What happened in the cryptocurrency world over the past 24 hours.
Over the night the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market declined by more than $37 billion. Major cryptocurrencies lost about 12-20%. Today all traders are worried because of one simple question: will the crash continue?
Bitcoin descended into a consolidation area of mid-August, which will naturally provide some support to the cryptocurrency. Ethereum is traded near the lower border of the triangle formed in the summer and autumn, 2017 (then it became a launch pad for rapid take-off in November-January). Dash broke through the uptrend line, but managed to stay above the local minimum marks.
Time favors the bulls. The longer the cryptocurrencies remain at the current levels, the higher will the interest be from the buyers.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin (Bitcoin: BITCOIN) fell into the high-volume area with a control price of $6,442 limited by $6,263 and $6,598. Today the most predictable scenario is a consolidation within these borders.
Time lapse: on September 6, 2017 bitcoin price was $4,553.
Daily Scenario

The situation in the market points at possibile V-shaped buyback. In this case the cryptocurrency will win back a significant part of the fall. Probable targets for this scenario are $6,718 and $7,049.
When consolidating in the current area, bulls are interested in testing the $6,534 level (the top of the nighttime jump) and the upper border of high-volume area of $6,598. The global target is $6,789.
Ethereum
Ethereum (BITFINEX: ETH/USD.BITFINEX) dropped into the high-volume area of $209 - 238. The previous test of these levels ended with a rapid buyback. Global support level lies at $198.
Time lapse: on September 6, 2017 ethereum price was $329,14.

Dash
Dash (EXANTE: DASH.EXANTE) broke through the uptrend line, but managed to hold above $160.
