Bitcoin reaches a critical point
Bitcoin has gone high up since November 2017, and Mt Gox sales resulted in a big drop in January 2018 .
Today we reached a critical point at around $7750.
If we drop further it is possible we get as low as $5750.
But as we know, probably we will move up quickly tomorrow evening (starts probably at 20:00 Central European Time).
Nem (Xem) was rising quick a few days ago (low this moment at $ 0.28), so if bitcoin goes up, Xem will continue this previous up approach.
Also Verge will rise quickly because at this time it is at a very low value $ 0.02845.
Recently, the new version of the Bitcoin Core 0.16.0 has been taken into operation. Bitcoin Core software offers full support for Segregated Witness (SegWit) for the first time. As a result, the number of transactions using SegWit increases rapidly.

It will be interesting to keep an eye on how the increasing adoption of Segregated Witness increases the transaction capacity of Bitcoin in practice, because this depends on a number of factors. Transactions become cheaper, and the transaction capacity has been increased through further innovation and the Lightning Network.
