? Did You Zoom Out? 

BTC/USD

Macro Structure: Week started off extremely bullish with a big pump. Koroush AK was quick to share Technical Analysis on Twitter. Stating the importance of the $45k level in a tweet here.

Key Resistance: As predicted, the price rose and went straight into $45k resistance. Many people were prematurely bullish. Likely over excited by the one big green candle.

Key Support: Key support at the $40k psychological level. Very bearish below this level. At the moment, as we are above $40k, we find ourselves in a brief bearish-neutral period. The neutral component also captures the recent green candle and the fact that the very short term trend is bullish.

Looking Forward: In times like this, it’s extremely important to zoom out and look at the total market structure. One big candle is not enough in isolation to invalidate an entire macro structure. Particularly, weeks or months of a downtrend. Coupled with the 100 Day Moving Average, the $45k is a fierce resistance level we ought to be cautious about.

⚖️ The Crackdown on Crypto

According to IRS Official, Carolyn Schenk, crypto exchanges should expect more ‘John Doe’ records requests. The IRS is looking for everyone, from those who may have misrepresented their crypto-related tax obligations, to those who may be referred for criminal prosecution.

  • In the US, 3 people were sentenced to prison due to their involvement in an unlicensed crypto exchange. Not only did associates of ‘The Geek Group’ trade bitcoin and launder money, but the owner, Christopher Alan Boden of Michigan, is alleged to have solicited an undercover agent to collect an unpaid $500,000 bitcoin debt by using violence if necessary.
  • The Finance Conduct Authority, which is the top financial watchdog in the UK, announced that 50 UK crypto firms are being actively investigated. More than 300 cases related to unregistered crypto asset firms were opened, but many may turn out to be scams.
  • (Not to be left out) the SEC announced they were investigating both NFT creators & crypto exchanges for possible violations of the securities law. Fractionalized NFTs have not evaded the watchful eye of the SEC either.

With so many regulatory bodies focusing their efforts on crypto, more regulations are bound to be around the corner. Luckily the last year has proven that there are a growing number of crypto enthusiasts in Washington as well.
