The selling pressure here has been intense, but it has yet to catalyze any type of intense selloff throughout the past few days. This seems to point to immense underlying strength amongst buyers and may indicate that near-term upside is imminent. If bulls can break above this level, they…

Bitcoin’s Retrace Could Inject Fuel into the Altcoin Market, Igniting a Rally
Bitcoin is currently in the process of retracing following a rejection at highs of $14,100 that were set this past week. Although bulls had found stability around $13,800 following the rally to these highs, they have not been able to guard against massive inflows of selling pressure that has come about throughout the past few hours. This selling pressure has been quite significant and may continue mounting if the crypto cannot post a strong defense of the lower-$13,000 region. One analyst is now noting that November could be the month…
