A $15K Bitcoin Likely As Price Breaks Above “Multi-Year Bullish Triangle”

Bitcoin expects to hit a $15,000 valuation in the coming sessions, says full-time futures trader Adam Mancini. The Twitterati stated earlier Monday that BTC/USD closed above a “multi-year bullish triangle” by almost $2,000. The pair’s giant move above the “continuation pattern” increased its likelihood of testing short-term breakout targets, beginning with $15,000. Mr. Mancini said Bitcoin could extend its upside towards $24,000, as well. “[The cryptocurrency] may be the new kid on the block but the same old classic patterns that apply to all financial assets still apply,” he tweeted.

Here’s Why Analysts Are Expecting For Ethereum To Drop Back Towards $370

Ethereum, following Bitcoin’s lead, is effectively flatlining into the week’s close around $390. This is above critical support levels, though bulls are not yet convinced that ETH is primed to move higher. Analysts say that ETH could actually drop towards the $370 level, then push higher. Multiple analysts agree with this line of reasoning, citing a variety of technical reasons. Ethereum does have a positive fundamental case, though, that may limit downside. What may also limit the downside for the leading cryptocurrency is strength in the price of Bitcoin. Ethereum

Ransomware Attacks Demanding Crypto Are Unfortunately Here to Stay

Year after year, the ransomware landscape changes dramatically. In 2019, a new resurgence of attacks occurred as businesses and government institutions became the main targets of ransomware, given their capacity to yield larger payouts. The most recent attack was against Garmin, a navigation systems company, on July 23. Due to the attack, many of its online services such as customer support, website functions and company communications were affected. Reportedly, the Russian cybergang Evil Corp launched the attack, demanding $10 million in cryptocurrency to restore access to Garmin’s services. Overall, according to a

Cryptocurrency News Roundup for Aug 3, 2020

Bitcoin started the week on a positive note after an unusually volatile weekend by recent standards. The BTC/USD price temporarily reached a local high of over $12,000. The eventful weekend was preceded by a credit-rating downgrade from Fitch who placed a “negative outlook” on the United State’s triple-A rating on Friday. Fitch added that a “resurgence of inflation” could be on the cards, which would in turn force the Fed to increase interest rates. It would be interesting to see the effects that would have on Bitcoin and its brethren.

Trouncing February’s highs of $300 billion, the total market cap surged to $360 billion this past Sunday. The figure has yet to top the 2019 peak in mid-June when the total cap exceeded

Why Bitcoin’s 3-Day Candle Close Could Lead to a “Parabolic Advance”

Bitcoin is currently expressing intense signs of strength as its price pushes up towards the $12,000 region. Although it has yet to breach this key level successfully, its strong overnight upswing does seem to indicate that a move higher is imminent in the near-term. This strength is likely rooted in the bullish monthly close that the benchmark cryptocurrency was able to post yesterday. This was the first time in three years that Bitcoin was able to close its monthly candle above $10,700. Many analysts are now noting that this may
