• In addition to Microsoft, Twitter has now also expressed interest in purchasing the US portion of TikTok.
• The news about Brexit had a negative effect, where we are starting to talk about hard form again.
• Tensions between the United States and China are rising after the United States threatened to blacklist SMIC, China’s leader in chip production.
• Investor sentiment could also be negatively affected by new reports of a relatively strong increase in the number of new infections on a global scale.

BTC/USD

While the stock market is closed today, recognizing Labor Day, the crypto market is bleeding. Much like last week, Bitcoin dropped below $10,000 to as low as $9,880 on Bitstamp, albeit briefly. The ‘real’ trading volume meanwhile remains weak at just $1.4 billion. Last 3 week, before crashing, BTC price jumped to a new 2020 high 12 400 USD.

support: $9 950, resistance: $10 600

LTC/USD 

Litecoin (LTC) is currently trading at around $48 after a 25,43% drop in price since last week. A serious summer downtrend send LTC to around $48 from $68. At the moment, LTC seems to be in bad shape after a massive drop from $68. High in year 2020 is around $84,52. 

support: $44,04, resistance: $54,26 and next continue $61,63 

ETH/USD

The second-largest cryptocurrency lost nearly 35% of its value last week to drop to $320. Currently, ETH/USD is around $335. Very low $300s is a real possibility going forward. $290 would be perfect. Last week, before crashing, ETH price jumped to a new 2020 high of $ 389. 

support: $312, resistance: $380 

DeFi

DeFi – bull run, possible bubble. A crash in Ether prices is not good news for altcoins, especially DeFi tokens.
