Cryptocurency
BTCUSDBitcoin lost 29,000 support in a weekly timeframe and faced heavy selling pressure, driven by the announcement of the highest inflation rate in the last 40 years in the United States, which not only caused the crypto market to fall, but also the stock market to fall.
Given this market reaction before the Fed meeting to announce an interest rate increase of 0.5 or 0.75 percent to be held tomorrow, it remains to be seen how much the Fed will increase interest rates and reduce the balance sheet.
If the contractionary policies continue, Bitcoin will not have significant support up to the 19000 area, and as can be seen in the weekly timeframe chart, the 19000 area is a strong level of support both statically and dynamically. And if we do not consider this area as a bitcoin floor due to the not-so-favorable economic situation in the United States, we should at least expect a strong reaction to this area.
📌Cryptocurency World , coin &Token Types: The Ultimate Guide❗❗It’s important not to confuse the terms “cryptocurrencies” , "Coins " and “tokens,” Different type of them ,as there are fundamental differences that distinguish them.
Summary :
To put simply ,The two most common blockchain-based digital assets are cryptocurrencies and tokens. The biggest differentiation between the two is that cryptocurrencies have their own blockchains, whereas crypto tokens are built on an existing blockchain.
What Is a Digital Asset?
Broadly speaking, a digital asset is a non-tangible asset that is created, traded, and stored in a digital format. In the context of blockchain, digital assets include cryptocurrency and crypto tokens.
What is a cryptocurrency coin?
Cryptocurrency coin, like Bitcoin, is essentially a digital form of money that is backed up by a native blockchain The functions of a coin are strictly monetary — you can use it as a mean of payment, store of value, or as a speculative asset to trade, and essentially that’s it. The features of a coin are also similar to fiat money — it is fungible, divisible, and the supply is limited.
By definition, a cryptocurrency coin serves only as a digital form of money. The most distinctive feature of a coin is that it is native to the blockchain it’s made on and operates independently from any other platform.
Okay, then what is “altcoin”? This is essentially any cryptocurrency coin that has its own blockchain but is not Bitcoin. Some altcoins are just forks to Bitcoin, meaning that they base on Bitcoin’s open-source protocol but still have their own blockchains, like Litecoin. Others, like Monero or Ethereum, are completely independent blockchains.
What is a token?
The token is a non-native blockchain asset and its value goes beyond only monetary functions. Tokens also require another platform to exist and operate.
For example, ETH is a cryptocurrency that is native to the Ethereum blockchain, which makes it a coin. However, one of the primary features of the Ethereum network is the ability to create new tokens within the network. The cryptocurrencies that are created on this network will be called tokens. For example, USDT — the most popular stablecoin pegged to the value of $USD is a token, which operates on the Ethereum blockchain.
A cryptographic token is a digital unit of value that lives on the blockchain. There are four main types:
1-Payment tokens
2-Utility tokens
3-Security tokens
4-Non-fungible tokens
Fungibility :
All crypto tokens break down into two broad categories — non-fungible and fungible, with the latter being the most common type. Fungibility is a feature of a token which essentially means that one token is indistinguishable from another.
In simple words, a dollar is always a dollar, and Bitcoin is always Bitcoin. You can exchange the $10 bills with your friend and each of you will still have the same value in the wallet.
but Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are a type of cryptographic token — a digital representation of value that lives on the blockchain.
NFTs can represent the value of physical assets. A painting, for instance. But they can also represent the value of digital assets, such as a short story that is only available online.
NFTs have three characteristics that set them apart from other types of token: 1. THEY’RE UNIQUE -2. THEY’RE VERIFIABLE- 3. THEY’RE TRADEABLE
-Utility Tokens:
Utility tokens are a popular type of fungible tokens that you can think of as the chips at the casino. In the same way that you need to buy chips to play blackjack or poker, you need utility tokens to power the operations on the protocol.
The most famous utility token example is Ether which powers all the transactions and smart contracts on the Ethereum network. As we just said before, ETH can be used as a means of payment, however, its primary purpose is to be utilized in the blockchain.
Social Tokens (fan tokens):Social tokens can be a very interesting type of crypto utility asset that recently gained a lot of popularity among the crypto space and also presented the concept of tokenization to the broader public. In simple words, social tokens are backed by the reputation of an individual, brand, sports club, or just any community
-Security Tokens vs Equity Tokens
In simple, security tokens are common stock on the blockchain. These tokens are similar to the company shares held by the investors and companies usually issue voting rights through a blockchain platform. The tokens are liquidated to create an Equity Tokens. In other words, these tokens contribute an investment contract, where the Investors typically purchase in anticipation of future profits in the form of dividends, equal sharing of revenue generated and the normal appreciation process.
Security tokens bridge the gap between the traditional financial sector and the blockchain framework; it’s one of the reasons banks have initiated the integrated Blockchain frameworks in their system. Issuing security tokens allows investors to raise funds through a thoroughly regulated digital share of its equity, asset or part of the revenue.
The key difference between Security Token and Equity Token is that in the security token, an asset like real estate, gold etc. are used as collateral. However, in the case of Equity tokens, the shares of the company are diluted into tokens.
We can place coins and tokens in different categories as you can see in the chart above, and some of them are common to other categories.
As digital currencies are emerging, various other categories may be added in the future.
-Governance token
Governance token is the type of crypto asset that grants its holders decision-making rights over the project’s protocol, its product, and its features .it represent voting power on a blockchain project. They represent the main utility token of DeFi protocols since they distribute powers and rights to users via tokens. Governance discussions on Yearn Finance. With these tokens, one can create and vote on governance proposals.
- Also Metaverse tokens are a unit of virtual currency used to make digital transactions within the metaverse. Since metaverses are built on the blockchain, transactions on underlying networks are near-instant. Blockchains are designed to ensure trust and security, making the metaverse the perfect environment for an economy free of corruption and financial fraud.
-DeFi tokens represent a diverse set of cryptocurrencies native to automated, decentralized platforms that operate using smart contracts. These provide users' access to a suite of financial applications and services built on the different blockchains.
BTC: The crypto king is back and aiming $70000Since November 9, 2021, the crypto king BTC has lost its ground, maintaining its trendline resistance. But last week, BTC broke and stabilized above the trendline resistance level and finally found its support.
How long BTC can rise. Technically it has significant room and scope to go up. BTC has room to test the $70000 price zone in the next couple of months from the current situation and worldwide economic turmoil.
From the present price zone, our initial target is $45300. Breaking and stabilizing above $45300, our next target is $52000/52200. We may see some minor corrections from $52000. But if BTC can break above $5200, it will open the door for a $59000/60000 price zone very soon. And final target to the upside is $70000 in the next couple of months.
On the other hand, from the current market situation, $40000 is first support, and 2nd support is identifying nearly at $36500 price zone and strong support $30000. I don't think BTC will break below $30000 without any significant reason.
MANA / USD 1 hour chart patterns - minimalI have been using this method for almost a decade. I have recently started listing them here for the play function. This is not an offer of anything other than patterns i use to feel the market. I think i am hitting on a similar array used by algorithms and AI. Time will be a part of this so the play function becomes an important aspect of set paths.
ETHEREUM BROKE IT'S TRENDLINEBetter to be careful about Ethereum cause on the weekly timeframe, it broke it's nearly 2yo trendline with a double top and a negative divergence. So if you think about buying I would caution you to wait and see it's reaction to the prior support $2650 and ret fib levels like 0.5 and 0.618 .
Let me know in the comments what you think about it? What levels do you think are important?
See ya...
Long SHIBAUSD - On the road to $0.00014We assume we got our bottom around $0.00002795 between the 0.618 and 0.786 Fibonacci on our correction wave 2.
We then enter phase 3 of the Elliott cycle with a target of 1.618 to $0.00014.
Is Shiba to the moon possible? Let's give the Shiba time to confirm our impulse.
Entry Price: 0.00003715
Target Profit: 0.00014 (+280.6%)
Stop Loss: 0.000025 (-32.8%)
Risk / Ratio: 8.5
Shorting ETH vs BTC It is pretty obvious that ETHBTC chart is looking bullish but it's at a big resistance and it's forming a Bearish divergence, which is not confirmed yet, many don't see that.
ETHUSD is looking strong too, but what if BTC goes parabolic and money starts to flow back to BTC, from ETH and ALTs, ETH will slow down for sure.
Everyone is underexposed to BTC currently because ETH was looking very strong during the dump and I think it was a bait.
We will see the Mother of all Alt Seasons, but not yet IMO.
Efinity cup and handleEfinity formed a nice cup and handle pattern on a daily time frame. I just bought more Efinity. Price target from this pattern is at around 3,00$.
