Bitcoin Price Dips Below $67K, Pausing Hopes for ATH Rally

8 days ago

Bitcoin’s price took a turn for the worse in late Monday evening in Europe. The sellers have reappeared and established control, pushing the cryptocurrency below $67,000, losing about 2.5% in the past 24 hours.
The move has pushed the total liquidations in the derivatives market to about $200 million. In the past four hours alone, almost $70 million worth of leveraged positions—the majority of them long — were wiped off the market.
Source: CoinglassThis latest move caused a lot of uncertainty in the market, with many wondering whether the rally to a new all-time high is put on pause.
Some popular traders such as X user Emperor even suggested that a further decline to $62,000 might be in the cards.

The Reason Bitcoin’s Price Increased to $63,000 Today

18 days ago

Bitcoin’s price exploded above $63,000 today, reaching a local high at around $63,400. Even though it has since retraced to where it currently trades at $62,700, this is still a considerable increase of 4% for the past 24 hours.

So, what are the reasons for this recovery? What could be driving the BTC price up in the past couple of days?
Well, reason number one might as well be the fact that Mt. Gox has pushed its repayment deadline to October 31st, 2025. Previously, this deadline was October 31st, 2024. According to the official notice:

Bitcoin Price Rockets to $63K but This Viral Meme Coin Takes Center Stage (Weekend Watch)

18 days ago

After a few days of depressing price action, the bulls appear to be finally back in town. The cryptocurrency market added almost $70 billion to its total capitalization over the past 24 hours.
This happened on the back of Bitcoin charting a notable recovery in the past 24 hours, bouncing up to $63,000, so let’s have a look.
Bitcoin’s Price Stages a Recovery
Just a couple of days ago, Bitcoin tumbled below $60,000 and even briefly dipped below $59,000.
Fortunately, the bulls were very quick to recover and managed to stage an impressive rally, which peaked at around $63,400 earlier today. The price has since retraced a bit to where it currently trades, but BTC booked a 3.4% increase throughout the past 24 hours nonetheless.

Bitcoin Price Plummets Toward $59K, $250M Liquidated in a Day

19 days ago

The cryptocurrency market has seen better days.
Bitcoin’s price hovered at the $62,000 range for a few days, but it appears that the bears were finally able to take full control.
Just a few moments ago, BTC dropped below $59,000, reaching a local low of $58,867.
Source: TradingViewThe move has resulted in the liquidation of more than $250 million in leveraged positions, the majority of which, of course, is long.
As CryptoPotato reported earlier today, Bitcoin’s price reacted negatively to the announcement of higher-than-expected CPI numbers. The Consumer Price Index is a gauge for inflation in the United States. An increase essentially means that the Federal Reserve might not cut rates again in November, which is bad news for risk-on assets such as Bitcoin.

September 20, 2024

There’s been no shortage of news over the past seven days. During this period, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization managed to add close to $140 billion. This happened on the back of significant gains charted by the majority of coins, so let’s take a closer look.
First things first, the long-anticipated rate cut is now a fact. The US Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday that it is decreasing interest rates by 0.5%, a considerable move that sent ripples across all financial markets, and crypto was no exception.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Dips to $58K in Anticipation of This Week’s Fed Rate Decision

September 16, 2024

Bitcoin’s price is still consolidating around the $60K level. Yet, an impulsive move might begin soon.
Technical Analysis
By Edris Derakhshi (TradingRage)
The Daily Chart
On the daily timeframe, it is evident that the price has yet to climb back and recover definitively above the $60K level after its rapid rejection and drop from the 200-day moving average, located around $63K.
Following the recent rebound from the $52,500 level, the price has once again tested the pivotal range. This is important because for the market to begin a new rally, both $60K and the 200-day moving average should be broken to the upside first.

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Tumbles 4% Daily as Bears Regain Control, $2K Next?

September 16, 2024

Ethereum remains in a downward trend, with price action showing insufficient bullish momentum for a reversal.
In the near term, the cryptocurrency is likely to enter a consolidation phase within a critical range, with mild bearish retracements seeming far more likely.

By Shayan
The Daily Chart
On the daily chart, Ethereum has been in a sustained downtrend since getting rejected at its yearly high of $4K. The price has consistently formed lower lows and lower highs, creating a descending channel that reflects the overall bearish market sentiment. This pattern highlights the pessimism among market participants regarding ETH’s broader trajectory.

September 4, 2024

Bitcoin’s price is back above $58K, registering an increase of around 3% in the past 4 hours alone.
As CryptoPotato reported earlier today, the market had shed some $100 billion off its total market capitalization as the BTC price dropped to a monthly low of under $56,000.
Most of the altcoins followed suit, trading deep into red territory. ETH plunged to $2,400, while BNB bears were able to push the price toward $510.

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Speaks Up on Which is the Best Blockchain for AI

August 24, 2024

Artificial intelligence has been one of the hottest topics in the cryptocurrency industry (and well beyond it) for more than a year now, and many teams are looking for ways to leverage their tech stack and build off of AI.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, recently took to X to share his thoughts on which network might be the best for AI-based applications.
Under the hood, Algorand’s tech combined with a useful proof of work turned to AI interface would make it the greatest decentralized powerhouse our industry has seen. It would be cool to see it become a partnerchain and push Minotaur to its limits. – Tweeted Hoskinson.

Super Bullish Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction, But Some Worrying Signs Appear

August 24, 2024

The cryptocurrency market exploded in the past 24 hours. Almost all of the cryptocurrencies are trading in the green, and Ripple’s XRP is no exception.
Now, a popular analyst has come up with a rather bullish price prediction, but some other metrics are also worth watching.
Ripple (XRP) Price Can Go Crazy
According to DustyBC, a well-known analyst with over 150,000 followers on X and across other channels, the XRP price could go “crazy.”

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Lags Behind as Pullback to $2.1K Becomes Possible

August 23, 2024

Ethereum has been facing significant resistance at the $2.8K level, which marks the lower boundary of a multi-month wedge pattern.
The price action suggests that it might be completing a pullback, potentially driving the price down toward the $2.1K threshold.

By Shayan
The Daily Chart
Ethereum has been grappling with the multi-month wedge’s lower boundary at $2.8K for several weeks, suggesting a possible pullback completion.
After retracing toward this key resistance level, the price has entered a period of slight consolidation, reflecting insufficient market demand. The low-volatility action near this resistance suggests that the pullback might be nearing its end.
Given the significant supply pressure around the $2.8K mark, a rejection could lead to a decline toward the

Massive Bitcoin and Crypto Crash and Epic Recovery: This Week’s Recap

August 9, 2024

This week saw one of the most dramatic crashes in the cryptocurrency market—one that we hadn’t seen since the collapse of FTX in November 2022. What is even more interesting was the epic recovery of the majority of coins in the following days.
