Alt Coins pull back to begin the week

With both Bitcoin and Ethereum pulling back at the open of the week, it makes sense that the alt coins did the same. However, the weekend was good for the alt coins, so perhaps we are finally starting to see some momentum build up.

BTG/USD

Bitcoin Gold rallied over the weekend, but Monday found some profit-taking to be the order of the day. As I record this, we are hanging about the $50 level, an area that should remain important. The $55 level above is the top of a resistance barrier that we are currently trying to take out, so recognize that any movement to the upside would be a bit choppy, but it does look like short-term pullbacks should be buying opportunities based upon value. When I look at the chart, it appears to me that we are forming some type of bottoming pattern.

DASH/USD

The DASH market broke down initially during the week, as the $380 level offer too much in the way of resistance. We pulled back to the $350 level, an area that of course is important due to the large, round, psychological significance of the number, and of course the fact that it has previously been resistance. I believe that the market will continue to go back and forth, and I think that perhaps value hunters will come back into the marketplace, but I also recognize that the $400 level above will be very difficult to break through and continue higher.

XMR/USD

Monero markets pulled back during the session on Monday, as the $200 level has caused a bit too much in the way of resistance. I believe that the market has a significant amount of support underneath that the $185 level as well. If we can break above the $205 level, then I think the market will continue the uptrend towards the $215 level. I think that regardless, it’s going to be choppy, so I would be very cautious about adding too much too soon.
