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.

Major Resistance Levels – $47,200, $47,400 and $48,000.

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...
