Bitcoin declined below $7,000 and it appears to be bearish on surface but I think the market could rally higher from here. The price has just found support on the 61.8% fib extension level and as we can see it has already started to move up. If BTC/USD ends up rallying higher from here, then the probability of a move towards higher levels in the near future would increase significantly. The recent crash is a lot similar to what we have seen before. The price crashed in one big candle which was then followed by a reversal attempt which failed and then further downside. After that it started to recover temporarily just like it has now.
The point is, while everyone is expecting the price to decline straight to $5,500 from current levels, it may not happen that easily. We could see the market continue to play retail bears that are hoping for a sharp decline from current levels. Meanwhile, it is in the interest of the market makers and whales to trap in more bulls and inflict more pain on the bears before the next major decline. The ETH/USD chart shares a similar outlook as Bitcoin (BTC) and we have now seen the price begin to rally aggressively from the $141 mark converting a bearish 4H candle into a bullish one. The EUR/USD forex pair indicates that the is still room for the market to make its next big decision which means that the bulls could take control short term and push the market higher from current levels.
The majority of retail traders remain fearful as indicated by “extreme fear” on the Fear and Greed Index. The index is currently down by another point from yesterday and is currently at 20. We have seen the market reverse short term most of the time whenever the sentiment has declined this low. However, traders should remain cautious. Although there is no reason to be overly bearish just yet, there is no reason to be overly bullish either. We can spot what looks like an IH&S formation the 4H chart for BTC/USD but it is important not to lay too much emphasis on this as we remain in a strong bear trend and Bitcoin (BTC) just closed last week below the 100 Week EMA with no significant signs of any bullish recovery just yet.

Telegram Forces US Investors to Take 72% Refund and Exit Gram Token Project
Telegram is now forcing U.S investors to immediately exit its TON blockchain project by accepting a 72% refund on their original investment. The encrypted messaging platform’s unexpected volte-face also disqualifies American investors from the loan option, which promised a 110% refund either in Gram token or in any other cryptocurrency. According to a letter sent to investors on May 4, Telegram said American-based investors will not be allowed to stay another 12 months in the project. The decision has been necessitated by regulatory challenges in the U.S., it said. Telegram now expects to launch its Gram token next April, after failing to do so twice in the past. The latest failure came a week ago. “Unfortunately, given your status as an investor from the United States and based on later discussions with the relevant authorities and our lawyers, we made the difficult decision not to use this option with you due to an uncertain regulatory attitude in the United States,” the company stated. Last week, Telegram tabled two options to refund all investors who channeled $1.7 billion into the Telegram…

4 Big Competitive Advantages Over Altcoins in 2020
Bitcoin (BTC) easily succeeds over other cryptocurrencies in multiple key areas, which all but guarantee its future as the standard, noted academic Konrad S. Graf has concluded. In the second installment of a two-part interview with Eurasia Review published Jan. 1, Graf highlighted a plethora of “competitive advantages” inherent to Bitcoin. Graf has sought to gain exposure for Bitcoin through academic essays, which expand beyond its mechanism of action to situate it within the broader economic system. Scarcity Bitcoin wins out over other forms of money — including other cryptocurrencies — largely due to its fixed supply. “Bitcoin’s top competitive advantage… is its ability (to) restrict new issuance, the relative reliability of its methods for controlling unit production,” Graf summarizes. Specifically, Bitcoin’s supply cannot be manipulated, nor can its maximum issuance — 21 million units — ever change to dilute it. No entity, no matter how powerful in terms of computing power active on the network, can diminish the value of the existing BTC held by savers by increasing the supply. This is in direct contrast to cryptocurrencies with a…

Trump Stimulus Is Socialism for Corporate Profits
Clinton Administration economist Nouriel Roubini mocked Trump’s stimulus bill Monday. He said it socializes corporate losses. While taking a jab at the “socialist” $2 trillion price tag, Roubini says the fiscal stimulus will bail out big corporations, not the people. Congress is deeply divided over the stimulus bill. While members locked horns on Capitol Hill, partisans ripped both sides on Twitter Monday. Nouriel Roubini, an NYU professor and former White House economist under Clinton, came out swinging against the stimulus bill dragging through Congress Monday. Roubini bashed the $2 trillion stimulus plan for being somehow “more Socialist than Bernie Sanders,” while also a big money grab for the corporate elites. He argued the stimulus bill is yet another example of Washington privatizing profits while socializing losses. Source: Twitter Is Nouriel Roubini right? Recession and Corporate Bailouts $500 billion of the stimulus bill will be distributed by the U.S. Treasury Department. To a large degree, it will be disbursed at Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s discretion. Democrats are calling it a White House slush fund. The Bush Administration and Pelosi Congress faced stiff…

Sorry bulls, bears have won this time. As of the time of writing this, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has just plunged below $8,000 after holding above that level for nearly a week. The cryptocurrency now trades at $7,930, and seemingly looks poised to plunge lower in the coming hours.

Should the fractal play out in full as the trader expects, the price of bitcoin will fall to the low-$7,000s, potentially as low as $7,000, by the end of the week.

However, the upset loss didn’t come as a shock to Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang. Team USA Basketball not winning the gold medal is disappointing but not surprising.

Alibaba, Tencent Stocks Thrive amid Coronavirus, China to Become Stabilizing Force
Alibaba and Tencent stocks indicate resilience amid the coronavirus stock market effect. China, the first country to be hit by the deadly coronavirus in early December, now aims to be a stabilizing force in the global market. Coronavirus has almost become the order of the day in mainstream media since it was first reported in Wuhan, China. The virus has pushed beyond the ground zero to infect countries almost in all continents. As a result, it’s not only the human health status that has been adversely affected but also the stock market at large, since it has experienced the worst sell-off in recent times. With the number of those infected and the death toll rising, the volatility on the stock market is expected to continue. However, the volatility and recession possibility are not gnarling at some stock markets. This includes internet based markets like Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) and Tencent Holdings Ltd (HKG: 0700) in China, where there is minimal human contact. China has been not only being the ground zero, but it has also been the most…
