CFD on Bitcoin futures technical analysis

On the daily timeframe, uBTC: D1 tries to break down the support line, which, in turn, is the upper border of the previous neutral range. A number of technical analysis indicators have generated signals for further decline. We do not exclude a bearish movement if uBTC: D1 falls below the last 2 lower fractals and lower Bollinger band: 0.0425. This level can be used as an entry point. The initial risk limitation is possible above the last 2 upper fractals, the upper Bollinger band and the Parabolic signal: 0.053. After opening a pending order, move the stop to the next fractal maximum following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we change the potential profit / loss ratio in our favor. The most cautious traders, after making a deal, can go to the four-hour chart and set a stop-loss, moving it in the direction of movement. If the price overcomes the stop level (0.053) without activating the order (0.0425), it is recommended to delete the order: there are internal changes in the market that were not taken into account.

Fundamental analysis of CRIPTO - CFD on Bitcoin futures

USA may tighten regulation of cryptocurrencies. Will the uBTC quotes continue to decline?

Formerly the U.S. Treasury (US Treasury Department) required companies and US citizens to report transfers of more than $ 10,000 related to cryptocurrencies. In his opinion, cryptocurrencies can be used for tax evasion. Recently, a corresponding amendment was made to section 6050I of the US Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) actively opposes lending and deposit operations in cryptocurrencies, believing that this area of activity cannot be carried out in unregulated markets. The SEC previously warned Coinbase and BlockFi Lending against developing and providing such services. An additional negative for the crypto market may be the next court hearing regarding the claims of the American regulator to the terms of the retail placement of XRP cryptocurrency. At the end of last year, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs because of this.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight
