✴️ BTC Update
BTC is now trading just above the fateful 20k level.
The trading volume in the previous session was below its average level but not by much. The latter was largely boosted by the incredible volume levels of the past week on Binance.
The daily technical situation remains positive with the MACD and WaveTrend pointing upwards. On a 4h time frame, the indicators are also positive despite signs of bearish curves visible on the WaveTrend.
👉 What to do now?
BTC is now trading above its Wilder average but this is not enough to open a long term position. As long as we are neither below 17k nor above 24k, we will abstain.
Until then stay safe, I wish you all a great day!

BTC UPDATE:
BTC is dumping badly because of the war situation is going on between Russia and Ukraine. We pray for everyone's safety.
Now let's go to the chart. BTC is trading below $35k and again trying to enter into the falling wedge which was broke out few days before. If it again goes inside the wedge then things become ugly. As of now BTC has a support at $34,800 level. BTC must bounce from here otherwise we might see $28k-$30k level.
IMO it's better to wait for the daily close before making any conclusion. As of now stay safe and don't take any new positions.
BREAKING: The Russian government and central bank have just reached an agreement on cryptocurrencies, according to Russia's Kommersant.
Both organizations will treat bitcoin and crypto assets as currencies.
✴️ India to "Unban" Crypto
🔹In a speech discussing the budget for 2022, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman repeatedly mentioned the country's policy towards cryptocurrencies. As expected, there is no longer talk of a total ban on digital assets, but rather regulation.
🔹The Indian Finance Minister said that due to the scale and frequency of cryptocurrency transactions, it was crucial to provide a specific tax regime for the taxation of this sector.
🔹Thus, Indian citizens will now have to pay a 30% tax on all their income from the "transfer" of digital assets. In other words, this includes the sale and exchange of a cryptocurrency with a third party.
✴️ META develops a supercomputer for the Metaverse
🔹Scheduled to be fully operational this summer, the new supercomputer of Meta (formerly Facebook), announces extraordinary computing power. Indeed, it will be able to process data equivalent to 1 exabyte, i.e. 1 billion GB, and will have a bandwidth of 16 TB/second.
🔹This will be a valuable tool for Meta to feed the research work of its future metaverse. And this tool is called AI Research SuperCluster, or RSC for the intimate.
🔹Incidentally, this computer already has 6080 NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). These allow it a computing power that already places it as the fifth fastest supercomputer in the world. Eventually, the RSC should house up to 16000 GPUs. As for the company Meta, it did not wish to communicate either the cost or the location of this installation.
🔹It's hard to speculate at this point on how many and what monopolies of metaverse virtual worlds will be popular in the future. But one thing is for sure, whoever offers the best user experience will have a huge competitive advantage. So that's what the SuperCluster is all about: a tool that can process the goldmine of user data accumulated over the years by the companies in the group.
🔹This research work will enable the development of artificial intelligence that is as immersive and responsive as possible. This can of course be applied to virtual reality games, but also to conferences in several languages that would be translated in real time.

🔹The request was filed early last week and only reached the media this weekend. At this time, we do not know whether or not this bill will be discussed in the Arizona Senate.
