Giám đốc điều hành Binance gọi “FUD” trong bối cảnh tạm ngưng rút tiền BTC
Bitcoin đang chịu áp lực vào đầu tuần, nhưng không phải vì những lý do thông thường.
Khi BTC/USD giảm xuống $28,000, các nhà quan sát đang theo dõi chặt chẽ các sự kiện trên chuỗi và tại sàn giao dịch toàn cầu lớn nhất, Binance.

Động thái của Binance đến khi số lượng lớn các giao dịch vào Mempool Bitcoin, đẩy phí đã cao hơn nữa vào lãnh thổ không thấy trong nhiều năm.
That had the unintended result of creating Bitcoin’s first-ever block in which miners earned more from fees than the block subsidy itself — 6.75 BTC versus 6.25 BTC, respectively.
Attention focused on Ordinals and even crypto investment giant, Digital Currency Group, as the source of the transactions. Later, market participants including researcher and investor Eric Wall revealed a potential source of the on-chain “spamming.”

Binance, meanwhile, came in for criticism from some of the industry’s best-known names over its policy.
“Bitcoin không bị tắc nghẽn. Nó đang trải qua nhu cầu cao”, nhà phát triển cốt lõi Peter Todd lập luận
“binance chỉ có thể cho phép người dùng xác định những gì lệ phí của họ sẵn sàng trả cho rút, và trả lệ phí đó. Chi phí ~$5 để có được một đầu ra trong khối tiếp theo. nbd Good chance @binance có một dự trữ phân số
Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao, also known as “CZ,” indirectly referred to “BTC withdrawal issues” at the exchange, labeling them “FUD.”
“Bitcoin network fees are fluctuating, 18x in a month,” part of a Twitter post stated.
As the events unfolded, BTC price action felt the strain, with a short-timeframe downtrend continuing at the time of writing.
Analyzing trader behavior, monitoring resource Skew noted bid activity increasing on Binance as Bitcoin returned to the $28,000 mark.

Traders eye key levels as BTC price hits 2-week lows
Beyond the immediate events surrounding Binance and fees, market participants continue to eye important levels for BTC/USD.
As the pair trends below $28,000, popular trader Captain Faibik is eyeing $27,300 as a line in the sand.

A further tweet on the day highlighted a tightening wedge structure in place for Bitcoin, with the logical outcome in the form of a breakout now due.
Fellow trader Andrew meanwhile bet on the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) as a potential support zone, this currently residing near $27,950 and already violated on shorter timeframes.
The day’s current low of $27,617 meanwhile marked Bitcoin’s deepest dip since April 26, per data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView.
“BTC is retesting at .618 after the Binance FUD. This is another Bitcoin vs $BTC moment,” crypto educator Crypto Busy summarized, referring to Fibonacci retracement levels.
“Bitcoin as a network is always stable, but exchanges and wallets need more scalability solutions. $BTC as an asset is retesting due to selling pressure and FUD. Remember, not your keys, not your crypto!”
CPI “good candidate” for risk-on rally
Turning to macroeconomic events, the week is set to be marked by the April print of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Due on May 10, CPI will be keenly scrutinized for signs that inflation is continuing to abate, potentially increasing the scope for lawmakers to slacken economic policy.
If there is one data release that could sink or ignite a stock rally, CPI would be a good candidate. Coming Wednesday 8:30 am ET.

In April, a slight dip below market expectations accompanied Bitcoin gunning for new ten-month highs.

“Numbers are expected to be ‘Good looking,’ good numbers are expected by market and partly priced in,” crypto trading and analysis account Doctor Profit told Twitter followers about CPI in part of weekly updates.
CPI is known as a volatility catalyst across crypto, but this month, not everyone is predicting upside continuation, even in the event of positive numbers.
Among them is popular trader Aqua, who revealed a broader correction inbound for BTC/USD thanks to what he fears is “distribution” — tactical selling.
This we take 24.8K nPOC soon, maybe, we have one more last upside squeeze if CPI data is good, CPI is in 2 days. But this here is looking more and more like a distribution and we are bound to see market correction in the coming weeks. #Bitcoin #BTCUSD #BTCUSDT #memecoin pic.twitter.com/n4Hp3LB97t

NVT underscores overheated network
The upheaval caused by high fees is already having an impact on long-term Bitcoin metrics.
Among them is the network value to transaction (NVT) ratio, which on May 8 hit its highest levels in four years.
As confirmed by on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, NVT is now at levels not seen since 2019.
Created by statistician Willy Woo, NVT ratio measures the relationship between value moved on-chain and Bitcoin’s overall market cap.
“When Bitcoin`s NVT is high, it indicates that its network valuation is outstripping the value being transmitted on its payment network, this can happen when the network is in high growth and investors are valuing it as a high return investment, or alternatively when the price is in an unsustainable bubble,” Woo explains on his own data website, Woobull.
Cointelegraph has extensively covered both NVT ratio and its follow-up NVT signal metric, the latter containing important nuances which influence how NVT data is interpreted.
Bitcoin miners still reducing BTC holdings
In a signal that Bitcoin miners continue to deal with the consequences of the 2022 bear market, BTC reserves they hold are at two-year lows.

As noted by on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, the amount of BTC in miners’ wallets is still trending downward, despite the recovery in BTC price seen through 2023.
“The return of miners’ interest in holding bitcoins for a longer time will be one of the other valuable factors for the growth of the price counties, which is necessary to be attention to in the coming days on the market,” contributor Crazzyblockk wrote in one of CryptoQuant’s Quicktake market updates on May 1.
Miners currently hold 1,826,695 BTC as of May 8, data shows — the least since July 2021.
As Cointelegraph reported, miners faced considerable pressure during 2022, as BTC/USD fell to risk their cost basis outstripping any revenue earned by mining.
Last week, separate numbers revealed that since 2010, miner revenues have nonetheless totaled over $50 billion.
