UK watchdog bans cryptocurrency exchange Binance US Fed Official Calls T(USDT) Tether a ‘Challenge’ to Financial Stability. Thoughts on the Crypto Market 28. 06. 2021
Bitcoin moved in the range of 31970-34970 during the day. Breaking through the 35K resistance has not yet led to success and Bitcoin has gone down yet again. At the time of writing this review, the main cryptocurrency is trading at around 34,400 with a dominance index 47.1% and total Crypto Market capitalisation of $1.3 Trillion.
Stock markets opened higher. At the moment, futures for the S&P 500 are slightly positive, Asian indices are trading in different directions, gold and silver have added.
Bitcoin had a pretty tumultuous weekend as it should be. On Saturday and Sunday, it traded around 30K, reaching a local low at 30151 (Binance), this morning began a sharp recovery to a high of 34972 Binance. Altcoins are shooting selectively, Ethereum reached 2K and is now trading around $ 1980.
In general, nothing new and interesting, you have to write the same thing. But I am sure that this sluggish sideways trend will end soon and long-awaited growth awaits us, a lot of positive events are scheduled for July-August, we just need to wait.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the resistance at 35000-35500, then we can again go to 34000-33000, leaving below 33K will open the way to 30K. Growth and consolidation above 35K will give an opportunity to test the strength of 36K and above.
Eric Rosengren, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, called the stablecoin Tether USDT a "challenge to financial stability" on Friday, June 25. In a slide presentation Friday, Eric Rosengren, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, listed Tether among the “financial stability challenges” the U.S. central bank is watching. Rosengren included the stablecoin among what he termed “new disruptors” to short-term credit markets.

South Africa Bars Transfer of Locally Acquired Cryptocurrencies to Overseas Exchanges, Offenders Face Jail Time. Rich Dad, Poor Dad Author Says A Crash is Coming. Thoughts on the market 29 . 06. 2021
Bitcoin moved in the range of 33860-35300 during the day with several attempts to gain a foothold above 35K, but have not yet yielded results. At the time of writing this review,Bitcoin is trading at around 34,700, dominance index of 46.2%. Total Crypto Market capitalization stands at $1.4 Trillion.
The stock market finished trading on Monday in different directions. The Dow Jones fell 0.44%, the S&P 500 rose 0.23%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.98%. Gold and silver rose, oil fell. The dollar index rose 0.05% to 91.888.
On the cryptomarket, we continue to move sideways, 36K is still the main resistance, a breakdown and consolidation above which will open the way for us at 40K.
The plan for today is the same as yesterday. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the resistance at 35000-35500, then we can go back to 34-33K. Growth and consolidation above 35K will give an opportunity to test the strength of 36000-36500 and above. Major support levels 34500-33200, resistance levels 35000-35500
The author of the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Robert Kiyosaki called for buying bitcoin before "the biggest crash in history" On his Tweet he said “ The best time to prepare for a crash is before the crash. The biggest crash in world history is coming. The good news is the best time to get rich is during a crash. Bad news is the next crash will be a long one. Get more gold, silver, and Bitcoin while you can. Take care.”
London-based TSB Bank, which is owned by Spanish banking giant Banco Sabadell, wants to ban cryptocurrency purchases. Cryptocurrency fraud is the main issue that influenced this decision, according to a bank spokesperson. The ban might also have been prompted by the Financial Conduct Authority banning Binance Markets Limited from operating in the country last week. It's worth noting that all products and services offered by the Binance crypto exchange are still fully accessible in the U.K. 849 TSB customers lost money on Binance in the span of one month.
Lastly, fresh reports from South Africa suggest that the transfer of locally acquired cryptocurrencies to overseas crypto exchanges will now be subject to the country’s exchange control regulations. Consequently, transactions where an individual purchases crypto assets in South Africa and uses them to externalize “any right to capital” will be deemed a criminal offense. According to a Mybroadband report, this new interpretation of the country’s exchange control regulations is contained in the FAQ document recently published by the Intergovernmental Fintech Working Group (IFWG), a body that is composed of South Africa’s financial regulators. In the document, regulators explained:
Exchange Control Regulation 10(1)(c) prohibits transactions where capital or the right to capital is, without permission from the National Treasury, directly or indirectly exported from South Africa. The IFWG document adds that individuals in contravention of these regulations face a financial penalty of over $17,500 (250,000 rand) and possibly up to five years in prison. Source news.bitcoin. How this shall be implemented is a wonder, owing to the fact one cannot trace a cryptocurrency address transaction by location.
Kenyan authorities stemming from CBK have frustrated Debit/Credit Card Purchase of Cryptocurrencies too on the Binance P2P platforms.

64 #Cryptocurrency Firms Have Withdrawn Applications to Operate in UK, #FCA Says as #Hydropower plants go on sale in #China amid mining crackdown and #Bitcoin Slump. Thoughts on the market 30. 06. 2021
Bitcoin moved in the range of 34200-36600 during the day. There were several attempts to gain a foothold above 36K, but did not succeed. As at the time of writing this review, #Bitcoin is trading around 35,100 with dominance index 46.2%. Total Crypto Market capitalization is $1.4 Trillion.
The stock market ended Tuesday trading with growth. The Dow Jones rose 0.03%, the S&P 500 rose 0.03%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.19%. Gold falls, oil continues to rise. The dollar index rose 0.19% to 92.047.
On the #cryptomarket, the option with fixing above 35K worked, the price even broke through the resistance zone at 36K and reached 36600 on Binance exchange from where a sell off began. Now we are trying to maintain at 35K. Altcoins reached mirrored Bitcoin growth with some showing growth of 20% or more. We continue to move in the same wide range, for growth we need a breakout and consolidation above 40K, then we can talk about the beginning of an upward movement.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the resistance at 36000-36500, then again we will go to 35-34K. Growth and consolidation above 36K will give an opportunity to test the strength of 37000-38000.
In China, they began to sell small hydroelectric power plants against the backdrop of tough measures against miners. As reported by the South China Morning Post. The number of advertisements on Xianyu, a popular second-hand e-commerce platform, for small scale hydro plants with capacity of around 50 megawatts, has increased since the mining crackdown began in May. Some plants are in southwestern Sichuan province, an area in China with abundant water resources that can provide cheap electricity and where 26 bitcoin mining operations were ordered to shut down last week.
Lastly, a growing number of crypto firms in the U.K. are withdrawing their applications to register with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Around 64 firms have already withdrawn their applications. Under the current crypto regulation, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is responsible for ensuring crypto companies’ compliance with laws on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. Companies wanting to provide crypto-related services in the U.K. must register with the FCA before conducting business. Source news.bitcoin.com

$6 Billion #NCR Opens #Bitcoin Purchases To 650 #Banks And Credit Unions. Thoughts on the Crypto Market 01. 07. 2021.
#Bitcoin yesterday could not hold 35K and moved to a decline to the price of 34017 on #Binance exchange where it is currently being traded. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.4 Trillion and BTC dominance index of 45.4%.
The stock market finished trading on Wednesday in different directions. The Dow Jones climbed 0.61%, the S&P 500 rose 0.21%, and the NASDAQ lost 0.17%. The volatility index fell 1.19% to 15.83. Gold and oil are growing. The dollar index rose 0.34% to 92.350
With Bitcoin being unable to overcome the resistance and gain a foothold above 36K, it went down, reaching the designated level of 34K. We pushed off and moved on to growth, but couldn't hold due to a sell off again . We are now trying to stay at 34K. Altcoins have returned to life, some are showing growth even against the backdrop of Bitcoin correction.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the resistance at 35200-35500, then again we will go to 34K and even 32K. Let me remind you as we are on an active down trend. Growth and consolidation above 35K will make it possible to retest 36000-36500.
650 U.S. banks will soon be able to offer bitcoin purchases to an estimated 24 million total customers. As part of the deal between enterprise payments giant NCR and digital-asset management firm NYDIG, community banks, including North Carolina-based First Citizens Bank, and credit unions, including Bay Federal Credit Union in California, will be able to offer their clients cryptocurrency trading through mobile applications built by the payments provider. As reported by forbes.com
Instead of having to deal with the burdensome regulatory requirements related to actually holding the cryptocurrency for their customers, the financial institutions that opt to make the service available will rely on Nydig’s custody services. The effort is the latest by Atlanta-based NCR to capitalize on demand it’s seeing from banks and credit unions tired of seeing crypto purchases made from their accounts to outside exchanges. By providing these clients a way to buy bitcoin—and eventually spend it—within their existing accounts, the traditional financial institutions are part of a rising tide of those companies in direct competition with cryptocurrency exchanges. “We're firm believers in the benefits of crypto and the strategic application,” says NCR president of digital banking Douglas Brown. “And that's true for our banking relationships, as evidenced by Nydig, and across retailers as well as restaurants and the like.”
NCR Corporation is a leader in omni-channel solutions, with its software, hardware, and portfolio of services, enabling nearly 700 million transactions daily across the financial, retail, hospitality, travel, telecom and technology industries globally. I am certain you may have seen the logo on your ATM. One of the photos is a tweet from @Coopbankenya shows NCR Cassette Engineer Samuel Kimotho Irungu and Service Manager Coop House Branch Justina Musyimi testing ATM cassettes for the dispense of new currency notes across ATMs countrywide back in June 2019.

#Billioniare #Shutterstock Founder Jon Oringer Bought the Latest #Bitcoin Dip as Top U.S. diplomat hopes El Salvador, #IMF will settle #bitcoin row. Thoughts on the market 2.07.2021
Bitcoin yesterday lost support at 34K and went down, to a low price of 32711 on Binance and at the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around 33K with a dominance index of 45.6% and total CryptoMarket Capitalization of $1.36Trillion.
The stock market ended Thursday trading with growth. The Dow Jones rose 0.38%, the S&P 500 rose 0.52%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.13%. Gold Futures for August delivery was up 0.29% to 1.776.75 a troy ounce. The dollar index rose 0.15% to 92.567.
We continue to fall on the crypto market. Active down trend and as mentioned in the review yesterday, if we cannot gain a foothold above 35K, then we will begin to decline, and so it happened. We continue to move in the same wide range, for growth we need a breakout and consolidation above 36-38K.
Now the main thing is to remain calm, not to panic and in no case not to sell, let them weak hands sell at this price. FYI: Consider 25-20K to be the bottom. Until you sell Bitcoin cheaper than you bought it, you have no loss, now you just need to wait or buy - this is the best time, which you should definitely take advantage of.
Plan for today. If we cannot return above 34000, or better 34500, then we can continue moving down to 32000 and 30,000. Leaving and consolidating above 34000-34500 will open the way to 35000-36500.
Lastly to some news, the US has warned El Salvador about the need to "effectively regulate" bitcoin. US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland discussed the law passed by El Salvador to recognize bitcoin as legal tender with President Nayyib Bukele. During her visit to the Latin American country, Nuland noted the need for clear rules for the cryptocurrency. “As I suggested to the president, no matter what choice El Salvador makes, it is necessary to ensure that it is effectively regulated, transparent, accountable, and you protect yourself from intruders,” the diplomat said at a press conference.
Shutterstock CEO John Oringer has invested in Bitcoin. In an interview with Bloomberg, Oringer, who moved to Miami last fall, which is working on becoming a crypto hub of the world, actually “bought some of the dip” that recently saw bitcoin price experiencing a drawdown of more than 50% and Ether over 66%. “I think this is an interesting time for cryptocurrencies (and) these instruments are here to stay. As people and businesses start to figure out how to build infrastructure on top of blockchain, that's where it really becomes interesting.” Source.

#Digitization of #Money is an “Inevitable Trend” Vietnamese PM claims. Thoughts on the Market 05.07. 2021
#Bitcoin moved in the range of 34360-35970 over the weekend. There was one attempt to break through the resistance at 36K, but it did not happen and at the time of writing the review, it’s trading around 34,250 and BTC dominance index of 44.9%. Total Crypto Market capitalization stands at $1.43 Trillion.
Stock markets opened in different directions. At the moment, futures for the S&P 500 are in a slight minus, Asian indices also show multidirectional dynamics, gold and silver are growing.
Everything was fine on the crypto market over the weekend. It was able to overcome the resistance at 35K and went further, but the strength at 36K was not enough and a sell off began from this level, now we are trying to hold on to 34K. Altcoins have shown steady growth, and now they are holding up quite well. The dominance index continues to fall, which means that altcoins will continue to shoot up.
Plan for today. If we cannot stay above 34K, then we can go back to 32-31K, leaving and fixing above 35K will give an opportunity for growth by 36-37K. Major resistance levels are 35-36K and support at 34-32K.
Lastly to some news, Vietnam gives the green light to cryptocurrency. According to a July 4 report by The Phnom Penh Post, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chin has asked the country's central bank to try out the blockchain-based cryptocurrency over the next two years. The initiative is part of the PM’s e-Government development strategy. Chinh—the 62-year-old leader of the country’s leading Communist Party—believes that digital money is “an inevitable trend.” Apart from crypto, Vietnam will also focus on implementing such cutting-edge technologies as big data, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality. Vietnam imposed a ban on Bitcoin payments all the way back in 2017. Source: Utoday.

UK Bank Barclays Blocks Payments to #Binance as Ransomware Group REvil Strikes Again, Demands $70M in Bitcoin From 200 US Firms. Thoughts on the market 06.07.2021
Yesterday, Bitcoin lost support at 34K and moved to a decline to a low price of 33125 on #Binance exchange. At the time of writing the review we are trading at 34500 with BTC dominance index of 44.7% and a total crypto market capitalization of $1.44 Trillion.
The stock market ended Monday trading with growth. The Dow Jones rose 0.44%, the S&P 500 rose 0.75%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.81%. Gold and silver continue to rise. The dollar index dropped 0.30% to 92.138.
On the crypto market, we continue to move in the same wide range, for growth we need a breakout and consolidation above 36K, then we can talk about a move to 40K and above. Until then, we have to write the same thing. The plan for today is the same as yesterday. If we cannot stay above 34K, then we can again go to 33-32K, leaving and fixing above 35K will give an opportunity for growth by 36-37K. We just have to wait.
Ransomware Group REvil Strikes Again, Demands $70M in Bitcoin From 200 US Firms. The Russian-based ransomware group is now demanding bitcoin in exchange for a decrypter for the infected machines. "On Friday we launched an attack on [managed service providers]," a post from the dark web site Happy Blog reads. "More than a million systems were infected." In May, REvil attacked Colonial Pipeline and managed to get the company to pay a $5 million ransom after its functionality and services were restricted, sparking a gas crisis in the U.S. JBS Holdings, the world’s largest meat company by sales, also paid an $11 million ransom in a May 30 attack against it by the same group.

Lastly, U.K. bank Barclays said Monday it is blocking customers from using their debit and credit cards to make payments to crypto exchange Binance. "With effect from today, Barclays intends to stop credit and debit card payments to Binance," Barclays said in an email to CoinDesk. "This action does not impact on the ability for customers to withdraw funds from Binance." The bank has been contacting customers who have used their cards on Binance this year advising them that it is stopping payments until further notice, according to tweets. The decision follows shortly after the U.K’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced that Binance was not allowed to conduct any regulated activities in the country. Responding via the official and verified twitter account: @BarclaysUKHelp wrote “Hi there. It’s our responsibility to help protect your money. With this in mind we’ve taken the decision to stop payments made by credit/debit card to #Binance until further notice, to help keep your money safe. We're sorry for any disruption this may cause.”

#China’s war on #Bitcoin just Hit a New Level With its Latest Crypto Crackdown & Binance Suspends Euro Deposits Via Bank Transfers Amid Regulatory Scrutiny.
Thoughts on the market 07. 07. 2021
Bitcoin moved in the range of 35120-33520 during the day, it's more of a consolidation really. Corrections to 33K were quickly redeemed and Bitcoin moved to growth, at the time of writing the review, it is trading at around 34,750 with a dominance index of 45.2%. Total Crypto Market capitalization stands at $1.43 Trillion.
The stock market finished trading on Tuesday in different directions. The Dow Jones fell 0.60%, the S&P 500 fell 0.20%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.17%. Gold Futures for August delivery was up 0.77% to 1.797.05 a troy ounce. The USD Index was up 0.14% to 92.543.
Everything was fine on the crypto market, Bitcoin was able to stay above 34K and even broke through the resistance at 35K and daily high attained on Binance. #China came out later with another ban that triggered a sell off, which drove the price to 33532, details on the news. For now, we have returned 34K and will soon be testing 35K for strength, so we continue to move in the same range.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the resistance at 35K, then we can again go to 33 and even 32K, leaving and fixing above 35K will give an opportunity to test the levels 36000-36500.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has reaffirmed its anti-cryptocurrency stance and shut down a local virtual currency software company. Regulators also warned that organizations in China are prohibited from supporting activities related to digital assets, and financial institutions from conducting transactions with them. As reported by markets.businessinsider.com Beijing Qudao Cultural Development closed its doors on the orders of a Beijing office of China's central bank, which said the company had facilitated crypto transactions via the software services it offered. The People's Bank of China said in a statement that it took the action "to prevent and control the risk of speculation in virtual currency transactions, and protect the safety of the public's assets," the report said. The central bank office also warned that companies in Beijing are not permitted to encourage crypto trading in any way. In particular, it noted they are banned from providing physical trading venues and crypto-related services, and from promoting cryptocurrencies through commercial displays or advertisements.
Lastly, Binance has suspended euro deposits through the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) due to events that are “outside” of its control, according to an email sent to its customers. As reported by UTODAY, Due to events beyond our control, we are temporarily suspending EUR deposits via SEPA Bank Transfers from 8 am UTC on July 7, 2021. Binance claims that it’s working with its partners to resolve the problem. Customers will still be able to make euro deposits to the cryptocurrency exchange via credit cards and debit cards. The suspension of bank transfers comes amid increasing regulatory scrutiny faced by Binance from regulators around the world. Yesterday (https://t.me/decryptedge/620 ) Barclays banned cardholders from conducting payments to the exchange.
With this string of FUD, and the active downward trend it's more fuel and validation for our 25-20K to be the bottom price of BTC(https://t.me/decryptedge/615)

#Visa Reports over $1 billion in #Crypto Spending in H1 2021 and #Israel Creates 1st Ever Parliamentary #NFT for New President Isaac Herzog. Thoughts on the market 08. 07. 2021
#Bitcoin yesterday tried to gain a foothold above 35K, but did not succeed and instead moved to a decline finding base at 33066. As at the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at 33,250 with a dominance index of 44.2% and total crypto market capitalization of $1.4 Trillion.
The stock market ended Wednesday trading with growth. The Dow Jones rose 0.30%, the S&P 500 rose 0.34%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.01%. The dollar index rose 0.18% to 92.707. Gold and silver dipped slightly.
The old story continues on the cryptomarket, the movement is still in the same range. Today I caught myself thinking that reviews on such a market can be released once a week because you have to write the same thing. But as seasons change, come and go for the last 1 billion years, this period of Bitcoin compression shall not be forever, and after the accumulation phase. The continuation of the growth phase awaits us eventually with and after some shade off.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the resistance at 34K, then we can go back to 32K and below, leaving and fixing above 34K will give an opportunity to test the level at 35K and above.
In an official statement on Wednesday, Visa said that in the first half of 2021, the volume of card transactions added more than $ 1 billion. As reported by cointelegraph, Payment giant Visa will continue connecting the crypto economy to its “network of networks” to support the broader digital transformation of financial services. The company noted that Visa is partnering with 50 major companies in the crypto industry as well as crypto card programs enabling users to convert and spend digital currency at 70 million merchants worldwide. Visa made a major move into the crypto industry last year, partnering with Goldman Sachs-backed blockchain company Circle in order to make its USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin compatible with certain credit cards. The company has since reaffirmed its commitment to crypto payments and fiat on-ramps, as well as its particular focus on stablecoin-based integrations.
Lastly, Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog was sworn in by the NFT. Shortly before his inauguration on Wednesday, the Duke received a one-of-a-kind NFT with a copy of the original oath signed by his late father, sixth Israelite Chaim Herzog. The Knesset on Wednesday joined the international trend of creating an NFT – a non-fungible token, or unique digital information package – for new President Isaac Herzog, in honor of his swearing-in. The technology used by the Knesset is a special type of cryptographic protocol, which represents a unique digital asset. Unlike currencies such as Bitcoin and other tokens, an NFT is, by definition, non-fungible and unique. In recent months, NFTs have become one of the biggest sensations in the art world; artist Mike Winkelmann recently sold an NFT for a record price of $69.3 million, the third-highest price ever for a work by a living artist. Although creating the file cost several hundred shekels, the worldwide success of NFTs could boost its value to millions of dollars. Source jpost.com
