The next Bitcoin (BTC) bull run will have to be much different from historical cryptocurrency rallies in terms of story and utility, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz believes. Compared to previous bull runs, the next Bitcoin rally will have to be more focused on utility and less on the story, Novogratz predicted at a panel at the Token2049 crypto event on Wednesday. One of the biggest historical rallies, the Bitcoin bull run of 2017, was mostly about the story, the CEO said, referring to the cryptocurrency’s run from about $1,000 to $20,000 within one year. According to Novogratz, the 2017 …

Bitcoin (BTC) hit new weekly lows into Sep. 28 as risk asset drawdown continued overnight. Trader: "First new lows" before Q4 recovery Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD falling to $18,461 on Bitstamp, down almost $2,000 versus the previous day’s high. The change of direction came in lock step with stocks, which turned red after initially heading marginally higher at the Wall Street open. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index ultimately finished the day down 0.25% and up 0.25%, respectively. Cypto, however, failed to recoup its losses, and while hopes were for Q4 to bring about …

Markets briefly flashed green on Sept. 27 as equities markets bounced back from Monday’s pullback, bringing BTC price back to the long term descending trendline resistance which currently resides at $20,100. Unfortunately for bulls, the positive momentum for stocks and cryptocurrencies rapidly eroded and Bitcoin price gave up a majority of the intraday gains as it slipped back below $19,000. As has been the case since March 25, BTC price has been unable to kick above the resistance for more than a few hours and the Sept. 27 breakdown at the trendline continues the trend of successive bear flags that …

Bitcoin (BTC) crossed under $20,000 after the Sep. 27 Wall Street open as United States equities inched higher. U.S. dollar has room to run — trader Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirmed the $20,000 mark barely remaining as tentative support on the day. BTC/USD had managed local highs of $20,344 on Bitstamp overnight, while retracing U.S. dollar strength gave modest relief to risk assets across the board. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index had been up 0.4% and 0.65%, respectively after two hours’ trading, but subsequently reversed. At the same time, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) was …

Bitcoin (BTC) will see increased interest from the United Kingdom “very quickly” as fiat currency volatility makes BTC look like a stablecoin. That was the conclusion from Gabor Gurbacs, strategy advisor at investment giant VanEck, one of many flagging Bitcoin’s appeal over the pound this week. UK becomes fertile ground for Bitcoin "orange pill" As the U.S. dollar runs rampant, its strength has come at the expense of trading partner currencies, notably the euro, pound and Japanese yen. The pound’s disintegration gathered pace this week, however, as GBP/USD hit its lowest on record at nearly $1.03. With the United Kingdom’s …

Bitcoin (BTC) is seeing some of its oldest coins come back to life after a decade lying dormant. The latest on-chain data reveals that two-year BTC price lows have reawakened the most ancient part of the supply. "Very old" bitcoins come back to life As BTC/USD returns to levels not seen since Q4 2020, questions are arising over how long-term holders will respond. The on-chain picture is mixed — the dormant supply is aging, but certain old hands are showing signs of wanting to sell at current prices. The latest piece of the puzzle comes in the form of BTC …

Bitcoin (BTC) delivered long-anticipated volatility on Sep. 27 as a squeeze higher resulted in a push beyond $20,000. BTC price 9-day highs greet traders Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it added over 7% after the Sep. 26 close.

The move naturally did not go unnoticed by in trading circles, but opinions differed over the outcome, amid warnings that the whole episode may end up trapping overoptimistic traders taking late long positions. “No [rejection] yet, but soon. Expecting higher for now,” …

Michael J. Burry, the financial wizard who was portrayed in the movie "The Big Short", is known for predicting crises. For instance, his investment fund made billions from the 2008 housing crash, and Burry liquidated almost all his entire portfolio during the 2Q of 2022. Given that no one seems to know whether traditional markets will bounce before entering a further recessive environment, it might be a good time to consider investing in cryptocurrencies. Below are some examples on how experienced investors sometimes miss incredible rallies. In May 2017, Burry said people should expect a "global financial meltdown" and World …

The United Kingdom is in focus following the British pound’s fall to a new all-time low against the United States dollar. The sell-off was triggered by the aggressive tax cuts announced by Prime Minister Liz Truss’s government. The 10-year gilt yields have soared by 131 basis points in September, on track for its biggest monthly increase since 1957, according to Reuters. The currency crisis and the soaring U.S dollar index (DXY) may not be good news for U.S. equities and the cryptocurrency markets. A ray of hope for Bitcoin (BTC) investors is that the pace of decline has slowed down …

Bitcoin (BTC) volatility edged higher during Sep. 26 as the Wall Street open avoided significant losses. Monthly close tipped to shake up BTC price Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD circling $19,000 on the day, with hourly candles of 1.5%-2% not uncommon. The pair was expected to break out of its narrow trading range in the short term, having consolidated since Sep. 22. For Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, a tap of the area at the top of the range should signal continuation higher. “Theory still stands for Bitcoin,” he told …

Bitcoin (BTC) starts a new week staring down a wild macro environment after sealing its lowest weekly close in nearly two years. As risk assets across the global economy take a hammering and the U.S. dollar surges, the largest cryptocurrency is on a limp footing. September, having started out on bulls’ side, is now living up to its informal crypto market nickname — “Septembear” — and BTC/USD is currently down 6.2% since the start of the month. The bad news keeps coming for hodlers, who are clinging to dormant coins in increasing numbers as the dollar runs rampant and mainstream …

The major United States stock market indices continued their decline last week as worsening macroeconomic conditions increased concerns of a global recession. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at its lowest level in 2022 and major indices recorded their fifth weekly close in the past six weeks. Although Bitcoin (BTC) has only declined marginally this week, it risks closing at the lowest level since 2020. While a new multi-year weekly close is a negative sign, sellers will have to sustain the lower levels or else it may turn out to be a bear trap. The price action of the next …
