TA: Why Bitcoin Price Could Turn Bearish Again If It Breaks $34K

Bitcoin price failed to stay above the key $35,000 support zone against the US Dollar. BTC is declining and it could slide heavily if there is a close below $34,000.

  • Bitcoin started a fresh decline from well above the $36,500 level.
  • The price is now trading near $34,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $35,750 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair is likely to accelerate lower if there is a clear break below the $34,000 support zone.

Bitcoin Price is Struggling

Bitcoin started a steady increase above the $35,000 resistance level. BTC even broke the $36,000 barrier and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

However, it failed to stay above the $36,500 zone. A high was formed near $36,698 and the price recently started a fresh decline. There was a break below the $35,500 and $35,000 support levels. The price broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $30,187 swing low to $36,698 high.

There was also a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $35,750 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin price is now trading near $34,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

The first major support is near the $34,000 level. If there is a downside break below $34,000, the bears are likely to gain strength. The next key support is near the $33,450 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $30,187 swing low to $36,698 high.

Any more losses may possibly push the price towards the $32,000 support zone. The main support is still near the $30,000 zone.

Fresh Increase in BTC?

If bitcoin remains stable above the $34,000 support zone, it could start a fresh increase in the near term. An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $35,200 level.

The next key resistance is near $35,500, above which the bulls are likely to aim a retest of $36,500. Any more gains could lift the price towards the $38,000 resistance. The next major hurdle is near the $40,000 zone.

Technical indicators:

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

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

Major Support Levels – $34,000, followed by $33,400.

Major Resistance Levels – $35,200, $35,500 and $36,500.

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...
