Bitcoin struggles to flip $38K to support, while UNI, IMX, VET and ALGO aim to push higher

Image
Bitcoin is facing resistance at $38,000, but UNI, IMX, VET and ALGO may extend their up-move in the short term. Bitcoin (BTC) rose above $38,000 on Nov. 24, but the bulls could not build upon this strength. This suggests hesitation to buy at higher levels. Bitcoin is on track to form a Doji candlestick pattern on the weekly chart for the second consecutive week. This signals indecision among the bulls and the bears about the next directional move. With Bitcoin maintaining near its 18-month high, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes retained his bullish stance. In a X (formerly Twitter) post, Hayes said that the United States dollar liquidity was increasing, which is likely to push Bitcoin higher. Crypto market data daily view.

PlanB expects Bitcoin to maintain an average price of at least $100,...

Swiss gov't supports cash referendum amid digital payment concerns

Switzerland ’s government will hold a national vote on whether to enshrine the availability of cash in the constitution amid concerns about the rise in digital currency, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. A group called the Swiss Freedom Movement collected over 100,000 signatures in support of a plebiscite to safeguard cash at a higher level — under Swiss democracy, a referendum must be held if more than 100,000 citizens sign. “We need to change the constitution so we can retain cash as freedom for the next generation,” Richard Koller, president of the Swiss Freedom Movement, said in February. Neither the Swiss government or the central bank have intentions to abandon cash. The European country holds the most cash per capita according to data from 2021. Meanwhile, officials are worried that the rise in digital payments will cause a ‘downward spiral’ on cash use. Swiss National Bank vice president Martin Schlegel said in a speech in November 2022 that “cash is a well-functioning ...

BTC price forms new support at $16.8K as Bitcoin lures 'mega whales'

Image
A new 100-week "point of control" is appearing below $17,000 as the age-old Bitcoin trading range endures. Bitcoin (BTC) could be busy forming fundamental support in its current tight trading range, the latest research suggests. In a tweet on Jan. 6, trading platform Trend Rider noticed that $16,800 is becoming an increasingly important BTC price support zone. Point of control establishing below $17,000? Bitcoin’s lack of volatility has led commentators to debate when a breakout could occur — and in what direction it could go. So far, however, the increasingly narrow trading range in place since the FTX saga in November remains in control. Now, on-chain analysis is hinting that, contrary to some beliefs, BTC/USD may not have further to fall in the current phase of the bear market. Trend Rider eyed the one-week chart to flag $16,800 as the current 100-week point of control (PoC) — the price level generating the largest volume in the specific period. The longer the period and...
