Crackdowns Could Swing Balance in Metal’s Favor

Veteran ‘gold bug’ Gerald Celente has said Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies “have a long future” despite “not owning any of it.” Speaking to US TV network Kitco News Tuesday, trends analyst Celente criticized comments made by JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon about Bitcoin being a “fraud.” He also agreed Bitcoin was “stealing gold’s thunder” thanks mainly to ease of access for investors from nations such as China and India. Long-term, however, regulatory risks meant that gold would remain a go-to fiat escape. “While Read more …

Bitcoin Price Watch; $4,000 In Play Once Again

Things are really starting to move now in the bit coin price. Yesterday evening we noted that we were going to keep an eye on the 4000 level as a major upside driver if and when it was reached (and subsequently broken) primarily because it serves as a key psychological level of resistance. Overnight, we didn’t see the level broken, but price did trend towards the level in question and it’s now looking considerably likely that we will get a Read more …

NewsBTC DASH and Litecoin Analysis September 27th 2017

Hello and welcome to News BTC’s Market Outlook September 27. DASH/USD DASH dropped a bit during the session on Tuesday, but found support near the $340 level. This is an area that should continue to offer support, and I believe that if we stay above there, the market will probably go looking towards the $355 level above. A clearance of that level then frees this market to go looking towards the $370 level next. I have no interest in shorting this Read more …

ETH/USD and ETH/BTC Technical Analysis September 27th 2017

Hello and welcome to News BTC’s Market Outlook September 27. ETH/USD Ethereum initially dipped on Tuesday, but found enough support near the $288 level to turn around and show signs of support.

Hello and welcome to News BTC’s Market Outlook September 27.

Under those circumstances, it’s very likely that the buyers will come in and continue to push Bitcoin to the upside. Alternately, a pullback from here should find plenty Read more …
