QCP Capital: It is expected that Bitcoin will consolidate in the range of $92,000 to $95,000 during the U.S. market closure today

ChainCatcher news, QCP Capital's latest analysis indicates that Bitcoin rebounded to $95,200 last night after successfully testing the key support level of $92,500. However, following the news that the U.S. government plans to sell seized Silk Road Bitcoins, the outlook for Bitcoin turned bearish in the Asian early session today.Cryptocurrency prices continue to be affected by macroeconomic headwinds, with last night's release of the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes showing a more hawkish stance. The Fed stated that it would slow the pace of interest rate cuts due to rising inflation risks. The ADP employment report released yesterday also added to macro uncertainty, showing a slowdown in private sector hiring and wage growth. This stands in stark contrast to the stronger job market depicted by Tuesday's JOLTS job openings data.In the options market, the curves for all maturities steepened, with the 3-6 month spread widening by 1.5 volatility points, and the 6-12 month spread rising above 1 volatility point. Trading desks continue to observe that near-term volatility is under pressure, with at-the-money options expiring on January 17 dropping by 3 volatility points compared to last night.QCP expects that during today's U.S. market holiday, Bitcoin will consolidate in the $92,000-$95,000 range. If it breaks below $92,000, it may further test the $90,000 round number.

Footballcraft's second test data is impressive and is expected to surpass SEGA's "Football Manager" series

ChainCatcher news, TOPGOAL's football manager game Footballcraft, which integrates Web3 and Web2 platforms, launched its second round of open testing last week, achieving remarkable results that far exceeded expectations. As of now, the total number of test players on both Web3 and Web2 platforms has surpassed 100,000, with a next-day retention rate as high as 69%. The development team stated that this impressive data is expected to surpass SEGA's "Football Manager" series after Footballcraft officially launches, claiming the title of the highest-grossing manager game in the world.Footballcraft has been meticulously developed over two years by a team with 11 years of experience in football game development. The game constructs a parallel world that closely aligns with the rules of the real world, with the unique feature that time in the game passes at a rate 12 times faster than in reality, allowing players to experience a complete football manager career in just a few months. The product manager of Footballcraft previously led a team to achieve an annual revenue of $100 million in 2018 with a football manager game. Now, with a series of promotional activities in the Web3 space, Footballcraft is expected to set new records.Looking back at the football manager game sector, the "Football Manager" series dominated from 2000 to 2015, setting the industry benchmark. However, as the gaming industry has shifted towards online competitive play, its single-player game model has gradually declined, with current annual revenue dropping to about $60 million. TOPGOAL has seized this opportunity to fully develop Footballcraft, aiming to provide players with an ultimate cross-platform gaming experience.
