TA: Bitcoin Faces Hurdle, Why BTC Could Resume Downtrend

Bitcoin struggled to clear the $38,800 resistance zone against the US Dollar. BTC is moving lower and might decline below the $35,000 support level.

  • Bitcoin started an upside correction but failed to clear the $38,800 resistance zone.
  • The price is now trading below $37,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $37,650 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair could continue to move down if it stays below the $38,000 resistance zone.
Bitcoin Price Starts Fresh Decrease

Bitcoin price recovered above the $37,000 resistance zone. BTC even climbed above the $38,000 resistance zone and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

However, the price failed to clear the $38,800 resistance zone. A high was formed near $38,719 and the price started a fresh decline. There was a move below the $38,000 support level. The bears pushed the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $35,561 swing low to $38,719 high.

Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $37,650 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair traded below $37,200 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

It is now testing the $36,800 support zone. The stated level is near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $35,561 swing low to $38,719 high. On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $37,400 level and the 100 hourly SMA.

The first major resistance is near the $38,000 zone. The main resistance is still near the $38,800 zone. An upside break above the $38,800 resistance could start a steady upward move. The next key resistance is near the $40,000 level, above which the bulls might gain strength.

More Losses in BTC?

If bitcoin fails to start a fresh increase above $38,000, it could continue to move down. An immediate support on the downside is near the $36,000 zone.

The first major support is seen near the $35,500 zone. A downside break below the $35,500 support zone may perhaps push the price towards the $34,000 support zone.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now 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 – $36,500, followed by $35,500.

Major Resistance Levels – $37,400, $38,000 and $38,800.

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 ...

INX submits bid for Voyager Digital's assets

FTX US won a $1.4-billion bid to purchase Voyager’s assets in September, but with the firm filing for bankruptcy, the funds were once again up for grabs. Trading platform INX has submitted a bid for an undisclosed amount to purchase the assets of crypto brokerage firm Voyager Digital. In a Nov. 30 announcement, INX said it had sent a non-binding letter of intent for Voyager’s assets following the platform filing for bankruptcy in July. According to INX CEO Shy Datika, the bid was aimed at providing “credibility, technology, and unique regulatory positioning” for Voyager users seeking stability in a volatile market. Voyager’s original bankruptcy filing from the Southern District Court of New York suggested the firm could owe between $1 billion to $10 billion to more than 100,000 creditors amid a bear market and exposure to Three Arrows Capital. In September, FTX US won a $1.4-billion bid to purchase Voyager’s assets, but with FTX Group itself filing for bankruptcy in November, th...
