Cryptocurrency Markets Hit New 2019 High as Rally Resumes

Many expected Bitcoin to hit resistance at $4,000 and fall back again in a pattern repeated countless times this year.
 Instead it has broken through it and settled at the 200 moving average level at around $4,200.
 This movement has pulled the rest of the altcoins up to a new 2019 high in terms of market cap.
It seems as though CNBC has jinxed things yet again with another famous prediction in the opposite direction;
Markets are currently trading at their highest levels this year and at a market cap close to the Christmas Eve rally that took it to $146 billion.
 In the past 12 hours or so around $9 billion has been pumped in to cryptocurrencies pushing markets to a 2019 high of $144 billion.
 Daily volume is back over $30 billion once again and OKEx and Binance are the leading two exchanges with around a billion dollars in trade a piece.
 Bitcoin has commanded things again as it broke through crucial resistance a few hours ago.
 It is currently trading at $4,190, up 5.2% on the day.




The crypto twittersphere appears to be more excited about this than when BTC was hitting new highs back in 2017.
A move to $5,000 would signal that the bottom is in and the crypto winter is starting to thaw.
 The two crypto assets dominating things at the moment are Ethereum and EOS. Ethereum has surged around 12% on the day as it hits $165.
 Daily volume is up to $5 billion which is what we were getting for Bitcoin a month or so ago. Constantinople and Petersberg upgrades are due this week which is likely to be driving ETH momentum.
 EOS is the other big mover at the moment as it also adds 12% and reaches $4.30.
 Since the beginning of the year EOS has made an impressive 67% recovery and cemented itself as the fourth largest cryptocurrency.
Litecoin is also having a ball today as it pumps a further 7% as it pushes past $52.
NEO is getting some action during the current trading session as it surges 20% to $10.60.
 Likewise with Maker which has been performing solidly this month.
 MKR is up 14% today to $760 and a whopping 100% since the beginning of February.
 Ontology also needs a mention as it is the top performing altcoin at the moment with a massive surge of 30% as it reaches twentieth spot with a market cap of $386 million.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
