    Bitcoin Price Makes Crucial Breakout, While Fear Enters Cryptocurrency Market

    Having lost this point during the news-driven massacre on the cryptocurrency market worth at least $180 million yesterday, the price of Bitcoin briefly found itself as low as $58,946, according to the Binance chart. However, buyers showed their hand, and over the next 12 hours, this imbalance, as they see it, was restored, with Bitcoin now trading as high as $61,200.It is interesting to note the divergence between what is happening on the price chart of Bitcoin and the sentiment of market participants as, according to the Fear and Greed Index, we are now entering the period of the latter, with a figure of 32 on the radar of this popular indicator. On the other hand, Bitcoin was able to regain important local price levels and was supported by buyers. Is it really a divergence, and while fear prevails, the bravest take advantage? What’s more important – price action or market sentiment?Without getting too philosophical, the only thing that matters is where Bitcoin goes next. There are really only three options: a march toward the dynamic resistance level currently at around $65,000, a further drop below $60,000 or a prolonged sideways chop that will eventually lead us to the first two options.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    BlackRock Tops $11.5 Trillion in AUM, More Bitcoin Bets Ahead?

    This product marked a complete pivot for BlackRock, a traditionally conservative firm. In line with its adoption of Bitcoin, CEO Larry Fink is now one of the major advocates of the digital currency. With the AUM boost, it remains unclear what the firm plans for its iShares Bitcoin Trust product overall.While the Bitcoin ETF is BlackRock’s flagship and most popular crypto product, BlackRock is also fully invested in iShares Ethereum Trust, the ETH ETF. Despite the generally poorer performance of Ethereum ETF products, BlackRock remains in the lead among issuers overall.With the massive uptick in BlackRock AUM, it may be inferred that Bitcoin and Ethereum contributed significantly to this new milestone.As a regulated investment outfit, BlackRock is combining a conservative approach with new tech adoption. As such, its current capital base might encourage it to take more calculated risks in the coin moving forward.Despite BlackRock’s stance, not all rivals share its vision for Bitcoin. Firms like Vanguard have specifically issued a highly publicized disclaimer that it will not get involved with Bitcoin, or crypto in general.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Schiff vs. Roubini: Who’s Bitcoin’s Real ‘Dr. Doom’?

    The conversation quickly expanded when a follower suggested that Nouriel Roubini, known as “Dr Doom,” would be a better fit to be featured in the documentary. The explanation behind this is that Roubini had significant archival interactions with prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space, including Roger Ver.However, Schiff responded by claiming that his criticism of Bitcoin comes from a different perspective to Roubini’s. While Roubini approaches the issue from an economic standpoint, Schiff emphasized his libertarian views and a deeper connection with high-profile Bitcoiners. He highlighted his past debates with figures such as Alex Mashinsky, the founder of Celsius, whose demise he predicted long before the company collapsed.Schiff also reminded the community that his warnings about the 2008 global financial crisis earned him the “Dr. Doom” moniker from CNBC, before it was later attributed to Roubini by the New York Times. Amid a spill to below $59,000 per BTC and liquidations of at least $180 million, the fear and greed indicator has experienced the strongest deterioration in favor of the latter in recent weeks.

    Bitcoin to Power Vehicles of Future – Michael Saylor Reacts to Elon Musk’s Robotaxi Event

    The message and the image seem to be a reaction to the recent presentation of Tesla’s Robotaxi/Cybercab made by its CEO, Elon Musk, on Oct. 10. This event was called “We, Robot…” referring to a movie starring Will Smith based on Isaac Asimov’s sci-fi stories.It seems to be a bullish reaction to the recent event staged by Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) boss Elon Musk. Musk presented unsupervised self-driving Cybertrucks that are going to be used as taxis. Musk gave a speech, in which he criticized the modern transportation system, which seems inefficient because of high traffic and other issues.Robotaxis/Cybercabs do not have a steering wheel or pedals, and they do not require any control from passengers whatsoever. Earlier, Musk stated that users would be able to allow their Tesla cars to be used as taxis since, on average, a car is not used that frequently per week.Aside from Cybercabs, the guests of the event also witnessed the appearance of Tesla-made androids called Tesla Optimus (“autonomous assistant, humanoid friend”). One of them even worked as a bartender, making cocktails and dressed correspondingly, also wearing a fedora hat and letting clients take a selfie with it. The robot showed a peace sign with his fingers while photos were taken.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Goodbye $60,000 Bitcoin? Traders Bracing for $58,000 Drop

    Looking at the chart, it can be seen that Bitcoin is still stuck in a downward channel and is unable to move out of it. Prices have been circling around $60,000, which indicates that bulls are being tentative and weak. The present price seems to be a critical support that may determine whether Bitcoin keeps falling or makes a brief reversal. A crucial mark for traders to keep an eye on is $60,000. The next significant support for Bitcoin is located around $58,000 if it is unable to hold above this level. Significant buy orders have been placed here, and a bounce might take place. But if Bitcoin is unable to hold $58,000, there may be more declines toward $56,000 or even lower. On the other hand, Bitcoin needs to recover at least $62,000-$63,000 and exit the downtrend channel in order for any bullish sentiment to surface again. This would be an indication that bulls are gathering steam and may once more target the $65,000 region.One way or another, it is almost safe to say that “Uptober” is canceled, as there is not much traction going on around the first cryptocurrency. The majority of traders are leaning toward selling and safeguarding their existing positions rather than accumulating.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Bitcoin price today: pinned at $60k amid regulatory fears, hot CPI

    The world’s biggest cryptocurrency briefly broke below a key support level on Thursday but managed to recover above $60,000, albeit briefly. Broader crypto markets were also mostly subdued. Bitcoin rose 0.6% to $61,403.0 by 09:26 ET (13:26 GMT). The token was trading down 2.3% this week. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday charged crypto market maker Cumberland DRW with acting as an unregistered dealer for over $2 billion in crypto assets since 2018. The move is the latest in the SEC’s long-running crackdown against what it perceives as multiple violations of securities law in the crypto industry. The agency is currently engaged in lawsuits against exchanges Kraken and Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) over allegations of breach of security law, on the grounds that crypto tokens fall under securities law. The case against Cumberland ramped up concerns over more regulatory action against the crypto industry. Recent speculation over a mass token sale by the U.S. government- of the nearly 64,000 Bitcoin confiscated from the Silk Road website- had also dented crypto prices.On the regulatory front, markets are now focused squarely on the 2024 presidential election, where pro-crypto, Republican candidate Donald Trump faces a tight race with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Harris is expected to likely continue the Biden administration’s crackdown against crypto. In other crypto developments, cryptocurrency exchange Bitnomial has filed a lawsuit against the SEC, accusing the agency of overstepping its authority by attempting to regulate a proposed XRP futures contract in conjunction with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).In a filing made on Thursday with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Bitnomial argued that the CFTC should have sole jurisdiction over the futures, and the SEC’s involvement would significantly increase its regulatory burden. The exchange had self-certified the XRP futures on August 9, confirming that they did not breach CFTC regulations.”Bitnomial disagrees with the SEC’s view that XRP is an investment contract and, therefore, a security, and that XRP Futures are thus security futures,” the filing stated.This lawsuit mirrors a similar action filed by Crypto.com earlier in the week. In that case, the exchange responded to an SEC warning about a potential enforcement action, describing its lawsuit as “a warranted response to the SEC’s regulation by enforcement regime which has hurt more than 50 million American crypto holders.”Risk appetite was also dented by hotter-than-expected consumer price index inflation data released on Thursday, which furthered bets on a slower pace of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.Relatively higher for longer interest rates bode poorly for speculative assets such as crypto.The dollar raced to two-month highs this week, further pressuring crypto valuations.Still, markets maintained bets that the Fed will still cut interest rates, at least by 25 basis points in November. Some soft readings on the labor market furthered this notion.Among broader crypto prices, most major altcoins tread water on Friday and were set for mild weekly losses. World no.2 crypto Ether steadied at $2,420.56. SOL, ADA, and MATIC climbed between 1% and 3%, while XRP fell marginally.Among meme tokens, DOGE added 1.5%.Ambar Warrick contributed to this report.  More
