From Bitcoin’s attempt to reclaim the psychological $ 50,000 mark to the Sologenic Airdrop of 200 million tokens to XRP and SOLO holders, here are some of the news highlights in the crypto space.

Bitcoin news

The selling pressures Wall Street experienced on Thursday weighed on the cryptocurrency as Bitcoin again threatens to lose support at $ 47,000. However, the digital currency managed to close above that price while the rest of the altcoins fared better.

Edward Moya, Senior Market Analyst at Oanda, wrote in a customer note:

“Bitcoin and big tech stocks took a hit as investors shifted some of the riskiest bets in their favor. The crypto space is experiencing a lot of repositioning and that creates unwanted selling pressure, but the medium to long term outlook remains strong. “

Craig Erlam, analyst at Oanda commented:

“Bitcoin is still moving in range trading after another turbulent week for the market. On one hand, the trend is very much against it, but he sees strong support at $ 47,000 so this price is unlikely to be abandoned.

The bulls are clearly trying to pull bitcoin price out of the current trend. Many were hoping for a six-figure amount by the end of the year. However, it looks like they are now hoping for half the price ($ 50,000). “

With Bitcoin already 33% below its all-time high in November, the crypto king is in no danger as the downward trend shows that bear claws are in sight for the short term. However, nothing has changed in the technical picture of Bitcoin in the last few sessions. Bitcoin has support around last week’s low ($ 47,215) and is facing resistance around last week’s high ($ 52,195).

Other experts also warn that as long as the price stays above $ 46,000, which is where the 200-day moving average is, there is hope of a near-term rally to $ 55,000 if buyers react to the signals. Price momentum is starting to turn positive on the daily chart for the first time since October when these signals heralded a price rally. This time around, however, the uptrend on the weekly chart has slowed, meaning the uptrend could be capped before breaking above $ 55,000 to $ 60,000.
