Analysts say Bitcoin daily close above $48K opens a clear path to a new all-time high

Analysts say Bitcoin’s surge above $48,000 is the clear macro trend change that traders have been waiting for, but are new all-time highs on the way?

Cryptocurrency investors are in high spirits on March 28 as the week-long melt-up across the market extended another day with Bitcoin (BTC) rallying to $48,000 and Ether trading above $3,400.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after a brief pause near support at $47,000 in early trading on Monday, an afternoon wave of buying helped lift BTC above $48,000 and bulls are identifying $52,000 as the next stop.

Crypto Yoddha said,

“Either a proper pullback to retest the breakout or price will keep pushing higher to take equal highs at $52,000.”

Key moving averages have been flipped

“Critically also breaking the key weekly support/resistance level defining the middle of the range. Now sat below the 100 DMA and yearly pivot and a high volume node.”

Does the breakout extend the 4-year cycle

Analysis of the long-term price performance of BTC was discussed by crypto trader Jordan Lindsey, who posted the following chart suggesting that the Bitcoin bull run that began in early 2021 is still ongoing due to an extension of the 4-year cycle.

Lindsey said,

“Bull market breakout has never faded. We continue to be in a Bitcoin bull market since 2020. Cycles are longer. Lengthening or new structure? This is the question.”

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $2.168 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 42.1%.

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...
