Bitcoin Weekly (10/10/2022)
**Bitcoin Weekly - Edition 28** Bitcoin (BTC) produced its second green candle in a row, albeit a small candle once again but at least it was positive as the largest crypto finished a hair above $19,740. There was not much price volatility last week but that could change this week with some key inflation numbers coming out. Last week the United States saw job growth slower than expected as reported on Friday which pulled Bitcoin back below $20K. That was the biggest news driver and came just in time for the weekend. Then the BNB Chain had an exploit that drained an estimated $100B in crypto out of it which caused it to halt operations for awhile. In our fun fact of the week below, we go over just how hard Bitcoin mining has become in the wake of the Ethereum merge. From a technical analysis standpoint, we are at an interesting time indicating we will likely see a big move, one way or another. BTC is currently in a unique trading pattern where it is getting "squeezed" on rising volume but with low volatility. The low trading range with ever increasing volume has the Bitcoin historical volatility index (BVOL) at a 36, something it has only achieved two times in its history with the last time coming before the market low of 2018. With that said, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 44.76 which is in the neutral territory, with most other technical indicators in the "sell" category including all the moving averages. The Crypto fear and greed index, highlighted below, is at 22 and down two points from last week staying in the "extreme fear" range extending its record streak in that range. **Ten Must-Read Bitcoin Articles This Week** Five Examples Of Bitcoin’s Real-World Utility (Bitcoin Magazine) https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/five-examples-of-bitcoins-real-world-utility Bitcoiner claims to have found ‘long lost Satoshi Bitcoin code’ with personal notations (Cointelegraph) https://cointelegraph.com/news/net-bitcoin-atms-growth-drops-globally-for-the-first-time-ever Bitcoin Indicator That Historically Predicts Explosive Moves Just Started Flashing: Economist Alex Krüger (The Daily HODL) https://dailyhodl.com/2022/10/10/bitcoin-indicator-that-historically-predicts-explosive-moves-just-started-flashing-economist-alex-kruger/ Crypto traders shift their focus to altcoins while Bitcoin price consolidates (Cointelegraph) https://mishtalk.com/economics/dumping-euros-and-british-pounds-in-record-numbers-to-buy-bitcoin-whats-it-mean Bitcoin And Ethereum Were Potential Inflation Hedges, What Went Wrong?
