Bitcoin managed to venture beyond the resistance of $7,200 in the late hours on Monday and is trading for just under $7,300 at the time of publishing. This is making the optimists in the community conclude that bulls are totally in control of the market now and the coast is clear until the next major resistance around $8,000.
Amid this positive outlook, however, one analyst is claiming that miner capitulation is happening subtly and could soon take a toll on the market. More on that and other important news from the past 24 hours in today’s cryptocurrency news roundup for April 6.

Miner Capitulations on the Rise?

BeInCrypto reported a few months back how the 2020 Bitcoin Halving could spell the doom for older mining rigs. Fast forward to April 2020, and there are early signs of that happening already, according to some analysts. With mining likely to become increasingly unprofitable for a good chunk of miners out there, odds are reasonably high that many of them will call it a day — but not before dumping their holdings As miners are among the most influential forces in the Bitcoin ecosystem, when they start selling more in relation to other stakeholders, it will likely signal further capitulation and some sort of ensuing volatility.

Did Coinbase Just Sell 42,000 BTC for $0.18?

COVID-19 a Blessing in Disguise for Digital Cash Revolution, Says Deutsche Bank Researcher

Many central bank governors have already highlighted the potential threat of paper money as a risk in spreading the Coronavirus. While it is hard to state an exact figure, there are varying estimates that suggest that the COVID-19 virus can survive on paper money anywhere between a few hours, up to a few days. Marion Laboure, a researcher for Deutsche Bank, has co-written a paper suggesting that the pandemic is likely to accelerate the already heightened interest in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC).

Will Binance Coin’s Triple-Bottom Reverse its Bearish Trend?

The BNB price is trading very close to the major support area found at ₿0.0019. This area acted as resistance in 2018, before the price broke out at the beginning of 2019 and flipped it as support. The price has thrice reached this level, creating a long lower-wick in the last movement, a sign of buying pressure. Read the Full Analysis

Bitcoin Proving to Be More Fungible than any other Asset

Bitcoin is often praised for being a deflationary currency with a clear limit on how much BTC can be in circulation. While this is undoubtedly its greatest strength, it also has another aspect that sets it apart from other asset classes — it is far more fungible having the ability to be traded 24/7.

  • The price is following a long-term ascending support line and possibly trading inside an ascending wedge.
