Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) push above resistance levels

Bitcoin continues its recent march higher, taking out resistance levels as it points towards $4000 and higher. As noted yesterday, resistance from both the downtrend line from the September 2 high of $4987 and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level failed to hold the move higher with the September 18/19 highs around $4120 the next upside target.

Alt-Coin NEO Surges on Chinese Chatter

NEO, a Chinese-based alt-coin, formerly known as antshares, jumped around 25% overnight after an article quoting NEO founder Da Hongfei hit the wires. The Dutch financial news outlet Het Financieele Dagbladwrote that Hongfei was consulted by Chinese authorities on the recent ICO ban, while also speculating on the possibility that NEO may play a part in the Chinese blockchain infrastructure. In August, NEO surged from around $10 to $60 in less than two weeks on talk of a potential Chinese tie-up, entering the top 5 crypto-currencies by market capitalization.
