We ain't seen nothin' yet!!! Current MC: $169.5B (+$17B in 5 days) Bitcoin Dominance 54.2% (STILL VERY HIGH)

With the market cap growing almost daily now we have seen a massive shift from the alt-coin markets back into Bitcoin as people anticipate the hard-forks that are headed our way. The Bitcoin dominance is extremely high as BTC reclaims what was once its territory. We are only about $10.5B away from the all-time high for the market cap which we could break past very soon. Remember that as Bitcoin prices go up and down the alt-coin markets are drastically affected as a result. Once BTC prices kind of slow down we should see a slight shift back into the more popular alt-coins since many are undervalued.

In today's chart you will see that we had a massive surge over the past week which set the new record high at $5920 which is unbelievable! There has since been a slight correction as we have fallen below the moving average (~$5660) and are slightly oversold right now. This resulted in a retracement to the $5500 support level (0.382 on FIB scale) and further retracements are definitely possible considering how quickly the price jumped up.

Likely Scenarios:

  • BTC falls back down to the $5250-5375 zone before finding a solid base of support
  • BTC holds above the mid $5000 range before rallying back towards $5650+
  • A nice pump in volumes sends us back towards $5850-5950

TLDR Version:
Bitcoin prices have grown a little too quickly and the market needs time to adjust. The $5K+ price is a bit high for many investors while newer investors with no frame of reference are simply buying at ANY price. Expect Bitcoin to hold between $5250 and $5650 until we can break past $6K

Price Target:
$5650

It’s definitely on the move lately.

What do you think of Vertcoin? I bought some at 70 cents, it's been doing well the last 1 month. But without knowing much what it is, maybe you can share some knowledge? Thanks

Vertcoin is very similar to Litecoin as far as block speed and number of coins in circulation. They implemented SegWit way before Bitcoin ever did, and they aim to have DECENTRALIZED mining where there is fairer distribution and access. They are working to use a lightning network with atomic swaps and are also trying to develop a privacy feature with stealth addresses. No pre-mine of their coin either. Sounds actually like a very good coin to own going into the next year as Bitcoin implements their lightning network.
