The Sunday Recap – Down the Rabbit Hole 33

Bitcoin is knocking on 9k. However, it’s regulations and proposed governments crackdowns that have dominated the cryptosphere this week. From a possible ban on ‘public’ blockchains in Russia, to a wholesale ban in India, to repressive FinCEN ( Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) KYC recommendations on crypto transactions over $1000, the news surrounding crypto regulations has been decidedly negative.

Will Bitcoin SV Meteoric Rise Continue???

Bitcoin SV (stands for Satoshi’s Vision) has received another boost on Thursday. The cryptocurrency jumped from $190.00 to $220.00 in a matter of three hours after the Financial Times published a story on SegWit and Bitcoin transaction fees and cited Craig Wright on the issue. The development caused massive FOMO and Bitcoin SV buying; however, the speculative agitation seems to be fading away now.

BTC technical analysis

BTC seen from the temporality of 4H we can see how the current structure of candles carries an excellent count of a distribution scheme, accepting this premise, the current bullish movement should be the failed rally, this has to be confirmed even with a closure below the support located at 8200 and a subsequent test as resistance, in the chart I have drawn the possible trajectory that the price should follow in the process.

Crypto East vs West

 
Apologies for the slightly clickbaity heading: I’m playing on the topic of the US China Trade War.
While the Trade War doesn’t directly influence crypto, it surely plays a roll. I believe that as inevitable market crunches loom nearer, so crypto will become ever more attractive as an investment asset – specifically as a high ROI store-of-value. We all know that crypto isn’t as stable as gold, but gold can’t offer the returns that crypto does. Obviously that is bullish for crypto in the long-run.
But that’s not what I wanted to tell you today; today I want to draw your attention
