Analysisa 15.10.2017: 2 Things to Watch Next Week :Byzantium, Bitcoin Stretched



1.            Ethereum’s Byzantium Upgrade is Here

In only a few hours time the second largest blockchain network will go through one of its biggest upgrades yet, when the block 4,370,000 is hit sometime around 6:00 UTC on Monday. The large Byzantium upgrade, the first part of Metropolis, seems to be in for a smooth start, but the coin is headed into the much-awaited event with mixed price action. The digital currency first hit a 5-week high above $340 on Saturday, thanks to the positive prospects of the fork, but it pulled back today to trade back below the crucial $330 support/resistance line.
Should the hard-fork upgrade go as planned, the price of the token might follow the path of Bitcoin after the Bitcoin Cash fork, and approach all-time highs in the coming weeks. In any case, volatility should increase significantly tomorrow, so short-term traders should be controlling position sizes even more than usual.

2.           Bitcoin Overbought but Will that Matter?

The most valuable coin had a great run, gaining almost 100% since the latest deep correction. The digital currency was the definite leader of the segment, storming past the historic $5000 price level and the previous all-time high, while altcoins lagged behind. With Ethererum and Litecoin gathering strength and Monero also showing signs of activity, another round of “rotation” might be happening in crypto world.
Low correlations are the hallmarks of bull markets, and a healthy correction in BTC would be a welcome development for bulls. That said, with the great fundamental background the coin might be in for another mind-blowing surge, so keeping some chips on the table is a good idea, without forgetting the rising correction risk, of course.

Analysis 23.10.2017 : Notable Bitcoin Price Growth Events in October

  October has been an interesting month for Bitcoin, with growth of about 40% so far, breaking a market cap of over $101,881,681,652. But if you are looking at Bitcoin long-term, this is more than just numbers now. Yes, Bitcoin did experience some explosive growth this month (and has been this entire year), but we shouldn’t let that distract us from some of the main components that will fuel Bitcoin’s growth in the long-term. Not only did the price break $6,000 per Bitcoin for the first time ever, we started to see Bitcoin’s market cap rate  surpass that of big banks such as Goldman Sachs ($93 billion) and Morgan Stanley ($89 billion) . While comparing the market capitalization of a cryptocurrency with that of publicly traded companies doesn’t make much financial sense, it’s entertaining to watch financial institutions stress out about Bitcoin. For example, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase Jamie Dimon  can’t stop talking  about Bitcoin and venting h...
