From new analysis on Bitcoin’s sudden surge above $7K to the latest on Ethereum 2.0, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
A pair of crypto analysts say Bitcoin’s big surge in the last month and a half shows the strength of BTC’s fundamentals. Economist Alex Krüger says the fact that Bitcoin’s rise began without a rush of new money from retail traders is revealing.
This $BTC rally is happening without the general public yet involved en masse. This is very bullish. pic.twitter.com/H0wMEn56ND

A fellow crypto analyst known as Galaxy is on the same page, calling BTC’s recovery “mental”.
The large-scale price recovery is mental.
235 days of bear market already erased in the last 40 days of bull.
And this time without massive media coverage, ico craze or heavy dumb money flowing in.
Just pure fundamentals. #bitcoin pic.twitter.com/shv4fRPHIS

Crypto trader Scott Melker says Bitcoin just displayed one of its most “powerfully bullish” moves in the coin’s history.
The $6400 area was the most traded for bitcoin in 2018. There was heavy daily, weekly, monthly supply there – and price just nuked it in one shot. This is one of the most powerfully bullish moves that bitcoin has ever made. pic.twitter.com/ldTtoOZkYE

Meanwhile, analyst Willy Woo is outlining the mechanics of the short squeeze to explain the dramatic jumps in the price of BTC.
4) A tidal wave of buys cascade through the orderbooks, a chain reaction, the price goes vertical.
5) Whale payday. The whales that bought up the market sheparding the price up now dump their positions at profit.
6) Blow-off. The price comes down to its organic levels.
