boss

Bitcoin is not expected to retest its record until later this year, but data shows this correction could get uglier before a recovery begins — similar to how the cryptocurrency fared between two all-time highs in 2021. A bitcoin valuation indicator, CryptoQuant’s Bitcoin Profit and Loss Index, is currently hovering around its own 365-day moving average. This key threshold helps traders determine whether bitcoin is in a bull or bear market. Historically, a crossover of the index to the downside has marked major corrections, including the one between May and…

boss

Bitcoin has pulled back in recent weeks following the announcement that creditors to the collapsed Mt Gox exchange will be returned approximately $9 billion of bitcoin and the fear is that supply will hit the market.

July is usually a strong month…
