Following the steep corrections seen in late July, the Bitcoin market made a modest recovery in the past week, rising by 2.73% according to data from CoinMarketCap. However, another rejection amidst this price resurgence forces the premier cryptocurrency to now trade within the $116,000 price region. While the crypto market awaits the token’s next move, cumulative trading activity signals potential for a major price surge to a new all-time high.

Golden Ratio In Sight: Bitcoin Targets $131K After Volume Shelf Hold

In an X post on August 8, popular financial market analyst Donald Dean shares an interesting bullish price prediction on the Bitcoin market. Based on the existence of a volume shelf on the BTCUSDT daily chart, Dean tips the crypto market leader to soon attain a $131,000 market valuation.

By way of explanation, a volume shelf refers to a price level where a significant amount of trading activity/volume has occurred. In the chart above, this level of trading is indicated by the horizontal bars on the right side of the chart. A volume shelf tends to act as a strong resistance or support zone because many traders are assumed to have bought or sold at this level.

According to Donald Dean’s Analysis, Bitcoin is currently hovering around a volume shelf between $116,000 – $118,000, which has been identified as a potential launch area. If Bitcoin can consolidate decisively above this range, it suggests that this level has enough buying interest to potentially act as a springboard for the next leg up.

Interestingly, Dean predicts that this accumulation phase would provide the momentum needed to propel BTC toward the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level, a key technical milestone known as the “golden ratio.” This level, positioned around $131,000, represents the next major price target for the Bitcoin market, signaling a potential 12.93% gain on the present market prices.

DeFi Protocol Sushi slashes Lending Platform: TVL drops to $455M

Image
Prominent DeFi platform Sushi ended the year by closing down two of its wings following low interest from the public. However, the platform also noted that it would lay focus on the decentralized exchange or DEX products. In a recent Twitter thread, Matthew Lilley, the chief technology officer of Sushi revealed that lending platform Kashi and token launchpad MISO would be shutting their operations. We have the plan to launch successors of these products in the future once we have the resources to dedicate product teams towards them, but believe that requires focusing entirely on the breadwinner at the time being which is inarguably the DEX. 22/24 — I'm Software 🦇🔊 (@MatthewLilley) December 28, 2022 This focus would instead be shifted onto DEX products as mentioned earlier.
