BITCOIN : Will it break $20,000 Level ?

(Tue, 1 Dec 2020). The latest cryptocurrency rally is on pause at the moment with a wide range of coins and tokens consolidating their recent heavy gains. Bitcoin continues to lead the way forward and yesterday touched a new all-time high of just under $20,000 and now looks set to move even higher in the coming days. Other tokens and coins have rallied hard recently but remain far away from their December 2017 spike peaks. BTC’s dominance of the market remains at just over 62% with the market as a whole capitalized around $580 billion.

Bitcoin continues to gain support from a positive moving average set-up with all three simple dmas pointing higher and in sequence. Last Thursday’s sell-off has been bought back, producing a short-term series of higher lows and higher highs, while the CCI indicator is only just in overbought territory. Short-term support around $18,200-$18,400.

Ripple (XRP/USD) still has a long way to go before it troubles the highs seen in December 2017 when it spiked in excess of $3.05, or even higher depending on which exchange is used. What is very noticeable on the Ripple daily chart is the sharp move higher in volatility using the ATR reading at the bottom of the chart. Ripple currently trades around 66 cents while the daily vol reading is nearly 7 cents, the highest level since the beginning of December 2017 and the start of the sharp spike higher. Again, all three moving averages are supportive and a re-test of last Thursday’s high of $0.78 may be likely.
