Day: November 23, 2017

It is Thanksgiving in the US today so chances are we’re going to see some lighter than normal volume with regards to our trading in the bitcoin price – at least, that is, throughout the US session later on. This morning, there’s a good chance we will see no real impact, meaning we could get some considerable volatility during the European session.

So, with that said, let’s dive straight into our analysis and put together some levels that we can use to try and draw a profit from the market as and when things move during the session today.

As ever, take a quick look at the chart below to get an idea where things stand. It is a one-minute candlestick chart and it has our range overlaid green.

As the bitcoin price chart shows, the range we are looking at for the session today comes in as defined by support to the downside at 8080 and resistance to the outside at 8147. We are going to look at jumping into a long trade if and when we see a close above resistance. On the trade, we will target an upside level of 8195 and will use a stop loss somewhere in the region of 8135 to ensure that we are taken out of the position for a small loss if things turn against us in the markets.

That’s the long trade. Now the short trade.

If price breaks below support, we will watch out for a close below that level to validate (signal) a downside entry towards a target of 8000 flat. Again, we need to place a stop on this one to ensure that we don’t get caught up on the wrong end of an irretrievable loss. With this in mind, we will look at placing an SL somewhere in the region of 8110.

Let’s see how things play out.

In efforts to kick-start the acquisition of virtual assets and develop their 3D marketplace, ViMarket has just announced at ICO Forward in NY, the pre-sale of its Ethereum based digital currency “ViTokens” from December 7, 2017.

New York, NY November 15th 2017 – ViMarket is pleased to announce that the pre-sale of the company’s digital currency ViToken, an ethereum based cryptocurrency, is all to get underway on December 7. The crowdsale of ViTokens will allow access to the utility tokens at a significant discount compared to the expected retail price. ViMarket’s Initial Coin Offering (ICO) has been scheduled to start from December 1st, after the completion of the presale campaign.

A 3D marketplace that allows users to create and share virtual reality (VR) experiences, ViMarket promises to bring about a much-needed breakthrough in the global e-commerce ecosystem. The VR technology utilized by ViMarket is utilized in online games to offer unprecedented confidence and value to the shoppers while making a purchase from any of their internet connected devices.
With its proprietary editor, ViMarket allows users to create interactive, photorealistic VR simulations regardless of their professional experience or training. At present, the primary areas of focus for ViMarket are the real-estate and interior decoration sectors. However, very soon, it is expected to include fashion, automotive and ultimately all e-commerce verticals.

ViMarket encourages users to become “visionaries” by purchasing the virtual version of their contemplated purchase using ViTokens, and simulate the ownership before deciding to purchase the Real-Life (RL) product. This is achieved through simple, easy to use tools that allow customers or “visionaries” to recreate environments within which the product would be utilized, then comparing the product against other choices, thereby reducing “shopping cart abandonment’, estimated to cost online retailers up to $6.2 Trillion annually.

The most significant value proposition offered by ViMarket comes in the form of its proprietary “ViToken” virtual currency that allows users to purchase the virtual version (“virsion”) of the things they are interested in. This virtual “try before you buy’ feature represents real economic value because owning the virsion of an item entitles the owner to a specific discount on the purchase of the RL product from the “Merchant Sponsor” selling the item on the platform.

“ViTokens, therefore, are exponentially more valuable than their cost to shoppers who are seriously considering purchasing an item.“ says Kant Jain, the chief visionary and the Director of ViMarket.

ViMarket has recently engaged David Drake, and his firm LDJ Capital, as the lead board advisor for their upcoming Initial Coin Offering. Mr. Drake is a noted blockchain advocate with over twenty-five years of experience in supporting and developing technology, media, telecommunications, real estate, hospitality, cleantech, energy and social impact projects.

“I’m extremely excited and honored to be involved in such a potentially disruptive solution for e-commerce” said Drake, in an interview filmed at the NASDAQ stock exchange and available on the ViMarket’s ICO site, Vimarket.io.

A lot of things have changed in the world of cryptocurrency these past few days. A lot of currencies are surging in value, with Bitcoin being the only big exception right now. The Bitcoin Cash price, for example, is surging once again. With a value of over $1,550 at the time of writing, there is a genuine interest in this altcoin. How high the Bitcoin Cash price can go, remains to be determined, though.

Another Bitcoin Cash Price Surge Emerges

This past week and a half have been excellent for most cryptocurrencies. Although there are still some very dubious market movements in the altcoin department, we now see the currencies with genuine support establish themselves properly. For all intents and purposes, Bitcoin Cash is here to stay, by the look of things. In fact, the altcoin has seen another major price surge over the past 24 hours. This is a remarkable trend, considering the Bitcoin Cash price crashed hard after setting an all-time high of over $2,500 not that long ago.

Now that things are heading back in the right direction for the Bitcoin Cash price, an interesting scenario ensues. An overnight gain of over 32% is anything but natural or organic, mind you, but it shows there is still some good money to be made with this altcoin. Speculators will be more than pleased to see things head in the right direction, as a lot of people made an easy $300 overnight by doing absolutely nothing. Once the profit-taking starts to take place, we may see a lot more Bitcoin Cash price volatility in the coming hours and days.

Over the past 24 hours, we have seen the Bitcoin Cash price start at $1,200 and climb all the way to nearly $1,600 before retracing slightly. Right now, one BCH is worth $1,570, which is a pretty solid value for this altcoin. It is certainly possible we will see the Bitcoin Cash price head toward $2,000 in the coming days, but nothing has been set in stone just yet. Speculators are in the driving seat where BCH is concerned, and that situation will not change anytime soon.

One thing well worth taking note of is how Bitcoin Cash is generating a massive amount of trading volume all of a sudden. Things had quieted down a bit on this front, but it seems we are in for a wild ride once again. With nearly $4bn in 24-hour volume, Bitcoin Cash is certainly in high demand right now, that much is evident. Such a massive trading volume brings a lot of competition to the other altcoins. However, the total trading volume for all cryptocurrencies combined is back in the eight-digit range for the first time in almost a week.

As we have seen far too often in the past, virtually half of the Bitcoin Cash trading volume originates from the Bithumb exchange. It is interesting to see how things will play out in this regard, as no one seems to be concerned with this particular aspect. It is not healthy to see one exchange artificially inflate the Bitcoin Cash price, though, as it automatically forces other exchanges to follow this trend. Right now, Bitfinex and Coinone are doing their best to keep up, but it is not going smoothly by any means.

This second Bitcoin Cash price pump in as many weeks will certainly shake things up in the cryptocurrency world once again. It is good to see most of this demand being driven by fiat currencies, rather than taking value away from other cryptocurrencies. We need fresh money to enter cryptocurrency in the next few years, instead of recycling the existing value into different currencies. How all of this will play out, remains to be seen. Bitcoin Cash is not going away, nor should it. However, this growth is not natural by any means and certainly doesn’t illustrate the actual demand for this currency as a Bitcoin replacement.

Don’t be a n00b, take some new advice.

Ronnie Moas advises healthy diversification when it comes to investing in a cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Cash remains a very interesting creature in the world of cryptocurrency. Although the opinions on this altcoin remain divided, no one can argue the value is surging. More specifically, the price per BCH has surpassed $1,500 again overnight. It also appears the mining profitability is slightly in favor of BCH as of right now. An interesting future lies ahead for this particular currency, that much is evident.

In a way, it was a matter of time until Bitcoin Cash saw another ‘pump”. It is hard to classify price momentum like this as it often comes out of the blue. Now that the hard fork has been dialed in properly, things are slowly returning to normal for BCH. That means we may see the price move toward $2,000 before the year is over. It will all depend on how much people are willing to pay for this currency.

More Positive Momentum for Bitcoin Cash

So far, we have seen a 32% increase in price over the past 24 hours. This seems to coincide with Bitcoin Cash becoming more profitable to mine. Although the difference is minuscule between both chains, BCH is the best option at the time of writing. Whether or not enough people care about this 0.2% difference, is doubtful, though. Speaking of the mining situation, an interesting situation is developing. An “unknown” entity is mining nearly half of the network blocks all of a sudden.

Since these blocks do not belong to an official pool, it is interesting to keep an eye on. When the network first launched, we had unknown miners generate 75% of all blocks for a few days. This doesn’t appear to be a repeat process, though. In fact, we see there are several entities labeled as Unknown. All of them use a different coin base text when they find a block. That in itself is pretty interesting, albeit also a bit worrisome. At the same time, it shows greater interest in Bitcoin Cash as a whole.

This upcoming weekend will be rather interesting for all cryptocurrencies. With virtually all top currencies in the green, fireworks are to be expected. Who will come out on top, remains the big question. Right now, the momentum favors BCH, but that can always change at any given moment. Monero has been going strong all week as well, as has Dash. Litecoin might surprise everyone, though, as very few people actively talk about it these days. There is no such thing as a boring day in cryptocurrency.
