Bitcoin price remains on shaky legs as $5,000 is unstable support


As the weekend is within traders’ grasp, the question becomes how all of the cryptocurrency markets will evolve exactly. In most cases, it is a futile effort to make any accurate predictions in this regard. Everything stands or falls based on the bitcoin price, which is still subjected to rather uncertain momentum right now. This doesn’t bode all that well for the world’s leading cryptocurrency.

bitcoin Price Doesn’t Appear Stable

While the altcoins are trying to recover some of their lost value as of right now, it is evident the effort will not be without its own hurdles. As long as bitcoin remains in the green, altcoins will usually benefit. However, the question is whether or not bitcoin will effectively remain in the green for long. Right now, that doesn’t necessarily appear to be the case.

When looking back at the most recent bitcoin price momentum, things are not looking all that great.  While the 0.35% gain is still in place, it may not be sufficient to warrant any sort of optimism right now. bitcoin’s overall trading volume is also on the decline right now, as just $14m worth of BTC has changed hands. All of these signs seem to confirm more bearish pressure is around the corner.

On social media, there is some concern regarding the launch of Float SV While this has nothing to do with bitcoin per se, this bitcoin SV exchange is made possible with the help of OKEx. This could lead to very volatile market swings all across the board, as the bitcoin SV team may be planning to mount another attempt at overtaking bitcoin in the long run.


Christopher DiSanto would like to remind the cryptocurrency users of how two important block halvings are coming up soon. While he mainly focuses on the Litecoin event, there is also a bitcoin halving in just over a year from today. Depending on how LTC’s halving affects the price, some similar momentum may materialize where bitcoin is concerned in 2020.

It doesn’t happen all that often a bitcoin meme makes the rounds on social media. Today is one of those rare exceptions, as Crypto Millionaire has identified the killer app for bitcoin. It is a very crude image, but one has to keep in mind there is some truth to this concept as well. At the least, it brings a chuckle to many faces, which is always a good thing.

When it comes to bitcoin, there is never any real indication as to where the value will head next. Any sort of momentum can materialize in quick succession. Right now, it sees the market leans toward the bearish side of the spectrum, albeit weekends can offer some surprising trends more often than not.

Fortune Goes All-Out For Bitcoin As Coinbase CEO Admits ‘Bubble’

Fortune has devoted the entire front page of its first 2018 edition to bitcoin, announcing it has “all the answers” about its behavior this year.


A bitcoin ‘Platypus’

In an extensive analysis of the potential upsides and downsides for investors over the next twelve months, the publication focuses on bubble fears and includes some surprises from cryptocurrency industry figures.

“Just like the platypus is not good at being a reptile, a beaver, a duck, or an otter, but it’s great at being a platypus,” Blockchain Capital’s Spencer Bogart told the publication in discussing bitcoin’s status.

bitcoin is not good at being a currency, a commodity, or a fintech company, but it’s great at being bitcoin. It’s creating its own category and asset class.

Mainstream media outlets have turned broadly negative on the largest cryptocurrency over the past weeks as prices cool off from highs of $20,000. That cryptocurrency, in general, is in a bubble has become a go-to theme for many publications, while some have conversely taken to championing specific coins at the expense of bitcoin, notably CNBC and Russia Today with bitcoin Cash.

Armstrong Warms To Bubble Theory

Brian Armstrong, CEO of embattled US wallet and exchange Coinbase, meanwhile “confided,” as Fortune describes it, that the bubble narrative is a “probable” explanation after all.

Speaking about the overall total cryptocurrency market cap, Armstrong declared:

We probably are in a bubble. […] We haven’t really earned the value of that half trillion.

Deserving or not, that market cap is expected to continue trending upwards, with bullish investor Mike Novogratz forecasting a one-of-a-kind “global” bubble unlike any other:

The fact that this is our first global mania… will make this the single most speculative bubble of our lifetimes.

Should that perspective hold true, cryptoassets’ utility will likely prove crucial in allowing them to retain value and prevent spectacular investor losses.

That topic is especially pertinent to Ripple in the first week of 2018, as unprecedented price highs are countered with criticism that the platform’s XRP token is less than reliable due to client businesses not needing to actually use it.
