Technical Analysis of BTC/USD for September 14, 2021

Crypto Industry news:

Bitcoin miners have officially produced their 700,000th block, an important milestone for the network.

It took Bitcoin less than two years to produce 100,000 consecutive blocks after a 600,000 block was excavated on October 18, 2019. At that time, the price of BTC was less than $ 8,000. Today, one Bitcoin is worth over $ 45,500.

On average, new blocks are generated every ten minutes, although this time is influenced by mining difficulty, which is adjusted approximately every two weeks. This is a process of changing how difficult it is for miners to mine digital assets. At the current rate of block production, the last Bitcoin will be mined around 2140.

Twitter celebrated the milestone by citing the late Hal Finney, one of Bitcoin's early pioneers and prime candidate for being Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of the technology. Finney died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2014.

Bitcoin has been programmed as a self-regulating market with a hard-coded monetary policy that doesn't depend on any third parties. Unlike, for example, the US Federal Reserve, which can freely influence the size and rate of growth of the money supply, Bitcoin maintains a hard limit on the supply and cannot be created without the huge energy input of miners.

Although Bitcoin has been under attack for its environmental impact, the network's power consumption is a small fraction of the total energy consumption. Efforts to integrate clean energy into the mining process have largely proved successful, with some estimates saying that US Bitcoin mining is powered by more than 50% renewable energy.

Technical Market Outlook

The BTC/USD pair has failed to rally above the level of $46,317, so the road towards $50k is still closed after the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made again. Moreover, the yesterday's Doji candlestick did not help bears or bulls to make a decision either. The bears have control over the market and are pushing the price lower towards the lows of September 7th located at $43,159. Any violation of this level would be a bearish signal. The nearest technical support is seen at the level of $44,219. Only a sustained breakout above the level of $46,719 would change the short-term outlook to more neutral or bullish.

Weekly Pivot Points:

WR3 - $59,391

WR2 - $56,198

WR1 - $49,661

Weekly Pivot - $46,351

WS1 - $40,043

WS2 - $36,782

WS3 - $30,164

Trading Outlook:

According to the long-term charts the bulls are still in control of the Bitcoin market, so the up trend continues and the next long term target for Bitcoin is seen at the level of $70,000. The next mid-term target is seen at the level of $59,506. This scenario is valid as long as the level of $30,000 is clearly broken on the daily time frame chart (daily candle close below $30k).
