Bitcoin is facing risks of a price correction towards $10,000, according to a TradingView analyst. He spotted the cryptocurrency trading near its weekly resistance level, noting that it may amount to profit-taking action among traders. Nevertheless, he also asserted that Bitcoin is in a bull market, adding that the price would likely bounce back from its $10,000-lows. Bitcoin’s efforts to log a breakout move above $12,000 may fail as selling sentiment grows near the said level. The benchmark cryptocurrency risks breaking lower after retesting the $12,000-mark, says a TradingView.com analyst

Is Bitcoin Too Hard To Understand? I’ve spent a huge part of the last three years explaining Bitcoin to general audiences and the most common form of resistance I encounter is: “Bitcoin is too complicated. The masses will never understand it.” It’s a fair argument. Bitcoin is complicated and if you want to reach a competent understanding of the big picture then, at a minimum, you’d better get ready to learn about peer-to-peer networks, cryptography and the history of money. It’s for this reason that I find it bizarre when

This article originally appeared in our Weekly Bits newsletter. If you want our news and analysis before anyone else, make sure you subscribe now! In my view, Bitcoin Independence Day is a holiday that says a lot about the BTC community. Its origins are highly technical and difficult to understand, the “independence” it celebrates refers to the developer community overcoming interests from industrialized miners and, ultimately, it’s a chance for Bitcoiners to reflect on the young history of the technology and engage in debate. To celebrate, Bitcoin Magazine hosted a day

New data shows that the amount of Bitcoin held by smaller entities has grown significantly. Meanwhile, during the same time, whale-sized BTC wallets declined by a similar margin. Clearly, there’s been a sizable shift in supply, but what exactly does this crypto wealth transfer signify? And is this bullish or bearish for the first-ever cryptocurrency? Supply Restrictions Give Cryptocurrencies Added Value That Isn’t Fully Understood Out of all of Bitcoin’s unique attributes that give it inherent value, nothing compares to the asset’s hard-capped, 21 million BTC supply.

Sure, it was loosely correlated for a while there, but by now, bitcoin and the crypto markets are once again able to claim independence from the traditional markets. In short, and even though measuring correlation can be quite complex, I think this graph pretty much sums it up. What we’re seeing here is the 90-day Pearson correlation between bitcoin and the S&P 500 since 2011. We can clearly see earlier this year, where the correlation spiked up to 0.6 due to the multi-asset early-pandemic sell-off. By now, however, we’re once

Bitcoin is currently showing intense signs of technical strength as it races towards $12,000 once again despite the recent rejection at this level The cryptocurrency is now well-positioned to see further upside but remains within a short-term consolidation phase until it shatters this level This uptrend may be bolstered by its break above a previously formed trading range within the lower-$11,000 region One analyst still believes that Bitcoin is at risk of seeing a large near-term selloff that sends it back into the $10,000 region Bitcoin and the entire crypto

DeFi protocol dYdX might seem like another trading and lending platform based on Ethereum, but that’ only the tip of the iceberg. Probing further, you’ll find out that this protocol is challenging the status quo to take Decentralized Finance to new heights. Margin trading, derivatives, and options are the relevant tools that power traders use. Unfortunately, in the crypto space, these tools are mostly available only on centralized exchanges like Binance, Huobi, and Kraken. With dYdX, the entire traditional trading spectacle is now built in a permissionless and decentralized mechanism. Table

UBS Global predicts that gold would climb to $2,000, at least by September, just as the metal’s correlation with Bitcoin reaches a new high. Wayne Gordan, executive director of Commodities and Forex at UBS, projected negative US real yields as the core reason behind the increasing bids for gold. The other key point, Mr. Gordon stated, is the ongoing plunge in the US dollar. Bitcoin traders should brace for a decent upside momentum led by the gold market. It is because of the increasing realized correlation between the two assets.

Bitcoin started the week on a positive note after an unusually volatile weekend by recent standards. The BTC/USD price temporarily reached a local high of over $12,000. The eventful weekend was preceded by a credit-rating downgrade from Fitch who placed a “negative outlook” on the United State’s triple-A rating on Friday. Fitch added that a “resurgence of inflation” could be on the cards, which would in turn force the Fed to increase interest rates. It would be interesting to see the effects that would have on Bitcoin and its brethren.

Hope you had an excellent weekend. It’s become a bit of a rarity lately while bitcoin was sitting flat, but now that crypto is in a bull market again, I suppose it makes sense to see some volatility over the weekend. Hope it’s not surprising to anyone. Stocks are moving up, precious metals are marching higher, and capital is flowing toward new age financial technology in a way that we’ve never really seen before. There’s a lot more liquidity these days, and it has been floating into all sorts of
