The Crypto Fear & Greed Index had plunged to 21 levels, indicating extreme fear among investors. However, while speaking on CNBC, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz said that the …

The crypto markets and the U.S. equity markets sold off on Sept. 20 on fears that the collapse of Chinese property giant Evergrande could not only hurt China but also have wider implications in other markets.

Bitcoin (BTC) and the cryptocurrency market had a shakeout this week as the fake news surrounding Litecoin (LTC) caused a spike in volatility. However, the structure of the market didn’t change.

Will Bitcoin break out due to the golden cross? The daily chart for BTC/USD shows …

Charles Edwards, CEO of investment manager Capriole, pointed out that “almost every Bitcoin correction in 2021” has corresponded with a 2% or more drop in the S&P 500. Irrespective of the near-term weakness in Bitcoin, MicroStrategy has continued to build its holdings. The company’s …

Ki Young Ju, CEO of on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, said this could result in a “sell-side liquidity crisis on Bitcoin.” Although Bitcoin has outperformed gold by a huge margin in 2021, Omega Advisors chairman and CEO Lee Cooperman remains averse to investing in it because he said that he does not understand Bitcoin.
