We start off this week’s show with the latest news in the markets:
Stablecoin data points to ‘healthy appetite’ from bulls and possible Bitcoin rally to $25K
Bitcoin rallied 11% between Jan. 20 and Jan. 21, reaching the $23,000 level and shattering bears’ expectations for a pullback to $20,000. Even more notable is that the move brought demand from Asia-based retail investors, according to data from a key stablecoin premium indicator. Another bit of bullish information came on Jan. 20 after United States Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller reinforced the market expectation of a 25 basis point interest rate increase in February. Do these and other odds favor a rally toward $24,000 or maybe even $25,000?
