π 2017: The Year Crypto Became a New Asset Class
2017 has been a watershed year for crypto assets.
The combined market cap rocketed from $15 billion in January to over $600 billion by year's end. And in doing so, crypto assets crossed another kind of threshold, transforming from something easily dismissed to something hard to ignore.
The multiple-thousand percent price appreciation has been accompanied by trade volumes well over $1 billion since May, continued low correlations to other assets and sharpe ratios that compare favorably despite high volatility. Unsurprisingly, this is now attracting the interest of new market participants, retail and institutional alike.

BTC Trading by @cryptopassion
Yesterday I was saying you that the correction is perhaps finished.
It is not yet validated but not invalidated neither :
To validate the stop of the correction, we need first to break the downtrend line that I traced you in orange.
After the break of this line, a little correction is expected but we should go test the 1st resistance line of the trading canal.
Let's see how many times we will take for reach these objectives. It is the New-Year Eve, so I don't expect so much volume today but we never know.
