πŸ—ž Square Wins Patent for Crypto Payment Network

πŸ—ž Bitcoin Price Loses 10% In August But Long-Term Bottom May Be In

Bitcoin (BTC) is all set to end August with double digit-losses, but a closer look at the price action suggest better times lie ahead for the leading cryptocurrency.

At time of writing, BTC is trading at $6,940 – down 10.7 percent from the month's opening price of $7,727, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index. However, losses would have been much bigger had prices not recovered from the six-week lows below $5,900 seen on Aug. 14.

Indeed, the bitcoin market has witnessed a solid two-way business this month.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

As you can see, the red suport line (diagonal line) is currently holding the correction that we have on the STEEM. This line must continue to do its job if we want to keep the UP trend of the last days. If we break it, I'm really afraid that we will do new lows on the STEEM so let's be positive and keep an eye on that resistance line in orange at 1$ that we must break to continue the UP.
