THE NEXT CRYPTO BULL RUN: BITCOIN AND ETHEREUM

Since Bitcoin was launched in 2009, price has maintained a strong bullish movement with about 410,000% gain, from $0.09 in 2009 to its current price at $36,700. The current $BTC market capitalization stands at $678Billion. Ethereum, on the other hand, is the second largest crypto with current market capitalization at $299Billion after its launch in 2015.

This signifies that most crypto assets are less than a decade. Ethereum has since its inception has been publicly accepted by Crypto traders and investors. Hence, the reason for the bullish movement. Just like other markets, the crypto market is a bull and bear market. High leverage usage must have wiped off some accounts due to greed. Currently, the crypto market is about $1.62Trillion with Bitcoin and Ethereum having over 61% of the market share. There are other thousands of cryptos newly introduced e.g. Ripple, Dash, Tether, Litecoin, Cardano etc. all of these make up the remaining 39% share of the crypto market.

Bitcoin, in June 2020, was below $10,000. As at today, Bitcoin is above $36,000. Ethereum in June 2020 was below $300, the price of Ethereum today stands at $2,600. In the last one year, Ethereum has done far better than Bitcoin in investment gains. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum reached an all-time high in 2021. Ethereum reached $4,370 in may 2021 and Bitcoin reached $63,000 in March 2021. With Bitcoin and Ethereum having 61% of the total crypto market, they both have a major influence in the price movement of other coins. The increased acceptability of Bitcoin and Ethereum will determine the acceptability of other coins.

After the all time high was reached in March 2021 at $63,000, price was almost halved after it reached $31,200.

About $30,000 was wiped out in the price of Bitcoin last month, which made it the worst month in Bitcoin history with 41% lost from the highest price. Bitcoin has a very strong resistance at $43,980, a bullish breakout from this level might result in a fake out as price on the weekly chart is currently in the lower region of the Bollinger bands. The recent dip affected most of the assets in the Crypto market. Price of $BTC might rally towards $44,000, but the bears might push the price lower to reach $19,000. If a dip occurs, this will reflect in the prices of other cryptos. The next dip might also push price of Ethereum to $1,500.

WILL BITCOIN PRICE EVER REACH $60,000 AGAIN?

This is the big question begging for answers in the heart of many traders and investors.

In the past, there had been many speculations predicting the price of Bitcoin to reach $100,000. Attempting to hit that $100,000, BTC reached the all-time high at $61,000 in March 2021. Since then, price has been retesting around $61,000.

Using the daily Chart, BTC in the past shows that price has been overbought. There are over 4 instances of price being overbought on the RSI with the bulls pushing price from $3,940 in March 2020 to $61,000 in March 2021. BTC has been able to do 15X since March 2020. The weekly time frame revealed the bull dominance since the beginning of the year 2020.

As it stands, the weekly charts show strong bearish dominance which might last for about a year or more. As price could not break the resistance level of $61,000 to the upside, throughout the month of May 2021, price has been ranging between resistance Level 1 and resistance level 2.

Yesterday, price was able to break the support level at $43,680. Many blamed Elon Musk for dumping the use of Bitcoin to purchase Tesla earlier in the week, which might have made $BTC to dip. The current price of $BTC is below $40,000, with the price of $BTC finding a new resistance around $43,680. A continuous dip might push price to $19,000.There is currently no bullish opportunity on the chart. A breakout of price to the upside, above resistance level 2 might push price upwards. However, the breakout might be a fake one.

Bitcoin Bulls Are Becoming More Active

Almost all hopes were lost by investors when Bitcoin price took a dip. The year 2018 was hugely bearish for $BTC. $BTC’s dip was over 84% in a single year. In 2019, however, there have been low activities in the Bitcoin market. But in the last three months, the Bitcoin bulls are beginning to drive the market upwards. This recent upward movement might push the prices of alternative coins up. The price of $BTC on the Bollinger bands from the upper region of the bands is yet to cross to the lower region. A reversal might have just occurred because a breakout from the trendlines have occurred.

RSI is yet to show an oversold from the selloff which occurred last year. Ichimoku is yet to give a signal for a bullish move. With all indications, the price of $BTC might reach 10000 from its current 5,241. This might amaze you because hopes have been lost in the past few months. The long trendlines have been broken to the upward direction.

New Year, New Markets

Happy new year! It is 2018 and the only market that doesn’t sleep now is the cryptocurrency market. This is a brand new market being created right before our very eyes. What a time to be alive! No matter the asset or investment vehicle, human nature still reigns supreme. And in a pure market where human nature reigns (and not algos), technical analysis works so beautifully. But if you trade based on the news, you’ve been in for a wild ride. While the king of cryptos is Bitcoin ($BTC.X), 2017 saw an explosion in blockchain innovation that allowed many other coins to be created by just about anybody. This explosion in coins led to an explosion in wealth creation as buyers and sellers raced to the markets. Traders, investors and techies from the West to Zimbabwe have been making money in cryptos and everybody wants in.

Seeing the frenzy for information, I decided to host my first investment event, “What is Bitcoin, Anyway”. I rescheduled this event 3 times since September. I was originally going to talk about the importance of investing. (*yawn*) I forgot to order food. I also forgot to send out invitations. It was my first event! I was concentrating so hard on getting the talk and presentation right that the event production went right out the window. LOL oh well. Thankfully, my office is in a WeWork so the venue hid my blunders well. I had a good audience and the presentation was so well received that I was asked to do another.

Yes, I will have another crypto event despite the crash in cryptocurrencies right now all across the board. While I understand the hesitancy in buying cryptos, I also think it is irresponsible to write off any investment opportunity due to ignorance. However, it is also irresponsible to invest, in a market this new and still unregulated, alone or naive. Do as much learning as you can. Read, watch and ask questions. Hire an investment adviser. Get a mentor. Every investment story is the same, so always do your homework — trade what you see, not what you hear.

And stay tuned for my next event, First Friday Pasadena. February is the #crypto edition?
