Alt coins had a slightly positive session during the day on Friday, while the larger crypto currencies sat still. Most of the crypto currency markets have significant resistance just above, so the next several sessions could be interesting to say the least.
Bitcoin Gold rallied a bit during the trading session on Friday, breaking towards the 140 handle. The market has significant resistance at the $150 level above, and it’s likely that we will see some resistance in that area and perhaps even selling. I think that the alt coins need to see Bitcoin and a theory and take off to the upside, so I would be a bit cautious about buying a significant amount of Bitcoin Gold in the short term. If Bitcoin breaks to the upside against the US dollar, then Bitcoin Gold has an opportunity to rally towards the $200 level.
DASH traders did very little during the trading session on Friday, as we have seen the $700 level offer resistance. This is a neutral candle, and I think that it’s likely that we are going to drift down towards the $600 level, especially considering that Bitcoin and a theory in both look as if they are running into trouble. The $600 level underneath would be supportive, and I think that the market will find buyers in that area. The $800 level above is massive resistance, and I think that given enough time we will find sellers in that area as well. We’ve recently broke above a descending trend line, so that is one of the better signs for this market.
Monero fell during most of the session on Friday but found support at the $280 level to turn around and form a bit of a hammer. Because of this, looks as if the market is somewhat supportive but I also see a lot of resistance just above, especially near the $300 handle. Because of this, I like buying pullbacks, but I’m a bit hesitant to buy here.
