Cryptocurrency Market Discussion and Weekly Performance

$9218. Almost a 2.5% move in under 20 minutes. You’ve got to stay on your toes!

$9300 and I think we’ll see some selling now.

Wow, even a faster drop down to $8825. So that’s a 5% drop in under 10 minutes. Perhaps this is why bitcoin isn’t a safe haven…

Nice move up to almost $9500, and within 12 hours, down $1000/10.5% to around $8500. Keeping you on your toes!

Market Cap is up another 13.5% ($253.14 B) since the last post. Volume of $307.44 B, up 37.4% since the last post.

The btc halving effect, I must say.

Brief hits above $10k on the 6th and 7th signalling some bullish hope, and then bam! 15% drop in 7 minutes at 8PM New York time.

$2 million dollar chunks liquidated, with btc dropping to around $8500 and then recovering at $8700. NO major news before the selloff. Just whales, doing what whales do. Currently trading at under USD $8675 on Kraken.

Market Cap is UP 10% ($266.96 B) since the last post. Volume of $268.7 B, is DOWN 37.7% since the last post.

A large drop in volume similar, but opposite, to what we saw two weeks. Of course, more coin prices are up.

BTC was down 8% in the last 24 hours. It’s rebounded 2% in the last 30 min to break back above $9k.

Could be related to a 50 bitcoin move from a wallet not active since 2009, only one month after the first block was mined.

Got the title changed to better reflect what this thread has been about recently.

Market Cap is DOWN 7.5% ($247.07 B) since the last post. Volume of $183.17 B, is DOWN again, 31.8% this time, since the last post.

Pretty significant drops in volume for the last two weeks. I can only image a further drop in crypto prices. Perhaps the extending weekend in the US plays a bit into this.

Since my last weekly update, btc has broken through the $10k level. We haven’t seen 10k since Feb.

Another interesting note is that USDT has surpassed btc in trading volume just a tad, nearing $5 bn over the last 24 hours.

Btc down almost 6% in the last 30 min, down to around $9500. Profit takers are making themselves known.

Market Cap is UP11.7% ($275.9 B) since the last post. Volume of $146.05 B, is DOWN again, 20.3% this time, since the last post.

BTC has been stuck between $9450 and $9850 since late May. $10K is an obvious hurdle that needs to be broken.

People keep saying it will reach $20,000 again this year, do you think that’s possible? And if yes, how probable is it?

$20,000, $100,000, $50,000/ It’s all over the place. I don’t think we hit $20,000. With the virus here, and not going anywhere, I don’t think the environment is right. I think equities, with their ups and downs, aren’t positioned in the right place. Too much of an unknown, with a potential second wave building.

Thank you for the level-headed analysis of the situation!

No worry of a second wave. The first one won’t be ending anytime soon sadly. And that will requiring maintaining lockdown, which means depressed business income, which means more job loss.

Two weeks of down volume, with btc pushing towards $10K again.
