bitcoin Needs $6,000 For Extended Rally

DonAlt, a notable crypto analyst and industry personality, recently took to Twitter to issue his thoughts on the current state of the Bitcoin (BTC) market.

He noted that as it stands, many optimistic investors are under the impression that if BTC convincingly breaks above $4,400 — the peak of the cryptocurrency’s micro-rally following December 14th’s $3,150 low — further highs would have a high likelihood of coming to fruition. However, DonAlt claims that this sentiment isn’t sensical, remarking that a “higher low in combination with a higher high” doesn’t conclusively indicate that the bear market has breathed its final breaths.

To back his somewhat harrowing point, DonAlt drew attention to Bitcoin’s price action at the peak (or bottom) of 2014/2015’s bear market. As depicted in the tweet above, BTC posted a higher low and higher high after falling to $165, but fell to yearly lows in rapid succession to liquidate long positions en-masse.

Responding to queries regarding his analysis, DonAlt remarked that while he’s not arguing that the cryptocurrency market looks week, he doesn’t expect any drastic upside pressure until Bitcoin surmounts $6,000.

DonAlt isn’t the only industry commentator expecting for this market to remain inconclusive whether its “bull” or “bear” until the $6,000 price point. Alex Kruger, a markets researcher & trader based out of New York, recently released an extensive thread on the state of cryptocurrency today, touching on key levels. He noted that for Bitcoin to return to a bullish state, BTC will need to rally through $6,000 with a notable amount of public interest — something that currently isn’t present.

What About $5,000?

While the aforementioned analysts are making a case that $6,000 is a key level to watch in the near-term, some have argued that the $5,000 price range is just as important for the medium-term prospects of Bitcoin. Per previous reports from Ethereum World News, Mati Greenspan of eToro remarked that if BTC clearly breaks above $5,000, with volume and community sentiment to back such a move, that would confirm that a reversal had occurred and the bear market could be coming to an end.

Former insurance agent turned full-time markets trader, Financial Survivalism, also recently claimed that he is currently keeping an eye on the $4,600 to $4,800 range for Bitcoin, as that’s where the essential 200-day exponential moving average and long-term bear trendline have found a home.

Leading crypto analysis unit Bitcoin Bravado echoed Survivalism’s astute points. The team took to Twitter to remark that as there is a “lot of confluence” near the aforementioned technical level, there is likely to be major resistance around that level, currently situated right around $4,800. Bravado added that $5,000 will be a psychological level of resistance, especially due to the sum’s round nature.

Bitcoin Price Falls $1200 As Bitcoin Cash Steals Fork Limelight

The bitcoin price dropped over $700 Friday as investors show new enthusiasm for rival altcoin bitcoin Cash (BCH).


bitcoin Classic: bitcoin Cash ‘Will Be bitcoin In 6 Months’

In the days since the cancellation of the SegWit2x hard fork, the original bitcoin chain (BTC) price fell to around $6500 from its all-time highs around $7800.

As investors realized they would not be able to profit from ‘free’ SegWit2x balances, attention turned to BCH as developers announced a hard fork of their own.

This bitcoin Cash fork could potentially spark a second chain of the altcoin, giving investors equivalent balances.

Expectations increased over the past 24 hours as bitcoin Classic announced it was shutting down while officially endorsing BCH to become ‘bitcoin’ within just six months.

In a farewell post earlier this week, Classic’s release manager Tom Zander wrote:

It is now up to the next billion people to start to use bitcoin Cash. In at most 6 months, I’m sure we’ll just drop the ‘Cash’ and call it ‘bitcoin’.

Investors Seize The Day To Short Next ‘bitcoin’ Chain

Zander is just one of the well-known bitcoin industry figures coming out in support of BCH both before and after SegWit2x’s ‘death.’

Aside from major proponents Roger Ver and Jihan Wu, SegWit2x supporters are giving the limelight to BCH, focusing consumer attention in the process.

“We shall see,” BitPay co-founder Tony Gallippi wrote in response to a pro-2x tweet by BTCC CEO Bobby Lee.

As a result of the publicity and support pre-fork, BCH’s fortunes have dramatically turned around this week. Prices are at an all-time high nearing $1000 according to data from Coinmarketcap.

If any increase in purchases appears, this may likely be due to Ver’s bitcoin.com now guiding users to purchase only BCH rather than BTC, the entrepreneur himself announced this week.

With an influx of investment, only steadfast BTC proponents cast an alternative light on the market. bitcoin.org and Bitcointalk co-founder Cobra warned Twitter users BCH was “centrally controlled” and “doesn’t have a good future” regardless of its current support.
