10TH MAY LATEST CRYPTO NEWS DIGITAL MAGAZINE

TerraUSD (UST) the algorithmic stablecoin of the Terra blockchain lost its peg to the US dollar and dropped to a low of $0.67 on May 10. Terra’s LUNA token, which is used to back UST has also been in a tailspin plunging more than 52% on May 9. Analysts fear that if the Luna Foundation Guard, tasked to defend the peg of the UST to USD, is forced to liquidate its Bitcoin holdings, that could create more panic and result in further liquidations.

On-chain market intelligence firm Glassnode highlighted in a recent report that Bitcoin had declined between 77.2% to 85.5% from the all-time high during the bear markets of 2015, 2018 and 2020. Network profitability has also declined to the precapitulation levels seen during 2018, late 2019 bear and March 2020. Glassnode warned that “further downside remains a risk, and would be within the realm of historical cycle performance."

Bitcoin turned down from the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) on May 5 and plunged below the $37,000 support. This aggravated selling and the BTC/USD pair plummeted to $32,933 as we had projected in our previous analysis.

The sharp fall of the past few days has pulled the relative strength index (RSI) into the oversold zone, indicating that the selling may have been overdone in the short term. This points to a possible consolidation or a relief rally in the near term. The bulls are likely to defend the zone between $30,000 and $28,800 with all their might but the recovery is likely to face stiff resistance in the zone between $33,670 and $34,886. If the price turns down from this zone aggressively, it will suggest that the sentiment remains negative and traders are selling at higher levels.

That could increase the possibility of a break below $28,800. If that happens, the pair may enter a capitulation phase and drop to $25,000 and later to $20,000. On the upside, the 20-day EMA is the key level to keep an eye on.

If the price rises and maintains above this level, it will suggest that bears may be losing their grip. The pair could then rally to $37,000.

Bitcoin Price plunged below $30,000 on May 10 for the first time since July 2021. After the latest decline, Bitcoin has fallen more than 56% from its all-time high of $69,000 made on November 10, 2021.

The scale of the problem can be gauged by the fact that about 322 million tons of toxic and harmful chemicals are produced every year across the European Union (EU) alone.
