BITCOIN PLUNGES $800 IN HOURS; CAN THE PRICE STAY ABOVE $10,000? BTC ANALYSIS & OVERVIEW




The short-term action continues going back and forth inside the horizontal triangle marked below on the 4-hour chart.

After two days of consolidation below the triangle’s descending trend line with zero success breaking through, Bitcoin plunged $800 to $10,082. As mentioned in our previous analysis, the $10,800 area provided tough resistance, containing the 50-day moving average line (marked in purple) and the 4-hour descending trend line (marked in yellow).

Looking at the daily chart, Bitcoin has yet to produce a higher low and has been moving in a lower-high formation, which is bearish. The question is, can Bitcoin maintain the lower boundary of the triangle, which is roughly around $9,950-$10,000? That support has held for over a month now.

Total Market Cap: $264 billion

Bitcoin Market Cap: $182 billion

BTC Dominance Index: 68.9%

Key Levels to Watch

Support/Resistance: Following the recent plunge, Bitcoin is now near the aforementioned strong support between $9,800 and $10,000, along with the ascending trend line on the 4-hour chart and the 100-day moving average line (marked in white).


In case of a break down below this area, the next support levels to be tested are $9,600 and $9,300-$9,400. The latter is a crucial area which contains the red ascending trend line on the daily chart. Below that are $8,800 and $8,500.


Current resistance levels include the $10,300 support-turned-resistance area, $10,600 (the 4-hour MA-200) and $10,800.

Daily chart’s RSI: The RSI indicator looks bearish after failing to remain above 50 and now faces the 43-44 level in a last effort to stay above its previous low. If the RSI succeeds in that regard, it might be a first bullish sign that the price could indeed remain above the $10,000 region and that the bulls are still present.

Trading Volume: We are witnessing one of the lowest volume weeks since April. It may be typical for July and August, but this amount of volume could be enough to move the whole Bitcoin market.

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...

CHINA 2016 BITCOIN BOOM COMEBACK? YUAN HITS 11-YEAR LOW AGAINST THE DOLLAR

Bitcoin’s price has marked a spectacular increase of around 10 percent over the past couple of days in a move that was nothing if not sudden. Comparing Bitcoin’s situation now to that of 2016, analysts and industry experts think that the instability of China’s yuan relative to the dollar could soon shift the country’s position with regard to crypto. China’s Bitcoin Fever in 2016-2017 Many are comparing Bitcoin’s parabolic price movement of 2019 to that of 2016 and 2017, when the cryptocurrency reached its all-time high price of around $20,000. Now that Bitcoin is up more than 270 percent since the beginning of 2019, it seems only reasonable to make the comparison. However, many industry experts and analysts, including Alex Saunders, CEO and Founder of Blockchain Education, tweeted that one of the key differences between then and now was China’s position. Notably, back before China issued a blanket ban on all crypto trading and exchange operations, the country wa...
