Weekly Cryptocurrency Update (Nov 20-26): Top 5 Cryptocurrency Coins to Watch

Weekly Cryptocurrency, The BTC/USD coin extended its overnight modest bullish rally and received some new bids around the $60,000 level. Bitcoin’s price remained constant at or above $58,000. BTC began a new uptrend and was able to break through the $59,000 resistance level. A break above the $59,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average was also seen. The $60,000 resistance level, however, has not been tested so far. A high was made, and the price is presently correcting gains. If Bitcoin remains above the $57,500 support and the 100 hourly SMA, it may begin a new uptrend. On the upside, $59,000 serves as an early resistance level. The next major resistance is around $59,500. If the price closes above $59,000 and $59,500, it might drive the price past $60,000. The next significant resistance level is at $61,200.

However, the fresh upticks were mostly fueled by the crypto market’s risk-on mood, which tends to support Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, the positive comments about Bitcoin futures have had a good impact on BTC prices. On Wednesday, Mexican millionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego spoke about the US economy and bitcoin. He is the founder and chairman of Grupo Salinas, a conglomerate with holdings in telecommunications, media, finance, and retail. Investors should “purchase bitcoin right now,” according to Ricardo Salinas Pliego. He went on to say that the United States is “becoming increasingly like any other irresponsible third-world country.” He also added that he believes bitcoin has a bright future and will change the world.

On the other hand, Morgan Stanley’s (NYSE: MS) investment funds have extended their exposure to Bitcoin by purchasing shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. This news also contributed significantly to the rise in BTC prices.

ETH/USD is staying around $4500 at writing, as the coin is set to gain more bullish signs.

The market’s upward trend has prevented it from succumbing to yesterday’s selling activity below $4,000. Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading above its 9-day and 21-day moving averages.

The buying bias surrounding the world’s largest cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was considered a major factor in keeping ETH/USD values higher.
