Tips On How Best To Handle Bitcoin Market Crashes

In a scenario where the price of Bitcoin is crashing, what would be the best reactions to take?

Below are a few things an investor can do to weather the storms of a market crash.

 

Maintain a Calm State of Mind

Trading Bitcoin mandates that one has a disciplined mind state, meaning that your emotions must be in check at all times. Allowing your emotions to cloud your judgment in unfavorable market conditions is never the best option and in most cases, ends in disappointment and regrets. What you should do instead is take a break, evaluate what is happening and make logical decisions.

Most times, it is best to do nothing rather than taking an action that might end up going against you.

 

Try Not to Obsess

Sitting in front of your screens all day is not going to change anything happening in the markets. Spending time making analysis and plotting charts is fine, but don’t waste hours obsessing over the predicament you might be facing. It is advisable to engage yourself with something more constructive.

However, if you still have to trade, select a limit order and move on to something else.

 

Do Not Lose Focus of the Main Aim

The fact that Bitcoin may be facing a crash at a time does not mean that the overall demand for Bitcoin is gone, it is usually just a temporary downturn. The crypto market possesses the most assorted investor base of any other sector, it is safe to say that the market will almost certainly bounce back.

Always adhere to your trading strategy. Do not let the current situation drive you to make drastic trading decisions only for the market to turn around days later, causing you further losses or opportunities.

The crypto market is an extremely erratic playing field and huge plunges and rallies are always expected.

EOS is in a bullish move but it is encountering penetration at the $3.70 price level. The market pulls back and continues to trade below $3.70. EOS has made concerted efforts at the resistance so as to move up the price ladder.

 

Previously, the bulls have successfully prevailed over the downtrend line as the coin moves up.

Nonetheless, if EOS fails to move up, the coin will fall and find support at $3.20.

The RSI period 14 levels 58 signify that EOS is falling and approaching the sideways trend zone. EOS is at the point of a bullish crossover which means that EOS may rise. The downtrend line has already been broken as the market went up. It is unlikely for the selling pressure to resume and price fall below the downtrend line. If it does price may retrace to a low of $ 3.20.

 

EOS/USD Medium-term bias: Bullish

On the 4-hour chart, the EOS fell to a low of $2.60 in September and October to resume a bullish move. In September, the market went up but was resisted and it dropped to another low at $2.60.

 

At this low, a trend line is drawn to establish the level of price movement. The uptrend is said to be continuing if the price makes higher highs and higher lows. Nevertheless, if the market falls and breaks below the trend line, the uptrend is said to be ended.

As already indicated in the price analysis, EOS may move up, if it takes care of $3.70 price level. However, on the 4-hour chart, if EOS pulls back and breaks below the trend line, the market will drop again.

BSV/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish
Bitcoin SV is making a surprising upward move after surviving a downtrend from the overhead resistance at $150. The coin fell to a low of $92 and commenced a bullish move. The price upward move can be sustained if the bulls overcome the initial resistance at $115 and $ 120.

Presently, the coin is trading at $108, attempting to break above the previous low in July. In July, the previous low was supported as the market moved up to the $180 price level. Today, the previous low is a resistance level, the price has to break above that low and close. However, BSV will fall to the low of $80, if the bulls fail to break the initial resistance levels.

Daily Chart Indicators Reading:
Bitcoin SV is in a bullish momentum above 20% range of the daily stochastic. The market is expected to rise and revisit the previous high of $140. The rise of BSV is depended upon the bulls breaking above the 21-day and 50-day SMAs. The price will be in the bullish trend zone if the price is above the SMAs.

On the 4-hour chart, the price tested the support above $92 before embarking on the bullish movement. The formation is in the form of a bullish double bottom indicating that the coin is likely to rise. The coin is expected to rise above the $120 and retest the overhead resistance at $140.

USDCHF: Upside Momentum Attempt At Parity Losses Steam, Running Into Sellers

USDCHF Price Analysis – November 26

The USDCHF reached a new daily high of the level at 0.9987 at the start of the European session but failed to maintain momentum as investors refrained from taking important positions pending further developments on the trade dispute between the United States and China. At the time of writing, the pair was up 0.07% on the day on the level at 0.9970.

Key Levels

Resistance Levels: 1.0231, 1.0126, 1.0027
Support Levels: 0.9869, 0.9798, 0.9659

USDCHF Long term Trend: Bullish

Overall, only the medium-term trend stays neutral, with USDCHF remaining in the range of the level at 0.9659 / 1.0231. In all cases, a decisive break of the level at 1.0231 is needed to indicate a recovery of the uptrend.

Otherwise, a more parallel trend may lead to another plunge. Meanwhile, the support break of the level at 0.9890 may instead target support on the level at 0.9841. The outlook is bullish, displaying yet an intact uptrend in the short and long-term trend.

USDCHF Short term Trend: Bullish

The USDCHF is losing ground from the upside, as shown by the 4-hour RSI. But with minor support intact on the level at 0.9949, the intraday bias stays slightly higher. Consolidation starting on the level at 1.0027 should end at the level at 0.9869.

A new advance may be seen to test the level at 1.0027 again first. While a break there may resume its total advance from the level at 0.9659 to retracement from the level at 1.0237 to 0.9659 to 1.0126. On the flip side, a break of the level at 0.9949 minor support may tip the balance forward to extend the consolidation with another foot down.

GBPUSD Price: Following Recouping From The Low, British Pound Anticipates Upward Momentum

GBPUSD Price Analysis – December 1

The pound had a positive prior week as traders anticipate to build the scenario for buyers to step in, and now it seems likely to continue on the upside. If we can exceed the crucial level on the level at 1.3012, it is likely that the pound sterling takes off towards the level of 1.3185, and then possibly even the level of 1.3301 depending on the extent buyers push the FX pair.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: 1.3301, 1.3185, 1.3012
Support Levels: 1.2768, 1.2582, 1.1958

GBPUSD Long term Trend: Bullish

In the longer term, the increase from the level at 1.1958 is viewed as consolidation from beneath. A new advance towards resistance on the level at 1.3301 may be seen. At the moment, this may continue to be the preferred scenario as long as the level at 1.2582 resistance turned support stays intact.

However, the firm break of the level at 1.2582 may shift the target towards the level at 1.1958 low and further beneath. The outlook stays bullish, displaying an intact uptrend in the short and long-term.

GBPUSD Short term Trend: Bullish

GBPUSD remained in consolidation since hitting the level at 1.3012 in the prior week while the trend is unaltered. The initial bias may stay neutral initially for this week. The retracement may be limited by the level at 1.2768 support.

Although on the positive side, the break of the level at 1.3012 may reactivate the entire rally from the level at 1.1958. However, the break of the level at 1.2768 may advance a further plunge to the level at 1.2582 resistance turned support.

Sterling Advances Barely Hours To UK Elections As Latest Poll Predicts Conservatives Win

In just two days from now, a major event that will set the trend for the currency market for the year 2020, the UK elections will be held. In the face of a Brexit extension, UK prime minister had pushed for an earlier election in the hopes of having a majority conservatives win in the parliament which will make the Brexit deal pass through easily.

As the clock ticks, with barely less than 48 hours to this epochal event, the newest poll by Survation conducted for ITV’s good morning Britain show predicts a Boris Johnson win by 14 pts. ahead of Jeremy Corbyn‘s Labour party. The Brexit deal seemed to give the conservatives an edge as it accounted for 32% of the vote decision while NHS gave Labour party a slight edge. On the overall, a majority vote of 42% was predicted for the conservatives while Labour had 28%.

Market Reaction as the Clock Ticks
Optimism looms in the market as the prediction of a conservatives win will ease Britain’s exit from Europe by January 31 deadline.

The EUR/GBP pair continued to fall till the early hours of today breaking the 0.8411 trend line targeting the 0.8149 resistance level. GBP/USD pair rebounded to consolidate briefly targeting 1.3381 resistance levels. Technical analysis within a 4-hour MACD shows that both pairs may likely touch down. CAD edged slightly higher advanced by USMCA news but yet to consolidate gains.

The USD against a basket of five major currencies held steady awaiting FOMC’s minutes due out tomorrow.

Against a basket of currencies, NZD’s dominance is the highest. Sterling also gained momentum firmed up by approaching UK elections.

The safe-haven, the Japanese yen, and Swiss franc remain pressured as major events that will shape the market for 2020 are been anticipated.

On the Asia side, significant market activity wasn’t recorded as most currency pairs held steady within a day’s range.

In the Asian stock market, not so much activity was recorded being weakened by recently released Chinese PMI numbers.

Most of the indexes closed a little lower while US stocks rose swiftly after Friday’s release of US non-farm payroll reports. The outcome of the December 15 deadline set by the US for the signing of a preliminary trade pact will determine the week’s direction and even further into the year 2020.

Also due out later in the week is UK GDP figures and ZEW released out of Germany.

GBPJPY Reverses To The Downside In A Corrective Move

GBPJPY Price Analysis – December 18

Since the trading session on Tuesday, the currency pair has fallen by almost 303 basis points against the Japanese yen. As for the near future, the GBPJPY exchange rate may recover on a cluster formed by the daily trend line at 143.07. If the cluster holds, a reversal is possible during this session.

Resistance Levels: 148.66, 147.95, 146.57
Support levels: 142.47, 139.31, 126.54

In the longer term, an increase from the level of 126.54 may likely be a consolidation pattern from the level of 122.75 (low) or the beginning of a fresh uptrend. In any case, a more rally is anticipated, while the support level of 139.31 is held in the resistance zone of the level of 146.57 / 148.66.

The result from here may show the scenario it is supposed to be. Failure to do so may expand long-term range trend. A decisive breakout of the level at 148.66 may have long-term bullish consequences.

Stellar (XLM) Pullback Inconclusive, Further Selling Pressure Likely

Key Resistance Levels: $0.09, $0.10, $0.11
Key Support Levels: $0.06, $0.05,$0.04

XLM/USD Long-term Trend: Ranging
Stellar has been relatively slow in price movement. On December 17, the coin fell to a low of $0.042. In defense of the current low, the price pulled back to a high of $0.046. The price movement has been insignificant as the market commences consolidation above the current price level.

Consolidation at the oversold region implies that buyers and sellers have reached equilibrium at the current price level. Stellar lacks buying at a lower level as the bears may take undue advantage to sink XLM to the $0.036 low. Alternatively, if the bulls continue their hold above the $0.042, the market will continue the sideways trend.

Daily Chart Indicators Reading:
Stellar is making frantic efforts to rise, as the coin is trading above the 25% range of the daily stochastic. This implies that the market is also in a bullish momentum. The 21-day SMA and the 50-day SMA are trending horizontally indicating the price range.

XLM/USD Medium-term bias: Bearish
On the 4 hour chart, the bear market exhausted its bearish run at the $0.042 support level. The coin is in a bullish move but  it is struggling above the $0.046 price level. The price action is characterized by small body candlesticks that are responsible for the range-bound movement.

4-hour Chart Indicators Reading
The Relative Strength Index period 14 level 52 is above the centerline 50 which indicates that the price is rising. XLM may further depreciate if the support line of the channel is breached.

General Outlook for Stellar
Stellar is still in a downtrend. The coin is still at the bottom of the chart. Buyers are scarce at the lower price level to push Stellar upward. The market may depreciate further if the bulls fail to hold the $0.042 support.

In a broader context, the long-term outlook stays bearish, as USD / CHF is in the range of 0.9659 / 1.0231. In any case, a decisive breakthrough of 0.9659 level is required to indicate the resumption of a downtrend.

Otherwise, more side trading may be recorded with the risk of another rebound. Meanwhile, a breakthrough of the level at 0.9695 support may aim at the level at 0.9541 support.

USDCHF Short term Trend: Bearish

The intraday bias in USDCHF stays on the downside at this phase. At the moment, a plunge from the level of 1.0027 may break below the support level of 0.9659.

On the other hand, a slight break of resistance above the level at 0.9739 may change the neutrality of the intraday bias and lead to consolidation first, before starting another decline.

EURUSD Rallies Maintain Upside Momentum Close To The Price Level At 1.1200

EURUSD Price Analysis – December 30

The EURUSD pair spiked to the highest level since mid-August at the price level of 1.1211 and entered the consolidation phase. At the time of writing, the pair was ranging near the price level of 1.1200, adding 0.2% per day.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: 1.1515, 1.1450, 1.1280
Support Levels: 1.1178, 1.0981, 1.0879

EURUSD Long term Trend: Ranging

In the larger trend, the rebound from the level at 1.0879 is considered as a corrective movement at this stage. While anticipating a further advance, the growth potential may be contained by the recovery from the level at 1.1450 to 1.0879 to 1.1515.

While the downtrend from the level at 1.1450 (high) may continue at a later time. Nevertheless, a steady breakthrough of the 1.1515 level may weaken this bearish look and lead to stronger growth past the upside level at 1.1515.

EURUSD Short term Trend: Bullish

EURUSD so far advances to the level at 1.1210 during today’s trading. Violation of resistance on the 1.200 level indicates the continuation of the entire rebound from the level at 1.0879.

The intraday bias is currently on the rise for a 100% forecast from the level at 1.0879 to 1.1178 from 1.0981 to 1.1280 in the following sequence. In any case, the short-term forecast will stay cautious as long as the support of the level at 1.1066 persists, howbeit a pullback occurs.

Cosmos (ATOM) Bounces But Struggles At $4.50 Resistan

Key Resistance Levels: $5, $6, $7
Key Support Levels: $3, $2, $1

ATOM/USD Price Long-term Trend: Bullish
Cosmos is now in a bull market. Currently, the coin is trading below the $4.50 resistance. In retrospect, the bear market was terminated at a low of $2 and the coin rebounded. The upward move was resisted at a $3.40 price level. The coin fell and retested the previous low at $2.

Cosmos is now in a bullish move as it broke the previous resistance at $3.40. The upward move was finally halted at the $4.50 resistance on November 11. Cosmos slumped to the low of $3 and resumed another bullish move to retest the overhead resistance. Presently the coin is facing price rejection at the overhead resistance.

Daily Chart Indicators Reading:
The stochastic indicator is above the 50% range which indicates that the Cosmos is in a bullish momentum. The market is actually rising but the bulls are finding it difficult to penetrate the overhead resistance.

The simple moving averages are pointing northward indicating that the coin is rising. From the Fibonacci tool, it indicates that Cosmos is likely to reverse at the 1.272 extension level. Earlier a bullish candlestick body tested the 0.786 retracement level which gave a clue of the trend reversal.

ATOM/USD Medium-term bias: Bullish
On the 4-hour chart, the coin is also in a bullish move. The coin was facing resistance at $4 but after a retest, the resistance was broken. However, the bulls went up again but could not penetrate the overhead resistance. The market is in a sideways move below the $4.50 overhead resistance.

4-hour Chart Indicators Reading
The Relative Strength Index period 14 level 61 is above the centerline 50. This indicates the coin is in a bullish trend zone. The market is said to be in an uptrend. However, a bullish break at $4.50 resistance will catapult the coin to a high of $7.0.

General Outlook for Cosmos (ATOM)
Cosmos is in a bull market but yet to break the overhead resistance. Each time the bulls test the overhead resistance, the coin will fall or retrace to the next support. The coin is lacking buyers at the upper price levels. Possibly a bullish break at the overhead resistance will push the coin to higher price levels. Nevertheless, if the bulls fail to break the overhead resistance, the bears will take undue advantage to sink the coin below the support line. This will plunge the coin to its previous low.

BTC/USD Medium-term bias: Bullish
On the 4 hour chart, the bulls tested the resistance at $8,400 twice before falling to the low of $7,800. Bitcoin will need more buyers at this level to sustain the current momentum. On the upside, the bulls have to break above the resistance and the price is sustained above it.

4-hour Chart Indicators Reading
Bitcoin is now trading above the 25% range of the daily stochastic. This indicates that Bitcoin is in bullish momentum. On the upside, if the price breaks above the resistance and it closes above it. The uptrend will resume. Conversely, if the price breaks below the support line and it closes below it, the selling pressure will resume.

General Outlook for Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is making a positive move in the recent highs. The pair is currently battling the resistance at $8,400. Buyers need to overwhelm the sellers at the current resistance, for the price to scale through to the higher price levels. Traders should adjust their parameters if a breakout occurs.

Your All-Round Guide To Security Token Offerings

Security token offerings (STOs) are one of the most revered investment options in the crypto space at the moment. It has even been termed the “future of fundraising”.

But what exactly are STOs and what is the rave all about?

This article aims to break down STOs, what it is all about, and how it can be beneficial to you.

What Exactly is a Security Token Offering?
STOs, simply put, provide a means of tokenizing fungible financial assets such as stocks, bonds, and REITs, and introduces the tokens to the public through regulated channels.

STOs are a lot like ICOs as they generally involve the same processes. However, the differentiating factor between STOs and ICOs is in the tokens being sold. With ICOs, the tokens are usually non-descriptive and could range from anything digital currencies to utility tokens. With STOs however, the token is a “security”, meaning that it is exchangeable and possesses a set monetary value.

Breakdown of Security Tokens
Security tokens function as digital versions of the assets they represent. Here’s a list of some popular security token representations:

1- Capital markets: Firms can convert their shares into tokens, allowing investors to own parts of the firm. In some cases, owners of tokens receive dividends and can execute votes on the affairs of the firm.

2- Equity funds: Equity funds can also tokenize their shares for sale.

3- Commodities: Commodities like gold, natural gas, coffee can be tokenized.

4- Real estate: The equity of this asset class can be tokenized, much like how REITs function.

STOs do not change the underlying securities, instead, it makes these assets more readily accessible on a digital platform.

Unlike other digital assets, security tokens can only be traded on certain regulated exchanges. Some exchanges require interested investors to meet some set qualifications.

Advantages of STOs
STOs are formulated with regulatory-compliance in mind, unlike ordinary token sales. Security tokens provide its owners with several legally binding rights. Some security tokens even bestow its owners with rights to dividends or other defined streams of income.

Security tokens are also beneficial to their issuers. From the onset, the entities issuing the tokens are aware that their tokens are being purchased by accredited and verified investors and so, they don’t have to worry about the credibility of their investors.

Other advantages of STOs include:

1- It is adequately regulated: Entities issuing security tokens must operate under the guidance of designated regulatory agencies in the region like SECs and FTCs.

2- You can rest assured that STOs won’t falter in the future: Unlike ICOs that cannot be guaranteed, STOs are sure to always deliver because it is properly regulated.

3- STOs offer great convenience: Procuring security tokens is easy, straightforward, and stress-free. All you need to do is to adhere to the STO requirement in your jurisdiction and you’re good to go.

4- It can be programmed: Security tokens are programmable and can be facilitated by smart contracts.

5- Automated dividend disbursement and voting: Some security tokens are structured to send dividends automatically through smart contracts. Also, some security tokens provide the bearer with exclusive voting rights in the affairs of the entity offering the tokens.

6- It is a globally accessible investment vehicle: Investors across the globe can procure security tokens regardless of their location.

7- It is not susceptible to manipulation: Considering the mode of operation STOs are run by, big players cannot manipulate its movements.

8- STOs are very liquid: It is a very promising investment option as it has an impressive liquidity quality and can be traded easily.

With benefits like these, STOs are for sure transforming the fundamentals of the financial sphere.

Disadvantages of STOs
As with every other form of investment, security tokens has its limitations and shortcomings. Some of these limits are:

1- It is considerably more costly than utility tokens: STOs, unlike ICOs, hosts many organizations in their fundraising campaigns. Also, regulatory fees are not cheap which makes it more capital-intensive to host STOs.

2- Investor Qualifications: Countries like the US have certain qualifications an investor has to scale before becoming eligible to engage STOs. According to the SEC to be an “Accredited investor”, you must have an annual income rate of $200k and above or a minimum of $1 million in the bank.

3- Specific trading conditions: STOs can only be traded on certain designated exchanges. Also, these tokens are time-bound meaning that you are allowed to trade these tokens between investors for a set period after the STO.

The Howey Test
Usually, tokens are said to be securities, by law, when they pass certain thresholds. One such way to identify a security instrument is by applying the “Howey Test”.

But first, let’s look at a piece of quick background information on how the Howey test came to be. In 1944, a citrus plantation called the Howey company of Florida leased out a large portion of its land to several investors in a bid to raise funds for much-needed developments.

The buyers of the land were not skilled or versed in citrus farming in any way and decided instead to just be “speculators” and let the experts do their jobs. The lease was made on the premise that profits would be generated for the investors by the lessor.

Not long after the business transaction the Howey company was sanctioned and accused by the United States SEC of failing to register the sale with the authority. The SEC maintained that the company was dealing with unregistered security. Howey denied the claims however, assuring that what it offered wasn’t a security.

After much debate, the case ended up in the Supreme Court, which later ruled in favor of the SEC that Howey’s land leasing were undoubtedly securities. It remarked that investors were purchasing land mainly because they saw an opportunity to make a profit off the deal. Howey was then ordered to register the sale.

This was the story of the enactment of the Howey test.

Today, per the Howey test, anything is deemed to be a security if it satisfies the following criteria:

1- The investment included money.

2- The investment was made on an enterprise.

3- Profit will be made from the efforts of the providers of the investment.

The Howey test has become a stronghold name in the crypto space. In 2017 and 2018 (during the “Heydey boom”), many ICO providers were completely consumed with scaling the Howey test as it was a major determinant used in ascertaining the legality of an ICO by the SEC. Failure to pass the test meant the offering was illegal and was sanctioned by the authorities.

Some ICOs even advertised their tokens as investment instruments that had no value, describing their tokens as “utilities” used only for interactions on the platform.

The Inception of STOs
The very first STO was released by Blockchain Capital on the 10th of April 2017. The release pooled about $10 million in one day.

Several STOs have been released following the first event including tZero, Sharespost, Aspen Coin, Quadrant Biosciences, and many more. STOs have since gained widespread acceptance and relevance in today’s market.

Understanding the Distinction Between Security Tokens and Tokenized Security
Confusing security token for tokenized securities is a common trap that people fall into. The main distinction between the two is that the former is usually a recently issued token that functions on a distributed ledger system while the latter is just a digital manifestation of pre-existing financial instruments.

Apart from similarities in appearance and nomenclature, security tokens have absolutely nothing in common with tokenized securities.

What Entities are Involved in an STO Issuance?
Assuming a business entity plans on issuing security tokens as an embodiment of equity in its establishment, the next necessary step for that business would be to involve certain players and follow certain directives.

It has to formally contact an issuance platform to serve as a medium for issuing the tokens. Popular issuance platforms include Polymath and Harbor, which consist of service providers like custodians, broker-dealers, and legal entities to carry out secure processes.

Who Can Invest in STOs?
STOs are available to the general public for the taking, regardless of location. However, as mentioned previously, the US has certain rules guiding STO investments.

In the US, it is mandatory to be an “accredited investor” before you can invest in this instrument. An accredited investor is an individual with an annual cash flow of $200k and above for at least 2 years or a net worth of $1 million and above.

More nations are starting to adopt the United States’ classification method and have begun restricting certain classes from investing in STOs.

It is advisable to always research on the STO rules and regulations of the jurisdiction you’re planning on investing with.

Final Word
STOs provide businesses with the prospect of raising funds in an easy and regulated setting. It gives both investors and issuers a good deal of benefits, while also ensuring insurances against fraudulent or malicious practices, unlike ICOs. Issuers are not limited to any industry, they can vary from several sectors including real estate, VC firms, and small and medium enterprises.

Moving forward, we will likely witness prominent firms venture into the STOs.

Bitcoin: Upcoming Halving And What To Expect

Bitcoin’s upcoming halving will be one of the most followed crypto-related occasions in the year 2020. Thousands of cryptocurrency enthusiasts will be observing the markets eagerly to witness what effect this year’s halving will have on the cryptocurrency.

Many believe that the occasion would have a positive effect on BTC’s price as has been observed in the past.

On the other hand, some are expecting the price to drop dramatically after the occasion.

Whatever the result may be, it is apparent that this occasion will be a defining juncture for Bitcoin.

In this review, we breakdown what the Bitcoin halving is all about, some effects of this occasion, historic occurrences, and what to anticipate from this year’s halving occurrence.

Bitcoin was built on a system that mandates regular halving (also known as Halvenings) to sustain its value. The halvings are programmed to happen every 4 years. Already, Bitcoin has witnessed two halving processes, the first in 2012, and the other in 2016. The next halving process is scheduled for the 20th of May 2020.

Bitcoin’s Value Preserving Strategy
Bitcoin runs on a deflationary economic model which ensures that over time, lesser and lesser Bitcoin tokens will be created until finally, the creation of new Bitcoin tokens will end.

BTC’s total supply is capped at 21 million, meaning that it is impossible to have more than that exact number of Bitcoin token in circulation at any point in time. It has been estimated that the very last Bitcoin token will be mined in the year 2140.

Bitcoin’s deflationary model predisposes it to scarcity which increases in demand, thereby causing its value to increase as well.

This model is different from traditional fiat which is based on an inflationary model, this means that banks can instruct for the printing of more banknotes at will. This is not an ideal practice per se as a boost in the volume of banknotes in circulation could result in the devaluation of that currency.

Bitcoin’s “Block Reward” System
New Bitcoin tokens are pumped into the market through a popular process known as cryptocurrency “mining”. Bitcoin miners get rewarded with a Bitcoin “block” allotment every time they successfully solve transactions. The blocks are allotted by the Bitcoin algorithm.

The block rewarding process happens every ten minutes. So in fact, ten minutes from this moment, new Bitcoin tokens will be created.

Mining is not an easy process. It requires a certain level of expertise, specific hardware, and a serious quantity of electricity.

After the inception of Bitcoin, the first mining reward was fifty Bitcoin. This meant that every ten minutes, a Bitcoin miner received fifty Bitcoin tokens for solving transactions.

That number has since been halved, twice, and is now at 12.5 Bitcoin token per block reward. By May this year, the halving will bring that figure down to 6.25 Bitcoin token per block reward.

This feature has been pre-programmed into Bitcoin’s system.

What This Could Mean for Mining
Lesser block rewards are not the only reason Bitcoin is scarce. It has gotten significantly harder to mine Bitcoin and receive rewards. This is because mining is now more difficult as more miners are entering the system thereby increasing competition.

Consequently, an increase in competition means miners require more sophisticated tools to solve cryptographic Algos.

Over the years, miners have created what is known as “mining pools” to better handle the rising competition of mining. Mining pools are a network of miners, collectively working towards achieving block rewards.

Block rewards in mining pools are distributed according to the percentage of effort put into earning a block.

Improved Stock-To-Flow Ratio
Halvings have several profitable impacts on Bitcoin. One such effect is that it boosts the Stock-To-Flow ratio of Bitcoin.

A commodity’s STF ratio is calculated by dividing the quantity of the asset held in reserves, by the quantity manufactured in a year. The greater the STF ratio, the lesser the annual inflation on that asset.

Commodities like gold possess a very impressive STF ratio as its available quantity is limited.

Presently, Bitcoin has a significantly lesser STF ratio, unlike gold. Regardless, more halving occasions will boost the Bitcoin’s STF ratio. It is even believed that someday, Bitcoin will surpass gold in the STF ratio rating and will be an even better store of value. This is probably why Bitcoin is dubbed “digital gold”.

After-Effects of Previous Halvenings
2012’s Halving
The first Bitcoin halving happened on the 28th of November. On that day, the cryptocurrency recorded a 6.5% trade range.

Regardless, to the surprise of many, the price remained at a consolidated state months after the occasion. This was partly because Bitcoin was still in its infancy and so, not many people were engaged with it. Also, media coverage at the time was not what it is today, which means many people were not informed of what was going on.

Based on the information on Bitcoin’s BNC Liquid Index, the price of BTC attained a high of about $32 on the 8th of June 2011.

The price of BTC never broke above the $32 mark until the 28th of February 2013 (4 months later), where price witnessed a climb to $260 after which a drop was experienced and the price stayed below that level for several months.

Fast forward to the 30th of November 2013 (close to a year after the 2012 halving), Bitcoin rallied dramatically and peaked at $1,167, which was a whopping 9,686% increase from the initial price of $11 on halving.

2016’s Halving
On the 9th of July 2016, the second halving, the price peaked at $664 but did not maintain that uptrend instead fell to $626 on the same day.
Subsequently, the price continued on that downward trajectory for about three months.

However, things started looking up for Bitcoin from the 27th of October 2016 when price closed above the previous halving’s high of $664.

Bitcoin later proceeded to smash its last all-time high of $1,167 on the 23rd of February 2017. This spike started the famous bull rally of 2017 through 2018, which witnessed a peak at $20,000 sometime in December 2017.

2016’s halving shot Bitcoin’s price from $664 to $20,000 which was a growth of 2,912%.

Possible Outcomes of this Year’s Halving?
In the crypto sector, the Bitcoin halving is undoubtedly among the most talked-about and anticipated occasions of the year.

Presently, there are mixed expectations as to what the outcome of the 2020 halving may be.

Many in the crypto sector are very optimistic and believe that, just as in the past, the price will soar dramatically either before or after the occasion.

Creator of Kraken, Jesse Powell expects the price of Bitcoin to rise close to $100k or 1 million after the halving.

The CTO of Morgan Creek Digital Assets also shares the belief of Jesse and expects Bitcoin to reach the $100,000 mark by 2021. He says that scarcity is a driving force for the demand of any commodity. He explains that the 2020 halving will cause Bitcoin to be more scarce.

Other crypto players believe that this year’s occasion will not have a similar trajectory with past occasions and would, instead, mar the price of Bitcoin.

Another possible scenario that has been observed over time is the “buy and dump” case. This scenario usually plays out when there is a highly anticipated occurrence. It works exceptionally well when the upcoming occasion is sure to have a quantifiable effect on supply and demand dynamics.

The price of the asset in question experiences a huge spike just days or a few weeks to the main event. This transpires because investors stock up on the asset towards the event. After the event, however, the price of the said asset drops significantly.

This kind of activity has transpired frequently in the cryptocurrency space. One such occasion was the Bitcoin futures trading releases for the CBOE and CME.

Just a few days to the CME’s release, the price of Bitcoin rallied from $6,400 and peaked close to its all-time high of $20,000 in a day. Not surprisingly, the price dropped considerably in the period that followed those releases.

Furthermore, some cryptocurrency experts believe that the aftermath of the halving has already been priced in. It has been observed that demand is “missing” in the Bitcoin market, this could be a clear indication that the halving has been priced in.

Usually, months before a halving, a boost in demand and price of Bitcoin is always noticeable. This time, however, no increase can be observed in neither of the stated areas.

In this case, it could lead to a lateral trading period which might be a good thing for traders.

At the moment, Bitcoin is still struggling to break above the $7,200 mark and there are no signs of a reversal happening soon.

Whatever the result may be one thing is for sure, the price of Bitcoin is set to experience drastic changes this year.

Our bullish expectation is that the price will break the resistances of $8,800 and $9,200. Then the same momentum will be extended to the $10,000 price level. However, the bears may want to put up a fight to defend the $9,200 resistance. If the bears defend successfully, Bitcoin will be compelled to a sideways move.

Daily Chart Indicators Reading:
The 21-day SMA and the 50-day SMA are pointing northward indicating the upward move. The 21-day SMA acts as a support to Bitcoin. Meanwhile, MACD provides a buy signal for Bitcoin as the MACD line and the signal are above the zero lines.

BTC/USD Medium-term Trend: Bullish
On the 4-hour chart, the price breaks the support line of the horizontal channel. Later Bitcoin finds support at $8,250 low. The $8,250 low was well supported by the bulls as the coin makes a bullish move. The price is approaching the resistance at $8,800. If successful above $8,800, the price will rally above $9,200.

4-hour Chart Indicators Reading
Bitcoin has risen to level 66 of the daily Relative Strength Index period 14. This signifies that the coin is in a bullish trend zone. However, if the RSI rises above level 70, Bitcoin will be said to have reached the overbought region of the market. Then we may experience a fall in BTC price.

General Outlook for Bitcoin (BTC)
The upward move in the last 24 hours is a positive development as Bitcoin bounces at a low of $8,250. All the indicators are in the positive direction of the coin. However, the RSI is level 68 indicating that the coin is approaching the overbought region. In other words, the upward move may soon be interrupted. After a retracement, the coin will resume its upward move.
