WEEKLY CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKET ANALYSIS

Hello, crypto traders welcome to this week’s 154th edition of Cryptonaire Weekly. The overall Cryptocurrency Market Cap stands at $394 Billion. We have seen a $29 Billion increase in the Market Cap since last week. Bitcoin price is currently around $13,101 from $11,743 last week and has increased by 11.56% and Ether price is now at $395 from $378 last week and has increased by 4.5%. The current market cap for bitcoin is $243 Billion, and for Altcoins, the current market cap is $151 Billion.

The biggest news of last week was PayPal’s decision to allow its customers to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies using PayPal apps. The payment giant also opened the doors of its 26 million sellers to its clients who want to purchase using virtual coins.

This move by PayPal could potentially boost the crypto userbase as it has about 346 million users compared to Bitcoin’s 187 million users. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz recently said that PayPal’s decision could force banks such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America, to take the crypto plunge.

JPMorgan’s Global Markets Strategy division, in a note to its clients, said that Bitcoin competes with gold as an “alternative” currency, but Bitcoin’s low market capitalization compared to that of gold offers it a “considerable” upside in the long-term.

Abra co-founder and CEO Bill Barhydt believes that the money printing by the governments will eventually make fiat currencies worthless. Therefore, Barhydt has considerably increased his Bitcoin holdings in the past few weeks, which is now over 50% of his total investment portfolio.

The PayPal news is a huge positive for the crypto sector but we do not think chasing prices is a good strategy. After the initial frenzy, the price could give back some of the gains, which could offer an opportunity for the traders to buy at lower levels. Percentage of Total Market Capitalization (Dominance)
