The range in the ETH/BTC pair continues for another week. On the other hand Dash continues to slowly gain ground on bitcoin.
Range in ETH/BTC Continues

The weeks-long trading range in ETH/BTC continues. We are currently quoted at 0.07304, up by few percentage points since last week. No important support/resistance points have been taken out yet.

As you can see on the chart below, the range is getting ever narrower, a good indicator that we will see a breakout soon. Will the catalyst be Metropolis, the expected protocol upgrade? If everything goes well on the testnet, Byzantium, the first part of the Metropolis upgrade, should launch around October 9th.

Both Bitcoin and Litecoin traded mostly flat since our last update seven days ago. Bitcoin is quoted at $3,920 dollars per coin right now, down from $3,974 last Tuesday. Its little brother is trading at $52.71, down by 3.1 percent.

Bitcoin Mostly Flat

Bitcoin prices are down by $54 since our update last week. In percentage terms this is only 1.36%. This calming follows a period of high volatility during which prices fell over $1,200 in three days, only to recover most of the losses in the next four days. Since then we bounced back and forth between the $3,500 and $4,000 handles.

Interesting thread! I have added it to my list of threads to follow. I am wondering though. Other than commentary, do you always post buy or sell entry points? I would have liked to know what to do this week in this flat market since it is only Wednesday. Should I just sit on my alts patiently? All out of Bitcoin to spend.

Bitcoin prices rallied into another fork of the protocol and fell right after. Litecoin followed a similar pattern of first up, then down.

Bitcoin Rallies Into Another Fork

It’s a fork year for bitcoin! The door opened by bitcoin cash back in August is now in use again. The new (potential) fork is called bitcoin gold with the major change being a GPU-friendly mining algorithm. The supposed ‘snapshot’ happened early this morning on block 491,407. According to a help FAQ by Coinbase, the Bitcoin Gold team will pre-mine 100,000 Bitcoin Gold coins before releasing the software to the public. Unlike previous forks, the network will not be usable for several days until a working software is released.

The downtrends in both Ether and Dash are continuing. Both cryptos have made new lows since our update last Thursday.

Ether Downtrend Continues

Ether keeps making new lows versus BTC, trading at 0.05 BTC, down from 0.053 BTC last week. We traded as low as 0.04661 going into the bitcoin fork . People dumped everything to buy BTC in order to receive the ‘free dividend’. These money flows got sharly reversed post-fork on October 24th when prices spiked to a high of 0.05545 BTC. But these highs were quickly sold into and we are quoted near the 0.05 round figure again.
