The aforementioned article also reports that last year, the number of companies in this industry that had been liquidated amounted to 139, nearly two and a half times less than this year. Moreover, 60 percent of the companies dissolved this year ceased activity between June and November.

According to the reported data, more than 200 of the now-dissolved companies “were incorporated with Companies House during 2017.” This year, according to the article, newly-registered crypto companies were growing slower than the number of dissolved businesses for the first time.

The data upon which Sky News reportedly based its article has been gathered from OpenCorporates, a website sharing data on corporate entities, and Companies House, the U.K.’s registrar of companies.

The current downward crypto market movement in 2018 has taken its toll on some of the biggest companies in the space as well.

Chinese crypto mining giant Bitmain reportedly closed its Israeli development center in mid-December, laying off 23 employees.

And ConsenSys, a global community made to create and promote blockchain infrastructure and decentralized applications (DApps) closely tied to the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem, has laid off a substantial portion of its employees.

As Cointelegraph recently reported, the number of employees to be laid off could be anywhere between 50 and 60 percent of the total company’s workforce.

However, Joseph Lubin, the co-founder of Ethereum project and founder of Consensys, has pointed out that the company “remains healthy and is engaging in a rebalancing of priorities and activities which started about nine months ago.”

Also, as pointed out by a recent Cointelegraph analysis — even after the recent slump — a LinkedIn study has down blockchain developers are in high demand on the platform, becoming one of the fastest-growing emerging jobs in the United States.

Christmas has brought some cheer to the crypto traders. The total crypto market capitalization has spiked by about 29 percent from just under $101 billion on Dec. 15 to $143 billion on Christmas Eve.

Though it is still way below its all-time-high, the growth over the past few days is showing signs of a bottom formation. In a recent tweet, co-founder of Ethereum, Joseph Lubin, has called a cryptobottom of 2018.

The current bounce can only continue until a certain level, after which the market participants will wait for the fundamental factors to improve.

One of the most closely watched metrics is the level of institutional interest in the industry. Though a number of big names have expressed their interest, not much has happened on the ground.

The markets are pinning their hopes on new product offerings, clarity in regulations and a bottom in cryptocurrencies to attract the larger players in 2019. Any evidence of a major player entering the markets will act as a strong catalyst for an upward move in digital currencies.

Should the traders hold their positions after the recent upswing or should they book profits? Let’s find out.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin is currently facing resistance at $4,255. However, the positive thing is that it has held above the 20-day EMA since breaking out of it.

A break out of $4,255 can result in a move to $4,500. The falling 50-day SMA is also located just above this level, so we anticipate the bulls to offer a strong defense of this level.

We recommend short-term traders to book profits on more than 75 percent of their positions closer to $4,500, and trail the remaining allocation with a close stop loss. If the bulls break out of the 50-day SMA, the rally can extend to $4,914.11. Nonetheless, we give it a low probability of occurring.

The next move down will find strong support at the 20-day EMA and below it at $3,787.33. A breach of this zone will weaken the recovery and increase the probability of a retest of the lows.

The long-term trend on the BTC/USD pair is still down, but the short-term trend has changed. If the next dip stays above $3,787.33, and the next move up forms a higher high, we can confirm that the Dec. 15 low was the bottom. The next few days are going to be critical for the leading cryptocurrency.

XRP/USD

Ripple has broken out of the $0.4 level, which is a bullish sign. It can now reach the resistance line of the descending channel, which is likely to act as a stiff resistance.

The 20-day EMA has turned up and the 50-day SMA has flattened out. The RSI has also risen close to the overbought levels. This shows that the trend is reversing, and the bottom at $0.24508 is unlikely to be breached.

On the upside, the XRP/USD pair might face a roadblock closer to $0.5 where the traders can book partial profits and raise the stops on the remaining position. A break out of this can extend the rally to $0.565 and then to $0.625. Therefore, we are not suggesting to close the entire positions at $0.5. Our bullish view will be invalidated if the price reverses direction and plunges below the 20-day EMA.

ETH/USD

Ethereum has broken above $136.12 with ease and is close to the major overhead resistance of $167.32. Traders who have booked profits at $136.12 can close the remaining positions near $167.32. We anticipate a pullback or a consolidation at this level. Conversely, if the digital currency breaks out of $167.32, it can rise to $211.

The 20-day EMA has turned up and the 50-day SMA is flattening out. The RSI has risen from deeply oversold to overbought levels. This shows that the short-term trend has changed.

If the next dip finds support at one of the moving averages, it will confirm a bottom at $83. We expect the ETH/USD pair to spend some time in a range before starting a new uptrend.

BCH/USD

Bitcoin Cash has been consolidating near the swing highs for the past three days. The bears have not been able to push the price down, which shows that the bulls are in no urgency to book profits and are buying every minor dip.

If the price stays above the 20-day EMA for the next 2–3 days, we anticipate another attempt to break out of the 50-day SMA. If successful, the pullback can extend to $307.01, which is the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline. The traders should continue to trail their stops higher.

On the other hand, if the BCH/USD pair turns down from the 50-day SMA, it might find support at the 20-day EMA. Any break of the moving averages will disrupt the upside momentum and result in a range bound action for a few weeks. The downtrend will resume if the bears sink the pair below $73.5.

EOS/USD

EOS is attempting to break out of the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement level of $3.0510. Overhead, we anticipate a strong resistance at the 50-day SMA and at $3.8723.

If these two levels are scaled, the recovery can extend to the next major resistance at $4.493. We expect the $3.8723–$4.493 zone to act as a major hurdle.

The next leg down is likely to find support at the 20-day EMA. Any break of this support can result in consolidation for a few days. The EOS/USD pair will resume its downtrend if it plunges below $1.55.

XLM/USD

Stellar has broken out of the 20-day EMA and $0.13427050. This is a bullish sign that opens the gate for a move to the 50-day SMA and $0.184.

The 20-day EMA has flattened out and the RSI has risen into the positive zone, which shows that demand has overtaken supply in the short-term. However, the 50-day SMA is sloping down. It implies that the long-term trend is still down.

The pair remains an underperformer, so we do not advise any trades in it. The recovery will weaken if XLM/USD slides below $0.11196656.

LTC/USD

Litecoin has reached the overhead resistance of $36.428, as we had anticipated. We expect the bears to pose a stiff challenge at this level. If successful, the price can dip back to the 20-day EMA.

However, if the bulls pierce through the overhead resistance, the LTC/USD pair can extend the recovery to $47.246. Therefore, traders can trail their stops on the remaining positions.

The 20-day EMA has turned up and the RSI has jumped into the positive territory. This suggests an advantage for the bulls in the near term. We expect $23.1 to be the bottom as long as the price sustains above $29.349.

BSV/USD

Bitcoin SV is range bound between $80.352 and $123.98. The attempt to break out of the range failed on Dec. 20 and 21. Nevertheless, the bulls have held the price above $100 for the past three days, which shows buying on every small dip.

We anticipate another attempt to break out of the range within the next 3–4 of days. If the breakout sustains, the recovery can extend to $167.608. While the traders holding partial positions can ride the move higher, fresh positions can also be initiated on a close above $123.98 with a stop loss not far behind.

On the other hand, if the bears defend $123.98 on a closing (UTC time frame) basis, the BSV/USD pair might remain range bound for the next few days. We might suggest long positions once again if the price bounces off $80.352. The trend will weaken if the bears push the price below $65.031.

TRX/USD

TRON is not giving up ground, which indicates sustained buying by the bulls. The moving averages are on the verge of completing a bullish crossover, which denotes a trend change. If the bulls scale $0.025, the next move higher is likely to reach the overhead resistance of $0.02815521.

The TRX/USD pair has turned down three times from $0.02815521, so we expect a strong defense of this level by the bears. The RSI in the overbought zone shows that a pullback is around the corner.

We anticipate the cryptocurrency to consolidate in the range of $0.0183–$0.02815521 for the next few weeks. A break out of this range will start a new uptrend. We might propose long positions if the next dip holds above $0.0183 or the 20-day EMA. Our view of a trend change will be invalidated if the pair breaks down of the moving averages.

ADA/USD

Cardano is attempting to break out of the 50-day SMA and rise to the next overhead resistance at $0.060105. Traders who have about 50 percent of their positions left can either book the rest of the profits at this level or trail the stops very closely.

The 20-day EMA has turned up while the RSI has risen from the oversold zone to the overbought zone. This shows that the bulls have the upper hand in the short-term. However, the 50-day SMA is still sloping down, which means that the long-term trend is still down.

We anticipate another leg down, so the recommendation is to book complete profits close to $0.060105. Traders can re-enter on dips. Any correction is likely to find support at the 20-day EMA and below that at $0.033065. Our bullish view will be invalidated if the ADA/USD pair breaks below the Dec. 7 low.

Dependence Sector (RIL) is currently intending to increase as well as change its electronic trip by accepting using blockchain innovation. The firm has actually gotten a 5.56% equity risk in blockchain start-up VAKT Holdings Ltd, UK (VHL) for $5 million or around Rs 35 crore.

VAKT is a consortium of 9 leading international power business as well as financial institutions dedicated to accepting blockchain innovation as well as interacting to establish remedies to olden issues dealt with by markets. According to the company, it intends to change complete profession life-cycle as well as via blockchain, it guarantees to get rid of settlement as well as paper-based procedures, improve effectiveness as well as develop brand-new profession money possibilities.

Dependence in a governing declaring claimed:

” The calculated financial investment speeds up Dependence’s electronic trip, via energetic engagement in an arising as well as progressing, yet appealing, blockchain allowed innovation option for power markets.”

This is Dependence very first financial investment in a blockchain-based innovation company as well as is spending greatly in the field.

Adhering to year is conditioning to be a big year for blockchain as well as additionally cryptocurrency as well as additionally will absolutely see the launch of a variety of considerable industrial systems that offer either spread journals solutions or cryptocurrencies.

Bakkt is a prominent project that will absolutely offer the straightforward capacity to authorize Bitcoin to a wide variety of companies while similarly providing futures arrangements with physical delivery. It presents in really early2019

What was unpredicted, nevertheless, was for Comcast to launch a blockchain project easily in 2019.

Comcast presented the relocate a Dec. 21 press release. It is currently teaming up with Viacom as well as additionally Array Reach to end up the system that means to be “The Recognition Layer” for TV target audience. A great deal extra companies will absolutely rapidly be consisted of in the offering.

What is Blockgraph as well as additionally what is its goal?

Blockgraph at its base layer is peer to peer software program application that enables media companies better use client info at variety while still guarding the client’s info. To do this, Blockgraph makes it feasible for blind fits with specific info.

By using protection treatments more than likely similar to “No Comprehending Evidence,” a technique created in 1985 by cryptographers as well as additionally made chosen by the Z-Cash( ZCASH) treatment. The Blockgraph protection treatment allows media companies to match advertisements right to client info without in the past seeing or having right access to certain client info.

This is made it possible for by means of the Blockgraph software program application, which right matches the encrypted end results of info, not the info itself. The software program application similarly consists of a recognition layer that allows each client’s info to stay on its really own system, a feature that appreciates the digital self-sovereignty led by Bitcoin as well as additionally different other cryptocurrency work.

On The Surface, Blockgraph is a fascinating application of ideas advertised by cryptocurrency as well as additionally blockchain work. Making use of encrypted blockchain systems to deal with individual privacy is not a new suggestion. Jobs like Conventional Passion Sign (BAT) as well as additionally others have really been going over similar techniques, nonetheless this is the really very first time a company like Comcast has really positioned its weight behind a system with these ideas.

Unfortunately, there is still an elephant in the location. Is Blockgraph a truly decentralized treatment? We do not currently have each of the info on simply exactly how Blockgraph will truly be used, as well as additionally this leaves vital questions unanswered.

David Kline, executive vice-president as well as additionally president of Array Reach, mentioned:

Comcast has really acquired establishing the Blockgraph contemporary innovation, nonetheless we do not want this to remain specifically a Comcast-led project. We rate the entire TV market to sign up with Blockgraph to make sure that it happens a genuine market venture,” mentioned Marcien Jenckes, President, Comcast Cable Advertising. “When scaled, non-personably well-known info shows up to all, the focus transfers to what a business has the capacity to make keeping that info as well as additionally simply exactly how it can be used to drive outcomes. Our group think that when proceeded info capabilities are combined with TV as well as additionally sets you back video’s understanding as well as additionally communication advantages, end results will absolutely be testing to beat.

Based upon these statements, the natural assumption is that Blockgraph will absolutely be used as a consortium blockchain. This suggests that each of the companies connected with the system will absolutely be connected with managing the nodes that make up the network. This generates a system that is a lot more decentralized that where Comcast manages the whole factor, nonetheless it still supplies various concerns.

A consortium blockchain can be endangered if enough occasions conspire, as well as additionally if each of those occasions are individuals of the specific very same market, the opportunity of collusion increases as a result of the typical inspirations. It remains to be seen if the Blockgraph treatment can be decentralized enough to protect the client or if it will absolutely offer extreme effect to the occasions that protect the network.

Without a lot more information on the technical demands, we can simply think. It is hard to truly anticipate the risks as well as additionally influence that network nodes might have or if Blockgraph additionally trusts a consortium of nodes.

It is important to remember that the well worth of blockchain stems from welcoming a new technique to network management. Blockchains that are not decentralized are merely shared information resources as well as additionally do not offer considerable benefits. To truly execute a decentralized blockchain solution suggests eliminating the capacity of one entity or a group of them to take care of the system.

At press time, bitcoin is up more than $100 on the day, having climbed to $4,128, up from $4,007 at the start of the day’s trading. However, traders could have a pathway for moving the price to a key Fibonacci extension at $4,441, which would further bolster the move above $4,000 on Dec. 20.

4-hour chart

In drawing attention to the 4-hour chart we see how the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Chaikin Oscillator (CO) turned bullish yesterday at 22:00 UTC, signaling a possible confirmation of bitcoin’s recent move back above $4,000.
Price action briefly halted along the primary Fibonacci extension point at around $4,159 before continuing a slow incline according to CoinBase data and has been presented with an opportunity to continue its momentum to $4,440, post-consolidation.
Volume for the period has also shot up substantially, with the move being backed by the largest injection since Dec. 20.
Evidence of the move can also be found on the weekly chart, where the price of bitcoin has risen above the Nov. 26 closing price at $4,103, emboldening the bulls to push higher on the week as the new session begins today.
The last crypto Christmas was marred by a continual sell-off, exemplified by bitcoin’s breakdown from $16,490 to $12,500 by Dec. 25 (after running up to an all-time high of $19,891 on Dec.17).
But the weekly has demonstrated a potential turnaround, with a large bullish candle accompanied by growing volume.

Here’s what we see ahead:

• Bitcoin has pushed above an ascending triangle breakout (continuation pattern) to the primary Fibonacci extension line, with accompanying volume.
• The 4-hour chart has turned bullish on the CMF and OC and needs to clock higher highs in order to see a continuation in bullish price action.
• Likely to consolidate before pushing to $4,440 as traders engage in a short-term sell-off.
• The weekly chart shows a recovery bounce by the bulls has tipped the scales and we may be looking at a reversal of the primary bearish trend.
• A break below $3,650 (Dec. 20 major swing low-swing high) would invalidate the bullish bias.
