Alt coins got hammered again during the week, as even the large players such as Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to struggle. As long as those major players get beaten down, these coins will do the same.

BTG/USD

Bitcoin Gold has broken down significantly during the week, slicing through the $100 level like it wasn’t even there. We are testing significant lows, and if we break down below the $75 level, I think that they will probably go looking towards the $50 level next. A breakdown below that level census market to who knows where next. Ultimately, I think that this market continues to be very negative, and rallies probably offer selling opportunities as long as we are below the $100 level.

DASH/USD

The DASH market broke down significantly during the week as well, as we are reaching towards the $400 level. If we break down below there, the market probably goes down to the $300 level, or perhaps even lower than that to the $200 level. If we get some type of rally in the DASH market, I believe that it’s going to end up being a selling opportunity on signs of exhaustion, although you may need to look at shorter time frames to take advantage of that potential trade. I believe that it’s not until either Bitcoin or Ethereum rally significantly that we can see – rally.

XMR/USD

Monero traders continue to sell off the markets, as we have reached down towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level again. That’s an area that of course offers a bit of psychological support, but at this point crypto currencies continue to struggle, and I think Monero won’t be any different. We need to see Bitcoin rally before Monero can rally as well.
