The price of Bitcoin has been dropping (just like at the beginning of last week) in the first half of the working week. This time, the main reason is that investors fear a drop of the price because the US government (during the last month of Joe Biden’s presidency) is trying to quickly cash in […]
Altcoin season is the period when altcoins traditionally outperform Bitcoin in terms of price growth. The official definition is that three-quarters of 50 of the largest altcoins must outperform Bitcoin over the last three months. Since the beginning of September, Bitcoin has added about 70% to its price. Many altcoins however did much better. Lagging […]
XRP broke through the $2 level this weekend and has been the undisputed winner in recent weeks ever since the announced departure of Gary Gensler, the head of the SEC who filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs. In the past month alone, XRP won well over 300%. Although the growth of Bitcoin and the overall […]
Thanks to their fabulous marketing machine called Justin Sun, cryptocurrency Tron is one of the rising stars of 2024. With steady growth, Tron has firmly taken its place in the top 15 of CoinMarketCap. Thanks to a financial injection of 30 million dollars into the Trump family’s new crypto platform, CEO Justin Sun is (probably) […]

[…]
Ever since this weekend, Bitcoin has been trending lower (and dragging the rest of the major crypto coins down with it). Yesterday I briefly saw $91k in the afternoon and at the time of writing the largest digital currency is trading around $93,300. Analysis Is this the start of the dreaded ‘Blow-Off top’ or are […]

However, you don’t have to look far to find the reason for this. Speculation […]
