Bitcoin analyst who called 2018 bottom warns 'bad winter' may see $10K BTC

The winter of 2022-2023 is more than a headache for politicians and EU citizens — crypto hodlers worldwide may see a tangible impact, says Decentrader's Filbfilb.

Bitcoin analyst who called 2018 bottom warns 'bad winter' may see $10K BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) could dive another 50% from current levels if the upcoming winter proves a major test for Europe.

That was the conclusion of a veteran crypto market analyst this week, with BTC/USD failing to reclaim $20,000 support.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Filbfilb, creator of trading suite Decentrader, forecast a potential BTC price bottom coming in at as low  $10,000 in 2022.

As the European energy crisis intensifies, risk assets face a major test, he believes, and the extent to which crypto suffers depends considerably on how diplomacy can win out to avert a major emergency into 2023.

The figures are not just pie in the sky; at the height of the last halving cycle’s bear market in 2018, Filbfilb perfectly timed the market bottom as BTC/USD put in a floor of $3,100.

Insiders’ guide to real-life crypto OGs: Part 1

Crypto OGs — slang for Original Gangsters — have acquired almost a mythical and godly reputation in an industry populated with libertarians, anti-government rebels, innovators, get-rich-quick scammers, hackers and degen investors with rampant gambling addictions and toxic social media behavior. 

Who are these OGs exactly? Unlike the rich and powerful in the traditional finance and conventional tech sector, crypto OGs are often protected by a layer of decentralized anonymity in a particularly wild corner of cyberspace. Who deserves this mythical label? The year they got into crypto? Their current net worth? Their lifestyle? Their impact on the industry?

How can you separate the randos and wannabes from the OGs? Without further ado, here’s our guide to spotting OGs at any networking party, written with insider tips from real-life OGs.

Crypto OGs story

1. The shadowy super coders and/or anon founders

These are the OGs that look underwhelmingly and deceptively average.

In New York and San Francisco, they’re the ones going around like starved college students, burying their heads under a hoodie and nodding to electronic beats from their headsets on a subway train. In Singapore, they are the ones blending in seamlessly with any given “uncles” at Kopitiams, wearing nondescript shabby shirts, slippers and Bermuda shorts.

What the Ethereum Merge means for the blockchain’s layer-2 solutions

Experts share their views on how the Merge would impact Ethereum’s scalability solutions in the form of layer-2 chains.

Will Ethereum keep rallying versus Bitcoin? ETH price technicals hint at 60% gains ahead

Ether could enter the pattern's breakout stage in the days leading up to the highly-anticipated Merge.

Will Ethereum keep rallying versus Bitcoin? ETH price technicals hint at 60% gains ahead

Ethereum's native token Ether (ETH) shows the potential to log major gains versus Bitcoin (BTC) with the ETH/BTC pair nearing yearly highs. 

Ether paints classic bullish reversal pattern

The bullish cues come from a classic technical pattern called the inverse head and shoulders, which develops when the price forms three troughs below a common support level known as neckline. The middle trough, or head, is deeper than the other two, called the shoulders. 

An inverse head and shoulders setup resolves after the price breaks above the neckline while accompanying an increase in trading volume. As a rule of technical analysis, its profit target comes at a length equal to the maximum distance between the head's lowest point and the neckline. 

So far, Ether has painted a similar pattern, and it now awaits breakout above the neckline, as illustrated in the chart below.

If ETH's price climbs decisively above the neckline, then the Ethereum token's upside target in 2022 will be around 0.136 BTC, up approximately 60% from current price levels.
