Price Analysis 02/12: BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, LTC, EOS, BNB, BSV, XLM, TRX [cointelegraph.com]
Bitcoin price continues to trade with an advantage to bears but this does not mean investors or miners have capitulated. About 64% of the total Bitcoin mined to date has been dormant in wallets since 2018. This shows that Bitcoin hodlers do not believe in trading for short-term gains, as they anticipate much higher prices in the future. While this might be a feasible strategy for the whales, retail traders can rake up profits if they buy during periods of deep distress and sell their positions during times of euphoria.

Bitcoin Continues Gradual Slide as $8000 Becomes Formidable Resistance [coinidol.com]
Bitcoin may continue to move southward but a bullish breakout is expected at the end of the price pattern. We expect the market to reach the lower lows and consolidate before the bullish breakout.

Bakkt has also announced that it is working on a Bakkt Pay app that will let users make purchases from several merchants, using Bitcoin and other assets.

The 3 charts that turned institutional investors into Bitcoin bulls [micky.com.au]
Researchers from algorithmic trading software company Strix Leviathan analyzed the history of 32 halving events and concluded the widely believed halving price spike narrative is “a myth”.
Bitcoin’s recent bearish price action doesn’t seem in keeping with the forecasts (though Plan B disagrees) and Litecoin has crashed in price and hash rate since its halving this year.
Willy Woo also isn’t a big believer. A couple of weeks ago he tweeted he was short term bearish. “Don’t expect price to repeat past halvings”.

IS A BLOCKCHAIN BASED FUTURE IN CHINA REALLY A GOOD THING? [bitcoinist.com]
China already enforces draconian capital controls which strictly limit the amount of money people can take out of the country. A digital currency will be even easier for the central bank to control and manipulate.
The crypto yuan is just the beginning. If China presses ahead with its ambitions, blockchain will be an integral part of the entire nation from artificial intelligence to finance monitoring to facial recognition. Big brother has just got a new toy and freedom has just moved further from grasp.
