It has taken bitcoin just a little over two months to recover from the damages done by the collapse of SBF’s former crypto empire, as the asset skyrocketed to over $21,000 earlier today.

At the time of this writing, the BTC dominance sits at 38.1%, having peaked at over 38.4% last week.  Bitcoin’s price increased by a total of...

The micro scale doesn’t give much hope either, as BTC slipped to a new 10-day low of way below $16,500 yesterday. Bitcoin’s Nightmare Year Comes to an End After the massive bull market of 2021, in which bitcoin skyrocketed to an all-time high of...

The last week of 2022 ends with a bang but not in terms of price action, which remains as dull as possible. However, it was marked by multiple events, so let’s dive in.
