Analyzing The Critical Bitcoin June 2021 Monthly Close

Today, June 30 marks the last day of the month, and after around 8PM ET the Bitcoin monthly candle will come to a close. This monthly candle isn’t anywhere as damaging as this past May, which historically was one of the worst on record.

However, there’s no denying that this month was also still fairly nasty and has left the market in a state of indecision. Here’s what past moments of indecision say about the current market cycle, and what could come next depending on which side of the trade gains control over the next month in Bitcoin.

Stalemate Between Bulls And Bears Results In Sideways Action

From the local top to the recent bottom, Bitcoin has collapse by nearly 60% and its only taken three months in full. Q2 2021 is now destined to be the bloodiest on record, with May nearly breaking records for the worst monthly drop ever.

Despite the violent drawdown, the cryptocurrency bull market still could very well still be on. The market knows this, so investors and traders are still cautiously buying the dip.

At the same time, panic sellers are being shaken out with each failed attempt to push lower. The sideways price action can be explained best due to price action – currency forming a red doji candle on the monthly – being sandwiched between the Tenken-sen and Kijun-sen.

The miss of the higher, dotted trendline on the RSI could suggest another push higher is still possible, however, falling so deep out of the bull zone isn’t good for Bitcoin. At the same time, the Parabolic SAR has been tagged suggesting a major trend change, and the LMACD has begun to turn downward.

The LMACD hasn’t yet crossed bearish yet, and ahead of any cross happening bulls could push another wave higher. The histogram on the monthly MACD also hasn’t switched red just yet, which could prevent further downside if the green bars grow again.

Bitcoin And The Red Doji: What Could Come Following This Monthly Close

Interestingly, red doji candles, which indicate indecision between bulls and bears, have typically resulted in some of the largest bullish impulses in the months following.

The red doji could suggest that bears are failing to continue to bring prices to lower support levels, and bulls might be able to regain the upper hand.

After such an enormous selloff market structure is typically damaged to the point of no return. Bulls best hope to hold out for is a repeat of the 2013 final wave up, which instead had a green doji to pin-point the exact bottom before a reversal to new highs.

If Bitcoin can regain lost highs, another final leg up could bring the leading cryptocurrency by market cap to the final cycle high, and set another bull market peak.

The importance of this monthly close to the bull cycle continuing cannot be understated and is one that anyone in crypto should be paying. close attention to.

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.

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.

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

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...
