Stock Markets Group - Today, on April 22, as we expected, the bitcoin rate met with resistance at $ 9,000 and turned down. The buyers did not have enough potenti
al to ensure further growth of the crypto currency, due to weak support of the external backg
round. Thus, the price of Bitcoin and the remaining Crypto-currency remains under pressure. At 19:10 Moscow time, the main trading floors show such values of the BTC / USD exchange rate: Bitstamp - $ 8,594 (-3.30%) Bitfinex - $ 8,595 (-5.6%) Coinbase - $ 8,600 (-5.7%) Market capitalization bitcoin at the current time is $ 146 212 billion. The bitcoin course has been overwhelmed by reports about the blocking of the work of Binance Despite the possible ban on advertising ICO, bitcoin and other crypto-currencies in Twitter, Jack Dorsey, the CEO of the company, sees the future of digital assets. In an interview with The Times, a well-known bitcoin investor said that he believes that the crypto currency will take the leading position in the world financial system and will become a payment currency in the next 10 years. "Ultimately, there will be a single currency in the world, and I personally believe that it will be bitcoin." He also admits that the bitcoin course remains unstable due to scaling problems, which makes it an expensive and slow tool, but does not think that the data problems will be resolved in the near future. "As more people in the world use bitcoin, the network is experiencing technical problems. But at the same time, new solutions appear that will make the crypto currency more accessible in the future. "Thus, the investor confirmed his investments in the digital asset and the expectations associated with the growth of the speed and decrease in transaction costs in the network of detachments. The Office for Controlling Foreign Assets of the United States has warned that in the future it may impose sanctions on bitcoin-purses of citizens of special categories and banned persons. The only problem with such crypto-currency wallets is the difficulty of notifying all related organizations that a single purse is banned. It is characteristic that such reports completely coincide with the recent statement of the head of the US Treasury Steven Mnuchin who promised that he would not allow turning bitcoin into a new Swiss bank to bypass sanctions. These warnings are not accidental, since the OFAC decision is a warning to countries such as Venezuela and Russia that have repeatedly stated that the use of national crypto-currencies is a good tool for circumventing sanctions. Apparently, the appearance of the Petro crypto currency and the successful implementation of investment by the government of the country, forces OFAC to act as a preemptor. The network reported that the Financial Services Agency of Japan warned the Binance exchange that, to continue work, the trading platform should receive a license. Information about this spread by the agency Nikkei, resulting in many market participants began in a hurry to close positions and sell bitcoin and other digital assets. Later, from the statements of representatives of Binance it became known that the exchange did not receive any instructions from the regulator. Nevertheless, by this time the bitcoin rate has already dropped by $ 500 and continues to lose value. Bitcoin rate today Bitcoin rate is falling under pressure from external background and rumors, investors are selling crypto-currencies Currently, the bitcoin rate continues to decline under the pressure of rumors about blocking the work of the Binance crypto exchange and OFAC sanctions against special categories of citizens. In order for the situation to get out of the control of buyers, it took quite a bit and this once again confirms the instability of bitcoin after the last strong fall in February. Positive scenario In the near future, it is unlikely that it will be possible to push off the current level of bitcoins. In the current situation, to resume growth, the Crypto currency will need to first decline to around $ 8,000, and only after buyers can make another attempt to turn the price up. The asset is stuck in the range and like us, and assumed it will stay in this comfort zone for a long time.Negative scenario The most likely scenario today is the drop in the bitcoin rate to the $ 8,000 area, as both the regulators and the media are pressuring the market for new burglaries and unstable operation of the largest crypto-exchange exchanges. Under these conditions, Bitcoin's price will not fail to recover, and the next target is the $ 7,000 level. Also, the bitcoin forecast does not imply a drop in the digital coin below this mark, as the previous test showed that buyers are not ready to let the market go lower. Crypto currency exchange rates on the market are experiencing difficulties in growth. At the time of writing, Ripple's losses are already 6%, and the Etherium lost 5.59%. The situation in the market of digital coins is close to a new panic, and in the coming hours they may intensify.
