Bitcoin rises to nearly $3900
After several days of lazy trading, the largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin jumped up and hit its one-month high. As a result of bullish charge, the virtual currency price gained around $250 within just 24 hours. The digital currency broke a key resistance area around $3650 which coincided with the 50-period moving average on the daily chart. Nevertheless, it seems that Tuesday’s trading may stop Bitcoin bulls. However, the long upper wick of today’s candlestick may indicate that bulls are trying to push the cryptocurrency price higher.
Ethereum (ETHEREUM on xStation5) experienced another bullish candlestick on the daily chart yesterday. Moreover, the cryptocurrency has begun Monday’s trading also in green. Source: xStation5
