Borrowing from Warren Buffet: Ripple: #Grayscale bought biggest XRP amount in history on Recent the price dip. Thoughts on the market on 04.01.2021.
#Bitcoin welcomed 2021 with pomp and splendor. ATH was updated yesterday it reached 34832, after which it stabilized in the range of 32700-33800, where it is currently being traded. As of writing this Bitcoin is worth $33500. Total CryptoMarket capitalization is at $881 billion and BTC dominance index of 69.6%.
Financial markets opened on the same wavelength as they closed - risk appetite remains. The dollar index opened with a fall and stabilized around 89.6, oil is rising, BRENT has surpassed the high of December 18, 2020 and reached the levels of February 2020, which was before the collapse of the markets. Gold is trading at 1925 (not at this level since early November) which is natural with such a dollar index, S&P 500 futures are trading near the closing price, Asian indices are growing.
On the crypto market, everything is going according to yesterday's analysis https://t.me/decryptedge/172 Capitalization has once again updated ATH, now at $890.1 billion, the dominance index is decreasing, and the TOP altcoins are starting to grow. Etherum reached $1000, Litecoin $163, BNB $42. With this dominance index, the entire TOP has growth potential.
While Bitcoin indicated support at 32700, let's see how the next day goes. It is important to stay above 30K, which will be in this case, wrote in yesterday's review.
Regarding #XRP, on the one hand, Binance US will delist XRP on January 13.
But everyone has already heard about it. Surprisingly, information that the Grayscale fund before the New Year made the largest one-time purchase of XRP at an average price of 0.24 came as a shock to many. Especially for those who sold XRP in the red. The information that this fund had sold a large batch of XRP and XML was also denied, which was announced in the early days of 2021, when there was no one to refute this information, and panic sellers were draining the asset in panic. Remembering what was said about XRP in the analysis for the year(https://t.me/decryptedge/168)

Yesterday after an #ATH update, #Bitcoin stabilized in the trading range of 29050-29400. Before breaking through and exiting the trading range to another all time high of $34,652 where it's currently been traded. Total crypto market capitalization $874,billion…
Singapore's Three Arrows Capital Buys 6% of Grayscale's $3.5 Billion Bitcoin Fund. Thoughts on the market on 05.01.2021
Bitcoin yesterday dropped from levels above 33300 to 27800, from where it quickly returned above 30K. By this morning, Bitcoin has consolidated above 32K and tried to take 32700. So far, the attempt did not lead to success and now Bitcoin is trading at 32300-32400. Market capitalization is $881 billion with BTC dominance index of 68.3%.
Traditional markets kicked off 2021 with a dip. American indices fell from 1.25% to 1.48%, the S&P 500 closed at 3700.65, although during the session it fell significantly lower, and began trading the session with a new high.
The negative on the market was brought by the situation with the delisting from the American exchanges of three Chinese telecom companies, which could lead to another round of trade and regulatory wars between the two largest economies in the world, as well as the incoming information about doubts about the effectiveness of the vaccine from Pfizer.
Oil fell to 50.64 amid disagreements between Russia and Saudi Arabia at the OPEC meeting. Futures on the S&P 500 are growing, oil is also recovering positions lost yesterday, gold is already at 1946, the dollar index is declining.
For the first time since the beginning of the year, #Bitcoin did not update its high during the day, but showed that it can move not only up. Within a few hours, Bitcoin fell from 33K to 27,800, and also quickly returned above 30K. We wrote about the situation here yesterday.
At the same time, Altcoins held up quite confidently, the Bitcoin dominance index decreased, and the market capitalization increased. Ethereum fixed above 1000 and renewed highs again.
For the market, such a situation is useful, it makes growth healthier, gets rid of weak hands, and improves the quality of the audience.
Speaking on the quality of the audience: Singaporean Investment Company Three Arrows Capital, as part of the disclosure for the SEC, announced its position on Bitcoin by 1.2 billion and plans to increase it. In bitcoin (BTC) terms, Three Arrows’ stake represents around 20,000 BTC of the 365,000 BTC currently held by the Grayscale fund on behalf of investors. It is a fairly large acquisition by any single investor. Source | news.bitcoin.com.
The important level is now 32700-32800. Fixation above will give the opportunity to move to new highs. But the priority option for today is movement in the range of 31000-32800.

Who Gets Custody of Kim #Kardashian’s #Bitcoin #Kanye in Divorce? Thoughts on the market on 06.01.2021
After a short consolidation, Bitcoin went up again and renewed highs. Less than an hour ago, set a new ATH at 35948, after which it bounced to 35300-35400, where it is currently trading. Total CryptoMarket capitalisation is at $944 billion with a #BTC dominance index 69.1%.
Financial markets were up yesterday. The S&P 500 closed at 3726, gaining 0.71%, the Dow Jones rallying 0.55% and the Nasdaq adding 0.95%.
The leaders in gainers were the oil and gas sector, which grew on news of a successful OPEC deal. The increase in production turned out to be less than expected, the Saudis showed unprecedented loyalty, who will voluntarily reduce production in February. Oil reacted as expected - Brent around 54, WTI around 50.
Bitcoin worked out an alternative option from yesterday's review - after consolidating in the range of 31000-32800, the main cryptocurrency managed to gain a foothold above 32800, after which Bitcoin took new highs. Now the ATH of Bitcoin is 35948. As mentioned, the correction below 30K on January 4 created good conditions for further growth. The brains of those who like to talk about the "bubble" and "an unsecured Bitcoin that will soon collapse" has received another blow. Some of them are already looking for options to take out a loan to buy Bitcoin. I hope not you!
Market capitalisation is 50 billion shy to hit 1 trillion. I think that a more significant correction is possible from this level. Altcoins are growing, and the Bitcoin dominance index, which is again above 69%, retains the opportunity to grow further if Bitcoin stabilises.
Unexpectedly good news from the United States - the regulator has allowed banks and savings funds to use #blockchain and stablecoins to conduct payment transactions.
Interestingly one well-known hedge fund One River Asset Management acquired Bitcoin and Ether for 600 million, back in November. And on January 2, there were large purchases on Coinbase.
In another twist, according to a report from celebrity publication Page Six, socialite Kim #Kardashian West and rapper #Kanye West are headed for a hard fork after six years of marriage. Back in July 2018, Matthew Roszak, chairman and co-founder of a blockchain technology firm publicly gifted Kim Kardashian 1 BTC, then worth about $8,000. It’s probably a pittance compared to her income, a point Roszak concedes. Regardless of its value, her Bitcoin will nonetheless come up in divorce proceedings. In California it would be treated like Community Property unless they have a prenuptial agreement, which they probably do.” (We checked: They do, but it’s unclear what their prenup says about gifted digital assets.) Community property refers to a type of income or property acquired after a marriage. Spouses equally own it. And, thus, it can be divided as part of a divorce. A California-based attorney commented. Kardashian too might want to investigate West’s #crypto dealings. The rapper famously told podcaster Joe Rogan—and his legion of listeners—in October 2020 that Bitcoiners “are guys that really have a perspective on what the true liberation of America and humanity will be.” Source | Decrypt
In closing As long as Bitcoin holds above 33700-33500, new highs are likely. A return below these levels will result in a consolidation in the 31000-34000 range. Correction from the capitalisation level of 1 trillion is possible.
As always wishing you a blessed day ahead and remember this is not traditional investment advice, do not take it as financial advice. Must do your own research. #decryptedge

Yesterday we didn't have our review, nonetheless #Bitcoin continues to hit highs, with its last ATH at $41,940.09 just a few hours ago as of writing this. Before this there were two corrections in the early morning which were bought out from the level of 36600, after which Bitcoin returned above 38K, it has since broken this level and is now trading within the 39,500-41500 range. Total CryptoMarket capitalization 1,024 billion, and BTC dominance index of 70.1%.
Stock markets were up yesterday. The Dow Jones updated the ATH, the S&P 500, which closed at 3803.79, and the Nasdaq (2.56% up) did the same. Oil continues to rise, while gold declines slightly as investors are willing to take risks and look forward to further growth in the stock market. There are no economic reasons for such growth.
There is Congress and the Senate under the Democrats who are ready to generate dollars more actively than it was before. Biden has already said that the 900 billion aid package is just the beginning, so the market reaction is quite expected. Now S&P 500 futures are growing, and Asian markets are growing too.
Bitcoin renewed its highs several times, reached the psychological level of 40K, the last ATH at 41940. Regarding the capture of 1 trillion in capitalization, as I spoke about here (https://t.me/decryptedge/185) - the level was taken several times and rolled back, now it is taken again, if we hold on, further growth will continue.
The Bitcoin Dominance Index above 70% indicates that the growth of alts is not over yet, the potential remains. The 1 trillion physiological level helped by Ripple, which rose more than 40% yesterday.
*There is a consensus on the market again about further growth, and this is dangerous.* A correction is inevitable, and the only question is, will it happen right now, or after another wave of altcoin growth? The second option is more likely.
If today there are no surprises, and Bitcoin leaves for the weekend above 38K, (or at least does not fall below 37200-37000), at the weekend I expect an increase in altcoins and a fall in the dominance index in the range of 65-67%. I consider this option a priority.
An alternative option is to take 41K fast. Then it will be the same, but one floor higher...42K
The fall of Bitcoin below 36,500 with consolidation and the loss of 1 trillion of capitalization - there will be several days of consolidation and further growth.
If you prioritize the options, then 1-2-3.
Option 1 is possible with a further transition to option 2.
Interestingly, the Bithumb exchange (the largest exchange in South Korea) is going to be acquired by the Nexon Group corporation. The estimated amount of the deal is about $ 457 million. FYI: a report by Reuters back in APRIL 12, 2019 a Local media named Amazon, Comcast and Electronic Arts as initial bidders, but Reuters could not verify that. Chinese gaming giant Tencent, its South Korean peer Kakao, as well as private equity firms Bain Capital, MBK Partners and KKR submitted initial bids, according to five sources.
So in closing: Do not forget that the end of the market cycle may already be - the TOP alts have grown significantly, and since the capitalization has hit the physiological level of 1 trillion, it can be difficult to pass this level without a rollback.
The situation will clear up over the weekend. There will be either a rollback and a retry of taking 1 trillion. (We recall how 400 billion was taken quite recently or the level of 1 trillion already fixing above it The first option is more likely.
But if the second works, the market will not have reverse gear at all for 7-10 days.
As always wishing you a blessed weekend ahead, and must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment of financial advice. #Decryptedge

Boom!! Even the banks want #Bitcoin. #Morgan Stanley just filed an SEC form declaring they now own 792,627 shares (10.9%) of #MicroStrategy. Thoughts on the market on 09.01.2021
Bitcoin once again after renewing its highs at 42125, it dropped to 38700. The correction quickly bought out and for the last 4 hours Bitcoin has been trading in the range of 39600-40600. UPD. While writing the Review, Bitcoin has since dropped to 39200. Total CryptoMarket Capitalization is at 1070 billion and BTC dominance index of 70.1%
Everything was calm and positive on the stock markets yesterday. The S&P 500 rose 0.55% to close at 3824, fresh new highs, the Nasdaq rose 1.03%, and the Dow Jones rose 0.18%. Weak labor market data were ignored by the stock market, but this is becoming the norm lately - markets are growing on data about a weak economy, because it means that more money will be given. Oil rose to 56.25, gold fell by 1849, and the dollar index closed just above 90. The markets are optimistic and risk appetite is there.
💥💣💣💥💣 From calling Bitcoin a fraud to now owning it! Morgan Stanley just filed an SEC form(see attached) declaring they now own 792,627 shares (10.9%) of MicroStrategy. They've increased their position by 360%, adding almost 650,000 shares since Q3 2020. Morgan Stanley now owns 792,627 shares of MicroStrategy, bringing its total ownership in the company best known for holding over $2 billion in bitcoin to 10.9%, according to a filing made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Given MicroStrategy's shares are largely tracking the price of bitcoin, which is up more than 40% this year following a 300% gain in 2020, it's likely Morgan Stanley views its investment as a way to benefit from bitcoin's historic run without actually being a HODLer. Microstrategy initially bought 21,454 BTC on August 11 before adding another 16,796 on September 14 to complete this first round of buying. Since then, the listed firm subsequently increased its BTC holdings to 70,470 coins. At the time of writing, the listed company’s BTC holdings were valued at nearly $2.4 billion. I wonder who is fooling who? Source | Coindesk.
With #Bitcoin ATH now above 42K, there was a sell off that led to a correction which was bought out, now we are consolidating between 39-40K.
The dominance index is still above 70%, which indicates a high growth potential for altcoins. If Bitcoin is stably holding in the current trading range, or better yet, fixing above 40K, there is every chance of seeing a local alt season over the weekend.
If Bitcoin does not hold above 39,000, and especially if it goes below 38,000, the alt season is postponed for now. Most of the top has already grown (Ether, Litecoin, ADA, BNB). One could also talk about the end of the market cycle, but a high dominance index suggests that the main money is still in Bitcoin, and there has not yet been an overflow into alts.
The last alt-season, like in January 2018, when any type of scam or shitcoin grew has not been seen in 2021. We will not see a dominance index below 50%. It is not a fact that we will see even below 60%. But the potential of the TOP to grow by 20-30%, with a decrease in dominance to 67-65%, remains.

One could also talk about the end of the market cycle, but a high dominance index suggests that the main money is still in Bitcoin, and there has not yet been an overflow into alts.
The last alt-season, like in January 2018, when any type of scam or shitcoin grew has not been seen in 2021. We will not see a dominance index below 50%. It is not a fact that we will see even below 60%. But the potential of the TOP to grow by 20-30%, with a decrease in dominance to 67-65%, remains.
As always wishing you a blessed weekend ahead, and must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment of financial advice. #Decryptedge
