Ripple CEO Expects to See More ‘Consolidation’ in FinTech Industry in 2020

XRP gave the crypto community an unexpected gift when it rose by 10 percent on Tuesday. The third biggest cryptocurrency has been sluggish in its movement, barely keeping up with other top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC). But in what resembled a rush of adrenaline, XRP astonished crypto investors when it regained strength to take back the $0.244 level. This event is so remarkable because this is the first show of strength XRP has managed to achieve since November ending of 2019.

Now that XRP has bounced back, the questions everyone is asking include, for how long will its momentum continue and will it at least touch $0.30 before losing steam? Well, analysts believe that XRP has the potential to hit the $0.30 mark, which will be made easier to attain if it can break above the downtrend resistance.

Signs of Love between the Crypto and Fintech Industries?

The year 2020 has not even gone far and there is already a romance brewing between the crypto and fintech industries. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is persuaded that this is just the beginning for the two industries and that more consolidation is bound to happen as the year progresses.

Not surprising to see this kind of consolidation, and expect this will set the stage for more to come in 2020 – in fintech, crypto and beyond. https://t.co/SMVNxZd1br

Basing his conviction on the acquisition of Plaid, a payment startup, by Visa for the sum of $5.3 billion, Garlinghouse opined that 2020 will witness more fintech and crypto marriages. These talks by Garlinghouse has, however, made the Ripple and XRP community curious whether the CEO is hinting at some big projects the Ripple company plans to embark on.

Ripple, not long ago, finally joined the $10 billion club after completing its own $200 million Series C funding round. This funding is expected to help Ripple expand its ecosystem.

Visa Purchases a Fintech Company

One of the biggest payment solution companies in the world, Visa, recently officially announced its acquisition of fintech startup Plaid for $5.3 billion, an amount that supersedes its value of $2.65 billion. Visa’s relationship with Plaid dates back to the startup’s $250 million funding round, in which Visa and Mastercard made investments in the company.

The CEO of Visa, AI Kelly, explained that the purchase of Plaid is a strategic move to get Visa acquainted with the latest technology in the financial industry. The CEO went on to state that the company is ready to go beyond cards and with the takeover of the fintech company, Visa has been presented with a great opportunity to execute its vision.

Though it is too early to say whether 2020 will be a successful year for the fintech market, we can say that it will be definitely a very interesting one to observe. So, let’s wait and see what will be happening and whether it will have any influence on some particular companies, technologies and crypto projects.

Analysts Fear the Worst as Bitcoin Price Readies to See 20% Breakout

Over the past week, Bitcoin has found itself flatlining, establishing a tight range in the low-$7,000s as volume tapers off. This consolidation has forced the Bollinger Bands, a moving average-based technical analysis tool often used by traders looking for more information about trading ranges and volatility, for Bitcoin to reach extremely tight levels, implying that.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Could Three Times Be the Charm for This Resistance Level?

Bitcoin remains in its tightly coiled range as the market continues its sideways trend for the third week in a row. While macro support has been tested three times recently, we have yet to test the overhanging macro resistance:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe blue zone outlined above shows a very strong zone of support that, over the last few weeks, has seen three strong tests and has led to a slowly upward-drifting market consolidation.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: New High Paves Potential Reversal Setup

After days and days of consolidation, bitcoin finally managed to break a new high for the first time in almost two weeks. This new high, so far, has been short lived, however, as it was almost immediately sold into by eager bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, 4-Hour Candles, New HighOur current 4-hour candle is seeing a relatively easy retracement after days and days of an upward grind.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Keep an Eye Out for a Close Above the Current High

Shortly after falling from its test of the low $4,000s, bitcoin managed to find support in the mid $3,500s. This has proven to be a relevant level over the last few months, and finding support here would be a sign of relatively strong demand:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Local SupportThe high candle spread rejection following our test of the low $4,000s was an indication that we had strong levels of supply left in the market, but for the time being we are holding support.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Bullish Rejection Wipes Out Bitcoin’s Weekend Gains

Over the weekend, a strong rally was stifled by an even stronger rejection as the bitcoin market was shoved into a band of overhanging resistance. This band of resistance has been mentioned several times in our analyses over the last few weeks as it has proven impossible to overcome for the time being:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Failed BreakoutThis run to the low $4,000s coincided with a breakout of a rather large symmetrical triangle consolidation shown above.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Bullish Setups Could Break Current Market Structure

The cryptomarket remains coiled as we lead into the weekend with no new highs and no new lows being established for bitcoin. However, it is nicely consolidating on lower time frames and hints toward the possibility of another leg up:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Hourly Candles, Consolidating PennantThe pattern shown in Figure 1 outlines a potential continuation pattern called a “bullish pennant.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Consolidation Breaks Out Into Macro Resistance Test

Over the course of the last 10 days, bitcoin has managed to rally nearly 20% in value as it burst through two major resistance levels and is now beginning the test of a major macro level:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Macro ResistanceWe can see a clear, descending supply-and-demand channel that governed the market for the last two months.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Major Support Broken on Expanding Volume and Spread

After weeks of consolidation, bitcoin finally broke through support. The market now finds itself cruising toward prior lows. On expanding volume and spread, the bitcoin market appears ripe for a continuation of the downtrend:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Broken SupportAlthough the current daily candle has yet to close, unless there is a strong influx of demand hitting the market, it stands to reason that bitcoin will be closing a new daily low for the first time since mid-December.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Strong Move Likely Following Tightly Coiled Market

Days and days of sideways consolidation and tightening volume has been the name of the game for the bitcoin market. A narrow range of $200 has caused a weeks worth of activity to coil and consolidate in preparation for bitcoin’s next move:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe figure above shows just how narrow the range has been over the last week as the market has continued to grind out support and fail to break above overhanging resistance.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Range-Bound Market Coiled for Next Move

For the better part of a month and a half, bitcoin has been fairly range-bound and unable to establish new lows or new highs. There are some bullish and bearish setups on the horizon for bitcoin, so let’s check out both sides of the argument because currently the market is sitting in the middle of Indecisionville — the most immediate sign of which is this glaringly obvious head-and-shoulders bottom reversal pattern:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Head-and-Shoulders BottomThis current pattern is nothing more than a setup at the moment, but it represents one potential outcome of this sustained consolidation.

Ether Price Analysis: Historic Support Tested Amid Signs of Distribution

It’s been weeks since ether has seen a new high or a new low and the market has found itself range-bound. At the moment, we are seeing signs of distribution as large rounds of selling have remained present during key support tests:Figure 1: ETHUSD, 4 Hour Candles, Trading RangeSo far, for the last few weeks, ether has seen a trend of higher lows and low highs (the converging red trendlines).

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Potential Reaccumulation Could Test Bear Trend

Last week, after a devastating move that shook the market violently up and down for a 7% move in just a few short minutes, bitcoin saw a major sign of strength as it proceeded to have a slow, but steady markup where it managed to establish a local high in the $6,800s:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Hourly Candles, Shakeout Prior to MarkupThis shakeout forced the market to temporarily establish a new monthly low in what could be argued to be a stop-hunt prior to the move to the $6,800s.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: High Shorts Count Could Signal Price Hike

Once again, bitcoin finds itself precariously perched on the bottom of its macro trading range (TR). After a strong round of selling over the course of two weeks plunged the price back to the $6,000s, bitcoin began consolidating for several weeks at the bottom of the TR:Figure 1: BTC-USD, 1-Day Candles, Macro TRAs shown in the figure above, the market has interacted several times at the current price range and it has been a source of three major bullish rallies.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: New Low on Low Volume Breeds Potential Bullish Set-up

Bitcoin sits precariously perched at the bottom of the annual market low and many bitcoin investors aren’t sure what to make of it. Although the market seems to be continuing its drift to new lows with greater and greater ease, there are a couple of bullish signals worth considering while the market continues to consolidate: Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, New Market LowOn Friday, June 29, 2018, for the first time this year, the daily candles closed below the annual low of $6,000s.
