Jay Hatfield, chief executive of Infrastructure Capital Advisors said: “Cryptocurrencies are likely to remain under pressure as the Fed reduces its liquidity injections.” He projects Bitcoin to end below $20,000 in 2022. However, the bearish projections are not shared by all analysts.
Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone said in a recent analysis that Bitcoin may find support closer to $30,000 and Ether near $2,000. From there, McGlone expects both coins to start a bull run, with Bitcoin heading to $100,000 and Ether to $5,000.
Former Legg Mason fund manager and billionaire Bill Miller revealed in a recent interview with WealthTrack that direct and indirect crypto investments make up about 50% of his personal portfolio.
We had mentioned in our previous analysis that Bitcoin’s failure to rebound off the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) was a bearish sign and could lead to further downside and that is what happened.
The BTC/GBP pair plunged below the strong support at £34,031.76 on January 4. This intensified the selling and pulled the pair to the strong support at £29,000. The long tail on the day’s candlestick shows that bulls are attempting to defend the level aggressively.
If buyers push the pair above £32,353.68, the pair could pick up momentum and rally to the breakdown level at £34,031.76 which is likely to act as a strong resistance. The moving averages are on the verge of forming a death cross and the relative strength index (RSI) is near the oversold zone, indicating that bears are in command.
If the price turns down from the overhead resistance, the pair could consolidate between £29,000 and £34,031.76 for a few more days. The next leg of the downtrend could begin on a break and close below £29,000. If that happens, the pair could plummet to £26,845 and then to £21,462.10.
This negative view will invalidate if the price breaks and sustains above the moving averages.
Lastly please check out the advancement’s happening in the cryptocurrency world.
Enjoy the issue!

ETHEREUM – ETH/GBP
We had warned that if Ether broke below £2,653.66, the selling momentum could pick up and the decline could reach £2,258.36 and that is how it played out.
The bulls are attempting to defend £2,200 which could start a rebound that is likely to face resistance at the 200-day SMA. The downsloping 50-day SMA and the RSI in the oversold territory indicate that the path of least resistance is to the downside. Read more

Cardano continued its gradual decline and slipped below the support line of the descending channel on January 5. The bulls pushed the price back into the channel on January 6 but could not sustain the level.
