Bitcoin is struggling around the $20,000 mark after interest rate hike

 


New price range around $20,000?

As the data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView show, the Bitcoin price is currently just above the important $ 20,000 mark.


After the key interest rate hike of 0.75% on the previous day, new volatility promptly shot into the market, which liquidated both short and long positions in a big way.


At press time, liquidations in the crypto market totaled $165 million over the past 24 hours, data from Coinglass confirms.


All in all, the Bitcoin price is lower today than it was before the US central bank raised its key interest rate, but the area in question is initially withstanding further losses.


Meanwhile, trader Crypto Tony is sticking to his rather pessimistic forecast, which predicts a new downturn for BTC, at least in the near term.


"My gut feeling hasn't changed, as I expect further corrections and a major downturn, which will ultimately be followed by a jump that will trigger the next bull run," as the expert extends his forecast to the longer term.


The data from the analysts at Material Indicators, in turn, suggest where the next supports and resistances are in the Binance order book.


Based on this, analyst Maartunn, writing for CryptoQuant, is targeting the $19,000 and $21,000 areas.


"We see two clusters at $19,000 and $21,000 that were formed at the time of the rate hike," the analyst explains . To which he adds:


"Will this be the new price range?"

Looking at the US dollar index (DXY), he points out that new gains for the USD are always to the detriment of risky financial products such as cryptocurrencies.


“And here comes the wrecking ball called the US dollar again. After the recent lows, the top of the ascending channel is now being targeted again. That's exactly what I predicted," the analyst says . And further:


“All financial products will suffer from this, including BTC.”

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has
