Bitcoin (BITCOIN on xStation5) has approached its key price level around $4000, but failed to break above so far. Will bulls manage to break out of the current trading range or are we doomed for more sideways trading? Source: xStation5

Crypto indices listed on Nasdaq, Bloomberg and Reuters

CoinMarketCap, the premier price-tracking website for cryptocurrencies, announced that its two crypto-related indices would be listed on Nasdaq Global Index Data Service, Bloomberg Terminal, Thomson Reuters Eikon and Boerse Stuttgart. The indices show a market capitalization of 200 weighted cryptocurrencies. First of them is the CMC Crypto 200 Index, and it includes Bitcoin (the index covers more than 90% of the crypto market). The latter is the CMC Crypto 200 ex BTC Index, which is quite similar to the first one, but it excludes Bitcoin - the largest cryptocurrency accounts for roughly 50% of the total crypto market cap.

Ripple (RIPPLE on xStation5) is still trading in the vicinity of the 50-period moving average (a light green line) on the daily chart. However, the long lower wicks of recent candlesticks suggest that Ripple bulls hold grip over the market. Source: xStation5
