EOS Analysis: EOS Forecast, News & Trading Analysis

31st May 2019

EOS has gone up from $7.28 to $7.90, charting an 8.5% growth. This followed an extremely bearish Thursday wherein the price crashed from $8 to $7.29, which is an 8.85% drop. In today’s report, we will first look at the hottest news surrounding EOS which may have dictated this price flow. Following that, we are going to check out some technical analysis to gain a better understanding as to how the price is behaving in different time frames.

Fundamental Analysis

The news stories in focus are as follows:

Coinbase lists EOS .

. Block.one’s EOSIO Labs release authenticator apps.

EOS overtakes Litecoin in market cap rankings.



Coinbase lists EOS

One of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, Coinbase announced via a blog post that they are going to be listing EOS. The San Francisco-based firm said:

“Starting today, Coinbase supports EOS (EOS) at Coinbase.com and in the Coinbase Android and iOS apps. Coinbase customers can now buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or store EOS. EOS will be available for customers in most jurisdictions, but will not initially be available for residents of the United Kingdom or the state of New York. Additional jurisdictions may be added at a later date.”

Normally, getting listed on an exchange like Coinbase would lead to a spike in price. Unfortunately, this news came around the time of the market crash, so the EOS’s price dropped instead of going up. Crypto trader Josh Rager lamented:

“Dear $EOS, You were just added to Coinbase. This lack of price action is unacceptable. Regards,

Your friends from CT”

However, EOS has since recovered its price today.

Block.one’s EOSIO Labs release authenticator apps

Block.one’s EOSIO Labs released Reference Authenticator Apps for iOS and Chrome. Authenticators are tools that help enable two-step verification via the generation of a secret key for each user.

According to EOSIO Labs, the newly implemented developments address improvements to the security, interoperability, and usability of authenticators by contributing working code and examples. Let’s take a closer look at the two authenticators:

EOSIO Reference iOS Authenticator App : Designed to help users sign in and approve transactions from web applications running in Safari (mobile version) and other iOS-based apps.

EOSIO Reference Chrome Extension Authenticator: Allows users to sign in and approve transactions from web apps running in Google Chrome.

EOS Analysis Conclusion: 31st May 2019.

28th May 2019

EOS has been on a tear for the last three days. The bulls have put the price up from $6.35 to $7.94, charting a 25% rise in price, making it one of the top performing coins in the market. So, what triggered this dramatic spike? Let’s look at both fundamental and technical analysis to gain further understanding.

EOS Fundamental Analysis

The news stories in focus are as follows:

Upcoming B1 event.

EOS maintaining top position in CCID’s rankings.

Block.One buying back share



Upcoming B1 event

All eyes are on Washington, for the big EOS event, called B1, on June 1. The EOS community is expecting some major announcements that day, such as:

An updated roadmap.

A yearly product release cycle.

A social media dApp.

To expand on the last point, B1 has registered the trademarks, MEOS and XEOS. Part of the description of the trademark says:

“..providing temporary use of non-downloadable web and mobile application software for virtual community, social networking, photo sharing, electronic media sharing, and encrypted or otherwise secured messaging and media transmission; computer services, namely, creating online virtual communities for users to organize groups and events, participate in discussions, and engage in social, business, and community networking.”

To give further fuel to the fire, it seems that Block.one spent more than $25 million on RAM from their official B1 account. Rob Finch tweeted:

“BREAKING NEWS: @block_one_ has purchased 3,300,000 EOS ($25,000,000) worth of RAM on the #EOS mainnet from their official B1 account. #B1June is heating up! NOTE: once RAM is purchased, it cannot be used to create new accounts. The RAM for a new account is purchased at the time of account creation. This is for something BIG! 🚀 #B1June #EOS.”

If the social media platform does launch, then it will spike EOS’ price even further.



EOS maintains top position in CCID rankings

The Chinese Center for Information and Industry Development (CCID) recently updated its crypto ranking list, wherein EOS retained their top spot. CCID is a scientific research institution backed by China’s Ministry for Industry and Information Technology. EOS is followed by Tron (TRX), Ethereum (ETH), Steem (STEEM) and Ontology (ONT). EOS has kept its top position since June 2018.

CCID stated:

“The results show that the world’s three major Dapp platforms —EOS, Tron, and Ethereum — remain ranked in the top three, [and] the scores are 148.5, 144.1 and 136.6.”

The rankings were based on the following criteria:

Technology.

Application.

Innovation.

The rankings used to be updated, but it will now be updated one every two months. CCID added:

“The result of this assessment will allow the CCID group to provide better technical consulting services for government agencies, business enterprises, research institutes, and technology developers.”

Back in November 2018, when EOS retained its top spot and Ethereum was runners-up, the CCID analysts had said:

“At present, EOS and Ethereum are undoubtedly the preferred platforms for Dapp development worldwide, and EOS is showing a stronger momentum. The data shows that EOS Dapp is highly active and user increments are large.”



Block.One buys back shares

Block.One is planning to buy back 10% of its shares from early investors. In the process, the earliest backers will get a 6,567% ROI in less than three years. Folks like Peter Thiel, Alan Howard, and Louis Bacon are included in the list of investors. The firm is offering $1,500 for each share compared to the seed round pricing of $22.50.

Regarding the buybacks, a spokesperson of EOS said:

“Buybacks are a normal activity for many companies. Block one is confident of its growth prospects and industry opportunities. We are pleased with the support from investors, and that they have been able to benefit from, and participate in, the success of our company.”

Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital has sold most of its share in Block.One, receiving a $71.2 million payday which amounts to a 123% gain on its initial investment. As per Novogratz:

“The acceptance of Block.one’s tender offer reflected a decision to rebalance the portfolio to maintain an appropriate level of diversification after the position increased due to its substantial outperformance relative to the remainder of the portfolio.”

Christian Angermayer, on the other hand, told Bloomberg that he wouldn’t be selling his shares. He said:

“Block.one is one of the most promising and best-positioned companies in the blockchain industry, and its success story is just beginning.”

If you are an EOS holder then you should expect some exciting times ahead.
