Bitcoin Is Doing Well, but Will the Bears Soon Take Over? [livebitcoinnews.com]
Bitcoin has been doing quite well as of late. Over the past month, it has entered and stayed within bearish territory, and it’s currently trading for approximately $9,300. Analysts are suggesting that bitcoin is above the “upper-band limit of the GTI Vera Band Indicator.” This has happened twice already over the past year, and a correction immediately followed each time. Thus, could bitcoin potentially fall back a few steps?
They also use the following classic economist joke to illustrate their point: "Two economists walking down the street see a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk. The first economist says, ‘Look at that $20 bill.’ The second says, ‘That can't really be a $20 bill lying there, because if it were, someone would have picked it up already.’ So they walk on, leaving the $20 bill undisturbed.”
Brexit Is Done: Will Britain’s Departure From The EU Boost Bitcoin Price? [zycrypto.com]
After three and a half years of a deadlock, the Britain-Brexit breakup is official. The UK officially left the European Union at 11 pm on Friday, January 31, 2020, making it the first member state to ever depart from the bloc. While this political separation is a huge feat for the UK, it raises so many questions about the economy of the country post-Brexit. In particular, the UK has departed without a deal which is likely to reduce investors’ confidence in the pound. As such, these investors will be looking to hedge their depreciating currency with non-correlated assets like bitcoin.
Why Stock Market Bulls Had Better Pray the 49ers Win the Super Bowl [ccn.com]

“We can use this recent low that we’ve seen back in December that connects back to December 2018 as kind of now redefining the parabolic advance that could be in the process of developing now. And that has implications. I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself because I can make an argument here that I’m not sure really can be made yet – that we’re going a lot higher than $100,000, and it won’t be until 2021.”
It is important to note that although many altcoins have been able to post notable gains over the past several days and weeks, Bitcoin still has significant dominance over the aggregated market, suggesting that it will have to cede some of this control in order for altcoins to incur any notable upside in 2020. BTC’s dominance does, however, appear to be at a critical level, and which direction it goes next could provide insight into where the altcoin market in general is heading next.

For stablecoins like Tether, banks remain their greatest weakness [ambcrypto.com]
The rise of bitcoin and its increasing popularity along with its ability to dominate the cryptocurrency world has led to a barrage of altcoins. Among these King Coin aspirants, recent debates have revolved around the role of stablecoins and CBDCs regarding their pitfalls and innovations that they bring to the table.
