Bitcoin (BTC) logged its worst daily performance since September as BTC price slid by 10% to under $59,000 on Tuesday. On the other hand, the U.S. dollar jumped to its best level in sixteen months after spending across the American retail sector grew despite persistent Covid-19 fears and inflation concerns. The BTC price established an intraday low of around $58,600 on Coinbase, only to retreat higher to reclaim $60,000 as its psychological support. Its move downside appeared as U.S. President Joe Biden signed the $550 billion infrastructure bill into law, including new tax-reporting requirements for cryptocurrency users. Some used the …

A selloff in Ether (ETH) on Nov. 16 has increased the chances of ETH's price falling below $4,000. ETH plunged 10% to around $4,100 on Tuesday, amid an ongoing market correction led by Bitcoin (BTC). In doing so, Ether dropped below its fourth-quarter upward trendline support. ETH/USD also tested its 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA; the velvet wave in the chart above) as its new price floor before bouncing higher. The next support line to keep an eye on if the 50-day EMA is broken is somewhere around $3,700. More declines ahead? The given Ascending Trendline comes as a …

Selecting a timeframe for technical analysis is always a tricky topic, but usually, the longer the trend, the higher the odds it shall prevail. For example, those analyzing the 3-day Bitcoin (BTC) chart will unarguably identify an ascending channel pattern that initiated in late June. Bears will also always find ways to justify their views despite the fact that Bitcoin has hit new all-time highs following the United States consumer price surge to 6.2%, which is the biggest inflation surge in 30 years. However, data from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode shows that long-term investors have stopped net accumulating and are …

A 37% November price rally in Litecoin (LTC) risks exhaustion as the "silver cryptocurrency" hints at forming a Double Top chart pattern. The classic bearish reversal setup appears when the price forms two consecutive peaks of almost the same height, with each upside move meeting with a strong correction towards a common support level, called the "neckline." Typically, the price breaks below the support and falls by as much as the maximum height between the Double Top's peak and neckline. So it appears, Litecoin is halfway through forming a Double Top pattern, as shown in the chart below. In detail, …

In a bizarre event, a cryptocurrency with the same name as SpaceX's satellite range "Starlink" jumped over 140% as Elon Musk's space technology company launched 53 of them into the Earth's lower orbit. Watch Falcon 9 launch 53 Starlink satellites to orbit → https://t.co/bJFjLCzWdK https://t.co/dgHuF6SIZ4 — SpaceX (@SpaceX) November 13, 2021 Written as StarLink (STARL), the little-known crypto rallied 13.70% on Nov. 13 — the day of the satellite launch, another 69% a day after it, and by up to 27% on Nov. 15.

Ethereum's native token Ether (ETH) could see yet another strong rebound in the sessions ahead as its price falls into a trading zone with a recent history of attracting buyers. The rising trendline has been triggering ETH's price rebounds since the beginning of October 2021 and comes as a part of a broader Ascending Channel range. As a result, Ether's path of least resistance has been to the upside despite pullbacks at the Channel's upper trendline, with its quarter-to-date returns currently sitting at over 38%. Most recently, the rising trendline was instrumental in limiting selloffs that followed the Ether price's …

When crypto traders win big, they often take to Twitter to share the joy. They tend to do the same for sharing painful stories of getting wrecked, discussing promising new assets, or sharing insight and predictions on which projects can become the next big thing. Sometimes these waves of social attention can even create positive feedback loops whereby the tokens that command the chatter see their prices soar precisely for that reason. The volume of tweets referencing a particular asset can indicate a lot of different things. This month, the five tokens that saw the greatest month-to-month increases in daily …

Ether (ETH) bulls seem excited with the recent $4,870 all-time high that was hit on Nov. 10. While it was a new high in USD, ETH price is still 51% below June 2017’s price in Bitcoin (BTC) terms but it’s entirely possible that the 0.155 BTC level reached in the previous cycle reflected the overzealous expectations that were rampant during the initial coin offer (ICO) frenzy. The Ethereum network’s own success caused congestion and high fees, bringing the competition closer. For example, in mid-2017, the leading “competitors” would have been Ethereum Classic (ETC) and NEM (XEM) and combined, those represented …

Consumers in the United States and around the world continue to feel the pinch of inflation and recent data shows that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 6.2% in October when compared to last year, a development which further cast doubt on the “transitory” inflation narrative coming out of the Federal Reserve. Inflation at 6.2% means that if we keep it steady for 10 years, your $100,000 will become $54,800 by then. Compounding is a powerful force.

Every time a new Bitcoin (BTC) all-time high is formed, excessive expectations follow. This time was no different as its price briefly touched $69,000 in the early hours of Nov. 9. Bitcoin 8h, we got our November 9th historical correction, seems to be very minor for now. Naturally I expect at bigger correction after we hit the 84k region, and then into blast off.$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/cfbBkOIFEK — Miles J Creative (@JohalMiles) November 9, 2021 Words are just words, so there’s no loss from being excessively bullish or bearish, but in options markets there’s a cost for placing those bets. …

The number of Ethereum addresses holding 32 or more Ether (ETH) reached a one-month low on Nov. 9. The number of Externally Owned Ethereum Addresses (EOA) fell to 108,949 compared to 108,965 on Oct. 22, according to data from Glassnode, a sign that traders and investors ignored the prospects of becoming validators on its upcoming proof-of-stake blockchain, dubbed Ethereum 2.0. In detail, staking in Ethereum 2.0 requires users to deposit 32 ETH into a designated smart contract address to become a full node validator. In doing so, the depositor gains the right to manage data, process transactions, and add new …
