Low-Volume Bitcoin Pullback Stalls at Price Support Near $9.6K
Bitcoin’s price pullback looks to have stalled with the bears losing steam near former hurdle-turned-support on Sunday. The number one cryptocurrency by market cap ran into offers over the weekend, having faced multiple rejections near $10,500 on Feb. 12–13. Notably, the cryptocurrency fell nearly 4.5 percent on Sunday – its biggest single-day decline since Nov. 24 – with sellers driving prices as far as support at $9,615 – a higher high created on Feb. 3. The former resistance level, however, withstood the bear attack. Bitcoin went on to close Sunday on…
Japan’s Horrific GDP Spiral Poses Major U.S. Stock Market Threat
Global economic headwinds are reaching critical levels after a horrific Japanese GDP figure on Sunday. With China, Germany and Japan all slowing even before the coronavirus hit, recession risks continue to rise. The great divergence between economic fundamentals and stock market returns continues as Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures rose overnight. The global economic outlook saw another dark storm-cloud brewing on Sunday evening as Japan, the world’s 3rd largest economy, reported an eye-watering GDP number of -6.3% YoY, considerably worse than the already dire prediction of -3.7%. With…

Bitcoin Holding This Essential Level Will Lead to 20% Rally
Bitcoin has seen quite the turn of events over the weekend; the price of the leading cryptocurrency has whipsawed between $9,700 and $10,500, failing to establish a short-term trend due to an endless tug of war between buyers and sellers. While many analysts and investors have attributed this indecisive price action to a potential topping in the Bitcoin market, some are sure the asset is poised to continue even higher in the coming weeks, citing the fact the cryptocurrency maintained the $9,500 price point — a level that has been…

The Age of Gaming’s Big Overhaul is Here
Anthem and State of Decay 2 are two games that have recently announced their intentions to ‘overhaul’ themselves. No Man’s Sky was a high-profile game that last year saw a miraculous recovery after a shoddy release period. This new trend could end up becoming an industry-standard if more companies jump on the bandwagon. Lots of games come out with bugs. Sometimes games even come out and are nowhere near ‘finished’. Anthem is a great example of this. It came out and felt like it was barely a game at all.…
