2 Catalysts Will Drive Bitcoin Price Higher in 2018



Throughout 2018, Bitcoin has continued  to record lower highs, testing major resistance levels at $10,000, $8,000 and $7,000. according to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, the steadiness of Bitcoin at $6,000 regardless of its lower highs is optimistic.

In early 2018, Fundstrat emphasized in a report that the $6,000 level will probably be held by Bitcoin in the mid-term because it's the breakeven point for miners. That means, miners that utilize electricity and mining equipment to verify transactions on the Bitcoin network can still generate some profit if the value of Bitcoin stays on top of the $6,000 level.

Lee explained on Bloomberg that the steadiness of BTC at the $6,000 mark and two major catalysts awaiting BTC in the year finish could push the price of BTC up substantially within the next two months.

“$6,000 is a level that's a lot of important than we realized. Earlier this year, we were pointing $6,000 as breakeven for Bitcoin mining so that level should hold. The fact Bitcoin is holding here is extremely good news. I think there are catalysts in the year end so i think despite the lower highs we’ve seen i think we’re beginning to reverse,” Lee said.

What are the two Catalysts?

According to Lee, two major factors can contribute to the rise in the price of BTC by the end of the year: strengthening infrastructure of the cryptocurrency exchange market and fear of missing out (FOMO) amongst institutional investors.

Over the past few months, Bakkt, a cryptocurrency exchange created by ICE, Starbucks, and Microsoft, has been building the first regulation-focused platform that primarily aims to operate as a trusted custodian and brokerage for large-scale investors.

Eventually, with the entrance of major investment banks and solid products offered by Bakkt, Lee expressed that institutions will have the ability to enter the market.

But, echoing the sentiment of billionaire investor mike Novogratz who antecedently stated that institutions will likely not commit to the crypto market till Bitcoin surpasses major resistance levels at $8,800 and $10,000, Lee emphasized that Bitcoin will have to show some recovery in its price before it appeals to several institutions.

“I think there's a few. One, this new exchange called ICE Bakkt will be launched. It's going to be really one of the first regulated exchanges. I think around that, there is working being done by these major investment banks to build products to support it or work with it. I think institutions are waiting to be involved,” he said.

How will Bitcoin finish 2018?

In early 2018, Lee reaffirmed his price target of $25,000 per BTC. The cryptocurrency market is quickly approaching the end of 2018 and it's turning into increasing unlikely for the dominant cryptocurrency to achieve an all-time high by the end of the year.

Still, given the stability of BTC at $6,000 since late July, it's possible for the asset to show strength and momentum by November and December, a period in which the cryptocurrency market historically tend to record massive gains.

Tries to Steal Crypto Through Fake Google Chrome Wallet Extensions by Mystery Hacker

Gambar
Harry Denley, director of security at wallet provider MyCrypto, who identified the fake wallet extensions, said in a report Tuesday that Google has so far removed 49 extensions that purported to be well-known crypto wallets from its Chrome Web Store. The fake extensions are basic phishing plays. Posing as legitimate wallets, they leak personal information inputted by users, such as private keys and passwords, to the hacker, who can then drain balances in a matter of seconds. The fakes detected have so far claimed to be wallets such as Ledger, Trezor, Jaxx, Electrum, MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, Exodus, and KeepKey. Test amounts of crypto sent by Denley have not been picked up, suggesting that either the hacker has to manually empty wallets or that they are only interested in comparatively large balances. On the Chrome Web Store, most of these apps had consistently good reviews written typically in simplistic or broken English. On the basis that the admin email appears to be a Rus...
