Bitcoin News

The Bitcoin bulls have successfully struggled above $ 8800 and have now pushed the price above $ 9000. Trader Crypto Michaël saw this success as a clear sign of a further breakthrough for $ 9400.

Trader proposed another scenario that could come true if Bitcoin failed to defend the $ 8800 level. In this case, the Bitcoin price could lose 15% in the short term, dropping to $ 7600.

According to trader Scott Melker, Bitcoin faced a serious rejection at a 61.8% Fib retracement level, this could indicate that $ 9,000 is the peak of the recent rally.

According to price estimates in May 2019, after breaking through these two resistance levels, the ETH price has risen more than 100% before reversing a price drop.

Analyst Dave the Wave posted a chart last week and noted that when the ETH price regains the $ 150 zone, the next target will be $ 200.

According to the CEO, Ethereum’s gas crisis has affected Ethereum Classic.

The stablecoin will be pegged to a basket of assets such as gold, fiat currencies, and government debt. However, no formal application or proposals appear to have been filed with US regulators yet.
