Top Trader Says Bitcoin Bottom Is In, Plots New BTC All-Time High in March

img-ads

A closely-followed crypto strategist whose credibility in the crypto space rose after nailing Bitcoin’s collapse in March 2020 says he expects BTC to bottom out and print a new all-time high in the coming weeks.

In a new tweetstorm, the analyst known in the industry as Capo looks at a number of technical indicators to show why he believes Bitcoin has carved a bottom.

The trader explains that the steep decline in Bitcoin’s open interest, which refers to the number of contracts held by market participants, is bullish for the leading cryptocurrency,

“Same as the other time (January drop), open interest (OI) has dropped with the price. Late longs got rekt. This drop on the OI due to late longs liquidations mostly, has helped the funding rates to reset. Also, shorts are trapped. They think price hasn’t reached its bottom, so they are shorting the bounce, causing the funding to tend to be negative (bullish).”

Capo also highlights that a concealed divergence on both the Ethereum and Bitcoin charts between the assets’ relative strength index (RSI) and price may indicate that momentum is swinging to the side of the bulls.

“BTC and ETH RSI is forming hidden bullish divergences again, on the high timeframes. This divergence means trend continuation when confirmed. Pivot (invalidation) for BTC: weekly candle close below $33,000. Confirmation for BTC: weekly close above $57,000.”

In addition, the crypto analyst notes that whales are buying the BTC dip, suggesting that the largest crypto holders are building a new base for the next leg up.

“Institutions/whales keep accumulating at these levels. Coinbase Pro outflows going up like crazy.”

With Bitcoin gearing up for the next phase of the bull cycle, Capo believes that the leading crypto asset will skyrocket to a new all-time high of around $80,000 before the end of March.

“BTC new potential range between $60,000 and $42,000. Target after consolidation above the range high: about $80,000.”

NBA Top Shot leads NFT explosion with $230M in sales

Dapper Labs, the creator of the CryptoKitties game, is helping the National Basketball Association, or NBA, become a magnet for digital collectibles. 

NBA Top Shot, a marketplace for non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, has generated over $230 million in sales, according to Dapper Labs. NBA Top Shot is built on Dapper’s Flow blockchain, allowing users to purchase “packs” that feature in-game moments. With packs almost always sold out, a secondary marketplace is the only way for users to access specific moments.

Recently, a LeBron James highlight sold for $200,000. A Zion Williamson spotlight sold for around the same amount.

NFTs, which exist entirely on the blockchain, are revolutionizing the traditional model of trading cards. In the case of NFTs, the value of a particular moment is governed by the same laws of supply and demand, though ownership is entirely digital. The blockchain also…

OLB Group enables crypto payments for thousands of US merchants

OLB Group (OLB), a New York-based e-commerce merchant service provider, is making it easier for businesses to accept cryptocurrency payments.

OLB’s more than 8,500 merchants are now able to accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC and DAI at the point-of-sale through the company’s OmniSoft business management platform. Customers wishing to pay with cryptocurrency in-store or through their mobile phones can simply elect to do so with their cryptocurrency wallets. All payments are processed through SecurePay, a payment gateway that authenticates the transaction, converts the cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars and approves the final sale.

The decision to integrate cryptocurrency payments was partly driven by the growth of contactless and online orders during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the OmniSoft platform already providing merchants with several options to facilitate payments, cryptocurrencies were the next logical step. 

Ronny Yakov, OLB Group’s CEO, says the payment gateway and point-of-sale architecture are “familiar territory for…

Transparent stablecoins? Conclusion of Tether vs. NYAG raises new questions

A long-standing legal drama finally found resolution on Feb. 23, with the New York Attorney General’s office announcing that it had come to a settlement with cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex after a 22-month inquiry into whether the company had been trying to cover up its losses — touted to be worth $850 million — by misrepresenting the degree to which its Tether (USDT) reserves were backed by fiat collateral.

According to the terms of the announced settlement, which now marks an end to the inquiry that was initiated by the NYAG back in Q1 2019, Bitfinex and Tether will pay the government body a fixed sum of $18.5 million but will not be required to admit to any wrongdoing. That being said, the settlement clearly states that henceforth, Bitfinex and Tether can no longer service customers in the state of New York.

Furthermore, over the course of the…

Dogecoin hasn’t always been a ‘fun meme coin’

Dogecoin (DOGE) might look like a fun meme coin, particularly as its price has absolutely skyrocketed in 2021.

But behind the innocent Shiba Inu dog cartoon are some horrific stories. Those buying the cryptocurrency due to shilling and jokes from Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, most likely have no idea of DOGE’s early days.

The early days

Introduced by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in December 2013, Dogecoin’s protocol followed Luckycoin and Litecoin (LTC) proof-of-work algorithm using Scrypt technology.

It all started back on Christmas day, 2013, when Dogewallet announced that its webpage had been compromised, causing users to send funds to the hacker’s address. The $12,000 worth of users’ coins lost was fully reimbursed by Dogecoin Foundation Board Member Ben Doernberg, which included community-funded donations.

Professional traders need a global crypto sea, not hundreds of lakes

Coinbase’s IPO announcement has been hailed as “a milestone for the crypto industry” by Fortune Magazine. Similar to the Netscape IPO announcement that signaled the legitimacy of the internet, Coinbase’s impending public offering signals to the public at large that cryptocurrency trading is legitimate, legal and secure in the eyes of the Securities and Exchange Commission. And now, investors have an opportunity to own stock on the largest crypto trading platform in the United States.

As a result, many see an investment in Coinbase as an investment in the future of crypto trading. It is the highest volume U.S. crypto exchange, with three times the volume of its next closest U.S. competitor. The largest of anything in the U.S. must be the world leader. Except, it’s not. And conventional wisdom and current market realities are very far apart.
