Tron price turns bearish as trx/btc gets battered


It quickly becomes apparent not all of the cryptocurrency markets will see bullish momentum as the day progresses. As far as the Tron price is concerned, the current trend is incredibly bearish first and foremost. Big losses in USD and BTC value alike are making this market seem less appealing by the minute. Overcoming these setbacks is not impossible, though, but it will pose its own set of challenges.

Tron Price Gets a Beating

Although most people expected something entirely different, a lot of crypto markets are suddenly in bearish mode once again. After several days of promising momentum, things have now come to a head as market corrections begin kicking in pretty quickly. Tron is one of the top markets facing more pressure than others, but that is not entirely surprising either. While the trading volume is more than sufficient to overcome these deficits later today or in the coming days, it is highly doubtful things will improve in the near future.

To put the Tron momentum into perspective, there is a 5.8% loss in USD value and a 6.4% decrease in TRX/BTC. Because of this bearish pressure, the current Tron price sits at $0.026269, or 524 Satoshi. There is always a chance this market will drop to 500 Satoshi before a new uptrend emerges, albeit nothing is ever set in stone in this volatile industry. Anything can and possibly will happen at some point.

When it comes to the social media sentiment regarding Torn, there are always interesting discussions to keep an eye on. Mr. Dobalina is somewhat convinced over how this project is associated with BTT, which effectively “rewards” users to potentially share and upload pirated content. This could prove somewhat problematic for exchanges supporting Tron, although it seems unlikely any of them will undertake any sort of action to change this aspect.


Isamalia, on the other hand, is convinced Tron is absolute crap. Its value is so linked to bitcoin, it is not hard to see where the “but it’s a market follower’ sentiment comes from. That doesn’t mean Tron is bad by any means, as virtually all markets are linked to bitcoin in one way or another. Tron is certainly no exception in this regard, albeit it remains to be seen how things will progress over the coming days and weeks.

Last but not least, there will be an important update coming to TRONdice. The internal upgrade will result in renewing the game contract and making everything more transparent in the process. It is a change everyone will benefit from, and it seems TRONPoker will launch in the very near future as well. More dApps show the ecosystem is still growing, despite there still being room for more improvements.

While the Tron market doesn’t look too appealing right now, it would appear things will improve sooner or later. How that situation will evolve throughout today, is difficult to predict. There is a chance the current momentum is a prelude of what is yet to come, albeit nothing warrants a major price drop either. It all depends on what bitcoin decides to do, as that market doesn’t look too healthy either as of right now.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Value Triples In Less Than Two Days

After hovering around $300 for weeks after its initial fork, bitcoin Cash (BCH) skyrocketed to triple its value over the last two days.


On August 1, the bitcoin blockchain forked to little fanfare. Although the new bitcoin Cash (BCH) token quickly spiked to around $1000 in its opening hours, it soon after tumbled into a stagnant holding level around $300. In the meantime, Bitcoin surged past $4000 and posted all-time highs on a nearly daily basis. The question on everyone’s minds: Sell or hold their BCH?

Now it seems we have our answer. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, BCH surged past previous highs to over $1000 on Saturday morning. It has since stabilized at $800 and is trading at $788.14 as of press time.

Bitcoin Cash price chart

BCH’s trading volume also recently surpassed that of BTC. CoinMarketCap now shows BCH edging out BTC trading volumes by a margin of roughly 300 million. In the meantime, BTC price has been sliding down, although it has yet to dip below its $4000 benchmark.

Bitcoin Cash vs Bitcoin

The Canary in the bitcoin Mine

Thanks to bitcoin Cash’s new price, mining the BCH blockchain is now more profitable than mining legacy BTC. Additionally, block 479,808 on the BCH blockchain will likely adjust the difficulty for BCH mining downwards by 50% sometime this weekend.

Following this adjustment, bitcoin Cash miners will earn more than double mining BCH than they would legacy BTC. As miners switch to the new blockchain, the increased hashpower and lower transaction fees on the BCH blockchain will likely drive more investors to bitcoin Cash.

Although profitability on the BCH chain could potentially skyrocket over the weekend, other factors may encourage miners to remain on the BTC chain. For one, miners are paid and extra 1.5 BTC per block on the legacy bitcoin blockchain, leading to much higher rewards. Additionally, miners earn rewards on the BTC chain much faster than the BCH chain- bitcoin takes about 17 hours whereas bitcoin Cash takes about 34 hours.

As South Korea Goes, So Goes The Market

Increased demand from South Korea is also driving up prices. Trading jumped to ten times its previous volume prior to the surge, much of it in South Korean won. In fact, data from CoinMarketCap shows that roughly $2.1 billion of BCH’s $3.5 billion trade volume (around 60%) is coming from just three South Korean exchanges – Bithumb, Coinone, and Korbit.

BCH South Korean market

Analysts previously surmised that increased international tensions between the US and North Korea were the driving factor behind BTC’s rally last week. Caught in the middle of this fiery rhetoric is South Korea, a current hotspot for digital currency trading.

With cryptocurrencies slowly becoming a new (if unlikely) safe haven from government turmoil, there now seems to be a growing connection between crypto trading and regional turmoil.

This was previously demonstrated in Africa, particularly in Nigeria, where the nairi lost nearly 40% of its value overnight due to crashing oil prices. Google Trends showed increased interest in bitcoin immediately following the crash, indicating an interest from Nigerian citizens in moving their money to a safer reserve currency.

This is also now being fully demonstrated in Venezuela, which is currently undergoing a sheer economic apocalypse. Prices for consumer goods in the South American country have skyrocketed a whopping 741% from early 2016 to early 2017. Venezuelan online travel agency Destinia will now only accept Bitcoin for payment citing “increasing restrictions” and economic woes in the country.

Do you think a new “flippening” is in the making? Will BCH overtake BTC in the near future? Tell us your predictions in the comments below.
