Today seemed to be a positive day for the three major indexes as they all closed in the green. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) went up 358.51 points (+1.51%) to close at 24,133.78. The NASDAQ Composite went up 95.64 points (+1.11%) to close at 8,730.16, and the S&P 500 went up 41.74 points (+1.47%) to close at 2,878.48. All these upswings were based on excitement by investors cheering at the possibility of reopening the economy after the coronavirus pandemic.
As for the news within the crypto world, some of U.Today’s major headlines include price predictions for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP, Bitfinex launching a social trading platform, and CZ Binance says that a man was hired to kill their reputation.
TOP 3 Price Predictions for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP
Bitcoin (BTC), which was trading between the $7,388-$7,610 range, ended with a continuation from a previous upswing. Right now, a key support level is $7,555. This is the upper limit of the previous trading and accumulation zone, as well as the volume profile.
Buyers were able to gain some positions, and for the moment, continued growth will continue between the$7,969-$8,200 levels. One event that may affect further growth of BTC is the upcoming halving as more and more people are searching for information on the Internet.
U.Today’s previous price prediction Ethereum (ETH) came true as the altcoin reached the $200 mark on some crypto exchanges. However, a correction phase has already begun as ETH lost 0.72% of its price in the last 24 hours.
ETH has formed a ‘wedge’ pattern, which confirms the end of the short-term rise. Furthermore, there is almost no liquidity at the current levels for buyers to push ETH’s rate higher. The most likely scenario is a drop to its $180 support level, followed by a drop to $160 and possibly below this price.
XRP is falling at a slower rate as compared to Ethereum. The rate for the third largest cryptocurrency has dropped 0.17% since yesterday. With a similar trading pattern to ETH, this confirms a price drop for XRP. There is also a bearish divergence pattern on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). In short, one might expect a decline towards $0.19 soon.

Vladislav SopovMan Hired to Kill CZ Binance’s Reputation
Changpeng Zhao, Founder and CEO of Binance, recently tweeted about meeting an individual that said it was his job to intentionally damage his reputation as a Bitcoin (BTC) bull. However, this individual, who worked at a Chinese crypto exchange, quit one day into the job. Zhao goes on to say that a whole team was hired to spread messages on social media.
Just interviewed someone who joined a Chinese exchange that views Binance as a competitor. He was put in a team whose only job is to spread the message “when CZ is bullish, bitcoin will drop”. ? He quit after a day.

And I am bullish all the time, never a bearish day. #BTC
Earlier, Zhao addressed his BTC price predictions that failed to come true. He also mentioned that some called his prediction as ‘counter signals’. However, Zhao has insisted that he will never be bearish on Bitcoin, and that his predictions have so far been accurate and inaccurate.
