From a big Bitcoin prediction to the popularity of EOS, Tron and Ethereum, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
A veteran technical trader who accurately predicted the crash of Bitcoin in January of 2018 has turned bullish, and now says BTC looks like it may be gearing up for a new parabolic bull run.
According to a viral tweet from Peter Brandt, Bitcoin’s chart appears to be rhyming with its pattern from 2014 to 2015, before the start of BTC’s eventual rise to nearly $20,000.
Either from Dec '18 low or from retest of same (circa analog dbl bottom in 2015) it would not surprise me if $BTC enters a new parabolic phase. $btcusd pic.twitter.com/XV89Qz7P4n

In the short term, Brant says BTC could form a double bottom by revisiting its low of $3,122 from December of last year.
