Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC, ETH Consolidate Below Key Resistance Levels

https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bitcoin-ethereum-technical-analysis-btc-eth-consolidate-below-key-resistance-levels.jpg

Following strong gains during Wednesday’s session, bitcoin and ethereum both saw prices consolidate below key resistance levels. BTC remained marginally above $47,300, with ETH trading close to $3,400. The global crypto market cap was 0.48% lower as of writing.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin saw its price consolidate during Wednesday’s session, following strong gains on Tuesday, which saw BTC rise to multi-month highs.

However on Wednesday, BTC/USD fell to an intraday low of $46,746.21, as prices failed to sustain a breakout of the $48,080 ceiling.

Today’s drop came as prices rose to a peak of $47,938.21. However, bullish momentum somewhat eased as bulls likely secured some earlier gains.

Now the question will be whether or not these drops in price will persist, with bears looking to enter the market in order to lead a reversal in price strength.

Looking at the chart, the 14-day RSI has also begun to tail off, and now tracks at 69, which is still overbought.

Should bears look to move prices lower, this could be a factor, with the 61 RSI floor being a point they could be targeting, thus pushing BTC towards $44,000.

Ethereum

Despite also falling in today’s session, ethereum continued to hover marginally above the $3,400 level.

As of writing, ETH/USD was trading 1.70% lower, as prices hit an intraday low of $3,349.24, following on from an earlier high of $3,466.67.

Wednesday’s decline in price comes less than 24 hours after the world’s second largest cryptocurrency rose to a nearly four-month peak of $3,483.

Looking at the chart, one of the reasons for the decline is the fact that price strength is deeply overbought.

This comes as the 14-day RSI is still tracking above 70, which is close to its highest point since September last year.

Bulls likely saw this as an opportune time to liquidate their positions, while bears viewed it as an ideal point to push prices lower.

Can ETH bears continue to push prices lower, despite the current momentum being bullish? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

A Jacobin Podcast Review: Critiques on Crypto and Sterlin’s Response

https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/a-jacobin-podcast-review-critiques-on-crypto-and-sterlins-response.jpg The following opinion editorial is a Jacobin Podcast review written by the author Sterlin Lujan , the chief risk officer with Cryptospace. The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionary, Daniel Pinchbeck, pointed out a

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this report, we relis
