Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: Bitcoin's bullish trend picks up steam

  • Cryptocurrency market is moving in sync with equities.
  • Bitcoin has settled above the upper line of the recent range.
  • Ripple is still locked in a tight range despite the recovery.

The global stock markets have been recovering in Asian as the U.S. President Donald Trump soothed the nerves of the market by saying that U.S.-China trade pact was “fully intact”.

China trade deal is fully intact. Hopefully they will continue to live up to the terms of the agreement, he wrote on Twitter after confusing statements from White House trade adviser Peter Navarro over the fate of the deal.

Those comments triggered a text-book market reactions as equities staged a strong rally, while safe-haven assets like gold and US Dollar were sold-off. Bitcoin and other major assets moved in sync with the stock markets, gaining ground after a long period of sidelined trading. 

Bitcoin seems to be moving in sync with risky assets but its safe-haven status remains intact. Bitcoin holders regard the coin as a hedge against inflation, which is inevitable in the environment of massive central bank stimulus around the globe. While the stock markets may be detached from the reality and disoriented by hefty liquidity injections, Bitcoin stands ready to resume growth once the inflation rears its head.  

According to the recent Chainalysis report, over 60% of all Bitcoins in circulation are held by long-term investors, who believe that Bitcoin is digital gold. They never sold more that 25% of purchased coins.
