DigiByte, STEEM, XRP Price Analysis: 17 August

Market trends in the crypto-industry seemed to point to a lack of correlation as many of its altcoins courted individuality on the charts. After Ethereum’s recent pullback and Bitcoin’s re-test of the range at $11,900, XRP was able to sustain testing at $0.30 as well. On the contrary, Digibyte had better success over the past 24-hours and STEEM noted some price recovery in the market too.

Finally, the 37th-ranked Digibyte continued to sustain a steady rally upwards while registering strong returns of 4.24 percent on the charts. However, its trading volume of $19.74 million over the last 24-hours was weak, with DGB having a market cap of just under $500 million.

With the resistance at $0.037, the possibility of a retracement was lurking around the crypto-asset’s indicators, at the time of writing. The MACD appeared bullish, but the Signal line was rapidly closing in on a reversal. Further, the Awesome Oscillator also pointed to a shift in momentum towards the bears as the red candles filled up the charts.

In the meantime, the Parabolic SAR continued to maintain a bullish picture. This, however, was likely to be short-lived, as per the other indicators.
