Today we look at After #bitcoin crackdown, #China now calls it an ‘investment alternative’ in a significant shift in tone and 50-Day SMA what does it even mean? Thoughts on the market on 19.04.2021
#Bitcoin fell below 51K over the weekend, reaching lows of $50931 on #Binance exchange. This correction was gradually bought out #Bitcoin moved to growth. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at #57100. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $2.094 Trillion, with a #BTC dominance index of 50.9%.
Equity markets opened slightly lower. As of now, S&P 500 futures are down 0.17%. Gold and silver are falling.
For #Bitcoin, an alternative version of the Saturday analysis worked out. Having lost support at 60K, the price reached local lows below 51K (50931 on Binance). The corrections pulled the entire market with it, some altcoins lost up to 30% of their value. The volume of liquidations for Sunday amounted to about 10 billion, and according to the bybit exchange, more than 1 million traders became victims of such a dip. The aggregate market capitalization fell below 1.9 trillion and reached $1.895.
The #Bitcoin dip was fueled by several factors that converged over the weekend. Power outages in some regions of China, which accompanied sharp reductions in hash rates, up to 30% for the leading Bitcoin mining pools, inflated expectations of #Coinbase listing on #Nasdaq, news that the US Treasury has accused several companies of money laundering through digital currencies (already its refuted) and natural depletion of the market, we have been growing for a very long time. All these factors led to such a collapse.
For today expect #Bitcoin in the range $54000-58000. with an option drift below 54k is an alternative.
Interestingly China is exploring cryptocurrencies as an investment vehicle. The central bank official said stablecoins issued by private companies may require "stronger regulatory rules" than Bitcoin. Li Bo, recently appointed deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, or PBoC, reportedly spoke on the benefits of crypto as an investment tool while highlighting regulatory uncertainty in the country surrounding digital assets.
“We believe that #Bitcoin and #stablecoins are encrypted assets,” said Li. “Encrypted assets are an investment option, not currency itself. It is an alternative investment, not currency itself. Therefore, we believe that crypto assets should play a major role in the future, either as an investment tool or as an alternative investment.” Source | https://cointelegraph.com/
So in closing, with Bitcoin falling sharply yesterday, dipping well below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) support for the first time in six months. The decline looks typical of a bull market correction, it could be extended further if prices find acceptance under the 50-day SMA. The 50-day SMA is one of the most widely-tracked averages along with the 100- and 200-day SMAs. As such, violation of these SMA supports often invites stronger chart-driven selling.
Theoretically, the concept of daily close does not apply to crypto markets, as it is functional 24/7, unlike stock markets, which are open only for limited hours during weekdays.
For now, we are looking for a rebound and an exit from the $54000-58000 price range to $61K zone. This will be the first test level for bull's strength. If they break out, it will be a good sign. The real strength nonetheless will emerge when they break 68,000 and close above it weekly, then $78/82/100K can be in range.
What if the bulls fail to reclaim $65K and close above $68K weekly?! We shall talk about this later.
As always wishing you a blessed day ahead, and remember must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. #Decryptedge,

The stock market ended Monday trading lower on the back of negative dynamics from the consumer goods, technology and consumer services sectors. The Dow Jones fell 0.36%, the S&P 500 lost 0.53%, and the NASDAQ fell 0.98%. The volatility index is up 6.40% to 17.29, the dollar index is down 0.51% to 91.078
For #Bitcoin, the priority version of yesterday's forecast has worked out. After Sunday's price collapse below 51K, Bitcoin moved to growth and reached above 57500, after which a rollback went to the area of 54300-55700, where it is now.
Altcoins are following Bitcoin, market capitalization has dropped below $2trillion, dominance index is 51.3 and continues to fall.
So far, only #Dogecoin is holding and today it may continue to grow, many Doge holders expect the coin to reach 69 cents of a dollar. As a reminder, #Dogecoin is a meme coin. A meme is definition is an image, video, piece of text, cryptocurrency etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.
The outlook for today, expect #Bitcoin in the range 54000-57000. If we go below 54K, then again we can test 52 and even 51K, I don’t consider going below 50K yet. Major support level is 54000, followed by 52000, major resistance levels are $56000 and 57000.

On other news Reshma Patel, a candidate for the post of Treasurer of New York, called for investing in cryptocurrencies. “New York City needs to think creatively about its post-pandemic recovery, says a candidate for city comptroller. This includes investments in the city’s blockchain industry. A Democratic candidate for the city’s chief financial officer position, unveiled a “future proof” plan for New York on Monday centered around investments in blockchain businesses and cryptocurrencies. There are 12 candidates for the office, including 10 other Democrats, according to Ballotpedia. As reported by coindesk.
Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IOHK company behind Cardano(ADA), questioned the prospects for Proof-of-Work, noting a sharp drop in the hashrate of the Bitcoin network in April and called for the abandonment of Proof-of-Work. He also predicted the collapse of #Dogecoin.
“People wake up! This situation is impossible in Proof-of-Stake. The Nakamoto consensus is the road to nowhere, ” Hoskinson said. Earlier, the head of IOHK marked the beginning of a "large flow of value" in Proof-of-Stake-based networks such as Ethereum 2.0, Polkadot and others. Cardano dropped Proof-of-Work after activating the Shelley update in July 2020. “The problem with Bitcoin is that because of its nature, it will never get better. The more successful it is, the higher the price; the higher the price, the more competition and more energy costs for the production of the first cryptocurrency , "Hoskinson explained then. Well I respect his views, but don't agree in my opinion.

Lastly on #Dogecoin, which many of you have been contacting us for advise if to buy or not. From April 15 to April 16, the coin temporarily entered the top 5 crypto assets in terms of capitalization. This was preceded by the support of Elon Musk , Mark Cuban and other celebrities. “In the industry, DOGE has always been seen as a joke. But thanks to Musk and the whales, the coin's price skyrocketed into the stratosphere, driving demand from new entrants. Let's be honest: this is a bubble. It will explode and deprive many retail investors of money , ”he explained.
There you have it. As always wishing you a blessed day ahead, and remember must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. #Decryptedge,

#Rothschild Investment Trust, acquires interest in the #Kraken #cryptocurrency exchange and #Cuban Govt Considers #Cryptocurrency in new economic development program Thoughts on the market on 23.04.2021.
#Bitcoin tried several times yesterday to gain a foothold above 55K, but did not succeed and moved to a decline. The main support level at 50K was lost, reaching a lows of $48,401.21 on the #Binance exchange. At the time of writing this review, Bitcoin is worth $49,850. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.806 trillion with #BTC dominance index of 51.5%
The stock market ended with a fall on Thursday. The Dow Jones fell 0.94%, the S&P 500 fell 0.92%, and the NASDAQ lost 0.94%. The volatility index rose 6.91%, while the dollar index rose 0.16% to 91.275.
The fall in markets occurred against the backdrop of a statement by US President Joe Biden, about his intention not only to raise the maximum income tax rate from 37% to 39.6%, but also his readiness to raise the capital gains tax for those who earn more than $ 1 million a year. For a long-term investor, this is a tangible increase in costs and some rushed to close their positions before new initiatives took effect. Details of the plan are promised to be announced next week.
With bitcoin dropping more than 11% in the last 24 hrs and the #BTC market capitalization of 1 trillion lost, the dominance index has since moved below 49%, which is the lowest level since August 2018. A decrease in the market share of #bitcoin by less than 50% ideally means money is now moving to altcoins. See our thoughts on Market Cycles (https://t.me/decryptedge/291 ) Ethereum yesterday set a new all-time high and reached the level of 2645 on #Binance exchange. The capitalization of the asset exceeded 300 billion, and the daily trading volume reached 55 billion.
Today expect the Bitcoin price to recover to 53000-53500, but if we do not keep the levels at 50-48K, then a spillage of up to 45K is possible.

#Bitcoin tried several times yesterday to gain a foothold above 55K, but did not succeed and moved to a decline. The main support level at 50K was lost, reaching a lows of $48,401.21 on the #Binance exchange. At the time of writing this review, Bitcoin is worth $49,850. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.806 trillion with #BTC dominance index of 51.5%
The stock market ended with a fall on Thursday. The Dow Jones fell 0.94%, the S&P 500 fell 0.92%, and the NASDAQ lost 0.94%. The volatility index rose 6.91%, while the dollar index rose 0.16% to 91.275.
The fall in markets occurred against the backdrop of a statement by US President Joe Biden, about his intention not only to raise the maximum income tax rate from 37% to 39.6%, but also his readiness to raise the capital gains tax for those who earn more than $ 1 million a year. For a long-term investor, this is a tangible increase in costs and some rushed to close their positions before new initiatives took effect. Details of the plan are promised to be announced next week.
With bitcoin dropping more than 11% in the last 24 hrs and the #BTC market capitalization of 1 trillion lost, the dominance index has since moved below 49%, which is the lowest level since August 2018. A decrease in the market share of #bitcoin by less than 50% ideally means money is now moving to altcoins. See our thoughts on Market Cycles (https://t.me/decryptedge/291 ) Ethereum yesterday set a new all-time high and reached the level of 2645 on #Binance exchange. The capitalization of the asset exceeded 300 billion, and the daily trading volume reached 55 billion.
Today expect the Bitcoin price to recover to 53000-53500, but if we do not keep the levels at 50-48K, then a spillage of up to 45K is possible.
Interestingly, the Cuban government has included cryptocurrencies in the economic development program.

We talked about market cycles when in early January we discussed whether there will be an alt season, it was really a matter of when. It is inevitable, because the standard market cycle assumes that after the growth of Bitcoin, altcoins also grow. TOP tier…
Now Who Will You Listen To? Nassim Taleb
Or Tim Draper. Thoughts on the market on 24.04.2021.
#Bitcoin updated lows of $47500 on #Binance exchange. This correction was quickly redeemed and has now briefly recovered to $50K + level. As of the time of this writing, the main cryptocurrency is trading around 50300K. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.866 trillion, with BTC dominance index 50.4%. That is a $913 Billion market cap level which was attained back on 8th February.
The stock market ended Friday trading with growth. The Dow Jones climbed 0.67%, the S&P 500 rose 1.09%, and the NASDAQ rose 1.44%. The Volatility Index, which is based on the performance of S&P 500 options trading, fell 7.38% to 17.33, while the dollar index was down 0.57% to 90.800.
The Bitcoin alternative scenario from our analysis worked out with correction to $47500. Markets fell yesterday amid a statement by US President Joe Biden about his intention to raise the maximum income tax rate, as well as the closure of the largest Turkish cryptocurrency exchange Thodex with 2 billion in wallets.
For the weekend, the priority option - Bitcoin remains in the range of 48000-51000. If we go below 48K, then a correction up to 45K is possible. Do not forget that on the thin weekend market, movements by a couple of thousand points in any direction are possible.
Interestingly, the renowned Economist and Black Swan author Nassim Taleb advises staying away from Bitcoin without citing inflation or the economy. Taleb is a Lebanese-American scholar, mathematical statistician, former options trader, and risk analyst. He was asked about cryptocurrency, particularly bitcoin, given that investors have been increasingly restructuring their portfolios with this asset class. Regarding bitcoin, “It has the characteristics of an open Ponzi scheme. Everyone knows it’s a Ponzi,” he claims, adding: Basically, there is no connection between inflation and bitcoin. None. You can have hyperinflation and bitcoin goes to zero. There is no link between them. Source | news.bitcoin.com Same guy bought and profited from this same “Ponzi” last year. (https://t.me/decryptedge/305)
On the contrary Venture capitalist Tim Draper argues that Bitcoin contributes to the global economy. Cuban Govt is already on it(https://t.me/decryptedge/462). Tim Draper while speaking at the Collision web summit on Thursday, Draper said Bitcoin (BTC) could incentivize governments around the world to compete for the attention and devotion — and seemingly, money — of its citizens. According to the venture capitalist, crypto levels the playing field, so lawmakers will have to choose if they want to make people’s lives better, otherwise they will simply move to somewhere that will. “People are already realizing that they would rather have Bitcoin than fiat currency,” said Draper. “Bitcoin facilitates [a global economy] from the economic standpoint because it is a global currency — it doesn’t care where the borders are. It isn’t tied to one nationality or another.” Source | Cointelegraph.
Remember these are the current support levels we are now looking at: between 55K / 40K. $50500, $47500, $43500 and $41500.
As always wishing you a blessed weekend ahead, and remember must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. #Decryptedge,

#Bitcoin spent the weekend in the 46600-49500 range. A new ATH was set above 49800. A few hours ago there was an attempt to go below 46K, which was quickly redeemed, the price has since returned to 47100-47200, where it is currently being traded. Total Crypto…

The world of #computer #security in mourning the death of Dan Kaminsky. As Turkey Changes Tune on #Crypto Ban. Thoughts on the market on 26.04.2021
#Bitcoin updated its lows again at $46930 on #Binance exchange. This correction was quickly redeemed and bitcoin started to grow. At the time of writing this review, #Bitcoin is trading at around 52300. Total Crypto Market capitalization of $1.941 billion and BTC dominance index of 50.4%.
Stock markets opened higher. At the moment, futures for the S&P 500 are slightly positive, oil and gold are growing, Asian indices are trading in different directions.
Bitcoin worked out the priority version of the Saturday analysis and moved in the specified range over the weekend. Drain to 47K (46930 on #Binance) was quickly redeemed and Bitcoin moved to growth, now trying to gain a foothold above 52K.
I did warn several times that the weekend market may move by a couple of thousand points in any direction. If today we can gain a foothold above 53200-53500, then a movement to 55-57K is likely, if we go below 51K, we will return to the previous trading range of 48-51.
Interestingly after the ban Turkey promises to present cryptocurrency regulation rules within two weeks. The governor of Turkey’s central bank said Friday that the finance ministry plans to announce wide-reaching cryptocurrency regulations within two weeks. He ruled out any possibility of an outright ban. In the sharp turn of tune, the governor said “You can’t resolve anything simply by banning crypto, and we have no intention of doing so,” governor Şahap Kavacıoğlu said on the state-run TRT channel.While Kavacıoğlu did not specify what the forthcoming regulation would entail, he hinted that it would clarify the legal definition of “crypto”, and govern how institutions should store crypto.

One of the first Bitcoin code reviewers, Renowned American cybersecurity and cybersecurity researcher Dan Kaminski has died, aged 42. This was announced by white hacker and DEF CON conference organizer Mark Rogers. In 2011, Kaminski, already widely known for discovering a critical vulnerability in the DNS protocol, decided to hack #Bitcoin. The expert developed nine approaches and attacks against the #Bitcoin protocol, but none of them worked. “I've never seen anything like it. He is a world class programmer with deep knowledge of C ++. He understands economics, cryptography and peer-to-peer networks. Either it's a whole team, or this guy is a genius, ”Kaminski concluded. On a personal level I convey my heartfelt condolences. I have interacted with him on twitter a couple of times.
This evening at 8PM EAT we have a special session on #Blockchain meets #Realestate. The link is already up there..
