Analyst Discusses Bitcoin Price Path To Heighten Fear Factor

MilkyBull, a well-known personality in the world of cryptocurrency analysis, has drawn attention lately for his analysis of Bitcoin’s price trajectory and his prediction of a situation that might cause more fear in the market. MilkyBull’s analysis delves into the subtleties of Bitcoin’s movement, identifying patterns and trends that could have a big impact on investor mood.  Bitcoin Triggering Anxiety In The Market According to the analyst, the market will get even more fearful of the Bitcoin price path before it bottoms out and continues to rise. The analyst claimed that because of the current price of BTC, Blackrock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw its first-ever outflows since the approval of the Bitcoin Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).

With this notion, investors could position themselves for the next trajectory BTC takes. To further explore his narrative, MilkyBull drew attention to a previous analysis regarding Bitcoin’s final local bottom in this cycle. Given that BTC is following the PA (Price Action) of 2017, MilkyBull believes that the crypto asset might have bottomed out or come close to it. Historically, the bull market support band strongly sustains the Bitcoin market in bull cycles. As a result, the analyst is confident that Bitcoin’s price may wick through the support and recover. Another aspect highlighted by the expert is the Global liquidity during past bull cycles. Presently, Global liquidity is closely linked to Bitcoin at a level where it recovered in October 2022 and October 2023, which led to the inception of a massive surge in the digital assets markets, sparking a massive surge in the whole cryptocurrency market.  With the macro volatility on Tuesday, MilkyBull stated that Bitcoin is at a pivotal juncture for the last local bottom before it resumes its rise to the cycle peak. Though the market does not always respond to such expectations, the majority of members in the crypto space are requesting a correction to $48,000. BTC Poised For A Breakout On The Upside Another crypto analyst Captain Faibik has also spotted the largest cryptocurrency asset undergoing a price recovery lately. According to the expert, although BTC is currently seeing a rebound, it is still moving inside the falling wedge formation.

Should BTC break out from this formation successfully, Captain Faibik anticipates a notable move on the upside toward $78,000. Given that BTC is already trading above $61,000, all eyes are now set on the $78,000 price level. At the time of writing, BTC was situated at $61,701, indicating a rise of over 5% in the past day. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that its market cap has increased by 5%, while the trading volume is down by 21%. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

He told market participants to consider the second scenario, when BTC dominance will reach 67% and ETH will retest the low. Whales are actively accumulating ahead of a potential price surge. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that nearly 1 million ETH have been withdrawn from exchanges in the past month.  ETH Has Broken Out Of The 3-Year Downtrend In an X post, crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto revealed that Ethereum has broken out of the 3-year downtrend. He added that from now on, ETH will outperform BTC till the cycle peak. His accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could rally to $9,000 before the end of this market cycle.  Related Reading: Ethereum Surge Above $2,200 Says Bear Market Is Over, Analyst Calls $5,791 Easy Target In another post, he reiterated this target while outlining between $8,000 and $10,000 as his targets for Ethereum in this cycle.

Analyst Who Called XRP Price Surge At $0.5 Says Surge To This Level Is Coming

Crypto analyst Crypto Michael, who called the XRP price surge when it was trading at $0.5, has predicted the altcoin’s next move. Based on his prediction, XRP is set to sustain its current bullish momentum and possibly rally to a new all-time high (ATH) soon with a breakout above $3.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Surge Above $3 In an X post, Michael predicted a second parabolic rally once the XRP price breaks the psychological $3. The analyst made this prediction while revealing that he had called this current XRP rally while the altcoin was still trading at $0.5. Indeed, last year, he stated that a historic breakout was incoming for the altcoin.  Related Reading: XRP Price Outperforms Bitcoin, Ethereum As Strange Signal Emerges, Why The Target Is $4 Back then, he highlighted a unique 7-year-long bull pennant that had formed for the XRP price. Based on that bullish pattern, the analyst remarked that market participants might be about to witness one of the most significant breakouts in crypto history. XRP eventually broke out and became the second-best-performing asset among the top 10 cryptos by market cap in 2024.  Crypto analyst CasiTrade recently stated that the XRP price could witness an explosive move above $3 if it breaks and holds above $2.69. This means the projected parabolic rally for XRP above the $3 mark could happen soon. This rally could send the altcoin above its current ATH of around $3.84.  Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also suggested that the XRP price will unlikely encounter any major resistance as it targets a run to a new ATH. In an X post, he cited Glassnode data as he revealed that XRP has no major resistance clusters ahead. Meanwhile, the analyst noted that the key support zone is $2.38.  A Rally To Double Digits In This Cycle?

His accompanying chart showed that he expects the altcoin to rally to as high as $30 by year-end or the start of next year.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Rally To $6: Partially Completed Wave 5 Says Theres Still Room To Run Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto also recently alluded to a previous analysis in which he predicted that the XRP price would reach $28 by year-end 2025.

Blue Chip NFTs 101: Cool Cats Lands On Its Feet And Does It In Style

Do the Cool Cats still have Blue Chip status? The collection fell on hard times lately, but so has any other NFT project out there. We’re in a bear market, after all. A Hollywood agency manages the Cool Cats project, they had the coolest exhibit in NFT NYC, and collaborated with TIME magazine in a weird NFT drop. Still, the collection’s floor price is down to levels not seen since the project’s conception. Related Reading: Blue Chip NFTs 101 – What’s The Secret Behind CloneX? Built For The Metaverse The Cool Cats started spreading good vibes in July 2021. It’s a PFP collection consisting of 9.999 unique cats assembled from various traits that formed 300K possibilities total. The ecosystem expanded in two major ways lately. They launched their secondary collection, the Cool Pets, and their own token, $MILK. The new coin is the blood of the gamified experience that the collection’s creators have been releasing. pic.twitter.com/GcpXtb5Vt8 — Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) July 9, 2021 Speaking about those, the core team are: the smart contract programmer Tom Williamson, web developer Rob Mehew, creative director Evan Luza, and illustrator Colin Egan AKA The Cartoonist. The unofficial fifth member of the band is Mike Tyson. The eternal heavyweight champion changed his Twitter profile picture to a Cool Cats and that propelled the collection when it needed it the most.  The Relationship Between Cool Cats And CAA The Cool Cats went Hollywood on March 2021. In a move unprecedented at the time, the creators signed with leading talent agency CAA. In a press release from the time, the partners explained the deal in detail: “Leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) has signed Cool Cats, producers of the widely known Cool Cats and Cool Pets NFT collections. In collaboration with the gamified NFT company, the agency will identify and create opportunities for Cool Cats characters across an array of areas, including licensing and merchandising, animated content, brand partnerships, live events, publishing, and more.” So, there’s serious money and interests behind the cats. Why are they fading away into the background, then? Is it just an effect of the bear market?  BTC price chart on Bitbay | Source: BTC/USD on TradingView.com Cool Cats ’ got utility First of all, Cool Cats holders get their NFT’s property rights. That means, they can produce commercial projects with their NFT’s images. Cool Cat owners also get access to the project’s Discord server, and priority for all of the exclusive Cool Cats events and mints. Holders can stack their  NFTs and get yield in $MILK. Another benefit is access to Cooltopia, a project they define as “a gamified ecosystem built on interactivity and utility, community rewards and growth, collaboration with brands, and much more.” Another self-definition has Cooltopia as a “place where having a Cool Cats NFT grants you evolving access to games, tokens, community events, collaborations, and more.”  Plus, there’s the Cool Pets side project. A reward to NFT holders and a way for newcomers to enter the ecosystem at a lower price point. The Cool Pets collection has 19,999 units. Every holder got a pet for free. The general public bought the other half. The Cool Pets first come as an egg image, that hatches and reveals the final NFT. The pets are divided into four elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Grass. The $MILK token The $MILK is an ERC20 token on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. It’s the oil that greases Cooltopia’s gamified economy. According to the documentation: “$MILK is the key to all sorts of functionality and fun in the Cool Cats ecosystem, from buying Battle or Housing chests to going on quests.”  “$MILK is also how you’ll enhance and evolve your Cool Pets.” This one describes the NFTs staking-like mechanism: “Your Cool Cat is earning $MILK just by being cool (the $MILK claiming clock begins as soon as the contract is deployed), and that $MILK will accumulate over time.” Controversy And Suspicion There’s something strange going on with this project. Recently, the newly-appointed CEO stepped down after just three months. There was never a credible explanation. The collection just tweeted, “Chris Hassett has stepped down as CEO. We thank him and wish him the best moving forward.” Is there something rotten in the Cool Cats headquarters?  Related Reading: Blue Chip NFTs 101: The World Of Women Collection, Including And Conquering And then there’s the price. At its height, in October 2021, the Cool Cats floor price was around 26 ETH. Almost a year later, the floor Cool Cats are trading for 2.9 ETH. That’s not all, the Cool Pets’ floor price is  0.18 ETH. Are those Blue Chip numbers? Even though we’re basically in the middle of a crypto winter, the collection seems to be falling off a cliff…  Will the Cool Cats land on their feet?

Cardano-Native MuesliSwap To Refund Users After “Slippage” Misunderstanding

MuesliSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Cardano network, has announced its decision to reimburse its users that have been affected by high slippage over the past year. This is in response to the recent questions faced by the protocol on its slippage feature. Slippage refers to the price difference between when a transaction order is submitted and when the transaction is executed by the market maker and confirmed on the blockchain. MuesliSwap Acknowledges Lack Of “Adequate Clarity”  In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the team behind MuesliSwap admitted that it failed to provide “adequate clarity” on the slippage feature within its decentralized exchange. Users have had to pay high slippage due to the manner in which the protocol’s matchmaker was designed.  Related Reading: Is Curve DAO (CRV) Price On Track To Reach Or Exceed $1 This Month? The MuesliSwap team explained in the post: Our decentralized matchmaker setup allowed each matchmaker to fill the limit order and choose whether to return the additional slippage amount or retain the difference at their discretion. MuesliSwap claims this difference has served as an incentive for the matchmakers since the beginning. To further clarify, the protocol’s team said this “supplementary matchmaker incentive” pushes the decentralized matchmaker to prioritize users’ orders during periods of high market volatility. However, it acknowledged that pushing this under the unclear term “slippage” may have confused new users. ?? Clarifying Slippage on MuesliSwap: We want to address confusion about advanced matchmaker slippage on our platform. Quick heads-up: This impacts only a handful of users so please be careful about what others state on Twitter. ?? 1?? Trades through the MuesliSwap DEX aggregator… pic.twitter.com/SBpBZUWxnb — MuesliSwap Team?? (@MuesliSwapTeam) August 8, 2023 In a bid to rectify the situation, the MuesliSwap team disclosed that it would be refunding users who were affected by the high slippage on the protocol’s pools in the last 12 months. The team claims that the funds for users’ reimbursement will come from the “project funds”. Additionally, MuesliSwap said that a comprehensive analysis of all trades will be carried out to ensure fair refunds. “This process may take approximately 3 to 4 weeks as we gather and validate the necessary data, and implement the distribution code,” the team noted. MuesliSwap To Remedy The Situation? At the end of the post, MuesliSwap stated that swift action has been taken to fix the high slippage issue in the DEX order book.  Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Price Prediction: 28% Upswing Or 23% Drop Coming Next? The team also said: Going forward, our DEX protocol will provide clear and accurate information on slippage when interacting with our pools. MuesliSwap is the fifth-largest protocol on the Cardano network, with a total value locked (TVL) of $10.41 million, according to data from DefiLlama.
