Crypto Industry News:
The Binance exchange has decided to take a key step in the matter of BTC transfers. The platform announced that it is working on implementing payouts via the Lightning Network, which is the layer 2 of the Bitcoin network.
On May 8, Binance tweeted out that their team was working on implementing a bitcoin transfer solution from their platform. This is related to yesterday's problems with the withdrawal of the first cryptocurrency, when the exchange had to suspend them for two hours, citing an increased number of pending transfers and an increased gas fee.
As explained, many transactions that were waiting in the queue were not processed in time. What's more, the exchange said on Sunday that the problem of pending withdrawals has been partially solved by increasing transaction fees so that mining pools can approve them. Finally, it was announced that the platform's developers are working on implementing the Lightning Network, i.e. layer 2 of the Bitcoin network, which is used for faster and more economical transfer of funds.
Technical Market Outlook:
The BTC/USD pair keeps trading lower after the swing high had been done at the level of $31,044. The current correction is more complex and time-consuming, however the bulls are still trying to increase the volatility and break above the intraday technical resistance seen at $30,004. If there is a breakout above the short-term trend line resistance, then the next target is seen at $30,561. Only a sustained breakout above the swing high might change the outlook to more bullish, otherwise the market remains in corrective mode and horizontal trend to be continued for next few days. The key technical support levels are $27,259 and $26,972.
