From the perception that the price of Bitcoin is unlikely to rise sustainably, to Coinbase introducing derivatives trading for users in the United States. Here are some highlights from the crypto market.
Bitcoin news
Bitcoin (BTC) may have risen to $ 44,000 based on US inflation data, but according to traders, there is little hope of a sustained rally.
During a Twitter discussion on Jan. 12, the data analyst Material Scientist said, alarm that the downtrend may still return.
While BTC / USD has shown strength since rallying at $ 39,600, it has yet to convince most analysts that its downtrend is over overall.
Following the release of US inflation data of 7%, many analysts became skeptical of the market’s bull run, even as spot prices briefly topped $ 44,000.
For Material Scientist, the problem lies in the order book. The buy orders have disappeared below the spot position and if the resistance level then increases, the bulls do not look good.

In late November, after Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $ 69,000, the phenomenon emerged and the market quickly collapsed below the $ 50,000 mark.
If this does not happen, a “slight rally” could continue. However, it is time people “paid more attention to market building,” added Material Scientist.
Retailers are the ones who help increase the price of Bitcoin
