It is followed by dash (Dash) that a few days ago unveiled a new partner network to offer faster transactions.

Path For Friend And Foe

The top of the cryptocurrencies of the week is completed with Monero (XMR), which made the news due to the interest of the United States Tax Service in finding a technology that allows them to track their transactions; and Stellar (XLM), which created a new site for virtual meetings and networking.

The price of bitcoin, on the other hand, rises a little and experiences a growth of around 0.6%. The cryptocurrency has continued to trade below the $ 11,000 barrier and even fell below $ 10,000 on September 7 and 5.

Weekly we remain between a path of friends and foes with the support of the EMA21W1 and as primary resistance the EMA9W1, who was the one that alerted many of the falling prices. We also continue, below the historical low trend line and very close to touching 0.61 Fibo.

Anyway, despite this drop, the bitcoin rally in August led to a record high in exchange derivatives volume.

The CryptoCompare report showed a growth in percentage volumes in both the spot market and bitcoin derivatives, of 49.6% and 53.6%, respectively.

Another source said that correlation between the S&P 500 and bitcoin crested near an all-time high earlier this week, according to new data from Coin Metrics.

The prices of other relevant cryptocurrencies on the market are also down during the week. Ripple’s XRP falls 2.4%, and Litecoin (LTC) depreciates 0.6%. Only Ethereum Classic (ETC) goes up a bit and gains 0.4%.
