A week of indecision in the crypto market. The price of Bitcoin, up 12% in a week, is nevertheless ranging between $9,000 and $10,000 to settle around €9,000 ($9,800) on May 20. The €9,200 ($10,000) resistance level is about to be tested for the third time in two weeks. The more the price consolidates under this resistance, the greater the chances of a bullish break taking place.

Altcoins remain correlated to Bitcoin, even if some values stand out this week, such as Zcash with +19% and especially OmiseGo with +60%. Ethereum remains in its resistance zone between $200 and $220. Indecision is also noticeable in the stock markets. The U.S. S&P500 index has been hovering for several weeks around 2850 points, a potential bearish reversal level after several weeks of rebounding. The correlation between the crypto sector and the stock markets therefore seems to be continuing. Analysis.

  • According to CoinGecko, capitalization is up again this week to $259 billion, up from $246 billion seven days ago.
  • Bitcoin’s dominance remains high at 66.7% compared to 66.3% last week.
  • The OmiseGo Altcoin (OMG) offers the best performance in the top 50 with +60% over the week.
  • JPMorgan Bank is now opening up to cryptos companies and is beginning to grant customer accounts to a few platforms.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Coinhouse’s Recommendation : 
Wait/hold

  • We still have to be patient this week on Bitcoin. The €9,200 ($10,000) resistance zone is being tested again. The probabilities remain on the buyers’ side as the uptrend on the daily timeframe, initiated since March 13, remains intact.
  • For those who would like to strengthen their purchases, you have to wait until the price breaks up above the €9,300 ($10,100) level on the daily timeframe. This would then be a buy signal. The price would then move to the next resistance zone, between €10,300 and €11,100 ($11,500 and $12,500), which is a good area for strong profit taking.
  • On the contrary, if the $10,000 still stands in the way, the sellers will take over. The first support to watch out for will be the €7,400 and €7,600 ($7,900 and $8,200) level, but the chances of it holding will be low. Breaking this intermediate support will be a sell signal and will trigger a more powerful bearish reversal, which should eventually lead the price towards the major support of €6,000 to €6,200 ($6,500 to $6,800).

Ethereum (ETH)

Coinhouse’s Recommendation : 
Search for a buy entry point

  • Ethereum (ETH) earns 13% over one week to settle around €195 ($213) on 20 May. But in the end, the price remains in its potential reversal zone of €185 to €200 ($200 to $220). If buyer pressure continues, this zone should eventually break, it will be a buy signal and the price will move to the next resistance zone of €250 ($260), which corresponds to a previous market peak worked in February. Profit taking can then take place at this level.
  • Conversely, if the current price zone still rejects the price, it will redirect itself to the €165-€170 ($180-$190) support. Beware, if the bearish reversal amplifies, this intermediate support won’t hold and you’ll have to look for purchases at the chartist level of €140 ($160) instead.

Litecoin (LTC)

Coinhouse’s Recommendation : 
Wait

  • Litecoin (LTC) appreciates 8% this week to €41.70 ($45.50) on May 20.
  • Since the sharp fall in March, Litecoin has recovered much less compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, showing that this asset remains weaker. It is moving in a very slightly bullish regression channel, which is more akin to a correction after the sharp drop in March. Thus, the bottom of the pivot zone at €35.50 ($40) appears to be a support that must be held or else a new bearish trend will occur on Litecoin.
  • To buy on Litecoin again, you will have to break the regression channel from the top, which means breaking the €50 ($55) level. Before doing so, we advise to stay away from this asset which is unable to start a strong uptrend at this stage.
