October 25, 2019 Bitcoin Witnessing Oversold Bounce BTC: Price: $7,650 | MCAP: $138 Billion | 24-Hr Volume: $17.18 Billion Short-term trend: Bearish Bitcoin is witnessing a corrective bounce, as discussed on Thursday. The immediate bearish view, however, would be invalidated if prices print a UTC close above the former support-turned-resistance of $7,714 (Sept. 30 low).  A rejection at that level would bolster the bearish setup and could yield a deeper drop to $7,200 and $7,000. The odds of another big sell-off, however, appear low, as bitcoin has charted a death cross – a bearish crossover of the 50- and 200-day averages. The lagging indicator trapped sellers on the wrong side of the market in 2014, 2015 and 2018. Note that the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to deliver 2019's third 25 basis point rate cut next week. The narrative that BTC is a hedge against monetary easing may bode well for the cryptocurrency over the next few days.  That said, the outlook would turn bullish if and when prices rise above the Oct. 21 high of $8,314, invalidating the lower highs setup.  Long-term trend: Bullish Bitcoin's long-term outlook is bullish, as mining reward halving is due in May 2020. The bullish case looks stronger if we take into account the strengthening narrative that the top cryptocurrency is a digital gold and a hedge against inflation.  Many observers believe the negatives interest rate era could force traditional investor to pour money into cryptocurrencies. After all, BTC is the best performing asset of 2019 and possibly of the decade.  Long-term technical studies are also biased bullish. For instance, the 100- and 200-period averages have produced a bullish crossover on the three-day chart. A similar bull cross in March 2016 was followed by a 21 month bull market. The bullish case would weaken if prices drop below $6,649, as the majority of bitcoin addresses will become Out of the Money (loss making positions) below that level, according to IntoTheBlock. Essentially, long-term holders may liquidate their positions below $6,649, leading to a sharp slide in prices.  Read Analysis Testing The Line BSV: Price: $110 | MCAP: $1.9 billion | 24-Hr Volume: $589.7 million Short-term trend: Neutral BSV has risen slightly on the day, up 12.5 percent after yesterday's (Oct. 24) breakout brought prices closer to a prior support zone now flipped to resistance at around $116. The daily RSI is fast approaching overbought conditions once again coupled with weaker than average buying momentum seen via the Chaikin Money Flow indicator slightly above 0. Price action in the short-term would swing to the bulls should a firm close above $116 occur. Long-term trend: Bearish Long-term price action and trend remains bearish below the prior resistance zone at $110-116 and requires another push to break the downward market structure of lower highs that has been on-going since June 22. Newton's Gravity NEW: Price: $0.0037 | MCAP: $43.8 million | 24-Hr Volume: $4.7 million Short-term trend: Neutral What started out as a higher high breakout above $0.0038 has ended in the red for the little known crypto of "community economy," as it droped 7.18 percent on the day. Oct. 22 marked the day of rejection after less than average volume presented by the bulls did little to shift price and as per volume analysis a rising price on falling or low volume is typically a bearish sign. Greater indication in its direction is needed as it currently hovers just below prior resistances at $0.0037. Long-term trend: Neutral NEW has begun its journey of reversing this years losses but still has a long way to go in order to restore investor/trader confidence. Only a firm close above $0.0041 would be enough to stimulate a reversal needed to attract greater investment. Both the daily RSI and CMF are in favor of pushing prices higher, so long as they both remain above their respective neutral 0 lines and fail to produce a sell signal. Litecoin (LTC) is currently trading at $50 on Coinbase, representing a 65 percent loss on the high of $146 registered on June 22.  Due to the sharp sell-off, more than 76 percent of the addresses in LTC are in loss or Out of the Money, as pointed out by @intotheblock. To put it another way, the average cost at which the coins were acquired is higher than the current price.  Should the recovery remain elusive, the HODLers may throw in the towel and square off their holdings, leading to a deeper slide in prices (known as capitulation).  That said, the fact that majority of addresses are in loss and still holding on indicates the investors are expecting the recent pullback to end with a big move higher.  Note that over 18 million LTCs have been acquired at a price between $24 to $52. These address are still In the Money.  Disclaimer: The information presented in this message is intended as a news item that provides a brief summary of various events and developments that affect, or that might in the future affect, the value of one or more of the cryptocurrencies described above.
