Bitcoin (BTC) struggles at $46,000, Musk pushes Dogecoin (DOGE) higher

 


Bitcoin ( B TC ) found itself floating in shaky waters for the opening of trading on Wall Street today, April 4, after bulls failed to make a decisive continuation of the upleg.


Analyst predicts new downturn

Accordingly, as data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView show, BTC/USD briefly bounced above $46,000 and promptly fell back below it. So the volatility of the last few days is continuing.


The market-leading cryptocurrency solidified its second weekly close yesterday in close proximity to the year-opening price of 2022, which has analysts already hoping for a rally above $50,000 and beyond.


At the time of writing, however, there are no signs of this happening anytime soon, as Bitcoin continues to find itself locked in a tight price range.


"The picture is not very clear for me with Bitcoin, because we had a very slow weekend, which makes me a little worried," as trader Crypto Ed summarizes the current situation as part of his current YouTube update .


However, this falling trendline is initially holding BTC off the rally to $50,000, according to the expert.


In this context, CryptoEd points to a falling diagonal trend line, a possible retracement could be triggered by this as early as April 4th. In that case, Bitcoin could drop to $44,800 or even $43,000.


His colleague Scott Melker, meanwhile, is far less concerned that Bitcoin failed the 200-day moving average.


"Rejected on the 200-day MA and then slipped to 45,500, next it should go up again," as Melker explains accordingly on Twitter . To which he adds:


"Let's just hope the whales don't abandon us just because there's a conference event going on at the moment."

With this, Melker refers to the major Bitcoin conference Bitcoin 2022, which will be held in Miami from April 6th to 9th and will bring together some of the most important industry heads.


Dogecoin fueled again by Elon Musk

Musk had recently announced that he had acquired a 9.3% stake in the social network Twitter, making him the company's largest shareholder. This later translated directly to DOGE/USD, which has almost climbed back to a two-month record high.

Musk's action was again triggered by a survey, because he had previously denounced that Twitter "does not comply with the principle of freedom of expression".



Capital inflows into altcoins over the past week have provided evidence that interest in “high-risk” alternative cryptocurrencies is returning.

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...
