Bitcoin is down 0.85% over the last 24 hours and fell to an intraday low of $23,840.83. The largest cryptocurrency attempted to break above the $25,000 price level, but it gets rejected once again, suggesting sellers are active at around $25,000.

ETH - Critical Resistance Ahead!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. ETH has been stuck inside a range between our 1500 support and 1700 resistance. Currently, Ethereum is sitting around the 1700 resistance. 🏹 For the bulls to remain in control , we need a Daily Candle Close above 1700. In this case, further bullish movement would be expected. Meanwhile, if we break below the last H4 low in orange , then we will be expecting ETH to reject the 1700 resistance to test the 1500 support again. In this case, as ETH approaches the 1500 support, we will be looking for new short-term buy setups as we did previously. 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich

BTC - One More Checkpoint! 🎯Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. As per my last analysis, we know that BTC has been struggling inside a small range between the 21,000 demand zone and upper orange trendline. The bulls took over short-term by breaking above the orange high. But that's just a signal that a short-term correction started. 🏹 For the bulls to take over again medium-term , we need a break above the upper orange trendline and red zone 22,700 Meanwhile, until the bulls take over, BTC can still trade lower inside the green demand zone or even break it downward. 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.

Ordinals on Bitcoin - A Cybersecurity Necessity or Just Hype?With the Launch of NFTs on the Bitcoin chain by Ordinals last month, the community is divided on what this means for Bitcoin as a chain and its future. NFT's have been a mainstay on several blockchains for years now, but until now their prevalence on the Bitcoin chain was understated. With the launch of the project Ordinal Protocol, that's changing. What is Ordinal Protocol Ordinal Protocol, created by Bitcoin Core contributor Casey Rodarmor, enables users to explore, transfer, and receive individual satoshis (1 millionth of a BTC), which can include unique inscribed data such as videos and images. Inscriptions make it possible to put content in a Bitcoin transaction and assign it to a satoshi. Once mined, the inscription is made on the first satoshi of the first output of the transactions, marking that satoshi permanently with the inscribed data. This process stays entirely on the main Bitcoin blockchain and does not require a sidechain or additional tokens. The protocol is enabled by Taproot - a BTC soft-fork upgrade that was activated in 2021 and brought enhanced security and smart contracts to the network. In addition to inscribing data into a single satoshi transaction, Ordinal also allows people to assign a unique serial number to each satoshi. This means that the first satoshi's in the output of notable transactions can have value for collectors even without an inscription within them. For instance, the first satoshi of the genesis block, or the first satoshi after each halving could become collectible due to their historical significance. In a way, this compromises the fungibility of Bitcoin but in reality a parallel could be drawn between these non-fungible Bitcoin's and bank notes or coins that people collect. They do not affect the fungibility of all Bitcoin, and regular users can continue to use them normally as well. Ordinal Inscriptions are, in many ways, superior to the NFTs that most people are familiar with. Ordinals are digital artifacts which means they are decentralized, on-chain, immutable, and unrestricted. Many popular NFT projects don't actually meet these requirements as they are often stored off-chain, controlled by centralized minters, and often on very centralized blockchains. Even with its novel and Bitcoin native approach, the project remains controversial among the community. Detractors Many prominent Bitcoin developers, including Adam Back, were quite opposed to the idea of Ordinals on Bitcoin, claiming that it was a waste of block space. This also led to a discussion over whether miners should censor these resource intensive and "useless" transactions. NFTs take up valuable block space on the network that will raise the cost per transaction for all users. Full nodes need to download the inscribed data when they receive confirmed blocks. With JPEGs and Videos, these blocks can be far larger than conventional transaction blocks requiring node operators to dedicate more resources. Proponents Blockspace in Bitcoin is assigned using a free-market auction. This allows Bitcoin to be fair, open, and accessible to everyone. As such, the free-market should be left to dictate how blockspace is assigned instead of a perceived "utility". With Bitcoin's tokenomics, most miner revenue currently comes from block rewards instead of fees. Although this is not currently a concern, as the block reward continues to become smaller, the security model of Bitcoin comes under threat. A Bitcoin native application like Ordinal provides an additional use-case for Bitcoin, which is mainly used as a transaction protocol for exchanging value right now. By filling up unused block space, Ordinal transactions incentivize users to pay higher-than-minimum fees to make sure their transaction is included faster which will drive organic revenue towards miners. Although, Ordinal protocol transactions provide a potential path to addressing a long-term security concern for the Bitcoin network, it also disincentives normal users of the network in the short-term. Overall, Ordinal transactions have led to a spike in BTC network activity as well as fees. Still, as with most NFT projects, there is a high chance that the hype surrounding the project ends up fading away and Ordinal related transactions drop off again. However, the project has prompted an interesting discussion about the long term security and utility of the Bitcoin Blockchain. Regardless of whether Ordinals end up being a fad or a mainstay on the network, they've illustrated that blockspace and fees will be dictated by the free-market. We could soon see more similar projects now that Taproot allows smart contracts to be executed on Bitcoin. What are your opinions on Ordinals, NFT's, and the long term security model of Bitcoin?

However, if the price drops below $22,800, the BTC/USDT pair could find support around the 20-day exponential moving average ($22,470).

BTC & USDT.D - Strong Rejection Ahead!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst. I always keep an eye on USDT.D to feel the overall crypto market. 📚 And today I want to show the correlation between BTC and USDT.D 📌 BTC has been stuck inside a range in the shape of a flat rising broadening wedge (in red) BTC is currently approaching the lower bound / red trendline, so I will be looking for buy setups on lower timeframes. (to be confirmed after breaking an H1 high upward) The bears would take over IF BTC break below the lower red trendline and zone. In this case, a movement till the demand zone 21500 in green would be expected. 📌 On the other hand, USDT.D is stuck inside a range between 6.5% and 7.0% support and resistance. And we are currently approaching the upper red trendline. Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck!

BTC - Enjoying The Ride! 🏍Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst. As per my last analysis (attached on the chart), we know that BTC has been stuck inside a range in the shape of a red rising broadening wedge. The bears took over yesterday by breaking below the last minor low in gray. What next? As per the latest structure, we are expecting BTC to reject the lower bound of the red rising broadening wedge, especially that the lower bound is lining up with the blue demand zone. 🏹 As per my trading plan / style: As BTC approaches the blue demand, I will be waiting for a new high to form and get broken upward. The previous high break would be our confirmation that the bulls are re-gaining control, as BTC can still trade till the lower red trendline before reversing or even break it downward. 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
