BTC price sees new $20K showdown — 5 things to know in Bitcoin this week

Old all-time highs from 2017 come back to haunt Bitcoin as BTC price action fails to see relief this "Septembear."

BTC price sees new $20K showdown — 5 things to know in Bitcoin this week

Bitcoin (BTC) starts the second week of September still trying to cement $20,000 as support as the bears clinch control.

The largest cryptocurrency emerges from a sideways weekend with a weekly close almost exactly at the $20,000 mark — but that significant psychological level is already struggling.

Expectations already favored further downside during this month — the so-called “Septembear” phenomenon, which normally sees BTC price lose ground in September — and so far, there has been little evidence that this year will be different to most.

BTC/USD is down 1.5% in September 2022, and while the losses are modest, there are plenty of potential catalysts on the horizon.

Macroeconomic turmoil remains the name of the game in much of the world, the emphasis increasingly shifting to Europe as the energy crisis unfolds and the euro reaches twenty-year lows versus the United States dollar.

While Ethereum devs promised no downtime during The Merge, one of the most anticipated Ethereum upgrades, members of the crypto community decided to take proactive measures to ensure the safety of investor funds. In this effort, crypto exchange FTX announced to halt all Ether (ETH) trades on various blockchains until the September upgrade concludes.

The Merge upgrade will permanently transition the Ethereum blockchain from proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism — aimed at reducing energy consumption and introducing sharding capabilities.

According to Ethereum developers, the Merge is designed to transition to PoS with zero downtime owing to the terminal total difficulty (TTD), which will ensure the transition based on the total mining power that goes into building a chain. Despite the explanation, FTX chose to suspend “deposits and withdrawals until the Merge is finished and networks are stable.”
