China lockdown triggers sell-off in global markets
Cryptocurrencies plunged on Monday amid a fit of investor jitters in global markets sparked by protests in China over Covid restrictions. Protesters, outraged by the strict COVID-19 regulations, called on the powerful Chinese leader to step down.
It was a rare rebuke as officials in at least eight cities tried on Sunday to quell protests that posed a direct threat to the ruling Communist Party.
Dissatisfaction with President Xi Jinping’s famous zero COVID policy after nearly three years of the pandemic has sparked a wave of public disobedience on the mainland not seen since President Hu Jintao took office a decade ago. .
The world’s second-largest economy is also feeling the effects of COVID-19 regulations. The protests, which began on Friday and have spread to cities including the capital Beijing and dozens of college campuses, are the broadest expression of dissent against the ruling party in decades.
Protesters in Shanghai, demanding Xi’s resignation and an end to one-party rule, were dispersed by police with pepper spray but returned hours later.
A reporter saw the detained protesters being taken to a bus as police again dispersed the protest.
What’s China got to do with the crypto crash?
As the world’s second largest economy, China has a significant impact on global financial markets; therefore, investors are looking for a safe haven to park their investments.
Stocks and cryptocurrencies are not seen as safe havens, which is why we are seeing price declines today.
However, as the situation in China improves and the protests end, there could be a strong bullish move in Bitcoin and other currencies.
Let’s take a look at the bitcoin price prediction.
bitcoin price
The current bitcoin price is $16,174 and the 24-hour trading volume is $25 billion. In the past 24 hours, the BTC/USD pair is down nearly 2.5%, while CoinMarketCap currently ranks first with a live market cap of $310 billion, down from $318 billion yesterday. There is a total supply of 21,000,000 BTC coins and a circulating supply of 19,218,643 BTC coins.
BTC/USD is trading lower on Monday after rejecting below the $16,600 resistance level which was extended by a downtrend line. Bitcoin has formed a descending triangle on the 4-hour chart which usually initiates a selling trend.
Bitcoin is currently trading at $16,150 and heading towards an immediate support level of $16,000. According to this, Bitcoin’s next support level is $15,650, which is extended by a double bottom support level.
Major technical indicators such as the RSI and MACD are in selling territory, suggesting significant selling pressure. The 50-day moving average extends resistance at $16,450, suggesting the downtrend may continue.
If buyers enter the market, a break of $16,450 could propel Bitcoin to $17,000 within days.
Ether price
The current price of Ethereum is $1,170, with a 24-hour trading volume of $5 billion. In the past 24 hours, Ethereum has lost almost 4%. Ethereum is currently ranked #2 on CoinMarketCap with a live market cap of $143 billion. There is a circulating supply of 122,373,866 ETH coins.
Over the 4-hour time frame, Ethereum formed “three black crows” indicating a strong selling trend. ETH/USD broke an uptrend channel that had supported the pair at $1,210 and is now acting as resistance.
At $1,175, Ethereum has crossed the 50-day moving average, which is a strong sell signal. In contrast, immediate support for Ethereum lies at $1,150, which has been extended from a low previously set on November 23rd.
The RSI and MACD indicators are also in sell territory, suggesting that ETH may be targeting the $1,115 support level.
On the upside, ETH’s main resistance remains at $1,185 and a break above it could take it to $1,235.
Presale cryptocurrency with huge potential gains
Trade Dash 2 (D2T)
Dash 2 Trade is an Ethereum-based trade intelligence platform that provides traders of all skill levels with real-time analytics and social data, enabling them to make more informed decisions. The platform will be operational in the first quarter of 2023 and will provide investors with information to help them make proactive trading decisions.
Investor interest was piqued after Dash 2 Trade, a crypto trading news and signals platform, raised $7 million in just over a month. As a result, the D2T team decided to abandon the project in phase 4 and reduce the hard cap target to $13.4 million.
Dash 2 Trade was also a success as two exchanges (LBank and BitMart) pledged to list the D2T token once the presale is over. 1 D2T is currently worth 0.0513 USDT, but this value will change to 0.0533 USDT when the sale ends. D2T has raised over $7 million to date by selling over 82% of its tokens.
