Bitcoin ( BTC) bắt đầu một tuần mới dưới $30,000 khi cuộc chiến cứu thị trường khỏi mức thấp mới đang diễn ra.

After hitting its highest since the Terra LUNA crash last week, the largest cryptocurrency nonetheless continues to fail to reclaim $30,000 as support.

What could be in store this week? The potential for major upheaval from macro players, notably the United States Federal Reserve, is shapeshifting this week ahead of the World Economic Forum.

Đồng thời, áp lực thị trường crypto nội bộ vẫn còn do tác động của sự sụp đổ của LUNA tiếp tục diễn ra.

Cảm giác thận trọng giữa các nhà giao dịch là rõ ràng trong tuần này sau bảy ngày qua đã làm tăng kỳ vọng của thị trường.

Khi các thẻ LUNA và TerraUSD (UST) của giao thức Blockchain Terra nổ tung, sự suy giảm của họ bùng nổ khắp các thị trường crypto, và Bitcoin tự nhiên cũng không ngoại lệ.

Sau khi giảm xuống gần mức giá thực hiện chỉ dưới $24.000, BTC/USD đã tổ chức một cái gì đó phục hồi hình chữ V để bật lên qua $31,000 trong vài ngày tiếp theo. Sức mạnh đó, tuy nhiên, bây giờ có vẻ hạn chế, vì 30.000 đô la chứng minh là một mức độ bướng bỉnh để giành chiến thắng cho tốt.

Mặc dù hình ảnh trông chắc chắn hơn so với một số altcoins, các nhà giao dịch đang tránh xa bất kỳ giá tăng mạnh nào.

Một câu chuyện quan trọng tăng lực xoay quanh các mức hiện tại tạo thành cơ sở của sự bật lên cứu trợ mà cuối cùng sẽ kết thúc không chỉ ở sự từ chối mà còn là một cuộc tấn công vào mức thấp hơn so với những mức thấp hơn so với những mức thấp hơn so với những mức từ tuần trước.

“Just as us bulls fought the trend for the past few weeks, I think bears about to deny or refuse any more upside,” popular Twitter account IncomeSharks said in part of two recent posts on the BTC/USD outlook.

nói thêm rằng những người chỉ bây giờ lật giảm, tuy nhiên, sẽ “bị quá mắc kẹt trong thiên vị của họ.”

Trong khi đó, nhà giao dịch Crypto Tony nói rằng cặp này cần phải vượt qua $31,000, không chỉ $30,000, để tiếp tục cao hơn nhờ vào việc cựu đánh dấu mức cao trong tuần phạm vi.

óng to ra, hình ảnh hầu như không hề bấp bênh hơn so với khung thời gian hàng giờ hoặc hàng ngày.

The weekly BTC/USD chart, despite the modest recovery, closed its seventh red candle in a row on May 15 — the first time in history that such an event has occurred. The week closed out at around $31,300, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows.

Suy ngẫm liệu xu hướng giảm kéo dài có thể tiếp tục lâu hơn nữa – thậm chí vượt quá năm 2022 – tài khoản Twitter Nunya Bizniz lưu ý rằng dẫn đến các phần trợ cấp khối, Bitcoin trong lịch sử đã thấp hơn mức cao nhất mọi thời đại.

Như vậy, nó sẽ phù hợp với tiền lệ lịch sử cho BTC/USD để giao dịch đáng kể dưới $69,000 tại thời điểm giảm một nửa tiếp theo trong hai năm.

DXY sẽ không bỏ cuộc khi Davos dệt

Last week saw the Fed grapple with inflation, rate hikes and geopolitical strife, all factors that were ironically eclipsed almost immediately by Terra.

By contrast, no announcements of such significance are expected this week, but the underlying tensions have not gone away.

As such, the Russia-Ukraine war, inflation and measures being undertaken to mitigate it remain the topic du jour for central banks around the world. This will no doubt be a major topic of the World Economic Forum as the 2022 event begins on May 22.

The Forum, and the potential for Bitcoin-related soundbites from attendees both positive and negative, will follow a different gathering this week in El Salvador, where representatives of 44 countries will discuss Bitcoin.

“Tomorrow, 32 central banks and 12 financial authorities (44 countries) will meet in El Salvador to discuss financial inclusion, digital economy, banking the unbanked, the Bitcoin rollout and its benefits in our country,” President Nayib Bukele confirmed on May 15.

At the same time, the U.S. dollar refuses to quit when it comes to strength versus major trading partner currencies.

The U.S. dollar index (DXY), despite local consolidatory phases, remains in a firm uptrend which has denied bears a macro top for months.

DXY hit 105 on May 9, its highest since the week of Dec. 9, 2002.

“At the same time, the Euro is testing it’s 5-year lows vs the U.S. Dollar,” analyst Blockchain Backer tweeted as part of a thread on the macro environment as it relates to crypto.

“The Euro is a major component of the U.S. Dollar Currency Index (DXY), and historically has been acting inversely to the DXY.”

DXY traditionally pressures stocks and crypto markets as well, the latter nonetheless showing correction structures already seen in bear markets, Blockchain Backer argues.

“So, we have a lot of things happening here. Dow Jones below support break from last week. DXY in 20-year highs. EURUSD on support. Altcoin Market and Ethereum with similar correction structures seen before. But, no coins are flying as if a reversal is in,” the thread continued.

Regardless of upcoming events, it is the ghost of last week’s mayhem that is haunting the market on Monday.

The aftermath of the collapse of Terra’s UST and LUNA tokens is not yet fully understood as data continues to trickle in about both the breakdown and the company’s plans to mitigate the fallout.

Some facts appear clear, yet have not been officially corroborated, such as mass selling of the Luna Foundation Guard’s (LFG) BTC reserves. Others remain rumors, notably mass insolvencies of organizations with LUNA and UST exposure.

What happens next is equally unclear, and as Blockchain Backer notes, no one knows for sure whether the sell-off is done.

“Last week there was a devastating hit on LUNA and UST. We don’t know the complications of this and who took collateral damage from it yet,” it summarized.

“Were there other treasuries exposed to this? Has LFG sold off all their Bitcoin reserves, or is there more left? We don’t know.”

Attention is not just on UST, however, but on the industry’s largest stablecoin by market cap. Tether (USDT) saw its dollar peg slip last week, and despite there being no signs of a repeat UST performance, 1 USDT still does not fully equal 1 USD as of May 16.

“When things started hitting the fan for TerraUSD (UST), it started with a small slip, then spun out of control,” Blockchain Backer added.

As Cointelegraph reported, Tether’s creators have vocally defended USDT’s ability to ride out the storm thanks to its structure being inherently different from UST and algorithmic stablecoins in general.

“Over the next few weeks, we will start to know the full extent of damage as reports of significant losses and collapses emerge,” Crypto trading firm QCP Capital told Telegram channel subscribers in its latest update on May 13.

“In spite of the carnage however, we are heartened by the resilience we’ve seen in particular segments of crypto.”

LUNA continues to see uncontrolled volatility, making it all but impossible to chart on any timeframe, and at the time of writing on May 16 traded at 0.00023 on Bitfinex.

Analyst: Institutions stepping up to buy

Is anyone buying Bitcoin? Data says that the answer to this is a firm “yes” from certain market segments.

In analysis released on May 16, Ki Young Ju, CEO of analytics platform CryptoQuant, highlighted interest from institutional investors as a key phenomenon of Bitcoin between $25,000 and $30,000.

Ki explained that while the LUNA debacle had forced bids down toward $25,000, overall bids had remained the same for a year. Not only that, but those bids could now be mitigating the sell-offs related to Terra.

“If you see the BTC-USD order book heatmap for Coinbase, it’s pretty thick bid walls since the latest bear market in May 2021,” he noted.

“I think institutions tried to stack $BTC from $30k but had to rebuild the bid walls at $25k due to the unexpected LFG selling.”

An accompanying chart shows how events played out on Coinbase, the exchange that Ki says received the bulk of Terra-related funds for sale.

As Cointelegraph reported, meanwhile, the world’s first Bitcoin spot price exchange-traded fund (ETF) added a record intraday amount of BTC to its assets under management last week as two Australian ETFs began operating.

It is likely not surprising that crypto market sentiment remains on the floor.

Reflecting nerves over price stability, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index is firmly in “extreme fear” territory this week at 14/100.

Having hit historical bottom territory last week, the recovery has been conspicuously less robust than the original fall, which took the Index from 27/100 to 10/100 in five days.

Behind the scenes, however, all may not be as bleak as it seems.

Data from on-chain monitoring firm Santiment last week shows that amid the chaos, unique Bitcoin addresses continue to grow.

“The silver lining to this -33% drop the past 3 weeks is that $BTC’s address activity has remained steady,” it wrote in Twitter comments.

“The divergence between addresses & price is at a 16-month high.”
