The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is facing its final resistance zone until the bull market is on fire. However, will it break through this resistance zone in one attempt? The charts suggest that the $11,600-12,000 area is a crucial level to break if the price of BTC is to continue moving higher. As the price of Bitcoin couldn’t break through that resistance zone, a slight drop occurred on Friday from $11,900 to $11,350, after which BTC has managed to pare most of the losses since.Crypto market daily performance.

Year after year, the ransomware landscape changes dramatically. In 2019, a new resurgence of attacks occurred as businesses and government institutions became the main targets of ransomware, given their capacity to yield larger payouts. The most recent attack was against Garmin, a navigation systems company, on July 23. Due to the attack, many of its online services such as customer support, website functions and company communications were affected. Reportedly, the Russian cybergang Evil Corp launched the attack, demanding $10 million in cryptocurrency to restore access to Garmin’s services. Overall, according to a

Bitcoin has slid lower over the past 24 hours as the cryptocurrency failed to surmount $12,000 in the latest leg higher. As of the time of this article’s writing, BTC trades for $11,600 — 5% shy of the local highs. Investors are still reeling from the flash crash that transpired approximately one week ago. While that was seemingly a black swan event, a trader is fearing a secondary event. The individual in question is a two-time BitMEX return on equity (ROE) leaderboard trader, meaning he has a strong track record.

Ethereum, like Bitcoin, is facing a bout of consolidation as it trades below its crucial near-term resistance This level has held strong throughout the past several days, and each attempt to break above $400 has been met with an influx of selling pressure One result of this consolidation phase has been the emergence of multiple bearish signals that all point to imminent downside Analysts believe that unless ETH gains ground against BTC, it could be forming a local top on its USD trading pair This could mean significant downside is

Bitcoin’s latest attempt to climb on the charts has been met by some degree of success, with the world’s largest cryptocurrency, after a long time, managing to hold a level above the psychological resistance of $10,000. At press time, Bitcoin was being traded at $11,736 with a trading volume of $8.3 billion.Source: CoinStatsSuch success was underlined by the fact that while BTC failed in its attempt to sustain a breach of $12,000, it didn’t fall below $11,000, implying that Bitcoin is again building up strength before its next effort.

Is Bitcoin Too Hard To Understand? I’ve spent a huge part of the last three years explaining Bitcoin to general audiences and the most common form of resistance I encounter is: “Bitcoin is too complicated. The masses will never understand it.” It’s a fair argument. Bitcoin is complicated and if you want to reach a competent understanding of the big picture then, at a minimum, you’d better get ready to learn about peer-to-peer networks, cryptography and the history of money. It’s for this reason that I find it bizarre when

This article originally appeared in our Weekly Bits newsletter. If you want our news and analysis before anyone else, make sure you subscribe now! In my view, Bitcoin Independence Day is a holiday that says a lot about the BTC community. Its origins are highly technical and difficult to understand, the “independence” it celebrates refers to the developer community overcoming interests from industrialized miners and, ultimately, it’s a chance for Bitcoiners to reflect on the young history of the technology and engage in debate. To celebrate, Bitcoin Magazine hosted a day

Even though we said in yesterday’s update that we weren’t going to cover the Microsoft TikTok talks, it seems things have now escalated to the point where it seems difficult to ignore, especially in light of unprecedented intervention from the president. Shortly after we hit the send button, President Donald Trump stated that TikTok now has a deadline of September 15 to sell off all its U.S. operations to an American company, be it Microsoft, Apple, or anyone else. In addition, the president has stated that the U.S. Department of

Hope you had an excellent weekend. It’s become a bit of a rarity lately while bitcoin was sitting flat, but now that crypto is in a bull market again, I suppose it makes sense to see some volatility over the weekend. Hope it’s not surprising to anyone. Stocks are moving up, precious metals are marching higher, and capital is flowing toward new age financial technology in a way that we’ve never really seen before. There’s a lot more liquidity these days, and it has been floating into all sorts of

Bitcoin has been flashing some mixed signs to investors as of late Despite seeing intense bullishness throughout the past week as it rallied from the lower-$10,000 region to highs of $12,000, analysts still remain cautious regarding where it may trend next Their present lack of bullishness is rooted in the cryptocurrency’s inability to close its weekly candle above $11,700 This is a historically important level that analysts were closely watching over the past couple of days That being said, it has still maintained above its crucial macro support of $10,600

The Hong-Kong-based company Crypto.com announced a token swap program on Monday. All MCO token holders have until the 2nd of November 2020 to swap their MCO for CRO. The announcement catalyzed MCO trading volume and caused the price to surge. However, several users note some red flags around the whole merging process. Is this operation legit? Is it possible that there’s been insider trading? The Year of Crypto.com 2020 is proving to be very profitable for Crypto.com. As BeInCrypto reported not long ago, the CRO token has been one of
