What to expect from Bitcoin this week.
We finally saw the slide halted, for at least the time being, and there could be a couple positive develops this week that could help continue the recent rally.
Last week, we saw prices come off the lows coinciding with positive news coming out from the Senate Banking Hearing.
What could be the catalyst for some upside moves this week?
First, we have the progress made during the meeting between the Senate Banking Committee and SEC and CFTC.
It was first mentioned here:
In the meeting we heard that they are not going to do anything to stifle innovation.
Phew.
They seem to be very much open to letting market forces dictate things, while at the same time sniffing out those that are just looking to abuse the current financial laws.
Basically, we are looking for some updates on how exactly they are going to do that this week.
Secondly, the state of Wyoming is set to vote on some cryptocurrency bills.
Some of the specifics can be read here:
https://www.coindesk.com/utility-token-exemption-sought-in-new-wyoming-blockchain-bill/
Basically, they are looking to pass some bills that would except certain utility tokens that meet specific standards from falling under current regulatory laws that might label them as securities.
If passed, it could help better define what is a security and what isn't which would go a long ways in not stiffing innovation as some coins aren't being introduced for fear of being labeled a security.
Finally, there is a big bitcoin super conference in Dallas Texas.
The exact date and time of the conference is posted at the top of the page.
Some of the specifics can be seen here:
https://www.bitcoinsuperconference.com/
Usually around these conferences some bullish news gets released and overall they are generally pretty positive.
We are at a pretty good spot technically for prices as well.
Something like 33% off the lows currently, which were put in on heavy volume and at an expected support area.
I think prices may dip just slightly to begin the week after our recent rally, but then I could easily see one or all of the catalysts listed above help give bitcoin some fuel to get back up near that $10k level, which I think we will see tested sometime this week.
We ultimately will break that level, but we may need to chop around for a few weeks first before we see some real sustained momentum.
Stay informed my friends.

Let's hope we don't get any unexpected FUD that sours the optimistic investors sentiment that has been built up over the past week.

Agreed, market sentiment certainly seems to be shifting but we can’t be certain the bleeding has stopped! The tether concerns seem to have died down recently but that could rear its ugly head if the worries are true.

It looks like we've tested quite well considering the challenges bitcoin has been through this year. I wouldn't be too surprised to see bitcoin stall or even pull back for a bit. You can't restart the up trend too soon after such a huge correction. Or we could...IDK. Either way is ok for me. I wrote an article yesterday sharing my new perspective on bitcoin and why I now believe it will never go to zero. If bitcoin is a binary play then that means great things.

Let me know what you think. Also, would love to make the crypto event in Dallas. I've been going to events for years but in the real estate and finance industry. Now crypto is where it's at and I'll start hitting those conferences in the next 6-12 months! Thanks for the post! :-)

It's great to see the market starting to find some stability. It has been a rough and volatile month full of FUD and panic. As investors or people who believe in the cryptocurrency model it is important for us to show our resolve when faced with difficult times. As with any type of market we are going to see fluctuations all the time. If we run like scared kittens everytime this happens then the market will never remain stable. We need to get the weak hands out of the market and all feel the success that slow steady growth will bring.
With this type of good new we can start moving forward again. My only hope is that the growth is slow and steady. We need th market to stay as stable as possible and if we have a huge boom like we just had then we will be right back where we started. Hats off to all those who have HODLed through the hard times. Let's get back on track and ride this wave to the moon.

Yes, they are all some possible boosters for crypto market. Personally, I'd prefer a less steep bull run. That would create the premises for a less volatile market perhaps, because we know that some people (well, I'd better say most people) are scared of volatility, thus the FUD when the market is bearish.

Since the downturn, the BTC price has been looking manipulated... in a different way than I expected. Its possible that a group of whales are manipulating the price by selling into price surges so they will profit from their hedges on the options exchange. I think they realized that trying to control BTC on the options exchanges is not really possible but the options exchanges have created an opportunity for easy money for those with a big enough stake to control the price of BTC on crypto exchanges. Just like voting on Steemit... if there is a possibility of easy money people are gonna manipulate the system.

I think that as we have seen, cryptos move up along with the market in general. The market went down a bit on friday with the cryptos holding on but for the most part the markets have been on a bull run along pretty much all other asset classes. I think the over all market should be rebounding this coming week and all the cyptos with it.

I think the recovery is very weak. Bitcoin will probaby stay between 6000 to 8000. Checkout the trading volume for the last 24 hours its low about 6.5 billion for bitcoin. i think we need new money fo a price boost. More people have to come into crypto.

Saw a lot of comments about retesting the lows.
From a technical point of view we have recovered bout well with the dip at $5,900. We are currently setting in a lower high for BTC on the daily time frame at around $7,900. We currently look to be continuing our bull move for the time being as we have maintained higher higher and higher lows on the 4 hour time frame.
We should hit around $8800 and see if we can established a higher high. If we do this we will not be doing down for another dip for the time being.
That's just my opinion based of my techincal analysis.
