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...

John McAfee: Bitcoin Is Ancient Technology, As Ford Model T For Cars

American entrepreneur and controversial crypto figure John McAfee, who boldly predicted that Bitcoin would be valued at $1 million by the end of 2020, has openly lashed out on the leading cryptocurrency, referring to it as an ancient technology due to several limitations. This comes as a blow, considering that he was one of the biggest promoters of Bitcoin and crypto in general over the last few years. McAfee believes that being the first blockchain to exist does not make Bitcoin the “future.” In his opinion, there are newer blockchains with enhanced features that solve the flaws of the Bitcoin blockchain, just as the Ford Model T automobile of 1908 was replaced by more sophisticated cars. The 74 years computer programmer and billionaire has always been an advocate of decentralization and privacy. In fact, he has spent a great deal of time on the run while preaching against central authorities like government, and as such, privacy is a big concern for him, one of the features w...

South Korea Won’t Tax Cryptocurrency Profits, For Now

Good news for cryptocurrency traders in South Korea as profit generated from crypto trading will not be subjected to tax, according to a recent announcement from the country’s Ministry of Finance and Strategy. The Ministry clarified that the current tax law does not consider crypto trading gains as taxable income; thus, Korean crypto traders are not required to pay taxes on the profits they earn from crypto trading for the time being.  However, crypto traders in the country may not be exempted from taxation for a long time. An official of the Ministry said that the Ministry is aware of the loophole in the current tax law, and they are currently reviewing the regulations in major foreign countries so that they can amend theirs in an effective way. “The income tax law is only taxable on income listed as taxable. We are preparing a taxation plan for virtual assets by comprehensively reviewing the taxation of major countries, consistency with accounting standards, and trend...
