Bitcoin (BTC 0.80%) is up an incredible 600% since August 2020
Given that Bitcoin (BTC 0.80%) is up an incredible 600% since August 2020, it might seem incomprehensible that any tech stock has been able to keep up with that blistering pace.
But what if I told you that one tech stock is up more than 1,800% during that time period? That tech stock is Strategy (MSTR 13.00%), the company formerly known as MicroStrategy. It might be the only tech stock with more potential than any cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin (BTC) clawed its way back to nearly $82,000, staging a relief rally after dipping below $78,000 late Sunday, leading to a slight run-up in major tokens.
- Bitcoin recovered to nearly $82,000 after a dip below $78,000, causing a slight increase in major tokens such as Ether, BNB Chain’s bnb, XRP, and Cardano’s ADA.
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed decisions on XRP, Dogecoin, and Litecoin filings, keeping the market on edge.
- Senator Cynthia Lummis reintroduced the BITCOIN Act, advocating for the U.S. to acquire 1 million BTC as a strategic reserve, sparking speculation about the possible inclusion of major tokens in such a reserve in the future.
Ether (ETH), BNB Chain’s BNB, XRP and Cardano’s ADA rose as much as 3%, alleviating some losses from the past 7 days. The broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20) added nearly 4%.
Elsewhere, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delaying decisions on XRP, Dogecoin, and Litecoin filings. Bloomberg analysts had previously pegged Litecoin’s odds at 90%, Doge at 75%, and XRP at 65% for an ETF approval by year-end, yet the regulator’s hesitation is keeping the market on edge.
Traders still eye a pullback to the $74,000 level, and below, before an eventual push higher.
“Previously, a similar decline would complete a corrective pullback, attracting buyers,” Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro chief market analyst, told CoinDesk in an email.
“However, the chances of such an outcome are now lower than in previous years due to the powerful influence of traditional financial companies, which has strengthened the link between the crypto market and stock dynamics.
The scenario of a pullback to the $70-$74K area still looks the most probable for us.
This is all the truer as the consolidation and rebound in early March has taken the short-term oversold stance out of the market,” Kuptsikevich added.
