What happened in the cryptomarket and the three main currencies — bitcoin, ethereum and XRP over the past 24 hours.
Top-10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as of October 26:
On Thursday the cryptocurrency market followed a neutral scenario. Trading range in bitcoin and ethereum continues to shrink.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin (Bitcoin: BITCOIN) remains in the center of the high-volume area (How many times have we said this now?). The main scenario hasn’t therefore changed.
Time-lapse: on October 26, 2017, bitcoin continued to showcase olympics worthy somersaults, gaining $300, fixing at $5,864.
Daily Scenario
BTC chart by TradingView
The neutral scenario provides for fluctuations within the $6,343 - 6,490 area. Nothing is more stable than that!
Ethereum
Ethereum (BITFINEX: ETH/USD.BITFINEX) spent the day in a very narrow range. For further growth it needs more active buyers at the $198 - 199 levels.
Time-lapse: on October 26, 2017, ethereum price won $4 and stopped at $300.29.
Daily Scenario
ETH chart by TradingView
The base target of the bulls is the upper border of the $206 area and the maximum marks of October 16-17. In case of favorable news, the cryptocurrency can rise in price to $211 and even $223.
XRP
XRP (BITFINEX: XRP/USD) has tested the $0.449 level and the trend line. Will buyers come to the market this time? We will see.
Time-lapse: on October 26, 2017, XRP price didn’t change from $0.205.
Daily Scenario
XRP chart by TradingView
If today the growth levels remain the same as on October 24, the maximum mark of Wednesday ($0.474) will most likely fail, and XRP will go to an area with the control price of $0.486.
