As on the 31st December 2017, the Bitcoin price is ranging at approximately 13,000 USD.  On the other hand, Ethereum price is at approximately 740 USD on the same day.

The market cap of BTC now stands at USD 235 billion on USD 6.46 billion in volume over the past 24 hours. There has been a slow down in the volumes of currencies across the cryptocurrency markets, which is most likely due the holiday season.

Also, it has been noted that BTC transactions per day have declined since the peak around 490,000. There has been a similar trend match through ETH, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Litecoin (LTC).

Among all, ETH continues to process the highest number of transactions per day, almost the double that of BTC. However, the average value of a BTC transaction is over 10 times greater than ETH.

Bitcoin has hit several new all-time highs over the course of this past year. The asset was at one point up over 1800%. Despite news events which lead to a fall in the prices, BTC has proven that it remains more anti-fragile or less volatile now than it has ever been. Mainstream adoption will continue to rise into 2018 with Bitcoin-backed ETFs shortly on the horizon.

The field experts or technical analysts in the near term suggest a crucial week ahead in a historically bearish month for Bitcoin prices. The likely support for any dip remains between USD 8,500- USD 10,500. Otherwise, new highs to beyond USD 30,000 are reasonable based on the current trend.

Moreover, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $702 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
