While the public has perhaps grown rather timid regarding cryptocurrencies the past couple of months because its speculative glimmer has dulled as prices have proven relatively earthbound, the technology behind digital assets, Blockchain, remains the working foundation which may lead to new frontiers and a change back to positive sentiment regarding cryptocurrencies. Governments who seek a way to monitor exact transactions, tech experts who want to counter fraud, insurance companies and even the music industry are consistently looking at Blockchain and its ability to offer a transparency and a quantified ledger of payments.

Bitcoin Registers 1st Quarter Disaster, Confident Speculators Buying?

First quarter trading has ended for Bitcoin with losses that have proven not only steep but has shaken the confidence of long-term speculators. Bitcoin is hovering near the 7000.00 U.S Dollar level. Bitcoin has come off weekend lows which saw the digital asset touch the 6700.00 mark, but its bearish trend has produced relatively few sustained climbs and when they have occurred they have been promptly beaten back. Confident speculators who believe Bitcoin will gather momentum may believe this juncture is a buying opportunity, but important support lurks below around 5750.00 – while resistance registers per technical charts near 8000.00 U.S Dollars per coin.
