Bitcoin has melted down, as the FTX platform faces insolvency issues. Binance came to the rescue, offering to rescue non-US divisions of the company. This follows a bank run in FTX's token, FTT, after Binance sold over $1B of the token, causing a 'bank run' which impacted the entire crypto market. The whole ordeal spurred worries of liquidity and solvency issues in crypto. Major cryptocurrencies plummeted as did the stock of any major platform that sells crypto (e.g. Coinbase and Robinhood). Bitcoin was edging higher, making meager gains. It was starting to look like it was able to hold the $20K's, but after the news it plummeted down to the $18K's, which we anticipated as a floor. This was not the end of the move, as the selloff bled into the APAC session. We have now breached our (yearly) low of $17.6K, which we anticipated to hold as a floor. We are currently hovering below this level at $17.5K or so. If we can manage to pivot, watch for Bitcoin to claw itself back to $18.6K, where we may equilibrate as the markets digest the news.
