Crypto Week #34 Overview [coin360.com]
Bitcoin didn’t manage to recover from last week’s losing streak and closed the week with losses, as did the rest of the top 5 cryptocurrencies. Most of them reached their highest prices of the week on Monday, and by Wednesday they had all experienced their lowest prices, with the exception of Bitcoin, which bottomed out for the week on Thursday. Other important developments include the announcement of Binance’s new stablecoin project Venus, possible shake-ups in the Libra Association, and reports of Bitcoin having a market dominance of over 90%.
Here’s what you need to know about last week’s happenings in crypto.
MACD “Bear Cross” Implies Bitcoin to Resume $20,000 Run [newsbtc.com]
Last week, this outlet covered the MACD “bear cross” extensively. The trend indicator, which some suggest can predict market momentum, flipped red last week, leading some to fear that Bitcoin could get dragged down to $6,000 to $10,000.
Murad Mahmudov, a founding partner at Adaptive Capital, suggested that these fears are entirely irrational.
In fact, in the tweet below, the former Goldman Sachs analyst suggested that it is irrational for people to see the “‘bear cross’ like it’s some kind of a doom verdict”.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: $10,000 Sees Bulls Accumulating [thebitcoinnews.com]
On the 1 hour chart for XBT/USD, we can see the asymmetrical triangle highlighted after the breakdown from the rising wedge as mentioned in my previous analysis on Bitcoin. An attempted breakout to the upside took around 24 hours before writing this analysis but was quickly met with large selling pressure. Since then, a clear spike to the upside propelling Bitcoin up to $10,800 took place. Price action now trades sideways resting on the 200 EMA and looks poised for a drop back to POC (Point of Control) at $10,111.

Telegram Button Wallet Is Open and Ready for Testing [livebitcoinnews.com]
What’s interesting is that Telegram has been heavily involved in cryptocurrency in the past by bringing its own digital asset to the table. Known as the “gram,” the currency was launched in 2018 based on a multi-blockchain proof-of-stake system designed to host a wide array of decentralized apps. The coin experienced gains of approximately 201 percent before its public sale even took place.
Volume Starting to Move, As Bitcoin Still Struggles to Leave $10k – Price Analysis [cryptoglobe.com]
It looks like Bitcoin (BTC) is beginning to move, after struggling to stay within a consolidation pattern. BTC may soon break up to the top of the pattern, which would keep it out of the danger zone for a little longer – but this is not yet confirmed and heavy selling has dampened the push.

Internal Revenue Service Sends New Round of Letters to Crypto Holders [cryptopost.com]
Last week, the United States Internal Revenue Service sent another round of letters to crypto traders called CP2000. These notices were sent to traders of some crypto exchanges due to inconsistencies found in their tax reports.
Using the information provided by third-party systems — such as crypto exchanges and payment systems — the IRS has been able to determine the amounts traders owe and included the amounts in dollars in the notices. Individuals who have received these notices are required to pay within 30 days, starting on the delivery date indicated in the letter.

Calculated from multiplying the price each bitcoin last traded by the size of each trade, the figure for Bitcoin passed $100 billion on Sunday.
