While some of us are still recovering from Bloody Valentine’s day, others are celebrating a $50k break-out. Congrats!
Bullish: On a macro level it’s kinda hard to make a correct prediction, if BTC keeps printing little bull flags then you can expect Alts to follow. Michael Saylor reaffirmed his message to CFOs to buy Bitcoin, claiming it’s a superior asset to gold.
Bearish: Shorting from here may look appealing, but given over-leveraged greed and choppy market conditions… it’s probably safer to diversify and buy the stock of companies who are buying crypto. Or set some low bids on spot in case of a dip. Take a look at mTSLA/UST farm on Pancakeswap, or maybe get some Paypal?
You decide!
