Evidence suggests crypto’s role in terrorism remains relatively minor: “It has not yet become a primary means of terror financing.” We’re living today “amidst an explosion of risk related to fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and data privacy,” said United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in February — and she specifically cited cryptocurrencies as a “tool to finance terrorism.” Yellen appeared to be flagging an important new turn in the war against terror, and it begged some questions: Is crypto in the hands of terrorists a real, present danger to governments and society? If so, should the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry be worried? Recent evidence suggests that crypto’s role as an enabler of terrorism globally remains relatively minor.

Whale clusters suggest that this key Bitcoin level can trigger an explosive rally

Bitcoin whale clusters show $57,046 and $60,045 are the crucial support and resistance levels in the short term. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to break the $60,000 resistance level after more than a week of ranging. Whale clusters show that $57,046 and $60,045 are the crucial support and resistance areas in the short term.  In other words, the probability of a strong breakout in the foreseeable future would increase substantially if Bitcoin stays above $57,046 and continues to test $60,000 resistance. Why whale clusters are important for Bitcoin Whale clusters form when high-net-worth investors buy or sell Bitcoin at a certain price and do not move their holdings thereafter. As such, a whale cluster support typically serves as a strong macro support area for Bitcoin because whales tend to buy more when BTC falls to a level where they initially bought BTC. On the flip side, a whale cluster resistance area would likely hold up as a sell area because whales are more likely to wait until their breakeven price to sell their positions. According to researchers at Whalemap, the two key resistance levels for Bitcoin in the near term are $60,045 and $61,062.

Glassnode: $47k showed strongest on-chain support since BTC broke $11k

Approximately 6.5% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply moved on-chain while the markets found support at $47k, representing “one of the largest on-chain BTC accumulation levels” ever. On-chain crypto analytics firm Glassnode has reported significant on-chain support was found for BTC at the roughly $47,000 level, describing the event as the largest on-chain support identified since Bitcoin broke above $11,000 in late 2020. According to a March 8 report from Glassnode, approximately 1.2 million Bitcoin were moved on-chain as BTC’s price traded between $45,500 to $48,900 after bouncing off a local low near $45,000 last week. Glassnode CTO Rafael Schultze-Kraft noted that roughly 6.5% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply moved on-chain as support was established. This support is holding nicely.And it got stronger! We now have a wall of 1.2M $BTC that moved on-chain between $46.6k and $48.6k.That's 6.5% (!) of the circulating supply.I'd be surprised if we go below anytime soon.I was long at <$50k, and am long now anyways.#Bitcoin https://t.co/eXcOhSmzbF pic.twitter.com/Gj3TFHVADW— Rafael Schultze-Kraft (@n3ocortex) March 7, 2021 While Glassnode suggested the large Bitcoin movements could be indicative of accumulation, the firm acknowledged the spike in on-chain activity could also be attributed to sellers racing to get their coins onto exchanges: “An important question we must ask is whether this volume on-chain is associated with accumulation, or is it instead a rush for the exits by sellers.” However, the report’s authors noted that the number of Bitcoin held on exchanges has continued its recent trend of decline, with 32,500 BTC being withdrawn from centralized platforms this past week.
