What happened in the cryptocurrency world over the past weekend.
During the weekend, the situation in the cryptocurrency market developed according to a neutral scenario. The attacks, that were aimed at "punishing" short sellers, didn’t follow through and the volume of trading was the lowest since July last year.
Bitcoin
These past three days bitcoin (Bitcoin: BITCOIN) remained in the area of the largest volume over the last year and a half. A decrease of that volume performs as an alarm signal - if today the situation doesn’t change, then we may probably see large downward movement.
Time lapse: on September 17, 2017 bitcoin price fixed at $3,503.
Daily Scenario
