History of Bitcoin: The Underdog That Rewired FinanceBitcoin, a phenomenon that emerged at the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, has changed the way we think about money. To celebrate the token’s $73,000 milestone, we trace its origin story and look ahead into the future. To infinity… and beyond? Table of Contents A Financial Product Too Big to Ignore Born in 2008 as the World’s First Cryptocurrency The Very Early Days of Trading on Exchanges The Volatile Phenomenon That Sparked a Change in Finance A Place to Find Value in the Face of a Global Pandemic Cryptocurrency Trading Lands on Wall Street What’s Coming Next for BTC Price as We Move Deeper into 2024? Bitcoin for Your Thoughts? 📍 A Financial Product Too Big to Ignore 📍 Bitcoin’s story is the story of an underdog that pushed through volatility and disbelief, but also dashed forward riding on hope and enthusiasm. Bitcoin ( BTC/USD ), the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has so far managed to survive and overcome each one of its many pitfalls and obstacles thanks to its novelty, mystery, and investment appeal. Not only that, but the orange coin has progressed so remarkably, it has risen to rival the valuation of the world’s biggest companies. As we’re about to close the first-quarter chapter of 2024, we take a closer look at what has fueled Bitcoin’s price to record levels about $73,000 a pop. To celebrate the token’s historical milestone of $73,000 , we go back to its creation, tracing major development milestones. From wiping out billions of dollars from its valuation to logging stratospheric gains, Bitcoin’s history is nothing short of a miracle. Today, Bitcoin boasts a valuation of more than $1.4 trillion. In other words, more than double as electric carmaker Tesla (ticker: TSLA ), founded by the uber-rich eccentric engineer Elon Musk. With great power, comes great interest from Wall Street. A bunch of spot Bitcoin ETFs are now strutting among asset managers, finding their way to ordinary (and some degen) investors and money-spinning professionals alike. 📍 Born in 2008 as the World’s First Cryptocurrency 📍 The history of Bitcoin is relatively short. But it can sting. Because we were all playing games or being 8 years old instead of buying Bitcoin at 4 cents. Back in 2008, the financial system crumbled under the pressure of a global crisis. A collapse in the housing market led to millions of homeowners not being able to cover their mortgage payments. About that time, an individual—or a group of people—called Satoshi Nakamoto, concluded the banking system was not reliable. A new asset class emerged—one that did not need the intervention of banks to function. Bitcoin, as it was called in the white paper released in November 2008 , was born. Essentially, Bitcoin represented a new type of money. An innovative software system that intended to rewire the worldwide financial system. Bitcoin sprouted to life as an open-source software running on a peer-to-peer network called blockchain. One way to think of Bitcoin is to see it as an electronic form of physical cash without gatekeepers such as banks. The participants in the decentralized network are responsible for the verification of transactions, and all transactions are visible for the public. 📍 The Very Early Days of Trading on Exchanges 📍 Once it was born, Bitcoin stayed confined to a small network of only a few computers (and the early adopter group of ultra-niche geeks). Then, mining Bitcoin was able to get you hundreds or even thousands of coins in a few days’ time due to the low level of computing power required. Safe to say, the first people to play around with Bitcoin had no idea the tiny orange-themed gig will turn into a fire-breathing $1.3 trillion dragon. Instead, the squad of core developers would try and make the network operate as smoothly as possible. Once this was achieved, Bitcoin hit its first exchange in 2010. The first Bitcoin to be transacted on an exchange was worth zero dollars. Then at the peak of 2010, one Bitcoin reached a record high of 39 cents. Since then, the price of Bitcoin has experienced a wild ride as millions of people have onboarded the crypto bandwagon. Hundreds of exchanges have opened and traders today reach daily volumes of tens of billions of dollars exchanged in Bitcoin. Bitcoin's mind-blowing price increase from its first steps through March 12, 2024 - Source: TradingView 📍 The Volatile Phenomenon That Sparked a Change in Finance 📍 It did not take much for Bitcoin to be noticed as a wonder of technology and a catalyst for change. Once it landed for trading on its first cryptocurrency exchanges, Bitcoin quickly gained popularity purely from an investment perspective. The first traders would buy and sell the token in a matter of hours only to realize a small profit and savor the rush of adrenaline. This same speculative behavior could still be found today even after the stratospheric gains that have made Bitcoin a heavyweight in terms of valuation. The price gyrations have crushed many traders and investors who were found unprepared to stomach the aggressive swings. Along the way, Bitcoin has endured over 17 selloffs of more than 30%. It has been through six declines of more than 60%, and four of more than 80%. Still, after all these spectacular drops, Bitcoin has clawed back its losses and returned stronger than ever. So strong, it crushed all doom-and gloom forecasters and permabears when it blasted through the $73,000 threshold in March of 2024. Not long before that, Bitcoin had a chance to prove its worth as a safe haven in troubled times. 📍 A Place to Find Value in the Face of a Global Pandemic 📍 It’s important to mention that the current record high in the price of Bitcoin arrived after BTC’s previous peak of $69,000 in November 2021. Back then, the coronavirus crisis, which hit in March 2020, turned out to be a key period of growth for crypto. The original digital currency served as a safe haven and a store of value—digital gold, if you like, or better—amid lingering uncertainty in the broad financial markets. In numbers, during the pandemic’s low point in March 2020, one Bitcoin was worth about $3,900. Presently, a single Bitcoin is up more than 1,700% from its coronavirus-fueled meltdown. The pandemic helped shift investor focus on the crypto market as participants sought to find pent-up value. The search has led to millions of Bitcoin proponents flocking to the digital asset. In practice, the interest to invest in Bitcoin has been so big, the top cop on Wall Street—the Securities and Exchange Commission—finally gave its nod. 📍 Cryptocurrency Trading Lands on Wall Street 📍 The big dogs on Wall Street welcomed the first Bitcoin-centric products to trade alongside stocks , bonds , and forex . More specifically, there are now eleven exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offering spot Bitcoin, or the real deal, unlike Bitcoin futures, which don’t hold genuine BTC. The step is a monumental milestone in Bitcoin’s path toward mainstream adoption and acceptance in the financial markets. The eleven Bitcoin ETFs , approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, were greeted by investors with billions of dollars injected. Giant asset managers such as BlackRock and Fidelity are seeing overflowing demand for Bitcoin from both institutions and retail investors. The positive thing about these spot BTC ETFs is that they’re backed by the physical asset. Whenever inflows start to outpace liquidity, the asset manager needs to purchase new Bitcoin and add it to its reserves. The more the net inflow, the more it needs to buy BTC. And that drives prices higher. From inception in January to March 2024, BlackRock’s BTC ETF hit $10 billion—faster than any US ETF ever. 📍 What’s Coming Next for BTC Price as We Move Deeper into 2024? 📍 Looking ahead into 2024, there is no doubt that we are going to see new bouts of volatility. More than that, many are optimistic we will continue to see a string of fresh records in the price of Bitcoin. With this in mind, the risks will be there too. Both new and old, market participants need to know that price swings may be stomach-churning as the market adjusts to shifting moods in the rarefied air of $70,000. Buying at the top is scary. 📍 Bitcoin for Your Thoughts? 📍 How did you first get exposure to Bitcoin? When did you buy your first piece of the crypto and are you brave enough to buy again at the top?

Total Cryptocap’s log chart just hit the falling wedge targetIf we take the teal bull pennant and only measure the pennant part which is also a falling wedge, the target we get from the breakout has just been hit by our current price action. I felt that was worthy of posting a chart bout. Though bitcoin has already achieved a new all time high days ago, the entire market cap for all of crypto is still just below it’s previous all time high currently. I would expect that to change in the very near future, however there’s always a chance at a retracement once rice hits the full breakout target. Since we just hit the full breakout target of the teal falling wedge, then it could retrace, if it does it may take longer to reach a new all time high. ALso possible for it to pump just enough to reach a new all time high then start its retrcement, correction, or sideways consolidation. Either way we can see as I have stated in previous charts, that this falling wedge is also a very valid bullish pennant and the breakout target once you include the height of the pennants flagpole for your measured move line, Is a staggering 17.5 trillion or so…No guarantee we hit the full target this bull run, however the ay the bitcoin spot etf buying has kind of changed the paradigm of what’s possible there’s definitely a chance we could hit this full target for this current bull run. As I have stated in the past the dotted yellow measured move line to the left is a measured move target from a pennant we broke up from 2 bull cycles ago and it didnt hit its full target in that bull run. However since it is in a very close proximity to the price target of this teal pennant’s measured move breakout target as well, it creates a good bulllish confluence and we could see both targets hit this bull run. I would say worst case scenario we head to those targets by next bull run but very plausibly can reach them during this one. *not financial advice*

ORCL March 14, 24: Can the stock reach new ATH this time?On March 13, 24, NYSE:ORCL gap up after earnings on huge volume and is now trading at the area of the all-time high. The stock has traded around this area in the past 2 times, during June, 2023 and September, 2023. Interestingly, the peaks of June and September were also around the earnings date. The question now is can NYSE:ORCL reach new ATH this time? The trading idea is to buy the stock as it crosses up the high of March 13, 24 which is 130, and cut loss if it will go down below the resistance at 127. Another trading idea is similar to what I wrote for NYSE:DELL (see below in the related idea), which is wait for some days for a range to form and then trade that range. Based on the actual situation that will occur we can execute our plan accordingly.

11/03/24 Weekly outlookLast weeks high: $69934.6 Last weeks low: $64483.4 Midpoint: $59032.3 Bitcoin experiences its highest ever weekly close in history falling just shy of $70K . The previous ATH tested and bested multiple times during the previous week and broken yet again already this week hitting $72K ! The Market Cap has overtaken Silver to become the 8th largest asset by MCap . We are now in price discovery territory and ~38 days away from The Halving . Blackrock continues to buy and now closes in on MicroStrategy who has been accumulating since August 2020. MicroStrategy recently bought another 12,000BTC to stay in the lead but it looks like BlackRock will inevitably overtake them in holdings. BlackRock: 2 Months - 195,985 MicroStrategy: 42 Months - 205,000 Bitcoin has maintained its march onwards and Ethereum still lags behind. A close eye on ETH/BTC pair shows that on the 1W 200EMA is now flipped to support after breaking out of a multi-year channel since May '21 . ETH after broking $4K ~20% away from ATH. Altcoins along with Ethereum are still lagging as BTC dominance continues to rise, however it doesn't necessary mean BTC is a better investment, once BTC dominance looks to have topped, the Altseason will allow Altcoins to catch up. This week we continue to monitor the progress of the crypto market on the leadup to The Halving .

A purely speculative hypothetical cup & handle possibilityBitcoin just hit a new all time high against the USD pre halving! The bitcoin spot etfs have shifted the paradigm and we now find ourselves in unprecedented times. Considering that, for all I know the correction may have already seen the lowest it will go before we resume bull, but if history can tell us anything, it’s that it’s very common to see multiple 30-40% dips here and there during the bull market and this very well could be the beginning of one of those corrections. If so, a 40% dip could take price roughly back to the 40k one,, which would be a convenient zone for it to correct to as it would likely retest the weekly 50ma there as they would probably be both arriving at 40k around roughly the same time, that would be an excellent place for a bounce, of course should a black swan event occur sometime near there we could even see an unexpected flash crash wick even further below that maybe even 50-60% but the probability of something like that is much much smaller. If we were to correct the usual 30-40% or even let’s say we start having diminishing corrections and only correct 15-25%, in doing so, we will actually be simultaneously forming a handle to the text book picture perfect cup bitcoins price action just finished forming once it reached the new ath. Because of the possibility of such a hypothetical scenario currently being in. Play,I went ahead and drew a rough guesstimating of what I would expect the handle to look like should we form one here. Again, this is a completely arbitrary guesstimate, so if we do form one, it could be much smaller than the one I’ve randomly drawn here in red. Whether it takes shorter or longer for us to finish the handle if one does form, should not alter the potential breakout target that it would have by much, and as we can see if we broke out around the time the rough estimate one I have drawn ends the target should be well over 120k. Because of the zone where price action has recently gone and now been rejected from is so close to our previous ath zone, we also now on the bearish side of things have. Potential triple top in play. We went up in price at such. Fast and hyperparabolic rate that the argument for this being the bull markets blow off top is actually a possibility, a very slim, low probability possibility, but still a possibility none the less, in which case, the triple top argument is able to at least be a possibility. Which is perfect for the whales and market makers because that will sew just enough uncertainty in the market that when we do get to the bottom of the current correction you will probably have permabears coming out of hibernation to claim the bull market top is already in and we are going much lower. However, I personally don’t think the top is in because we never got the signal on the pi cycle top indicator. I plan on taking d vantage of any correction we get here by accumulating, laddering in small buys around 20%, 30% , and then slightly bigger buys at 40% if we get it. Also if we’re lucky enough to get some sort of 50-60% flash crash from a black swan I will ladder in even bigger buys then as well. If somehow we were to get a flash crash that went as deep as 80% - 90% at that point then I would have to consider that it was a bull market top, however that would then mean that the follow up bear market freeware’s would be extremely short lived and we’d be right back into the bull market. High has never happened before, but hey, with thee new bitcoin spot etfs approved a lot of unprecedented price action is suddenly possible. Again this whole cup n handle idea in the first place isnt set in stone yet and theres. Chance we’ve already had our full correction even. I think judging by the past in btc’s history, the most likely thing to occur here though would be a 30-41% correction. *not financial advice*

HelenP. I After BTC rose higher than last ATH, it can correctHi folks today I'm prepared for you Bitcoin analytics. If we look at the chart we can see how the price a not long time ago rebounded from the trend line and in a short time rose to support 2, which coincided with the support zone. Soon, BTC broke this level, made a retest, and then made impulse up to 64000 points, but later it turned around and fell below, after which price continued to move up to the next support level, which coincided with one more support zone. But when BTC reached this level, the price broke it and even rose higher than the support zone, and soon made a strong impulse down to support 2, breaking support 1 and the trend line too. After this movement, Bitcoin in a short time rose back to support 1, thereby breaking the trend line again and even soon broke support 1 too and continued to rise in the support zone. Also recently, the price rebounded from this zone and now BTC trades higher than last ATH, so, for my mind, Bitcoin will rise a little more, after which it can make a correction movement to the support zone. That's why I set my target at 67850 points. If you like my analytics you may support me with your like/comment ❤️

BTC new ATH and CorrectionHello everyone, let's take a look at the BTC to USDT chart on a one hour time frame. As you can see, the price dynamically moved lower from the local upward trend line. Let's start by determining the support and as you can see, the price is in the support zone from $62,971 to $61,218, and may continue to stay around $58,999. Looking the other way, you can see resistance at the level of $64,493, then the second one at $66,360, and then a very strong resistance zone from $67,691 to $69,349, where the price described the new ATH. Looking at the RSI indicator, you can see a local downward trend line, with room for a larger correction, while on the STOCH indicator we are approaching the lower limit but a possible downward movement is still visible.

Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High Price Above $69,000 😱😱😱😱😱Bitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ) today set a new all-time high price above $69,000, as investors and traders rush back into the cryptocurrency market. The digital asset surged to about $69,324.58, according to price data on Coinbase. That's a 4% 24-hour rise. Over the past 30 days, the asset has soared by more than 58%. Its previous all-time high of $69,044 was set on November 2021, over two years ago. Since the start of 2023, CRYPTOCAP:BTC is up by more than 300%. Prior to that, and following a brutal bear market, it was trading for less than $17,000 per coin. The most significant catalyst is the approval and successful launch of 10 spot Bitcoin ETFs. After a decade of denials from the SEC, the tide turned in June of last year when BlackRock—the world's largest asset manager—submitted its own application for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. The renewed interest from big investors and other major Wall Street firms that followed kickstarted a bullish Bitcoin rally, and the asset began to climb back up the price charts. By the end of the year, Bitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ) was trading comfortably above $42,000. When the Securities and Exchange Commission finally approved Bitcoin ETFs in January, the price of Bitcoin got a modest bump, but then dipped as crypto traders appeared to "sell the news" and took their profits. Since late January, however, the price of Bitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ) has skyrocketed as interest in ETF products increased and retail investors came back into the fold.

Bitcoin Analysis: Correction or Continuation?📈✅Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. It has been on a bullish trend since the beginning of the year. 🔍Bitcoin has broken out of the primary resistance at $30,750 and has started a new primary trend. The price is currently in a very important supply zone near the ATH and we can expect a correction or pullback. 🚀The ascending channel has been broken from above and the price is continuing its movement with a curved trendline. The target of the channel is between $85,000 and $90,000. 🛒If the price starts to correct from here, we can wait for confirmation of the price for buying in the ranges of $42,500 to $45,000 and $35,000 to $37,000.However, if the resistance at $69,000 is broken, we should wait for it to start correcting and enter the correction. 🗯The RSI oscillator is also in the overbought zone and is facing resistance at 88. It may come out of the overbought zone, however, if it can break its resistance, it can move up to 95, in which case the price is likely to hit the channel target. 📊In terms of volume, it has increased after breaking $30,750 and is confirming the trend. 💎If you have bought Bitcoin from the lower levels, I suggest you wait for it to react to the resistance and if it rejects and makes a heavy red candle, you can take profit. If the supply zone is also lost, you can still hold. 🧠💼 This is not financial advice, and it is only my personal opinion on this cryptocurrency. Please do your own research before making any investment decisions.

03/03/24 Weekly outlookLast weeks high: $64271.5 Last weeks low: $57579.4 Midpoint: $50887.4 BITCOIN ATH IS IN SIGHT! A crazy final week of February closing the monthly candle with a record single candle gain in the history of Bitcoin! A +52.8% gain in a single month ($22,134.20) . This price action has lead us to a situation that has never been seen before in this markets relatively short history... Never has BTC broken its previous ATH before The Halving , yet the we are currently -5% away from ATH with approximately 49 days to The Halving . With new institutional buyers involved in this cycle it is clear the schedule for what we have become used to has been sped up significantly and we can now expect for the ATH to be broken even before the mining reward gets cut in half! Another metric that can be used to gauge our progress in the cycle is general sentiment and retail interest . So far the news cycle is quiet about crypto and the standard retail investors that general give a top signal are nowhere to be seen currently. This is all very bullish for the space and indicated room to grow. For this week I will be planning how to preserve my capital and manage my greed accordingly. As it stands the FEAR AND GREED INDEX is 86 which should be taken into account. I do think once BTC breaks past its previous ATH the news will start to cover more stories about BITCOIN which could also bring retail investors to the table, maybe they forgot about their spot positions they bought at the peak of the last cycle and would look to cash out at break even and therefor increase selling pressure? That may not happen but planning for it helps in case it is a sell the news event. My general thoughts for this Bullrun remain the same a buy and hold strategy will outperform the day trader but -30% flushes are perfectly normal in these conditions so it's always important have some cash in reserve to add to narrative plays.
