Shiba Inu Continues To Struggle As Price Declines 17% In Past Week

Memecon Shiba Inu has continued to struggle this week as the crypto has lost 17% in value over the past seven days. Shiba Inu Continues To Decline As Whales Start Taking Profits DOGE’s cousin coin, SHIB, has been struggling this month as it tumbles down for a straight third week. Over the past seven days alone, the memecoin has lost more than 17% in value. In the month of October, Shiba Inu had an amazing rally even by crypto standards where at one point the crypto was up 1000% over the previous 30 days. During this rally, SHIB entered into the top ten crypto by market cap list for a while. And briefly, it even surpassed DOGE to claim the 8th spot on the list. However, since November began, the coin started to lose ground, and has since continued to decline. It wasn’t long until Shiba Inu fell below Dogecoin again, and soon after it also exited the top ten list entirely. Currently, SHIB is the number twelve crypto in terms of market cap. Here is a table that shows how it compares with DOGE: The gap between the two memecoins widens | Source: coinmarketcap DOGE has also seen loses recently, but they have been lesser than what SHIB has experienced. In terms of market cap, Dogecoin seems to be building a significant lead over Shiba Inu.

As per an article by Coindesk, SHIB transactions with values above $100k have been increasing since the beginning of the month.

Recently, AMC announced that they are partnering with Bitpay to bring the Shiba Inu payment option to their customers. Such news can be bullish for the coin. SHIB Price At the time of writing, Shiba Inu’s price is trading around $0.00004015. Over the past thirty days, the crypto has gained 4% in value.

Bitcoin Thanksgiving Day Data Reveals Peak Possible Within 30 Days

Today across the United States, the masses are celebrating the annual Thanksgiving holiday tradition. In the past, the holiday has acted as a catalyst for the final phase of the Bitcoin bull run.  To celebrate the holiday and the ongoing cryptocurrency bull cycle, we are looking back at the history of Bitcoin price action over the years to try to predict what is to come next.  Please Pass The Bitcoin The tradition of Thanksgiving began in 1619, which celebrated the annual harvest ahead of colder winter months. Rather than allow crops to spoil, there was a large feast that sometimes lasted days.  The tradition today is commonly centered around a turkey dinner, with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and pumpkin pie. Dinner table discussions range from tender to tense, depending on the family unit.  Related Reading | 10 Bullish Monthly Bitcoin Price Charts To Start November Such dinner table conversations in the past have possibly had an impact on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, with the holiday always occurring near important culmination points in price cycles.  To celebrate in a very NewsBTC way, we’ve taken a deep dive into the history of holiday and the effect it’s had on price action. The results are quite interesting, and something BTC holders might want to give thanks for.  Past tops and bottoms have been within 48 days of Thanksgiving  | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com Thanksgiving Proximity To Peaks Give Holders Something To Celebrate  Dating back as far as the Bitcoin price index will run, we’ve added a pumpkin-colored vertical line to represent each Thanksgiving to the day.  The proximity of Thanksgiving to important pivot points in Bitcoin market structure is undeniable. The holiday appears close to most major bull market peaks and bear troughs.  In fact, five out of five major Bitcoin tops and bottoms have appeared within 48 days of Thanksgiving. Four out of five of these same tops and bottoms have occurred within 24 days of Thanksgiving. Finally, two out of five tops and bottoms appear to coincide with the holiday itself.  Related Reading | Want To Learn Technical Analysis? Read The NewsBTC Trading Course In 2017, Thanksgiving dinner table talk was less focused on “pass the gravy” and instead discussed “which coins to buy.” 24 days following Thanksgiving that year, Bitcoin rallied 150% from $8,000 to $20,000, putting in the bull market peak. The following Thanksgiving was within just 24 days to the bear market bottom. 24 days from today and 150% would put the top cryptocurrency by market cap at around $144,000 on approximately December 19, 2021. Currently, there is more data to suggest that this could happen again than information to suggest otherwise. Is this the type of harvest crypto holders should expect with the US holiday here? If that’s the case, the Thanksgiving theme is appropriate, as it will be the last major harvest before a very cold crypto winter.  Follow @TonySpilotroBTC on Twitter or join the TonyTradesBTC Telegram for exclusive daily market insights and technical analysis education.

Bitcoin Thanksgiving Gift, Why BTC Heads For Fresh Rally

Bitcoin has been trading on the green side this Thanksgiving morning with a 4.1% profit in the 24-hour chart. Approaching a critical resistance level, BTC’s price stands at $59,042 and could see more appreciation in the short if it manages to flip $60,000 to support. Bitcoin has been rangebound for the past week with low volatility for the most part as the price was rejected close to $60,000 on Monday. According to QCP Capital, an institutional investor is most likely responsible for the price action and suppression of any serious momentum on BTC’s price rally attempts. Related Reading | TA: Bitcoin Breaking This Confluence Resistance Could Spark Recovery This institutional investor has been increasing selling pressure when Bitcoin attempts to reclaim previous highs, the firm noted. QCP Capital suspects this player or players could be pushing BTC’s price down to place bearish put options on Bitcoin and Ethereum. In that sense, the general sentiment in the market has taken a dive as NewsBTC reported. Most operators have gone into fear mode but could enter extreme fear if the selling pressure causes Bitcoin to break further down. QCP Capital added: We are betting that the market will consolidate instead of breaking lower. So we are taking the opportunity to short vols in BTC and ETH as well as take profit on our downside risk reversal position and flip to a topside skew. As of press time, Bitcoin’s current rally into $60,000 seems fairly strong with support in the $55,000 to $58,500 area. According to the In/Out of the Money Around Price metric, over 3 million addresses bought 2 million BTC on these levels. #Bitcoin on stable support! 💪@intotheblock's IOMAP shows that more than 3.41M addresses acquired nearly 2M $BTC between $55,000 and $58,500. Such a massive demand barrier is more significant than the few supply walls ahead, so #BTC downside potential appears to be capped. pic.twitter.com/uwQOpprsAA — Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) November 25, 2021 A Great Capitulation Before A New Bitcoin Rally? Jarvis Labs’ analyst Ben Lilly recently tried to answer the question that seems to be in every trader and investors’ mouth: has the Bitcoin bull-run ended? As seen below, BTC’s price bullish momentum is valid as long as it stays above $43,000. In support of the bullish thesis, Jarvis Labs records heavy institutional demand for Bitcoin. Historically when BTC sees these levels of an accumulation from large investors, future price action experiences a strong push to the upside. Conversely, when BTC sees low demand from whales, it suggests a cycle has been reached. Ben Lilly added on the whale accumulation pattern for the past week: (…) whales are starting to step in. And this change will likely be reflected on the 30-day chart in a couple weeks. However, Jarvis Labs has been warning about the behavior in the Bitcoin derivatives sector during November. Funding rates across this sector have stayed highly positive and although they have decreased with the recent trend to the downside, they still suggest the market is overheated. Related Reading | TA: Bitcoin Continues To Struggle, Why BTC Could Dive Below $55K Therefore, another retest of the lows and a full market reset seems to still be in the cards. This could be the final sacrifice for Bitcoin to reach a new all-time high in 2021.

Scam or gem!

The website in question is called Housecoin.net and offers DeFi on BTC, ETH, USDT and other coin. The returns are above 200% APY and over based on locked staking and minimum amounts. First thing that is off is the high returns compared to other more well-known defi protocols. Second the website is clunky and sketchy.…
