The alt coins that I follow here at FX Empire all gained a bit during the trading session on Wednesday, as Bitcoin and Ethereum bounced slightly. Ultimately, I think that these will end up being nice selling opportunities, as the alt coins have been struggling right along with the major crypto currencies.
Bitcoin Gold rallied slightly during the day, gaining over 1% as both Bitcoin and Ethereum rallied to pull the rest of the crypto currency markets higher. Because of this, it’s likely that this is a short-term rally only, and I see that there is a lot of noise between here in the psychologically important $50 level. Quite frankly, I’m not going to bet on a digital currency that hasn’t been able to hold gains for a significant amount of time against the greenback, which is the strongest fiat currency in the world currently.
The DASH market rallied a bit as well, but obviously is in a downtrend. I think selling rallies makes a lot of sense, especially near the $350 level which should be psychologically and structurally important. The market has recently broken below the $300 level, a bit of a milestone, so a reaction was to be expected. However, we have broken below the $300 level once before, so that means the next time will be easier.
Monero rallied a bit more than 1% during the trading session as I record this, reaching towards the $160 level. While it has been rather volatile as of late, the one thing that you cannot deny is that Monero has been underperforming for quite some time. I believe the market will rally again for a short amount, but until we break above the $180 level, I’m not impressed and I’m looking to sell signs of exhaustion.
