Bitcoin Price Fighting to Close Week Above Key $7,200 Resistance Level

On Saturday Bitcoin (BTC) price punched a hole through the $7,200 resistance, rallying all the way to $7,293 to briefly escape the resistance cluster the price has been trapped within since April 6.

As the Bitcoin price surged on Saturday, altcoins also added commendable gains. Ether (ETH) rallied to $189.60 before pulling back to trade at $182.50. Chainlink (LINK) pushed to $3.82 and at the time of writing trades for $3.70 while Tezos (XTZ) surged to 12% to $2.37 before dropping to $2.23 in the last hour.

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $208.4 billion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 63.4%.

Bullish traders are now focused on pushing the price above the $7,258 resistance in order to target $8,000. $7,400 is the next important level and as shown by the volume profile visible range, above $7,433 there is a volume gap to $8,550 but as discussed in a previous analysis, the 100 and 200-day moving averages (both closely near the 61.8 Fibonacci retracement level) have been forecast as levels of resistance.

For weeks now, traders on crypto Twitter have expressed their desire to open short positions from $8,000-$8,500 but only time will tell as Bitcoin has an uncanny tendency to chart its own path against the groupthink of many traders.

Some traders, such as Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe, have even suggested that this weekend’s exciting price action is nothing more than a bull trap. Van de Poppe points out that the price is currently battling to overcome the zone surrounding the yearly open.

He also concedes that a move about this level strengthens the possibility of the price rallying to $8,000 the trader also reminds crypto investors that:

“Traders should also take into account that movements during the weekends are usually a lower volume and often “traps.” These are movements in one direction to take liquidity (which is lower during the weekend), which immediately reverse the other way around.”

While the price was successful in closing above $7,200, the weekly close approaches and a series of rejections at $7,253 could lead to the price pulling back below $7,000. In the event of a reversal, Bitcoin has soft support at $7,121 and below this level at $6,850-$6600, and $6,400-$6,300.

Going off the long-term descending trendline from the Feb. 13 high at $10,508, the $6,900-$6,750 area is especially important as a close below the trendline $6,715 would suggest that bears are on the verge of pulling off a trend change.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
