Weekend BTC Market
Weekend BTC market is strong.
The price continued to trade around $23,000 (approximately 3 million yen), but it has risen since yesterday, reaching just short of $24,000 (approximately 3.1 million yen) this morning.
Last week’s BTC dropped to mid-$22,000 (about 2,850,000 yen) before the option cut on Friday, but recovered to around $23,000. Expansion continued.
After passing the option cut, BTC lowered to the $ 22,000 level in response to Silvergate, which was disgusted with the restructuring announced at the beginning of the year, which operated a bank closely related to crypto assets, and decided to stop dividends on preferred shares. However, buybacks dominated toward the final trading hours for January BTC futures on the CME.
In addition, although crypto-asset-related stocks had mixed price movements, Coinbase stocks remained strong, and BTC returned to the $23,000 level and remained firm.
From Saturday to Sunday, Dogecoin (DOGE), which E-Mask tweeted that he hoped to introduce it to McDonald’s, rose, followed by LTC with a record high hash rate, Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL). Altcoins around the 10th place in terms of market capitalization have risen to buy. Then, BTC also went higher, hitting the year-to-date high that was set after the announcement of Tesla’s financial results on the 26th, and approaching $24,000 with less than $50.
