Bitcoin / US Dollar

Price Analysis

The price topped today at $12,900, smashing the previous 2020 high level around $12,300. This means that everything from now on is something new that Bitcoin has not experienced since many years ago, around the end of 2017. Bitcoin holders since the start of September have a cumulative return of almost 30 % while investors from the start of 2020 have a cumulative return of around 300 %, a terrific number in terms of investing. This is something to take into account long-term expectations and vision in Bitcoin's future.

The bullish trend will continue but probably is not a way we see during the last days. The price has been overcharged and it breaks the current volatility measurements, making many investors think that this could be a good time to liquidate a part of their position in Bitcoin. If the trend continues to be alive, the first correction will be around the previous 2020 high level around $12,400 - $12,300. This level has a previous history in terms of market depth but remaining investors in the current levels from previous times are quite rare to find.

The moving averages are way apart from each other with no evident fear for the trend to turn over suddenly while the trading volumes were skyrocketed, indicating that investors are willing to invest more and more in this market, pushing it to its limits. We believe that the market trend will establish at a higher level than from the previous bullish trend but this will occur with larger volatility and higher expectations.

In the short-term diagram, we can observe that the days before a major or minor surge in the price, the volatility is shrinking and the entire interest of the market is concentrated around a single price which shows that the market is taking a step back before releasing new forces in the market. This kind of signal is quite common in the crypto market and we believe it is a safe route to follow on for the next periods.

Indicators

MACD index exploded at value = 165, showing that the market momentum is at high time and nothing could resist it in the rest of the market. On the other hand, the RSI index strongly recommends investors to "sell" as the asset seems to be overbought. If the price remains at the same level for more time, the index will change and it will be back at normal values.

Ethereum / US Dollar

Price Analysis

Ethereum joins the bullish market after a couple of days of uncertainty and not knowing the exact direction on how to move further. The most important thing is that the price broke the $390 and $400 level at once, kicking the start for the bullish period. The bulls land the price around $415, showing that there is fuel in the market to lead it at higher levels. If the price got established at higher levels, we believe that there are possibilities to surpass the previous high points for 2020.

We should remind everyone that the 2020 high was around $480, so a bullish week will be enough for Ethereum to reach it. After this point, there are little or weak support levels except from $440, where there is small support, so Ethereum's price will rise from the market dynamics, with no internal support.

The moving averages will not cross each other for some time in the future while the trading volumes rose in bullish levels, showing that investors have risen their interest in the cryptocurrency. We believe that the correction will become effective in the market as long as Bitcoin will start to correct also.

Indicators

MACD index starts to rise again, showing that the momentum is increased during the last days and investors want to get involved in the market and make more money. The RSI index has not moved yet in the "overbought" area so there is more room in the market for surging during the next days.

Ripple / US Dollar

Price Analysis

Ripple won its internal fight with stability and made a small miracle to happen. Ripple's price surge at $0.26, making the first step for entering the overall bullish market, which leads to higher price levels. As we describe in previous articles, the $0.26 was a crucial point for the Ripple market as it would be the benchmark for the price to start rise at the same levels and pace as the rest of the market.

The next step for Ripple will be to reach at least $0.28 as it will reach the previous bullish levels with increased market momentum. The moving averages, which crossed a couple of days ago, produced a fake signal, a reverse "Golden Cross" that distracted many investors from the current bullish momentum which was seen to come.

The trading volumes are not in great shape, showing that Ripple was the weak link in the crypto market and there is a need for more traction to establish in the winning crypto market. We expect a slower adaptation in the current trend which will be observed during the next days.

Indicators

MACD index turned again in the "green" area, showing that there is a possibility for Ripple to overcome the past days' momentum and focus on growing its market share. The RSI index just moved above value = 60, indicating that there is more room in the market for another surge in the meantime.

Litecoin / US Dollar

Price Analysis

Litecoin exceeds everyone's expectations in terms of adaptation in the current bullish trend, breaking the first point at $50 and landing around $55. Some months ago, we use to highlight that $57 was another important point in the Litecoin market as the previous bullish trend has started from there. If Litecoin manages to reach the previous bullish points in the current trend, we will include it in the winners of the period.

The support zones are not so evident at this point so there is a need to dig up in the past to find out more. The $57 is the start for it and more volatility will probably take over the market to get more investors to interact between them. The moving averages start to move apart, moving away from fears for a change in the trend. The trading volumes give a positive signal for entering the bullish market and make Litecoin rise in the previous levels.

Indicators

MACD index starts to grow again, indicating that the market momentum never passed in the negative area. The RSI index is just a step from activating a "sell" signal and there is a mark for making investors consider liquidations in the next period.

Bitcoin Cash / US Dollar

Price Analysis

Bitcoin Cash made another huge move in the current market, reaching $270 in just two days. Of course, the previous bullish levels laid around $300 but it is a start, to begin with, having a target towards $300. We believe that the support levels around $280 will help Bitcoin Cash to establish itself around this level, with small corrections.

The moving averages have been brought to wider areas, without any possibility to cross in the near future while the trading volumes are in good shape, with improvement to be needed on the way.

Indicators

MACD index starts to rise again, creating more positive momentum in the market and more attractive to investors. The RSI index is reaching the "dangerous" area but it will probably correct itself if there is stability over these levels.

Correlations

Bitcoin / Ethereum = 0.91 (+ 0.06), Bitcoin / Ripple = 0.38 (+ 0.14), Bitcoin / Litecoin = 0.85 (+ 0.20), Bitcoin / Bitcoin Cash = 0.84 (+ 0.01)

The general surge in the crypto market brought the correlations on the rising, giving the opportunity for the entire market to shine and bring back the good old days when everyone is winning. The next days will be crucial for the market as no one knows how fast the rest of the altcoins will stop growing or Bitcoin will make the first step towards a correction trend. Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash return on the "strong" correlation side showing that they have quicker reflexes than other coins while Ripple was upgraded in the "medium" correlation zone, showing that there is potential in the market for more integration. We should highlight that Litecoin was the only coin that has started to move towards the bullish zone and that was proved right today.

Key Notes For Today

  • Every cryptocurrency is winning at this moment

  • Bitcoin has the initiative in the moves

  • Ethereum, Ripple, and Bitcoin Cash made severe improvements on the bullish adaptation

  • Litecoin was the surprise of the day

Bitcoin hit a new 2020 high and altcoins rallied as PayPal announced that it will support crypto payments. The crypto markets are cheering PayPal’s decision to allow its customers to use cryptocurrencies to shop from its vast merchant network. PayPal also revealed that U.S. account holders will be able to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies in the PayPal app. The company plans to extend this service to a few other countries in the first half of 2021. PayPal’s decision has significantly increased the reach of cryptocurrencies. Now, many of the company’s 346 million active users will have the options to engage with cryptocurrencies and become investors if they choose. However, a mass influx of investors into cryptocurrencies is likely to take more time. Ultimately, this move by PayPal proves that companies cannot ignore the rise of digital assets anymore. Although the news is bullish, a vertical rally may not materialize immediately. After the initial buying frenzy dies down, the extent of any future correction will confirm whether a new roaring bull market has begun or if institutional investors used this news to lighten up their positions in order to buy at lower levels. Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies and spot the critical levels to watch out for. BTC/USD Bitcoin (BTC) soared above the resistance line of the ascending channel on Oct. 20. That was followed by a sharp up-move today when the bulls propelled the price above the stiff overhead resistance at $12,460. A new 52-week high is generally a bullish sign. The breakout of the ascending channel gives the BTC/USD pair a target objective of $12,975. If this level is crossed, the rally may extend to $14,000. The current up-move has pushed the relative strength index to 80. Previous instances show that the risk of a correction increases when the RSI rises above 80. The first sign of weakness will be a break and close (in UTC) below the previous resistance turned support at $12,000. Conversely, if the bulls can arrest the next correction at $12,000, it will signal strength and increase the possibility of a resumption of the up-move. ETH/USD Ether (ETH) has held above the 20-day exponential moving average ($370) for the past few days. The failure of the bears to break this support has attracted buying from the aggressive bulls who are trying to sustain the price above the overhead resistance at $395. If they succeed, it will complete an ascending triangle pattern that has a target objective of $478. The gradually upward-sloping 20-day EMA and the RSI above 61 suggest a marginal advantage to the bulls. However, the bears are unlikely to throw in the towel so easily. They will attempt to defend the overhead resistance at $395. If the ETH/USD pair turns down from the current levels and breaks below the uptrend line, it will signal weakness. XRP/USD XRP is currently range-bound between $0.26 and $0.2295. After failing to sustain above the moving averages for the past two days, the altcoin has made a decisive move higher today. If the bulls can sustain the momentum and push the price above $0.26, the XRP/USD pair will complete an inverse head and shoulders pattern. This setup has a target objective of $0.30. Contrary to this assumption, if the bulls fail to push the price above $0.26, the bears will again try to sink the price below the moving averages. If they succeed, the pair may extend its stay inside the range for a few more days. BCH/USD Bitcoin Cash (BCH) broke down and closed (in UTC) below the critical support at $242 on Oct. 20, but the bears could not capitalize on this weakness. The BCH/USD pair has surged today, which shows strong buying by the bulls and short covering by the aggressive bears who may have opened short positions hoping for a fall to $200. If the bulls can sustain the momentum and push the price above $266.46, the pair could rally to $280 and then to $300. The bounce in the RSI from 50 shows strength. This positive view will be invalidated if the bears sell the current rally and sink the pair below the $237.69. LTC/USD Litecoin (LTC) price soared today and has reached the critical $51–$52.36 overhead resistance zone. If the altcoin can close above this zone, it will complete an inverse head and shoulders pattern. This bullish reversal pattern has a target objective of $61. The moving averages have completed a bullish crossover and the RSI has risen above 63, which suggests an advantage to the bulls. However, the bears will pose a stiff challenge in the resistance zone. If the pullback from the current level is shallow, it will suggest that traders are not booking profits at the resistance and this will increase the possibility of the start of a new uptrend. On the contrary, if the price turns down from the current levels and the bulls fail to arrest the decline above $50, the LTC/USD pair may again drop down to the moving averages.

The Bitcoin price has now reached the previous high of 2020 and it has passed it , the current high of 2020 is now $12,900. The bullish trend will continue but be for it continue, there will be a correction in the market. In the last few days the volume market has increase and it has breaks the current volatility measurements, making many investors think that this could be a good time to liquidate a part of their position in Bitcoin. If the price should correct it self the first position will be the previous resistance which is the $12,400 - $12,300 level. At the moment Bitcoin price is still in a upward trend.

Meanwhile, the options market also faces expiration worth $750 million in about six days that could trigger volatility. During the weekend, particularly on a Sunday, the volatility of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market tends to increase. There are many potential factors that could cause volatile price movements to occur. Two main factors are lower the volume during the weekend and the anticipation of the Sunday weekly candle close. If the price of Bitcoin stays over $12,000 in the next 15 hours, it would mark the first weekly candle close above $12,000 since January 2018.

Bitcoin at $12,900 is not unprecedented because media hype and great forecast top investment experts have been attracting institutional adoption recently. Amazing 300% for long term holder in 2020 is a super result. No wonder Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin and BCH have been seeing increases in the boom of Bitcoin bull.
