Cryptocurrencies Are in The Green Despite Resistance from Bears

Cryptocurrencies are in the green today after a broader selloff yesterday. Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) (BTC) breached the resistance level of $8000 today after social media bans helped bears to control the market. Bears had sTron (available on Binance)gly capitalized on pessimistic reports from regulators and advertisement companies – who are raising questions over the credibility of crypto markets.

Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) price declined close to 11% in the last seven days, due to the impact of Twitter ad ban. The largest crypto coin is down more than 60% in the previous three months.

Traders and analysts are divided on how the markets will behave in the days to come. Some analysts believe that traders reacted aggressively to all the controversies, resulting in a free fall in prices. They also predict the crypto market volatility to extend in the next six months.

Jordan Hiscott, Chief Trader at Ayondo markets, said, “Certainly the halcyon days of performance gains from 2017 seem long gone, and in my view, this could be the situation for at least six months”.

ALTCoins also started posting gains today following a two-day selloff. Cardano (ADA), EOS (EOS), NEO (NEO) and Stellar (XLM) are among the most significant gainers.
