Hot Heal Care Stocks To Buy For 2019

tags:TWOU,V,ABG,

Bellwether cryptocurrency bitcoin (BTC) closed trading Thursday at less than $6,000 for the first time since mid-November of last year. Bitcoin traded at just about $5,800 at its low point and has since risen back to just under $5,900.

While some traders see the dip as a buying opportunity, the recent top is just over $5,900, and the price is headed in the wrong direction for crypto bulls.

Bitcoin was not alone. Over the past 24 hours, ethereum (ETH) is down just over 5%, Ripple (XRT) is down 5.4% and bitcoin cash (BCH) is down about 5.3%. Of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, only one, tether (USDT), is trading higher. Tether is a so-called stablecoin the issuer claims is backed by a one-for-one dollar reserve.

Whether one is a crypto coin bull or a bear, one thing should be clear. Crypto investors appetite for risk has dropped along with the value of the coins and tokens on offer. Bitcoin once traded near $18,000, for example.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Matthew Cochrane]

  After reading through the company's conference call, the one thing that stood out the most is how many doors the acquisition of Vocalink seems to be opening for the company.
