First, Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV), the ratio between market capitalization and realized cap, is consolidating towards one, meaning that Bitcoin investors are taking profits. It usually marks a bottom for the cryptocurrency market.

Moreover, the Unrealized Profit indicator is creating a similar picture. Currently, investors are getting less profitable, the selling pressure of $ BTC is starting to decline, allowing the momentum to build.

Popular analyst Jonny Moe noted that BTC’s chart is currently building a bottom-out pattern, which could indicate that its downtrend formed after the pump to $ 10,500 has ended.

Meanwhile, Willy Woo, a partner of Adaptive Capital, noted that the on-chain momentum is turning to territory gains after months of recession. This is an index that analysts have long claimed to correlate with Bitcoin’s macro price trend.

Woo did not give details on the index although the analyst has confirmed that momentum is starting to rise.

Schwartz emphasized the fact that despite the misunderstandings, millions in the US do not have sufficient access to mainstream financial services during Ripple’s keynote at UBRI Connect 2019.

According to Schwartz, Ripple’s broader mission is to help financial institutions and their customers transfer money as quickly and efficiently as email and XRP are likely to play an important role in improving payment speed and efficiency.

Litecoin News

Sylvain Saurel, a developer and entrepreneur, posted on Medium about predicting the end of Litecoin because the ideology behind it “will not survive in time”. Saurel went on to say that although Charlie Lee is willing to build “Digital Silver”, Lee’s attempt to provide a light and fast version of Bitcoin will fail.

Saurel makes three arguments for his statement:

  • First, LTC has a weakness because it has someone responsible for its operations.
  • Second, Saurel accused Lee of selling all of his LTC holdings.
  • Finally, Saurel stated that BTC does not need an accepting company when market demand for another type of BTC will not happen in the short term.
