Bitcoin and Ripple Latest

22 нояб. 2018 г.

Bitcoin and Ripple - the two largest coins by market capitalization – still languish near their multi-month lows as the expected ‘buy the dip’ crowd remain noticeable by the absence. Over the last few months, most sharp falls in the cryptocurrency market have been followed by a reasonable rebound – dip buyers – before the market stabilized and moved lower again. This week’s heavy sell-off however - most coins are down between 25% and 40% - has sparked little buying interest, leaving prices vulnerable to fresh falls.

We can see how these daily and weekly changes affect our trading sentiment/bias for a range of cryptocurrencies.
