The Bulls Are back!

Introduction

Not that we want to get ahead of ourself but yes, seeing some bullish price action in the crypto markets feels good for a change. Bitcoin’s price jump has been painted on the wall for many weeks, only suppressed by tumbling stock markets and regulation FUD.

Market Watch

• With prices having been in limbo for quite a few days, it’s easy to get lulled in and look away – but that’s exactly when the action happens! As we pointed out several times, Bitcoin tends to make its moves when the least amount of people expect it…

Rekt Capital @rektcapital

Bitcoin will retrace deep enough to convince you that the Bull Market is over And then it will resume its uptrend $BTC #BTC #Bitcoin

Rekt Capital @rektcapital

#BTC has made it back above the 21-week EMA Well above $BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin

• It’s refreshing to see crypto prices do well on a day when traditional markets are in red territory.

Ansem🃏 @blknoiz06

stocks red & btc up? oh? what happened guys i was told

MacroScope @MacroScope17

BTC up, legacy markets down. The importance of these divergences cannot be overstated. They flash bright red on the screens of every asset manager and trader and solidify BTC as a go-to macro asset on desks globally.

• As confounding that it is that the many bearish September calls came to fruition, we can’t help but feel grateful that October announced itself with a nice pump.

  #Bitcoin ends Q3 with a 25% gain. Let supply shocktober begin.

Rektember is over 📉 Uptober is next 📈

• Do you feel sorry for the millions in shorts being liquidated?

$270M liquidations in an hour say hi to uptober

• From an on-chain perspective, the outlook for the crypto markets looks bright. But don’t get caught up in the FOMO, there are still regulatory storms on the horizon, most likely leading to short-term market dislocations. Technically, a rejection from resistance and a visit to lower levels is still possible on shorter timeframes.

Floor was set but most didn’t believe it. My on-chain floor model rising daily, now above $39K. https://t.co/WKFKRf8ca5

Will Clemente @WClementeIII

BTC floor has been set. Large bids across all major exchanges. BTC came within $1,300 of my on-chain floor model and is still $148,000 from my top model. Do we trade a few thousand $ lower? I couldn’t care less. The asymmetry of being long over the next few months is huge. https://t.co/vognaO0UFn

• Raoul Pal shares his macro outlook for Bitcoin, and let’s say… it’s bullish.

Raoul Pal @RaoulGMI

The Bitcoin long term log chart looks pretty luscious. Who knows if the wedge breaks on first attempt but a consolidation pattern of this magnitude usually leads to a very, very powerful upside move. #BTC

gm to Q4 2021 things are about to get weird 😉🚀🔥♥️🤝🥳

• While we don’t know yet where this Bitcoin move will take us, the playbook to make massive gains is clear: Positioning oneself in the right altcoins which will inevitably follow BTC…

Michaël van de Poppe @CryptoMichNL

#Bitcoin stabilizing. #Altcoins following. That's the recipe.

• We prepared you in the last days to position in the right plays – altcoins that only need stabilization of the markets to gain momentum… MATIC is one of them.

The US Is Not Going to Ban Crypto!

• Has there been a catalyst for the impressive Bitcoin move today? Especially since the stock markets are still heading in the other direction? While we have pointed out an imminent supply squeeze and bullish on-chain metrics for a long time, there has been a major green flag at the regulatory front, easing the fears of many crypto investors:

Bitcoin Magazine @BitcoinMagazine

OFFICIAL: The United States has no intention to ban #Bitcoin and crypto. - Fed Chairman Jerome Powell

• At the same time, we see politicians step in and put a word in for crypto. Who would have imagined that a sitting US congressman would call for Bitcoin as the new gold standard?

Rep. Madison Cawthorn @RepCawthorn

Why do we not use cryptocurrency as the new gold standard?

• Not just Republicans, also some Democrats have jumped on the crypto bandwagon.

As federal agencies struggle to agree on digital asset jurisdiction, state legislators are leading the way on cryptocurrency regulation, and Illinois state Representative Margaret Croke (D-12th district) is the latest example. 

Blockworks @Blockworks_

Illinois will soon vote on a bill that would allow financial companies to hold crypto such as #Bitcoin “The banking industry in Illinois is very excited about this bill, and usually that doesn’t happen,” - State Representative @Croke4Illinois

blockworks.coThis State Representative Is Out to Make Illinois the Next Crypto Hub - BlockworksHouse Bill number 3968 is a digital-assets-focused proposal that would allow financial technology companies in Illinois to hold crypto.

ETF Decision Delayed – Again

• While not the decision we were hoping for, at least the SEC hasn’t rejected the Bitcoin ETF’s just yet. So, we can still be hopeful for an ETF approval later this year…

Banks Jumping into DeFi

• In massive news that makes one forget the regulatory headwinds from the USA for a short time, the third-largest bank of France announced its foray into DeFi.

Turns out it was the future of France all along!

Rune Christensen @RuneKek

Société Générale, the third largest bank in France, just made a collateral onboarding application to Maker for 20 million USD. Backed by EUR bonds, proposed by their blockchain subsidiary.

Terra x Akash

• The recent Columbus-5 upgrade brings the Terra and Akash ecosystems, two favorites of ours, closer together.

Greg Osuri @gregosuri

When @terra_money enables IBC, you'll be able to pay for hosting on @akashnet_ using $UST, making $UST the first stable coin for the decentralized cloud. This will need a minor wrapper but pretty sure @stablekwon and I can put out a small grant for it.

Steve DeFazio @SteveDeFazio

@gregosuri Is this a good idea? - If UST really takes off, allow Akash fees to be paid in UST, and swap them on the back end into Akash to pay providers.
