Bitcoin at “Last Line of Defense” Before ATH as it Hits $19,300: Analysts

The price of Bitcoin has surpassed $19,300 once again, after dropping to as low as $16,200 on November 26. Following BTC’s surprising intraday rally, analysts say it is preparing for an all-time high.

There were convincing arguments for both bearish and bullish short-term projections for BTC. Most notably, when BTC dropped down to $16,200, it broke out of the recent parabola. This meant that BTC was at risk of either a large correction or beginning a new uptrend.

So far, based on the strength of BTC’s upward movement, market trends show that it could begin a new parabolic rally.

What Happens When Bitcoin Breaks $19,400?

There are two main scenarios for Bitcoin in the near term. First, BTC breaks $19,400, head towards the all-time high, and test the $20,000 level.

Second, BTC rejects $19,400 again, it ranges in the near term and consolidates, as it attempts to break out once again

But, if Bitcoin surges past $19,400, a technical analyst and trader known as “Bitcoin Jack” said an all-time high becomes more likely. He said:

“I hate to say it but BTC is literally at its last lines of defense before making ATH Volume is picking up, bullish breakouts on the LTF Failure to see a rejection at 19K and there is pretty much nothing that stand in its way Good game bulls.”

Why BTC Rose so Quickly

The primary reason behind the current rally of Bitcoin seems to be a large-scale short squeeze.

Prior to the rally, across major cryptocurrency exchanges including Binance Futures, BTC saw large short positions get liquidated.

When a short position gets liquidated, it forces the holder to market buy the position. As such, shorts can turn into short-term buyer demand for BTC in a short period.

A pseudonymous trader known as “Byzantine General” said:

“[Binance] is going for round 2. Coinbase & Finex have entered the chat. 18900 – 19000 will be a bloodbath.”

In the near term, the two key resistance levels for Bitcoin are at $19,400 and $20,000, both of which would likely see a strong reaction from the market.

Five Bitcoin Price Charts Analyzing The Dramatic Q1 2022 Conclusion

There are only hours remaining until the Q1 2022 close in Bitcoin price action. With the important quarterly candle set to close tonight, let’s look at what technicals might say about the direction of the next quarter. Q1 2022 Comes To A Close For Bitcoin The first quarter of a year, often sets the tone for the year to come. In investments, a poor Q1 performance is indicative of a bad year ahead. Considering the fact that Bitcoin price is now above $45,000 after touching $32,000 this quarter, it is tough to say the performance has been “poor” by anything other than crypto standards.

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.

Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...
