Bitcoin Remains On Hunt For $4200 Despite Price Consolidation

Bitcoin’s three day price consolidation looks to be a bull breather before a continuation of the recent rally to above $4,000.
 The leading cryptocurrency by market value is currently trading largely unchanged on the day at $3,920 on Bitstamp.
 Notably, prices are trapped in a narrowing price of $4,000 to $3,860 for the third consecutive day.
 As a result, traders may feel tempted to question the reliability of the high volume triangle breakout, confirmed on Monday.

 The bearish to bullish trend change, however, will remain valid as long as prices are held above $3,614, as discussed yesterday.
 Trading volumes have dropped 43 percent from the nine-month high of $9.93 billion seen on Tuesday, according to CoinMarketCap.
 So, the pullback from highs near $4,000 to $3,900 is likely nothing more than temporary bullish exhaustion.
 Further, bitcoin seems to have created a bull flag pattern  a pause which often refreshes on the higher side on the technical charts.
 Therefore, the cryptocurrency could soon pick up a strong bid and rise above $4,000.

the upper edge of the flag, currently at $3,930, would confirm a bull flag breakout and open the doors to $4,330
. The RSI, currently at 63, is again reporting bullish conditions, as opposed to overbought readings seen three days ago.
 Major averages 50, 100 and 200  are also trending north indicating a bullish setup.

These applications come from prominent asset management companies, including BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale Investments, and ARK Investments.    Notably, in the past week, several of these firms have made crucial updates to their applications, hinting at the evolving nature of their proposals.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused b

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge toward the $40K zone.
