Bitcoin is positioned well to be a safe-haven asset.
Bitcoin loses half of its value in two-day plunge
March 13, 2020
Bitcoin’s recent price action is primarily a result of the corona virus outbreak affecting global markets and driving investors towards the safety of cash. With this sharp decline, Bitcoin’s potential as a safe-haven asset is being questioned, but we believe it is too early to seek any correlations between Bitcoin and other asset classes.

Bitcoin Plummets Nearly 30% In A Matter Of Hours
March 12, 2020
Bitcoin is currently trading in a very strong support zone between $5,600 and $6,200 and is likely to bounce back from here. The coming week will be crucial in establishing a floor for this recent drop. If Bitcoin closes below $5,500, then $5,000 would be tested very quickly. The upside, on the other hand, remains limited to $6,500 and $7,000 for now.

Is Bitcoin Really A Safe-Haven Asset?
March 09, 2020
Bitcoin is positioned very well to be a safe-haven asset. Crypto’s correlations are very dynamic as of now, shifting from equities to gold, depending on the prevalent situation. The recent crypto sell-off, in tandem with global equities, merely represents a general risk aversion going into a possible economic crunch, and does not necessarily invalidate Bitcoin’s safe-haven status.
Bitcoin Faces Strong Resistance After Recent Rally
March 05, 2020
Moving forward, Bitcoin will need to face the 50-day moving average, which is acting as a resistance level at $9,300. Only after breaching this resistance and then re-testing it for support can Bitcoin set the foundation to tackle $9,500, $9,800 and then $10,000.
As Fed Contemplates Coronavirus-Prompted Easing, Bitcoin Traders Bet on Halving
February 29, 2020
We see a lot of these global actions having some impact on bitcoin, but there’s also things that are happening in the bitcoin network, and that could have a larger impact than the Fed cutting interest rates. I’m still bullish for bitcoin for the year, and a major reason is the halving.
What's Next For Bitcoin After Its Recent Drop?
February 20, 2020
On the bright side, the $9,500 level is providing decent support for now, and the $9,000 price point is becoming a stronger foundation every day it is not breached. Moving forward, we can expect the price to fluctuate between $9,500 and $10,000, with a drop to $9,000 being the worst-case scenario.
XRP Reaches Latest 2020 High As Bullish Trend Continues
February 13, 2020
XRP has surged significantly since its lowest point in December last year. Most of these gains can be attributed to the overall market sentiment turning positive and Bitcoin steadily rising in price from under $6,500 on December 18 to over $10,000 today.

What's Next For Bitcoin After Its Drop Below $10,000?
February 10, 2020
By Joe DiPasquale – “The recent rally had also entered into the overbought zone, exhausting bulls and resulting in the current decline. We can expect some consolidation in the current range before technical indicators cool down and Bitcoin makes another move above $10,000”
Is Bitcoin Struggling To Reach $10,000?
February 8, 2020

Bitcoin Prices Rise To Highest Since October
February 5, 2020
By Joe DiPasquale – “Bitcoin has surpassed $9,500 and is trading above $9,700. However, the resistance range still holds ($9,500 marked the start of the zone and it ends around $9,850). If today’s candle closes well above $9,500, then we can start considering $9,500 as a weak support.”

Bitcoin Recovers After Falling To Lowest Since May
December 18, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “Bitcoin fell as low as $6,430 before a quick bounce-back took it all the way to $7,210, where it faced resistance and triggered selling. From here, the price recovery is expected to lose steam, with the first resistance at $7,500 and a bigger one at $8,000.”
XRP Falls To Lowest Since 2017 As Crypto Markets See Red
December 17, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “XRP has been historically very sensitive to adoption-related news pertaining to banking and money services partners, since they represent the biggest clientele for Ripple’s services. In light of this, the statement from MoneyGram has dealt a big blow to XRP’s already weak position, especially since it was believed Ripple and MoneyGram would have a closer relationship due to the former’s investment in the latter. Now, with Bitcoin’s price also experiencing downward pressure, we expect XRP to slide further due to this news.”
Is Bitcoin Oversold After Its Latest Drop?
December 16, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “Bitcoin is currently approaching the oversold threshold. At the moment it is being held up by a very weak support, around $6,800, which was briefly tested the last time on May 12 and 13, 2019. Downward pressure continues to mount as both, the 150-day and 50-day moving averages have declined, from $9,500 and $8,360, on December 1, to $9,125 and $8,069 today.”

December 9, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “With thinning volumes and negative market sentiment, Bitcoin is likely to trade sideways and even drop down to $6k before attempting a bigger recovery.

Bitcoin’s Surge This Morning Shows Market's Vulnerability
December 4, 2019

Bitcoin Trades Range-Bound As Investors Wait And See
December 3, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “Bitcoin is in a general downward trend with temporary technical bounces from oversold price points. The upcoming holiday season may also result in thinning volumes, adding further pressure on the price. Meanwhile, investors have adopted a wait and watch approach to see if any market catalysts help conclusively drive the market in a particular direction.”
Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC/USD next rendezvous could be $6,000
December 3, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “If the current support at $7,500 is breached conclusively, the next stop would be $6,000. The maximum upside, meanwhile, is limited to $9,500. A break down is more likely than a break upward, however, due to low volumes, repeated new lows, and low sentiment.”

December 3, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “If the current support at $7,500 is breached conclusively, the next stop would be $6,000. The maximum upside, meanwhile, is limited to $9,500. A break down is more likely than a break upward, however, due to low volumes, repeated new lows, and low sentiment.”
Is Technical Analysis Prophetic or Preposterous? We Asked 7 Crypto Traders
December 2, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “The recent surge at the end of October, due to the Chinese media hype, is a good example of an unsustainable speculation-driven move that has now returned to our previously indicated support around $8,100. echnical analysis is what led us to believe that the high reached after Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke was ephemeral and would retrace back to just above $8,000.”
US Lawmakers Want to Brand Libra a Security, Association Disagrees

Bitcoin Prices Fall To Their Lowest Since May

Market Update: Cryptos Shed Billions in Rapid Sell-Off
November 22, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “This price drop is a technical move; this is where the price was before the news of China’s support of blockchain, which is not crypto. So, the price of [BTC] is simply returning to normal. However, more downside cannot be ruled out, since the recent drop has turned sentiments to negative.”
Bitcoin’s Slide Accelerates After Key Technical Level Breached
November 21, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “This price drop is a technical move; this is where the price was before the news of China’s support of blockchain, which is not crypto.So, the price of Bitcoin is simply returning to normal. However, more downside cannot be ruled out, since the recent drop has turned sentiments to negative.”
Bitcoin Tumbles 4.7%, Most in Two Months, as China-Fueled Enthusiasm Wanes
November 18, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – “We expect for there to be some investors taking profit after these big newsworthy spikes,there haven’t been enough developments since then to create additional enthusiasm among traders and investors. Bitcoin had traded for several weeks in a range between $9,100 and $9,600, so a recent move below that level may have spurred some traders to sell, exacerbating the price drop. Trading volumes also have been unusually low recently,”
Is Bitcoin Stuck In A Bearish Trend?
November 15, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – Bitcoin is trading below the 50-day moving average of $8,600, which was acting as support throughout last week. We can expect the price to find temporary relief around $8,400 and $8,200. However, a drop to $8,000 is a real possibility.
Bitcoin Prices Surged Close To 4% In Under 10 Minutes
November 10, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – The current move is a technical recovery. We mentioned previously that we expect the 50-day moving average to continue acting as support, and that has allowed the price to recover temporarily. However, the 200-day moving average is still a strong resistance at $9,200 and Bitcoin needs to surpass that level with good volumes to put $10,000 on the radar – failing to do so would keep the possibility of a return to $8,000 alive.

Bitcoin Defies Death Cross, Surging Close To 20%
October 25, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – China’s endorsement of blockchain technology helped Bitcoin recover, and along the way, a short squeeze helped push prices even higher. The death cross has, for now, been averted, since the 50-day and 200-day moving averages have not yet crossed. That being said, Bitcoin still needs to cross $9,000 to get out of the danger zone.
BITCOIN HASH RATE APPROACHING 120,000,000 TH/S AMID MARKET CRASH
October 24, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – Smart money sold out in advance of today’s [Libra] hearings. Investors appear to have taken a cautious approach ahead of the hearing by limiting their exposure to crypto. We believe the price of BTC will remain under pressure for at least the next 24 hours, if not through Monday.
Is Bitcoin Poised For Further Losses After Its Recent Drop?
October 24, 2019
By Joe DiPasquale – Bitcoin’s technical analysis indicates a death cross is near. The last time these averages converged was a golden cross (the 50-day average rose above the 200-day average), the opposite of a death cross, and happened near the end of April this year, when Bitcoin was around $5,000. Bitcoin subsequently rose to over $8,000 without any major correction.
