BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.
Bitcoin (BTC) update
SponsoredAfter creating a hanging man candlestick the week prior, BTC created a small bullish candlestick this week.
Technical indicators are showing weakness. The MACD has created a lower momentum bar and the RSI is decreasing, nearly crossing below 70. The Stochastic oscillator is decreasing, but has yet to make a bearish cross.
Therefore, while these signals do not confirm a top, they are strong signs that the bullish trend might soon come to an end.

After making a 17% gain in the past 24 hours, XRP is trading for $0.69 with a market cap of $37.8 billion.
SponsoredChainlink (LINK) currently holds the #10 position with a $12.6 billion market cap. However, BitTorrent (BTT) is closing in fast and is less than $20 million away from kicking LINK out of the top ten.
