BITCOIN PRICE ANALYSIS: MARKET SHOWING SIGNS OF A BULL MOVE BACK TO $10,000




Following our previous analysis and over the past week, there has not been much price action in the Bitcoin market.
The price of the coin is still hovering in the range of $9,400 to $9,800. However, following another bearish leg down, we saw Bitcoin get quickly bought around the $9,000 region. The daily chart has been forming a decent double bottom ($9,000) bullish formation.
Looking at the RSI, the significant momentum indicator turned around at the 40 support level and is now facing the 45 support-turned-resistance line, but it’s still far from the bullish area (above 50). Will it maintain the supporting floor at 40?
Another bullish sign might come from the Stochastic RSI oscillator which crossed over from oversold territory after being there for the entire past month. The oscillator is about to enter the bullish area.
From the fundamental side, yesterday’s congressional hearing passed without much action, and today the global economy is facing one of its most critical days, with an expected cut in interest rates. That could have an effect on the cryptocurrency markets in the longer term.
To sum it up, there are always two sides: While the support at $9,000 seems strong, we could always go below it and break the aforementioned double bottom formation. Bitcoin hasn’t been able to overcome the resistance line provided by the 50-day moving average (marked in purple on the 4-hour chart) over the past ten days, and as of now, it is taking another shot.
Total Market Cap: $270 billion (according to CoinGecko)
Bitcoin Market Cap: $174 billion
BTC Dominance Index: 64.6%

Key Levels to Watch

Support/Resistance: From the bullish side, Bitcoin is now facing the $9,800 – $10K resistance zone. In the case of a break up, the $10,5000-$10,600 old support-turned-resistance area seems solid combined with the 50-day moving average line. Further above is $10,800 before the $11,000 resistance.

From below, the nearest support area lies around $9,550. Further below is the $9,300 level, before the double bottom at $9,000, which is the lowest point of the recent parabolic move. In the case of a break down, lower support areas can be found in the $8,500-$8,800 region (along with the 100-day moving average line).
– Daily chart’s RSI: Discussed above.
– Trading Volume: As mentioned above, the trading volume has decreased to very low levels that are far from the recent monthly average. The last three days saw particularly low volume.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two. While the price goes up, it’s more profitable to mine, which likely to cause more miners to turn on their mining equ...

IN THE NEW DECADE, CRYPTO WILL BECOME ESSENTIAL LIKE EMAIL: SAYS TYLER WINKLEVOSS

It’s the start of a new decade, and industry famous twin Tyler Winklevoss, the co-founder, and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange and custodian company Gemini Trust, has shared his views on what the next ten years hold for crypto. According to Winklevoss, crypto is already becoming more than a niche technology and a form of money, and it will play an essential role in our daily life in the foreseeable future. “Today, crypto is still a niche technology and a form of money. It is not crucial to your everyday life the way email and other web applications are, but our thesis is that this will change — it’s already changing if you look close enough,” Winklevoss wrote. Winklevoss added that the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, which empowers individuals, will be the driving force within the new decade. Crypto will not only redesign the internet but will also redesign the financial and monetary systems to protect the rights and dignity of users, he said. The Winklevos...
