FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM BANNED IN RUSSIA

A court in Moscow has banned Facebook and Instagram under the “extremism" law.

The decision is subject to immediate execution, so Roskomnadzor has already blocked Facebook and imposed a ban on Instagram, although social networks have partially been blocked before.

According to Russia's Prosecutor General's Office, Facebook and Instagram have:

• ignored the demands to remove “fakes" about Russia's "special operation" in Ukraine
• allowed publication of calls for unsanctioned rallies;
• put both individuals and society as a whole in danger by allowing calls for murder.

The decision does not apply to WhatsApp messenger. There is no penalty prescribed for Russian citizens who will find a way to circumvent the ban.

If this development does harm the value of FB shares, it is unlikely to be critical. On the one hand, the ban may be temporary. On the other hand, FB shares are being supported by a multi-year uptrend line (1).

This may be a good time for a long-term investment. According to TipRanks, most analysts give FB stock a BUY recommendation with an average target price of around $325 (the shares closed yesterday on Nasdaq at 211.49).

To invest in FB, consider enlisting the services of a reliable broker like FXOpen. (https://www.fxopen.com/en/)

CAN QUANTUM COMPUTERS BECOME A DANGER TO THE CRYPTO WORLD?

There is an opinion among crypto investors that quantum computers with unprecedented computing power will be able to pick up access to wallets and bring down the entire cryptocurrency system in the future. How true is that?

Sankar Das Sarma, director of a research center at the University of Maryland, published an article in the MIT Tech Review, suggesting that, while the current state of the technology is an amazing scientific achievement, it is still too far from developing a quantum computer that would be able to cause any problems.

Although Sarma has not sounded the alarm, he noted that a real quantum computer will have applications unimaginable today. Similarly, no one could have predicted that the first transistor, made in 1947, would lead to the invention of laptops and smartphones.

If the threat from quantum computers becomes real, countermeasures will certainly be invented for it. Last month, JP Morgan conducted a study on a blockchain network with QKD key distribution that is resistant to potential quantum computing attacks. Previously, Xx labs launched a blockchain claiming it to be a quantum-resistant and privacy-focused blockchain ecosystem.

Therefore, there is no real threat, at least in the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile, the bitcoin rate is trying to fix above the level of 45.5k. Line B, parallel to line A, is now serving as resistance. Notice the increased volume in recent days (1) and the prominent upper candlestick wicks. If the volumes represent buying from those who decided to join the rally after breaking through the 45.5k level, then this buying did not bring results, which is a bearish sign. Therefore, a downside momentum testing the 45.5k level, or even further lowering the rate before attempting to break through line B, will not come as a surprise.

A short-term bearish scenario is not everyone's concern. Mike Alfred, the founder of BrightScope and Digital Assets Data, tweeted: “If bitcoin ends up worth $4 million, why worry when it once again tests the $44,000 level?”

To invest in cryptocurrency assets, consider enlisting the services of a reliable broker like FXOpen. (https://www.fxopen.com/en/)

ETHUSD and LTCUSD Technical Analysis – 07th APR, 2022

ETHUSD: Double Bottom Pattern Above $3,100

Ethereum failed to continue its bullish momentum last week, and after touching a high of 3578 on April 4th, has started to decline.

Ethereum touched an intraday low of $3,143 in the Asian trading session, and an intraday high of $3,233 in the European trading session today.

We can clearly see a double bottom pattern above the $3,100 handle which is a bullish pattern and signifies the end of a bearish phase and the start of a bullish phase in the markets.

ETH is now trading just above its pivot level of $3,223 and moving in a mildly bullish channel. The price of ETHUSD is now testing its classic resistance level of $3,235 and Fibonacci resistance level of $3,246, after which the path towards $3,400 will get cleared.

The relative strength index is at 44 indicating a WEAK demand for Ethereum and the move towards consolidation.

Both the StochRSI and the Williams percent range are indicating an overbought level which means that the price is due to decline further.

Most of the technical indicators are giving a STRONG BUY market signal.

Some of the moving averages are giving a BUY signal, and we are now looking at the levels of $3,400 to $3,550 in the short-term range.

ETH is now trading below both the 100 hourly and 200 hourly simple moving averages.

• A bullish reversal seen in Ether above the $3,100 mark
• The short-term range appears to be mildly BULLISH
• The daily RSI is near 50 at 53, indicating a NEUTRAL market
• The average true range is indicating LESSER market volatility

Ether: Bullish Reversal Seen Above $3,100


ETHUSD is now moving into a mildly bullish channel with the price trading above the $3,200 handle in the European trading session today.

We saw last week that the bullish move was invalidated above the $3,500 handle, and this week, we are looking at the level of $3,400. If ETH manages to cross and remain above these levels, then we can see $3,500 and $3,600 next week.

Ethereum is now slowly recovering against the US dollar, and we can see the formation of an ascending contraction triangle which means that the prices are due to break out upwards.

ETHUSD is now facing its immediate resistance levels of $3,337 and $3,417, after which we will see a linear progression towards $3,600.

The key support levels to watch are $3,175 and $3,153, and the prices of ETHUSD need to remain above these levels for the bullish trend to continue.

ETH has lost -4.00% with a price change of -133.99$ in the past 24hrs, and has a trading volume of 22.874 billion USD.

We can see a 8.29% decrease in the total trading volume in the last 24 hrs, which appears to be normal.

The Week Ahead

Last week, we saw Ethereum decline from its highs of $3,579 to the low of $3,143, but now we can see that the prices have entered into a consolidation phase above $3,200.

If the price of ETHUSD remains above $3,200, we may see a linear progression towards the level of $3,400 and $3,500 this week.

The immediate short-term outlook for Ether has turned mildly BULLISH; the medium-term outlook has turned neutral; and the long-term outlook for Ether is NEUTRAL in present market conditions.

This week, Ether is expected to move in a range between $3,200 and $3,400, and next week, Ether is expected to enter into a consolidation phase above the level of $3,400.

On-Chain Metrics

We can see that the number of active Ethereum addresses are increasing, and it also points to an increase in the price of ETH next week.

The simple moving average (14-day) of the active receiving addresses also suggests that more buyers are now coming back into the markets, which has led to an increase in the number of Ethereum transactions


Technical Indicators:

The Stoch (9,6): at 74.29 indicating a BUY

The average directional Change (14-day): at 54.71 indicating a BUY

The commodity channel index (14-day): at 74.31 indicating a BUY

The ultimate oscillator: at 62.37 indicating a BUY
