Christmas upswing fails - Bitcoin is fighting for the upward trend on the 1-year MA

 


Even if the traditional Christmas upswing fails this year, Bitcoin still has the chance to save the upward trend into the new year.


Bitcoin ( BTC ) is at a crossroads with critical support today, December 19, while time for a strong year-end close is getting scarcer.


Does the important support last?

As the data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView show, BTC / USD is at $ 47,000 on Sunday, which is still in a well-established price range. 


At this level, Bitcoin also holds above an important support, namely the one-year moving average (1-year MA). This red line has kept the market-leading cryptocurrency on the upswing for a long time, which is why it is all the more important that it can be defended again now.


“Historically, the 1-year MA is an important crossroads, and we are right now at it again,” as crypto expert Philip Swift, co-founder of the research portal Look Into Bitcoin, explains . He adds:



"I think we will defend it successfully and soar upwards."

However, even an upswing would leave a lot of room for improvement in comparison to the daring price forecasts made by some experts at the end of the year.


Including the much-cited Stock-To-Flow (S2F) forecast model from PlanB, which admitted this weekend that its optimistic price target of 100,000 US dollars will probably no longer be achieved this year.


However , he does not yet doubt the validity of his calculation model, because despite the failed forecast, this would still be fully within the target.


Christmas upswing fails

Meanwhile, the unusual end for 2021 does not only affect the crypto market, because the traditional “Christmas upswing” is also largely absent on the other capital markets.


The latest announcements by the American central bank could cause a jump up in the short term, but overall performance in all markets fell short of expectations.


"Looks as if the typical Christmas upswing will not really kick in," as the world's chief financial officer Holger Zschäpitz the situation summarized . To this end he explains:


"The global stock market is $ 1.8 trillion this week following the US Federal Reserve's announcement and rising infection rates. US dollar market capitalization lost, which is why the market starts the year 2022 even more overvalued than it already is. Nonetheless, the stock market is still $ 118 trillion. US dollars, which corresponds to 140% of global GDP. "

In the short term, too, the omens are bad, because the Omikron variant leads to a renewed lockdown in many countries, which inevitably pulls down economic output and does not make the start of the new year any easier.

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...
