The Crypto Daily – The Movers and Shakers 24/07/19
The bears eye a 4th day in the red, with sub-$8,000 levels for Bitcoin investors likely to cause some angst for the broader market.
Bitcoin slid by 4.57% on Tuesday. Following on from a 2.29% fall from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,859.
A particularly bearish morning saw Bitcoin slide from an early intraday high $10,330.9 to an early afternoon intraday low $9,820.
Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,188 and second major support level at $10,048.
Holding above the 38.2% FIB of $9,734 and third major support level at $9,657 was the only positive from the session.
Finding support through the afternoon, Bitcoin recovered to $10,200 levels before sliding back to sub-$10,000 levels.
It was Bitcoin’s first sub-$ 10,000-day end since 17th July.
Bitcoin’s market cap slid back from $183bn levels to $173.02bn at the time of writing.
The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed bag for the majors on the day.
Bucking the trend on the day were Bitcoin Cash SV and EOS. Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 2%, while EOS rose by 0.91%.
It was red for the rest of the pack, however. Tron’s TRX led the way down on the day, sliding by 8.95%.
Litecoin (-5.36%) and Binance Coin (-4.51%) also saw heavy losses on the day. It was a somewhat better story for Ethereum, which fell by 2.39%.
Bitcoin’s dominance eased back to 64% levels before recovering to 65% levels. Bearish sentiment across the broader market outweighed the effects of Bitcoin’s losses over the course of the last day.
On the day, the total crypto market cap slide from $281.9bn levels to $265.97bn at the time of writing
This Morning,
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.94% to $9,667.3. A particularly bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from a morning high $9,861.7 to a low $9,612.7
The early sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the 38.2% FIB of $9,734 and first major support level at $9,675.70.
Bitcoin left the major resistance levels untested.
Elsewhere, Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.02), Binance Coin (-4%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (-4.69%) also saw heavy losses.
The rest of the pack weren’t far behind, in the early part of this morning. Ethereum also struggled, down 3.77% at the time of writing.
For the Day Ahead
A move back through the 38.2% FIB of $9,734 would bring $10,000 levels back into play. Bitcoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from the 38.2% FIB.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, a move back through to $10,000 would bring the first major resistance level at $10,186.6 into play.
We would expect Bitcoin to fall well short Tuesday’s high $10,330.9, however.
Failure to move back through the 38.2% FIB of $9,734 could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through to $9,500 levels would bring the second major support level at $9,492.4 in play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off through the day, the second major support level should limit any downside on the day.
Analysts Alex Kruger and Josh Rager give their Bitcoin Predictions
Cryptocurrency analyst and economist Alex Krüger says investors should welcome the current withdrawal of Bitcoin and points out that Bitcoin will increase faster and sharper.
Bull market corrections are unavoidable and should be welcome. Assets that go too far up too fast tend to crash the hardest. As everyone who speculated with the price of bitcoin during 2017 and 2018 well knows.
In the short term, analyst Josh Rager points out that BTC ‘s previous support on the one-hour chart shows resistance, suggesting that Bitcoin could fall below $10,000.

Looking at the coins in the top ten of the crypto currency world, Litecoin traded at $ 94, down 4.80%, Bitcoin Cash at $ 309, down 3.77%, and Binance Coin at $ 30.47, down 0.54% as seen in the

hen we started work on this article, we were going to talk about the explosive growth in Bitcoin value. But as we prepared to publish, the cryptocurrency experienced a massive devaluation that could have serious implications for investors.
The highs of cryptocurrency investment
In December 2018, Bitcoin (BTC) reached its lowest point of the year, with each virtual coin worth about $3,200. Over the next sixth months, demand helped to raise values significantly.
By the end of May, BTC breached the $10,000 mark. Four weeks later and coins were worth $12,867. The currency quadrupled in value over the course of a few months, helping to create some seriously rich cryptocurrency investors.
The lows of cryptocurrency investment
Within the span of a few hours today though, everything changed. In the span of one hour, Bitcoin lost $1,000 in value. By the end of the day, BTC was trading below $9,500.
This is not a record low, but around $10 billion was lost from the BTC market in just one day.
The problems with cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple are designed to be free of the control by central banks like the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England. As a result, these virtual currencies are free from the control placed on traditional ‘fiat’ currencies like US Dollars, British Pounds and Euros.
But it is precisely this lack of control that allows the massive swings in value as we have seen recently. Without the normal financial mechanisms used to stabilise currency value fluctuations, Bitcoin can swing wildly. Although unlikely, it is entirely possible that BTC could be worth $25,000 tomorrow, and nothing at all by the end of the week.
Gaming the system?
Without central bank controls and foreign exchange regulators, Bitcoin value is open to manipulation by unscrupulous investors. It is entirely possible that the value of Bitcoin has been artificially inflated, allowing speculators to sell their coins for a massive profit. And once the value crashes, they can buy more BTC, wait for the value to increase, and then sell for another large profit.
For most people, Bitcoin manipulation isn’t a problem because they simply don’t use them. However, many financial experts believe that cryptocurrencies will become more mainstream – Facebook’s Libra coin is sure to gain plenty of attention once it finally launches.
Trading Bitcoin
If you’re interested in trading Bitcoin, you should seek professional guidance from an independent financial adviser. You should also ensure your computer is properly protected by an anti-malware tool to ensure your digital wallet (used to store cryptocurrency) cannot be stolen by cybercriminals.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Weekly Forecast – Approaching Next Crucial Break
There was a solid upside correction initiated from the $9,100 swing low against the US Dollar.
The price gained traction after it broke the key $10,000 resistance area and traded towards $11,250.
There was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $10,400 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
The pair tested a crucial resistance near $11,250 and it is currently correcting lower.
Bitcoin price is showing positive signs above the $10,250 support against the US Dollar. However, BTC must break the $11,250 resistance zone to continue higher in the near term.
Bitcoin Price Weekly Analysis (BTC)
This past week, bitcoin price extended its decline below the $10,000 support against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair even broke the $9,500 support and settled below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Finally, the price traded close to the $9,000 and formed a swing low near $9,100. A support base is formed above $9,200 and the price started an upside correction.
The recent wave was positive as the price broke the $10,000 and $10,250 resistance levels. The price even surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major slide from the $11,920 swing high to $9,101 swing low. Moreover, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $10,400 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. The price climbed above the $10,800 resistance and even spiked above the $11,000 level.
However, the upward move was capped by the $11,250 resistance area and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). The 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last major slide from the $11,920 swing high to $9,101 swing low also acted as a Looking at the chart, bitcoin price clearly tested a crucial resistance near $11,250. Therefore, a clear break above $11,250 is needed for the bulls to gain control in the coming sessions.
Major Resistance Level – $11,250strong resistance. As a result, the price started a downside correction below the $11,000 level. At the outset, it seems like there is a rising channel forming with support near $10,500.
If there is a downside break below the channel support, the price could decline towards the $10,250 or $10,000 support area. On the upside, the main resistance is near the $11,250 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A successful close above the $11,250 is must for more gains. If not, the price could start a fresh decrease below $10,500.

35% Bitcoin Price Drop to $9,100 is Historically Natural, Don’t Worry – Analyst
Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto markets have been incurring significant volatility as of late that has made it increasingly unclear as to which direction BTC is heading and has even made it difficult to know whether bulls or bears are in control.
Although Bitcoin’s recent drop to $9,100 certainly signaled that the crypto’s bears have significant strength, the subsequent price surge past $10,000 signals that bulls are still in control, and one analyst believes that the recent pullback is both natural and necessary for the uptrend to continue.
Bitcoin Climbs Towards $10,400 as Bulls Step Up
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down slightly at its current price of $10,370, which is down slightly from its daily highs of roughly $10,700.
Although its price has dropped from its daily highs, it is important to note that it is trading up significantly from its weekly lows of $9,100 that were set earlier this week.
The positive reaction to the recent dip into the four-figure price region signals that buyers are still in control, and that there is a significant amount of buying support that exists below $10,000.
While looking at Bitcoin’s near-term price action, analysts are noting that the cryptocurrency might be forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which could mean that BTC will drop slightly before surging up towards $13,000.
“$BTC Since the H&S worked so well on the down side then maybe the inverse H&S will work just as well on the upside where a measured move from the head to neck line would take #bitcoin up to the established resistance line…note the formation of the right shoulder tests $10K again,” Chonis Trading, a popular crypto analyst, noted in a recent tweet.
BTC’s Latest Pullback Could Be Entirely Natural
Although the recent pullback marked the end of the recently incurred bull market in the mind of many investors, one prominent analyst is now explaining that 30-40% pullbacks during the course of an uptrend are entirely natural.
CryptoThies, another popular analyst on Twitter, spoke about this in a recent tweet, explaining that it is part of a “rinsing/repeating” pattern that has been seen several times throughout Bitcoin’s history.
“$BTC Bull run in 2015-2017 included run-ups, typically followed by a retrace to touch the top of the prior high. These drops ranged from 31-40%, before rinsing/repeating onward. Looks very similar to what we are seeing now,” he explained.
Whether or not this pattern is a natural one or one that spells trouble for BTC will likely grow increasingly clear in the coming days as weeks as the cryptocurrency continues to struggle to hold above $10,000.
Bitcoin Price Analysis – Bitcoin Stands on its Feet by Gaining Almost 3.5%

Salvation is what you need if you realize that you have sinned.
Written by Hope on 11/01/2015
Series: Weekly Devotional
Tags: Salvation
“The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Look at the people around you: the people in your home, at your job and on television. Every single one of them is a sinner. Everyone has sinned against God. The Bible says it like this: “No-one is righteous — not even one” (Romans 3:10). So what can you do when you realize you have sinned?
God Promised Salvation
As humans, we are naturally sinful. We turn away from God, choosing sin rather than living the life God wants for us. But from the very beginning, God had a plan to save us. The plan is called Salvation. The Prophet Isaiah wrote in God’s Word about the Savior. “I will make You a light to the Gentiles, and You will bring My salvation to the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 49:6).
This promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. God sent Jesus (His Son) in the form of a human. Jesus lived a sinless life and taught people how to live in God’s ways. He became the payment for our sins when He sacrificed his life and died on the cross. However, the power of death could not stop Jesus, so He rose from the dead. When we believe in Jesus, He promises forgiveness for sin and eternal life. Learn how to receive God’s forgiveness and salvation by clicking here.
Salvation is for Everyone
No matter how terrible your life seems, God can help you. When you accept God’s Salvation through Jesus Christ, God can remake your life so you will live a life God is pleased with. You no longer have to be a slave to sin and death! God’s Word tells you to “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2).
Salvation Is Eternal Life
In a prayer, Jesus described the way to eternal life: “to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One You sent to earth” (John 17:3). If you know the Lord and have accepted Jesus Christ, you have been guaranteed God’s love for all eternity in Heaven. When we live our life with faith in God, His eternal rewards are tremendous. Remember, “without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).
Pray this week:
to thank God for saving you and giving you eternal life.
Have you accepted God's free gift of salvation? Do you want to talk about it with anyone?

This offer ends when 30 ILP shares have been acquired. Several members have already taken us up on this.
Again if you do not know: What in heck is a Markethive ILP?
The following budget is what determined my decision to do one more private crowd funding before we launch our official Blockchain Crowd Funding and the Markethive Awareness campaign.
We need to raise the money to launch a huge ICO (like) public crowd funding campaign (AWARENESS CAMPAIGN) and need to raise $300k or more to make it a huge campaign. 60% of this money goes to launching our crowd funding campaign in June of this year. 40% goes to Markethive enhancements to prepare for the onslaught of new membership. We need to finish our Markethive.io site. It needs to be replicated. Our front page of Markethive is also getting a new face lift. And Markethive.net will be retrofitted as an ICO rating system

Summary:
As Bitcoin Surges, so will the Markethive Coin and subscriptions and paid services. Our timing could not be better. We survived the Crypto Winter and it is now time to go to the moon.
Markethive is this hybrid symbiotic phenomenon. Unique, exponentially powerful and will be a major driving force in unbelievable revenue generation as well as widespread respected service.
A Case study: Let’s look at the Media Content suppliers for the Crypto media. They have very big traffic and they publish banners, press releases, sponsored articles, ICO analysis all for fees and many make over a $million a year. The tools they use are not unlike the tools we deliver to you in Markethive. That being said, it is not difficult to grasp the fact many Markethive members can build a similar success with our system like we are building for you @ http://aboutbitco.in/
Keep in mind, we have not promoted it nor finished it, but it will be no different than a WordPress portal you could build using the same tools found in Markethive
Markethive is a market network and these tools are equally commanded by each individual which means any member at Markethive could produce similar traffic and revenue because of Markethive but not by Markethive. It is the entire vision to empower our members to achieve great heights.
McCarthy said that he likes Bitcoin because of the blockchain's security.
Unlike Bitcoin, he doesn't like Facebook's Libra and fears that it may control the market in the future.
In a recent interview with CNBC, Kevin McCarthy, the Republican House Minority Leader said:
"I like bitcoin … The real thing I like when it comes to bitcoin is I like blockchain because I like the security. I want the government to start using blockchain,"
Though Bitcoin and Libra are cryptocurrencies that use blockchain technology, the difference is that a sovereign currency does not back Bitcoin. On the other hand, Libra is a stablecoin backed by an assortment of government-backed currencies. McCarthy is concerned about their apparent lack of decentralization:
"When I'm on Facebook, I'm not the customer, I'm the product. Facebook is free because they sell your data to make money. Now they want to get into the business, and they're not Bitcoin, in this Libra. They're not decentralized."
McCarthy said that he was looking to determine whether Facebook has considered its 'potential anti-competitive behavior':
"I want to see decentralization because Libra concerns me that they're going to control the market."
Fellow Republican Pat Toomey, on the other hand, is willing to have a more open mind about Libra. He told CNBC:
"I don't want to presume in advance that we've got to prevent the development of some new innovation..I am very curious about what the ultimate business motive is for Facebook here."
