- Spot bitcoin fell 1.45 percent to $9,501 as of 0900 UTC as the U.S. dollar rebounded from its seven-day plunge.
- The cryptocurrency’s downside move surfaced ahead of a fresh U.S. trade and unemployment data release at 0830 ET on Thursday.
- The U.S. stock market, which remains positively correlated to bitcoin, also dived as investors booked short-term profits.
Bitcoin continued to tail the moves in the global stock market this Thursday.
The benchmark cryptocurrency fell by 1.45 percent to $9,501 minutes after 0900 UTC. The downside swing mainly came as a part of a short-term technical correction, wherein traders booked their intraday profits near the top of $9,689. So it seems, certain macro factors also kept traders from holding Bitcoin.

Dow Rebounds After Trump Thaws Trade War with Surprise Gift to China
Donald Trump lifted the stock market on Monday by removing China from its blacklist of “currency manipulators.” The Dow reacted positively, though it lagged the tech sector. Analysts are worried about the upcoming release of crucial economic data this week. The Dow Jones moved higher to start the week as investors cheered the Trump administration’s decision to remove China from its list of currency manipulators ahead of Wednesday’s “phase one” trade deal signing ceremony.

Bitcoin Price Challenges $10K as Traders Eye Uptrend Continuation
After taking a bit of a breather over the last day or so, the Bitcoin price is once again in the ascent. At the time of writing the leading crypto asset is trading for more than $9,600. With Bitcoin price gaining consistently throughout the start of 2020, a sense of bullishness has returned to the industry. Many are now targeting further upside for the short to medium term. Bitcoin Price Pushes Towards $10,000, Are the Good Times Set to Continue? The Bitcoin price has resumed its upwards move after a brief dip. On February 3, BTC hit just over $9,500 before retreating to a local low of around $9,120 the following day. The decline was short lived, however.

Despite the sudden gains, Bitcoin remained in a clear downtrend until last…

Trillion-Dollar Bailouts are Outlandishly Bullish for Gold Prices
Gold prices don’t yet reflect the radically shifted economic outlook. Debt-funded, multi-trillion dollar stimulus programs will crush the dollar. Consequently the 2020s will be another gold decade. As demand for gold rages to historically unprecedented levels, supply will continue to contract. Gold prices will go parabolic. With the world economy flattened this spring, gold is back in $1,700 territory for the first time since 2012. But gold prices are cheap given the magnitude of the macro shifts happening now. The yellow metal is a long-favored hedge against recession, inflation, and economic/geopolitical uncertainty. 2020 is its decade to shine. Investors favor gold for a number of reasons. The element’s chemical properties and an abundant, yet limited and cost-intensive supply of it on planet Earth make it a perfect store of value. Because central banks can’t create it with a few keystrokes, gold is a formidable inflation hedge. And because its value is not correlated with equities, gold diversifies and improves a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns. Gold prices have not yet reflected the Federal Reserve dropping the mother of all monetary bombs on…

Sally Ho’s Technical Analysis 27 November 2019
Bitcoin Bitcoin (BTC/USD) appreciated early in today’s Asian session as the pair climbed to the 7189.99 area after trading as low as the 7021.84 area during yesterday’s North American session. The pair’s ongoing weakness has not yet abated, leading to intense market speculation that traders may not yet be finished with pushing BTC/USD lower. Chartists are observing that even after Monday’s rapid move higher from multi-month lows, the pair is still trading below the 7473.42 area, representing the 23.6% retracement of the move from 10540.49 to 6526.00. The next upside price retracement level related to that range is 8059.54, representing the 38.2% retracement. The pair’s failure to pierce the 9150 level on 10 November opened up significant technical pressure that has since seen significant Stops become elected below the 8289, 7594, and 6899 areas. Given this price behaviour, traders anticipate that some major Stops are in place below another major downside price objective around the 6038 area. A technical exhaustion point related to that range is around the 4648 area, and BTC/USD Bears may be tempted to push BTC/USD as…

Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies May Not Work As a Store of Value if Markets Collapse
The co-founder of Bitcoin.org, @CobraBitcoin, wrote a tweet a few days ago in which he shared his views about the current financial crisis and the effect that it could have over Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies. He stated that the entire crypto market may not work as a Store of Value (SoV) during a stock market collapse. Could Cryptocurrencies Work as a SoV? During the last few months, the COVID-19 crisis has affected almost every country around the world. A virus that started to spread in China has pushed millions of individuals into a quarantine of several months. Due to this situation, countries are now facing one of the worst crisis in the last centuries that has also harmed the entire financial system. While many crypto users and enthusiasts considered that digital assets could be used as a store of value during a financial crisis, several analysts and crypto figures believe that this is not going to happen. In this case, @CobraBitcoin mentioned that the biggest investment mistake that users can make is to assume that Bitcoin and virtual currencies are…

Today Is Critical For Bitcoin, And Could Dictate The Trend For Weeks To Come
All eyes are on Bitcoin price once again, as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap has recently made several attempts to break out of downtrend resistance. But as the recent rally has begun to fizzle out, an ominous candlestick pattern is potentially forming, which suggests that today’s close is especially critical and could determine where Bitcoin goes for the days, weeks, and perhaps months to come. Bitcoin Price Daily Close Is More Critical Than Usual On December 18, 2019, Bitcoin price touched $6,450, setting a local downtrend low, before the first-ever cryptocurrency went on a rally all the way to $8,900, reviving talk of a new bull run about to begin. Related Reading | Bulls Beware: Last Bitcoin Downtrend Breakout Led To Bear Market Lows But before Bitcoin could break out from the downtrend, the strong resistance stopped the cryptocurrency in its tracks, causing last night’s daily candle to close as a doji. Dojis normally signal uncertainty about price action. Even more significant than last night’s close, will be today’s daily close at 7PM ET tonight. However today’s candle closes…

Ethereum Unable to Overcome the $145 Resistance as Bears Attempt to Sink Price
Dec 16, 2019 at 15:15 // News Ethereum falls but may find support at $140. Ethereum may risk depreciation if the low at $140 is breached Ethereum Price Long-Term Analysis: Bearish Regrettably, the resistance at $145 has given the bears an advantage to sink Ethereum. In the first resistance at $152, the coin drops like a pack of cards to the low of $142 and holds. The bulls pulled back to the $145 resistance level. The bears came back as the selling pressure resumes. The coin falls to the low of $142 but the gain of the bears is that a break below $140, will catapult ETH either to the low of $131 or $137. In contrast, strong defense by the bulls at $140 support will raise hopes of pushing the coin to the $145 and $152 resistance levels. Meanwhile, the $142 support level may hold as the market has reached the oversold region suggesting bulls to take control of price. The bulls are to engage in constructive buying to push Ethereum into the $160 and $200 price range. Ethereum…

Top Google Exec Quits to Become Coinbase Head of Product
Surojit Chatterjee, former product leader of Google Shopping, left parent Alphabet to become chief product officer at Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US. Chatterjee to Make Cryptos Mainstream Coinbase announced late on Wednesday that Surojit Chatterjee would lead its product organization. Chatterjee has worked for Google for 11 years, holding various roles. He also worked as product leader at Flipkart, an Indian online shop. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said that this particular role was a more valuable experience from the exchange’s perspective than Google. Chatterjee’s main long-term objective is to make cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin mainstream. The goal is to promote digital currencies to the point where they become ordinary options for paying for goods and services. Surojit said that he had witnessed first-hand how mobile phones have transformed the way we buy goods and services online. Thus, he sees how “cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology can help open up the financial system for everyone by growing cross-border commerce, lowering transaction costs, providing higher security and by helping individuals have more control over their financial future.” Last year, Chatterjee was…
