Cryptocurrency Prices, News and Technical Analysis

  • BlackRock and Coinbase news helps to improve market sentiment.
  • Latest rally needs consolidation if higher prices are to be made in the short-term.

Cryptocurrency Prices Spike Higher

Cryptocurrencies across the board jumped between 5% and 10% in a one-hour period on Tuesday, taking out several resistance levels in the process. The spike was accompanied by higher volume but the lack of any follow-through, and with some coins now drifting lower, the move may be a bull-trap. For the market to move higher the new support/old resistance levls now need to hold and volume pick-up again. Overall the market capitalization nears $295 billion, up from late-june’s low around $236 billion but still sharply lower from the $830 billion record high printed on Janaury 7 this year.

News that BlackRock is looking at cryptocurrencies and blockchain excited the market earlier this week along with news last Friday that digital exchange Coinbase was considering adopting five new altcoins.
