Bitcoin (BTC) could undergo one last bear market capitulation if "whales" — addresses that hold more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin — ramp up their selling pressure, according to on-chain analyst Willy Woo. Room for another Bitcoin drop? Woo assessed the average price at which short-term investors entered the Bitcoin market across history and charted the daily change in the value. That resulted in a cost basis, a metric that signals when "inexperienced" traders sell BTC to "experienced" traders during a BTC free fall, which typically coincides with the market bottom. The cost basis underwent significant dips during the …

THORChain (RUNE) could continue its upward momentum in the coming weeks even as it treads inside a classic bearish reversal structure. RUNE's price has rebounded strongly by over 165% four weeks after testing its multi-month horizontal level support near $3.15. What's more, its upside retracement has opened up possibilities about an extended bull run toward $11.50, about 45% above the current price level near $7.89, as shown in the chart below. The $11.50-level coincides with RUNE's multi-month falling trendline resistance, forming a descending triangle, a bearish setup, in conjunction with the lower horizontal support. That could have RUNE's price correct …

Behind the KuCoin creation, there are two tech geeks who were early blockchain adopters. Having started coding at the age of 8 and founded his first startup at 16, in 2012, Michael heard about Bitcoin (BTC) from his boss Eric at a private equity investment firm IDG Capital, and immediately began mining. While he tried to sell some Bitcoin on the Mt.Gox exchange, which was the world's largest trading platform at the time, he discovered how difficult it was for beginners to navigate. By the end of 2013, realizing the potential of crypto, Michael and Eric wrote the first code …

Understanding the valuation matrix There is no rule book on how to assess an NFT valuation. The metrics you use for evaluating private companies or conventional investment vehicles such as shares are simply not applicable to NFTs. Usually, the payment rolled out by the last buyer gives some indication of the value. For NFTs, however, it is hard to guess what the next buyer might pay, depending on their estimates. Most buyers lack the skills to ascertain the value of NFTs logically and base their quotes on guesswork. For sellers too, it is hard to determine what they might end …

A digital asset’s price rally rarely comes out of the blue. Before the token’s market value explodes, some collateral forces come into motion. The asset can suddenly attract abnormally high online attention, its trading volume can go up dramatically, or some market-moving information can go public that triggers the first two examples. Mastering the art of crypto trading means learning to see those subtle cues early on. Spiking trading volume is one of the signs that something interesting might be brewing around a crypto asset. Often, trading volume simply follows a price trend, with the coin entering a virtuous circle …

Stacks (STX) pared a considerable portion of the gains it made on March 10 as the euphoria surrounding its $165 million pledge to support Bitcoin (BTC) projects showed signs of fading. STX's price dropped by over 30% to reach a level as low as $1.33 on Friday when measured from its week-to-date high of $1.94. The selloff, in part, appeared technical as the $1.94-top fell in the same range that served as solid support between October 2021 and January 2022, only to flip later to become a resistance area. It also appears that traders spotted selling opportunities due to STX's …

With an always-on presence, a lack of regulation and unpredictable volatility, the crypto market isn’t an easy one to break into. New traders are often overwhelmed at everything presented to them and are easy prey for well-designed scams and rug pulls. That said, it’s possible to learn the market and approach trading in a knowledgeable way, but a lot of that knowledge comes with experience. And that experience is only gained by losing money. At least, that’s how it feels in the crypto space. However, one startup, Ninja Fantasy Trader, is aiming to fix that issue, creating a safe space …

BTC rebounds from solid 2022 support Bitcoin's drop toward $37,000 yesterday was met with modest buying sentiment, leading to a price rebound above $39,000 on March 8.

Another big drop in the U.S. stock market could leave Ethereum's native token Ether (ETH) in a similar downside spell, according to the latest Bloomberg report on digital assets. Ethereum faces global recession risks Mike McGlone, the senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, anticipates U.S. equities to face downside pressure against the prospects of the ongoing energy-price spikes and their ability to invoke a 2008-like global market recession "The war in Ukraine and spiking crude make a potent combination for a global recession," wrote McGlone in the report, adding that top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether could also face initial …

Similar to the mid-1990s dot-com era, cryptocurrencies are said to be nearing a phase of hyper-adoption, where growth hits an inflection point and begins a trajectory towards the moon. Looking at the past decade, cryptocurrency adoption can largely be attributed to the emergence of exchange platforms. With numerous exchanges at play, many first-time users have successfully braved the path into the world of digital currencies. Ironically, while these exchanges have been key to the success of cryptocurrency adoption to date, they have also been the cause for a new debate, one between using a centralized exchange (CEX) or decentralized exchange …
