Cryptocurrencies price prediction: Bitcoin, Ripple & Ethereum Classic – European Wrap – 11 February

Bitcoin’s bullish trend is intact as long as it stays above $8,800

Bitcoin (BTC) is changing hands at $9,780, mostly unchanged in recent 24 hours. The first digital asset has been range-bound with bearish bias after the retreat below $10,000 on Monday. Currently, Bitcoin’s market capitalization is registered at $178.1 billion, which is 63.3% of the total market of digital assets.

Currently, over 82% of all Bitcoin addresses are in the green zone, which means that an overwhelming majority of holders are making money. While this positive long-term signal implies that Bitcoin is poised for further growth, the short-term technical setup looks bearish.
