3 reasons why Bitcoin is in a Crab Market



Bitcoin has been moving sideways for a few weeks now. Again and again, investors hoped for a breakthrough above 40,000 US dollars, but it did not come. Furthermore, there was the more frequent threat of a crash well below $ 30,000, but the price moved up again. What are the 3 reasons for Bitcoin's sideways movement?

Reason 1 for Bitcoin's sideways movement: Uncertainty

A big component of Bitcoin's current sideways trend is market uncertainty. In the past few weeks, there have been several bad news for Bitcoin, which first triggered a price decline and then the sideways movement. 

First Elon Musk sharply criticized Bitcoin, then there were far-reaching bans on Bitcoin mining in China. New regulations and bans in particular weakened the bull market again and again in 2021. An uncertainty remains here that discourages many investors, especially institutional investors, from investing in the market. 

Reason 2: firmly established resistances

Fixed upper and lower resistances have established themselves for the Bitcoin price in the past few weeks. Several times it looked like the price could break up. However, the Bitcoin rise repeatedly failed at the $ 40,000 mark. Even when the price briefly exceeded this mark, the resistance set in again and the Bitcoin sideways movement continued.

The same applies to the lower resistance. This first established itself at $ 32,000. Then Bitcoin fell below $ 30,000 for the first time in a few months. In this case, however, a wave of subsequent purchases set in, which drove the price back into the range of $ 35,000. After several touches, the resistance - above and below - remained and the Bitcoin sideways movement continued to solidify. Without major external events, it is very unlikely that these will break anytime soon.

Reason 3 for the Bitcoin sideways movement: The nature of the Bitcoin price trend

As much as Bitcoin is dependent on external factors, the course of the price is repeated over and over again in the historical context. We are seeing bull markets that develop slowly over a few months and then explode. This is followed by price drops and a longer Bitcoin sideways movement until the Bitcoin price turns back into a bear market.

We recognized these patterns as early as 2013 and 2017/2018. These patterns can be traced through technical analyzes and forecasts can be made for the future. It is very likely that we are now in the Bitcoin sideways movement with the transition to the next bear market.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
