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.”
As always remember, you must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. Blessed day ahead. #Decryptedge.

#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

People’s #Bank of #China Warns: #Stablecoins Impose Risks to the International Monetary System as #EU Mulls #AML Authority and New Rules for #Crypto Transfers, Documents Suggest. Thoughts on the market 09. 01. 2021
Bitcoin lost support at 33K during the day, after which it went down, reaching a low of 32077 on the Binance Exchange. This correction was redeemed and the price is now back to about 33K where it is currently being traded. Total Crypto Market capitalization of $1.3 Trillion and BTC dominance index of 44.9%.
The stock market ended Thursday trading with a fall. The Dow Jones fell 0.75%, the S&P 500 lost 0.86%, and the NASDAQ fell 0.72%. The dollar index dropped 0.29% to 92.373. Gold and oil rose slightly.
With another negative on the crypto market coming from China again, Bitcoin could not gain a foothold above 34K and moved to a decline, having reached almost 32K, we pushed off and moved on to growth, now we are trying to gain a foothold above 33K. Altcoins followed suit with some losing 10 to 15%.
The drain was triggered by #FUD over another ban in China. At first, the Central Bank of China called bitcoin and stablecoins speculative instruments that threaten financial security and social stability. It was then followed by news about the blocking of #Binance exchange website. You now need to use a VPN to access their services.
Lest we forget since 2017 China has been scaring everyone with cryptocurrency bans. Notably and ironically, everything continues to work and each time there is a new FUD, it has less and less influence on the market. Miners are already deploying their farms in other countries where they will pay taxes, and the exchanges can also be accessed via VPN. In any case, only China will lose from these bans. In a recent interview, the ex-Chairman of Shanghai Bank and a current deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China – Fan Yifei – opined that stablecoins may harm the global financial stability and the present payment system: “Some commercial organizations’ so-called stablecoins, especially global stablecoins, may bring risks and challenges to the international monetary system, and payments and settlement system, etc.”
The top banker added that China’s central bank is “quite worried about this issue” as he asserted that the institution has taken measures in that direction. Yifei continued with his bashing comments and referred to these digital currencies as “speculation tools,” which have the potential to endanger financial and social security.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the resistance at 33000-33500, then we can again go to 32-31K. Growth and consolidation above 33K will open the way for 34 and above.
Lastly, the EU will create a new money laundering regulator and stricter cryptocurrency reporting requirements. According to documents seen by Reuters, the agency should become the “centrepiece” of an integrated supervisory system consisting also of national authorities. In the absence of a pan-European anti-money laundering body, the executive power in Brussels has so far relied mainly on national regulatory agencies to enforce its AML rules. Cooperation hasn’t always been satisfactory when it comes to stopping dirty money, the report notes. That’s why the authors of the documents insist: Money laundering, terrorist financing and organised crime remain significant problems which should be addressed at Union level.
Wishing you a great upcoming weekend. Tomorrow is our Bitcoin101. As always remember, you must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. Blessed day ahead. #Decryptedge

45% of Young #Investors aged 18 to 29 say their first Investment was in #Cryptocurrency as #Playboy Launches a #Miami #NFT. Thoughts on the market 12.07.2021
Bitcoin rolled aback to 33K over the weekend, reaching local lows of 33004 on the Binance. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around 34,300 with a dominance index of 45.3%. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.42 Trillion.
Stock markets opened in different directions. As of now, S&P 500 futures are down 0.17%. Gold, silver and oil are also falling. Asian indices are showing all the growth.
Bitcoin worked out Friday's review and was trading in the specified range. The maximum to which the price reached 34666 (Binance) is now trying to stay above 34500, the main support is being formed near the 33500 zone.
I am sure that many are tired of this market situation, but this is the reality and we need to gain strength to continue growing. I still think that soon we will have a good impulse and continued growth, so the action plan remains the same - we wait.
According to a UK survey, almost half (45%) of young Britons choose cryptocurrency for their first investment, and more than 50% of them have used borrowed money for this. The poll was conducted on 1,000 UK adults, aged 18 to 29, between 21 and 25 June 2021. Cryptocurrency exposure was broken down by bitcoin, Dogecoin and ‘other crypto assets’. Bitcoin was far and away the most popular cryptocurrency. A fifth of all 18 to 29-year-olds said they had invested in bitcoin at some point, with half of these turning to debt to fund it: 23% used a credit card, 17% used a student loan and 16% used another type of loan. Meanwhile, 27% of respondents admitted to using their credit card to invest in Dogecoin, 17% said they used their student loan and 12% cited another type of loan.
Lastly, Playboy magazine has released its own NFT collection. The shared news appeared via a tweet from the company's official twitter handle.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin can overcome the resistance at 35K, then it opens up to test the strength of 36000-36500 resistance level. If we leave and fix ourselves below 34K, then again we can test 33500-33000. My personal opinion, (biased view, subject to fail). As long as bulls didn't close above $36/$41 Daily/ weekly, BTC has a high probability to go below $30K! (breakout above these levels means bulls targeting CME GAP at $48K, then there will be another crash) For Mid /long term view, Market is the bearish cycle as long as BTC didn't close above $65K weekly!

As long as bulls didn't close above $36/$41 Daily/ weekly, BTC has a high probability to go below $30K! (breakout above these levels means bulls targeting CME GAP at $48K, then there will be another crash) For Mid /long term view, Market is the bearish cycle as long as BTC didn't close above $65K weekly!
Wishing you a good day ahead, remember you must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. Blessed day ahead. #Decryptedge.
Fear Greed Index at Tipping Point Levels! Thoughts on the market 13. 03. 2021.
Bitcoin maintained the range of 34680-32660 in the last 24hrs. We saw several attempts to gain a foothold above 34K, but were not successful and have gone down. At the time of writing this review, Bitcoin is trading at around 33,100 with a dominance index of 45.5%. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.36 Trillion.
The stock market ended Monday trading with growth. The Dow Jones rose 0.36%, reaching an all-time high, the S&P 500 rose 0.35%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.21%. Gold and oil are falling. The dollar index rose 0.13% to 92.237.
Bitcoin having not gained a foothold above 34K, it moved to a decline to 32658 on Binance exchange. We are now trying to stay at 33K. There is extreme fear in the market, the fear and greed index is at 20, the mood is exclusively short, the capitalization of the entire market has again dropped below 1.4 trillion. Back in March 2020, when the fear and greed index registered single digits we saw Bitcoin register its low price at $3,965. There is no positive at all and in order to break out of this sideways we need a breakout and consolidation above 36K.
Today it is very important to overcome the resistance at 34000, if we cannot do this, then we will go to 32K again, if we go even lower, then we will find ourselves at 30K, it is not too early to talk about a strait below 30K.
With all this negative, large investors continue to actively accumulate Bitcoin, and the balances of crypto exchanges are decreasing by 2,000 BTC daily. According to Santiment analysts, in early July, address holders with balances from 100 to 10,000 BTC increased their holdings by 60,000 BTC. What do you think, whose Bitcoins they bought and to whom will they sell them again at 60K? 😁

#Japanese Police Arrest 4 Men Allegedly Behind $55 Million #Crypto #Investment Scheme. Thoughts on the market 14. 07. 2021.
During the last 24hrs, Bitcoin continued to fall, to a price of $31650 on #Binance Exchange, now it has grown slightly and is trading at about 31900 with a dominance index of 46.1%. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.29 Trillion. Will write about my view on this.
The stock market ended Tuesday trading with a fall. The Dow Jones fell 0.31%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.35%, and the NASDAQ fell 0.38%. The volatility index rose 5.88% to 17.12. Gold and silver are on the rise. The dollar index rose 0.56% to 92.773.
With bitcoin losing its key support area of 33K yesterday, it continued its decline. Fear spread to the altcoin market as well, as a result of which most of the TOP fell by 10-15% and some fell even deeper. Ether fell below 2K and the lowest price of $1865. Market capitalization fell below 1.3 trillion dollars.
Plan for today. If today we cannot pass and gain a foothold at the level of 33,000, or better yet, 33,500, then let's go again to look for the bottom. Now the important support is at 30K, if we break through, then we can go back to 28K. Leaving and fixing above 33000-33500 will return us to 34K and above.
On #BTC dominance is an indication for a perfect buying opportunity for Alts. In the long term frame this dominance has been forming a falling wedge. Expect altcoins probably again to bleed more. Bad Luck for Alts always. It's their Fate Panic aside, the denouement is near. All this negative in no way cancels out growth in the medium term. We are waiting, now the fun begins.
Some news, four alleged masterminds of the “Oz Project” have been arrested after duping investors across Japan for at least four years. According to investigators, the scheme raked in $55 million from about 20,000 investors, promising 2.5 times returns in four months. Police in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, said Monday that four men have been arrested for defrauding investors in a cryptocurrency investment scheme called the “Oz Project.” The group had amassed at least 6 billion yen (approximately $55 million). According to local media, the number of victims is between 10,000 and 20,000. They allegedly lured investors by promising them that their crypto investments would increase 2.5 times in four months. Investigators suspected that the group began duping people four years ago, holding seminars across Japan. The group allegedly told investors that their funds would be invested in cryptocurrency using an automated AI trading system, which in fact did not exist. Source: Bitcoin.com

#US: #CBDC Report Coming in Early September as #BlackRock CEO Says Company Sees Very Little Demand On #Crypto. Thoughts on the market 15. 07. 2021
#Bitcoin was moving in the range of 33100-31500 during the day. The correction to 31K was quickly redeemed and Bitcoin moved to growth, at the time of writing the review, Bitcoin is trading at about 32,700 and a dominance index of 45.8%. Total Crypto Market capitalization of $1.340 Trillion.
The stock market finished trading on Wednesday in different directions. The Dow Jones climbed 0.13%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.12%, and the NASDAQ fell 0.22%. Gold Futures for August delivery was up 1.03% or 18.65 to $ 1,828.55 a troy ounce. The dollar index dropped 0.44% to 92.352.
Bitcoin yesterday failed to gain a foothold above the resistance of 33K and moved to a low price of 31550 on #Binance exchange was reached. What followed was a rebound to above 33K and again a fall to 32K where we are trading at the moment. We continue to move in the same wide range.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin does not return above the resistance level of 33K, then this may give rise to a new sell off, the main support is now at 31500, if we break it, then we can go to 30K. Leaving and consolidating above 33,000 will provide opportunities for new growth.
At the backdrop of some news, $ 9.49 trillion asset manager and CEO of BlackRock Lawrence Fink says the company sees no demand for the cryptocurrency. According to the Bloomberg Terminal, Laurence Fink, the chief of the BlackRock asset management fund shared with the media that the company does not see any significant demand from institutional investors for digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or other top 10 cryptocurrencies. U.Today previously reported Fink stated that Bitcoin may become a store of value; however, there are some issues that may make this unlikely to happen. As possible barriers to that, he mentioned a small market for Bitcoin: high volatility and the fact that it is still untested.
Lastly, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States, Jerome Powell, said that the country is working on a publisher’s report on digital currencies. The incoming report would focus on digital payments “broadly.” Per his words, this also includes stablecoins, crypto-assets, and central bank digital currencies (#CBDCs). We’re going to address digital payments broadly. It means stablecoins, it means crypto-assets, it means a CBDC. That whole group of issues and payment mechanisms, which we think is really at a critical point in terms of regulations.
Wil be looking forward to this. Source Yahoo | U.Today.

PayPal increases Weekly Cryptocurrency Purchase Limit Fivefold to $100,000 as Jack Dorsey Announces Bitcoin-Focused Business Division at Square.Thoughts on the market 16.07.2021
Bitcoin moved in the range of 33180-31130 during the day. An attempt to gain a foothold above 32K yesterday did not lead to success and Bitcoin went down. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at around 31,900 with a dominance index of 45.5%. Total Crypto Market capitalization $1.3 Trillion.
The stock market finished trading on Thursday in different directions. The Dow Jones climbed 0.15%, the S&P 500 fell 0.33%, and the NASDAQ fell 0.70%. Gold and silver are up, oil is slightly lower. The USD Index rose 0.19% to 92.578.
There is no particular positive on the crypto market either. Bitcoin continued its decline, the minimum to which was reached was 31133 on #Binance Exchange , now we are gradually growing back. There is no positive, and if there is, we will feel it either at the end of August or at the beginning of September, so the only correct decision in such a market is to remain calm and not give in to panic.
The plan for today is the same as yesterday. If Bitcoin does not return above the resistance level of 33K, then again we will start looking for the bottom, the main support is now at 31200, if we break it, then we can go to 30K. Leaving and consolidating above 33,000 will provide opportunities for new growth.
PayPal now increases the cryptocurrency purchase limit to $ 100,000 per week. The company said the move was aimed at giving users "more choice and flexibility when buying cryptocurrency." Source | Cointelegraph.
Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey has announced plans to create a new development platform with a focus on Bitcoin. In a tweet, Dorsey wrote that the new service will be a subset of Square, alongside Tidal, Seller, and Cash App, and will facilitate "non-custodial, permissionless, and decentralized financial services" with a focus on Bitcoin.
Some other news, Binance, which has come under fire for its compliance standards in recent weeks, has been shut out of activity in Italy now, according to that country’s market watchdog, Consob, Reuters reported. A Binance spokesperson said the company didn’t work out of Italy anyway and the company wants to collaborate with regulators, according to Reuters.
Lastly Bitcoin may be a “scam” for former United States President Donald Trump, but the former Treasury Secretary appears to have made a U-turn on the world’s first and best-known cryptocurrency. Mnuchin: Bitcoin stance has “evolved a little” “I think my view has evolved a little bit, but it is pretty consistent,” he told the network. “The first part of it is I think the underlying technology of blockchain is really incredible and has lots of different things, particularly in fintech and finance. I think as it relates to Bitcoin — if people want to buy Bitcoin as a substitute, no different from buying gold or some other asset — it’s fine.”
