The first piece of news covered today concerns Allianz executive’s remarks related to Bitcoin. Namely, Mohamad El-Erian, the Chief Economic Adviser of Allianz, said that the most famous cryptocurrency should stabilise around the $5000 handle. “For me, at $5,000, it’s reasonable”, claimed Allianz’s El-Erian for Yahoo Finance. He thereby repeated his similar opinion said in June. Moreover, the Allianz executive stated that “crypto is not dead, and certainly the underlying technology is not dead”.

LITECOIN is another coin marching higher on Thursday. This cryptocurrency price has gone up around 11.5% since midnight. On Thursday morning, LITECOIN is sitting at levels seen on Tuesday. Source: xStation5

Secondly, let’s mention results of crypto-related World Economic Forum and Bain & Company’s research. According to this study, global companies could produce additional $1 trillion in trade finance thanks to blockchain technology. Therefore, blockchain could help partially fill the supply-demand trade finance gap, because it could facilitate financing for small and medium-sized companies in emerging economies.

BITCOIN has experienced just a 3% gain since yesterday which has been well below the gains reached by its peers. The virtual currency is fluctuating a notch above the $6400 handle and above its 33-period moving average on the H4 chart (a purple line). Could BITCOIN recoup its September’s losses?
