Bitcoin Weekly (8/22/2022)

Bitcoin (BTC) had a down week after being in the green for several weeks in a row. We are changing the stats, looking at the weekly close numbers as of Sunday instead of at Monday's publication time to give us a standard timeframe each week for comparison purposes and to be in line with generally accepted weekly numbers. Bitcoin had its worst week in two months as global markets decided to turn risk off and move away from risky assets like crypto. BTC was down around 10% for the week. After trending slightly up for most of August, volatility returned to the markets. The downward price movement flew in the face of miners with the hash rate rebounding from their “capitulation” phase, typically a sign that the bottom is in. Given the downward pressure, short term Bitcoin could fall below the $20K mark once again in the coming week. One exchanges, the amount of Bitcoin has dropped to four-year lows. Glassnode confirmed what on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant stated earlier in the week in a tweet that stated "Balance on Exchanges just reached a 4-year low of 2,342,202.837 BTC." https://twitter.com/glassnodealerts/status/1561477054750670848?s=20&t=F-d28Ju9WGgi2GkvgNN00Q This week should be interesting as officials from the Federal Reserve Fed officials will meet with global bankers at the annual Jackson Hole Symposium Thursday through Saturday. The Fed could give signals to their latest stance on inflation and potential interest rate moves during the meetings. The Crypto fear and greed index, highlighted below, is at 29 down 16 points from last week despite the recent run up and remains in the "fear" range for the fifth-straight week. This represented about a 40% drop in investor sentiment over the past week. **Ten Must-Read Bitcoin Articles** 3 reasons why the Bitcoin price bottom is not in (Coin Telegraph) https://cointelegraph.com/news/3-reasons-why-the-bitcoin-price-bottom-is-not-in How Craig Wright solved the electronic cash puzzle with Bitcoin (Coin Geek) https://coingeek.com/how-craig-wright-solved-the-electronic-cash-puzzle-with-bitcoin/ Why Bitcoin Could Never Have Been Invented In a University (Bitcoin Magazine) https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-could-never-be-invented-in-a-university Houston Texans Become The First NFL Franchise To Accept Bitcoin For Suites (The Dales Report) https://thedalesreport.com/crypto-nfts/houston-texans-become-the-first-nfl-franchise-to-accept-bitcoin-for-suites/ FT Cryptofinance: Bitcoin needs a story to sell (Financial Times) https://www.ft.com/content/14cfb2cb-79f4-4ef9-ad08-11264175ed9f Bitcoin 'Isn't Going Away,' Digital Assets Company CEO Says (Bitcoinist) https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-is-here-to-stay-2/ Surprising things you can buy with Bitcoin (Urban Matter) https://urbanmatter.com/surprising-things-that-you-can-purchase-with-bitcoin/ Hackers exploit zero-day bug to steal from General Bytes Bitcoin ATMs (Coin Telegraph) https://cointelegraph.com/news/hackers-exploit-zero-day-bug-to-steal-from-general-bytes-bitcoin-atms Skybridge's Scaramucci says two things will prop up demand for bitcoin (CNBC) https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/15/skybridges-scaramucci-on-two-things-that-will-prop-up-bitcoin-demand.html Bitcoin’s Privacy Problem—And What Cypherpunks Are Doing to Solve It (Decrypt) https://decrypt.co/107376/bitcoin-privacy-problem-what-cypherpunks-are-doing **Bitcoin Price Statistics** *(as of 8/21/2022, weekly close)* Bitcoin Price = $21,510 Last Week = $24,055 Weekly High = $24,438 Weekly Low = $20,945 Market Cap = $407,791,274,065 Market Cap Dominance =38.719% All-Time High = $69,044.67 *on November 10, 2021* **Bitcoin Fun Fact of the Week** This week the average transaction fees on the Bitcoin blockchain fell below the $1.00 mark for the first time in over two years.
