Ether Downtrend Still in Force

The downtrend for ETH/BTC continues for another week. Right now the crypto is trading at 0.05492 per BTC, around 4 percent off the lows.



We’ve been mostly range-bound during the past few days but we’re still far from ending the bearish trend on the daily charts. For that to happen the bulls need to push us above the 0.06030 BTC swing high. Higher up a break above 0.072 BTC is needed to trigger a new uptrend.

Below current prices there’s major support in the 0.050 – 0.052 BTC area. A decisive break below the 0.05 round figure would exacerbate the losses for Ether. On the longer-term charts ETH/BTC is looking range-bound on the weeklies but bullish on the monthly charts.

Thank you for your efforts in coming up with this analysis.

I don't know if I should agree or disagree with you because in the past weeks (or even months), no one seems to be getting the prediction right anymore. The bearish market is making everyone look like noobs in the cryptospace. Technical analysis are good but it's still basically influenced by fundamental analysis.

Good analysis all the same. Let's hope that the market will agree with you on this in the coming weeks.

Even though the price is going down, it's creating the opportunity for the investor to buy bitcoin at a lower price and sell it when the price rises. The price will rise up very soon. Probably at the end of May, it'll start rising up. So, don't worry and hold your coins because the best is about to come.

Bitcoin Back in Range After Spike

Bitcoin prices surged from $6,859 to $8,069 dollars yesterday, a gain of 17.64 percent. We are currently quoted at $8,048 dollars per coin. But what’s even more astounding is that the spike happened during the span of forty minutes. No major news can be pinned to the sudden buying as of yet.



While the shocking gains today may tempt some to ‘FOMO‘ back in, bitcoin is now only in a range on the daily charts. A new bullish trend requires a breakout above the $9,165 swing high. Below we find weaker resistance levels at $9,018 and $9,000 dollars. Above there’s the $10,000 round figure, an important psychological barrier. This is followed by more resistance at $10,680, $11,000 and $11,769 dollars.

On the way down there’s a strong area of support around $6,420 to $6,600 dollars. A clearing of this support and a move below $6,420 would re-start the downtrend in BTC/USD. Further down we have this year’s low at $5,980 dollars. A breakdown below here may lead to more losses. Lower still the area around the $5,000 round figure is another notable support. On the weekly charts bitcoin is also range-bound but the monthlies are keeping the bullish bias.

bitcoin price started rising and that meant altcoins should start their dumps more and as their value goes down against BTC the speed of it is not the same as bitcoin price rise which is why their USD value seemingly increases but the reality is that they are losing value.

at times like this investors are better off going back to bitcoin which is why the altcoins get dumped in first place.

No Follow-through for Bitcoin

Bitcoin prices are having a hard time making headway during the past five days. We saw a new high of $8,425 on Sunday but this was quickly sold into by the bears. We are currently quoted at $8,102 dollars.



Bitcoin is still in a range on the daily charts. To end it we need a breakout above $8,425 dollars to the upside. As usual we’re looking for a decisive breakout here not just a brief and shallow spike higher. Higher up there’s more resistance around the $9,000 round figure and the $9,165 swing high. Further up we have the $10,000 round figure, an important psychological barrier. This is followed by more resistance at $10,680, $11,000 and $11,769 dollars.

On the lower end the bears need a break of the support around the $6,420 swing low. A clearing of this strong support area would open the way for a break of this year’s low at $5,980 dollars per coin. On the longer-term weekly charts BTC/USD is range-bound as well. The monthly charts are still looking bullish.

Bitcoin Rally Continues

The rally in BTC/USD continues with more gains during the past few days. As noted previously, with the break above the $8,425 dollars swing high we’re back in a bull market on the daily charts.



There’s weak resistance higher up at $9,887 dollars followed by a stronger level at the $10,000 round figure, an important psychological barrier. This is followed by more resistance at $10,680, $11,000 and $11,769 dollars. Fundamentally no major news have been released to trigger the current bull market in cryptos. The several smaller news events have been both bullish and bearish for the price.

The current rally may end if we get a decisive break below the $7,821 swing low. A new bearish trend needs a break of the support around the $6,420 swing low. A clearing of this strong support area would open the way for a break of this year’s low at $5,980 dollars per coin. On the longer-term weekly charts BTC/USD is range-bound but the monthly charts are keeping the bullish bias.

More Gains for Bitcoin

Since last Tuesday bitcoin prices advanced by $439 dollars or almost 5 percent. Naturally the uptrend on the daily charts is still in place. To end it the bears will have to push us below the $8,650 swing low. A new downtrend requires a breakdown below the next swing low at $7,821 dollars per coin.



Further down there’s strong support around the $6,420 swing low. A clearing of this strong support area would open the way for a break of this year’s low at $5,980 dollars per coin. Higher up there’s some resistance at the psychological $10,000 figure, followed by more resistance at $10,680, $11,000 and $11,769 dollars. On the weekly charts BTC/USD is range-bound but the monthly charts are still keeping the bullish bias.

Similarly to last week there have been no major news catalyst behind the moves. There has been some chatter from China regarding the legality of some bitcoin trading platforms but so far there hasn’t been any fire, only smoke.

Bitcoin, Litecoin Rallies Stall

The rally in both bitcoin and litecoin is stalling. One BTC is selling for $9,342 right now, down from $9,764 dollars last Tuesday. Litecoin is trading lower by $4 dollars to $157 per coin.

Bitcoin Rally Stalls

As noted above, the rally in BTC/USD is somewhat stalling. Prices topped out at $9,987 dollars five days ago and since then it’s been a slow ride down. Early this morning we dipped below the $9,000 round figure briefly but recovered quickly for a second time. However the bulls may not be so lucky the third time around, another retest may lead to a breakdown lower.


The potential trend-ending support stands at the $8,815 swing low although not far from here there’s more decent support at the $8,650 swing low. A new downtrend may commence on a decisive break below the $8,000 round figure. Further down there’s some support around the former swing low at $7,287 dollars.

Bitcoin, Litecoin Back in a Bear Market

Both bitcoin and litecoin are back in a bear market on the daily charts. One bitcoin is selling for $8,722 dollars right now while LTC is quoted at $145,66 dollars per coin.

Bitcoin Back in a Downtrend

As noted in our previous article, BTC/USD is now back in a bear market. Last week we saw a drop of over $1,000 dollars during which a low of $8,202 was hit. From here we got somewhat of a dead-cat bounce, helped by the Consensus conference.



But with the event already underway and technicals turning bearish, speculators could start to ‘sell the news’. Weak support on the way down can be found at the $8,202 swing low, followed by the $8,000 round figure. Further down we have more support at $7,821, another notable swing low. A strong support area below can be found in the $6,420 to $6,600 dollars range. This is where we bottomed out during the last selloff. A decisive break below here could open the door for a break of this year’s low at $5,980 dollars.

Ether Loses Momentum, Dash Up

Ether has lost the upward momentum versus BTC. While a new swing high was made today, the coin has made meager gains in the past two weeks.
Ether Loses Momentum
Ether prices have lost the positive momentum vs bitcoin. We are currently quoted at 0.08414 BTC, below the highs hit back on May 6th.



Nonetheless, ETH/BTC remains in an uptrend on the daily charts. To end it the bears will have to make a decisive push below the 0.07703 BTC swing low. A breakdown below 0.07413 BTC is needed for a new downtrend.

Higher up there’s weak resistance above the 0.085 BTC round figure. This is followed by the 0.08829 swing high and the 0.09 and 0.1 BTC round figures. A decisive breakout above here may open to door to this year’s high at 0.121 BTC. On the longer-term weekly charts Ether is range-bound. The trend is bullish on the monthly charts, which take a longer time to turn.

Bitcoin, Litecoin Continue Downtrends

Both bitcoin and litecoin are continuing their downtrends. Bitcoin is quoted at $8,290 right now, lower by 4.5 percent since last Tuesday. Litecoin is trading at $133 dollars, down by 9.5 percent.

Bitcoin Still Bearish

Bitcoin is still looking bearish on the daily charts. On Friday we hit a new interim low of $7,921 but from here we got a bounce to $8,590 dollars. Right now we’re somewhat in between these two figures at $8,290 dollars.

Ether in Range

Ether prices are back in a range vs bitcoin on the daily charts. You can see this range marked with a yellow rectangle on the charts below. The pair dropped to a low of 0.07437 BTC earlier today during a bout of selling across the board. With a previous swing low at 0.07413 BTC, this formed somewhat of a double bottom.



A clearing of this bottom would start a new downtrend in ETH/BTC. On the upside the bulls need a breakout above the most recent swing high at 0.08542 BTC. This could re-start the move higher. Resistance above can be found at the 0.08829 swing high and the 0.09 and 0.1 BTC round figures. A decisive breakout above here may open to door to this year’s high at 0.121 BTC. On the longer-term weekly charts Ether is also range-bound. The trend is bullish on the monthlies but these charts take a longer time to turn.

The major event today and the reason for selling in ETH and BTC was news that the U.S. Justice Department entered a criminal probe into crypto price manipulation. The article says that the investigation is focused on illegal practices that can influence prices such as spoofing, or flooding the market with fake orders to trick other traders into buying or selling. Bloomberg specifically lists BTC and ETH as some of the coin markets that are being investigated. This was probably the reason why the selling was concentrated in these two cryptos while some others fared better.

Everything You Need To Know About Ethereum



In the world of Cryptocurrencies, there are “fundamental technologies”. Some digital currencies can give rise to new Cryptocurrencies through their technology. The most important project in developing this idea is Ethereum, a decentralized revolutionary concept of reasonable contracts. The innumerable applications for this technology make Ethereum the second Cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Ethereum has become a standard in the field of Cryptocurrencies. It allows practically any application to be developed, and other developers have taken advantage of this to create new Cryptocurrencies. The Blockchain of Ethereum is much more advanced than the Bitcoin one.

It uses a very robust work test hash function and is a complete Turing system. This means that Ethereum is a kind of integral programming language.

Bitcoin, Litecoin Slightly Higher

Both bitcoin and litecoin are trading slightly higher since our last update. Bitcoin is quoted at $7,617 dollars compared to $7,482 back then, a gain of just under 2 percent. Litecoin is trading at $120 dollars right now, up by $3 dollars.
Bitcoin has advanced higher by almost 2 percent in a low volatility environment. The high during the past seven days was at $7,775 and the low at $7,270 dollars, a range of $505 dollars or close to 7 percent. This is very low compared to recent price movements. For example the 14 week ATR (Average True Range) is around $1,500 while the 5 week ATR is at almost $1,000 dollars.



Yesterday we got close to the low from last Wednesday after bitcoin exchange Bitfinex went down. Prices quickly bounced back after the site relaunched. Markets are rightly worried about a Bitfinex outage, back in August of 2016 the exchange said that it lost 120,000 bitcoins to a hack.

Dash continues to be in downtrend on the daily charts. Ether almost joined in last week after the 0.074 BTC swing low was taken out but prices quickly reversed higher.

Ether Back in Range

After a strong V-shaped reversal ETH/BTC is back in a range on the daily charts. This range is marked with a yellow rectangle on the chart below. We are currently quoted at 0.07824 BTC.



A break below the 0.07 round figure is needed to re-start the down move. This is where we bottomed out during the latest swing lower and it almost matches the low made back on May 1st (0.06994 BTC). A clearing of this strong support could lead to extended losses below. Further down weaker support can be found at 0.06606 BTC, the 0.06 round figure and this year’s low at 0.0524 BTC. The next round figure at 0.05 BTC may also act as temporary support to falling prices.

Another week of red for the crypto-currency market. Bitcoin prices are nearing the lows set early this year. Litecoin barreled through the $100 mark and is currently quoted at $93 dollars per coin.

Bitcoin Nears Yearly Lows

Bitcoin hit a low of $6,129 earlier in the day, only $149 dollars away from the 2018 low at $5,980. The strong support around the $6,400 level seems to be cleared now although a short-term dead-cat bounce is not out of the question. We are currently quoted at $6,488 dollars.



The trend on the daily chart remains down. To end it we need a breakout above the $7,775 swing high. A move above here would also start a new rally in prices. Higher up there’s more resistance at $8,590 and 8,880 dollars per coin. The $10,000 round figure is another notable resistance level. This is where the last major push up died. A clear break above could lead to further gains.

Ether prices jumped after a SEC official made a statement that the crypto is not a security. Dash is trading barely changed compared to one week ago.

Ether Jumps on SEC Statement

At the Yahoo Finance’s All Market Summit: Crypto in San Francisco, the U.S. SEC Director of Corporate Finance William Hinman said that the commission would not be classifying ether or bitcoin as securities. Tokens that ‘run’ on the ether blockchain may be classified as securities. Over the past few months there were worries that regulation could spill over from the token market to ETH itself. More of this clarified SEC position here.

Some Gains Across Crypto Market

The crypto market is seeing some gains across the board. Bitcoin is up to $6,700 from $6,315 dollars and LTC is at $97 dollars, up from $93 dollars last week.

Bitcoin Higher but Downtrend Remains

Bitcoin is up 6 percent by since our last update. Prices bottomed out at $6,129 dollars last week, very close to the all-time low for BTC/USD at $5,980 dollars.



However despite the gains the downtrend on the daily charts remains. To end it the bulls will have to take us above the $7,775 swing high. A move above here would also restart the rally. Higher up there’s more resistance at $8,590 and 8,880 dollars per coin. The $10,000 round figure is another notable resistance level. A clear breakout above could lead to further gains.
