Bitcoin breaks 5-day long up-trend, dropping back to key support levels at $9,800. Since then bullish divergence appears to have formed on lower time-frames and could spur a reversal in the coming days. Bitcoin 1-Hour Analysis On the 1 hour chart for the XBT/USD pair, we can see the ascending wedge that formed throughout the middle of August. This wedge was broken two days ago on the 21st of August and has since dropped to key support at $9,800, as mentioned in my previous analysis on Bitcoin. Since re-testing key support, price action has begun to bounce, and form a short-term reversal. MACD can be seen visibly rising at the same point in which Bitcoin created two lower lows around $9,800. This could indicate bullish divergence forming around this price point. POC (Point of Control) clearly acting as support around […]

The supposed coordination of governments and tech companies to create a one-world, cashless society is often viewed as little more than fodder for silly Youtube conspiracy videos. After all, cash is still king in daily life, even in extremely high-tech, innovative societies like Japan. Upon closer examination, though, current realities like Australia’s proposed cash transaction ban for 2020, the continuing removal of higher denomination bills from several world economies, and the creation of centralized, state cryptocurrencies by governments worldwide cannot be ignored. These trends signal a global push to kill paper money in the name of safety, security, and financial inclusion.

Technology over the past few decades is becoming more and more prevalent in society and we become more dependent, when it fails it wreaks havoc on our lives.

A successful test and a breakaway may let the quotations go deeper down, to 50.0% ($8600.00) and 61.8% (7350.00). The confirmations here are the descending of the MACD lines, the […]
