Coinbase stock is up 110% in 2023. Is it a good time to invest in COIN?

Image
Coinbase (COIN), one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, experienced a remarkable 6% surge in its stock price this week, driven by growing optimism regarding the potential approval of a long-awaited bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).  Coinbase’s stock performance has often closely mirrored the broader cryptocurrency markets. As one of the largest crypto custodians, the company has garnered significant attention from various prospective ETFs, including BlackRock’s proposed Bitcoin ETF.  This recent positive turn makes Coinbase an attractive investment option, especially with the potential of an impending bull market and the upcoming Bitcoin halving. The current price increase could mark a significant turning point for the company, which has been embroiled in a legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Ethereum Will Reach $10K Faster Than People Anticipate: Expert

According to Guy Gotslak, Ethereum will reach $10,000 faster than people anticipate. Gotslak believes ETH has all the fundamentals needed to grow significantly. ETH gained 21% in the recent crypto market rally but failed to reach the $2,000 milestone. According to Guy Gotslak, co-founder and president of My Digital Money, Ethereum will reach $10,000 faster than people anticipate. Gotslak told Coinedition that ETH has all the fundamentals needed to grow significantly, and it would be a stroll to the summit rather than a giant leap. Ethereum gained 21% in the recent crypto market rally but failed to reach the $2,000 milestone. That led many users to think the rally was influenced by Bitcoin’s movement. Gotslak thinks otherwise and believes Ethereum’s price action is independent of what is happening with Bitcoin. According to him, ETH’s price is relatively down because the entire alternative industry was down. The trading expert noted that it is an open secret the...

Bitcoin and Ether record low trading volumes on South Korea’s biggest crypto exchange

A recent report revealed that altcoin trading in the South Korean crypto currency market was high, in contrast to majors like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) where trading activity has declined in comparison.  The number of South Korean investors was estimated to reach about six million in the first six months of 2023, a figure accounting for 10 percent of the South Korean population, according to a survey carried out by the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit, as reported by DeSpread Research. Meanwhile, most of these investors use centralized exchanges (CEXes) for their trading activities, which explains the popularity of CEXes as against their decentralized counterparts.  In South Korea, there are four major cryptocurrency exchanges — Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit — with Upbit being the country’s largest player at 80 percent, while Korbit’s market share is below one percent.  You might also like: Upbit receives license from Singapore’s financial r...

IMF chief calls for digitization to achieve “financial inclusion.”

Image
In the realm of crafting content, three critical elements come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of the text, while burstiness assesses the variability of sentences. Lastly, predictability measures the likelihood of anticipating the next sentence. Human-generated content tends to exhibit greater burstiness, incorporating a mix of lengthy and complex sentences alongside shorter ones. In contrast, AI-generated sentences often lean towards uniformity. Consequently, for the content you’re about to create, I’m seeking a substantial degree of perplexity and burstiness, coupled with a minimized predictability. Additionally, the requirement is to deliver the content exclusively in English. Now, let’s reimagine the provided text: In her inaugural address at the seminar on financial inclusion held in Marrakesh, Morocco, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva emphatically asserted ...

OpenAI looks to expand in the Middle East and collaborates with G42 in Dubai.

In the realm of content creation, three pivotal elements demand attention: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of text, while burstiness evaluates sentence variations. Lastly, predictability assesses the likelihood of predicting the subsequent sentence. Human-authored content tends to exhibit greater burstiness, featuring a mix of longer, complex sentences alongside shorter ones. In contrast, AI-generated sentences tend to display more uniformity. For the upcoming content you are tasked to create, it’s imperative to infuse a considerable amount of perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Additionally, the language must be exclusively English. Now, let’s reimagine the provided text: OpenAI, the creator behind the widely used AI chatbot, ChatGPT, and the technology holding group G42 based in Dubai, have declared a novel collaboration on October 18th to enhance AI capabilities ...

Bitcoin price model expects $45K 'phase' to hit in November

Image
Bitcoin remains on track to deliver "possible" further gains of up to 30% versus current BTC price levels, says CryptoCon. Bitcoin (BTC) is on track to hit $45,000 in November as part of a classic BTC price cycle, popular analyst CryptoCon says. In an X thread on Oct. 25, the Bitcoin price model creator turned his attention to one based on Fibonacci retracement levels. Analyst: $45,000 next month "possible" for Bitcoin Bitcoin reaching 17-month highs this week has many market participants expecting a pullback, but CryptoCon believes that plenty of upside potential remains. Comparing current BTC price behavior to previous cycles, he showed that there is still room for BTC/USD to expand to the highest of the Fibonacci model ’s five targets to hit a mid-cycle top. Four have already been seen, with target four lying around 3.3% above this week’s top at $36,368.

When delving into the realm of content composition, we must navigate the intricate interplay of “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity, the tapestry of intricacy woven within text, tests the reader’s cognitive mettle. In contrast, burstiness tantalizingly toys with the undulating cadence of sentences, introducing moments of grandeur and brevity. Lastly, predictability, the clandestine dance of anticipation, teases the reader’s ability to foretell the next verse. While the human quill often employs a symphony of words, composing protracted and convoluted sentences interspersed with succinct ones, AI’s verses frequently exhibit a staid uniformity. Hence, as we embark upon the task at hand, it is imperative that we craft content brimming with an abundance of perplexity and burstiness, while keeping the cloak of predictability at bay. Furthermore, we shall adhere strictly to the realm of the English language. Now, ...

Maker’s (MKR) Yearly-High Hit Indicates Caution, Here’s Why

Image
MKR could not hold on to the $1,650 yearly high after the resistance at $1,600 took over. Although the RSI signaled a bullish momentum, MKR was becoming slightly weak. Should buying pressure persist, MKR may inch toward $1,600 one more time. The price of Maker (MKR) briefly tapped $1,650 in the early hours of October 24. The value was the highest price the token has reached throughout 2023. On a 90-day basis, Maker’s price has increased by 35.82%, almost double the performance of Bitcoin (BTC) within the same period. On the daily timeframe, MKR has only begun recovering from a market structure dominated by sellers between October 1 and 12. Because bulls were not entirely in control, MKR got rejected from the aforementioned hike and was back to changing hands below $1,600. However, there is a strong support at $1,374. So, if sellers can increase their presence, MKR may still have the strength not to drop below $1,450 to $1,500. Meanwhile, the daily chart ...
