https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/bitcoin-ethereum-technical-analysis-eth-back-under-2000-as-balenciaga-gains-lose-steam.jpg





Following strong gains to start the week, BTC once again fell under $30,000, as crypto prices moved lower on Tuesday. The downturn follows up from yesterday’s rally, which came as Balenciaga announced it would be accepting crypto payments. ETH also dropped, falling under $2,000 today.


Bitcoin


Bitcoin fell under $30,000 on Tuesday, as bears returned to action following a green start to the week.


Following a high of $30,547.50 during Monday’s session, BTC/USD fell to an intraday low of $28,975.56 earlier today.


Today’s drop saw BTC fall by over 5% in the day, as bullish sentiment following the Balenciaga crypto announcement faded.

Since then, bears have now pushed prices closer to support at $28,800, which is an area where BTC has resided over the past few weeks.


Looking at the chart, the 14-day Relative Strength Index is also under resistance at 38, which seems to be another contributing factor to today’s decline.


Like we have discussed in recent days, unless there are significant increases or decreases in relative strength, then markets will likely continue to consolidate.

Ethereum


Yesterday’s bullish sentiment also wore off for ETH, which once again fell below the $2,000 level following promising gains.


The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency dropped to an intraday low of $1,964.39 on Tuesday, which is just over 4% lower than yesterday’s top.


ETH/USD is now just over $10 away from support of $1,950, following today’s sell-off, which pushes prices back toward the long-term floor.

A promising sign for ETH is that the 10-day moving average is heading sideways, which normally is a signal of future upwards crosses.


So although we are currently consolidating, bulls will likely be preparing for a breakout, as soon as upward momentum picks up.

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 repor...

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 visionar...
