Timeline of Bitcoin

The chief investment officer (CIO) of Bitwise Investments, Matt Hougan, is naming his top three crypto assets. Hougan says in a new Stansberry Research interview that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the “two big horses” that investors should have in their crypto portfolio. “I'll talk about three that catch my eye right now.

On Thursday, the cryptocurrency market had a major upward surge, helping the weekend get off to a good start. A 100% increase in trade volume helped the global crypto market valuation rise by more than 3%.

The crypto world has come of age as it has now become a global village of thousands of cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications. While established crypto brands like Bitcoin and Ethereum are still relevant, an influx of new and innovative cryptocurrencies like Big Eyes Coin have already made their presence felt.

Ethereum continued to trade close to a key resistance level of $1,700 on Saturday, following Friday's U.S. non-farm payrolls (NFP) report. Yesterday's report showed that 517,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy in January, better than the 185,000 many were expecting. Bitcoin mostly consolidated however, as traders moved to take recent profits.

Bitcoin continues to see a bullish uptrend across the board, with the derivatives market volume witnessing an upturn in fortunes. BTC prices in futures contracts have begun to exceed spot market prices indicating that traders are gaining confidence in the derivatives market.

The past weekend was pretty bullish for the entire space as the Bitcoin price broke out of the consolidation and formed a new ATH above $24,000. Woefully, the trend has flipped notably as the bears appear to have gained dominance and attempting the cap the upper resistance at $23,500.

On Saturday, the cryptocurrency market showed a decrease in its previous level of volatility, with a 1.5% drop in the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Despite this, profit-taking in the crypto market remains high, with over $98 million liquidated in the past 24 hours.

The latest US Federal Reserve policy has had a big impact on the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin and other digital assets saw a surge in value after the Fed said it would limit interest rate hikes to 25 basis points.

With the latest gain, Bitcoin is likely to encounter its seventh “golden cross” in the past ten years, having risen more than 40% since the year's beginning. A “golden cross” pattern is expected this month, according to the daily period Bitcoin price chart.
