Crypto Prices Bounce From the Bottom
Bitcoin remained in a narrow trading range of $16,000 to $17,250 on Friday as the ongoing FUD continues to keep price action limited. The Securities Commission of the Bahamas (SCB) was watching FTX earlier this week.
The Financial Crimes Investigation Branch and the regulator worked together to investigate FTX’s violations. The development came after FTX announced that, at the SCB’s request, it would begin allowing Bahamian funds withdrawals, which the commission quickly denied.
However, recent reports show that the SCB had already taken action against the exchange days before it launched its investigation.
The regulatory body announced on November 17 that it had taken custody of the assets of FTX Digital Markets (FDM) by transferring them to a digital wallet under the SCB’s jurisdiction. The commission stated that these actions were taken to protect client funds and interests.
As more regulators began to investigate the bankrupt company, FTX exchange, its situation deteriorated. The collapse of the exchange has caused significant disruptions in the cryptocurrency market.
Following this event, Bitcoin holders may choose to protect their assets by selling them. Furthermore, due to unpredictability, the price could change in any direction.
El Salvador to Start Buying 1 Bitcoin Every Day
El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, announced on November 17 that his country will begin purchasing one Bitcoin per day. El Salvador is said to have completed its final Bitcoin purchase, 80 BTC at $19,000 each, in July 2022, three and a half months ago.
El Salvador has 2,381 BTC with an average purchase price of $43,357, according to BuyBitcoinWorldwide data.
The main factor used to calculate this amount is the president’s announcement of Bitcoin investments. However, no record of the purchases has been made public or available on the network, so it cannot be confirmed.
According to media reports, the country spent more than $103.23 million on Bitcoin purchases. However, because the most popular cryptocurrency is currently valued at around $16,500, this implies a loss of more than $63 million, as the actual value of its stockpile is $39.47 million.
The declaration also responds to Bukele’s earlier comments on the FTX controversy, in which the president of El Salvador stated on November 14 via Twitter that “FTX is the polar opposite of Bitcoin.”
Bukele, a vocal Bitcoin supporter and believer, claimed that Bitcoin was created to combat Ponzi schemes, bank runs, and financial system fraud. Because repurchasing is increasing Bitcoin adoption in the country, this news may boost BTC/USD.
Crypto Market Turnaround
Following the recent drama involving FTX and other exchange platforms, blockchain analytics firm Santiment tweeted a chart outlining the conditions for a crypto market recovery.
According to the tweet, cryptocurrency often succeeds when exchanges are not the primary focus. One of the most significant exchange crashes in history was the FTX crash. As a result, its shockwaves may have “long-lasting shockwaves.”
According to the tweet, the critical turning point for the cryptocurrency industry will occur when attention returns to Bitcoin (BTC), the market leader, and away from exchange tokens.
According to a chart posted on Twitter by Santiment yesterday, the price of BTC/USD typically falls when the social dominance of exchange tokens increases.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
It began trading at $16,827, with a high of $16,832 and a low of $ 16,673. BTC/USD is currently trading at $16,790.00, up by 1.62% in 24 hours. Moreover, its price has dropped by over 4% in a week.
Bitcoin is consolidating in a wide trading range between $16,000 and $17,200, with a breakout determining future price action. Bitcoin completed a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at the $18,100 level in the 4-hour timeframe and has now fallen below the 23.6% Fibonacci level of $17,250.
On the downside, Bitcoin’s immediate support is at $17,250, and if the bearish trend continues, the price could fall as low as $15,850. Because the RSI and 50-day moving average indicate a bearish bias, the price of Bitcoin could fall to $15,850 if current support fails to hold.
While the MACD is in a selling zone, recent histograms are contracting, indicating a waning bearish bias. Today, however, selling is visible below the $17,250 level. Increased BTC demand, on the other hand, has the potential to push the BTC/USD price above $18,250 and toward $20,000.

Calvaria (RIA)
Calvaria is a new cryptocurrency gaming project with the potential to dominate the play-to-earn market. Calvaria developers have identified that one of the main barriers to widespread Web3 gaming adoption is that games require users to have technical knowledge of crypto. This means that a lot of users are left out.
As such, Calvaria allows users who don’t hold cryptocurrency to play the game, setting it apart from the competition and enabling a whole new audience to get involved.
Calvaria’s presale is gaining traction, with the project already in stage 4 of 10 and close to $1.8 million in funding. 1 RIA token currently costs $0.025 but this will increase incrementally in each subsequent stage of the presale which is currently in Stage 4.
RobotEra (TARO)
RobotEra (TARO) is another project that has the potential to change the gaming community and the virtual world. The asset’s presale has only recently begun, but there is already considerable interest from prospective buyers.
RobotEra is a blockchain-based Metaverse where users can create avatars and explore a digital world, and the platform’s native token is TARO. In RobotEra, players can purchase land, build on it, and expand their regions with various assets.
Furthermore, RobotEra has a shared metaverse where users can engage in a variety of activities such as sports, concerts, and other competitive events.
The first stage of TARO’s presale is now live, and it is quickly selling out.
