Bitcoin Weekly (5/23/2022)

Bitcoin was in the red for a record eighth-consecutive last week.  Last week the "king of crypto" clung close to the $30K level for much of the week never going to much below or too high deciding that level was just about right. When Bitcoin was hovering back over the $30K mark,  analyst were calling it all sorts of things from a technical standpoint - relief rally, bear market retest, dead cat bounce, feel free to take you pick. The real question is have we bottomed out? Given all the uncertainty in the market and pending economic turmoil the chances of more retracing from BTC is pretty strong. There is also little interest in Bitcoin right now with on-chain data showing a dramatic slowdown in trading volume outside of the reaction to the recent Luna collapse. This week the World Economic Forum meets in-person for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Davos, Switzerland. Starting today and running through May 26 the remarks coming out of the meeting could trigger market movements. The Crypto fear and greed index, highlighted below, is at 10 and remains in "extreme fear" currently a sign that investors are very nervous about Bitcoins price direction. **Bitcoin Price Statistics** *(as of 5/23/2022, 8:00pm EST)* Bitcoin Price = $29,135 Last Week = $30,106 Weekly High = $30,684 Weekly Low = $28,772 Market Cap = $579,490,904,776 Market Cap Dominance = 42.39% All-Time High = $69,044.67 *on November 10, 2021* statistics provided by CoinGecko **Ten Must-Read Bitcoin Articles** Welcome to the Zombie Cryptocalypse - Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't dead just yet (Wired) https://www.wired.com/story/bitcoin-ethereum-price-cryptocalypse-david-gerard/ Bitcoin's current setup creates an interesting risk-reward situation for bulls (Coin Telegraph) https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-s-current-setup-creates-an-interesting-risk-reward-situation-for-bulls How Bitcoin can unlock the energy of the ocean for 1 billion people (Bitcoin Magazine) https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/bitcoin-unlocks-ocean-energy CFTC Chairman confirms Bitcon, Ether are commodities (Bitcoin.com) https://news.bitcoin.com/cftc-chairman-confirms-bitcoin-ether-are-commodities/ Lagarde says crypto is 'worth nothing' and should be regulated (Bloomberg) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-21/lagarde-says-crypto-is-worth-nothing-and-should-be-regulated China Can’t Seem to Stop Bitcoin Mining (CoinDesk) https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/05/22/china-cant-seem-to-stop-bitcoin-mining/ Crypto is starting to lose its cool – just look at El Salvador (The Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/21/bitcoin-losing-its-cool-look-at-el-salvador Morgan Stanley, BlockFi Execs disagree on spot Bitcoin ETFs (Blockworks) https://blockworks.co/morgan-stanley-blockfi-execs-disagree-on-spot-bitcoin-etfs/ Analyst who called Bitcoin's drop to $30,000 believes it could fall to $20,000 imminently (Forbes) https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2022/05/20/analyst-who-called-bitcoins-drop-to-30000-believes-it-could-fall-to-20000-imminently/?sh=76ddee324ea5 Bank of England Governor says Bitcoin is not practical (Bitcoin Magazine) https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/bank-of-england-governor-says-bitcoin-isnt-practical **Bitcoin Fun Fact of the Week** Yesterday, May 22, was Bitcoin Pizza Day.
