Swissblock says Bitcoin’s first momentum ignition failed, with $62,300 still key to range-bound trade

Swissblock said Bitcoin’s first momentum ignition attempt has failed, leaving its previously outlined path tied to the March-to-April price structure still in place. According to the blockchain analytics platform, the momentum indicator briefly moved above the zero line, but the move lacked enough strength to qualify as a full ignition and has now slipped back into what it called the “Transition Area.” The firm said the current consolidation can remain intact as long as Bitcoin holds the $62,300 to $62,500 range and the momentum indicator stays inside that transition zone. In Swissblock’s view, a failed ignition by itself is not unusual. The more important signal is whether Bitcoin breaks below the Transition Area. If that zone is lost, the asset would move out of its current consolidation structure and face the risk of falling back toward a capitulation phase.

Bitcoin Volatility Compresses to 3.8% as Analyst Flags Impending Big Move

According to a PANews report on Aug. 12, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. said bitcoin's volatility has compressed to 3.8%, one of the lowest readings in nearly two years. The Bollinger Band width, which was still in double-digit territory in early July, has narrowed sharply since then. The ADX indicator, a gauge of trend strength, has dropped to 11, close to the lowest levels seen in recent years. Adler believes the market is currently in a tight consolidation phase with no clear directional bias. Based on historical patterns, extremely low volatility like this tends to be short-lived, and a substantial price move often follows. However, the direction of that move remains unknown at this stage. The analyst further noted that ADX is far below the 25 threshold typically used to identify an active trend, which means there are no active bullish or bearish signals right now. To break out of the consolidation, the BBR would need to expand from its compressed state, while ADX climbs above 25 and a clear directional signal emerges. Until such conditions appear, the risk of false breakouts will persist.

Jiang Zhuoer Warns Bitcoin's Calm Could Be a Pause, Not a Bottom

Jiang Zhuoer has issued a warning about Bitcoin's current market state. In a post on X, he said the market is displaying a combination of 'insufficient losses and low volatility,' and argued that traders should not easily bet on the idea that this is an unprecedented 'calm bottom.' Instead, he believes it is more likely a 'breathing phase' during the process of searching for a bottom. He pointed to history: during the 2018 bear market, Bitcoin repeatedly tested support near $6,000, and the market widely regarded that level as an 'iron bottom.' Yet after roughly two and a half months of sideways trading between $6,000 and $7,000, the price eventually fell to around $3,000. Jiang noted that Bitcoin is now consolidating between $60,000 and $70,000 for nearly two months, which he sees as similar to the 2018 $6,000 stage. His warning is that investors should be cautious about the risk of further downside even if the near-term price action looks stable. A flat range, in his view, does not necessarily mean a floor has been set. The 2018 example shows how a widely accepted support level can eventually break. Jiang therefore advises against treating the current quiet spell as proof that the worst is over.

Bitcoin Nears Fifth Pivot Point, Analyst Killa Warns of Possible De-Risking

On August 6, well-known analyst Killa said in a post that Bitcoin has rallied early this month as he anticipated, and the asset is now approaching the 'fifth pivot point' — a level he says deserves close attention. Over the past roughly 18 months, taking the opposite side of the prevailing market narrative during this phase has repeatedly captured counter-moves of about 3% to 4%, he noted. If that historical pattern continues to hold, BTC could see some partial de-risking behavior after passing this pivot point. Killa, however, warned that last time price did drop as expected, but because Bitcoin was stuck in a complex range, the move never became a clean one-way decline. Instead, the market kept consolidating until the next pivot point. He said historical tendencies still point toward contrarian trading, but the current environment is complex, with price structure and timing carrying equal weight.

Luno to Cut About 20% of Global Staff as Automation Reshapes Its Operating Model

Crypto exchange Luno is cutting about one-fifth of its workforce worldwide, according to comments chief executive James Lanigan gave to Bloomberg on Tuesday. Lanigan did not disclose how many roles will be affected, but said the company has made material investments in automation and wider operational improvements over the past year. He said new internal tools are changing the resources needed to run the business, allowing Luno to move to a leaner structure. The company, owned by Digital Currency Group and based in London, has 16 million users across Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. The latest reduction marks Luno’s second major workforce cut in recent years, after a 35% layoff round in January 2023 tied to what it then described as an extremely difficult year for the crypto market. Luno is also reshaping its business mix. The exchange is pushing to grow its business-to-business arm, where lenders, fintech companies and telecom firms can offer crypto products under their own brands using Luno’s liquidity, wallet infrastructure and compliance rails. At the same time, it is targeting non-U.S. stablecoins in emerging markets and expanding institutional settlement services aimed at lowering the cost of moving money across borders. The move comes during a broader stretch of layoffs and consolidation across crypto firms.
