Midnight: A new privacy and data protection protocol on CardanoProtecting personal data has long been debated in the crypto community. The Midnight protocol, powered by Cardano, will create new conditions for online interaction. It can grant access to regulators while maintaining user privacy.
Midnight: A new privacy and data protection protocol on Cardano
With the advent of Web2, it became possible to create social networks where people can freely communicate and share information. But these platforms are owned by centralized companies, which can expose users to restrictions or surveillance, and confidential information and personal data can be "leaked" to the network. Web3 can create an environment without censorship or control over user data. But the implementation of decentralized projects either reveals too much information about users or leads to an overly closed system.
Here's the dilemma: by making payments on the Internet using cryptocurrencies, users can thus remain anonymous by not providing their personal data to third parties. On the other hand, the more anonymous the digital process is, the more negatively the regulatory authorities treat it due to lack of control. And to solve this dilemma, IOG is set to launch a new platform called Midnight.
Midnight is a blockchain that helps protect personal and commercially sensitive data. Such a solution will be fundamentally new in online interaction: users can decide what information they want to disclose.
Midnight will operate as a sidechain on the Cardano blockchain and inherit its security and decentralization.This will significantly expand the usefulness of Cardano, as it will be possible to create an extensive network with secure data.
The platform will enable commercial companies to exchange critical information directly with each other. For example, they can transfer financial data without fear of leaks or disclosing confidential information. And private users will be able to safely share their personal data on the Internet and not be afraid that they will be misused.
Midnight will make it easier for developers to create smart contracts than ever before. In this case, you can use various popular programming languages, starting with Typescript.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, explained the paradox of having a privacy law and a disclosure law at the same time:
"Every time you engage in a regulated business, there’s a privacy requirement because a regulated business requires you to give away some personally identifiable information and there’s a privacy law on the other side that says you have to keep it secret. The problem is, if you try to do that in a blockchain setting, your private information becomes public to everybody."
Midnight solves this problem with several new features. An important component will be private smart contracts to help ensure regulatory compliance. Another feature would be that blockchain relies on zero-knowledge proof. It is a form of encryption and transaction verification that allows one party to prove to another that they know something without revealing the information itself.
To put it very simply, it can be explained as follows:
Imagine a cave where there is one entrance, which is divided into two paths: A and B. These two paths are connected by a closed door with a code phrase. Bob wants to check if Alice knows the code for the door. But Alice wants to keep the code from Bob.
To do this, they make a check: Bob is standing outside the cave, and Alice goes inside and takes one of two paths, and Bob needs to know which one. Next, Bob asks Alice to come back using one of the paths chosen at random. If Alice took path A, and Bob asked to exit using path B, then Alice must open the door using the passphrase. This way, she will prove that she knows it without revealing the phrase itself.
Simply put, a platform can provide access to regulators while maintaining user privacy.
Midnight is currently in development. It is worth noting that the new blockchain will have its own DUST security token, and with the help of anonymous smart contracts, the level of privacy will be transferred to the user's hands. And according to Charles Hoskinson, Midnight will replace existing confidential coins, such as Zcash and Monero.
In conclusion, Midnight is vital to Cardano's global goal of creating secure blockchain technologies. This protocol aims to solve one of the main problems in the crypto community that worries many users. This again proves that the developers remain true to their philosophy and values: making a product for people while preserving their rights and freedoms.
"Midnight – designed for developers, built for humanity."

Axie Infinity Token Unlock (January 2023)The chart highlights the price performance of Axie Infinity (AXS) in the past couple of days amid the token unlocking. It could be clearly noticed that before the token unlocking actually took place, there was positive sentiment for the AXS token. However, after the unlocking, there has been significant selling pressure which brought the price level down from its current year ATH of approximately $14.00 to the current recorded price of $11.20.
This might indicate that Axie Infinity is currently facing the second and unwanted case of token unlocking explained earlier. This means there is less demand for the token as compared to its circulating supply in the market.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewThe world’s largest cryptocurrency has maintained its positive momentum since the start of the year and generated approximately 36.83% YTD returns.
On the chart, two areas are marked representing the resistance zone and sustainability zone, respectively. The current price action of BTC suggests that it will be targeting a positive breakout above the resistance zone placed above the 0.786 FIB level.
However, the bullish engulfing candle which led to the breakout above 0.618 FIB level suggests that Bitcoin needs to spend some time in the sustainability region to formulate potential support zones. Having another bullish momentum on the current build-up might lead to volatile profit booking momentum which might deteriorate previously gained returns.
The technical indicators including MACD and RSI are sustaining on bullish levels as RSI is in the overbought region for most of 2023. The MACD continues to form green bars on the histogram.
Overall, the resistance level for BTC will be at $23K and $25K. Whereas, if profit booking momentum comes into action, support levels can be placed at $21K and $20K.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewBTC had a stellar start in 2023 as it broke above the crucial psychological mark of $20K. The YTD gain is now almost 25% while the weekly gain is around 20%.
On the chart, Bitcoin broke above the 0.5 FIB level, entering the resistance zone present between 0.5 FIB level to 0.618 FIB level. The key level to watch out for is $21K and sustainability above it. If the price level can maintain sustainability above the level, we could expect more positive momentum in the near term.
On the positive side, MA-10 is trading above both MA-20 and MA-50 after a very long time and it suggests positive momentum in the short term. However, the RSI level has started to showcase negative nature which suggests that BTC can face profit-booking momentum at the current price level. But RSI level has been able to maintain sustainability in the oversold region since the start of the year.
Overall, the world’s largest digital asset has eroded the losses faced by the collapse of FTX. With the positive sentiment surrounding the overall market conditions, we can expect BTC to test the resistance levels of $22K and $24K. In case, there’s a profit booking momentum, it will have support at $20K and $18K, respectively.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewBitcoin started 2023 on a positive note as the price level formed a rising channel pattern on the chart. Considering moving averages, MA-10 is trading above both MA-20 and MA-50, which is again a positive sign for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
The RSI level is also showcasing an extremely positive nature with a breakout to the overbought region. At the same time, this may also suggest that we can witness a profit-booking momentum for BTC in the near term with the level exhausted at 77.91.
Overall, BTC is yet to break above the crucial resistance levels of $18K and $20K, respectively. In case of a turn of events, it can have support at $16K and $15K, respectively.
BTC/USD - Quarterly Overview (Q4'22)The last quarter of 2022 turned out to be the most damaging one for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. As the price level was able to maintain sustainability above the crucial support level of $18K, the collapse of the centralized exchange, FTX, resulted in a bloodbath in the overall market conditions. Thereafter, BTC suffered a new 52-week low of approximately $15.5K. Since then, the price level did not climb above the psychological mark of $20K ever again. Due to the downside, the price level of $18K has become a major hurdle for Bitcoin to break above. It did test the resistance mark during December but was unable to break above.
Considering the current momentum, since the start of 2023, Bitcoin is forming a potential rising channel pattern that could retest the resistance present at the 0.382 FIB level. Until then, we can expect the world’s largest digital asset to move in a consolidating nature. Otherwise, a breakout above $18K can be a potential signal for bullish momentum in the near term. The support levels for BTC can be placed around $16K and $15K, whereas, the resistance levels can be placed at $18K and $20K, respectively.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewThe new year started off quite well for the world’s largest cryptocurrency as BTC was up by 1.30% in the past 24 hours. The price level had developed a temporary support zone around $16.5K through which it is looking at the potential to test the resistance zone above the 0.236 FIB level.
It must be noted that BTC has not been able to break above the 0.236 FIB level and maintain sustainability thereafter. A breakout could be a significant indicator that Bitcoin can commence the year with significant bullish momentum.
Supporting the hypothesis are RSI and MACD levels. The RSI level is showcasing positive nature on the chart while standing at 53.74. The MACD level also had a bullish crossover below the histogram with a green bar formation. If the levels are able to climb above the histogram, we could witness a significant positive momentum for Bitcoin.
Overall, the resistance levels can be placed at $17K and $18K, respectively. The support for BTC can be placed at $16K and $15K, respectively.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewThe past week for BTC was of strong consolidation and diminishing volume. The price level constantly tested the resistance level at the 0.236 FIB level.
The RSI level has again formulated a rising channel pattern on the chart. However, the impact on the BTC price was minimal as compared to the rise in the RSI level
The MACD level is still attempting to cross above the histogram. Overall, BTC is facing significant resistance at $17K and $18K thereafter. On the support side, $16K and $15K are the levels to watch out for.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewThe past week for the world’s largest cryptocurrency started on a positive note as the price level was able to break above $17.5K for the first time after November. Furthermore, the positive momentum led to a breakout above $18K but was unable to sustain for a longer duration. This could be justified on the 12-hour candlestick as the breakout represents a wick formation.
Thereafter, BTC was not able to maintain sustainability in the resistance zone also led to a breakdown below 0.236 FIB level on the Fibonacci retracement table. Currently, the price level has again entered the lower consolidation range.
Considering the technical indicators, MA-10 is vulnerable to have a negative breakout against MA-50 which could be an indication of further downfall. The RSI level has also disrupted its rising channel momentum causing a negative breakdown. Overall, BTC is looking vulnerable to retest support zones residing at $16K and $15K. In case of a positive comeback, it can face resistance at $19K and $20K, respectively.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewSince the start of December, Bitcoin has formulated a strong consolidation range between the price level of $17K and $17.5K. This could be a positive interpretation as compared to its performance during November end.

On the moving averages, MA-10 is still sustaining the positive crossover against MA-50 which is a positive sign. At the same time, MA-50 is proving to provide support to the world’s largest cryptocurrency whenever selling pressure is faced.
The RSI level is also sustaining within the rising channel pattern formulated on the chart. Overall, BTC might be consolidated in nature but sustainability above $17K could lead up to positive developments towards the end of the year. The resistance levels can be placed around $18K and $19K while the support levels can be placed at $17K and $15K.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewThe past week has regenerated positive sentiment for the world’s largest cryptocurrency as it broke and maintained sustainability above $17K. The bullish rally could be reflected in the expansion of Bollinger Band’s width.
Moreover, MA-10 was able to have a positive crossover against MA-50 which could be a potential signal for more bullish momentum to come in the near term. However, BTC still needs to have a bullish breakout above the 1.0 FIB level which will help to test the crucial psychological mark of $20K.
Considering the technical indicators, the RSI level is standing at the bullish level of 62.51. Further build-up might test the resistance levels of $18K and $20K, respectively. However, any climb above 70 might be an indication of profit-booking momentum. This can be support levels of $16K and $14K into action.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewThe technical chart of Bitcoin reflects on the consolidation faced since the past week. On the chart, the consolidation rage is formbed between the price levels from $15.5K to $17K

Currently, the level is showcasing negative nature while residing at 39.92 at the time of writing. MACD level is also having a hard time to climb above the histogram. However, it should be noted that green bars with considerable density are being formed on the histogram which can result in a positive trend in the near term.
The whole outlook for the world’s largest cryptocurrency is still skeptical with the current market conditions. However, BTC taking a breather and forming a consolidation zone might be the need of the hour in order to avoid further downfall. It is also have strong supports at $15K and $13K. In case of much needed upside, Bitcoin will face resistance around $17K and $19K.
LDO/USDT - Yearly OverviewThe technical chart of Lido DAO (LDO) highlights the rollercoaster price action. At the time of its initial launch, LDO token faced a significant downfall to the support zone around $0.50. This presented a rational buying opportunity for investors which resumed its bullish momentum and resulted in a new peak formation of around $3.00. The underlying fundamental behind the bullish move can be the anticipation of the Ethereum merge around that time. Since then, due to the overall market conditions, the LDO token has faced significant selling pressure at regular intervals.
It should be noted that the price level is again near the support zone which on the previous stance provided a huge bounceback to Lido DAO. Considering the moving averages, MA-10 has faced a negative crossover against MA-20 and MA-50 which indicates that LDO is still facing selling pressure in the market.
On the Fibonacci retracement table, the levels must maintain sustainability above 0.786 FIB level and look to break above 0.5 FIB level in the long term. The RSI level is unable to maintain sustainability above 50 which suggests that LDO has faced selling pressure as soon as there’s a profit-booking opportunity for its investors.
Considering the key statistics, resistance levels for LDO can be placed at $1.50 and $2.00 whereas the support levels can be placed at $1.00 and $0.50.
APT/USD - Weekly OverviewThe technical chart of Aptos (APT) token reflects the initial buying volume gathered which led to its new all-time high. However, since then, the coin has faced significant selling sentiment at regular intervals which eventually led to a downfall below the 0.236 FIB level. Since then, the price level was not able to have a positive breakout above the Fibonacci level.
Considering the technical indicators, it could be noticed the RSI level had a hard time sustaining above the level of 50 which implies that APT had not received constant buying volume from investors. The same goes for the MACD level which barely spent time above the histogram. However, considering the current trend, green bars have started to formulate on the histogram which could provide Aptos some positive momentum in the near term.
Overall, the price level needs to have a positive breakout above the resistance levels of $5.00 and $6.00. On the contrary, if it faces further downfall, support levels can be placed at $4.00 and $3.00.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewAmid the collapse of crypto giant, FTX, the overall market conditions took a hit as the world’s largest cryptocurrency nosedived to a new two-year low of nearly $15.5K. The other cryptocurrencies also faced significant selling pressure as Ethereum is down by 20.15%, XRP by 25.65%, and polygon by 22.00% at the time of writing on a weekly basis.
Considering the technical chart of BTC, MA-10 suffered a negative breakout against MA-20 and MA-50 as soon as the news of FTX collapse was made public. Currently, the price level is facing significant resistance above 0.236 FIB level on the Fibonacci retracement table.
Looking at the technical indicators, the RSI level suffered a nosedive to the oversold region but quickly bounced back. The level is showcasing positive nature while residing at 41.95. The MACD level also suffered a breakdown below the histogram with significant red bars formulated on the histogram. It surely disrupted the sustainability made in the past couple of months.
Overall, BTC is currently trading at significantly lower levels. A significant upside might need relevant accumulation at the current levels. To avoid further downfalls, BTC is having support at $16K and $15K respectively. On the upside, resistance levels can be placed at $17K and $19K respectively.
BTC/USD - Weekly OverviewThe world’s largest cryptocurrency has developed positive sentiment during the past week as the price level maintained sustainability above the psychological mark of $20K.
Moreover, the price level was able to have a positive breakout above the resistance zone between 0.786 FIB level and 0.618 FIB level and attained a new weekly high of nearly $21.5K. However, price sustainability above 0.618 FIB level looks doubtful as BTC just had a negative breakout below it.
Considering the moving averages, BTC is unable to maintain sustainability above MA-10 in a shorter timeframe. However, to avoid any sudden strong negative divergence, MA-50 is proving to be a significant support provider.
Looking at the technical indicators, RSI is showcasing negative nature with a breakdown below 50. The MACD level has also faced a bearish crossover and started to form red bars on the histogram.
Overall, BTC has strong support at $20K and $18K for avoiding any sharp negative fall. If the bulls are able to withstand, resistance levels can be placed at $22K and $24K respectively.
