Bitcoin Price Watch; Here’s What’s on TodayIn our discussions on the bitcoin price, and our trading of it, on Tuesday, we noted that the action we had seen across the last couple of days was pretty flat. In response, we said we would trade a very tight range in the hope of getting in on a breakout entry, and that we would go for some equally tight scalp targets on the positions we took. Action yesterday afternoon put us long on a break of resistance at 422, and we targeted an upside of four dollars towards 426. We didn’t get the sustained run we had hoped for during the afternoon, and we remained long as we published the second of our twice daily bitcoin price watch pieces yesterday evening. read more

Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis for 04/06/2016 – Nearing Channel ResistanceThe 100 SMA is above the 200 SMA so the path of least resistance is to the upside. If bullish pressure is strong enough, bitcoin price could even go for an upside break of the channel resistance, spurring a stronger rally for the virtual currency. RSI is treading sideways, indicating that consolidation could carry on and that buyers and sellers are still undecided. However, stochastic is already indicating overbought conditions so a selloff might take place sooner or later... read more

Therefore, we asked Research and Markets, the hosters of the report, if they could provide us with a full, abridged or summary version so as to judge its authenticity. Unfortunately, we were informed by Research and Markets that they do not have a full copy, they only host it for sale. They directed us to Infoholic Research as the producers of the report. We enquired whether Research and Markets undertakes any verification or authentication of reports they host, but we have not yet received a reply. read more

Proof of Individuality, the New-Age Security on BlockchainThe virtual world is full of threats; Sybil attacks make a sizeable chunk of it. Especially with the increasing implementation and usage of peer-to-peer networks, the network infrastructure lies more exposed to such attacks than ever. Cryptocurrencies also use a form of peer-to-peer network, which naturally puts them on the list as well. The magnitude of threat is now being countered by the development and implementation of anti-Sybil protocols. Proof of Individuality is one of the protocols currently being developed to counter Sybil attacks. The term Sybil is based on a book by the... read more

Why OpenBazaar is Not Your Average Bitcoin MarketplaceOpenBazaar is one of those projects Bitcoin and blockchain enthusiasts have been looking forward to for quite a long time. Although the software was available in beta form for general testing as well, the marketplace solution is not officially released to the public. This decentralized peer-to-peer trade network has a lot of potential to shake up the world as we know it, as it cuts out any middleman, and there are no fees... read more

Bitcoin Price Watch; Scalp Morning SessionAs you can see, price just recently broke through the level we had slated as in term resistance, which put us in a long trade towards an upside target of 425. Unfortunately, however, while we did see something of a sustained run to the upside, price only reached 422 before reversing, and spiking back down into our rage to take us out of the trade on a stop loss hit for a small loss on the position. The broken resistance is now offering up some degree of support, however, so we will be keeping an eye on it as today’s session matures. read more

Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis for 04/05/2016 – Low Volatility So Far…The moving averages are oscillating so the consolidation could carry on for the time being. A break past the $420 level could generate enough bullish momentum for a test of the channel resistance at $430. On the other hand, if the $420 area keeps gains in check, another test of support around $410-415 could take place. RSI is treading sideways, also suggesting that consolidation could stay in play. Stochastic is on the move up, which means that buyers are in control, but this oscillator is already indicating overbought conditions. Once it turns lower, sellers could gain the upper hand. read more

CFTC Commissioner Advocates More Lenient Regulation for Blockchain TechnologyVarious regulators around the world are concerned as to how the CFTC might look to hamper the growth of development and innovation in the world of blockchain technology.

Quite an interesting turn of events in the regulatory world, but overall, a positive sign for the digital currency ecosystem... read more

Venture Capitalists Inject Nearly Half a Billion in Bitcoin throughout 2015After the significant growth of venture capitalist funding of Bitcoin and blockchain companies in 2014, a lot of industry experts were wondering if this trend was sustainable in the years to come. Keeping in mind how numbers increased from US$80m in 2013, all the way to US$299m in 2014, such a spectacular growth would be hard to match for any industry. But Bitcoin and blockchain technology startups continue to read

How Bitcoin Benefits Small and Medium-sized BusinessesBitcoin is still an attractive sphere for investment, despite the fact that financiers and developers switched their attention to the blockchain. In the last year alone, venture capital investments in cryptocurrency start-ups reached a record level. The sphere of cryptocurrency is interesting primarily for small and medium-sized investors, not global corporations. According to the head of the London Ledger Partners Jeremy Miller, up to 90% of the Bitcoin capitalization falls on family investment companies. In comparison with other assets, the digital currency brings them big profits. read more

Mason Borda Orders a Tesla with BitcoinIt is now possible to buy anything with bitcoin. Starting with something as simple as a pizza worth $10 to a brand new high tech electric automobile. Bitcoin has come a long way since it was first introduced in 2008.

Bitcoin Price Watch; Bullish Start to the Week?At the close of the week on Friday, we noted that we often see a big move during the weekend, and that this move more often than not comes on a Sunday. As things turned out, we did get a decent move, but it came late Friday night rather than Sunday. The chart below illustrates the move – an upside break through the level we had slated as in term resistance at around midnight on the Friday in question, which brought the bitcoin price to trade at fresh highs of 420 flat. From this level price corrected, and has been trading at or within a pretty tight range since – a range that we will incorporate into today’s trading... read more

Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis for 04/04/2016 – Slow Crawl!The 100 SMA is below the 200 SMA for now so the path of least resistance might be to the downside. However, an upward crossover appears to be taking place to show a pickup in bullish strength. If so, bitcoin price could make a stronger attempt to rally towards the channel resistance. Stochastic is making its way down from the overbought level to show a return in bearish pressure. RSI is also heading south so bitcoin price might follow suit. In that case, price could attempt a break below the channel support around $410-415 and go for more losses until the channel lows at $380. read more

The Bitcoin Standard Would Bring An End To Central Bank LendingWhile banks will never fully embrace Bitcoin as we know it today, there is no reason for blatant disrespect of this popular digital currency either. Bitcoin has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and that has been a thorn in the side for banks, as digital currency is direct competition for the centralized banking system. Comparing Bitcoin to gold is great, but in the end, ultimately futile, and based on a few misunderstandings. While it is true the total supply of gold cannot be manipulated by central banks, the majority of this precious metal is stored in bank vaults. Moving funds out of that fault requires time and a lot of paperwork, giving banks a way to exert control over the availability... continue to read

The process of buying and selling goods has been around since the concept of money was introduced to mankind. Until now, the retail sector has not seen much change in the way trade is conducted. But in the coming years it may start bearing a new look resembling scenes from old science fiction movies. Bitcoin will also be included in this change, indicates a recent survey.

As part of the survey, employees working in the country’s retail sector were asked to participate in a poll where they were asked questions about the current and future outlook of the sector and the changes they are expecting in the future. responses from... continue to read

Dogecoin Price Weekly Analysis – 50.0 Satoshis Hold KeyDogecoin price traded positively during the start of this past week and broke a major bearish trend line formed on the 4-hours chart (data feed from HitBTC). Moreover, the price also moved above the 100 simple moving average on the same chart and traded close to the 64.0-65.0 Satoshis area where it found sellers. The price traded down sharply to lose all its gains and even broke the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the 50.0 Satoshis to 63.4 Satoshis. The broken trend line and the 100 SMA is currently providing support to the price. However, the most important support is near 50.0 Satoshis, which acted as a support on many occasions and may continue to do so. read more

Ethereum Price Weekly Analysis – Move Finally Coming? Ethereum price mostly traded in a range of $-10-12 this past week, as there was no major news event. However, the best thing, which may favor the bulls is the fact that the price closed the week above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). There was a dip this past week towards $10.00, but bears failed to gain momentum and break the stated level. On the upside, the price struggled on a couple of occasions around the $12.00 level, as there is a bearish trend line formed on the 4-hours chart of Ethereum price (data feed via Kraken) acting as a barrier. Recently, the price failed to break the 61.8% Fib... read the whole article |
