Check out what's up with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and other Altcoins today.
Bitcoin News
An analyst believes that Bitcoin may soar past $20.000, according to signals from the Elliott Waves. This follows a solid consolidation phase from last week. However, other opinions have that the $20,000 price may indicate a start of a significant drop, stating that Bitcoin has experienced a regular move from one price direction to its opposite before now.
BTC’s value had held back in growing limits between $18,500 and $19,500, retaining both dividing lines while the market stays inconclusive.
Ethereum News
On Friday, Dune, an Ethereum metrics platform, revealed that DEFI’s landscape recently records more than one million new ETH addresses of users. The increase is over 100% from the previous ninety-one thousand addresses counted on December 6, 2019.
Though the rise is applaudable, some specialists warn that it doesn’t imply an extensive adoption. As a matter of fact,
most of the apparent vertical’s supporters may have to reconsider their interactions and means of providing services for DEFI to disrupt the norm.
Ripple News
Novatti, a payment platform in Australia, recently made known its partnership with Ripple, a blockchain company in San-Francisco.
Following the alliance, Novatti customers can now leverage RippleNet, a worldwide financial system, active in about 55 places and 120 currency pairs.
Peter Cook, MD at Novatti, notes that he’s pleased about the Ripple collabo as it will improve their competitive edge and enable its users to free up capital:
“In particular, we look forward to working with Ripple to provide our customers with access to their exciting alternative financing solutions so that our customers can free-up capital to focus on growing their businesses.”
Other Potential Cryptos to Watch in This Week
Here are altcoins to watch for this week.
Monero

XRM price has retained its overhead resistance at close to $135.50 in the last four days. Monero is currently bullish, with an inverse head and shoulders trend, likely to continue between the $135 and $167 price goal.
VeChain

VET is nearer to testing the price above its current $0.01755 resistance. The rounding bottom is achievable if VeChain breaks through the resistance.
AAVE

AAVE is observing an uptrend since the altcoin maintained a higher high and higher low pattern and a higher low pattern. The increasing twenty-day 20-day Exponential Moving Average of $74 and the Relative Risk Index in their promising states indicate that it’s more likely to take a bullish effect. If they move against the price, over $94.875, AAVE may consolidate to $124.075.
