Bitcoin Records Highest Monthly Close Ever, What’s Next for BTC?

Bitcoin closed the month of October at $61,343, which is its highest monthly close ever recorded. As Bitcoin Archive notes on Twitter, all-time high monthly closes are quite often a sign of more strength to come.  Bitcoin’s closing price was roughly 3% away from analyst PlanB’s floor price prediction of $63,000, though that level was already hit earlier in the month. PlanB is now shooting for $98,000 in November, or about a 58% gain over the next 30 days.  Some analysts are looking to previous bull markets to forecast what’s

Amount of Bitcoin Stored on Exchanges at Lowest Point Since May 2019

On-chain analytics provider Santiment has reported that the supply of Bitcoin sitting on exchanges has fallen to levels not seen since May 2019. This is usually considered bullish as investors take BTC off exchanges when they’re in a position to hold and are not interested in selling. Santiment called it a “good sign of sell-off risk decreasing.” Bitcoin prices have been falling this week in the wake of a renewed crackdown in China and another round of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) that followed it.

Litecoin’s price has seen its own share of ups and downs this month. However, of late, the downs have been more prominent than the ups on the charts. Inevitably, the alt’s market cap shrank. As a result LTC has slipped on CoinMarketCap’s rankings chart as well. The alt that was once a part of the top 10, occupied the 16th position at the time of writing. Barring one instance since 7 May, LTC was evidently trading below $200. In fact, its press time state was even worse with the alt

Supply dynamics suggest Bitcoin can make a run for $100k if… 

Bitcoin’s upward trajectory, after getting interrupted by an 18% dip last week, was met with a lot of consolidation. However, as Bitcoin holders looked reluctant to sell-off at a crucial time amid anticipation of a price rise, on-chain metrics offered an interesting insight into the current market sentiment.  Some interesting divergences in BTC’s supply dynamics posed a complex question – Are they projecting bullish or bearish divergences? Ergo, to gauge bullish/bearish signals, it is imperative to weigh the same against market sentiments to understand the crypto’s price trajectory.  Post-halving blast

Is Cardano Finally Ready To Blast Through $3.00? Analyst Benjamin Cowen Looks at State of ADA

Widely followed crypto analyst and trader Benjamin Cowen is weighing in on what could lie ahead for Cardano’s (ADA) bull run. In a new strategy session, Cowen says Cardano’s near future relies heavily on one simple metric involving Bitcoin. According to the crypto strategist, as long as Bitcoin stays above its 20-week moving average – currently around $42,500 – ADA has more room to run.  ADVERTISEMENT   “Is ADA likely to hit $3.00?

Blockchain technology and its underlying use cases are currently the “talk of the town.” With each passing day, its popularity has grown, especially since introducing cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and, more recently, Ethereum.

Several blockchain-based startups have emerged over the years, but most of them have failed due to an
