The issue arose after some posted a simple question, asking how many ETH there are in the

Despite the parabolic performance in some altcoins, Bitcoin is stagnating around the high-$11,000s. As of the time of this article’s writing, BTC is trading for $11,600. This comes after it was rejected last week at the $12,000 level yet again, marking a loss for bulls. Analysts say that Bitcoin managing to hold the $11,500 level would bolster the medium-term bull case dramatically. One trader went as far as to say that the cryptocurrency closing the weekly candle at $11,500 could leave bears without much hope. He isn’t the first commentator

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is facing its final resistance zone until the bull market is on fire. However, will it break through this resistance zone in one attempt? The charts suggest that the $11,600-12,000 area is a crucial level to break if the price of BTC is to continue moving higher. As the price of Bitcoin couldn’t break through that resistance zone, a slight drop occurred on Friday from $11,900 to $11,350, after which BTC has managed to pare most of the losses since.Crypto market daily performance.

Bitcoin may hit $14,000 in the coming quarter. The analogy appears out of two extremely bullish calls made for the US dollar and Gold. Bitcoin has shown an extreme correlation with the two macro assets this year. Bitcoin may have some fuel left to continue its 2020’s run-up towards the $14,000-mark. The level–last approached in 2019 against the backdrop of an escalating US-China trade war and falling yuan– has fallen back into the radar of Bitcoin bulls. Only this time, the weakening US dollar has replaced its Chinese counterpart as
