Now that Bitcoin and Ethereum have finally shown some strength during the trading session on Thursday, the alt coins have done the same. However, that’s not to say that things are turning around for the longer-term, we still have some work to do.

BTG/USD

Bitcoin Gold rallied significantly during the trading session on Thursday, gaining 4% as I record this. The market struggle at the $45 level, and I think that resistance barrier extends to the $48 level. A break above the $48 level would confirm that we are trying to change the trend and should go higher. In the meantime, I think short-term pullbacks might offer a bit of a buying opportunity for those who are short-term inclined.

DASH/USD

DASH also rally during the trading session, following Bitcoin and Ethereum much higher. It slammed into the $350 level, an area that has been structurally resistive in the past. I think that short-term pullbacks will probably offer buying opportunities, but if we can break above the $360 level we should be clear to reach towards the $400 level above which is the next major barrier. The $300 level underneath should be a bit of a “floor” in the market, and I think that the market looks likely to continue to try to build a basing pattern. Once we break out, the move could be rather quick. However, it may take several attempts to finally make that move.

XMR/USD

Monero markets have gone back and forth during the trading session on Thursday, but then finally exploded towards the $200 level. That’s an area that is going to be resistive, so the fact that we gave back some of the gains makes sense. I believe that these pullbacks should be buying opportunities, just as a break above the $200 level would be.
