The Most Important Daily
Data for Digital Assets

Daily Updates from FSInsightJanuary 13, 2022
  • The bounce in the crypto market slowed overnight, with the overall market increasing by 0.6% to reach $2.1T. Bitcoin and Ethereum increased to $43.7k (up 1.1%) and $3.4k (up 1.6%), respectively. Bitcoin's hash rate has nearly recovered to its ATH after civil unrest in Kazakhstan, the world's second-largest mining hub after the US, led to a forced power outage and the consequential shut down of 11% of the global hash rate. Sources report that almost 90% of its mining capacity is back online, working to secure the Bitcoin network.
  • Switzerland is ready to integrate a CBDC into its economy following the successful completion of a test run. The Swiss are not issuing a CBDC from the central bank into retail accounts. Instead, the country is working to implement a digital token infrastructure through which digital cash tokens can be exchanged for tokens of other financial assets like stocks. This infrastructure is expected to increase efficiency and reduce the costs of trading assets while aiding regulatory organizations with the transparency and traceability of distributed ledgers.
  • Wikipedia released a statement claiming that it might stop accepting crypto donations due to ESG concerns. The free online encyclopedia currently accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash, all energy-intensive Proof-of-Work consensus protocols. Other concerns raised were that accepting crypto donations might be seen as an endorsement of the crypto industry, which some contributors believe discredits Wikipedia. An editor vote will be held in the near future on whether to refuse crypto donations.
Daily Technical Strategy

Following a nearly perfect test of support at last September '21 lows, Bitcoin has begun a mild rally this week, which similar to other tokens, has carried prices up to just below its first real test of resistance on this bounce. Daily $BTCUSD charts show two key areas of technical importance coming together just above: First, the area near prior lows from mid-December which lies at $45,478. Second, the downtrend from November also intersects near this same area, giving it more importance as an important first test on its bounce from earlier this week. Overall, climbing above $46k, while early from a cyclical perspective, would suggest the start of a more meaningful bounce. Until then, it's thought that the zone from $45.5-$46k represents good resistance on this week's rally and should bring about a stalling out on this first move off the lows. Any close back under $41,284, Tuesday's lows, would bring about a move back to new monthly lows, so this is an important area of support that will need to hold in the days ahead on pullbacks.
