Bitcoin (BTC) At $29,000, How Long Will The Consolidation Continue?

Bitcoin remained consolidated over the last 24 hours, altcoins however, have dipped on their charts. Over the last week, the king-coin continued to register lateral price movements on the charts. Ever since November, 2021, price of Bitcoin has consistently moved on the downside.

On the longer time frame, Bitcoin has continued to show signs of upcoming bearishness. On a comparatively, shorter time frame the king-coin might be hinting at a price reversal.

Over the last 24 hours BTC made no gains. In the last week, it lost about 2% as the coin was mostly consolidating. Currently, BTC is sandwiched between $28,000 and $29,000 as those two levels have been acting as the coin’s crucial demand zone.

The buyers seem to have clearly given up on the initiative to lead the price action and with continued strength from sellers, BTC might be eyeing the $20,000 price level.

On the Relative Strength Index, the indicator climbed and reached the 50-mark which meant buyers were returning in the market. This signified positiveness in the market.

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.

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.

Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

The CFTC-linked self-regulatory organization (SRO) has disclosure rules for members engaging in activities with BTC and ETH; now, standards of conduct are being added. The National Futures Association (NFA), the United States self-regulatory organization for derivatives markets, has issued a new compliance rule addressing members’ conduct. The new rule complements requirements issued in 2018. The NFA has “well over 100” members that engage in activities with digital asset commodities, but no way to address fraud or misconduct committed by those members, the organization explained to secretary of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Kirkpatrick in a Feb. 28 letter as it submitted the proposed new rule for approval. The new rule is modelled on the NFA’s antifraud rules for exchange traded futures and swaps transaction and retail foreign exchange. The NFA is the only registered self-regulatory organization that has delegated authority from the CFTC, giving it a...
