This month Bitcoin has been stuck at $4k level but as the reds take it down, we might finally get to see the direction Bitcoin will go from here. As Mati Greenspan, senior analyst at eToro says in his “Crypto at a Crossroads” post, it all comes down to the “great” descending trendline of Bitcoin that has been looming over the market throughout the crypto winter that we have yet to break down.

Bitcoin is currently testing the major barrier, a strong move above which will mark the “definitive” end to the cold that the market has been anticipating in the form of sideways trading to the most of 2019 and hitting as low as $1,800. But a rejection here, Greenspan says could

“easily lead to another test of the lows at $3,000.”

While Bitcoin price is dropping, the number of nodes is at a rise going from 60k to 80k.

Majority of the market is flashing red as top cryptos slide between the range of 1 to 4 percent while in the last few days lower tier cryptos have been seeing

“parabolic gains on low liquidity.”

73 altcoins saw double digit gains today and 17 of them even saw more than 100℅. 🚀

I'm not holding any of them. 🤦‍♂️

Market analyst and trader, Benjamin Blunts shared updates on a few cryptocurrencies where for Cardano which saw a rise in the past couple of days, he is expecting it to go down to around $0.0558 before making a new high at $0.07 to tap the upper channel resistance.

As for Stellar (XLM), he says, it is “looking good” as a clear ABC pattern is forming. Meanwhile, BNB that rose over 15 percent yesterday is down over 4 percent today, trading at a key resistance level from where if it moves downward could go down to $11.

Currently, today’s highest gainer is WaykiChain with 5.35 percent gains and BAT with 4.32 percent gains while the biggest loser is Repo with over 27 percent losses followed by DigiByte with 14.52 percent losses.
