Mixed feelings on the cryptocurrency market this week. Bitcoin is quite disappointing with -5.7% over a week, falling back to the €8,000 ($8,800) level on November 13. While the market psychology is less bullish on Bitcoin, some altcoins realise strong gains. Over the week, Tezos (XTZ) is up by 25%, Chainlink (LINK) +12%, VeChain (VET) + 31.5% or NEO + 17%. Finally an altcoins season? Which assets are about to perform? Here’s what to know from the market this week.

  • According to CoinGecko, market capitalisation is down this week, to $241 billion from $253 billion last week.
  • The Bitcoin dominance also decreased to 65.6%.
  • China is about to invest more than $2 billion in the blockchain technology by 2023.
  • Ripple (XRP) disappoints again by failing to break the $0.31 level that would have announced a new bull run.
  • Chainlink (LINK) is currently breaking up the $3 key level.
  • The best performance of the week in the top 50 came from VeChain with +31.5%.

We invite you to discover our complete analysis in video (in French and dated from November 12):

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin chart

Coinhouse recommendation: 
Buy

  • Our recommendation is still to buy Bitcoin this week. The current price area, between €7,700 and €8,000 ($8,500 and $8,800) is a good buying opportunity. It corresponds to a correction between 50% and 61.8% of the strong increase of October 26. These Fibonacci retracements are often observed by the market operators.
  • But this buy entry remains risky. We do not have confirmation of a mid-term bullish reversal yet. A breakdown of the €7,700 ($8,500) level with a daily close will be a sell signal.
  • To regain a mid-term bullish sentiment, the price must go back above the €8,500 ($9,400) pivot and the 200-day moving average currently located on the 9300$ level. A daily close above these levels may be interpreted as a new signal to buy more.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum chart

Coinhouse recommendation: 
Hold

  • Nothing new on Ethereum this week, stable with -0.8%, at €170 ($187) on November 13.
  • Our recommendation will be to hold as long as the price remains trapped between the top of our buying area at €160 ($180) and the intermediate resistance of €180 ($200).
  • A bullish break of the $200 level with volumes remains a signal to buy more.
  • For a longer-term buy signal, it will be necessary to wait for the breakup of the €210 ($235) pivot.
  • A clear breakdown of €145 ($160) remains a sell signal.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin chart

Coinhouse recommendation: 
Wait

  • Litecoin loses 2% this week, falling back to 56€ (62$), but remains on a bullish momentum since October 25.
  • We recommend to wait once again this week before buying Litecoin. The price arrives on an interesting first pivot level. But until these resistances are clearly overcome, the bullish reversal is not confirmed.
  • The first level for a risky buy signal is the price breaking up the €56/58 ($62/65) pivot. It acted as a support at the end of August. Moreover, the 50-day moving average is now merging with the $65 resistance.
  • The second less risky signal to buy Litecoin is the price breaking up the major pivot between €70 and €75 ($77 and $85). If the price goes back above this level, then a medium-term bullish reversal will be confirmed.
