Ethereum Classic Price Decline

There was no upside move above $21.00 during the past few days in ETC price against the US dollar. The price started a downside move and traded below the $20.00 handle. The downside move was strong as the price even failed to hold the $18.00 support level. It is now trading well below the $18.00 pivot level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

The recent low was formed at $15.66 and it seems like sellers are here to stay. If there is a correction, the price may face sellers near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $21.73 high to $15.66 low. There is also a key connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $18.00 on the hourly chart of the ETC/USD pair. The same trend line is near the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $21.73 high to $15.66 low. Therefore, the $17.00 and $18.00 levels are seen as crucial barriers for buyers in the near term.

On the downside, the price could break the recent low of $15.66 and test $15.00. The overall bias is bearish on BTC, ETH, XRP and all major cryptocurrencies.

Study Says by 2030 1/4th of Miles Driven will be Driverless

mishtalk.com / Mike “Mish” Shedlock / April 15, 2017 2:12:46

A convergence of three trends – Ride Sharing, Autonomous Driving, and Vehicle Electrification—will offer big-city dwellers cheap, convenient transportation, transforming the automotive industry, says a report by the Boston Consulting group.

The report concludes By 2030, 25% of Miles Driven in US Could Be in Shared Self-Driving Electric Cars.

BCG’s key insight is that the convergence of three trends—ride sharing (services such as Uber and Lyft), autonomous driving, and vehicle electrification—create a far more compelling economic case than any of these forces alone. Due to their ability to cut travel costs by 60%, shared autonomous electric vehicles (SAEVs) could shift about 25% of miles traveled from private automobiles-—creating enormous benefits for consumers as well as causing major disruption to the automotive industry. While total vehicle demand will only be affected slightly, by 2030 more than 5 million conventional cars per year could be replaced by a combination of fully autonomous electric vehicles for urban fleets and partially autonomous cars for personal use. Cities will benefit from less congestion and cleaner air, but could be disadvantaged by falling ridership on public transit, fear of which could result in some cities proactively trying to regulate the number of SAEVs on the road.
