Cryptocurrencies 27.10.2017 : Ethereum’s Comeback Stalls at $300 (Again)

Prices rose above $340 earlier this month as the bitcoin rally carried the cryptocurrency market to near-record highs.
Ether has been in a perpetual state of decline against rival bitcoin for the better part of four months. The ETH/BTC cross currently trades at around 0.05. Ether has declined more than 60% against bitcoin since mid-June.

Tokens 2.0

Earlier this week, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin declared that 90% of tokens will fail. But rather than give a gloomy outlook, Buterin said the next phase of cryptocurrency startups will be better than ever.
He calls this phase, which will arrive sooner than you think, “Tokens 2.0.” Naturally, that means we are currently in “Tokens 1.0.”
Initial coin offerings (ICOs), the controversial crowdfunding model that is scaring the pants off regulators, have grown at a mind-numbing rate. Most of these ICOs are using Buterin’s network to launch their tokens. More than $2.3 billion has flowed into token crowdsales this year alone, dwarfing early-stage venture capital financing.
It’s uncertain exactly what “Tokens 2.0” will bring. Better ideas and more advanced technology are a given. The real question is the regulatory landscape that will underpin ICOs and cryptocurrency more generally. Nation-states are still feeling their way through this market and arriving at entirely different conclusions.

Bitcoin 21.10.2017: Bitcoin Hits $100 Billion as Record Rally Continues

Bitcoin’s epic rally intensified Friday, as the token reached $6,000 for the first time in its history, bringing the total market value above $100 billion. Bitcoin’s Fresh Intraday High BTC/USD touched an intraday high of $6,064.14, bringing its total market cap to $100.8 billion. That’s roughly $85 billion higher than where the market started in January. At press time, bitcoin was trading around $5,993, up more than 5% on the day. From a technical perspective, the digital currency is considered overbought. However, the technicals are typically less reliable during extreme price movements like we’ve seen in recent weeks. The world’s leading cryptocurrency has added a staggering 520% this year. Bitcoin’s rally didn’t really extend to other cryptocurrencies Friday. Ethereum continued to trade just north of $300, while Ripple (XRP) consolidated a hair below 21 U.S. cents. The cryptocurrency market’s combined market cap is roughly $173.4 billion, which is roug...

Long-Term Cryptocurrency Analysis 14.10.2017: Bitcoin Leads the Charge as Ethereum Breaks-Out

The most valuable digital currency shrugged off  all the bubble talk  and regulatory concerns of the recent period and surged to a new all-time high above $5000, as we expected. The coin almost doubled from the China lows, with a short-term top near the $5900 level but now it is short-term overbought and the long-term picture also looks stretched. That said, more gains are possible (with the final range-projection target at $7000) as the late-coming bulls pile in, but both investors and traders should reduce their holdings as the price advances as correction risk is rising progressively. Short-term support is near $5450 and the 23.6% Fibonacci extension, with further levels at $5000, $4650, and $4400. BTC/USD, Daily Chart Analysis Most of the other majors are also showing bullish signs, and the strength of Ethereum is especially encouraging, while Ripple is working its way through the correction that we have been expecting after its surge.
