MARKET SENTIMENT

Top 5 Winners

Top 5 Losers

Binance has recently published an official statement announcing the launch of the development of Binance Chain, probably why we're seeing some pumpage.

Technicals

We have daily TD9 on Ethereum, which tends to be a strong bullish indicator, and we do see selling pressure slowing down.

With that said, I would wait for buy volume to increase before confirming any moves.

Bitcoin

One of the causes of the market crash the past few days was a huge BTC sale by the Mt. Gox trustee, which "sold 35,841 BTC for $362 million and 34,008 BCH for$45 million".

We're still in a bearish downtrend. The next big zone to watch from a macro level is when we test this downtrend channel resistance.
