- Bitcoin price is trading between the immediate moving average support and resistance.
- Economic uncertainty continues to push citizens in Pakistan towards crypto trading; Bitcoin trading volume spikes.
Bitcoin, like the majority of coins and altcoins, is trading in the red on Monday 30. However, the 200 simple moving average is a dynamic inflection point that is supporting the price at the moment on the half-hour timeframe chart. Similarly, the 50 simple moving average on the same chart is preventing retracement on the upside.
In other news, Pakistan is on the verge of an economic crisis due to the recent national elections in the county. Economic uncertainty has become more apparent following the intentions of the Former cricketer, Imran Khan to take control of the government. Significantly, digital assets trading volumes have been on the rise in the country due to both economic and political uncertainty.
A recent report Published by Forbes noted that Bitcoin trading volume is rising on most of the cryptocurrency exchanges in the country, particularly LocalBitcoins. Although Pakistan Central Bank said back in April that it will not support crypto trading, the locals in the nation have not wavered. Cross-border remittances are becoming difficult due to lack of US dollars and this is also contributing to the rising crypto trading volumes.
