After Monday’s leap, Bitcoin moved down towards $6,500. As a result, on Thursday the currency pair BTC/USD hit $6,453.14, declining by 0.9% on the Kraken exchange.
However, some market experts pointed out that Bitcoin’s uncertainly might be coming to its end. To prove their words, they refer to the soaring number of transactions a second. They’re assured that it’s a 100% sign that the end of the flat cycle is over there.
As a matter of fact, transactions a second appears to be a gauge of the scalability of blockchain technology.
Some financial analysts are assured that the coming several weeks could appear to be a near-term pivotal point for many crypto assets. It can be explained by the fact that the vast majority of crypto assets have stayed in narrow consolidations for a long period, although many are actually testing crucial technical trading levels. So, if these levels are broken, it will undoubtedly provoke a dramatic response by market participants.
Experts added that the midcap, large-cap as well as small-cap indexes, which all of the firm tracks are pushing resistance, as well as a jump above the index peaks in September could provoke a run up.
