This week’s edition of ‘Time to Exchange’, is filled with some exciting news and also with some insights on the Bitcoin halving.
Market Analysis
Despite its retracement to last week’s lows at about $6,300 on Wednesday, April 22nd, Bitcoin’s price has maintained a mildly bullish outlook. It ascended as high as $7,738 on April 23, 2020, and after maintaining the $7,400 to $7,700 range for a few days, it then broke the $7,700 resistance. Bitcoin has not been able to cross the resistance at the $7,700 — $7,800 area but this week’s high is the highest level for Bitcoin’s price since the great dump of March 12.
$8,000 is a new psychological barrier for the volatile cryptocurrency. If Bitcoin can cross that mark, the bulls will have a run for a while. There is, however, a tendency for price to retrace and form lower lows. At the time of writing this post, Bitcoin is trading at $7,688. The market is yet to decide on the direction it would go but with the events happening within the Bitcoin ecosystem and beyond, it wouldn’t be out of place to imagine that the coming weeks will come packed with a lot of activity and volatility for the cryptocurrency.
The most significant event that would affect Bitcoin’s price in the coming weeks besides the pandemic and ongoing economic chaos and money printing is the Bitcoin halving which would occur on May 11, 2020.
This is the third Bitcoin halving in history, the first happened in 2012 and the second in 2016. By the time the second Bitcoin halving occurred, Bitcoin was trading at about $600. The third halving is upon us and many are excitedly waiting to empty their bags hoping that the price would shoot for the moon. This moon shoot may not happen the way people expect it. It is likely that we even see a drop in price in the short term at some time before or after the halving. Anything can happen.
What do you think the price of Bitcoin would be on the date of the halving? Share your predictions in the comments.
The first 50 commenters would receive some TPT and the best commenter would get the lion’s share of an undisclosed amount of TPT.
