TA: Bitcoin Holds Key Support, Why Technicals Suggest a Crucial Breakout Pattern

Bitcoin price is trading below the $48,000 resistance zone against the US Dollar. BTC could decline heavily if it fails to stay above the $46,500 support zone.

  • Bitcoin failed to surpass $48,250 and dropped back to $46,500.
  • The price is now trading well below $48,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $47,850 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair could accelerate further lower if there is a break below the $46,500 support zone.
Bitcoin Price Tests Key Support

Bitcoin price attempted an upside break above the $48,000 resistance zone. However, BTC remained below the 100 hourly simple moving average and topped near the $48,250 level.

A high was formed near $48,245 and the price started another decline. It broke the $47,500 and $47,000 support levels. It traded close to the $46,500 support zone and a low is formed near $46,540. It is now consolidating losses near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $48,245 swing high to $46,540 low.

Besides, bitcoin is now trading well below $48,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the downside, there is a key support forming near the $46,500 zone.

If there is a downside break below the $46,500 support zone, the price might accelerate lower. The next major support is near the $45,500 level, below which the price could revisit $45,000. Any more downsides may possibly set the pace for a larger decline towards $42,000.

Fresh Increase In BTC?

If bitcoin stays above the $46,500 support zone, it could start a fresh increase. An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $47,200 level. The first major resistance is near the $47,400 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $48,245 swing high to $46,540 low.

The main resistance is near the $48,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A clear break above the $48,000 level could clear the path for a decent increase in the near term.

Technical indicators:

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

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

Major Support Levels – $46,500, followed by $45,000.

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...

Institutional demand for crypto isn’t subsiding, but impact will be gradual

As another $2-trillion stimulus package looms in the U.S., institutions will continue to look at BTC as a hedge against inflation. For example, just last week, when the currency was hovering around the $30,000 threshold, a whole host of pundits was warning investors to brace for impact, suggesting that the premier crypto asset was on the verge of a correction and could once again dip to around the $20,000 region. However, in just one day, Bitcoin was once again playing with the bulls, retesting the $38,500 limit, only to witness a selloff and eventually settle around the $33,500 region. While for most crypto veterans that might have been another day at the office, others branded the upsurge as “Elon’s Candle,” which relates to Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, who included “Bitcoin” in his Twitter bio as well as sent out the following cryptic message “in retrospect, it was inevitable” to his 40 million-odd followers online. Regardless of the cause, has the recent price volatility sca...
