Expect Bitcoin to Break $14,000 Once Altcoin Bleeding Ends: Analyst

It’s been a brutal past few days and weeks for altcoins despite Bitcoin’s strength. Top digital assets aside from BTC have plunged a handful of percent, even dozens of percent, against the U.S. dollar, even as Bitcoin hits new year-to-date highs.

This divergence has shocked many investors in the space, especially those that entered the altcoin market late this summer. This pain may eventually end, though, an analyst noted. This same individual added that this may coincide with BTC breaking $14,000.

Bitcoin to Break $14,000 Once Altcoin Hemorrhaging Ends

Bitcoin analyst “Light,” who is celebrated by fund managers like Su Zhu of Three Arrows Capital, thinks that Bitcoin could soon break above $14,000 once the market sell-off ends:

“BTC is behaving in an incredibly strong fashion, up 0.9% l24hrs while alts hemorrhage and derisking continues in equities. Expect it to break $14,000 after the bloodletting runs its course.”

$14,000 has long been a critical technical level for the leading cryptocurrency. It almost perfectly marked the highs of 2019’s rally, and also is in the vicinity of where Bitcoin closed its yearly candle at the end of 2017. Bitcoin moving above, then closing on a notable time frame on $14,000 will likely suggest the cryptocurrency will move dramatically higher.

Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal recently commented that $14,000 and $20,000 are the only two technical levels stopping new Bitcoin all-time highs.

Analysts assign much more importance to $14,000 than they do to $20,000 due to the amount of trading volume around the former price level.

Altcoins to Bounce

Altcoins are expected to bounce once Bitcoin begins to consolidate or distribute and once global markets turn risk-on once again.

The fundamentals of certain altcoins are stronger than ever. Case in point: the total value locked in decentralized finance (DeFi) contracts recently hit a new all-time high above $12 billion, around five times higher than this metric was in June.

Analysts expect these fundamentals to eventually translate into price action in the DeFi market.

Other altcoin sectors have also shown fundamental strength. Though, whether enough this will allow altcoins to outperform Bitcoin remains to be seen.

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.

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...
