Bitcoin


Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded from Friday’s sell-off in today’s session, as the token moved closer to a breakout of $21,000.


Following yesterday’s low of $20,132.50, BTC/USD surged to an intraday high of $20,988.39 to start the weekend.

As a result of today’s move, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is now nearing a ceiling of its own.


Price strength has already failed to break out of the aforementioned resistance of 66.00 earlier this week, however bulls seem set on retesting this point.


Should a breakout occur, we will not only see the token above $21,000, but potentially moving closer to $22,000.

Ethereum


Ethereum (ETH) was also higher to start the weekend, as prices rose by nearly 20% in today’s session.


ETH/USD raced to a peak of $1,644.28 earlier in the day, which comes after it fell to a bottom of $1,494.75 on Friday.


Following today’s rally, the token founded by Vitalik Buterin rose to its highest point since September 13.

The move came as prices broke through a key resistance point of $1,590, following a failed attempt earlier in the week.


Although the price ceiling was broken, the RSI is now approaching a ceiling of its own, which could lead to increased uncertainty.


As of writing, ETH/USD is trading at $1,614.21, relatively lower than its previous peak.

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.

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.

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.

Therefore, in this report, we relis
