BITCOIN PRICE IS FALLING WITH THE STOCK MARKET!!!

Bitcoin (BTC) failed to maintain its technical strength after bouncing off $9,000 last week, recently slipping under that crucial support after days of back-and-forth between bulls and bears.

On leading derivatives exchanges, the BTC price fell as low as $8,920.

Prices fell to a similar region on spot exchanges. From the day’s highs, Bitcoin is down around 6%.

Altcoins are down a similar amount to BTC, with all cryptocurrencies trading with a high correlation as is the norm.

Approximately $20 million worth of BitMEX long positions have been liquidated in the past two hours, according to data from Skew.com.

This adds to the approximately $10 million more in liquidations that have taken place over the past 24 hours as BTC has expressed weakness.

Along with the liquidations, data from cryptocurrency data site CryptoQuant indicated that during the move lower, there was an influx of Bitcoin being deposited into exchange-owned wallets.

This suggests there was (and maybe still is) a panic amongst holders to sell their coins as expectations of a strong move lower grow.

Bitcoin’s latest leg of weakness corresponds with a blood-red open for the futures of American equities.

As can be seen in the chart below, from the open of the S&P 500 futures (ES1) on Sunday evening, Bitcoin traded in an effective lockstep with equities.

The futures are down 3% since their open, meaning they are slightly outperforming BTC.

The cryptocurrency trader that predicted BTC would see a V-shaped reversal from March’s lows commented on this phenomenon of correlation on June 14th:

“Once equities correct strongly, odds that $BTC sees a correction too are large. Simple math, increased demand for cash may have its influence temporarily.”

Unfortunately for Bitcoin bulls, there are prominent investors expecting stocks to continue to correct lower.

Guggenheim Partners’ global CIO Scott Minerd recently went on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” to discuss his outlook for stocks.

The prominent fund manager said that he sees a scenario in which the S&P 500 falls to a fresh low of 1,600, which would be a nearly 50% drop from the current price point.

Considering that Bitcoin crashed around 50% on a less-than 10% drop in the stock market, such a drop could prove to be disastrous for cryptocurrencies.

FINANCIAL AUTHOR THINKS BITCOIN IS “LIKELY” TO BECOME THE WORLD RESERVE CURRENCY

Speaking to Max Keiser of Keiser Report, CEO of e-commerce company BuildDirect and a financial author Jeff Booth said that he thinks Bitcoin is a “likely candidate for world reserve currency” status:

“First of all, I see Bitcoin as a likely, a very likely candidate for a world reserve currency. So, I see it has a really good chance of winning over time as it works on a network effect.”

Booth is far from the first individual to have identified a scenario in which Bitcoin rises to become the world’s reserve currency, or at least grows to a point where it makes an attempt at that title.

Preston Pysh, a prominent financial analyst and author, explained that the fiat money system is poised to “break.”

By “break,” he means a world where there is either complete “social unrest” due to effectively too much money in the system or a “natural transition to a different form of money” as people lose faith in the old system.

Pysh sees Bitcoin as a likely contender to become the “different form of money” because “it’s the option none of the governments want, but it’s also the solution they can’t easily stop.”

Bitcoin Price Dives Under $9,000 as S&P 500 Starts Week Off Blood Red

➡️ REPLAY: “The Crypto Catch-Up” – http://teeka.cryptonewsalerts.net

With Bitcoin turning bullish, the mainstream institutions are also taking a special interest in the leading cryptocurrency. 

The latest is Citibank, whose bitcoin technical analysis sees lofty price targets at over $300k per BTC by the end of 2021.

Thomas Fitzpatrick, Global head of CitiFXTechnicals product, the author of the report, traces the historical price performance of Bitcoin, which reflects that timeframes for the rally are getting longer, which puts this rally to peak in December 2021 at $318k.

“Improbable though that seems it would only be a low to high rally of 102 times (the weakest rally so far in percentage terms),” with arguments in favor of Bitcoin at their most persuasive ever, he wrote.

The report notes how Bitcoin is all about “unthinkable rallies followed by painful corrections” but a type of pattern that sustains a long term trend.

As such though it’s to be seen if such lofty levels will be hit, “the price action we are looking at clearly suggest the potential for a major move higher nonetheless in the next 12-24 months,” reads the report whose snippets were first shared by trader and economist Alex Kruger.

Although “this kind of technical analysis is of little value,” Kruger noted, “what matters here is Citi’s clients being exposed to the bitcoin moon.”

Citibank compared the digital asset’s first rally that took it to the mainstream with gold, which similarly “was allowed to float in the early 1970s after 50 years of trading in a $20-$35 range.”

And that was a “structural change in the modern-day monetary regime” ushering in a world of fiscal indiscipline, deficits, and inflation. As for Bitcoin, its move happened in the aftermath of the Great Financial crisis.

In 2020, with all the MMT, gold is likely to gain from this, but the author of the report noted that gold has restrictions such as storage, non-portable, and could possibly be even called “yesterday’s news” in terms of a financial hedge.

“Bitcoin is the new gold,” reads the report.

The leading digital asset has a limited supply, is easy to move across borders, and offers opaque ownership. But the author also says that Bitcoin may be subject to more regulatory constraints going forward.

The report further mentions CBDC, which though a much more effective mechanism for distributing stimulus, “makes capital confiscation easier.” 

In both the scenarios, Bitcoin will give us the digital equivalent (Bitcoin versus Fiat digital) of what we saw in the 20th century when the financial regime changed (Gold versus FIAT paper).

Incoming Senator Hopes To ‘Bring Bitcoin Into The National Conversation’

In a clip that has been widely circulating on Twitter, the soon-to-be-senator representing Wyoming — possibly the highest ranking US official to ever speak so glowingly of the digital currency — cited her experience as a former state treasurer for why she believes in Bitcoin’s future.

“I’m a former state treasurer and I invested our state’s permanent funds, so I was always looking for a good store of value, and Bitcoin fits that bill. Our own currency inflates; Bitcoin does not. It’s 21 million Bitcoin will be mined, and that’s it, it is a finite supply. So I have confidence that this will be an important player in store of value for a long time to come.”

The Senator also appeared to brush off GMA3 host Sara Haines’ implication that Bitcoin could be used for money laundering or tax evasion, choosing not to address these charges at all.

As Cointelegraph has previously reported, Lummis is an early adopter of Bitcoin, having first picked up the currency in 2013 following a tip from her son-in-law, Will Cole, who works at cryptocurrency services firm Unchained Capital.

Why Bitcoin Could Rally to $24,000 Before Seeing Its First Major Retrace

💰 BlockFi: Up To $250 Bitcoin Bonus: https://blockfi.com/cryptonewsalerts

Bitcoin bull and Wall Street veteran Max Keiser has issued a massive BTC price prediction, saying as game theory suggest, governments around the world will start putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet sending BTC parabolic to $1,000,000. 

The RT host of the Keiser Report shared the following:

“As long as governments control money, there could be no advances in money. Along comes bitcoin, it separates government from money. No government can touch btc, they’re completely divided & divorced.

And as I predicted, if you gave people hard money like bitcoin to transact without the interference of government it would be an economic global boom, a renaissance.

We can transact in unconfiscatable, uncensorable money when nobody can stop us because we’re protected by this encrypted shield called the bitcoin protocol that’s impenetrable & nobody can stop us.

Governments have flapped their gums a lot & suggested oh we are against it but none of them can stop it. Eventually one of these governments according to game theory is gonna say you know what, enough is enough we’re gonna start putting it on our balance sheet here.

And whatever country that might be & then every other country will do exactly the same thing and the price of course will go $500K, $600K, $1,000,000 a bitcoin and Max & Stacy will be once again 100%  right.”

A Bitcoin Price Dip For Ants? BTC Quickly Rebounds to a New High Above $57,800

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) dipped to as low as $53,905 on Binance overnight, recording a sudden 6% drop. But despite the minor correction, the price of Bitcoin quickly recovered thereafter, reaching a new all-time high above $57,800 on Feb. 21.

Although Bitcoin saw a steep drop within merely hours, analysts pinpointed that it fell to the exact bottom of a short-term trendline.

John Cho, the Director of Global Expansion at Ground X, noted that the drop was a liquidity fill at a lower price.

A liquidity fill simply means when an asset drops after stagnating to fill buy orders at the bottom of the range

A drop was expected because Bitcoin was consolidating with the futures funding rate at around 0.15%.

Across major futures exchanges, the Bitcoin futures funding rate was hovering between 0.1% to 0.2%, and it was particularly high for stablecoin pairs.

Bitcoin futures exchanges use a mechanism called funding to incentivize buyers or sellers based on market sentiment.

For example, when there are more buyers in the market, the funding rate turns positive. When that happens, buyers have to pay sellers a portion of their position every eight hours.

When the funding rate is high but the price of Bitcoin is consolidating, the risk of a big short-term drop increases.

The funding rate for altcoins, including Ether (ETH) and DeFi tokens, reset to around 0.05%. As such, altcoins saw a stronger bounce than BTC.

Misa Christanto, an analyst at Messari, said that in a bear market, everything is correlated. But Bitcoin, which is also considered a “reflation trade,” has been resilient. She wrote:

“US Treasury curve is steepening. Why should we care? Because in a bear market, everything is correlated. So far the headwinds have been on equity returns, on unprofitable tech names. Reflation trades like $BTC unaffected.”
