  • Bitcoin gains ground but trims losses amid rising US equities, yield curve inversion

  • BTC/USD grapples with its 200-day SMA as bulls prepare to test the 50,000 level

Bitcoin Prices Could See More Volatility Soon. Here's Why. | Barron's

ASIA-PACIFIC OUTLOOK

Asia-Pacific markets are set for a risk-on session after US equities rallied despite a key yield curve inversion. The would-be recession “indicator” didn’t dissuade traders from buying high-beta risk assets, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) rising 1.68% to its highest level since January 20. Bitcoin rose but prices failed to eclipse yesterday’s multi-month high, even with a broadly weak US Dollar.

Bitcoin’s failure to take advantage of the risk-on market atmosphere may echo signs of headway being made in negations between Ukraine and Russia. Some have speculated that the war increased cryptocurrency usage amid attempts to navigate around traditional fiat currencies, where payment processing has been heavily impacted by Western sanctions. However, given recent performance, the latest lull may no more than simple profit-taking.

Gold prices broke below the 1900 level briefly in volatile trading. The drop is likely due to some froth coming out of market-based inflation expectations. The 1-year US breakeven rate fell below 6%, indicating that bond traders see inflation easing one year out. Meanwhile, consumers’ one-year inflation expectations hit a record high of 7.9%, according to a Conference Board survey.

This morning, Japan’s February retail sales figures are due out. New Zealand’s ANZ Bank will report business confidence along with its activity outlook for March at 00:00 GMT. The New Zealand Dollar rose over 0.5% from yesterday, aided by the Greenback’s weakness. Later today, Thailand’s central bank is set to hold its benchmark interest rate steady at 0.5%, according to a Bloomberg survey.

BTC/USD TECHNICAL FORECAST

BTC/USD rose slightly from yesterday, but prices were capped at the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level also appeared to provide some intraday resistance. The trend still favors more upside, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and MACD oscillators moving upward. A break above the 200-day SMA would put the 50,000 psychological level in focus, a level not traded at since December. Alternatively, a drop could push prices down to the 61.8% Fib level.

    • Coffee Elliott Wave Analysis Coffee breached the February 2022 previous high to continue the long-term bullish corrective cycle from May 2019. In the long term, the commodity could reach 317 which is about 28% of the current price level. Thus, buyers might consider buying the dips along this path. The long-term bullish corrective cycle started in May 2019. Aside from triangles, corrective structures are often subdivided into 3-waves. The first wave ended in February 2022 - cycle degree wave w. A pullback for the cycle degree wave x followed and ended in January 2023. From there, the cycle degree wave y began. The daily chart captures the wave development of the cycle degree wave y - subdivided into wave ((W))-((X))-((Y)). Wave ((W)) and ((X)) ended already and price is in ((Y)). ALong ((Y)), the price is currently in a pullback for ((b)) of Y of (W) of ((Y)). This summarizes that the upside is still favored for Coffee and prices should make fresh rallies from pullbacks of different degrees. The H4 chart shows that ((b)) is not yet complete. It’s probably in its 3rd sub-wave i.e. wave (c) of ((b)). While still developing, we are not sure yet how it’s going to end. However, it should finish above 221.2. If the price turns upside and breaches ((a)) high, then the expectation for further rallies from the dip increases significantly.

    • In my opinion $ADA is Sol closest challenger. No doubt, there is currently huge adoption of ton due to projects on the ecosystem and the development rate of telegram. 
    • In an era where exchange security is a major concern, it's clear that some platforms are making significant efforts to prioritize users and safeguard their assets through initiatives like Proof of Reserves (POR). I've been closely following the monthly Proof of Reserves updates from Bitget and Binance for a while now. Today, I want to focus on the latter's September 2024 update. Bitget reported a total reserve ratio of 166% for September.. The platform first introduced its Proof of Reserves in December 2022, with monthly updates to ensure they maintain a reserve ratio of at least 1:1 for users' assets. Users can verify their holdings through the open-source MerkleValidator tool on GitHub. Additionally, They've also established a US$300 million Protection Fund to further safeguard user assets. I find these measures commendable in building trust with users. What’s your take on it?
