Stocks and Petrol

Traditional markets made a tumultuous start this week.

As of writing this news, we can say that Gold has approached its highest level since 2011. However, there is a decrease in oil prices. Andreas Antonopoulos said this could benefit local cryptocurrency miners.

This trend has disappeared in the past 10 days and miner sales have declined. The decline in the desire to sell BTC shares overlaps with consumer activity. Accumulators’ withdrawal rates have reached the highest level since December 2018. Also, 60 percent of the Bitcoin supply was not moved within a year or more, which is an important consideration when fluctuations are considered. However, whether the withdrawals from the stock market is a harbinger of a bull run are among the topics discussed.
