Bitcoin and a few altcoins have broken above key resistance levels, which suggests that the bulls are attempting to take control of the market.

This means in less than a year the firm has amassed 38,250 Bitcoin. This is a defining moment as MicroStrategy becomes the first public company to adopt a Bitcoin standard.  Other large companies may follow in MicroStrategy’s footsteps but they are likely to purchase at…

A dead cat bounce from Bitcoin and altcoins’ critical support levels may attract further selling that could result in lower levels over the next few days. The Nasdaq, S&P500 and Dow all corrected sharply on Sep. 3 and opened today with additional downside, suggesting that traders are rushing to the exit.
