Bitcoin Surpasses $9,400 As Bullish Sentiment Wins Out

Bitcoin prices rose above $9,400 today, pushing higher as the market benefits from the return of positive sentiment.

The world's largest digital currency by market value reached $9,407.81, according to the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index (BPI).

At this price, Bitcoin was up 46% from the recent low of $6,443.20 on April 1 and at its highest in more than a month, additional BPI figures show.

'A Positive Shift'

"Bitcoin's spot price has definitely seen a positive shift in sentiment and momentum over the past week," said Joe DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency fund of hedge funds BitBull Capital.


"Some big players have recently entered the space, and many of the circumstantial barriers that were feeding the bears appear to have lifted," he added.

"All indications show this should be the start of a nice, steady climb."

Widespread Confidence

While Bitcoin prices have risen lately, they have not been alone in this respect.

At the time of this report, 24 of the top 25 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization (market cap) were up over the last 24 hours, CoinMarketCap data reveals.

The digital currency markets are benefiting from widespread confidence, stated Matthew Newton, Analyst at social trading platform eToro.

Crypto 'Here To Stay'

"The bulls are back in charge," said Jeff Koyen, CEO of 360 Blockchain USA.

He elaborated on this statement, speaking to the current state of digital currencies.

"Some of the credit goes to big names like Soros and Rockefeller stepping into the ring, but it's bigger than that."

"As I predicted a few months ago, the Q1 downturn was the perfect opportunity for crypto to take a deep breath and look in the mirror," he mused.

However, "Bitcoin will not reach $20,000 again without a certain amount of regulation and sobriety," he stated, emphasizing that regulatory frameworks surrounding digital currencies could still benefit from substantial improvement.

"Cryptocurrency is here to stay," said Koyen, emphasizing that it is "time for regulations to catch up."

Bitcoin Cash has been on a tear here lately. It will be interesting to see how those 2 currencies co-exist in the coming months,years.

I think alot of Litecoin holders were spooked when Charlie Lee sold a bunch of his Litecoin but it has rebounded nicely, no question about it.

Btrash is a scam and big pump and dump.But it is running like crazy now,wonder if it will hit 5k again.Yeah Charlie lee selling did cause a big hit and if he didn’t sell I think ltc would be around 1000 easy.It is the most undervalued coin in existence.Faster than bitcoin,cheaper than bitcoin,just not the bitcoin name.It should easily be 1/4 bitcoin like everyone says and it will be soon.Bitcoin cash will eventually be realized for what it is and that is a quick buck,while ltc will be realized as the fastest cheapest transacting currency imo.

I haven't really followed the Bitcoin Cash situation too closely but I read they recently put together some sort of big network and the price shot up pretty soon afterwards?

Litecoin huh? I might have to look into that one.

The market is still largely coupled to Bitcoin for the time being though.

If it can push past 10k I think we can see a big time bull run for ALL the major alt coins as well.

i was given a tip to buy ripple this summer  august maybe?


 i never acted on it, was going to buy in april 2018 i told myself in august, ripple was 15-18 cents forever. i wanted to wait till after my taxes were done which were semi complicated and i missed out

also in aug 2017  you couldnt buy it with a credit card, you had to buy bitcoin then transfer around

my goal was to buy $3k to $4k of it.... my brother and i lost our shit when it hit $4.00 area in Dec/Jan

i never would have sold it at $4.00 either. i would have seen it go way up then way down. still a nice gain but i would have bought and hold.

i did try to buy some around $2.50-$3.00 and my credit card declined the offer  -thank god

Newsflash: Ethereum Price Bursts Through $800 as Bulls Maintain Momentum



The ethereum price cracked the $800 mark on Friday, as the market shook off impending regulatory concerns to reach its highest point since early March.

The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency entered the month below $650 but has gone on a tear in the three days since. That rally continued this morning, and the ethereum price broached $800 on Bitfinex shortly before 12:00 UTC.

At the time of writing, ETH was trading slightly below that mark at $799 and boasted a circulating market cap of $79.3 billion.

The rally came on the heels of bullish sentiment from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who is also a founding partner of VC firm Initialized Capital. Ohanian predicted that the ethereum price will reach $1,500 before the end of the year, though his comments attracted even more headlines due to the fact that he initially misspoke and said $15,000.

Notably, this price movement appears to indicate that traders and investors are not concerned by reports that US regulators will meet on Monday to discuss whether ethereum and certain other large cryptocurrencies are securities under federal law.

Don't buy with a CC lol! The fees are crazy. I bought Ripple at 25 cents, then sold it at 50 cents and ended up buying back in at around just under $1. I since held on to it and never sold at the peak of $4 and saw it all go down the shitter recently. But I held it all and let's see where it goes. Also never sold any of the IOTA I had and actually picked up more of it a few months ago. Have a few Ethereum also but might cash out some if it hits $1500. I read some crazy predictions for Ethereum at $6000 in 2018 but that was when ETH was at $1500 in the beginning of the year. Obviously ETH at $6000 would be awesome but future regulations might slow that target down a bit.
