BITCOIN CAN HIT $147K BY MID-MAY IF BTC REPEATS THIS PATTERN!! ETHEREUM (ETH) BULLISH PRICE TARGET!!

➡️ Tap into OPM (Other People’s Money): http://opm.cryptonewsalerts.net

The Bitcoin price rose to as high as $10,272 on July 26 in an unexpected weekend rally.

It liquidated $74 million worth of long contracts on BitMEX alone, catching many traders off guard.

There appear to be two main reasons behind the abrupt upsurge of Bitcoin from $9,700 to over $10,200.

They are the liquidation of over-leveraged shorts and traders taking profit from over-extended alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins).

When the price started to rally, major altcoins, as well as well-performing DeFi tokens, began to slump.

Ethereum declined from $322 to $311, and DeFi tokens, including Aave and YFI, saw steep rejections. 

The simultaneous rejections of major altcoins and the price surge of Bitcoin suggest that traders took profit from recent altcoin rallies.

As traders moved their altcoin gains to Bitcoin, it possibly triggered a BTC uptrend, while altcoins declined.

ETH, as an example, rose from $247 on July 23 to $322 on the day’s peak, recording a 30% gain.

Despite the strong sentiment around altcoins, investors are possibly taking a more cautious approach by hedging their gains.

When Bitcoin initially broke over $10,000, it triggered over-leveraged short contracts to become liquidated.

When BTC reached $10,200, it caused a cascade of liquidations to occur, totaling $74 million.

Bitcoin has seen many phases when more than $50 million worth of short or long contracts gets liquidated.

But for this to occur within a span of a few hours is less typical.

The mass liquidations of long contracts at $10,000 also suggest that the $10,000 to $10,200 remains as a heavy resistance area.

As soon as BTC hit $10,200, the price dropped below $10,000, marking a short-lived rally.

As the price of Bitcoin recovered strongly in recent weeks, some industry executives and investors expressed optimism toward BTC and ETH.

“Are you ready?” Grayscale CEO Barry Silbert tweeted when Ether price broke out of the dreaded $280 resistance level on July 25.

Well-known trader Peter Brandt, meanwhile, expects the price of Bitcoin to hit a new record high and eventually make its way to $50,000. He said:

“That is actually where my head is. Massive symmetrical triangle in $BTC points to ATHs, then $50k.”

Everything You Need to Know About Ethereum 2.0

The yearslong upgrade – intended to radically transform the world’s largest smart-contract platform – is inching closer to deployment.

The Ethereum Foundation recently announced “Medalla,” a final testnet before the mainnet launch of the Eth 2.0 beacon chain.

As of July 10, some developers, including Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, estimate the oft-delayed Eth 2.0 will launch by the end of this year. 

When phase zero of Eth 2.0 does ship, little about Ethereum will change in the near term for users and dapp developers.

This is because unlike all other system-wide upgrades in Ethereum history, the Eth 2.0 overhaul will primarily be happening on a different blockchain.

The first phase of development for Eth 2.0 is centered around the creation of a separate proof-of-stake blockchain network called the beacon chain.

On this new network, ETH holders with a minimum of 32 ETH can earn rewards in the form of annualized interest on their wealth.

To earn these rewards, ETH holders must have the appropriate hardware and software connecting to the beacon chain and a strong understanding of how the technology works.

#DeFi platforms are red-hot with nearly $1b in collateral pledged. Oracles empower not only DeFi, but just about everything that 2nd & 3rd-generation cryptos do. So, it’s hardly an exaggeration to say that #Chainlink will lie at the heart of the #crypto revolution going forward.

Bitcoin and crypto are poised to speed up globalization and the decentralization of industries, making them immune to questionable government economic policies, according to tech venture capitalist and BTC bull Tim Draper.

Back in 2018, the tech billionaire made a bold public call that the Bitcoin price would reach $250,000 by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

This year he doubled down on his bullish BTC prediction jokingly stating, “If Bitcoin does not hit $250,000 by early 2023, I’ll eat a raw egg.”

“That’s my prediction. Sticking with it. I’m very confident that that is going to happen. That’s happening. It’s kind of funny.”

During the most recent LA Blockchain Summit, Draper speaks about how the massive global transformation ushered in by the Internet is making borders meaningless.

Now, Draper says Bitcoin is about to change everything from real estate to banking.

“When bitcoin came along, all of a sudden, we had a currency that we could use globally and one that we could have faith in even if a government for instance printed 13 trillion dollars, we could still have a currency that would not dilute. 

And that was the beginning of something that I think is going to be a major change in the world. And I think the world is going to go through an anthropological leap because we realize we used to be tribal, and that was sort of a way of being secure. We’d say, ‘Okay, this is the border, don’t cross this border and our people will be safe.’

Well now we realize that the borders are becoming more and more meaningless and the decentralized world becomes more important and it will be everything from banking to insurance to real estate to governance that are gonna change and become decentralized around the world and that’s gonna make us global, completely global.”

“Those barriers are bad for us. But they’re also really just kind of the roar of the dying lion as we move to this new world. And it’s very exciting. And then if you break down crypto, it starts with Bitcoin and it starts with a currency, and a blockchain, and a smart contract.

And then it moves to DeFi (decentralized finance), where all the things that are happening with dollars today now can start to happen with crypto. From there, I think you move to the e-commerce world where open node and others like it can bring it so that the merchants can tap Bitcoin.

I think that those are the three stages and once those stages are done and it’s easy to use and the world opens up, we are going to have a truly crypto, decentralized, open-world.”

Craziest Chart in Crypto Shows Billions of Dollars Set to Pour Into Bitcoin, Says Top Analyst

The highly-cited pseudonymous analyst, known in the industry as Filbfilb, says the $10.9 billion rise of Tether (USDT) in 2020 suggests traders are storing their capital in the dollar-pegged stablecoin as they prepare to buy BTC.

The analyst notes USDT expansion – which has been on the rise since the coronavirus-related market crash in March – has historically preceded Bitcoin price increases.

And Tether has expanded massively in the past month alone, he says.

“Since 30th August, USDT expansion has been $5 billion – that’s [a] 50% increase… FIFTY – that 50% is greater than the ENTIRE USDT cap that took BTC to $14k last time… AND price retracted since by c. 10%. I don’t subscribe to Tether conspiracies, but I do subscribe to supply and demand.

This has to be the craziest chart in crypto right now. The positive correlation of Tether expansion / BTC appreciation in 2019 was quite something. In 2020 Tether has expanded from $4.1 billion to $15 billion – FIFTEEN.

The first official day of the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami, Florida yielded no shortage of newsworthy events. My favorite highlight is Bitcoin O.G. Max Keiser on stage with Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor chanting, “WE’RE NOT SELLING, FOOK ELON”!! Max’s energy was off the blockchain contagious and through the roof.

Thousands of conference-goers came together to take in speeches, interviews and panels from a wide array of guests, such as Miami mayor Francis Suarez, who spoke about the city’s efforts “to create the Bitcoin, blockchain and mining capital of the world.”
