BITCOIN FINALLY BREAKS ABOVE $11,000: COULD $15K REALLY BE THE TARGET THIS WEEK? BTC PRICE ANALYSIS



For most of yesterday, Bitcoin’s price was hovering around $10,800-$11,000 and was trying to overcome the long-term ascending trend line, shown on our daily chart (marked in orange).
As the Asian markets woke up, it finally happened: The trend line, along with the significant $11,000 resistance area, got left behind. By breaking over $11,000, Bitcoin finally put an end to the lower-highs formation of the past 20+ days (see daily chart).
Could Bitcoin face new 2019 highs? Max Keiser said Bitcoin would reach $15,000 this week, but could it be so?



In the meantime, when you think there is no further room for altcoins to fall in light of Bitcoin’s surging dominance rate, they tumble even more. Ethereum’s price is at its lowest level against Bitcoin since March 2017. Other altcoins are bleeding against Bitcoin, in what seems like an endless tunnel. No one can predict when, if ever, another altcoin season will take place. Until it does, risk management is the name of the game.

Total Market Cap: $305 billion

Bitcoin Market Cap: $206 billion

BTC Dominance Index: 67.6%

Key Levels to Watch

Support/Resistance: Following the massive breakout, Bitcoin is now facing the $11,500-$11,600 resistance area. The next level of resistance will be $11,800-$12,000. This contains the descending trend line from the 2019 high, marked in yellow on the daily chart. The following resistance will be $12,400-$12,500, before reaching the vicinity of the current 2019 high around $13,500-$13,880.
The nearest support area is the current price area. Further down is the descending trend line serving as resistance-turned-support at $11,150. Next is $11,000, followed by the “good old” $10,500-$10,600 region (from yesterday).
Daily chart’s RSI: The RSI is showing bullish momentum, and the breakout is real as the RSI has broken above 60 and is now facing 64. The Stochastic RSI oscillator is about to cross over into oversold territory. If this plays out, Bitcoin will likely undergo a correction before trying again to reach higher levels (we are in bullish conditions until proven otherwise).
Trading Volume: It was mentioned here already, but the current Bitcoin rally has lacked some buy volume so far. This could change at any moment, and part of the reason for it might be that the world hasn’t yet returned to work from the weekend. Watch how the volume candle closes today (Monday).

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...
