Ethereum continues to be volatile and choppy and a reasonably tight range between $350 level on the bottom, and $370 on the top. I think this is a simple accumulation phase, and the short-term pullbacks offer value the people will be willing to take advantage of. Because of this, I believe that waiting for a short dip in this market is probably the best way to accumulate more before we go looking towards the $400 level.

ETH/BTC

ethbtc

Currently, this market is going nowhere. There isn’t much to say about it other than it’s probably best left alone, at least until we get some type of significant move. Both currencies are going reasonably well, and consolidating at high levels against the US dollar. Because of this, it doesn’t look like this market will move very much.

Thanks for watching, I’ll be back tomorrow.

A vast majority of the companies who are entering ICO are not  offering any already established product. You are being told that if you give your money to the company it would, probably, produce something. Those companies are laying account with inexperienced investors, interested in bright ideas. The NAGA Group took another path: it first issued a product, then went public, and only after that came up with the idea of issuing their own tokens.

Disclosure: This is a Sponsored Article

To understand the NAGA’s path better, one has to realize, what it offers. In fact, the company creates additional tools for the financial market of the real sector. It started with a platform for traders – a social network – that provides opportunities for investing in the financial markets. By creating  a user-friendly product, the company was able to attract money from investment funds to get initial capital and quickly make a net profit that reach into millions of euros.

Naga has just laucnhed Pre-Sale and it is going really great so far. More than 5mln USD gathered for the first 15 hours. Join now to get a bonus of 30%.

Naga went public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange by conducting an IPO – the initial public offering of shares on the exchange to attract resources and grant the company’s trustworthiness. In order to carry out an IPO,  a company has to carry out many highly stringent check by regulators, including providing data on profits, working capital, etc. Besides, this model opens the doors to opportunities in the realm of attracting large investment funds. The large Chinese investment group FOSUN and one of the oldest European banks Hauck & Aufhaeuser have already invested in the company. Nevertheless, Naga stock  is available  for smaller investors too. You just have to find a broker and enter the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.    

There are also additional advantages that reduce the risks normally associated with ICOs when looking at NAGA.. Because of the public listing, NAGA operates under strict German legislation, which, given the stability of the country’s economic system, hardly makes it possible that the company’s work will be banned, as happened with ICOs in China. The company has all the necessary licenses for doing business, which guarantees that it is not a shadow company, the only purpose of which is collecting money.

The recognition of this model by the states can become a solution to the problem of distrust that has been experienced by other companies who have wanted to release of token sales. In fact, NAGA, as a pioneer shows others how the work can be done by reducing risks to investors. At the same time, the company is neither constantly threatened by prohibitions nor pressed by the chaotic regulations. The clear rules of the game are the most important thing in business.

If other actors on the market will come to the realization that this model works, a lot of large companies that are issuing tokens would be in the exchange listings first. This will attract large investment funds, which are not normally working with the fintech startups like this yet.  

In other words, in case of big capital involvement, the potential for growth of both NAGA and the entire market is just enormous.

Why, then, does Naga need token issuing? For swift growth the company needs additional resources that can be spent on marketing, business development and development of the additional platforms. Those platforms will be amalgamated into a single solid ecosystem. One of the most important platforms is Switex, which will enable the trading of virtual goods and in-game items for gamers. For instance, you have some stuff in Dota, or any other game, which allows you to receive items. With Switex you can exchange them for bitcoins, gold or even Apple shares, if you’d like. The whole exchange would be conducted through the NAGA Wallet – the tool that connects the ecosystem and allows you to use all the platforms and services provided by the company. Both Switex and Naga Wallet would be launched during the first six month of 2018. They would work without any regional limitations. Actually, the main goal of the startup is to make the sharing process global and accessible to everyone, whether you are from the US or Australia. This will be achieved through the unification of the internal economic system.     

The blockchain based platform itself grants transparency and the safety of all its transactions. It’s especially important in the in-game items trading, since, due to the complete absence of regulations, fraud is very common.

Naga has a very lofty agenda. It aims to to negotiate with as many game publishers as possible, to work with user experience, peer2peer features and provide further development of its own financial ecosystem, which is supported by real value, not just by promises, as it usually happens.

Hello and welcome to News BTC’s Market Outlook November.

DASH/USD

dashusd

DASH continues to power ahead, touching $575 during the trading session on Wednesday. I suspect that we will probably get a pullback though, and at this point you need to see that happen to get enough value out of a trade. The stochastic oscillator is crossing in the overbought level, and the next major area of order flow is very likely to be $500. A pull back to that area would be very enticing.

LTC/USD

ltcusd

Litecoin has been a bit stagnant over the last 24 to 48 hours, as we struggle with the $72 level above. I think that we will continue to find support a $68 however, so this offers opportunities to pick up Litecoin and cheaper levels going forward. It’s not until we break down below $60 that I become concerned with the uptrend, and I recognize that most of the crypto currency space right now is accumulating, not powering forward.

Thanks for watching, I’ll be back tomorrow.

Key Highlights Ripple price remains in major uptrend above the $0.2350 support against the US Dollar. Yesterday’s highlighted ascending channel with current support near $0.2350 is intact on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

The post Ripple Price Technical Analysis – XRP/USD Eyes Further Gains appeared first on NEWSBTC.

Key Highlights

  • Ripple price remains in major uptrend above the $0.2350 support against the US Dollar.
  • Yesterday’s highlighted ascending channel with current support near $0.2350 is intact on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair will most likely move further higher towards the 0.2550 and 0.2600 levels.

Ripple price is placed well in the bullish zone against the US Dollar and Bitcoin. XRP/USD might soon retest $0.2600 and it could even break it.

Ripple Price Trend

There were slow and steady gains in Ripple price above $0.2300 against the US Dollar. The price after declining towards $0.2000 found support and since then moved higher. It moved above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.2680 high to 0.2048 low. The best part is the fact that the price is now placed well above the $0.2300 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

More importantly, yesterday’s highlighted ascending channel with current support near $0.2350 is intact on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair is likely to continue moving higher and it might soon test the channel resistance near $0.2550. The stated $0.2550 level also represents the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.2680 high to 0.2048 low. Above $0.2550, the pair would easily break the $0.2600 level for more gains in the near term. There are even chances of XRP retesting the last swing high of $0.2650.

Ripple Price Technical Analysis XRP USD

On the downside, the channel support at $0.2350 is very important. The stated $0.2350 support also coincides with the 100 hourly simple moving average. Therefore, $0.2350 and $0.2300 can be considered as a good buy zone as long as the pair is above the 100 hourly SMA.

Looking at the technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is moving nicely in the bearish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is above the 50 level and is showing positive signs.

Major Support Level – $0.2350

Major Resistance Level – $0.2550

btcusd

Bitcoin fell slightly against the US dollar after initially trying to rally on Wednesday in what could probably be best described as listless trading. The $8000 level below should be psychologically supportive though, so I expect that this is going to continue to be a “buy on the dips” market, as we are accumulating more momentum for the next move higher.

BTC/JPY

btcjpy

Bitcoin continues to grind higher against the Japanese yen, although we did stall a bit during the trading session on Wednesday. It looks as if we are trying to form an ascending triangle, so I suspect that the buyers are going to come back in relatively soon. Either way, I think it’s almost a foregone conclusion that BTC rises to ¥1 million at this point.

Thanks for watching, I’ll see you again tomorrow.

As perfect BTC alternatives, DASH and Monero are rallying perhaps benefiting from capital injection.

Alt coin Monero is actually trending above August highs of $153. If bulls push harder, buyers looks likely to jump in.

In the meantime, IOTA is peaking and USD bulls are driving prices lower with first targets at $0.732.

Let’s look at the charts:

TODAY FOCUS: DASH AND MONERO RALLY

 

ALT COIN DASH BULLISH BUT STRONG RESISTANCE EXPECTED AT $582

alt coin DASH and Monero 4HR chart
DASHUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

One thing is clear, DASH bulls are in charge. As a result, it is safe to say that every dip is a buy opportunity.

Because of that, we shall shift our support lines to November 12 and 18 highs of $540 and $486 respectively. At the moment though, bullish momentum is strong because of that band divergence and of course the bullish stochastic signal.

We already have a bearish candlestick dropping from yesterday’s highs of $582. If there is a follow through, then we wait for a retest of $540 support line.

However, if not, $670 is the next bull target especially if November 22 highs is cleared.

MONERO BULLS DRIVE PRICES ABOVE AUGUST HIGHS OF $153

alt coin DASH and Monero 4HR chart
XMRUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

Bull momentum is strong and as it now, August highs of $153 has been cleared. Because of the general bullish momentum in the weekly chart, traders were taking long positions only. Bull projection will be null after Monero prices trickle down strongly from recent highs and below $153.

Currently, that has not been then case and if Monero bulls prevents depreciation below $153, then that should be bullish going forward.

However, any dip towards the 20 period MA or the support trend line with complementing stochastic buys present a wonderful opportunity to go long.

How other alt coins are performing

ALT COIN IOTA PEAKING, USD BULLS TARGETING $0.732

alt coin IOTA 4HR chart
IOTUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

IOTA appreciation has been spectacular and profitable. Investors are up 300% from their initial investment of $0.25 but now, prices are cooling down.

We had that bearish divergence which hinted of a possible slow down on November 20 that’s when price action close above $0.90 resistance line and tested $0.98.

From there on, IOTA is crumbling as we can see. USD bulls are now below the 20 period MA with a stochastic sell signal.

After close of this candlestick and if prices remain below the 20 period MA, sellers should ramp up their position while aiming at November 21 lows of $0.732.

$34 SUPPORT REBUFF USD BULLS

alt coin NEO 4HR chart
NEOUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

For NEO bears to proceed, they must close below $34 support. It didn’t happen yesterday and in fact prices bounced back with a stochastic buy signal.

Traders should be trading this as a bullish break out after that strong candlestick on November 17 and a retest of resistance now support trend line of November 22.

In light of this, NEO bulls should initiate long positions with stop losses below $34 and aim for immediate resistance at $45.

$0.22 REMAINS A RELEVANT RESISTANCE LINE FOR NEM BULLS

alt coin NEM 4HR chart
NEMUSD 4HR Chart for November 23, 2017

Even if the general trend in the weekly chart is bullish, it has not been the same in the 4HR chart thus far.

From the charts, NEM prices is oscillating within a $0.04 range since early October safe for that dip and a bull break out in the first two weeks of November.

For now, we wait until a stochastic buy signal is shows probably at main support zone at around $0.18.

Because of that break below the 20 period MA, USD bulls should sell with a stop loss just above $0.209.

FLUX Gaming – Game Developers and Players Now Own the Game

All game developers want to produce a blockbuster. But as the gaming world knows all too well, the business of creating blockbusters is risky. Players may move in a flash to another game for more challenge and higher rewards. Subsequent releases and new game titles may not attract the fans of the first successful title. … Continue reading FLUX Gaming – Game Developers and Players Now Own the Game

All game developers want to produce a blockbuster. But as the gaming world knows all too well, the business of creating blockbusters is risky. Players may move in a flash to another game for more challenge and higher rewards. Subsequent releases and new game titles may not attract the fans of the first successful title. Yet owing to the time and effort involved in developing and marketing a game, it takes a game creator a long time to build a portfolio of diversified revenue streams.

Game developers now have an alternative. The FLUX platform provides developers a platform to market games while taking a stake in the entire portfolio of games by investing in the platform. The revenue sharing platform is part of a new generation of mobile game hosts that are reinventing the gaming model on the Blockchain. The decentralized and transparent digital ledger acts as the direct matchmaker between game creators and players, eliminating the high transaction fees of traditional gaming platforms. And since players, traders and streamers can also become investors in the FLUX global gaming ecosystem, and the whole community is incentivized to promote the gaming platform.

Turning game creators into online game owners

The Blockchain gaming model is disrupting the game developer space. Developers are a captive audience to online gaming platforms, which take a large slice of their revenues. The most popular PC gaming platform Steam charges a 30 percent commission. Despite the high fees, the number of games joining Steam increased by 40 percent in 2016. As overall PC game growth declines and the mobile games market grows, the FLUX model is seeking to share that growth with developers and the rest of its ecosystem.

Game developers become investors in the FLUX platform by buying tokens, and therefore can benefit from any increase in future value of the tokens. Developers may also raise funds by launching their own ICO on the FLUX crowdfunding platform. In a unique funding model, developers do not have to wait for a crowdfunding period to be completed to withdraw FLUX coins. Instead, coins may be withdrawn at the completion of predefined stages, such as the game creation or first pilot game.  

Incentivizing gameplay and promotion

The FLUX platform serves as a matchmaker for developers and gamers. All transactions take place directly between parties over a transparent smart contract. When revenue-generating actions are completed (a game is uploaded, game/tournament is won, reward bestowed, game item sold), funds can be immediately released. Deposits are accepted in cryptocurrency and standard payment methods, while game transactions and withdrawals are performed in FLUX tokens.

By simplifying transaction management, smart contacts help lower transaction fees. The decentralized FLUX market does not take commissions when competitive games are uploaded in matchmaking sessions or for in-game purchases made over mobile devices. A two percent commission is charged on non-competitive game transactions. Additionally, a one to seven percent commission is charged for each bet placed by a player.

Every person who invests more than $500,000 receives a personal escrow plan called the Special Investments Control System. The FLUX team receives only 15 percent of the allotted budget and will then take partial payments from said budget during the development process. If the investors’ expectations are not met, they can withdraw the funds anytime.

By allowing all participants on the game platform to invest in FLUX tokens, and reap more rewards and revenue, the entire community is incentivized to work harder to promote the game platform and its games. A powerful affiliate marketing feature is the ability to invite other players through the FLUX referral system onto the platform and receive a commission on their gaming sessions. Streamers are also working to promote your games. They can earn FLUX tokens based on the number of views by broadcasting and reposting games on the FLUX Streaming platform, among other incentives.  Anyone can earn FLUX tokens by creating and voting on new skins.

The FLUX ICO (FLUX)

Developers and gamers can become investors in the FLUX global gaming ecosystem by buying FLUX tokens in the initial coin offering.  Coins will be available at a discount in the pre-ICO period starting on Dec. 1 ahead of the official offering on Dec. 10.

Boosteroid project starts its ICO on November 27th aiming to collect investments for the creation of a cloud services platform (similar to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud). This information can be found on project blog.

Token sale details

Token sale starts on November 27th at 9:00 (CET) and ends on December 11th at 21:00 (CET). Team plans to sell 300 million BTR tokens. One BTR will cost $1,08. It will be possible to buy BTR on Boosteroid website for ETH, BTC, LTC, BCH. All unsold tokens will be destroyed.

Bonuses for investors:

1 000 BTR – 100 000 BTR purchased – 10%

100 000 BTR до 1 000 000 BTR purchased  -15%

1 000 000 BTR and more – 20%

The collected funds will be used to expand computing facilities and develop a service – cloud computer that will allow to process video, create 3D-graphics, play games that require high computer performance or carry out machine learning on any device, even the most low-performance PC. The team is going to launch project demo by the end of November, 2017.

What makes Boosteroid ICO unique

Boosteroid has a significant advantage as compared to other ongoing ICO projects – the platform is already being developed. The team has a promising business model and road map.

Computing facilities are already operating in Kharkov (Ukraine). When the ICO is completed the team will start scaling Boosteroid in Georgia free industrial zones and they also plan to locate computing facilities in Iceland. So this is a real business but not just an unclear idea.

“We are already building our platform, however the ICO will speed up the process. Tokenization is a natural way to the new level of market relations. In our situation, we offer not just a token but a real service for the people who are willing to support our project. 1 BTR = 1 hour of computing power rent on Boosetoid computing facilities”, – noted Boosteroid CEO Ivan Shvaichenko.

1 BTR = 1 hour Boosteroid computing power rent.

Boosteroid

(1 BTR = the cost of one hour computing power rent on the basis of eight NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphic cards; two Intel Xeon E5 2680v4 processors; RAM 256Gb; SSD 960Gb).

Benefits for investors

Investors will be able to rent Boosteroid cloud computer with BTR tokens or trade them on digital currency exchanges for other cryptocurrency or fiat money and gain profit. Currently the lowest 1 hour computing power rent is $6,5 – $ 10,5 and that means Boosteroid token rate can increase significantly.  

The team wants to maintain the demand for BTR tokens by token repurchase.

Boosteroid

“After the platform is launched our service (exchange service that accepts BTR and USD as a payment for computing power rent – note.)  will automatically receive money from users who pay for Boosteroid computing power and use this money to purchase tokens on the exchange – told CEO.

You can follow the ICO and join it here (https://boosteroid.com/).

  • This could be indicative of exhaustion among buyers as a divergence is also materializing.
  • Profit-taking over the Thanksgiving weekend could lead to larger dips and a pullback opportunity.

Bitcoin price is slowing on its climb, possibly priming for a pullback on profit-taking over the Thanksgiving break.

Technical Indicators Signals

The 100 SMA is safely above the longer-term 200 SMA on this 4-hour time frame so the path of least resistance is to the upside. However, stochastic is turning lower from overbought levels to indicate that sellers are trying to regain the upper hand. RSI is heading lower as well, so bitcoin price might follow suit.

In addition, a bearish divergence can be seen from both stochastic and RSI. The former has shown lower highs so far this week while the latter had lower highs since the start of the month while bitcoin price had higher highs then.

If a drop ensues, bitcoin could still draw support from the ascending trend line connecting the lows since mid-October. This lines up with the 200 SMA dynamic inflection point after all.

Market Factors

Although bitcoin investors appear to be reducing their holdings ahead of the holidays, dollar weakness has continued to prop price higher. This was mostly due to weaker inflation forecasts, spurred by Yellen’s remarks the other day and the FOMC minutes yesterday.

In particular, the minutes noted that many participants worried that inflation could run below target for longer than previously expected. This dampened hopes for another set of aggressive tightening moves for next year, especially since the next Fed Chairperson is deemed less hawkish compared to Yellen.

Bitcoin price also seems to be waiting for more updates on CME bitcoin futures, which the group clarified to have no specific launch date yet since it is pending regulation. Some are doubting that it could push through this year as market watchdogs could focus on the risks involved.

Ever-the Bitcoin bull, Max Keiser has declared that he thinks Bitcoin’s top will be $100,000. According to Russia Today, the network on which Keiser has a regular slot on global economics, Keiser stated in an interview that the  world’s leading digital currency is a “gift from God to help humanity”.

The cryptocurrency advocate went on to elaborate his predictions for the alt-coin market. For him, those currently at the top would likely remain whilst many would disappear:

“Ninety percent of trading is in the top 20 coins, and that will continue. Coins will come and go. The composition of the top 20 will change less frequently. It’s similar to the thousands of stocks that trade on the NYSE and NASDAQ. Over the years, many disappear, new ones are listed. The difference being that with crypto, things move 100 times faster.”

Keiser went on to critique Bitcoin Cash. For him, the hard fork of Bitcoin that occurred this August is merely an attempt to cash in on the brand name of Bitcoin. The sometimes-explosive analyst referred to it as nothing more than an alt-coin and tantamount to plagiarism:

“Bitcoin cash is an alt-coin that has its fans just like many alt-coins. I don’t think anyone who uses bitcoin’s name and applies it to an alt-coin like bitcoin cash does is adhering to acceptable business practices. In other words, bitcoin’s brand is being stolen by a competitor that calls itself bitcoin cash and this is outright fraud in my opinion, just like it’s fraudulent to use Coca-Cola and Nike’s name to sell soft drinks or shoes.”

When asked if Bitcoin was hyper-inflated, he flipped the question on its head. Clearly, the interviewer meant was the price hyper-inflated, however, Keiser of course used the opportunity to rail against the dollar and the rate of inflation in the US. He spoke of the finite supply of Bitcoin and how the number of Bitcoins minted is ever-decreasing. Of course, being a crytocurrency proponent, he measures wealth using a scale comprising of a certain flashy, wing-doored super-car:

“I can buy ten times more Lamborghinis this year than I could last year with the same amount of bitcoin. The US dollar is an inflating asset. There are trillions more of them every year. The amount I need to buy a Lamborghini keeps going up, not down. It’s garbage.”

He concluded by comparing those who don’t believe in Bitcoin today with Michael Dell in the 1990s. The computer manufacturer called Apple an embarrassment and recommended that they shut down. Two decades later, Apple are one of the most valuable companies in the world and as Keiser reminds us: “nobody talks about Michael Dell anymore.”
