Here’s What’s Going On"},"content":{"rendered":"

Yesterday’s news that one of the largest US exchanges Kraken will have to pay a $30 million fine to the US Securities and Exchange Commission and shut down its crypto-staking product for US customers has caused a lot of uncertainty, including in the Bitcoin market.<\/p>\n

In recent days, it has become increasingly apparent that U.S. authorities are pursuing a strict agenda against crypto companies in the wake of the FTX collapse. In particular, the US authorities’ efforts are targeting the banking sector, which provides the on- and off-ramp for exchanges, and stablecoins.<\/p>\n

Therefore, even though crypto-staking has nothing to do with Bitcoin at first glance, there is concern that centralized exchanges in the U.S. are facing major challenges that may also affect the Bitcoin market.<\/p>\n

In this respect, it is not surprising that the Bitcoin price has lost support at $22,370. The support level had been tested five times since January 23. Yesterday’s news could not be absorbed by the Bitcoin bulls.<\/p>\n

For the moment, BTC reached a low of $21,633, where the next region of support can be found at $21,600 to $21,500. If the support also breaks, the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) could provide the most important support, which is currently at $21,383.<\/p>\n
