Trader Who Nailed 84% Crypto Crash Sees Path for Bitcoin, Plus Ripple and XRP, Tron, Ethereum, Stellar, Cardano, Waves: Crypto News Flash
From the future price of Bitcoin according to a trader who nailed this year’s crypto crash, to a recap on Ripple and XRP, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of blockchain.
Bitcoin
A veteran technical trader who called Bitcoin’s big drop in 2018 says he sees less volatility for BTC in the near future.

Peter Brandt told Yahoo! Finance the price of Bitcoin could hit $4,600 before retesting the key psychological level of $3,000 early next year.
Brandt says this year’s dramatic decline was predictable from a technical perspective. But at this point, he says anything is possible in 2019, from a drop to $1,200 to a bull run that sees Bitcoin returning to its all-time highs.
