Mainstream Adoption: UK’s Largest Travel Management Firm Partner’s with BitPay to Accept Bitcoin
According to news reports on 15th April, United Kingdom’s largest travel management firm, Corporate Traveller, in a partnership with crypto payments giants, Bitpay, is now receiving Bitcoin (BTC) for payments.
Speaking to the press, General Manager at Corporate Traveller U.K., Andy Hegley, cited a greater demand from their clients for the option to pay for business travel bookings in bitcoin as the reason it is striking the deal with BitPay.
According to Hegley, the company chose BitPay to manage their merchant processing because of their efficiency in handling the entire process of getting the Bitcoin (BTC) or Bitcoin Cash (BCH) from the buyer and depositing fiat cash in the company’s account.
An increase in price volatility of crypto markets will not trouble the travel company as the bitcoins will be changed straight into British pounds (GBP). According to Corporate Traveller, the 1% commission charged by Bitpay to exchange the funds to British pounds is less than the charges it pays for credit card processing.
Due to customer demand, other tourism and travel firms and organizations have begun accepting cryptocurrencies.
Recently, BitPay reported that last year it made in excess of $1 billion in transactions. With big customers like the State of Ohio, Dish Networks, and HackerOne, among its client pool, the crypto payments company set a new record in terms of transaction fee revenue January this year.
Technical Analysis
BTC/USD: 4-HR Chart
The overbought nature of the Bitcoin price on major crypto brokers was signalled by a blend of bearish regular divergence and bearish Fakey pattern as shown above. This price collapse was stalled by a breakout of bearish accumulation on 12 April ’19 08:00 setting strong support at 4934.7.
A more recent bullish accumulation pattern was initialized on 16 April ’19, following an intraday volatility oversold on 15 April ’19 16:00. This forced the BTC to resume its bullish price rally.
Lower risk entry setups were triggered on 10, and 11 April ’19 by a collapse of bullish pressure support. A bullish regular divergence signalled an end to the bearish volatility and subsequently leading to an increase in the Bitcoin price.
Conclusion and Projection
The speculative demand for Bitcoin is still on the increase especially with major resistance levels on the monthly and weekly charts being violated. We project a bullish trajectory towards the 7788.0 resistance level as a significant profit target.
