Technical analysis and price predictions for the most relevant cryptocurrencies
BTC/USD started off Thursday, 4th February, at 37,658.5. The pair rose above 38,000 in the first two hours and took a bit of a downside retracement to 37,537 between 02:00 and 04:00 UTC.
The end of January 2021 was marked by the amazing uprise of retail investors who organized themselves on the r/WallStreetBets (WSB) subreddit. Their goal was not to make as much profit as they could, but to stick it up against major players on the financial markets, such as big hedge fund managers.
BTC/USD began the trading session of 27th January, Wednesday, at 32,501 as per the exchange rate on CEX.IO. From the day’s start the pair began slipping down with a determination to break down below the 2.618 Fibonacci retracement level positioned at 31,000. The pair was trending down in a steadily going downside move with two flag formations clearly visible on the 15-minute timeframe between 06:00 and 08:00 UTC and between 09:00 and 11:00 UTC.
As we enter Week 4 of year 2021 you are probably asking yourself what to expect of this week. In times where Bitcoin is still slowly recovering from its sub-$30,000 plunge and Ether seems to have topped out at around $1,400 there are seemingly not so many investment opportunities. However, in reality, you do not have to scroll too far down the list of top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization to find some projects that are set to benefit from the increased attention and updates deployed this week.
BTC/USD opened at 36,799, according to the exchange rate at CEX.IO, and was trading in a downward fashion from 02:00 to 06:00 UTC. The pair bounced to 37,280 between 06:00 and 08:00 UTC and was mainly trending sideways until 16:00 UTC. Between 16:00 and 17:00 UTC, BTC/USD attempted an upswing from 37,351 to 38,000 but was stopped midways and driven close to the open of the hourly candlestick at its close.
Judging by the first two weeks we cannot say that the cryptocurrency market has cooled off yet. Yes, Bitcoin does seem to have entered a period of mostly sideways trading with relatively high volatility, but other projects are pulling the space forward now. Just recently, Ethereum stepped into the limelight of the community’s attention by setting its new ATH price. But besides Ethereum, which is definitely worth keeping an eye on, there are many other cryptocurrency projects, that are looking to benefit from significant updates and the increased attention that comes with these upgrades. This week’s selection features three such projects.
BTC/USD began the trading on 12th January at 35,468, according to the exchange rate at CEX.IO. In the first two hours, the pair edged down to 34,000. Then, starting from 03:00 UTC BTC/USD began an ascendency, which at 08:00 UTC took the pair to the 50-period simple moving average at around 35,600. The attainment of the moving average was a signal for a renewal of bearish price action, which was quickly confirmed: moving down consistently, the pair reached 32.501 in between 14:00 and 15:00 UTC.
As usual, several projects are deploying important mainnet upgrades and launching new features this week. Our this week’s selection consists of three coins that we think will benefit from the increased attention. Will this be enough to end what it appears to be a significantly bearish week in the green?
It has been a few days since we entered 2021 and the cryptocurrency market continues its rally. The very first selection of top coins to watch this year is again topped by the most popular and most established cryptocurrency, but while often staying in the shadow of Bitcoin and Ethereum, other projects are also making significant progress by deploying new features.
