3 Things That Make $6000 A Key Price For Bitcoin Trading


Since Bitcoin prices flirted with $20,000 at the end of the last year, there have been several corrections that have taken it below key support levels. But there’s one support level that seems to be holding well: $6000. There are three explanations for that. One of them is technical. $6000 represents a 70 percent decline from Bitcoin’s high of $20,000 in December 2017,” says Ben Marks, CEO and Founder of Blocktrade Capital. “Of the nine previous Bitcoin corrections that have ever occurred, the average retracement is 64 percent, and if you only look at corrections lasting longer than 50 days, the average retracement is 76 percent.




Thus the 70 percent decline that $6,000 represents is right in line with historical figures.” Then there’s phsychology. “I believe that when the Bitcoin price dips below $6,000 and into the $5,000 range it triggers something in traders and developers that spurs them into action and gets them collaboratively doing whatever is necessary not to let the price fall below $5,000," adds Marks. Chris Kline, co-founder and COO, Bitcoin IRA, agrees. 
“In my opinion, it’s not the $6,000 price that is critical. What’s critical is that Bitcoin remains stable within that price range. And it has: Bitcoin has held steady in the $6,000+ dollar range over the past few weeks.” And there are fundamentals. Like the cost of resources that are being used to maintain and verify a cryptoasset, which determine the “intrinsic value.” 
“The ‘iron’ price of Bitcoin is about $6,000 because the average hard cost of mining Bitcoin is just under $5,000 - with highs exceeding $15,000 in some countries, and a low of just over $500 in Venezuela,” says Shidan Gouran, Ceo and president of Global Blockchain Technologies. “The reason it hasn't dropped to the hard cost just yet is likely due to a combination of continued price speculation - and a premium over the "spot" price, which is common in the trade of commodities.

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 to...

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 ...
