XRP/USD bounced from the daily 100-EMA but remains far weaker than the rest at $0.254 and struggling after the daily 12-EMA and the 26-EMA crossed bearishly.
Chart of the day: OMG/USD 4-hour chart
Market
The Dow Jones had a weak open diving 600 points after the U.S. jobs report. Similarly, Nasdaq had a 4% sell off. Other companies also plunged today, Apple lost 7%. Bitcoin and the entire market followed the steps of the U.S. stock market by first plummeting below $10,000 and then recovering quite decently.
Nonetheless, BitMEX came up with a notable announcement listing LINK and Tezos in its futures markets. Neither of the coins saw any effect in their price after the announcement.

Quote of the day
I love seeing new services constantly starting to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin is really becoming “the currency of the Internet.” I’m most concerned by possible government reactions to Bitcoin. They can’t destroy Bitcoin, but they could really slow things down by making exchange much more difficult.
