According to the head of Adamant Capital Tuur Demeester, Bitcoin ahs a good chance to embark on a long-term bullish trend if it stays above the critical $6,300. The expert believes that BTC is currently in the accumulation phase; however, the long-term perspectives look favorable.
Bitcoin back in the box, imo we're still in the re-accumulation phase. Looks messy technically, but the rebound is encouraging so far. $6,300 could be key resistance level before bull market can resume.
Nearly half of the surveyed cryptocurrency holders in Japan believe that the bearish trend will prevail on the cryptocurrency market in the near-term future, according to the latest research, conducted by Crypto Network Asia. The vast majority of crypto investors expect the price to move towards $3,500 instead of $7,500. However, the longer-term forecasts are more positive. Moreover, Bitcoin and altcoin holders reported that they trade at the exchange at least once a month. Japan is considered to be the fourth-largest cryptocurrency market in the world, but local exchanges provide access only to thirteen digital coins. The experts believe the situation may improve within the year.

Apart from that, they will be able to use numerous features like buying, depositing, trading, and view summaries. Brendan Eich, CEO, and co-founder of Brave, commented:
Cryptocurrency trading can be a daunting task for users not familiar with such assets, so integrating Binance into the Brave browser makes the process seamless and simple. By bringing a leading exchange like Binance directly into the browser, Brave is taking cryptocurrency trading mainstream and enabling users to conduct transactions with ease.

Regulation
The U.S. Democratic Party included a provision for a digital dollar in a draft stimulus bill. The cryptocurrency is deemed to serve as a means of payments to people and businesses hit by coronavirus-related economic collapse. The cryptocurrency industry cheered a proposal as the creation of a digital dollar would effectively legalize bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. eToro market analyst Adam Vettese commented:
This stops short of the party proposing to create a cryptocurrency for this purpose, and it is unclear whether it will make the final bill.
Quote of the day:
$SPX - S&P 500 is up over 7% so far today but also hasn't seen two back to back green days in three weeks. Don't forget, unemployment numbers come out on Thursday - not expecting great news there - $BTC price will be impacted by any major moves (up or down) in stocks/ S&P 500.
