Crypto Industry News:

Kazakhstan may no longer be the center of bitcoin mining, which it was relatively recently. All because of the new mining regulations.

The deputies passed the law "On Digital Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan" and other regulations regarding cryptocurrency mining.

Recall that after China banned mining, Kazakhstan became one of the BTC mining centers in the region. All because of cheap electricity. But that may change now.

Didar Bekbauov, co-founder of Xive, a cryptocurrency mining platform, notes that a total of five bills passed introduce a new scheme for purchasing electricity for miners, as well as updated licensing and taxation systems.

BTC miners will only be able to buy surplus electricity from the public grid. Purchase of electricity through the Kazakh Exchange of the Energy Market Operator may also be carried out by them, but not everyone will be able to make this type of purchase, because electricity will be sold in the form of an auction.

Technical Market Outlook:

The Ethereum cryptocurrency has broken below the trend line seen around the level of $1,254, made a new local low at the level of $1,1240 (at the time of writing the analysis). As the momentum is negative on the H4 time frame chart, the short-term outlook remains bearish with a target for bears located at $1,150 (28th November low). Please notice the fact, that Ethereum lost more than 37% in November alone as the crypto winter continues and any up move should be considered as the upward correction during the long-term down trend.
