GENERAL OVERVIEW
The past week was a very positive one for the top cryptocurrencies we cover. Last week proved to be nothing more than a temporary retracement and Bitcoin recovered from it and drove the whole market up. Altcoins were able to follow for the major part, with the whole market capitalization now well over 560 billion USD and very high volumes overall.
At this point in time, the uptrend of BTC does not seem destined to fade away with ease. All seems set for a push to 20’000 USD and an all-time high price. This fact itself will pave the way for increasing buzz around BTC and even if BTC fails to keep the level. However, green roads are ahead if it succeeds.
Traditional financial markets are still enjoying a post-US elections rally, particularly with respect to stocks, with US and Asian markets trading at recent or even all-time highs. Some rotation out of techs into different sectors is happening, with gold in the midst of a retracement from the tops at the same time.
Bitcoin closed the period with a price of 18’943 USD and a +14.82% performance w/w, which is one of the best in recent memory. BTC was very fast in taking back the upward trend after a sell-off which did not went further than 16’000 USD. The coin was possibly technically overbought and some take profit was bound to happen. However, things turned for the better rapidly.
Overall, BTC performed better than top altcoins as represented by our indexes.
TOP PROJECTS
All but one of the seventeen cryptos we cover reported a positive result, with eleven double-digit gains. The median return was +11.97%.
Litecoin (LTC) has been the best performer, reporting a +27.46% return w/w for a price of 84.34 USD per coin. The coin was one of the most hardly hit from last week’s sell-off and showed a nice bounce back.
Stellar (XLM) was the last crypto in terms of return after being the best during the previous one. It reported a -5.9% performance w/w in order to close at 0.17 USD.
On a wider period, Ripple (XRP) still holds the top spot in terms of return, with only XLM able to keep the pace, both showing returns well over 100% during the past 30 days.
TECHNICALS
Looking at the last seven days’ prices, the field seems pretty even in terms of number of coins tradin in the upper or lower half of their price range. XLM seems to be experiencing the worst situation.
Looking at technicals, we cannot find a generally valid conclusion on a 7-days period among our indicators. On a wider timeframe, however, Moving Averages’ differences seem to indicate that the uptrend is still healthy. At the same time, MACD is giving the opposite signal, leaving us without a clear indication.
The situation on a monthly basis reflects the huge bounce back of BTC, which is still trading very near to its range’s top.
We proceed to have a look at the frequency distributions of the coins’ price in terms of satoshis to have a look at the relative performances. Monero (XMR) and Ethereum (ETH) are the only coins not losing ground to BTC with respect to their relative price distribution during the last seven days.
