    Market Mayhem

    Weekly crypto market wrap: BTC targets all time high, ETH faces resistance while XRP searches for support

    As we approach the end of another week, there’s more to ingest than one can actually comprehend. The world woke up to a barrage of missiles in the air as the long-term enemies Israel and Iran settled their old scores. The U.S. joined allies with Israel and hit Iranian nuclear sites, and shortly after, Iran retaliated. However, later on, with President Donald Trump calling for a ceasefire, although it was reportedly violated shortly after, the situation seems to have subsided. In the backdrop of chaos, one would expect the prices of the crypto market to have taken a roller coaster ride; however, amidst the mayhem happening around, the crypto markets have recovered magnificently despite the slight dip.

    During the course of the week, Bitcoin took the pattern of a bearish double top. Although a drastic drop was expected once BTC completed the pattern, however, the bearish outlook was invalidated, as BTC rebounded off the lower trendline and is moving towards testing the upper trendline one more time. The bulls have pulled off an incredible feat as the price has crossed above the 50-day Moving average, which is a good sign.

    As the 50-day Moving Average (MA) closes in on the 200-day MA, a Golden Cross could be on the cards in the near future on the ETH daily chart. A Golden Cross is a bullish sign where the price of cryptocurrency increases drastically after the lines intersect. The lines may intersect once the ETH prices break above the 50-day MA. In the event, ETH breaks above the 50-day MA, the price could reach $2.7K.
