Image
Bullish attempts to topple the bear reign in the Moonbeam (GLMR) market have been thwarted by solid resistance at the intraday high of $0.3795. After the bulls failed to invalidate the bearish hand in GLMR, the price fell to a 24-hour low of $0.3686 before regaining support. When writing, bears in Moonbeam were still dominant, driving the price down to $0.3686 (a drop of 1.09%). If this trend continues and the $0.3686 support level is broken, the following levels to monitor are $0.3558 and $0.3429, respectively. If the bears lose steam and the bulls regain control, the price may recover toward the resistance levels of $0.3825 and $0.3962.

How does the monetary supply affect cryptocurrencies?

Cointelegraph analyst and writer Marcel Pechman explains how the monetary supply affects cryptocurrencies. The show Macro Markets, hosted by Marcel Pechman, which airs every Friday at 12 pm ET on the Cointelegraph Markets & Research YouTube channel, explains complex concepts in layman’s terms and focuses on the cause and effect of traditional financial events on day-to-day crypto activity. In today’s episode, crypto analyst Pechman discusses the fundamentals of money, including how to calculate supply, the effects of savings deposits and money market funds, and how central banks can inflate without effectively “printing money.” Pechman explains why near-zero interest rates and reduced financial institution reserve requirements benefit risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies, so much. The video then compares the broad monetary supply change in the United States to Bitcoin’s (BTC) price — some impressive charts you should not miss. Following a brief recap, Pechman explains why governm

The benefits of trading Forex pairs in decentralized finance

Image
Crypto holders can get synthetic exposure to Forex pairs directly on-chain thanks to decentralized leveraged trading platforms. Cryptocurrency volatility attracts a lot of traders looking to convert price fluctuations into profitable deals. Nevertheless, many traders still prefer to speculate on the price of traditional assets, mainly foreign exchange (forex) pairs. The daily turnover of the global forex market hit $7.5 trillion in April last year, according to data provided by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), making it by far the largest market out there. Thanks to leveraged trading platforms, crypto enthusiasts can get synthetic exposure to this vast market directly on-chain. Some of these decentralized venues enable users to trade a wide range of asset classes, including crypto, forex, stocks, bonds and commodities. While the price moves of most Forex pairs pale in comparison to the wild fluctuations of crypto assets, traders can benefit from the leverage feature to mu

Bitcoin Artwork Criticized By Greenpeace — Bitcoiners Like It

Image
Greenpeace is still trying to change Bitcoin’s code, but people who use Bitcoin don’t take their activism seriously. Greepeace’s latest marketing stunt against the Bitcoin mining industry seems to have backfired, as people who support Bitcoin seem to like the art that came out of it. While this is going on, Bitcoiners continue to slam the group for trying to say that the network is bad for the environment and remain committed to its proof of work consensus mechanism. The Satoshi Skull In a tweet on Friday, Greenpeace repeated old claims that Bitcoin is causing “dangerously high levels of pollution in the real world” because its “outdated code” encourages people to use fossil fuels. NEW: #Bitcoin is causing MASSIVE amounts of pollution and has become a major roadblock in our fight to phase out fossil fuels. So we teamed up with @thevonwong to create this giant with laser eyes to help us raise awareness and spark change. WATCH and SHARE: pic.twitter.com/Av0
