Cryptocurrency News Roundup for May 31, 2020

Date:

The weekend was pretty uneventful for the world’s top cryptocurrency as the BTC-USD pair maintained quasi-stability around $9,500.

Which way the price will sway from here still remains fairly unclear. There is a growing bearish divergence in the RSI as well as a bullish cross between the 50 and 200-hour moving averages (MA) recently.

All said, there are some visible weaknesses in Bitcoin’s short-term charts. As BeInCrypto’s technical analyst Valdrin pointed out late last week, odds are there that the price could break out soon, but not before falling to around $9,250 and validating that area as a key support level.

Meanwhile, in other big developments from the past couple of days:

The motion comes days after an early Bitcoin miner signed a cryptographic message using the same 145 addresses claimed by Wright in his ongoing legal tussle with the Kleiman estate. The miner in question also called Wright a “liar and a fraud” for not budging from his claim of being the real Satoshi Nakamoto.
