple XRP coin. The market capitalization of XRP is now more than $14.39 billion, while this value for ETH is just over $10.88 billion. The XRP rate is now falling and is about $0.34.

BTC/USD BTC/USD is being traded at $3,812 and continues to move sideways with the advantage of further decline. Another news about Bitcoin ETF, this time positive, visited the market. First, the SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, as part of the "What Bitcoin Did" podcast, confirmed the inevitability of accepting this ETF. Secondly, anonymous sources at Bloomberg reported that Nasdaq is preparing to start trading Bitcoin futures and has already aligned its product with the CFTC rules.

Pompiano: Bitcoin will find a minimum of 85% below the historical maximum

Image
Founder and partner of Morgan Creek Digital, Anthony Pompliano, in a conversation with CNBC this Monday, said that the Bitcoin price could find at least 85% below its historical maximum. Pompiano explained that he bases this forecast on his experience in the cryptocurrency sector. “85% of the current maximum is the point where it will end. About $ 3,000. We approached it over the weekend, but we may have to go down a bit more, ”he said. According to Pompliano, in the previous segment, Bitcoin was overvalued, and therefore the cryptocurrency continues to undergo a healthy correction. “Bitcoin was overvalued in December 2017. This year, there were more sellers than buyers, so the price drops. But there are three things you should not f ...

BTC/USD BTC/USD is being traded at $3,921 and continues to correct as part of a bearish trend. Over the last trading day, the price could not consolidate above $4,000. As previously assumed, the struggle for this mark caused a rebound. This movement, as we see, turned out to be quite good, however, there is no reason to talk about the reversal of the current dynamics. In the current situation, when the market regularly updates annual minimums, an attempt to determine the bottom is associated with a high degree of inaccuracy. Such attempts will relate more to the field of predictions than to trade and price forecasting. Also, do not forget that the Christmas and New Year holidays are ahead, and for this period the market is likely to go ...
