Latest Bitcoin price and analysis (BTC to USD)
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at around $8,610 following a 3% increase in price over the last 24 hours. Even though BTC seemed to be struggling last week, the world's largest cryptocurrency recovered nicely over the weekend. Bitcoin momentarily traded close to $8,300 at the start of the weekend after price dropped 4% from Thursday to Saturday. Since then, Bitcoin has rebounded to the upside, which reiterates the bullish sentiment surrounding the digital asset ahead of this summer’s halving event. Bitcoin now seems to be consolidating above $8,600 and getting ready for another shot at the $8,830 level of resistance. Let's take a look at Bitcoin's chart, courtesy of TradingView.

Bitcoin bounces off key moving average to trigger bullish momentum
Bitcoin surged by 5% over the weekend following a bounce from the daily 200 exponential moving average (EMA). The 200 EMA has been a historic point of support and resistance throughout Bitcoin's 11-year history and was a key obstacle during the 2018 bear market. While Bitcoin continues to trade above the moving average, it remains in a bullish posture moving into the rest of the week, with upside price targets emerging at $8,830 and $9,050. However, as previously noted in Coin Rivet's analysis, Bitcoin needs to close daily candles above the $9,000 level as this would provide a platform for continuation towards the psychological level of $10,000. A rally to $10,000 would tie in with the upcoming Bitcoin halving event,The post Bitcoin bounces off key moving average to trigger bullish momentum appeared first on Coin Rivet.

Tokyo Bitcoin theft duo arrested by police
Two men, both in their twenties, have been arrested by Tokyo police on computer fraud charges related to the theft of $700,000 (78 million yen) worth of Bitcoin. According to the Japan Times, Yuto Onitsuka and his accomplice Takuma Sasaki have been charged with siphoning-off funds from a Tokyo-based crypto management firm that Onitsuka previously worked for. Sasaki allegedly used Onitsuka’s credentials to access the company's Bitcoin wallets and transferred the BTC to his own accounts. In total, just over $700,000 worth of Bitcoin was stolen, with some of the money being transferred to Sasaki’s bank directly - which he then reportedly spent on travel and other personal items. Allegedly, the two suspects had never met in person and hadThe post Tokyo Bitcoin theft duo arrested by police appeared first on Coin Rivet.

Bitfinex trader profits $7 million as Bitcoin begins bearish descent
Bitfinex trader JOE007 has gained a staggering $6.95 million in unrealised profit by trading Bitcoin this week, according to the exchange's leaderboard. In December, Coin Rivet reported on the same trader's woeful loss of $26 million as he found himself caught in a long position during Bitcoin's decline to $6,800. However, as Bitcoin began to claw its way back up after the turn of the year, his profit and loss flipped into the positive. Bitcoin is now more than 10% down in the past five days, indicating that JOE007 has been holding a short position during the decline.

The Bitcoin futures market is growing with more solutions on the way
A futures contract is a technique used to hedge positions and reduce the risk of the unknown. In the case of Bitcoin, futures are mostly associated with speculators who wish to use traditional, regulated financial services to bet on the price of Bitcoin. Essentially, Bitcoin futures allow for traditional investors to enter the Bitcoin space and participate in the markets without having to go through all the steps needed to buy actual Bitcoin. As Andreas Antonopolous explains in this interview with Ivan on Tech, the more developed a market is, the more options will appear to bet on the price of said market. In this article, I will take a look at how the Bitcoin futures market has been developing.The post The Bitcoin futures market is growing with more solutions on the way appeared first on Coin Rivet.

Bitcoin flips bearish with battle over $8,450 level of support
A tremendous tussle between Bitcoin bulls and bears is underway this morning with a major sell-off causing price to slump towards the $8,450 level of support. This particular level provided a bounce for Bitcoin's price on two occasions over the weekend, while it was also a point of resistance on January 8. A daily candle close below this level would see the world's largest cryptocurrency flip into a bearish posture with downside price targets emerging at $8,150 and $7,850. A corrective move to the downside would also see a rejection of a potential golden cross, which would have seen the daily 50 EMA cross the 200 EMA to the upside for the first time since April 2019.

‘Regulation will see Bitcoin go mainstream in the UK’ – Coinfloor CEO
Tighter EU laws governing cryptocurrency will lead to wider Bitcoin adoption, claims the CEO of established UK crypto exchange Coinfloor. This month, the European Union implemented a new law – known as the EU Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD) – which requires cryptocurrency platforms and wallet providers to identify their customers for anti-money laundering purposes. The UK has decided to implement the law despite its decision to leave the EU. Coinfloor CEO Obi Nwosu says tighter EU and UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations will increase confidence among consumers. He told Coin Rivet: “Clearer regulation is a going to be a good thing for the UK and EU. It will bring more certainty for users, service providers like us, andThe post ‘Regulation will see Bitcoin go mainstream in the UK’ – Coinfloor CEO appeared first on Coin Rivet.

Taking to Twitter to express his outrage, Lewis warned followers that his image is being used by Bitcoin scammers in an attempt to defraud vulnerable victims.
