Bitcoin News Roundup for April 6, 2020 [Updated Apr 6, 2020 at 16:00 UTC] [coindesk.com]
Bitcoin Price Rallies Higher but Must Hit $8K to Start a Bull Market [cointelegraph.com]
Bitcoin (BTC) closed the week up 15.4% at $6,775 and has started the day with a further 6% move to the upside, breaching the $7,000 handle and making highs at $7,300.
Looking at performance relative to its peers, Ether (ETH) and EOS have posted an impressive 16% gain over the last 24 hours. As a result, Bitcoin dominance is down 1.5% at 65%.
Bitcoin’s ROI over the past 25 days is now 100%. Wow. But don’t get too excited.
We might see some retracement here, and maybe a retest of the breakout zone at $7200. However, the bulls might take advantage of the momentum, and thrive Bitcoin to where it all started from before the severe plunge of March 12.
We must mention the positive correlation with the global markets. Even Gold had enjoyed that correlation today, following today’s S&P 500 and NASDAQ surge of over 7%. Bitcoin will likely act according to the Wall Street futures.
Bitcoin has climbed back above $7K for the second time this month. While the first time, Bitcoin was unable to set a higher high, allowing for support above $7,000, this time it looks set to do just that. Since breaking above $7K, Bitcoin has continued upwards to reach the $7,200 resistance. If a correction does not come soon, the bulls are set to look for a higher resistance in around $7,500.

Following the crypto bloodbath in the second week of March, when expectations of further price decline hit the institutions, they abandoned the Bitcoin ship and resorted to “piling into cash or at least crypto-cash equivalents.” This was evident with the outflows of Bitcoin from exchanges which coincided with the skyrocketing figures for stablecoin trading amidst the market chaos.

Binance moves into Bitcoin mining [coingeek.com]
Earlier this week, Coinlife broke the news that China-based bucket shop Binance was preparing a launch into the Bitcoin mining pool sector. This news comes at a curious time with less than eight weeks before Bitcoin’s third halving event. After the halving occurs, many digital currency experts expect the transaction processing industry, aka mining, to undergo a contraction once the production price of block mining on the BTC network becomes economically untenable.
Trustless Bitcoin-Ethereum Swap: Vitalik’s Vision Becomes a Reality [coingape.com]
In less than a fortnight, developers at Suma have come up with an open-source ‘cross-chain swap system.’ Summa offers private, self-enforcing, and self-settling cross-chain contracts which are trustless and non-custodial.
They use the bcoin full-node implementation built with JavaScript/C/C++/Node.js which helps in the trustless integration with Bitcoin. The Summa relay (currently available only for solidity) provides the link with Ethereum in the swap system.

What’s Next For Bitcoin Price After It Just Reclaimed $7,300? [newsbtc.com]
Somehow, someway, the price of Bitcoin has continued to show resilience after March 12’s capitulation event, decisively retaking $7,300 just minutes ago after trying an failing to surmount this level multiple times over the past few days.

Bitcoin Hashrate Increases 1/3 in 2 Days — Will BTC Price Follow? [cryptopost.com]
Bitcoin hashrate has exploded from 91,290,582 TH/s on April 4 to 121,029,181 TH/s on April 6. Historically, Bitcoin hashrate and price have exhibited a very close relationship, with a 0.77 correlation.
This relationship makes sense considering that the hashrate represents, on the one hand, the production cost of Bitcoin for the miners and, on the other hand, the overall security of the Bitcoin network. In other words, the higher the total hashrate, the more expensive it will be for an adversary to take over the network. This decentralized trust is one of key values that Bitcoin possesses.
