Fundamental Development
The Brazilian Stock Exchange, B3, is set to launch its first official crypto-related product within the next six months, André Milanez confirmed in a conference call on Monday.Milanez, who is the group’s chief financial officer, said B3 plans to launch “Bitcoin futures in the next three to six months." The details of the product are still sketchy as Milanez did not disclose if the exchange will offer Bitcoin futures trading directly or form a partnership to offer the service.In January, Jochen Mielke de Lima, director of information technology at B3, said that the stock exchange would launch products offering crypto exposure this year, including Bitcoin and Ethereum futures. We have around 30 national crypto exchanges, apart from the international ones that operate here. We could offer a service to facilitate and standardize their operations. I believe it has something to explore in providing custody services and in the settlement process. Furthermore, B3 has other crypto-based products in its arsenal, including a platform for crypto trading, asset tokenization, and cryptocurrency custody.
Short Term Technical View: On daily time frame chart Bitcoin is trading below 200 simple moving averages. Bitcoin is now trading above the $30,000 level and the 100 & 50 hourly simple moving average. If it breaks $30,500 resistance zone then it can show upside movement near $30,900 level. Right now BTC is consolidating near $30,400 range.
Alternative Scenario: If BTC fails to break resistance zone $30,500 level then the first major support is near the $29,700 level. A downside break and close below the $29,700 support might start a major decline near $29,400 support level.
