Technical Analysis of BTC/USD for January 6, 2023

Crypto Industry News:

The private information of 200 million Twitter users, including their email addresses, was put up for sale after the information of 400 million users was stolen in the last week of December 2022.

The hacker behind the December hack had previously demanded $200,000 from Twitter to return the stolen data, and warned that if the request was not met, the data would be made available for free. The latest dataset posted on a hacker forum is for the same December 2022 hack.

Privacy Affairs researchers have confirmed that the dataset leaked on a hacker forum is the same as in December. The figure of 200 million in this case was due to the removal of duplicates. The provided dataset does not contain phone numbers. The researchers warn that these kits could be used to initiate social engineering or "doxing" campaigns.

The dataset was originally 63GB, but after removing duplicates and compressing the files, the size of the latest dataset was reduced to 4GB and was free to download.

The hacker also added that an analysis of the dates of the original files and account creation dates "strongly suggests" that they were collected from early November 2021 to December 14, 2021.

Many Twitter users have called for the social media platform to step up security as hacks put activists and whistleblowers at risk.

Some of the popular and famous names and entities that are affected include Sundar Pichai, Donald Trump Jr., SpaceX, CBS Media, NBA and WHO. The data leak vulnerability has already been patched. However, looking back, it seems that the same vulnerability was also exploited in another exploit in July 2022.

Technical Market Outlook:

The BTC/USD pair keeps trading above 100 MA, nevertheless the recent rally had been capped at $17,000 after the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made at H4 time frame chart. A breakout above the level of $17,057 is needed in order to extend the rally towards the key short-term technical resistance seen at $18,360, but for now the bulls are still trading below the level of $16,950. On the other hand, any breakout below the range low would extend the corrective cycle towards the level of $15,984 (November 28th low). Strong and positive momentum support the short-term bullish outlook.

Weekly Pivot Points:

WR3 - $17,051

WR2 - $16,841

WR1 - $16,758

Weekly Pivot - $16,662

WS1 - $16,548

WS2 - $16,422

WS3 - $16,213

Trading Outlook:

The down trend on the H4, Daily and Weekly time frames continues without any indication of a possible trend termination or reversal. So far every bounce and attempt to rally is being used to sell Bitcoin for a better price by the market participants, so the bearish pressure is still high. Moreover, there is a clear test of the 50 WMA located at the level of $15,600, so any breakout below the moving average and a weekly candle close below moving average will be considered as another indication of the down trend continuation. The new yearly low was made at $15,555 and if this level is violated, then the next long-term target for bulls is seen at $13,712. On the other hand, the gamechanging level for bulls is located at $25,367 and it must be clearly violated for a valid breakout in the longer term.
