Ethereum Price: $160 Bottom or Will Arthur Hayes Drive Prices Down Further?
The Ethereum price has had a rough 2018 so far. Unfortunately for speculators and enthusiasts, it seems the worst has yet to come in this regard. With the Ethereum price now falling below $ 170, it seems to be a matter of time until $ 150 and potentially lower is reached. This is not necessarily the best outcome for the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Ethereum Price Struggle Intensifies
Today will be another tough day for Ethereum enthusiasts. The value of their preferred cryptocurrency is getting battered once again, courtesy of another 12% drop in the past 24 hours. Compared to Bitcoin’s downtrend, things are certainly heading in the wrong direction for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. There is no improvement in sight, and things may even get worse as more time progresses.
Bitcoin (BTC) Falls Back To Trend Line But Will It Fall Further?
Chart for BTC/USD (1W)
Bitcoin (BTC) has not had a fall this aggressive since June 2018. Yesterday, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) nosedived in a matter of hours on what seems to be insignificant news. Apparently, the cause of this dump was Goldman Sach’s announcement that it is scraping off its crypto trading desk for now. The market reaction to this is completely unreasonable given the fact that it is nothing out of the ordinary for a financial institution to pull away resources from a market with low trading volume.

Bitcoin (BTC) Begins The Week In Red But There Isn’t Much Room For Further Downside
Bitcoin (BTC) is an uptrend as the price seems to have entered a new ascending channel that can be seen on the 4H chart for BTC/USD above.

However, the price seems to have lost the bullish momentum that kicked in soon as Bitcoin (BTC) closed last month above 21 EMA on the monthly time frame.
Ripple (XRP) Breaks Below 5 EMA Again, Price Likely To Fall Further
Ripple (XRP) is not at a good point, for now. The price has once again broken below the 5 EMA and is now likely to fall further. The 4H chart above for XRP/XBT shows that during the past few months, every time the price of Ripple (XRP) has fallen below the 5 EMA, it was followed by a 26% correction. The first time this happened was in July when one red candle that closed below the 5 EMA on the 4H timeframe was followed by a series of red candles till the price had a 26% correction.
Why Bitcoin (BTC) May Fall Further But Altcoin Rally Is Just Getting Started
Bitcoin (BTC) has been through an extensive correction but it is not out of the woods yet. There are still plenty of analysts calling for a $ 3,000 bottom. In normal circumstances, the chances of that happening are negligible. If things remain as they are, there is no reason Bitcoin (BTC) might fall below $ 5,000. However, as we have seen in the past, it does not take much for things to change in this market.
