The Bitcoin price currently stands at $27,100, signaling a 60% drop from its 2021 peak of $69,000. As anticipation mounts for the next bullish phase, investors are grappling with questions about Bitcoin’s future price trajectory. Since its inception, Bitcoin has been a paragon of exponential growth, rewarding early adopters handsomely. This upward trend can be vividly seen when comparing the lows and highs of Bitcoin’s price across different bull markets. In 2011, Bitcoin peaked at $33, followed by a staggering $1,240 peak in 2013, translating to a remarkable 3,800% surge between these points. Subsequent peaks in 2017 and 2021 hit $20,000 and $69,000, showcasing increases of 1,600% and 350%, respectively. Similar patterns emerge when examining the lows of these market cycles. However, the growth rate between these cycles has diminished, possibly due to Bitcoin’s increased market capitalization, which demands more substantial investments to influence its price. This ...

The losses on US Treasuries recently surpassed $1.5 trillion and the likely outcome is turbulent markets, but how will Bitcoin price fare? The U.S. economy has been facing turbulent times lately, with the U.S. personal consumption expenditure (PCE) inflation index rising by a significant 3.5% over the past 12 months. Even when excluding the volatile food and energy sectors, it's evident that the efforts made by the U.S. Federal Reserve to curb inflation have fallen short of their 2% target rate. U.S. Treasuries have lost a staggering $1.5 trillion in value, primarily due to these rate hikes. This has led investors to question whether Bitcoin (BTC) and risk-on assets, including the stock market , will succumb to heightened interest rates and a monetary policy aimed at cooling economic growth. Theoretical losses of U.S. Treasury holders, USD. Source: @JoeConsorti As the U.S. Treasury keeps flooding the market with debt, there's a real risk that rates could climb even highe...

U.S. Representative Don Beyer has introduced a new bill, the Off-Chain Digital Commodity Transaction Reporting Act. This bill aims to safeguard investors from manipulation, disputes, and fraud in the crypto market. According to the new proposal, every trading platform must report all transactions to a repository registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).  You might also like: US CFTC official calls for developing fraud database Rep. Beyer stated: “As consumers increasingly turn to large digital asset trading platforms to conduct their business, thousands of transactions each day are conducted off the publicly verifiable blockchain,”. “Unfortunately, internal record keeping among these private entities can vary wildly, and this can leave investors and consumers vulnerable to fraud and manipulation. This bill is a common-sense measure to restore some transparency and confidence to the digital asset market.” The main obj...

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has thrown a wrench into the plans of Invesco, Bitwise, and Valkyrie by imposing unexpected delays. A decision by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, one that carries significant implications, has been postponed. The decision pertains to several proposals for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including a notable name like BlackRock. This unexpected delay looms ominously, coinciding with the anticipation of a government shutdown. In an unforeseen turn of events, the SEC has chosen to prolong the evaluation of the spot Bitcoin ETF applications submitted by Invesco, Bitwise, and Valkyrie. This decision, as reported in separate filings dated September 28, adds an air of uncertainty to the crypto landscape. Notably, Bloomberg’s ETF analyst, James Seyffart, anticipates that similar postponements may afflict the applications put forth by Fidelity, VanEck, and WidsomTree, adding to the general sense of unpredictabili...

If SHIB can maintain its support at $0.0000070, it could look to target levels above $0.00001. Similarly, if DOGE remains above $0.06, it could move towards the next resistance around $0.06344. Both PEPE and BONE are challenging key resistance levels after they recently rebounded from major support levels. Over the past 24 hours, most of the popular meme coins such as Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Pepe (PEPE) saw their prices rise, but Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) experienced a price decline despite its success over the past week. However, all 4 tokens still have the potential to see their prices rise in the coming days if things go well.

Ethereum is showing promising signs of a potential bounce-back after staying rooted above the $1,565 support level. Following Bitcoin’s lead, Ethereum is moving cautiously, building momentum towards breaking crucial resistance points. Recent developments saw Ethereum ascend past the $1,580 and $1,590 marks. Significantly, the price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level stemming from a drop between the highs of $1,669 and lows of $1,565. Moreover, Ethereum broke free from a significant bearish trend line, encountering resistance near $1,590 on the ETH/USD hourly chart. Currently, Ethereum is trading north of the $1,590 mark and remains buoyed by the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. As we look upwards, immediate resistance lurks at the $1,600 bracket. A more substantial barrier awaits at $1,620, aligning with the recent slide’s 50% Fib retracement level from $1,669 to $1,565. If Ethereum pours through the $1,620 resistance, the CRYPTOCURRENCY might set its sights high...

Shiba Inu recently defied its uptrend on the daily timeframe chart and has been consolidating around the $0.000007 threshold. In fact, it continues to trade below all its crucial EMAs. On the weekly timeframe, the weakness was even more prominent. As observed, SHIB is on a downtrend and continues to be engulfed within its descending channel.

More and more Ethereum blockchain operators have complied with sanctions from the OFAC, raising censorship concerns among decentralization proponents and network participants. Toni Wahrstätter, an Ethereum researcher, noted that five of the six largest block builders on Ethereum’s blockchain actively censor certain transactions in line with the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) directives.  Most of these censor ed transactions originate from decentralized mixer Tornado Cash, according to Wahrstätter, a protocol blacklisted by the Treasury Department due to its use by bad actors, including the North Korean hacker organization Lazarus.

A former attorney of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) believes prosecution by the Department of Justice (DOJ) is necessary to deal with crypto grifters. John Reed Stark, who spent 15 years as an SEC enforcement attorney leading cyber-related investigations, says crypto criminals treat regulatory enforcement with levity. DOJ prosecution in crypto-related fraud cases was lacking compared to the numerous enforcement actions by the SEC, he wrote on X. The situation is “mind-boggling,” Stark added.

Widely followed pseudonymous trader Altcoin Sherpa says one Dogecoin (DOGE) rival could make a bigger move to the upside. Altcoin Sherpa tells his 196,400 followers on the social media platform X that after breaking through a key resistance level, memecoin Pepe (PEPE) may not be done rallying. “PEPE: nice move today, I didn’t really see this one coming.
