Os preços do bitcoin atingiram um novo recorde hoje, batendo um recorde de 63.000 dólares esta manhã e depois conseguiram reter a maior parte de seus últimos ganhos.

A maior moeda digital do mundo por valor de mercado subiu para $63.707,34 no início da tarde de hoje, mostram os números da CoinDesk.

Depois de atingir estes últimos máximos, para onde irá a moeda criptográfica a seguir?

Vários observadores do mercado ajudaram a esclarecer o assunto, oferecendo análises técnicas sobre o ativo digital.

Prevendo a Próxima Resistência

„É provável que este rally encontre o próximo nível de resistência em 65.000 dólares“, disse Jon Pearlstone, editor do boletim CryptoPatterns, enfatizando que o bitcoin foi capaz de atingir „novos máximos hoje com forte volume“.

„Acima disso há resistência de padrão na faixa de $77.000, com pouco para parar o bitcoin acima desse preço até o nível psicologicamente chave de $100.000“.

Pearlstone enfatizou que os preços do bitcoin poderiam encontrar alguma dificuldade a curto prazo, observando que:

„Ainda há múltiplos indicadores que são sobre-comprados e o gráfico semanal tem um padrão de baixa que indica uma inversão de preços nas próximas 1-3 semanas“.

Em outras palavras, se o bitcoin vai se recuperar antes de sofrer uma recuo onde poderia testar „pelo menos o nível de $52.500“, terá que fazê-lo „rapidamente“.

Jason Lau, COO da troca de moedas criptográficas OKCoin, também pesou, oferecendo uma avaliação diferente.

„Após várias semanas de consolidação, a Bitcoin finalmente quebrou o teto de 61 mil dólares para estabelecer novos máximos durante a noite“, declarou ele.

„Mais recentemente, vimos um apoio de $50-$51k e $55-$56k, e se os preços ficarem acima de $61k, espero que esta área se torne um novo nível de apoio“, disse Lau.

„Estamos em modo de descoberta de preços no momento, mas vejo que o próximo alvo de resistência será $70k“.

Ele observou que o bitcoin atingiu seu último preço recorde na véspera da cotação direta da Coinbase ter sido agendada.

„Os mercados estão se posicionando para uma listagem direta que valoriza potencialmente a Coinbase em $100B+. Como resultado, a demanda por bitcoin e crypto nunca foi maior“.

O mercado de bitcoin tem ‚mais combustível‘

Kiana Danial, CEO da Invest Diva, também falou com a força do mercado.

„O mercado de touro Bitcoin tem claramente mais combustível para impulsioná-lo ainda mais, apesar da volatilidade“, afirmou ela.

Danial ofereceu algumas análises técnicas, focando na Nuvem Ichimoku, que a Investopedia define como „uma coleção de indicadores técnicos que mostram os níveis de suporte e resistência, bem como o momentum e a direção da tendência“.

„Nenhuma das recentes recuos foi capaz de empurrar o preço abaixo da nuvem Ichimoku diária e o preço parece ziguezaguear dentro de um canal ascendente“, ela observou.

„Usando os níveis de retração Fibonacci traçando a mais recente tendência de alta que começou em janeiro a $30K, notamos que os níveis chave de suporte caíram em $56K, $51K e $46K“, declarou Danial.

„Enquanto isso, os próximos níveis de resistência estão em $70K e $76K, respectivamente“.

Potencial ‚Ascensão parabólica

William Noble, o analista técnico chefe da plataforma de pesquisa Token Metrics, também se apresentou, afirmando que:

„Eu estou olhando para $73k como o próximo nível de interesse em cima“.

„Há uma forte chance de um aumento mais parabólico no bitcoin para $92k“, disse Noble.

„Um aumento para este nível poderia se desdobrar muito mais rápido do que as pessoas pensam“, acrescentou ele.

Ethereum hat die 2.000-Dollar-Zone wiedererlangt.

Ethereum, nach Marktkapitalisierung das zweitgrößte Asset von Crypto, hat sein bisheriges Allzeithoch in der Nähe von 2.041 USD , das am 19. Februar 2021 festgelegt wurde , gebrochen

Laut TradingView-Daten erreichte Ethereum ( ETH ) heute ein Rekordhoch von rund 2.081 USD . Die ETH handelt zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung in der Nähe von 2.067 USD.

Seit dem Hoch vom Februar hat die ETH auf ihrem Tages-Chart zweimal korrigiert und bei der zweiten Korrektur ein höheres Tief verzeichnet. In den Tagen nach dem Gipfeltreffen von 2.041 US-Dollar fiel der Vermögenswert auf rund 1.293 US-Dollar. Die ETH erholte sich bis zum 13. März auf rund 1.943 USD, bevor sie in den folgenden Tagen wieder in die Nähe von 1.546 USD fiel.

Seit dem Rückgang in der Nähe von 1.546 US-Dollar hat die ETH vier aufeinanderfolgende grüne tägliche Kerzen veröffentlicht. Heute ist der fünfte, wenn er grün schließt

CoinMarketCap listet die ETH nach Marktkapitalisierung derzeit als zweitgrößten Vermögenswert auf. Mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von fast 239 Milliarden US-Dollar zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung liegt die ETH bequem auf dem zweiten Platz über Binance Coin ( BNB ), aber weit entfernt von der Gesamtbewertung von Crypto Revolt in Höhe von 1,1 Billionen US-Dollar.

Ethereum hat in den letzten Monaten eine große Anzahl von Schlagzeilen gemacht, entsprechend dem Übergang zu Ethereum 2.0 oder Eth2 sowie seiner Rolle in der dezentralen Finanzierung oder DeFi . Eth2 möchte das Ethereum-Netzwerk skalieren und seine Blockchain in den kommenden Monaten vollständig auf einen Proof-of-Stake-Algorithmus umstellen .

Der Preisanstieg der ETH entspricht auch einem allgemeinen Bullenmarkt für Krypto, in dem BTC über 60.000 USD gehandelt hat .

QNAP, aanbieder van bestandsopslag, heeft een advies uitgebracht om klanten te beschermen tegen gerichte Bitcoin-mijnaanvallen.

Crypto heeft dit jaar zijn deel aan hacks gezien.

Hardwarefirma QNAP gaf vorige week een advies uit aan klanten na het vinden van een aanhoudende aanval op haar network-attached storage devices (of NAS-apparaten, die verbinding maken met het internet), volgens een rapport op security outlet Bleeping Computer. De aanval zorgt ervoor dat de getroffen apparaten illegaal Bitcoin delven.

QNAP, gevestigd in Taiwan, is een grote speler in de ruimte voor bestandsopslag en geheugenapparaten. Dergelijke apparaten bevatten de rekenkracht die kan worden ingezet voor het delven van

Bitcoin – via duizenden complexe berekeningen per seconde om het netwerk in stand te houden en „beloningen“ te ontvangen – waardoor QNAP een doelwit van de aanval is.

De mijnbouw-malware heeft zelf de naam „Dovecat“ gekregen van beveiligingsexperts, die zeggen dat het al sinds november vorig jaar computersystemen (anders dan QNAP) heeft aangetast. Het is een plaag voor klanten van QNAP, omdat de malware uiteindelijk alle beschikbare rekenkracht in beslag neemt, waardoor hun apparaten onbruikbaar worden voor dagelijks werk.

Zwakke wachtwoorden zijn de schuldige

Van haar kant heeft QNAP het gebruik van zwakke wachtwoorden voor haar NAS-apparaten aangewezen als de belangrijkste bron voor de malware-inbraak. „Volgens analyse kunnen QNAP NAS geïnfecteerd raken wanneer ze verbonden zijn met het Internet met zwakke gebruikerswachtwoorden,“ aldus het bedrijf.

Om zich tegen dergelijke malware te beschermen, heeft QNAP alle klanten gevraagd om moeilijkere wachtwoorden te updaten en te gebruiken, malware detecterende programma’s te installeren, en hun NAS-apparaten te updaten naar de nieuwste software.

Monero-botnet steelt AWS-logins voor cryptojacking

QNAP voegde eraan toe dat het bezig was met de ontwikkeling van een eigen anti-malware beveiliging voor klanten. „[QNAP] heeft er een prioriteit van gemaakt om een oplossing te ontwikkelen die Dovecat zal verwijderen van geïnfecteerde apparaten,“ zei de firma in haar advisory.

Bitcoin mining malware en „cryptojacking“ aanvallen zijn in de afgelopen jaren evenredig gestegen met de groei van de cryptomarkt. Onderzoekers schatten dat alleen al in de eerste helft van 2019 meer dan 52 miljoen computers het slachtoffer zijn geworden van dergelijke aanvallen, met vergelijkbare aantallen in 2020.

Ethereum has become the blockchain of choice for many developers of decentralized applications (dApp). Ethereum has by far the largest developer community, even surpassing Bitcoin’s. Still, there have been more and more serious projects recently that could erode Ethereum. The three most promising Ethereum competitors under the microscope.

After several years of development, the first phase of Ethereum 2.0 has started. The major upgrade has been in planning since 2015 and the fact that it is far more difficult to change the engine in a moving vehicle than to build from scratch speaks for itself. That is why many former ETH developers took the opportunity and developed their own blockchain. Will Ethereum lose its first mover advantage?

Cardano vs. Ethereum

Cardano (ADA) has been one of the most promising smart contract platforms in the crypto space for some time. The project was originally founded by mathematician Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum. Charles Hoskinson left Ethereum in 2014 and then created the for-profit IOHK Foundation.

The cryptocurrency ADA made more headlines this year as Cardano introduced the Shelly upgrade on its mainnet. Shelly enables Cardano to be staked and, similar to Ethereum 2.0, is just one of many phases. Shelly is only the second phase of the ADA update and three more upgrades will follow. In the end, Cardano should be a scalable blockchain on which smart contracts can also be programmed.

In addition, Cardano ultimately wants to operate an on-chain governance model in which every ADA holder should be able to participate. In the future, Cardano is expected to be best suited for applications in the finance and organization sectors. This is because, unlike Ethereum, Cardano is programmed in Haskell. Haskell is a programming language that is particularly suitable for business applications and data analysis.

Tezos vs. Ethereum

Tezos was founded in 2018 and the foundation behind Tezos, like Ethereum, is located in Zug, Switzerland’s crypto valley. Arthur and Kathleen Breitman developed Tezos. However, the early years of the blockchain project were often characterized by internal power struggles coined between the Breitmans and the Tezos Foundation.

Tezos uses a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism that it calls “liquid proof-of-stake”. However, researchers have found that Tezos, while not having the same level of decentralization as Ethereum, is more decentralized than many other DPoS blockchains.

This is mainly due to the fact that Tezos has not prescribed an upper limit for the number of nodes. This makes it possible for Tezos to become more and more decentralized as it grows. In the future, Tezos and Ethereum 2.0 could definitely compete with each other in terms of security and decentralization. The main difference between the two blockchain projects is Tezos‘ on-chain governance model.

When the Breitmans conceived the Ethereum competitor, their vision was that the Tezos platform could upgrade itself. The goal is to create a competitive blockchain that can effectively evolve from within. Each Tezos holder can vote on what should happen next with the platform.

In contrast, Ethereum has always had off-chain governance. In all probability, this will not change anytime soon. However, it is unclear which system will prove to be superior to the other.

Bitcoin might even become the next global reserve currency?

Bitcoin ( BTC ) poses a significant threat to the US dollar as the world’s leading currency, according to a senior strategic analyst at the major investment bank Morgan Stanley

Ruchir Sharma, chief strategist for global developments at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, believes that the dominance of the US dollar could be overturned by the shattered confidence in the traditional financial world, with Crypto Bank being the likely beneficiary.

In an article in the Financial Times on December 9, Sharma first gave a brief overview of the historical developments in the world’s leading currencies. According to this, the US dollar has held its leading position for 100 years, which is partly due to the fact that other major national currencies such as the Chinese yuan or the euro have not been able to gain enough economic confidence to replace the US dollar.

Sharma therefore sees the next challenger for the American currency in decentralized digital currencies, above all Bitcoin. The market-leading crypto currency was already able to demonstrate its strength as a high-performance financial product in 2020 by quadrupling its market value since March.

In addition to the corona crisis, the driving force was, among other things, the „loose“ monetary policy of the American central bank. In this regard, Sharma explains

“The supremacy of the US dollar will come to an end when the world no longer trusts the US to pay off its debts. Money printing will continue even after the pandemic is over. Bitcon will benefit from the increasing distrust in traditional alternatives. “

The investment expert notes that Bitcoin is „making progress in replacing the US dollar as a means of payment“. The adoption of Bitcoin would steadily increase in many areas of application. „In the past few weeks, PayPal has bought Bitcoin in order to offer the cryptocurrency as a payment instrument next year,“ Sharma adds.

For this reason, he urges the US Federal Reserve to reconsider the impact of its monetary policy if it is to maintain its position of power:

“Bitcoin’s soaring could still turn out to be a speculative bubble, but even if that bubble bursts, this year’s cryptocurrency rush should serve as a warning to central banks, especially in the US. Do not believe that your traditional national currencies are the only stores of value and means of payment that people trust! „

Cryptographic companies are just beginning to adapt to regulatory requirements, and there is a long way to go to full compliance. This was stated by FATF Executive Secretary David Lewis, writes Cointelegraph.

According to him, many countries have incorporated FATF recommendations into their legislation. But in the cryptographic industry, the so-called „road rule“ on combating money laundering and financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) is not applied globally or effectively.

Lewis pointed out that during the Coronavirus Pandemic, attackers began using crypt currency more often to launder money and move illegal funds. Anonymous coins, mixers and companies that often change jurisdictions are causing concern Italian Formula about FATF.

Earlier, FATF President Markus Player stated that it was necessary to adjust the guidelines for the cryptographic industry, as many countries have not fully implemented the previously adopted standards.

Recall that in October a consortium of leading US cryptographic companies presented a plan for its participants to comply with AML/CFT requirements.

Los comerciantes expresan su cautela con respecto a Bitcoin al llegar el día de las elecciones

• Los comerciantes han estado mirando durante mucho tiempo hacia el día de las elecciones como un potencial catalizador de la volatilidad de Bitcoin que ayuda a dar forma a la tendencia futura de la criptodivisa
• Ese día ya está aquí, y la BTC está viendo una acción positiva en los precios en lo que va de la mañana.
• Los toros están en el proceso de empujar la cripta hacia su resistencia de 13.800 dólares que se ha mantenido fuerte durante las últimas semanas
• Un comerciante no espera que este impulso dure mucho más tiempo, ya que observa que un movimiento hacia la región de 11.000 dólares podría estar en las cartas
• Observa que el descenso a este nivel es probable que comience en algún momento dentro de los próximos días

Bitcoin está viendo una fuerte acción de precios Immediate Edge en el día de las elecciones, con toros intentando volver a probar la resistencia que la cripta ha establecido alrededor de 13.800 dólares.

Aunque su última vela mensual se cerró por encima de este nivel, es importante señalar que BTC se ha enfrentado a múltiples y rápidos rechazos aquí que han hecho increíblemente poco claro dónde puede tender a corto plazo.

Un analista está esperando un inconveniente. Cree que la próxima tendencia podría enviar a Bitcoin hacia la región de los 11.000 dólares antes de que establezca algún tipo de apoyo a largo plazo y se movilice.

Bitcoin ve el comercio positivo como objetivo de la resistencia de los toros

En el momento de escribir este artículo, Bitcoin está subiendo un poco menos del 1% a su precio actual de 13.700 dólares. Esto es más o menos lo que ha estado negociando durante las últimas horas.

Todavía tiene que volver a probar 13.800 dólares, pero este nivel sin duda provocará una intensa volatilidad si se rompe por encima o cataliza otro rechazo.

Muchos inversionistas están esperando los resultados de la elección antes de dar la vuelta a la cripta.
Analista: BTC comenzará a descender a medida que se degrada la perspectiva a medio plazo

Mientras explicaba dónde cree que tenderá Bitcoin en los próximos días, un analista declaró que la fuerte resistencia de Bitcoin probablemente le obligaría a bajar hasta 11.500 dólares antes de que pueda encontrar un apoyo serio.

„La resistencia que se mantuvo ayer en BTC y yo añadí al corto. Es un gran montaje porque la invalidación es muy clara. La acción del precio comienza a consolidarse ahora, esperando que esto empiece a moverse pronto. Más que feliz de cubrir por igual una ruptura al alza“, dijo, en parte, mientras señalaba el gráfico de abajo.

La próxima tendencia de Bitcoin dependerá en gran medida de los resultados de las elecciones de esta noche, ya que muchos operadores creen que un candidato reforzará el panorama macroeconómico más que el otro.

Part of the Bitcoin (BTC) coming from the hack of crypto fair Kucoin is on the move. This suggests blockchain analysis company Elliptic.

Reportedly, the hackers are trying to erase the traces with a mixer.

Hack Kucoin

Almost two months ago it became clear that a lot of Bitcoin had been stolen from Kucoin’s hot wallet. In total it would amount to more than $200 million. The fair wrote in one of their reports that besides Bitcoin also a lot of Ether and other ERC-20 tokens had been stolen from the hot wallets. The assets in the cold wallets did remain safe.

These ERC-20 tokens quickly went through UniSwap. So they were kind of laundered and exchanged for other crypt currencies. But the hackers also got their hands on 1008 BTC. These are now also mixed.

According to Tom Robinson, researcher and co-founder of the Elliptic, the stolen Bitcoin were moved earlier this week.

„Kucoin’s thief has now started moving the stolen Bitcoin. The process is underway, but 425 of the 1008 stolen BTC have now been sent to ChipMixer, a mixing service. This started on Monday morning“

ChipMixer makes it possible to mix UTXO’s with those of other people. This way you can (partially) obscure the origin of the coins. You throw as it were your Bitcoin on a pile with someone else’s and then get that of someone else back. In this way, there is no longer a real relationship between the new and the old output.

Mixer

With ChipMixer, users can deposit their Bitcoin and receive so-called „chips“ that amount to the same amount. Users can split and merge their chips before withdrawing them again. This allows users to place „bets“ that can double the size of a particular chip. You can also reduce this number by donating them to other people.

„Even if you assume with the analysis of the blockchain that there are changes with these chips, we cannot predict how much people have lost or won or how much you have donated.

Part of the total $200 million stolen money has already returned to Kucoin because other scholarships have confiscated it. This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the hackers use both the decentralized UniSwap and ChipMixer.

Retail investors are buying Bitcoin, explains CryptoQuant CEO

In the days leading up to the recent Bitcoin price increase, stablecoins have gone crazy, showing unprecedented behavior.

On October 18, stablecoin transfers on exchanges reached record highs of 60,000 and 56,000 respectively, according to data provided by CryptoQuant. The resource information tracked USDT on Ethereum, PAX, USDC, TUSD, DAI, SAI, BUSD, HUSD and USDK. As for the total inflow of all stablecoins in terms of dollar value, no unusual trends were found.

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, explained to Cointelegraph that although the inflows were not huge in dollar value, they indicated a bullish trend among retail investors:

„More deposits from more retail investors usually means that market sentiment is becoming bullish.

According to Ju, the high number of addresses and transactions in the market indicates that the inflows came from a large number of retail investors rather than a few large players. The assumption is that investors send stablecoins to exchanges when they intend to convert them into other crypto assets, mainly Bitcoins. In recent days, Tether has issued $450 million on the Tron network (TRX). The CTO of the company Paolo Ardoino has made it clear that the sum has been authorised, but not yet issued:

„PSA: the $300 million is an inventory replenishment on the Tron network. This is an authorized but not issued transaction, so this sum will be used as inventory for the next period issue requests“.

During 2020, Tether p’s market capitalization quadrupled, starting the year at $4 billion and rising to $16 billion at the time of writing. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s reserves on major exchanges fell below BTC 2.5 million for the first time in two years.
