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.

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.

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.
