Bitcoin, altcoins and tech stocks are slowly recovering from the crash

 


After the heavy losses of the last few days, not only the tech stocks are going up again, but also the crypto market.


Today, February 4th, Bitcoin ( BTC ) has almost completely made up for the loss of the previous day, but a possible crash back to 30,000 US dollars still raises doubts.


$38,600 mark in focus

As data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows, BTC/USD rallied back to as high as $38,000 on Friday, up over 2% in the past 24 hours.


For the crypto market leader, the morning hour seems to have caught the worm, because after the Bitcoin price, driven by the crash on the stock market, had recently lost a lot, it rose again significantly for the first time on Friday morning.


The tech stocks, which were mainly affected by the crash, were able to recover on Thursday evening. For example, Amazon went up a whopping 15% again. Bitcoin & Co. picked up on this development a little later.


The upswing was very important for the market-leading cryptocurrency, because there is still the threat of a more violent return. Cointelegraph expert Michaël van de Poppe also thinks this is “probable”.


"The most likely case is that bitcoin dips back to the lows in the $30,000-$33,000 range and then slowly bounces back up," the analyst explains .


In order to be able to initiate the trend reversal , however, the 38,600 US dollar mark must first be cracked and consolidated.


"BTC is currently still undecided below the $38,650 mark," as his colleague Rekt Capital notes with regard to the major hurdle . To which he adds:


“Well, at least BTC can still defend last week’s high at the moment. Technically, BTC remains in a price range of $28,000 – $38,000.”

Meanwhile, crypto expert Pentoshi points to the longer-term time horizon and believes that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Billionaires, states and institutional investors would soon be competing for an increasingly scarce supply, which would inevitably drive the Bitcoin price up again.



Ether climbs to two-week high

On altcoins, Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) led on the day, both posting 24-hour gains above 5%.


ETH/USD can even gain more ground than BTC/USD as it breaks above $2,800. The so-called Bollinger bands show that Ether is now back in the green .



"Ethereum is currently even stronger than Bitcoin", as van de Poppe therefore also thinks . The second largest cryptocurrency has also reached its highest market capitalization in two weeks.

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...
