By Emma On Dec 2, 2019

From Bitcoin’s upside potential to Ethereum Parity v2.5.10-stable and v.2.6.5-beta release. These are some of the prominent news in the crypto space.

Bitcoin News

Bitcoin is currently hovering around the $ 7200 mark, with a drop of more than 1%. Many traders previously predicted BTC would make a reversal move to rise above $ 7400. But the miracle did not happen and prices continue to spiral downward.

Even after the failed attempt to recover quickly, some technical analysts believe that No.1 could make an unexpected move up to $ 7,800. The reason is that CME futures gaps can be filled within 24 hours, according to analyst Daniel.

Contrary to Daniel’s point of view, popular analyst Josh Rager believes that the price of Bitcoin is about to slide below $ 7000 whether gaps are filled or not. He sees the $ 7,150 area as a strong stronghold for the bulls as the trading volume of BTC tends to increase sharply within this range.

$BTC – as long as $7150 holds, this will be a key area because it’s the point of controls, the area with the most volume traded in this range

But let’s not kids ourselves, $6ks are coming again sooner or later

CryptoThies is in the same position as Rager, saying that Bitcoin’s recent downward trend has “crushed” all the remaining positive sentiments and now is the time to short.

Yikes. I’m taking the hint this time guys.. $BTC is done for a while. This squashes some bullish sentiment i was feeling yesterday ….the purpose and reason I built this tool was to eliminate my emotion in analysis and it’s pretty clear I need to listen to it.

Bitcoin’s upside potential after halving 2020

PlanB analyst said despite Bitcoin’s craziness in 2019, with a high of nearly $ 14,000 and a low of nearly $ 3,000, BTC is still on its way to reaching $ 100k, according to the stock-to-flow ratio (S2F).

He said that Bitcoin’s halving, expected to happen next May, remains one of the strongest catalysts for the future development of King of Cryptos.

#Bitcoin halving .. 5 months to go ?

For miners: production cost of 1 btc will double

For investors: stock-to-flow (unforgeable scarcity, inability to inflate stock) will double pic.twitter.com/JWNbJyil4a

— PlanB (@100trillionUSD) December 1, 2019

According to PlanB, the model shows that $ 100k is likely to occur between 2020 and 2023.

Although common, this rate is somewhat in doubt. In early November, analyst and economist Alex Krüger said that S2F was not reliable.

“The Stock to Flow model is to bulls, what the Tether Manipulation paper is to bears. Both based on fancy looking statistical models (more so the latter). Both are flawed. Doubt whoever believes in these extremes will change their minds. The mind believes what it wants to believe”.

Data scientist predicts BTC price through Deep Learning technology

A data scientist at India’s renowned Vellore Institute of Technology has outlined a method to accurately predict cryptocurrency prices in real-time using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. LSTM is a type of neural network designed to classify, process and predict time series in indefinite time periods.

In a blog post on December 2, researcher Abinhav Sagar presented a four-step process for using machine learning technology to forecast prices in an area he thought was relatively difficult to predict. compared to the traditional market.

CoinField recently activated the Ripple-approved validator on XRP Ledger.

CoinField exchange CEO Bob Ras said XRP Ledger is facing stressful tests for its new tokenized asset trading platform, Sologenic.

Sologenic is designed to allow people to trade thousands of encrypted stock versions and ETFs with both XRP and a new token called SOLO.

XRP price maybe drop to $0.08

After Ripple unlocked an additional 1 billion XRP in the Ripple Escrow wallet, the cryptocurrency community was concerned about another decline in XRP prices.

Given the fact that the third-largest cryptocurrency on the market is trading at $ 0.22, things seem bleak for short-term investors. However, long-term players are ready for the rollercoaster full of volatility and are extremely excited when the big coins drop in price so they can buy dip.

A trader on Twitter said that the XRP price had the potential to drop to $ 0.08. JOKER said it was great that XRP is currently trading below $ 0.23. He has never felt so good because at this price traders and investors can buy it at a bargain price.

“Charts indicating a dip to $ 0.08 – $ 0.13 is possible. More it dips harder it pumps!”

#XRP is trading below $0.23 and it is great! Never felt so good. Charts indicate a dip to $0.08 – $0.13 is possible.
more it dips harder it pumps!
Cheaper Better!#xrpcommmunity
