Mizuho, one of Japan’s three so-called ‘megabanks’, will sponsor Neutrino, the country’s first blockchain coworking space established by Ethereum-based startup Omise Japan.

Named ‘Neutrino’, the country’s first specialized blockchain co-working space was established by Omise in Tokyo in March this year. Omise, a Thai-based startup, sees Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin among its advisors and closed a $25 million ICO in new financing last year to develop a decentralized payments platform Omise Go, powered by OMG, an ERC20 token cryptocurrency.

The collaborative space aims to advance research to ultimately deploy operational implementations of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in businesses and services.

‘Started by OmiseGO, Neutrino is building a thriving community by connecting entrepreneurs, businesses, regulators, and cryptocurrency thought leaders together through series of regularly organized events, workshops and meetups,’ reads a description on Neutrino’s website.

In an announcement on Friday, Japanese banking giant Mizuho revealed it will sponsor the coworking space in an arrangement that will also see the bank become a “long-term tenant” of the coworking space.

Mizuho sees blockchain as a decentralized technology that will have a transformative impact across industries, stating it will “simplify and optimize” various kinds of business operations. In outlining its own intentions to implement the technology to deliver better financial services to its clients, Mizuho believes Neutrino and the interactions within the coworking space “will bring us one step closer to developing commercial applications for blockchain technology.”

The bank stated:

In addition to sponsoring Neutrino, Mizuho will be a long–term tenant of the coworking space, and we look forward to finding applications for blockchain technology and being able to develop new business areas together with the wide variety of sponsors, members, and other specialists Neutrino plans to attract.

Mizuho has previously experimented and developed a number of blockchain applications in record keeping, cross-border securities transactions, trade finance with tech partner IBM and document sharing.

Notably, the megabank is an investor in bitFlyer, Japan’s largest and best-funded cryptocurrency exchange and has previously tested its own digital currency in a three-month trial with IBM Japan.

NEO bears are fading out which is encouraging for bulls who are now aiming at $45 after bouncing from the double bottoms and this week’s low. Other than NEO, NEM bears were obliterated after announcement of NEM-WeChat integration which would make it more accessible to chine.

XEMUSD Weekly Chart for December 9, 2017

After Poloniex dump, prices were cheap enough for whales to buy in at a discount. Anyhow, thanks to WeChat integration, NEM bulls are surging and aiming at the moon.

This is awesome news and as such NEM bulls are up 150% and market capitalization is past $4B making this cryptocurrency the cheapest in the top 10.

As we can see in the weekly chart, the first level of our Fibonacci extension at $0.59 has been hit and now, August’s highs of $0.36 is now our immediate support. NEM bulls should be looking for any dip as another buy opportunity.

DASH BULLS SURGE AND CLOSE ABOVE $670 SIGNALLING BULLS

alt coin DASH 4HR chart technical analysis
DASHUSD 4HR Chart for December 9, 2017

As per our trade recommendation, DASH bulls ended up leading the way and closing above our immediate resistance line at $670.

Even after a couple of testing support, price continued to make higher highs closing above the 20 period MA.

Therefore, at current prices and a stochastics buy signal in place, DASH is realigning itself and moving as per the weekly chart’s bullish trend.

In light of this, any break and close above this resistance line means we enter long. Better entry prices will definitely be found if there is a retest of support-previous resistance-after break out.

IOTA BULLS AIM AT $5.65

IOTUSD 4HR Chart for December 9, 2017

With any buy entry, the bulls get stronger and as it is, it is likely to surge past December 6 highs.

As we can see in the chart, after IOTA bulls picked up from our $3.2 support. To support this, price action has been strong and moving along the 20 period MA. There is also a stochastics buy signal in place.

We are certain that bulls are in charge just by looking at the diverging %k and %d of the stochastics which are almost parallel meaning many IOTA buyers are in the trade.

For now, short term traders should eye $5.65.

MONERO BULLS CLOSE IN ON $300

XMRUSD 4HR Chart for December 9, 2017

As the chart shows, Monero bulls are in charge. Because of price action alignment in the higher time frame this bull trend might continue past $300.

First off, after that rebound from the 20 period MA, prices are moving higher but with strong bull momentum.

Moreover, stochastic signals are almost parallel and in sync with the weekly trend which is also bullish.

For now, any retest and bullish confirmation of the 20 period MA will represent a buy opportunity. Bull short term target is December 6 highs at around $300.

Additionally, judging from price action NEO bulls are likely to expand in coming days. Price action is bouncing from our double bottoms towards $45 which is around the upper limit of the W-formation.
