Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) had their highest monthly close ever in October, indicating strong momentum that favors buyers. The focus now shifts to November, which has largely been bullish for Bitcoin. Since 2013, Bitcoin has closed November in the red on only two occasions, in 2018 and 2019. Another positive impetus for Bitcoin could be the tailwinds from the U.S. stock markets, which also have an enviable record in November. The S&P 500 has recorded a median rise of 2% in November, the only month of the year to achieve such impressive median returns. Data from Glassnode also shows …

Bitcoin (BTC) is still in a corrective phase but Ether (ETH) has attracted strong buying, which pushed it to a new all-time high on Oct. 29.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy has continued to add to its already impressive Bitcoin stack. The company’s Q3 report shows that it added 8,957 Bitcoin, taking its haul to 114,042 Bitcoi as of Sept. 30, purchased at an average price of $27,713. The software firm’s appetite does not seem …

Project Serum, a decentralized derivatives exchange for the Solana network, has launched a $100 million liquidity mining program as part of a broader effort to attract users to the ecosystem.

Liquidity mining is an effective tool for DeFi protocols as it incentivizes automated market makers to supply liquidity and enhance the network’s overall operation. As a …

Bitcoin (BTC) has broken back below the psychological support at $60,000. While this seems to be negative in the short term, the price action has continued to mirror its movement in 2017. If the similarity continues for the remainder of the year, Bitcoin bulls may be in for a party. PlanB, creator of the popular Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model, recently proclaimed in a tweet that the second leg of Bitcoin’s bull market has begun. If Bitcoin’s price action continues to follow the S2F model, the analyst believes a rally to $100,000 to $135,000 may be possible by the end of …

Solana (SOL) price is meeting resistance near its all-time high again, but solid fundamentals and the impressive growth of its decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystem are likely to drive the altcoin above $250 before year-end. Institutional investor interest is likely a key factor behind Solana’s impressive 490% gain since August. For example, SOL is the fourth largest Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund ($BITW) component, which overall is a $1.3 billion over-the-counter tradable market instrument. Traders should remember that this event is not necessarily positive since futures contracts require both a buyer (long) and a seller (short). Nevertheless, …

Analyst TechDev believes that Bitcoin’s price action in 2021 is following the same trajectory as in 2017. If that were to happen, Bitcoin could be getting ready for a sharp move higher in the remainder of the year. In a step that could …

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to face strong selling as bulls attempt to flip the psychological level at $60,000 into support. Some analysts believe that Bitcoin could enter a correction as traders book profits following the successful launch of last week's Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. In the past, the launch of the Bitcoin Futures product by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on Dec. 18, 2017, ended a strong bull run and marked the start of a multi-year bear market. A similar crash of a lesser magnitude was seen after the Coinbase IPO (COIN) on April 4, 2021. This suggests that the old adage “buy …
