bitcoin Sees Golden Cross At Last

At long last, Bitcoin (BTC) has printed a golden cross on its one-day chart, whereas its 50-day moving average has crossed over its 200-day, signifying that bears might be finally be biting the dust. This has come as BTC has surmounted $5,600, the asset’s highest level since late 2018. While some have claimed that this cross isn’t anything to really write home about, others are convinced the cryptocurrency market is poised to head higher.

In a recent interview with trade publication CCN, Naeem Aslam, the Chief Market Analyst at ThinkMarkets, remarked that BTC may be poised to head higher. The analysts, who frequents industry media outlets, remarked that “technicals are fully supportive” of bulls, meaning that Bitcoin could see $6,000 “or even tough $6,500” in the near future. He looks to the fact that BTC has seen lower lows in this cycle, held critical support, and is looking to past a key resistance level to back this cheery call. Aslam added that with Nasdaq hinting that it is on the verge of launching Bitcoin and cryptocurrency futures, coupled with the fact that shorts are likely soon to get squeezed, he is convinced that the ongoing rally could continue.

The ThinkMarkets representative isn’t the first to have foreseen BTC passing $6,000 in the coming weeks. As reported by Ethereum World News previously, Crypto Rand postulated that BTC may have entered a “bullish pennant” pattern, marked by a tightening range and higher lows. If the pennant plays out as technical analysis bibles expect, Bitcoin will soon see a massive breakout higher, potentially “over the $6,000 region” as Rand explains. This is notable, as the analyst somewhat called BTC’s previous breakout past $4,200 earlier this year.

Rand isn’t the only one sure that $6,000 is inbound. Lisa Edwards, the sister of Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV) supporter Craig Wright (yes, the Dr. Craig Wright), recently claimed that Bitcoin’s logarithmic weekly chart is currently expressing “a strong bullish divergence and bull flag.” With this, Edwards determined that a move to $6,250 could come to fruition in the short-term.

Long-Term Bullish On Crypto’s Prospects

Regardless of short-term price action, Aslam has made it clear that he is decidedly bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. In the same interview, he claimed that as per his maths, BTC could see $100,000 in the future. This is similar to how he phrased it in a ThinkMarkets’ blog post, in which he stated that “long-term investors” shouldn’t worry about the short-term price action of these markets.

Echoing comments from Alec Ziupsnys, he then explained that “catching the extreme low (bottom)” is “extremely arduous,” adding that more likely than not, the so-called “crypto winter” is coming to an end. He writes that the next bull rally in the cryptocurrency asset class will likely push BTC a minimum of five times higher than its previous all-time high, meaning his low-end target is $100,000. His high-end target, on the other hand, is $400,000, as Aslam explains that this would mean history would have repeated itself (2017’s Bitcoin run was from $1,000 to $20,000 — a 20x return). It was elaborated:

This number is not a fool’s paradise. $400,000 is a simple math calculation: approximate percentage projection of the price which we experienced during the last bull run.

Blockchain & Artificial Intelligence: Money of the Future?

Both artificial intelligence and blockchain technology have made major advances in the past few years. Could they be combined to bring us the money of the future?


Artificial Intelligence

Recently, many advances have been made in the field of artificial intelligence. In the past few years, we saw artificial intelligence beat one of the world’s best players at Go, save drivers from car crashes, and predict the outcome of the US Presidential Election.

Google Home & Amazon Echo

Many companies, both established market leaders and new startups, have started to incorporate artificial intelligence into mainstream products. AI technology can be found in voice and home assistants, such as Siri, Google Home/Assistant, and the Amazon Echo. These companies use artificial intelligence in different ways, including making predictions, voice recognition and image recognition.

AI in Finance

More and more, financial firms are turning to machines to replace humans at jobs that they have done for decades. Many wealth management firms already employ robots and artificial intelligence software to trade and invest for their customers. This is because computers are much quicker than humans at competing in a market where nanoseconds count. A slight delay could mean an entirely different outcome.

This type of trading activity isn’t just limited to traditional financial markets. Artificial intelligence is also starting to be used in bitcoin and altcoin markets. This is extremely prevalent in altcoin markets wheremany bots and AI trading software are used to take advantage of price fluctuations.

However, this isn’t the only use case for artificial intelligence technology in financial and bitcoin applications.

Mobile Banking for the Unbanked

One new platform called Humaniq aims to bring banking services to those who lack access, especially for people in developing countries.

The platform is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain as a variety of smart contracts; but with a twist. Instead of requiring ID/Passport Verification like most bitcoin exchanges, the aim is to simply verify a user’s identity using artificial intelligence.

Users will be prompted to verify their identity when they start using the Humaniq system. However, only simple tasks need to be completed for this. Identity Verification would only consist of doing something very simple, such as taking a quick picture of themselves, or by reading a short piece of text. Voice and Image Recognition technology powered by artificial intelligence would then be able to quickly confirm their identity without any hassle or delay.

This could potentially be a huge step forward for citizens in developing countries integrating themselves into the global economy. Seeing that it’s currently estimated that there are more than 2.5 billion unbanked in the world, many stand to benefit from such a platform.
