We’ve been on dollar watch for a couple weeks now, as it loses ground against virtually every asset on the planet. In this graph, we can see that the Dollar Index chart has been declining since late-May, and has now sunk below the near-term support (yellow line) on its third attempt. The Dollar Index, however, only really shows the U.S. dollar’s place within the currency markets.

Blockchain smart contract network Qtum has become the latest ecosystem to woo Ethereum developers. Unlike many of its rivals, however, Qtum can boast compatibility with Ethereum’s EVM, meaning developers can port projects directly over. On August 17, the Qtum Foundation announced a $1 million DeFi development fund that will be allocated to solo devs and teams seeking to create scalable DeFi dApps. Qtum is not the first blockchain platform to lay down the red carpet to DeFi devs; Matic Network recently issued a similar call, with a generous grant program

Gold’s sharp rebound after logging its biggest plunge in 7 years left Bitcoin (Symbol: BTCUSD) in a comfortable space. The benchmark cryptocurrency seemingly copied the precious metal’s retracement moves during the Wednesday session. At one point in time, it was trading at $11,148 (data from Coinbase), down 7.76 percent from its weekly top. But it bounced back ahead of the New York session, rising about 4.54 percent from its intraday low. The same happened to gold (Symbol: XAUUSD). The metal plunged by more than 10 percent from its record high

Bitcoin expects to hit a $15,000 valuation in the coming sessions, says full-time futures trader Adam Mancini. The Twitterati stated earlier Monday that BTC/USD closed above a “multi-year bullish triangle” by almost $2,000. The pair’s giant move above the “continuation pattern” increased its likelihood of testing short-term breakout targets, beginning with $15,000. Mr. Mancini said Bitcoin could extend its upside towards $24,000, as well. “[The cryptocurrency] may be the new kid on the block but the same old classic patterns that apply to all financial assets still apply,” he tweeted.

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

Bitcoin may hit $14,000 in the coming quarter. The analogy appears out of two extremely bullish calls made for the US dollar and Gold. Bitcoin has shown an extreme correlation with the two macro assets this year. Bitcoin may have some fuel left to continue its 2020’s run-up towards the $14,000-mark. The level–last approached in 2019 against the backdrop of an escalating US-China trade war and falling yuan– has fallen back into the radar of Bitcoin bulls. Only this time, the weakening US dollar has replaced its Chinese counterpart as

Bitcoin pressed higher on Wednesday after finding reliable support at $10,500. The upside move appeared as the US dollar index broke below its classic trendline support that originated back in 2011. With greenback setting new downside targets based on technical parameters, Bitcoin could extend its gains further as it eyes a $14,000-retest. Bitcoin climbed higher during the Wednesday trading session as demand for alternative safe-havens remained stronger against an underperforming US dollar. The benchmark cryptocurrency rose 5 percent to close at $11,756.75 (data from Coinbase). Its gains followed a record
