BTC "unlikely" to linger below $40,000

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dipping to $40,800 overnight, following an earlier unsuccessful attempt by sellers to flip $40,000 back to resistance.

With stubborn conditions keeping BTC price action in a narrow range, attention on Sunday focused on where the longer-term bottom might be. Analysts also stayed conspicuously bullish on what might come afterwards.

In a series of tweets reflecting on the broader state of Bitcoin, popular trader Pentoshi eyed $37,000 as a potential floor.

"This looks healthy on the HTF's and is likely forming a base over the previous HH on the way to ATH's and potentially a HL here at the Summer PoB," popular Twitter trader Pentoshi commented in a series of tweets reflecting on the broader state of Bitcoin.

"While I believe $BTC can briefly trade as low as 37k it is unlikely to be there long."

Pentoshi noted significant buyer bids in place in the area between $36,000 and $40,000. These, as Cointelegraph also reported, are rare in terms of size. 

"We can see bids have been stacked on exchanges at those levels with the intent to fill, but the sheer size of them is something I've never seen before across most exchanges," he wrote.

"The bottom is closer than you think, and the top is likely a number you can't comprehend at this time."

"Huobi Global will gradually retire existing Mainland China user accounts by 24:00 (UTC+8) on Dec 31, 2021, and ensure the safety of users' assets."

As Cointelegraph reported, despite the wide media coverage, nothing has changed in China's cryptocurrency stance, with its crypto ban in place and essentially unchanged since September 2017.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
