BITCOIN STRUGGLES TO MAINTAIN $10,000: THE LAST TIME BITCOIN SEES 5-DIGIT PRICE IN SEPTEMBER 2019? BTC PRICE ANALYSIS



As you probably know, technical analysis is not always right, but it’s correct most of the time. Three days ago while Bitcoin was trading around $10,600, our last analysis title suggested another re-test of the $10,000 level, when everyone was bullish, we saw this leg down coming-up.

As you could notice, after getting rejected one more time by the crucial long-term descending yellow trend-line, started forming from the 2019 high at $13,880, Bitcoin plunged passed $10,000, marking the $9,880 support as its current daily low (as of writing this). This support is clearly seen on the following 4-hour ascending trend-line (marked yellow).

Looking at the bigger picture, the mentioned pattern of a substantial bearish triangle formation is still threatening the BTC chart. Of course, this can be invalidated at any moment; however, Bitcoin would need to break to the bullish side for it to take place and invalidate.

Simply put, the bigger picture from below is the crucial support line around $9,400, which is the last barrier before the triangle breaks to the downside. From the top, the triangles’ trend-line sits around the resistance level of $10,300 – $10,400. Hence, there is also a possibility of another leg up to the area mentioned above, before another final plunge.

Total Market Cap: $259 billion
Bitcoin Market Cap: $180 billion

Key Levels to Watch



– Support/Resistance:
Bitcoin is now testing the critical $10,000 level as support. Nearby is the $9,880 support along with the 4-hour’s chart ascending trend-line. Further below lies $9600 (weak support level), before the crucial $9,400 level (the red ascending trend-line, the bottom line of the triangle). If broken down, Bitcoin is likely to produce a quick move down to $8,800 – $9,000 at first.

From the bullish side, the nearest level of resistance is the 100-days moving average line (marked white on the daily chart), around $10,250. Further above is the triangle’s descending line along with the 50-days moving average line (marked purple) at around $10,300 – $10,400. Above is the $10,500 – $10,600 zone.

– Daily chart’s RSI: After yesterday’s decline, the RSI is also standing on a decision point – the 44 levels. Overall, the RSI indicator tells the same bearish story of the Bitcoin’s price. Besides, since the stochastic RSI did make the mentioned cross-over at the overbought territory, Bitcoin lost almost $1,000 from its value.

– Trading Volume: Surprisingly, not a huge amount of volume followed the last move. Adding to the above, the daily volume is decreasing over time; this might tell on a coming-up huge price move.

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...

The State Of Illinois Legalizes Blockchain-Based Smart Contracts

The US State of Illinois made a massive step towards further blockchain adoption. According to the Blockchain Technology Act, which took effect on January 1st, blockchain-based smart contracts satisfy the law under certain circumstances. Smart Contracts Admissible In Court One of the biggest challenges in front of regulators when it comes to crafting legislation for the cryptocurrency field is definitions. The SEC, for instance, has been struggling for quite some time before stating that Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) are not considered securities, while other digital assets launched in Initial Coin Offerings, for instance, pertain to that definition. The State of Illinois, however, has made a serious step towards regulating blockchain-based technologies with the Blockchain Technology Act . The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Keith Wheeler, took effect on January 1st, 2020, and one of the first things that it addresses is the very definition for blockchain itself. “Blockcha...

Bitcoin Opens 2020 With Untypical Stability: Tuesday’s Crypto Market Watch

Bitcoin marked the end of 2019 at around $7,150, which is a notable increase of over 90% since January 1st.  Looking at the price on a smaller time frame, BTC has decreased by 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $7,190. Just yesterday, the largest cryptocurrency attempted to break the $7,400 resistance but to no avail. Part of the reason could be related to the CME price gap at around $7,300, and as it often happens, it was filled in less than 24 hours. If BTC is to increase, it has to break the $7,400 resistance line and $7,700 would follow next. However, if bears take charge, the most notable support lies at $7,000, followed by $6,800 and $6,500. Most altcoins are recording similar price movements of around 1% up or down within the last 24 hours, keeping Bitcoin’s dominance over the entire market at above 68%. Ethereum is at $131; Ripple ranges for several days at around $0,193, and Binance Coin – $13.78. Bitcoin SV is close to $100, recording the m...
