Joshua Lim – Head of Derivatives at Genesis Trading – recently provided a breakdown of Bitcoin’s late underperformance against the rest of crypto.  He provided 2 metrics indicating that Bitcoin’s price is “heavy” relative to previous market cycles, followed by qualitative reasons for why this is the case.  Ethereum Outperforming Bitcoin Per a Twitter thread from Lim on Sunday, the first indicator of Bitcoin’s ‘heaviness’ is its performance against Ethereum. The ETH/BTC price...

On August 27, Jordan Belfort, the man that inspired the award-winning movie The Wolf of Street, said during an interview with Yahoo Finance that he was wrong when he claimed that the price of Bitcoin would reach Zero. As Belfort put it, when he made that claim in 2017, he “hated cryptocurrencies” because the market was surrounded by scams. This has been slowly changing over the years but remains an adverse effect of decentralization. “At the time that I really hated crypto, I...

Amidst the weekly candle close, Bitcoin’s situation continues to be bearish, following a considerable lack of demand in the market and the macro event. The price has recently plummeted towards the critical support level at $18K. Will the bears eventually break down the key level, or is bullish correction inbound? Technical Analysis By Shayan The Daily Chart The price of BTC has experienced another significant decline of roughly 8% in 24 hours after breaking below the 50-day...

Bitcoin only intensified its recent price drops by slumping to just under $20,000 for the first time in about six weeks. The alternative coins suffer, too, leading to almost $400 million in liquidations from over-leveraged traders. CryptoPotato reported the relatively stable price movements from bitcoin in the past week or so. After falling by $4,000 in the previous week, BTC spent most of this one around the $21,000 mark. It challenged $22,000 a few days ago but to no...

The past seven days were relatively unproductive in the cryptocurrency markets – at least in terms of price development, but this doesn’t mean there wasn’t volatility. The total capitalization seems to be hanging by a thread slightly above the coveted mark of $1 trillion. This time last week, Bitcoin was trading at around $21,700 but quickly retraced below $21,000. The price spent quite some time battling with this area, and it appears that even until this moment, there’s no...

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell spoke about FOMC’s future goals at the annual Jackson Hole symposium on Friday. He said that FOMC’s overarching directive remains to bring inflation back down to 2%, which “will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for some time.”  After a preliminary pump, Bitcoin’s price swung wildly following his comments. Trading at $21,234 at 12:30 UST on Friday, Bitcoin quickly pumped to $21,819 by 13:05 UST – just an hour before...

Bitcoin’s price appears to be preparing for another bearish move after a lengthy period of consolidation between the $20K and $24K levels. With the current price action, a new low is not out of the picture. Technical Analysis By: Edris The Daily Chart Looking at the daily chart, the price has been consolidating at a very tight range over the last few days. This occurred after a rejection from the $24K level and the 100-day moving average. The price has also broken below the...

After a slight recovery towards the $24K level, the 100-day moving average has successfully rejected the price. The result was the breakout of the 50-day moving average. Since then, BTC has been dormant as uncertainty returns to the market. Technical Analysis By: Shayan The Daily Chart The most recent price action for Bitcoin is not reassuring and has formed a clear bearish continuation correction wedge pattern and has been rejected three times from the upper boundary....

The most recent outlook for Bitcoin is not overly promising, as the price has been rejected from a key technical resistance level and is breaking below support levels. The recent rebound from the $20K area appears to have been just another mid-bear market bull trap. Technical Analysis By: Edris The Daily Chart The price has been plummeting over the last few days after getting rejected from the $24K resistance level for the third time. The 100-day moving average, currently...

Bitcoin had seen a short-term uptrend, which acted as a correction to the longer term’s downside action, which lasted for the past months. However, this rally might have come to its end. Technical Analysis By Shayan The Daily Chart The 100-day moving average (roughly at $24K) has acted as a strong resistance zone and rejected the price action. The outcome was a massive breakdown from BTC’s prng low. A breakout from alow typically signals a bearish reversal as most of the sell...
