The alt coins of course continue to react to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have been a bit noisy as of late. It looks as if we continue to see a specific moving average cause a reaction as well, so this at some a bit of technical clarity for the pairs that we follow.
Bitcoin Gold when sideways initially during the trading session on Thursday, reaching towards the 50 SMA. I think that the market acting the way it has towards that SMA is very interesting as the Bitcoin and the Ethereum markets both have done the same thing. I think that the market should continue to reach towards and $30 level, and perhaps even lower. Rallies at this point are not trusted until we can break above the $38 level as bitcoin Gold continues to underperform any other currencies.
The DASH/USD pair has gone sideways initially during the trading session on Thursday but gave back quite a bit of the gains. It continues to hug the 50 SMA as well, so I think that we will continue to grind downwards with this moving average, perhaps reaching down to the $240 level, and that eventually the $225 level. If we were to break above the $280 level, then we could rally from there, and continue to try to recover. Right now though, it looks rather soft.
The Monero markets went back and forth during the trading session on Thursday, initially rallying towards the $135 level before falling over and reaching back towards the $125 level. We have crossed the 50 SMA on this chart though, so it’s possible that Monero may try to make a bit of a rally. However, I would not be a buyer until we break above the $140 level. If we break down below the 50 SMA again, then I think the $115 level will be targeted.
