Will Litecoin price move up as Bitcoin exchange fees rise?Will Litecoin price move up as Bitcoin exchange fees rise?
As the Bitcoin blockchain announces a new token standard of BRC-20, it seems that the blockchain fees are rising as a result due to higher demand. I have found two articles that suggest that Litecoin may become the preferred blockchain to transact on now. This could include a higher volume for both transaction and speculation.

BTCUSD LongHello guys.
This pair has been forming a falling wedge for the past few weeks, ever since bitcoin hit the 31000 zone, which is a strong indication of building a strong bullish momentum.
The price has retested the 27000 support zone, and I anticipate it is a good time to buy some bitcoins. My entry point is at 27400, target at 30100 and SL at 26500.
My R:R target is 1:3 for this trade.
Remember, risk only 1% of your account.
BTC may be controlled by institutional trends again this yearWhether this time and the last time true or false, the market reaction is real. The next time should be the middle of June, someone can calculate the specific date, because the last time in March, BTC fell to 20,000 that time is US GOV control. Then already clear sign will control four times this year, March that smash someone calculated just 1/4 day of this year, then the next time should be the 1/2 day of 2023. The 182nd day of the year or so.
The 182nd day should be July. I didn't count carefully.
Bitcoin H&S Neckline BrokenTraders,
As stated yesterday, pending Bitcoin price action, I may unload my Alts for profit/break even. All I sold just now (algo, audio, xrp) was barely in the green. But at least is wasn’t a loss. I do not like how the altcoins are responding rn to BTC’s H&S breakdown. As suspected, alts are mirroring the move down and should it carry on, I imagine alts will exaggerate the pullback.
As you know, I have been anticipating Bitcoins pullback here for quite a few weeks. Now we are finally seeing it. So, you might be wondering why I went long on a few of the altcoins a couple of days ago? Well, the answer is quite simple. I didn’t want to be left holding stablecoin if I was wrong and crypto went the other way. I always like to hedge myself against the possibility of being wrong regarding my predictions. We are getting close to Bitcoin beating that overhead resistance and I have never been real sure whether that happens before or after a retest of our neckline, though obviously, I have been banking on a retest prior to the win of our overhead resistance.
Anyways, once BTC finally touches that neckline, I will be back and ready to go long again.

If Bitcoin Breaks this Neckline, We will see $25,200 again soon!Head and Shoulders pattern. Now on the neckline. If it breaks, 25,200 is definitely in the cards sooner rather than later. And, from a technical perspective this would be both beautiful and extremely bullish Bitcoin! You all know I have been anticipating this retest for over 5 weeks now. Let's see if we can achieve what would become a gloriously bullish retest of that C&H neckline!

P.S. - Those who follow me know that I have entered a few altcoin trades long today. Unfortunately, DropsTab is having backend technical issues authenticating to Google today, so I have been unable to update my DT port as of yet. Spreadsheet should be up to date though. We are 16 for 16 of the last long trades. Let's put a few more wins in our belts and keep it flowing.

Last week's recap and what should we expect from BTC?It's been a long time since we wrote the previous idea, but now we're back with a bigger scale and will start with the current BTC situation.
The cryptocurrency market saw a sharp sell-off last week after rumors related to distributions from the Mt.Gox trustee and the U.S. government spread. By Wednesday, April 26, Bitcoin was once again facing serious resistance at $30k after a significant 10% rise since the beginning of the week. After the asset decreased to $27.2K, where the pressure was followed by the buyer's side. All this happened on the spreading of rumors inside Mt.Gox and American wallets, controlled by the Government. We also saw some activity from old BTC supply holders (>7 years old) which led to strong volatility in a low liquidity environment. After a significant rebound to values of $30k, Bitcoin quotes have fallen again and as of Monday evening, May 1, are at $28.2k.
If we consider the rumored movement of Mt.Gox coins, we see that their balance has remained stable at 137.9k BTC since the first allocation tranche in 2018, and not a single coin has been released from that wallet. While there has been no recent spending, the distribution is expected to begin in 2023, so we think it is important to monitor this balance, which is currently around $4 billion. Similarly, Bitcoin held by the U.S. Government has remained stable at 205.5k BTC. These coins come from seizures such as the Bitfinex hack in 2016 and the Silk Road hack in 2012. During the most recent BTC balance drop (March 7, 2023), 9,861 BTC were sent to the Coinbase exchange.
We can appreciate the flow of capital to and from exchanges as a measure of investor reaction. The recent rally was no exception: the exchanges have seen a non-trivial inflow recently, resulting in a net position change of over +30K BTC per month in recent weeks. This figure dropped slightly to 22.3 thousand BTC per month, which means less, but constant pressure from sellers in the market.
The growing share of younger supply during the rally is a sign of capital flowing into the market. It also signals that old supply (>6 months) is being spent, often using that liquidity of demand, resulting in a net transfer of cheap/old coins to new buyers at higher prices. The monthly change in the net young supply position shows that this net selling pressure has reached and stabilized at +250k BTC per month. This wave of demand has increased the total young supply by 366k BTC. Compared to the significant rally in the previous cycle, this pattern looks similar to the 2019 uptrend followed by an equilibrium period before the 2020-2021 bullish trend.
A similar pattern can be seen in the translation of dollar-denominated wealth into Young Supply. 28.2% of all invested capital is in the hands of recent buyers, which remains surprisingly low and still does not exceed the +40% threshold seen in previous bull markets. This suggests that the new inflow of demand remains relatively weak, but supply continues to be held predominantly by long-term holders with higher conviction.
Based on that, we can conclude that selling pressure from new investors was the key driving force that set resistance at the $30k level. If that current correction resumes, the underlying value of young supply holders at $24.4k could well be a psychological level to watch in the coming weeks. Thanks for reading, stay tuned!
Bitcoin (BTC) forming bullish BAT for another price reversalHi dear friends, hope you are well and welcome to the new trade setup of Bitcoin (BTC)
Previously we caught nice pump of BTC as below:
Now on a 1-hr time frame, Bitcoin is about to complete a bullish BAT move for the next price reversal.
Note: Above idea is for educational purpose only. It is advised to diversify and strictly follow the stop loss, and don't get stuck with trade
Update $BTC ChartDaily chart for BTCUSDT
(First of all, this is my own view, that is, it is not a recommendation or advice to buy or sell.)
My way of dealing with Bitcoin lately is that I deal with it in stages, once I look at the next stage, and each stage has places of failure and confirmation.
For me, Bitcoin still targets higher areas, unless it breaks 26942.82, it fails and then forms a descending wave targeting as shown and the extension is confirmed by breaking through its current high.
Let's discuss the next step away whether the price of Bitcoin extends or not.
Is Bitcoin still targeting falling price zones?
-Yes, it still is.
Is Bitcoin currently in the lows of new highs?
-Yes, although I would rule it out very much.
That's why I said earlier that I deal with Bitcoin in stages and don't skip it until it's confirmed to the other stage.
However, Bitcoin is an outright correction both now and if the price is extended.
After an explicit correction, there may be a good period for speculation to take advantage of the rebound.
When we are sure that the retracement is speculative rally and not a continuation of the bullish wave, simply if breaking the specified areas, it is enough to continue to the next.
(Now we return to explain the chart.)
If the 25k areas are maintained, it may be positive for Bitcoin, which may continue to target higher numbers than before.
If we break it, we'll see the 20k area and then we'll see a beautiful bounce to complete the station to the more important numbers 16k areas, as shown in the chart.
The question now is, Will Bitcoin suffice at this place, or will it still fall to the next area? Although I am a supporter of the big relegation to the 9k zones, it is very possible that he formed a bottom to complete the ascent for the next bull run, but we do not deal with emotion whether he will be satisfied or not! We see that as soon as Price Action appears clear and explicit in that area and we see the factors surrounding him having had enough of landing, then we continue to ride the bullish wave with him. However, in such areas, emotion prevails over the trader, so care must be taken.
On the chart, it is clear that if the 16k area is not respected, it will fall to 9k, but there are areas that precede it, so it may be enough for any one.
Good Luck^

Bitcoin Bulls Still Struggling!Traders,
Will this week or next become the moment when BTC bulls take a break and allow the bears to have their neckline retest? We will find out soon. Let's take a look at my chart to explain what must occur. There is one critical level that BTC must remain on top of if these bulls are going to continue this run. Can you spot it?
Before I get to what is key for BTC, let's talk about some of the other things happening on the chart here.
First, you will notice that black descending trend line. I drew that a couple of weeks ago in anticipation that new pivot highs would not be able to recapture previous pivot hit territory, let alone run higher, before a pullback to our C&H neckline. This, so far, has ended up to be the market's correct trend, descending. April 26 and 27 wick highs simply ended up becoming lower highs, confirming suspected descent. This descent continues today and nothing that I have been predicting for the last 4 (going on 5) weeks now has changed. I am, at this point, still expecting a retest of the C&H neckline at 25,300. If this does not occur now, it will occur later. And that scenario will wreck crypto market bulls completely. I'd much rather see this retest occur sooner than later. And, from a technical perspective, this would indicate lots of future strength and bullish price action to come.
But, if we are not going to retest the neckline soon, then there are a few things that I am looking to occur for the bulls to prove to us that they have the strength to take us up to that 36-40k target first.
#1. We have to stay above that 50 day ma. A break below would be further confirmation of that neckline retest.
#2. We have to either break above that descending black trend line AND/OR form a new pivot high on the daily beating the April 26/27 pivot high. This would simply be an early indicator that the bulls are targeting that 30k resistance again. Although, it's a positive sign for the bulls to be sure, they still must beat and confirm 30k. And until they do so, my neckline retest theory remains in tact.
#3. So, number three then, is a move above 30k with confirmation the daily. We must see at least one more, but preferably two, additional candles in succession opening and closing above 30k. That would be our indication that 36-40k is now in the cards.
In conclusion, I still believe that 36-40k target will be reached before the end of the year. But my hope is that we can reach that target with healthy market price movement prior to achieving that target. Healthy target price movement constitutes a drawback and touch of that 25,300 level before further ascension and currently that thesis is still being support by current market price action.
Best in all your trades,
Stew
Bitcoin BTC Price Targets after the FOMC meeting this weekThe upcoming FED meeting on May 3rd could cause a further decline in the crypto market due to the potential rate hike and ongoing unease around banking system developments.
The outlook for the crypto market after the upcoming FED meeting on May 3rd is bleak.
Fears of a deep credit crunch caused by Silicon Valley Bank's collapse have not yet materialized, and the financial situation is much steadier.
Additionally, inflation remains elevated, and with evidence of stubbornness in underlying inflation, it could be in the 4% to 5% range, far above the 2% inflation target. The markets are pricing in a 25bp Fed Funds rate hike to 5.25% at the May FOMC meeting, and given the steadiness in financial markets, persistence in price pressures, and continued decent activity, this could contribute to a further downturn in the crypto market.

Maybe, Maybe Not, Bitcoin 2015 triangle and MM corelating bull.Interesting to see the second impulse print of a long symmetrical triangle pattern in correlation to the MM going bull, last time we saw this was in 2015, both breaking out and resting in similar fashion.
Rarely does the MM go green, never has been this green, never been this green with this much of a triangle constriction.
--- Those who don't know the MM ---
The Mayer Multiple is calculated by dividing the Bitcoin Price by the 200 day moving average of the price. In this adjusted version, I apply a log transform and then a 4-year z-score.
Banking Crisis Pushes UpBitcoin Prices!Bitcoin's latest rally was fueled by First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) earnings report and federal seizure rumors!
In addition, for a long time after the advent of Bitcoin, it is generally believed that it is actually an important tool to hedge against inflation. After many back and forth, this view was tested in 2022. At that time, in order to deal with inflation, the Federal Reserve began the fastest and largest interest rate hike cycle in 40 years, which also helped the price of Bitcoin to rise all the way, all the way up To the current price of around 30,000.
Bitcoin Gains From U.S. Banking Crisis
From 2020 to 2022, the Federal Reserve's M2 money supply increased by 39%, and all crypto assets are beneficiaries - a historic surge in liquidity has inflated both stocks and cryptocurrency market capitalization, the latter in November 2021 Approaching the 3trillion market capitalization milestone. At that time, the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $67,500.
However, Bitcoin has since gone downhill as the Federal Reserve began cutting money to fight inflation. During the transition from QE to QT, the dollar strengthened, and Bitcoin prices weakened with it. And when the Federal Reserve further punctured the cryptocurrency bubble, the situation continued to deteriorate, including Terra and Celsius, to 3AC and FTX.
Now, as the holiday cycle draws to a close and the Federal Reserve begins to shake up more vulnerable commercial banks, Bitcoin is picking up steam again.
It’s important to note that of the three banks, the collapse of Silvergate was the only one that put negative pressure on the price of Bitcoin.
Judging from this incident, Bitcoin is not as a hedge against inflation as initially speculated. More precisely, and now more clearly, Bitcoin is primarily a hedge against currency debasement.
More broadly, it is a hedge against the greater instability central banks create through fractional reserve requirements. Under a fractional reserve system, banks hold only a fraction of customer deposits—a stark contrast to the whole concept of Bitcoin, which provides a finite supply of money with a decentralized self-stock that cannot be increased at will.
On the bright side, recession is the nemesis of inflation, and the Federal Reserve will enter a cycle of interest rate cuts at this time to stimulate the economy. And in this case, Bitcoin can only benefit. It is bullish on this possibility that Geoff Kendrick, head of digital at Standard Chartered Bank, said on Monday that by the end of 2024, the price of Bitcoin may reach an all-time high of $100,000.
BTC correction starts .. When to expect bounce?BTC / USDT
In my previous BTC analysis, I expected the correction to start from 32k-29k which is happening now (check my previous analysis in attachment below )
Are the bulls still in control and when to expect bounce ?
Simply, we can say as long as price is closing above 25k key level in high time frames .. Bulls are in control
BTC can bounce from any local support levels but the ideal point according to parabolic curve is around 25k (also act as a major support) and my midterm target are 36k-38k
In mean while, Dominance of BTC is showing weakness which is good news for altcoins market in coming days but keep watching it for any further update
