Consequently, bearish sentiment has strengthened across both spot and derivatives markets. Market participants now monitor whether Bitcoin can stabilize above critical support or extend its correction toward lower levels. Technical indicators currently favor sellers as Bitcoin trades beneath the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day exponential moving averages. Moreover, the rejection near the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement around $79,000 reinforced bearish control. The current structure suggests traders remain…

The scale up of STRC and SATA has drawn in many detractors. Recently Onramp published a paper highlighting some issues of Digital Credit. There were some errors and the paper was clearly AI-generated in most places.
