Bitcoin price broke out from a tightening range to rally above $9,500 but will BTC hold above the crucial resistance level?

Perhaps the move is purely technical as Bitcoin has been compressing into a tighter range of higher lows and lower highs since early June, or possibly investor sentiment has been buoyed by the following massive breaking Bitcoin news today:

US Banking Regulator Greenlights Crypto Custody at Federally Chartered Banks

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has given permission to allow federally chartered U.S. banks to provide clients with crypto custody services. 

This is a positive step forward as it removes some of the rigamarole involved in acquiring and storing cryptocurrency, meaning, crypto investors will eventually be able to hold their digital assets in the same bank where they keep their checking, savings, and brokerage accounts. 

The recent announcement from the European Union to kickstart another $857 billion euro round of stimulus and the expectation that the U.S. Federal Reserve will follow suit with a $1 to $2 trillion economic stimulus package could also be boosting investors’ belief that as long as the Fed is printing, equities will rise and Bitcoin will soon make another run at $10,000. 

This issue has seen much skepticism, given that crypto wallets do not resemble the custody requirements of other sorts of assets. Nonetheless, in its interpretive letter on the subject, the OCC wrote: 

“The OCC recognizes that, as the financial markets become increasingly technological, there will likely be increasing need for banks and other service providers to leverage new technology and innovative ways to provide traditional services on behalf of customers.”

In the words of the announcement, the new opinion “applies to national banks and federal savings associations of all sizes.”

The OCC’s letter further specifies that bank “custody” of crypto assets is dependent on their access to the keys to the crypto wallets rather than any sort of physical requirement — a confirmation of Andreas Antonopoulos’ famous line of “not your keys, not your coins.” the OCC specifies:

“That national banks may escrow encryption keys used in connection with digital certificates because a key escrow service is a functional equivalent to physical safekeeping.”

In regards to the new rounds of stimulus Gemini exchange co-founder and CEO Tyler Winklevoss suggested that: 

“The Fed continues to set the stage for Bitcoin’s bull run.”

Central bank printing continues to push the markets higher In traditional markets, silver started off the week with a strong pump which completed a nice cup and handle pattern on the daily timeframe, and at the time of writing the asset is up 19.25% for the week. 

Gold has also continued its upward trajectory by pushing to a new high at $1,874 today. To date, gold has gained 29% since the coronavirus-driven market correction occurred in mid-March.

The altcoin chart set-ups that get the least engagement usually pump the hardestThat’s because most people arent in & that same mass of people won’t care unless you’re sharing about an asset they’re in

Until after that alt pumps – that tends to grab attention

Is XRP gearing up for a massive bull breakout?

History says a $12 XRP price is possible! Crypto Analyst, Galaxy says, “Every bullish MACD crossover on the weekly chart was followed by significant price increases.”

During such crossovers, the lowest gain XRP saw was 170% and the best percentage gain was 4600%.

This means the XRP price could spike somewhere between $0.685 to about $12.

This would increase the XRP’s market cap to over $500 billion – surpassing that of Bitcoin’s which is currently around $145 billion – and become the leading cryptocurrency if BTC remains stable.

Peter Brandt shares some chart evidence that $XRP is bottoming against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin price needs to hit $340,000 just to match its performance from its last BTC halving cycle, data shows.

In a Twitter series on Aug. 20, popular statistics resource ChartsBTC noted that the BTC price still has huge room for growth at current levels of $11,700.

Comparing lows, highs and halving prices from its two previous Bitcoin halving cycles, ChartsBTC put the difference between peaks at 36x for the 2012 cycle and 17x for the 2016 cycle.

In order to repeat even the more modest cycle’s success, BTC/USD would have to trade at $340,000. 36x from last cycle’s high — Bitcoin’s all-time record of $20,000 — comes to $720,000.

Comparing cycle lows, the results are even more dramatic — the smallest jump of 130x from the previous cycle would deliver a Bitcoin price of $400,000.

Running the same diagnosis for Bitcoin’s price at the time of its halving events, the price target is $250,000.

“The multiples from prior cycles applied to the current one arrive at highs between $250k and $1.6M in the next 18 months,” ChartsBTC summarized.

The account noted that while the math adds up, there is little evidence which demands that such levels really do appear within the given timeframe. “While this may sound exciting, it’s just hopium,” it added.

“The prior highs and lows won’t dictate the future.”

Yearn Finance (YFI) Becomes First Altcoin to Exceed the Price of Bitcoin – Now What?

Yearn.finance’s native governance token YFI became the first-ever altcoin to surpass the price of Bitcoin (BTC) on Aug. 20.

It spiked to as high as $13,444 on Binance, fueled by the growing demand for Decentralized Finance, or DeFi.

Yearn.finance is a DeFi protocol that launched in July with no premine in a decentralized setting by developer Andre Cronje.

It is the first protocol on Ethereum that claims to give token holders all the power to govern the network.

Blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock said`:

“Just a month ago, the yearn.finance token was trading around the $1000 mark. #YFI is up more than 10x in one month, climbing to $10,551.25 yEarn Finance is the first project on Ethereum, whose governance is entirely in the hands of token holders.”

Cryptocurrency researcher Hasu explains yearn.finance as a platform that allows users to execute various investment strategies.

He says: “If you’re not familiar with Yearn, you can think of it as a smart bank account that automatically allocates your assets to different low-risk investment strategies that execute on the Ethereum blockchain.”

The price of YFI, the governance token of the protocol, increased naturally as the total value locked in yearn.finance surged.

According to data from Defipulse, more than $670 million worth of capital is locked in yearn.finance.

Compared to other tokens, the price of YFI is high due to its unique monetary supply.

Its supply is capped at 30,000, which is significantly lower than most digital assets.

While the price of YFI has surpassed $12,000, its market capitalization remains below $400 million.

By market cap, it is the 45th biggest cryptocurrency in the global market.

As such, crypto startup investor Ian Lee explained that YFI surpassing Bitcoin is more of a psychological event than anything else.

He explained:

“YFI ‘flipping’ BTC price is arbitrary & more psychologically than practically important. What is important is what yearn.finance is doing & Andre Cronje is building in DeFi.”
