Cryptocurrencies 23.10.2017 : Ether Prices Fall Below $300 Amid Technical Breakdown

Ether declined against the dollar this weekend, and is now approaching a critical support level as the market corrected lower following last week’s failed rally.

$350 Proves Elusive

ETH/USD was last seen trading around $293, down more than 1% from the previous close. Technical headwinds are limiting ether’s momentum, according to the MACD and Relative Strength Index (RSI).
Ether’s rally last week stopped short at $350 on two occasions, as the bulls disavowed their long positions. The subsequent breakdown through the weekend erased 16% from Ethereum’s value.
At present levels, the Ethereum blockchain is capitalized at nearly $28 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
The world’s second-largest digital currency by market cap faces immediate support near $290. On the opposite side of the spectrum, resistance is likely found in the $305-$310 region.

Upgrade Still Not Stable

Ether underwent a successful hard fork last week, but the blockchain has yet to be deemed stable by its chief developer Vitalik Buterin. Ethereum’s chief architect has already informed the market that up to two months of further testing may be needed to fully secure the blockchain.
The first leg of the Metropolis hard fork occurred last Monday after block 4,370,000 was mined. The blockchain successfully avoided a chain split even after Geth developers addressed a last-minute denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability. Geth is the most popular software on the Ethereum network.
The Metropolis protocol will require a second update, called Constantinople, before it is function. No timeline for the Constantinople upgrade has been provided.

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...
