Criptos (boletín semanal): Prevalece el tinte bajista en el mercado de criptomonedas

 

 

La primera mitad de semana se ha traducido en consolidación de precios por debajo de las resistencias clave, si bien la jornada de ayer dio un vuelco a lo anterior, observándose caídas en las principales criptomonedas.

Tras el reciente halving, algunos de los análisis más pormenorizados dentro de este nicho de mercado confiaban en la ruptura al alza de la barrera de los 10.000 USD por parte del Bitcoin; no obstante, se ha llegado aobservar todo lo contrario, ya que la criptomoneda por antonomasia ha llegado a alcanzar los 9.000 USD. Las caídas comenzaron el jueves, cuando se ejecutó una operación de venta de 40 BTS con destino en un monedero virtual, ni siquiera en cuenta virtual de alguna casa de cambio de criptomonedas. Lo que agitó a los inversores fue el hecho de que la expectativa bajista a largo plazo podría ser el objetivo de su creador, Satoshi Nakamoto (pseudónomo del creador de Bitcoin en el año 2009).Bitcoin price has continued to struggle with key resistance at $ 10,000 that has proven too strong for market bulls. Currently price is testing an  upward trend-line. In case of a break below then $8200 should provide strong support. Source: xStation5

 

 

The launch of Ethereum 2.0 has been a topic of interest among cryptocurrency enthusiasts.  Ethereum 2.0, also called Eth2 or ‘Serenity’, is the next upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum 2.0 will be released in multiple “Phases” starting in June or July 2020 with Phase 0. However the exact date is still unknown. Phase 1 is anticipated in 2021. Phase 2 and beyond are anticipated for 2021 or later. Each phase will improve the functionality and performance of Ethereum in different ways. Ethereum 2.0 will primarily benefit the scalability, throughput, and security of the Ethereum public mainnet. Ethereum 2.0 will not eliminate any of the data history, transaction records, or asset ownership of the Ethereum 1.0 chain. The Beacon Chain – which will be the backbone of Ethereum 2.0 – will be fully functional with the existing 1.0 chain, ensuring continuity.
