Crypto Brief Nov.26: Bitcoin will sink below $ 7,000 or hit $ 10,000 plus Ethereum, Ripple, TRON, Chainlink, Ontology, EOS, Kucoin, USDC news
From predictions about the short-term direction of Bitcoin to whales moving large amounts of BTC, XRP, USDC. These are some of the prominent news in the crypto space.
Bitcoin News
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz feels dissatisfied when the Bitcoin price drops below $ 6,500. Although Bitcoin has risen more than 10% since that rapid decline, he said that bulls are still in danger unless they try to push the price above $ 7,500 over the next two days.
$BTC chart needs to recover 7500 in next two days or we will be in a 6k-7400 range which would be less than pleasant. $BTC still up 95% on the year to keep perspective, but man, I liked it better above 10k?.

If Bitcoin does not reach that modest goal, Novogratz believes that moving sideways in a difficult way in the $ 6,000-7,400 range will be even more frustrating. However, he prefers BTC better than $ 10,000, a level Bitcoin has not seen since China forged.
The $ 10,000 level is also the price that PlanB, the famous Twitter analyst with the stock-to-flow (S2F) chart, shows that BTC / USD can easily recover five numbers before 2020. He tweeted:
“Call me crazy, but it wouldn’t surprise me if BTC closes 2019 at $ 10k + .. opportunities like this (bitcoin below S2F model value, 6 months before the halving) are rare.”

That means Bitcoin must increase by 40% from the current level. This is practically at hand – last month, the second-largest daily jump of cryptocurrencies ever reached about 42%.
According to PlanB, Bitcoin’s past price track rate with more than 90 percent accuracy and shows BTC will reach $ 1,000,000 by 2025.
Bitcoin Ban Is “Success Metric” in China
Blockchain CEO Adam Back doesn’t seem surprised when China is intensifying its crackdown on Bitcoin and crypto. The veteran CEO claimed that Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, Google, and other major internet companies were banned in this communist country.
The ban issued in September 2016 could serve as a measure of success for the leading cryptocurrency since China realized its groundbreaking potential.
not sure what people expected, when China bans: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tumblr, Reddit, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Spotify, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Google (docs/search) etc. for internet things China blocking #Bitcoin is a success metric. https://t.co/v3cgSvJ3RA

In October, Chinese President Xi Jinping commented on blockchain as a breakthrough, which has had a positive impact on the crypto market. As a result, Bitcoin increased by more than 40% in a day and altcoins also recorded a two-digit percentage increase.
However, the excitement quickly faded away after China has clearly stated its stance against crypto. The country’s central bank advises people not to engage in crypto trading.
While the ban may be a good thing for Bitcoin, many believe that China holds great power that can affect Bitcoin. Bitspark co-founder Maxine Ryan told WSJ that it was the dominant force behind BTC price movements.

EOS News
EOS blockchain has been having a problem for almost a month now due to the EIDOS application. Since November 1, EIDOS has overloaded EOS’s main network, similar to the case of CryptoKitties on Ethereum.
Transactions that used to be free on EOS have now turned into a minimum stake of 100-EOS. Without stake, the transaction will not be made.
The betting dApp EarnBet allows users to make sports bets via stake in cryptocurrencies (EOS, BTC, LTC, etc.) currently unable to transact on the EOS network.
EarnBet dApp has asked the EOS Block Manufacturer (BP) to resolve the issue completely or the dApp will be the first to leave within 30 days.
“The current 21+ #EOS block producers need to begin governing with the best interests of the blockchain in mind. If these block producers are unable to institute a comprehensive fix in 30 days, we will be leaving the $EOS network.” – @EarnBetCasino https://t.co/ODBkyxSU0i

TransferGo is also exploring how it can use ODL to transfer money without having to hold money in bank accounts around the world in a process called funding.

MoneyNetint, a global payment platform, has won Ripple’s Best Connector Award for outstanding business development over the past year. The award will help strengthen the company’s position as a leader in cross-border payments and grow user base worldwide.
Although still a young company, UK-based MoneyNetint has established itself as a leader in the cross-border payment revolution.
Traditional international transactions have limited businesses operating around the globe and forced them to limit their customers to those within the borders of their country. And this is why MoneyNetint started creating a platform that will manage payments and monetary needs of businesses around the globe.
