Hi Everyone,
Despite bullish news from El Salvador, Texas, and State Street the crypto market continues to move sideways. Bitcoin has been moving in the range of $32K-$40K. In my opinion, we’re in an accumulation phase since the correction that took place in April. The macro level charts such as the Bitcoin Stock To Flow Model show we are still on track.See below what PlanB had to say about the current market volatility.
Patience is the key here and I believe this accumulation phase will be over soon.
Most bullish news from this week
El Salvador officially makes Bitcoin a legal tender and will be using Volcano energy to mine bitcoin. Expect other countries to follow suit. (source)
