Bitcoin Price on Black Friday 2022

Image
Although 2023 has certainly been a positive for the digital asset industry, last year did not fare the same. Subsequently, with positive moments abounding this year, we take a look back at the performance of the industry’s most prominent asset. Specifically, we observed the Bitcoin (BTC) price on Black Friday 2022. The primary story of 2022 was the collapse of FTX, one of the largest failures the industry had ever seen. Therefore, a host of tokens sported poor performances throughout the tail end of the year. Subsequently, 12 months removed from that, the upcoming Thanksgiving should present a different story. Conversely, a look at the price of Bitcoin during the important American holiday is an important historical observation that could hold even more information.

Binance Might 'Not' be Manipulating the Bitcoin Market Yet

Image
Binance and BNB are currently the first and third trending topics in the industry. The discussions have been sparked over the allegations that Binance sold Bitcoin to uphold the value of BNB tokens. The world’s leading exchange is the top holder of Bitcoin. Obliquely, this comes with the power to manipulate the price of the asset. Amid the dumping speculations, several members of the community, including Peter Brandt, have outrightly called out Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao [ CZ ]. Additionally, this section of the community is bracing for BNB’s price to break below $200. I have stated for years that CZ and @ binance is a global scam and $BNB just a cheap fiat.

This 'Bitcoin Fund Rate Strategy' Has High Accuracy

Image
The Bitcoin funding rate strategy has proven to be accurate over the past year. BTC has reacted in a particular way during overheated and cooling-off periods. Whenever the number crosses 0.0100 [red], it indicated the loss of buying power. However, the arrival into this zone does not call for an immediate correction. The funding rate has to start falling alongside and accompany the price parallelly. When both these conditions are fulfilled, this strategy confirms a price correction. The current condition seems to be synonymous with what was observed during Q1. The market concluded one overheated phase and the funding started dropping, laying the foundations for a correction.

Will Bitcoin Take on the Reserve Currency Status Following De-Dollarization?

Re serve currencies hold great value in the global economy as they serve as crucial facilitators of international trade and finance. These currencies are held in substantial quantities by various central banks and financial institutions, enabling them to fulfill their role in supporting global economic transactions. For centuries, global re serve currencies have played a pivotal role in international trade and finance.

Mike Novogratz: Bitcoin, Gold Presents a 'Great Opportunity', Here's Why

Image
In a recent interview with CNBC, Galaxy Digital founder, Michael Novogratz said that the U.S. is heading for a credit crunch. In light of that argument, he highlighted that it presents a great opportunity to buy into investments such as GOLD (XAU), silver (XAG), and Bitcoin (BTC). Novogratz stated during the interview, “We are going to have a credit crunch in the U.S. and globally […] You want to be long GOLD and silver […] and you want to be long Bitcoin.” Novogratz pointed out that since banks normally raise capital by making fewer loans, a credit crunch is imminent. Additionally, he emphasized that signs of a recession are already present, such as those in the commodities market. This month, the U.S. banking sector witnessed a new crisis when Silvergate Bank, Signature Bank, and Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) all failed within a single week. The outlook for the U.S. banking system was lowered by Moody’s to “negative.” Novogratz said a change in interest rate policy was ...
