Bitcoin Range-bound after Rally

Bitcoin is trading range-bound after the end of its rally last Thursday. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to our readers. Back then we wrote that with the end of the bitcoin uptrend, the crypto-market is now trading in limbo.

The crypto-market is back into undecided territory after bitcoin ended it’s rally. Prices broke the $300 barrier today, putting an end to the (almost) month-long rally. The uptrend started back on October 14th when BTC/USD broke out above $250 dollars. Bitcoin is currently trading at $314 dollars per coin.

Peercoin Ends Rally

Peercoin ended its short-lived uptrend after prices had a major reversal from the highs, prompted by BTC losses. We topped out at $0.579 on November 4th and we are currently quoted at 37 cents flat, a massive 36 percent lower.

Bitcoin retraced sharply since our last update, falling $123 dollars from the $459 high. In percentage terms, this hi to low decline amounted to 26%. Litecoin was disproportionally affected by the BTC correction, falling a fantastic 35 percent and effectively ending its short-lived rally. But let’s start with big brother first.

Bitcoin Retraces Sharply After Highs

Bitcoin retraced sharply after reaching new 13-month highs last Wednesday. The fall took us briefly to $336.22 but prices didn’t stay low for long and soon BTC/USD stabilized above the $350 handle. One coin is selling for $371.72 dollars at the moment. Last week we warned our readers that the parabolic gains are likely not sustainable:

”It’s hard to see this continuing without a sizable retracement in the next few days. This doesn’t mean that shorts are recommended because trends can often last far longer then anyone expects.”

After staying unaffected by the major bitcoin rally for two weeks, Peercoin and Namecoin are finally starting to take notice. Both cryptocurrencies have now joined bitcoin in uptrends with Peercoin up by 25 percent compared to the prices noted in our last article while NMC is trading higher by 15.2 cents, or 43% in percentage terms.

Peercoin Rallies by 45 Percent

Peercoin staged a strong rally last week, hitting a high of $0.579 yesterday. This was a gain of 45 percent from the $0.40 rally starting point. But as we can see on the chart below, we’ve had a major retracement since then and PPC/USD is currently quoted at $0.456, ”only” 14 percent above the breakout level.

It has been a great week for bitcoin bulls as prices surged to a new high of $363.31 just minutes ago. The total gain since our last update is now at $78 dollars or a fantastic 27% in percentage terms. Meanwhile the rest of the crypto-market is finally joining the party, with Litecoin nearing $4 dollars as I type this.

Bitcoin Surges 27 Percent

Bitcoin gained $78 dollars or 27% since last Tuesday. But the gains from the start of the rally near $250 are even larger, at $108 dollars or a massive 43.2 percent. On the chart below we can see that in the last two days the BTC/USD has gone parabolic. Yesterday we closed higher by $21 dollars and today we’re up by $33 dollars and it’s only lunchtime.

Since our last update, BTC/USD hit another milestone at $300 dollars. We are currently quoted at $304.97 dollars per coin, almost $20 dollars higher since Tuesday. But as bitcoin continues to make new highs, the rest of the crypto-market stays flat. Peercoin briefly entered into a downtrend while both Litecoin and Namecoin are still range-bound.

Peercoin Down but Not Out

Peercoin broke below the $0.349 swing low on October 23rd. Prices continued to fall until a low of $0.333 was hit on October 25th. But here the losses stopped and PPC/USD is currently quoted at $0.361 dollars.

Alternative cryptocurrency Litecoin is still trading range-bound. The altcoin is trading basically unchanged since our LTC update last week, still quoted at $3.02 dollars per coin. Meanwhile bitcoin continued to roar ahead, breaking new highs.

Bitcoin Hits $288.90 on FxOpen

In the past seven days bitcoin managed to break the $270 resistance figure and head higher. Prices hit a new high of $288.90 two days ago, very close to the $290 weak resistance. This caused another sharp retracement down to $274 dollars per coin but the lows didn’t last long. Bitcoin is currently quoted at $285.24, very close to the Sunday highs.

Last week we wrote about how Peercoin and Namecoin refused to follow big brother higher. A lot has changed since then and now both cryptos have broken to the downside. In the past seven days PPC/USD fell by 1.7 cents or 4.6 percent. Meanwhile NMC/USD hit a low of $0.346 today before stabilizing and is currently quoted at $0.354 or 1.1 cents lower. In percentage terms this is around 3%.

Peercoin Breaks to the Downside

Alternative cryptocurrency Peercoin has broken to the downside. Prices hit a new monthly low at $0.349 on October 20th. But since then we have rallied back up somewhat. Today we hit a high of $0.367, almost 5 percent above the lows. But the highs were used by the bears to sell into and PPC is currently down to $0.353 dollars per coin.

It has been an exciting week for bitcoin. Prices topped out at $272.96 then fell over $16 dollars in a major retracement. Meanwhile little brother Litecoin failed to follow bitcoin and rally as well.

Litecoin Fails to Rally

Alternative cryptocurrency Litecoin didn’t follow big brother in the latest up-move. The advance by the bulls got rejected right in that $3.12-$3.18 resistance area marked on the chart below. Prices only traded as high as $3.1510 last week before being pushed back below the $3 dollars handle.

Bitcoin finally broke above the $250 figure today. Prices traded as high as $253.59 in today’s trading session, before a retracement took BTC down to $251.84 dollars per coin. But this new rally has yet to translate into gains for other crypto-currencies. While Litecoin is trending higher, it still hasn’t broken the crucial $3.19 resistance. And both Peercoin and Namecoin remain firmly stuck in the middle of their respective ranges.

Peercoin Still in a 3 Cents Congestion

Alternative crypto-currency Peercoin is still trading within the 3 Cents range outlined in our article last week. The top of this congestion area stands at $0.393 while the bottom is at $0.363. As we can see on the chart below, PPC/USD is currently trading in the middle of its range.

Bitcoin broke the important $245 level just an hour ago. Prices got as high as $247.50 which is exactly where we are trading right now. The bullish BTC push translated into gains for Litecoin as well. Bitcoin’s little brother advanced over 5 cents today, or 1.6 percent.

Bitcoin Breaks $245 Dollars

Bitcoin broke the important $245 handle today. This was the September high for the crypto, as well as the daily high on October 6th and October 11th. On October 7th and October 12th we got as close as $244.95. We kept bumping up against $245 for the past seven days, so it’s no surprise to finally see this level broken.

Both Peercoin and Namecoin are trading barely changed since our update last week. Peercoin is down by only 0.6 cents, that’s just 1.5%. Meanwhile NMC declined by 1/5 of a cent, or only 0.5 in percentage terms.

Peercoin Still Trading in Tight Range

Alternative cryptocurrency Peercoin is still stuck in a tight 3 cents range. The high of this congestion area stands at $0.393 while the low is at $0.363. The low has been moved by 0.2 of a cent after brief foray lower on October 3rd. This shows the importance of having a buffer above and below the current range. False breakouts are plentiful in this type of market environment.

The low marked during the past seven days is at $0.36 while the high stands at $0.41. In percentage terms, this 5 cent range equals to just over 13 percent. This may seem like a lot but keep in mind that the usual weekly range for Namecoin is closer to 10 cents, or double the current value.

Both Bitcoin and Litecoin and still consolidating.Bitcoin is currently quoted at $228.49 dollars, just 41 cents below the price noted in last week’s article.

Today we hit new multi-day lows at $224 but this was quickly followed by a sharp rally to $230.48.

All of the four crypto-currencies we follow have now entered a consolidation period. Peercoin had a sharp correction of almost 24 percent after last week’s 44% surge. Namecoin also declined, by 28 percent when measured high to low. The consolidation period is largely fueled by big brother bitcoin. The crypto has been trading in a tight $5 dollar range for the past four days now.

Peercoin Corrects by 24 Percent

Alternative cryptocurrency Peercoin had a sharp correction of almost 24 percent in the past seven days. After hitting a high of $0.422 last Tuesday, PPC retraced all the way down to $0.321, erasing most of the gains from the 44% surge.
