Investors risk appetite went on safe-haven cryptocurrency such as USDT and QC due to market uncertainty caused by a senior India government official that reportedly stated that the country will be proposing a stringent law banning the use of crypto even as a holding asset.

From Sources, the bill, if passed, can be one of the world’s strictest actions against crypto and would not only criminalize possession, issuance, mining, trading, and transfer of crypto but also leave a big dent in the crypto market in Asia.

Panic and fear of the unknown grew on the crypto market as many traders liquidated their holdings and long position in bitcoin and altcoins. This resulted to large dump of the crypto market after crypto market capitalization hit all-time high of 1.83 trillion. The market capitalization fell to a low of $1.619 trillion.

BTC

Yesterday, BTC opened the trading at $58,764.82. BTC spiked to an early morning high of $60,526.97.

BTC 4-hour chart

For the day ahead, BTC is on confined consolidation zone with range bound of $57,846.39 as resistance and $55,078.05 which acts as support. A breakout of this zone above the resistance and EMA crosses could recover yesterday’s losses.

But key level to watch for confirmation of resumption of the uptrend will be for the bulls to break above all time of high of $61548.86.

But on the contrary, if there are spread of crypto market FUD, there could be a potential sell-off but key level to watch will be $55078.05. If this price level is broken, BTC will dip to a low of 51710.43 in the day ahead.

The EMA crosses acted as a dynamic resistance for the price after the bulls made an attempt to thrust DOT price above the middle band of the Bollinger.

DOT 4-hour chart

Technically, based on the price action holistic view on the 4-hour chart, we could see lots of rejections to the downside by the bulls for DOT price. This is a sign of the bulls gaining volume and also retails traders buyer’s pressure increased.

Although the MACD is below the signal line while the histogram increased in the negative direction. If the bears fail to break the horizontal support of $33.7915 and dip DOT price to a low of $30.0874.

The bulls will take absolute control of the market, DOT price could rebounced from the support to retest $36.4756. This price level will be a key level to watch out for buy opportunity if the bulls succeed to thrust price above it in the day ahead.

FIL
