Bitcoin Cash ha estado en una pendiente desde fines de septiembre, pero durante las últimas 4 semanas, se ha vuelto más turbulento. El criptoactivo logró romper su nivel de resistencia en $ 341 un par de veces, pero su valor se encontró con una corrección en las próximas 24 horas. Al cierre de esta edición, BCH se encontraba en una situación similar una vez más, con la posibilidad de un retroceso extremadamente probable.

Como se explicó anteriormente, Bitcoin Cash ha estado en aumento desde el 22 de septiembre, con BCH manteniendo una posición por encima del nivel de soporte ascendente. También es importante tener en cuenta que la media móvil de 50 actuaba como soporte subyacente, con el token rebotando por encima de la media móvil de forma constante.

La observación clave que se puede hacer al observar la estructura del mercado de BCH es su afinidad con el movimiento lateral. No se está produciendo una ruptura en particular, ya que Bitcoin Cash se basa únicamente en el mercado alcista colectivo. El criptoactivo recientemente superó los $ 380, un nivel que fue su resistencia inmediata, en el momento de escribir este artículo. Sin embargo, si sus picos anteriores son una evidencia, BCH podría estar preparándose para otra bajada en los próximos días.

Teniendo en cuenta la volatilidad de la criptomoneda, el soporte de $ 270 debería ser el último rango de prueba antes de otro movimiento al alza en los gráficos. Por otro lado, los indicadores del mercado apuntaban a un movimiento alcista antes de la próxima caída de precios.

Como se puede ver en el gráfico adjunto, las cintas de la EMA parecían expandirse en el horizonte, algo que podría sugerir la solidificación de la tendencia alcista en el momento de la publicación. El índice de fuerza relativa o RSI también estaba bastante en aumento, y parecía probable que tocara la zona de sobrecompra en los gráficos.

Finalmente, el Awesome Oscillator o AO también apuntó a la recuperación del impulso alcista en los gráficos. Las velas verdes en el histograma del AO sugirieron un repunte, un hallazgo que parecía coherente con el movimiento de precios de BCH.

Conclusión

Para Bitcoin Cash, su dependencia de Bitcoin es evidente. El mercado criptográfico seguirá alcanzando máximos más altos para Bitcoin Cash, pero un cambio radical en el futuro conducirá a correcciones masivas por debajo de los $ 300.

Kraken has announced that it will enable staking on ETH 2.0 for its users.

Although validators need 32 ETH to run a node, Kraken users will be able to wager any amount of ETH on the exchange.

This creates the possibility for BinBot holders to start earning passive income.

Kraken, the online cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it allows its users to staker ETH through ETH 2.0’s Beacon Chain directly on the platform.

When it comes to the major cryptocurrency exchanges, Kraken appears to be one of the first to announce the opportunity for its users.

At the time of this article’s publication, Kraken had recently activated the staking capability, marking a major milestone in the continued growth of ETH 2.0 .

A victory for the “small” holder of ETH

Kraken will allow ETH users of all sizes to delegate their ETH for staking. With the launch of ETH 2.0 and the adoption of a Proof-of-Stake type transaction verification methodology, only users with a minimum of 32 ETH would be able to run a node, allowing them to validate the network.

Currently 32 ETH costs around $ 20,000 , a significant sum for the average crypto enthusiast. Kraken will allow users with any amount of Ethereum to stack them through the platform.

This will allow users to earn passive income on their farms. Users will receive rewards ranging from 5% to 17% Average Percentage Return (APY) per year and will receive rewards in ETH on a weekly basis.

Other benefits

Another feature that Kraken will be adding next week (but not for US or Canadian users) is the ability to trade staked ETH against non-staked ETH.

Once ETH is staked on the ETH 2.0 network, that ETH cannot be viewed or traded until the next phase of the project. However, Kraken will soon allow a special trading pair to bypass this limitation:

As a courtesy to clients wishing to exchange their staked ETH for non-staked ETH, Kraken will provide a special trading pair for this purpose until the option to remove the stake from ETH is available on the Ethereum network.

This will likely give users more freedom over their collateral compared to regular ETH 2.0 stakers who will not be able to take advantage of it if they independently manage an ETH node.

Petr Kozyakov of Mercuryo.io shares his thoughts on the recent surge in institutional interest in Bitcoin.

The bear market of 2018 has disrupted the market, forcing many projects out of the industry.

The growing institutional activity in crypto is not exclusively accompanied by alternative investments.

The Trust Project is an international consortium of media organizations based on transparency standards.

Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and CBDO of the international cryptographic payment solution Mercuryo.io, shares his thoughts on the recent surge in institutional interest in Bitcoin and its possible impacts on the digital asset market.

It’s official: 2020 is the year of institutional investments in crypto, including Bitcoin. And for good reason.

Digital asset funds have seen record inflows into their products, while large companies hold a significant share of the outstanding supply of Bitcoin (BTC).

But what is behind this phenomenon and how will it affect the maturing crypto market?

Secure assets do not meet investors’ expectations

Even in the pre-pandemic period, low-risk instruments in the general market generated disappointing returns for investors.

Examples include savings accounts and high quality government bonds, the latter currently producing a modest return of 0.86% for 10-year US Treasury bonds and 0.32% for 10-year UK Gilts.

In the worst case scenario, high quality bonds such as German Bunds provide negative returns to investors, even with maturities of 10 or 20 years.

Even if a safe investment offers investors returns, the gains are so small that they will be eaten up by inflation.

Institutional investors will replace gold with bitcoins

While individuals can “afford the luxury” of generating very low or negative returns, institutional investors must meet the return expectations of their stakeholders.

This is why, when the general market is disrupted and safe assets perform poorly, institutional investors must seek alternative investments to increase their returns.

Gold, a safe-haven asset that is generally thought to generate good performance in times of uncertainty, is one such instrument that institutional investors have been turning to since March. However, gold’s bullish run ended in August and the asset has been in decline since then.

On the other hand, Bitcoin has been steadily increasing since the stock market crash in March. Currently trading above $19,500, digital assets are very close to their record level of $20,000, which they only briefly touched before the devastating crypto winter of 2018.

On top of that, the total supply is capped at 21 million BTCs, while introducing a built-in mechanism called “halving” or “halving”, which halves the number of corners coming into circulation every four years. The goal is to combat inflation and ensure a long-term increase in the value of digital assets.

As a result, with year-to-date growth of more than 160% and a level of volatility that is almost always low, Bitcoin has become an attractive safe haven asset for institutional investors.

At the same time, recent reports from leading investment banks, such as Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan, confirm the same phenomenon, indicating a shift from gold to Bitcoin among institutional investors.

Why this Bitcoin bull run is different

People often fear that this year’s bull run for Bitcoin will end with the same disastrous consequences as the previous crypto push in 2017.

In 2017, FOMO, media craziness and speculation were the fundamental drivers of the cryptomoney market’s bullish trends.

At the time, the industry was very lightly regulated and it was sufficient for digital asset projects to raise a record amount of funds with only a concept or semi-finished product.

In addition, the market was mainly driven by retail investors with varying levels of experience and knowledge of cryptomoney (and money markets) who were willing to put money into one of the hottest ICOs.

This time, however, things are very different.
