TA: Why Bitcoin Price Above $34K Could Start A Strong Surge

Bitcoin price corrected lower, but it remained well bid above $32,000 against the US Dollar. BTC is currently rising, but it must clear the $34,000 resistance for a steady increase.

  • Bitcoin is slowly gaining momentum above the $33,000 and $33,200 resistance levels.
  • The price is currently trading above the $33,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a major declining channel forming with resistance near $34,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair could start a strong upward move if it clears the $34,000 resistance level.

Bitcoin Price Is Showing Recovery Signs

There was a downside extension in bitcoin price below the $33,200 support level. BTC even broke the $32,500 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the bulls were able to protect the $32,000 support zone.

A low is formed near $32,178 and the price is currently rising. It broke the $32,500 and $33,000 resistance levels. There was also a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $38,612 high to $32,178 low.

Bitcoin price is now trading above the $33,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It is testing the key $34,000 resistance zone. There is also a major declining channel forming with resistance near $34,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The channel resistance is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $38,612 high to $32,178 low. A successful break above the $34,000 resistance level could open the doors for a larger increase in the coming sessions. The next major resistance sits at $35,400, followed by $36,200.

Fresh Dip in BTC?

If bitcoin fails to clear the $34,000 resistance zone, there is a risk of a fresh decline. An initial support is near the $33,000 level. The next major support is near the $32,200 level.

Any more losses could lead the price towards the channel lower trend line at $31,500. If the price fails to stay inside the channel, it could easily dive towards the $30,000 support zone.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is slowly gaining pace in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $33,000, followed by $32,200.

Major Resistance Levels – $34,000, $35,000 and $35,400.

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...

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 ...

Osprey sues Grayscale for misrepresenting likelihood of GBTC ETF approval

Osprey alleges its only competitor on the BTC OTC trust asset market gained its 99.5% market share by misrepresenting the likelihood of its trust becoming an ETF. Digital asset manager Osprey Funds filed suit against Grayscale Investments in Connecticut Superior Court on Jan. 30, alleging violation of the state’s Unfair Trade Practices Act. The suit concerns Grayscale advertising and promotion of the Bitcoin ( BTC ) exchange-traded fund (ETF) it is seeking to create.  Osprey stated in the suit that it is the only competitor to Grayscale on the over-the-counter traded Bitcoin trust asset management market, and Grayscale maintained its leading position through deceit: “Only because of its false and misleading advertising and promotion has Grayscale been able to maintain to date approximately 99.5% market share in a two-participant market despite charging more than four times the asset management fee that Osprey charges for its services.” Specifically, Osprey alleged that Graysc...
