Crypto Brief Dec.31: Bitcoin is risk of plummeting to $ 1,000 plus Ripple, XTZ, BCH, ETC, ETH, TRX, Binance, CoinRoutes, Tomochain, Huobi, WaveExchange
From Bitcoin’s deepening risk to BinanceUS launched the public iOS beta. These are some of the prominent news in the crypto space.
Bitcoin News
According to trader Velvet, Bitcoin needs to maintain the 100-week moving average, currently at around $ 7,000. If this level is lost on a macro basis and drops to $ 5,000 levels, it will confirm that the bulls have lost momentum, confirming a C Elliot wave will push the asset back to $ 1,000.
“Traders” that are hoping for $BTC to go to the 200MA level and think it will rally from there are either really dumb or are tricking you.
? Holding 100MA is crucial!!!!
? If price drops to the 200MA, means we lost momentum to the upside (Confirms Elliot C-Wave) https://t.co/PancTBUSfM

Bitcoin is trading at $ 7,260, marking a slight retreat from the daily high above the $ 7,500 that was established yesterday.
Bitcoin buyers have tried many times over the past several days and weeks to create bullish momentum in the mid- and upper-$ 7000.
In the short term, analysts found yesterday’s quick rally to simply mark lower high, and that crypto will not be able to generate any sustained momentum until it breaks above $ 7,800.
Analyst Josh Rager talked about this in a recent tweet, noting that this current price action could simply mark a period of accumulation.
Needs to break above $7800s and close above for me to feel bullish about a possible trend reversal
Until then, price continues to range with possible accumulation (over five weeks in this range)
So far, price possibly just made another lower-high today pic.twitter.com/R4uiHbwkfp

While $ 7,800 may be a major level that speculators need to push Bitcoin higher in the near term, it’s important to note that the cryptocurrency is still stuck in a descending channel, which will keep BTC in a strong downtrend until the bulls push it above the upper channel boundary.
TraderXO said that the bottom likely doesn’t exist until this upper boundary is broken firmly above.
$BTC – Apparently they say the lows are in after a few weeks of consolidation…
Might want to zoom out a little, break the channel and reclaim 8k first. pic.twitter.com/0f2oTLx82T

He noted that ETH recently escaped the Fib 0.786 retracement of the price action from the 2018 bottom to the 2019 bottom, while the MACD has shown signs of reversal on a medium-term basis, good for the bulls.

Bitcoin Cash News
Bitcoin Cash has likely bottomed out. The current upturn could resume if the price breaks out of the trading range that has occurred for about 175 days.
Since July, BCH has started to consolidate and trade in the range of 0.026 to 0.033 BTC.
Crypto analyst Krillin stated that the price of BCH has begun to rise and a breakout of 0.03 sts will end the downtrend. He believes that a move above the 50 and 100-day moving average (MA) acts as a catalyst.
Breakout and retest of that line with MAs support was the trigger.

Bitcoin scammers threaten to disconnect the victim’s power supply
The customer of Toronto Hydro, one of Canada’s largest electricity companies, has been harassed with phishing calls. The crooks threaten to cut off the victim’s electricity supply unless the victim pays with Bitcoin for them.
Toronto Hydro warns its customers that they will never disconnect power and if they intend to do so, they will contact a customer through “multiple channels”.
Moreover, the company emphasized that they do not accept Bitcoin payments. Despite the fact that paying with cryptocurrency is easy to track, but it is often impossible to identify who is behind them, which makes cryptocurrencies particularly attractive to criminals.
