BTC/USD Analysis – September 10, 2021

Bitcoin Supported Over 46,459 Pivot Point

After reaching a high of $47,397.0 and a low of $45,591.0, the BTC/USD pair was closed at $46,389.0. On Thursday, BTC/USD reversed course after plunging for two consecutive sessions, finding support at the $45,000 mark. It's allowing bitcoin to recoup some of its prior daily loss.

The recent research from the British Standard Chartered bank, which forecasted that Bitcoin would soon exceed the $100,000 mark, could be blamed for the rise in Bitcoin prices on Thursday. According to the article, BTC's run to $100,000 could lead to more price increases in Ether.

Meanwhile, Blockstream, a company focusing on constructing Bitcoin-based crypto infrastructure, announced a partnership with Macquarie, a financial services corporation, to develop and run zero-emission Bitcoin mining operations. The announcement of a $411 billion financial services firm's cooperation with Blockstream to enter green bitcoin mining boosted BTC/USD prices even more.

Another key piece of news that sparked a reversal in BTC/USD was the passage on Thursday by the Ukrainian Parliament of the Draft Law on Virtual Assets. This regulation will provide legal status to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in Eastern European countries. The bill got approval from 276 members, but President Volodymyr Zelensky must yet sign it into law.

If the President approves the measure, Ukrainians will be able to buy products and services using bitcoin and other digital assets in addition to local cash. Citizens are restricted to using local currency, the hryvnia, but the new regulation will bring bitcoin closer to the forefront and increase locals' confidence in investing.

After evaluating bitcoin certificates, a $500 billion German fund management declared its plans to use crypto. Union Investment, the investment arm of the DZ Bank Group, has stated that it plans to convert a modest portion of its holdings to BTC. The corporation has expressed interest in converting 1-2 percent of its investment into Bitcoin, but no timeframe has been set for the conversion. After the company's first addition of cryptocurrency to a mixed fund called Private Funds Flexible Pro, the idea came to them.

In addition, BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with $9.5 trillion in assets under management, has claimed that it holds some Bitcoin. Even though the firm's Managing Director, Rick Rieder, refused to reveal the actual amount invested in BTC, the announcement that the firm was holding BTC was enough to send BTC/USD values higher on Thursday.
