Top 3 Coins To Watch Today: ADA, ETC, TEL – July 19 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Cardano (ADA)

Cardano ADA is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform that says its goal is to allow “changemakers, innovators, and visionaries” to bring about positive global change. The ADA token is designed to ensure that owners can participate in the operation of the network. Because of this, those who hold the cryptocurrency have the right to vote on any proposed changes to the software.

ADA Price Analysis

At the time of writing, ADA is ranked the 5th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$1.60. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

ADA’s 40% July rally could be setting up a more significant bullish move for the rest of the quarter.

Last week, the support beginning near A$1.55 launched a move to the resistance starting near A$1.75. This move failed to close below the previous swing high. However, it did create probable support underneath the high near a monthly level around A$1.90.

Aggressive bulls could enter near this recently formed support. The last swing high at A$1.97 gives a first reasonable target. Bulls could hold for the second target at the set of relatively equal daily highs near A$2.17.

A daily close above the resistance from A$1.98 to A$2.10 could signal an extended move. Resistance at the EQ near A$2.25, a small price range near A$2.30, and probable resistance beginning at A$2.48 give potential take profit or turning points before the equal highs forming the primary objective at A$2.55.

2. Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Ethereum Classic ETC is a hard fork of Ethereum that launched in July 2016. Its main function is as a smart contract network, with the ability to host and support decentralized applications (DApps). Its native token is ETC. Since its launch, Ethereum Classic has sought to differentiate itself from Ethereum, with the two networks’ technical roadmap diverging further and further from each other with time.

ETC Price Analysis

At the time of writing, ETC  is ranked the 19th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$55.90. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

ETC tore upward into price discovery last month before pausing at resistance near the main move’s 0.68 extension.

The price range beginning at A$40.27 provides the first potential support for an early-week dip. Just below this range, the previous swing high and accumulation near A$36.25 could provide more substantial support. 

A significant market drop could reach as low as the consolidation range beginning at A$30.68, supported by the January monthly open.

It’s impossible to predict where the price in discovery will go, but the last high at A$69.37 provides the first probable target. Extensions from the primary move hint at A$75.38, A$82.41, and A$86.28 as probable take-profit zones.

3. Telcoin (TEL)

Telcoin TEL is the native medium of exchange, reserve asset, and protocol token of the Telcoin user-owned, decentralized financial platform. TEL enables end-users to seamlessly access and power a global suite of user-owned, decentralized financial products. TEL incentives coordinate market participants, such as telecoms and active users, to provide specific value-added services to end-users of the platform.

TEL Price Analysis

At the time of writing, TEL is ranked the 84th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.01741. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

June saw a 35% spike in TEL price into the resistance beginning near A$0.04329. This move swept July’s swing high, which might set the stage for retracement and reaccumulation.

The previous high and brief reaccumulation near A$0.02377 has so far provided support, making it a reasonable place for bulls to begin building positions. 

A deeper drop to run stops and test the daily gap beginning at A$0.01524 is likely to meet support. This area has a confluence with a monthly level and a consolidation zone.

Bulls could target the most recent swing high near A$0.02788. A break of this resistance zone is likely to reach near the old monthly high at A$0.03744. 

Resistance near $0.03575 could cause the price to pause. However, a break of this level is likely to proceed to resistance under the next monthly high, near A$0.04137.

Where to Buy or Trade Altcoins?

These three coins have the high liquidity on Binance Exchange, so that could help with trading on AUD/USDT/BTC pairs. And if you’re looking at buying and HODLing cryptos, then Swyftx Exchange is an easy-to-use popular choice in Australia.

Top 3 Coins To Watch Today: VET, ALICE, SHIB – July 16 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. VeChain (VET)

VeChain VET is a blockchain-powered supply chain platform. VeChain aims to use distributed governance and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to create an ecosystem that solves some of the major problems with supply chain management.

VET Price Analysis

At the time of writing, VET is ranked the 23rd cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.09351. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

During July, VET has consolidated under the July monthly open inside an approximately 25% range. This consolidation could point to accumulation. 

Bulls immediately bought up dips to support at a weekly level near A$0.08749 and a monthly level near A$0.1057, showing substantial buyer interest.

A cluster of relatively equal daily lows around A$0.08544 provides an attractive target for a stop run, creating a potentially excellent entry for bulls. More aggressive bulls could enter on dips to the closer support beginning at A$0.07951

If Bitcoin tumbles, a more pronounced dip could reach as low as the equal lows near A$0.07352, running stops into support beginning at A$0.07015. This move would give a good risk/reward entry for bulls targeting the high below resistance starting at A$0.1162, the relatively equal highs near A$0.1492, and the June high near A$0.1917.

2. MyNeighborAlice (ALICE)

ALICE is a multiplayer builder game, where anyone can buy and own virtual islands, collect and build exciting items and meet new friends. Inspired by successful games such as Animal Crossing, the game combines the best of the two worlds – a fun narrative for regular players who want to enjoy the gameplay experience as well as an ecosystem for players who want to collect and trade Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

ALICE Price Analysis

At the time of writing, ALICE  is ranked the 187th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$10.61. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

After accumulating under the July monthly open, ALICE rallied 129% in a week before retracing to support near A$9.55.

Buyers continue to snatch up dips under the weekly open, suggesting that accumulation is still taking place. 

Bulls could look for entries in this region while being conscious of a potential stop run below the cluster of lows at A$8.82. Two areas of support, beginning near A$8.57 and A$8.29, provide probable buys if the price dips this low.

The equal highs near A$12.63 provide a first reasonable bullish target. If the price takes this target and penetrates the surrounding resistance, the next probable resistance begins near A$14.66. Possible targets include the old highs just above this resistance near A$19.83, A$21.46, and A$24.39.

3. Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba Inu SHIB coin was created anonymously in August 2020 under the pseudonym “Ryoshi.” The meme coin quickly gained speed and value as a community of investors was drawn in by the cute charm of the coin paired with headlines and Tweets from personalities like Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin.

SHIB Price Analysis

At the time of writing, SHIB is ranked the 34th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.000009329. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

SHIB wasted no time during June, rocketing upward over 85% from the last week of the month into the resistance near A$0.000015829.

For the last several days, the price has consolidated sideways and appears to be flipping old resistance near A$0.000011829 to support. If this level breaks – perhaps due to the tempting daily equal lows below – the next support begins near A$0.000008529.

Bulls entering at these levels could set their first target near the previous resistance near A$0.000012159. Beyond this level, probable targets include the old highs near A$0.000013529 and the resistance above near A$0.000013929.

A break of this resistance later this month could continue to the highs near A$0.000015229 and A$0.000015829.

These three coins have the high liquidity on Binance Exchange, so that could help with trading on AUD/USDT/BTC pairs. And if you’re looking at buying and HODLing cryptos, then Swyftx Exchange is an easy-to-use popular choice in Australia.

New Stock Market Crypto Index Launches with 240 Coins

Assessing the market performance of cryptocurrencies just got easier for investors with S&P Dow Jones Indices launching a range of new crypto-focused indices.

The leading index provider added five products to benchmark the performance of emerging digital assets, building on three existing benchmarks released earlier this year that focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

Foremost among the new indices is the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market (BDM) Index, which provides a wide snapshot of the cryptocurrency market and includes more than 240 coins at launch.

S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index Graph

In a statement announcing the indices launch, Peter Roffman, global head of innovation and strategy at S&P Dow Jones, said:

For more than a century, our indices have offered insight into how the markets are performing. Now, with the introduction of the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index, we’re providing that answer to cryptocurrency investors.

Peter Roffman, S&P Dow Jones Indices

The indices use pricing data provided by crypto software and data company Lukka.

Transparency Needed as Financial Markets Open the Door to Crypto

Indices offering transparent benchmarking for cryptos is another example of how financial markets are moving towards enabling investment in digital assets.

A growing number of countries are approving crypto-based EFTs to be listed on financial exchanges, including multiple Canadian funds, and Bitcoin EFTs in Brazil and Dubai

Although investor demand is high, many countries remain cautious about introducing crypto EFTs. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering a number of requests for crypto EFTs, including one filed by investment bank Goldman Sachs in March. The ASX said in May that it’s exploring the safeguards required to enable Australians to access a crypto-based EFT, because “these assets are broadly being sought by retail investors … ”

Top 3 Coins To Watch Today: AXS, SAND, OGN – July 15 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Axie Infinity (AXS)

Axie Infinity AXS is a blockchain-based trading and battling game that is partially owned and operated by its players. Each Axie is a non-fungible token (NFT) with different attributes and strengths and can be entered into 3v3 battles, with the winning team earning more experience (exp) points that are used to level up an Axie’s stats or evolve its body parts.

AXS Price Analysis

At the time of writing, AXS is ranked the 60th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$30.85. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

AXS exploded over 390% from the monthly open to tag the 400% extension near A$30.54. This level could continue to provide resistance, although early morning trading suggests that the 68% extension near A$32.25 could be turning from resistance to support.

A drop to the daily gap beginning at A$25.45 could provide an excellent entry for traders who can’t watch intraday price action. If this gap fills, the zone between A$22.00 and A$20.65 provides the next logical support. 

Technical analysis can’t predict a final target, but the 450% and 500% extensions near A$34.87 and A$39.55 are likely to provide significant resistance. Traders planning to take profits along the way can also watch the 435% extension near A$32.17.

2. The Sandbox (SAND)

The Sandbox SAND is a blockchain-based virtual world allowing users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. By combining the powers of decentralised autonomous organisations (DAO) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the Sandbox creates a decentralised platform for a thriving gaming community.

SAND Price Analysis

At the time of writing, SAND is ranked the 112th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.6759. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

SAND’s stunning rally from June 25 transitioned to a slower continuation during July. However, the 127% extension near A$0.6945 has provided stiff resistance and pinned down the daily closes for the latter part of last week.

Traders could begin looking for entries in support created by the gap from A$0.5844 to A$0.5587. A higher risk-to-reward opportunity could present itself at probable support between A$0.6012 and A$0.5247, just above the weekly open. 

A deeper market retracement could drop below the relatively equal lows near A$0.4829, giving a higher probability entry in the support from A$0.4588 to A$0.4259.

As price explores thin air, there’s no way to predict the final target. However, the 100% and 168% extensions near A$0.8955 and A$0.9657 are likely to provide more significant resistance. The 68% and 127% extensions near A$0.8514 and A$0.8047 are reasonable areas to take profits along the way.

3. Origin Protocol (OGN)

Origin Protocol OGN is a network that allows market participants to share goods and services through peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The platform aims to create an extensive online marketplace leveraging the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain and Interplanetary File System (IPFS) in order to eliminate the need for middlemen.

OGN Price Analysis

At the time of writing, OGN is ranked the 134th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$1.08. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

OGN climbed just over 20% from July’s monthly open as it positioned itself to challenge two old swing highs.

The region between A$0.8568 and A$0.8047 has provided support for the last few days, making it a reasonable place for aggressive traders to take smaller-size positions. However, a better risk-reward entry might form at support between A$0.9144 and A$0.9572.

If the resistance between A$1.17 and A$1.30 breaks, the next resistance is between A$1.41 and the May swing high at A$1.68, which marks the first primary target for this trend.

Beyond this first target, traders could target a swing high from last April at A$2.30 and possibly up to resistance between A$2.51 and A$2.72.

Where to Buy or Trade Altcoins?

These three coins have the high liquidity on Binance Exchange, so that could help with trading on AUD/USDT/BTC pairs. And if you’re looking at buying and HODLing cryptos, then Swyftx Exchange is an easy-to-use popular choice in Australia.

Top 3 Coins To Watch Today: HBAR, ZEC, GRT – July 14 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR)

Billed as the “trust layer of the internet”, Hedera Hashgraph HBAR is a public network that allows individuals and businesses to create powerful decentralised applications (DApps).

It is designed to be a fairer, more efficient system that eliminates some of the limitations older blockchain-based platforms face, such as slow performance and instability.

HBAR Price Analysis

At the time of writing, HBAR is ranked the 54th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.2414. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

During the weekend it swung around A$0.2614 as it tested support near A$0.2247.

Following H4 candle chart: HBAR is forming a channel in red but our upper trendline is not valid yet, so we are waiting for a new swing high to form around it to consider it our trigger swing.

Aggressive traders expecting expansion to the upside could look for entries near possible support around A$0.2094. Bids near A$0.1855 may be able to capitalise on an attempt to run the stops below the weekend’s swing low. A stop run below this low may reach into possible support near A$0.1529.

In the short term, A$0.3442 may provide some resistance. The swing high near A$0.3169 looks like a first target, with the area just above up to A$0.3352 possibly creating resistance.

2. Zcash (ZEC)

ZEC is a decentralised cryptocurrency focused on privacy and anonymity. It uses the zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proof technology that allows nodes on the network to verify transactions without revealing any sensitive information about those transactions.

ZEC Price Analysis

At the time of writing, ZEC is ranked the 64th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$141.34. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

The weekend’s 21% drop was immediately bought up and closed the day bullish, suggesting strength for ZEC bulls.

Aggressive traders could look for support near A$132.25. Levels near A$125.78 and A$118.57 also provide areas for bids during a retracement.

The A$110.25 lower range of support is coinciding with the 100W Moving Average, which has been respected multiple times since August 2020 and up until January 2021.

Little resistance rests overhead, but the area between A$145.62 and the swing high at A$152.74 may cap an initial move upward. Extensions seem to indicate A$163.55 and A$169.24 as take-profit zones.

3. The Graph (GRT)

The Graph GRT is working to bring reliable decentralised public infrastructure to the mainstream market. To ensure economic security of The Graph Network and the integrity of data being queried, participants use Graph Token. GRT is a work token that is locked-up by Indexers, Curators and Delegators in order to provide indexing and curating services to the network.

GRT Price Analysis

At the time of writing, GRT is ranked the 48th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.8814. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

An impressive 163% two months for GRT has retraced over 56% as the price consolidates near the weekly gap beginning near A$0.8547.

The equal lows at this weekly gap might see a stop run before any further move up. The area near A$0.8214 at the top of a daily gap could provide support.

The bottom of the gap seems a more likely support, ranging from approximately A$0.7244 to the consolidation that started the massive move upward. If this level fails, traders could look for sensitivity near the middle of the monthly gap near A$0.6437.

Impulses upward during retracement are possible, but the most substantial resistance seems just below the June swing high near A$1.10. This swing high provides a clear first target, with any targets beyond challenging to predict.

Where to Buy or Trade Altcoins?

These three coins have the high liquidity on Binance Exchange, so that could help with trading on AUD/USDT/BTC pairs. And if you’re looking at buying and HODLing cryptos, then Swyftx Exchange is an easy-to-use popular choice in Australia.

Top 3 Coins To Watch Today: BNB, FWT, KAVA – July 13 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Binance Coin (BNB)

BNB is the cryptocurrency of the Binance platform. It is a trading platform exclusively for cryptocurrencies. The name “Binance” is a combination of binary and finance. The cryptocurrency currently has a daily trading volume of 1.5 billion – 2 billion US dollars and is still increasing. In total, there will only be 200 million BNBs. 

BNB Price Analysis

At the time of writing, BNB is ranked the 4th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$430.07. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

After dropping nearly 70% in less than two weeks, BNB found a low just above the monthly gap near A$282.79. Since then, the price has been consolidating in a range between A$578.41 and A$282.79.

The weekly level near A$388.55 may continue to provide support during a run on the local swing lows. The monthly gap beginning near A$280.79 will likely give the next higher-timeframe support if this level fails.

The price is currently chewing into potentially strong resistance near A$437.50. A sweep of the relatively equal highs near A$456.85, and a daily close above this level could signal a move to the next set of relatively equal highs near A$507.05. 

Just above these highs, probable resistance rests near A$525.96, which may cap the price until the market moves out of consolidation. However, any significant bullish shift in market conditions during the next few weeks could help bulls reach the swing high near A$578.41, running stops into probable resistance near A$616.71.

2. Freeway Token (FWT)

FWT are the native utility tokens for AuBit Freeway – a ground-breaking new asset management platform built for greater total returns on the world’s top investment products with no additional risk.

FWT Price Analysis

At the time of writing, FWT is ranked the 488th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.0118. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

FWT accompanied the rest of the market in the mid-Q2 drop, falling nearly 83% from its mid-May high until it found a low late in June.

Price action in late June formed a weekly support level near A$0.011, which has so far held up the price. The most recent swing low inside this range, near A$0.010, might be the target for any future stop runs. After this low, the swing low near A$0.0072 and the gap beginning near A$0.0071 marks possible higher-timeframe support.

The price is currently battling with significant higher-timeframe resistance levels, with the closest probable resistance resting near A$0.012, just over the July monthly open. A sweep of the relatively equal highs above this resistance might find sellers near A$0.013 – but could reach as high as A$0.016.

3. Kava.io (KAVA)

Kava is a cross-chain DeFi lending platform that allows users to borrow USDX stablecoins and deposit a variety of cryptocurrencies to begin earning a yield. The Kava DeFi hub operates like a decentralised bank for digital assets, allowing users to access a range of decentralised financial services, including its native USD-pegged stablecoin USDX, as well as synthetics and derivatives. Through Kava, users are able to borrow USDX tokens by depositing collateral, effectively leveraging their exposure to crypto assets.

KAVA Price Analysis

KAVA is ranked the 124th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$$5.83. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

KAVA has been trading through a massive range since April, with the price showing mild bullishness during July.

The breaks of the swing highs at A$5.46 and A$6.02 led to support forming near A$5.55. Some bulls will likely wait for a more favourable entry on a potential stop run that could reach near A$4.74. 

If the support near A$5.55 continues to hold, the recent swing high at $4.9845 is likely the next short-term target. This potential bullish swing might end with a run on short stops up to A$7.61 and A$7.88. 

Higher-timeframe resistance between A$7.59 and A$8.12 may cap any move upwards until the overall market becomes more bullish. However, any significant bearish move in Bitcoin will likely push the price down toward the low and possible support near A$2.82.

Where to Buy or Trade Altcoins?

These three coins have the high liquidity on Binance Exchange, so that could help with trading on AUD/USDT/BTC pairs. And if you’re looking at buying and HODLing cryptos, then Swyftx Exchange is an easy-to-use popular choice in Australia.

Top 3 Coins To Watch This Week: CELR, FET, SXP – Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you.

1. Celer Network (CELR)

The Celer Network (CELR) is a smartly designed layer-2 scaling solution that provides off-chain transactions handling. The Celer platform offers fast, simple and secure off-chain transactions for both payments and smart contracts. The project was among the first to be developed using the Substrate framework and is part of the Polkadot ecosystem. As to the overall goal of the network, its founders envisioned unleashing the full potential of blockchain and revolutionising Dapps with more efficient and productive outputs.

CELR Price Analysis

At the time of writing, CELR is ranked the 174th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.03565. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

After retracing nearly 80 percent from its highs, CELR wicked into the monthly gap beginning near A$0.02814. This wick formed the bottom of the current range.

The price shows no apparent signs of a longer-term reversal, which may mean that the closest resistance near A$0.04012 will continue to suppress the price. However, some support could be found near the monthly open, possibly giving bulls footing for a stop run through the swing high at A$0.04296. 

This move could continue into resistance near A$0.04731 and spike through the relatively equal highs near A$0.05047. A break of the next swing high near A$0.05631 is likely to find resistance once it reaches A$0.05733. If this move occurs, it may suggest a longer-term reversal.

A retest of possible support near A$0.03142 could provide an entry for a short-term trade. However, there is a higher probability for more substantial support near A$00.01715 after a run on the lows at A$0.02810 and A$0.01715.

2. Fetch.ai (FET)

Fetch.ai is a platform that aims to connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices and algorithms to enable collective learning. It was launched in 2017 by a team based in Cambridge, UK. Fetch.ai is built on a high-throughput sharded ledger and offers smart contract capabilities to deploy machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions for decentralised problem-solving.

These open-source tools are designed to help users create ecosystem infrastructure and deploy commercial models.

FET Price Analysis

At the time of writing, FET is ranked the 156th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$0.3367. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

FET has dropped nearly 82 percent from its highs, with the current low’s wick on June 22 taking stops below two major swing lows.

The resulting bounce found resistance near A$0.3764, which could continue to cap upward movement. If the price finds support in the current region near A$0.3536, it could continue to resistance near A$0.4183. A more substantial move might run stops above the swing high near A$0.4536 into resistance near A$0.4718.

A break below the monthly open is likely to target buy stops near A$0.2710, an area that could provide some support. A move below this level could target below the swing low at A$0.2169, possibly reaching the gap beginning near A$0.1700.

3. Swipe (SXP)

Swipe is a platform that looks to form a bridge between the fiat and cryptocurrency worlds with its three main existing products: the Swipe multi-asset mobile wallet, the Swipe cryptocurrency-funded debit card, and the Swipe Token (SXP).

This ecosystem is powered by the Swipe Token (SXP), which functions as the fuel for the Swipe Network, and is used for paying transaction fees. Holders of SXP tokens are eligible for exclusive discounts on the Swipe app and the token can be used for making fiat payments with the Swipe debit card.

SXP Price Analysis

At the time of writing, SXP is ranked the 158th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is A$2.59. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Source: TradingView

SXP’s 77 percent drop has filled the February monthly gap twice as the price consolidates between A$1.78 and A$3.31.

Price’s current region, between A$2.69 and A$2.50 and just under the monthly open, could continue to give support. If this area continues to hold, the cluster of relatively equal range highs up to A$3.31 is a likely target. 

An animated move through these highs could reach up to the daily gap beginning at A$3.69. The area between A$4.26 and A$4.07 provides a likely cap for a move into this zone.

A drop lower could be a run-on stop under A$2.38 and find support near A$2.24. If this level is lost, the swing low at A$1.78 is a likely target, with A$1.60 possibly giving support.

Where to Buy or Trade Altcoins?

These three Altcoins have the high liquidity on Binance Exchange, so that could help with trading on USDT or BTC pairs. And if you’re looking at buying and HODLing cryptos, then Swyftx Exchange is an easy-to-use popular choice in Australia.

Bitcoin Trading Volume Dries Out as US Celebrates Independence Day

There have been fewer trading activities for Bitcoin (BTC) over the past few days. On-chain data shows that spot trading volume had been dropping towards the US Independence holiday. At the same time, Bitcoin inflows and outflows have declined, which suggests low transactions from whales.

Low Bitcoin Activity During US Holiday

Over the weekend, Bitcoin trading volume dropped significantly as there was also low exchange inflow and outflow activity. Recent data from Glassnode shows that only US$5.8 billion worth of BTC flowed into exchanges over the weekend, while US$6.4 billion was moved out within the same period, which accounted for a net flow of -US$593.1 million.

BTC spot volume has been trending downwards since 29 June; however, it took a more noticeable drop on 2 July. Many people believed the US Independence holiday was one factor that caused the low trading activity, as most traders in the US may have taken time off the market.

However, according to a crypto on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, it seems like the whales are staying low without much actions” .

Bitcoin is at Key Level

At this current state, Bitcoin will likely be in consolidation, however buying pressure could mount well enough to keep price trending upward. 

A push to either side of the market would have a high possibility of triggering a relatively big reaction to the price.

CryptoQuant

Bitcoin was down by 3.89 percent over the last 24 hours to US$34,050 at the time of writing. Some indicators, including the Puell Multiple, show it will recover from the bear market soon.

ASIC’s New 46-Page Report Details Regulations Around Crypto Trading

Australia’s financial regulator has laid out guidelines relating to the inclusion of cryptos in exchange traded products (ETPs) and is seeking market participants’ input to shape its position within the regulatory landscape.

In a consultation paper published on June 30, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) set out a range of proposals around making crypto assets available to retail investors through licensed Australian markets. The paper covers whether cryptos are suitable for use as an underlying security in an ETP, how they’re categorised, pricing mechanisms, risk management, and other related issues.

The paper also noted that feedback will be used to adjust rules for local operators, to promote market integrity and to protect consumers:

We consider that crypto-asset ETPs have unique features and risks which need to be recognised by market operators and product issuers in performing their functions and meeting existing regulatory obligations. 

ASIC states that the only crypto assets likely to satisfy its expectations currently are Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, it expressed a willingness to collaborate with licensees to establish criteria to assess other crypto assets. 

Under this approach, market operators could determine that a particular crypto asset is an appropriate underlying asset for ETPs on their market. 

ASIC defines ETPs as open-ended investment products that are traded on a financial market and invest in, or give exposure to, various assets or asset classes. This covers exchange traded funds (ETFs), managed funds, and securities such as exchange traded commodities (ETCs) and exchange traded notes (ETNs).

ASIC Recognises Strong Interest in Aussie Crypto ETF, Seeks Public Comment

In Australia, we are aware of interest in, and demand for, domestic crypto-asset ETPs. However, we are also aware of the real risk of harm to consumers and markets if these products are not developed and operated properly.

ASIC is inviting public comment up until July 27, 2021. The regulator is especially keen to hear about the likely compliance costs, effects on competition and other impacts of its proposals, as well as ideas on alternative approaches. 

Comments should be sent by July 27 to [email protected] with the subject heading ‘CP 343 Submission – [Entity Name]’.

ASIC Takes Cautious Approach

ASIC has so far taken a cautious approach when it comes to crypto.

In February, the regulator came out to refute claims it had a policy to stop Bitcoin ETFs, with its commissioner explaining that with appropriate rules in place, such products could be made available in Australia.

ASIC has also been actively targeting scammers and adopting other regulations to improve consumer protections, including reducing CFD (Contracts for Difference) leveraged trading available to retail traders from 30:1 to 2:1.

ASIC Boosts Consumer Protection Around CFD Crypto Trading in Australia

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has further tightened up regulations for crypto exchanges in the country. This follows recent news of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposing certain conditions on Binance, such as reducing leveraged trading, to protect retail traders.

FCA Tames Crypto Trading in the UK

On 26 June, the UK’s FCA ordered crypto exchange Binance to halt all regulated services and stop the promotion of certain products and trading services for British citizens.

On 29 June, ASIC reduced CFD (Contracts for Difference) leveraged trading available to retail traders from 30:1 to 2:1, following earlier pronouncements of the FCA.

Of late, ASIC has been prompted to regulate trading services due to the number of Aussie crypto investors who have been defrauded by scammers posing as crypto exchanges in the country.

We are also paying careful attention to changes in CFD providers’ reported holdings of retail client money and any misclassification of retail clients as wholesale clients, which would risk denying them important rights and protections. Protecting retail investors from harm, particularly at a time of heightened vulnerability, is a priority for ASIC.

Cathie Armour, ASIC Commissioner

While the trading of cryptoassets per se isn’t regulated by financial watchdogs in Australia and the UK, CFDs do fall into that category, and crypto exchanges must abide by certain conditions to promote CFD crypto trading and other products.
