Bitcoin hasn’t fared too well over the past week, and altcoins haven’t either. After finding a local high last Sunday, the cryptocurrency started to tank lower and lower, falling as global markets came under a crunch.

Despite this drop, a top analyst is suggesting that Ethereum (ETH) is nearing a buy zone (and thus a potential bottom, at least a local bottom).

Could Ethereum Be Entering a Buy Zone?

Su Zhu — CEO and CIO of Three Arrows Capital and a writer at Deribit — recently remarked that Ethereum may be nearing a “decent re-entry level on the ETH/DAI and ETH/USD pairs.” In other words, the cryptocurrency is likely in a buying zone.

The fund manager backed this cheery sentiment by remarking that the trading pair for the algorithmic stablecoin DAI against the centralized USDC is at “the highs of the year now.”  This signals a potential bottom for Ethereum because:

DAI trades above peg whenever there’s large liquidations on ETH/DAI, demand for DAI. It will result in the SF going lower on MKR and represents a flushout of leveraged longs

Su Zhu previously called Bitcoin’s price action for January, in December suggesting the cryptocurrency could rally 25% from the $7,000s to $9,000 in January due to what he saw as accumulation pattern in market data.

Analysts Also Getting Bullish on Bitcoin

As Su Zhu has come up with this analysis, other traders and market commentators have been coming to the conclusion that Bitcoin is in the midst of bottoming. This corroborates the bullish ETH narrative, as the two top cryptocurrencies have relatively similar directionality.

Just recently, Brave New Coin’s Josh Olszewicz remarked that surges in the VIX, the CBOE’s volatility index for the S&P 500, have correlated with Bitcoin bottoms.

My further analysis of the subject has found that this correlation may be true: I found that when the three times when the VIX passed 30 over the past five years, BTC was in close proximity to a bottom.

For instance, the time the VIX passed 30 in August 2015 was when Bitcoin bottomed at $220 prior to skyrocketing to $20,000 — a gain of nearly 10,000% — in the coming 26 months.

.@CarpeNoctom suggested spikes in the VIX correlate (spurious?) with Bitcoin bottoms. He's not kidding.

Times the VIX passed 30 in the past 5 years:

Dec 23, 2018: a week after BTC fell to $3,150
Feb 3, 2018: when BTC bottomed at $6,500

This week, the VIX crossed 30 once again as the S&P 500 started to crash, falling by 10% within a week’s trading. Should history repeat itself, Bitcoin is very close to a bottom.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Could Three Times Be the Charm for This Resistance Level?

Bitcoin remains in its tightly coiled range as the market continues its sideways trend for the third week in a row. While macro support has been tested three times recently, we have yet to test the overhanging macro resistance:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe blue zone outlined above shows a very strong zone of support that, over the last few weeks, has seen three strong tests and has led to a slowly upward-drifting market consolidation.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Bitcoin Tests Boundary Support as Demand Weakens

Following last Friday’s drop, bitcoin has found itself coiled, once again, at the bottom of the range it established back in December.

A Guide to 99% Fault Tolerant Consensus

Special thanks to Emin Gun Sirer for review We’ve heard for a long time that it’s possible to achieve consensus with 50% fault tolerance in a synchronous network where messages broadcasted by any honest node are guaranteed to be received by all other honest nodes within some known time period (if an attacker has more than 50%, they can perform a “51% attack”, and there’s an analogue of this for any algorithm of this type).

PoWx Seeks to Change Bitcoin Mining with “Optical PoW”

Nonprofit organization PoWx has launched this week with the goal of boosting the idea behind proof of work (PoW) through more innovative algorithms. The company is seeking to decentralize Bitcoin mining and make it more accessible to consumers through a new technology that executives have dubbed “optical PoW” — a new type of hardware that utilizes a more advanced and energy-efficient form of laser technology as the cornerstone of mining.
