    Bitcoin Consolidates Before Next Move: Augur Leading DeFi With 20% Surge (Market Watch)

    Author: Jordan Lyanchev

    Last Updated Dec 19, 2020 @ 10:50

    Bitcoin price is trading safely, mostly around $23K, preparing for its next big move. August (REP), the prediction platform, is up 20% after recording 60% gains earlier today

    Bitcoin’s highly-volatile days continued with wild moves of almost $1,000 that took it from $23,300 to $22,400 and vice versa. Most large-cap altcoins have remained relatively calm, with Ethereum trading mostly around $650. Binance Coin, though, has increased by 5% and finally trading above $30.

    Bitcoin’s Price Sideways Action

    As reported recently, bitcoin initiated a massive bull-run following consolidation around $19,000 for a few days that resulted in breaking into uncharted territory above $20,000.

    The primary cryptocurrency doubled-down on its bullish week and continued towards a new all-time high of nearly $24,000 on Thursday.

    The high fluctuations continued in the past 24 hours as well. BTC traded around $23,300 before the bears took control and drove it down to an intraday low of beneath $22,400.

    However, bitcoin refused to stay there and recovered all losses in the following hours. Nevertheless, the asset has slumped slightly since then and currently trades below $23,000.

    From a technical perspective, BTC’s next resistance lines are situated at round psychological levels – $23,000, $24,000, and $25,000. In contrast, the support lines at $22,250, $21,400, and $20,700 could assist in case of a price breakdown.

    BNB Breaks Above $30: Augur Soars 20%

    The alternative coins followed bitcoin’s impressive run during the week and some marked yearly records. Ethereum charted $675, and despite retracing slightly, trading safely above $650.

    Ripple has dipped below $0.60 after a 3% decrease in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin Cash, Chainlink, and Cardano have remained essentially stagnant since yesterday. Litecoin pumped to a YTD record of $112 before losing some steam to $107.

    Binance Coin has gained the most from the top ten with a 5% surge. As a result, BNB has jumped to $32.

    The first ERC-20 prediction platform is up 20% over the past 24 hours, followed by a huge amount of volume – $200 million according to CoinMarketCap. Earlier today, Augur reached over $26, which represented a surge of over 60%.
