Crypto AM Daily - a roundup of today's market news

The prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum are down today, with Bitcoin trading for $16,060 and Ethereum valued at $1,119, this morning.

It’s a continuation of a trend that’s been ongoing in crypto markets for a week now, with the majority of cryptocurrencies feeling the pressure. 

Crypto indicators are reflecting current market conditions. The Fear & Greed Index continues to hover in “Extreme Fear” as investors navigate the current environment.

Yesterday’s Crypto AM Daily in association with Luno

In the markets

The Bitcoin economy

*Data can be found at https://terminal.bytetree.com/ 

Total crypto market cap

The total capitalisation of the entire cryptocurrency market at time of writing is currently $794.995 billion.

What Bitcoin did yesterday

We closed yesterday – November 20 2022 – at a price of $16,291.83. The daily high yesterday was $16,746.78, and the daily low was $16,248.69.

Bitcoin market capitalisation

Bitcoin’s market capitalisation at time of writing is $308.02 billion. To put it into context, the market cap of gold is $11.493 trillion and Tesla is $560.57 billion.

Bitcoin volume

The total spot trading volume reported by all exchanges over the last 24 hours was $29.373 billion. High volumes can indicate that a significant price movement has stronger support and is more likely to be sustained.

Volatility

The price volatility of Bitcoin over the last 30 days is 53.35%.

Fear and Greed Index

Market sentiment today is 21, in Extreme Fear.

Bitcoin’s market dominance

Bitcoin’s market dominance today is 40.93. Its lowest ever recorded dominance was 37.09 on January 1 2018.

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The daily RSI is currently 28.75. Values of 70 or above indicate that an asset is becoming overbought and may be primed for a trend reversal or experience a correction in price – an RSI reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition. 

Convince your Nan: Soundbite of the day

“Bitcoin has come much further and much faster than people expected. There was a saying in the early dotcom era about “internet time,” and bitcoin time seems to be moving even faster.”

Adam Back, Co-Founder/CEO Blockstream

What they said yesterday

Well said…

The killer app for crypto is money, and the best engineered crypto network to serve as money is #Bitcoin. It is economically, technically, & ethically superior to everything else, so I suggest you study Satoshi's protocol & Bitcoin's provenance before making major commitments.

— Michael Saylor⚡️ (@saylor) November 20, 2022

Freedom comes in many forms…

This is INSANE!

A difference in perspective…

Buffett and Munger, if you listen to their talks, don't dismiss bitcoin.

Instead, they *hate* bitcoin. They view it as undermining central banking.

They actually understand the idea, but don't benefit from it. They don't like the separation of money and state. https://t.co/PVS0CkfELw
