Bitcoin on Wednesday moved slightly upward as traders remained puzzled about its next big price rally.<\/p>\n

The bitcoin-to-dollar exchange rate<\/a> surged by as much as 0.80 percent to establish an intraday high of $7,263.31. The move uphill accompanied a moderate rise in volume.<\/p>\n

The conformity between price and volume showed traders’ inclination to retest the strong resistance area lurking above $7,500. Nevertheless, the possibility of bitcoin jumping above the purpled ceiling (in the chart below) remains meager given the prevailing bearish trend.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the bitcoin price has stabilized above $6,500<\/a>, a support level it established during its last move downhill. Bears, for now, are waiting for whales to open extended short positions towards the redded area.<\/p>\n

Bulls too are looking for bigwigs to launch giant long positions to close above the purpled area. It’s a classic wait-and-watch approach for small traders.<\/p>\n

Bullish Calls<\/h2>\n

The price consolidation also comes at the time when Bakkt, an Intercontinental Exchange-backed digital assets platform, has announced two new bitcoin products for institutional investors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The announcement does not promise to bring large capital into the bitcoin market. Bakkt’s decision to expand its bitcoin operations certainly builds a bridge between an emerging cryptocurrency industry and established Wall Street.<\/p>\n

Both sides now wait for stronger regulatory standards for cryptocurrencies as the global investors run out of reliable safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n

Central banks may benefit from buying Bitcoin and gold in addition to their stablecoin and payments research. The introduction of new payment rails may not hedge for catastrophic failures in the underlying money itself. Bitcoin and gold may be the hedge central banks truly need. https:\/\/t.co\/Wg5kTrME7T<\/a><\/p>\n
