Bitcoin price in flux: Bulls target $11.5K, bears desire drop to $9.8K

As Bitcoin price consolidates, bulls target $11.5K and bears expect a drop below $9.8K.

Bitcoin (BTC) price appears to be gearing up for another shot at the $11K mark but traders shouldn’t get overly excited as resistance in the $11,000-$11,200 zone and at $11,389 have kept the price from moving higher for the last few weeks.

Currently the Crypto Fear & Greed Index registers 49 which shows crypto investors feel neutral about the current state of the market. While it’s difficult to gauge the accuracy of the indicator, Bitcoin price and volume have been relatively flat as the price is basically pinned between $9,900-$11,200.

As the daily chart shows, since Sept. 18 Bitcoin price has bounced between the trendlines of the symmetrical triangle and if the compression continues investors will start to look for a decisive move to occur in the coming week.  

In the event that the price drops from the symmetrical triangle the volume profile visible range (VPVR) shows buying interest from $9,950 to $9,200 and looking back to Sept. 3 through Sept. 10 bulls consistently purchased dips below $10,000. 

As mentioned in a previous analysis, for the moment it seems that traders are waiting on Bitcoin price to make a stronger move above $11,500 or below $9,800 before becoming more engaged with the market. 

DeFi tokens fall flat as Bitcoin price consolidates

While Bitcoin price has held a relatively stable range, DeFi tokens appear to have lost their bullish momentum. 

At the time of writing CoinGecko’s Top 100 DeFi Coins index shows that 45 of the 100 listed tokens have registered losses in the past 24-hours and Uniswap data shows volume has declined when compared to the $953 million record reached on Sept. 1.

Even top DeFi darlings like Yearn.finance (YFI), Aave (LEND), and Chainlink (LINK) have corrected sharply in the last month and traders will note that YFI is currently down 43% from its all-time high at $44,000. 

Some analysts have suggested that the profits and funds invested in DeFi protocols are steadily making their way back into Bitcoin but data is yet to support this narrative.

As Bitcoin and DeFi tokens search for momentum, altcoins managed to accrue marginal gains. At the time of writing, Ether (ETH) is up 0.50%, Binance Coin (BNB) has added 5.19%, and Cosmos (ATOM) rallied 8.39%.  

According to CoinMarketCap, the overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $346.5 billion and Bitcoin’s dominance index is currently at 57.6%.

DeFi isn’t dead, it just needs to fix these 3 critical problems

It’s been a rough year for DeFi, and it may not get any better until projects focus more on security, regulation and usability. The persistent challenges  decentralized finance  face have been well documented by a handful of analysts and the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem re-enforced the fact that something is critically wrong with DeFi. I think DeFi today is completely broken for 99% of the population. The promise of a more transparent financial system has been overtaken by greed. UST/LUNA is just the latest in a string of bad developments: — Peter Yang (@petergyang) May 11, 2022 Let's take a look at what experts say DeFi needs to do in order to have another revival.  Improved usability To date, the promise of open and uncensored access to a global decentralized financial system has been largely hampered by the complicated interface, confusing multi-step staking processes and lack of clarity surrounding the yields on various tokens. What do you thi...

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

The CFTC-linked self-regulatory organization (SRO) has disclosure rules for members engaging in activities with BTC and ETH; now, standards of conduct are being added. The National Futures Association (NFA), the United States self-regulatory organization for derivatives markets, has issued a new compliance rule addressing members’ conduct. The new rule complements requirements issued in 2018. The NFA has “well over 100” members that engage in activities with digital asset commodities, but no way to address fraud or misconduct committed by those members, the organization explained to secretary of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Kirkpatrick in a Feb. 28 letter as it submitted the proposed new rule for approval. The new rule is modelled on the NFA’s antifraud rules for exchange traded futures and swaps transaction and retail foreign exchange. The NFA is the only registered self-regulatory organization that has delegated authority from the CFTC, giving it a...
