Daily briefing: Bitcoin’s recovery slows despite global financial markets recovering

 6mins Read 

Luno Team

The Bitcoin price is just about holding above the $50,000 mark this morning, but has drifted slightly downwards since yesterday. The leading cryptocurrency is currently trading for a couple of hundred dollars over $50k. Other cryptocurrencies have seen similar price action, with Ethereum also dropping slightly, changing hands for just above the $4,300 level this morning.

The drop comes despite the global financial markets continuing to climb. The Nasdaq yesterday jumped 3%, the biggest one-day gain since March, while the S&P 500 rose 2% and the Dow Jones rose 1.4%. The UK index, meanwhile, also closed at its highest level since 15 November and has now recovered the losses it made over the weekend.

The price drop means market sentiment continues to look weak. Fear and Greed Index has hovered between “Fear” and “Extreme Fear” again over the past seven days. On Monday, the index hit a bottom of 16 as panic spread across the market following the weekend sell-off. We haven’t seen such a fearful market in almost four months. Market sentiment bounced up on Tuesday as the market recovered strongly, but we are still in the “fear” area.

“It would go to $1 million a coin. It could do that because everyone, it’s not U.S. investors, the whole world will look at one thing that they can’t make more of and that would be bitcoin.”

Elon Musk wants Twitter to be a free speech town square

  Elon Musk wants Twitter to be a free speech town square by   daysall     April 18, 2022 0 SHARES Elon Musk’s vision for Twitter is a public town square where there are few restrictions on what people can or can’t say on the Internet. But the utopian ideal envisioned by the Tesla CEO ceased to exist long ago and doesn’t take into account what’s happening in the real world, tech executives, Twitter employees and Silicon Valley insiders say. As Musk seeks a $43 billion hostile takeover bid for Twitter, critics say his ambition for what the platform should be — a largely unpoliced space rid of censorship — is naive, would hurt the company’s growth prospects and would render the platform unsafe. Twitter, Facebook and other social networks have spent billions of dollars and employed armies of people to create and enforce policies to reduce hate speech, misinformation and other toxic communication that degrades public discourse. In doing so, they’ve provoked the ire not o...

The US and China both have their eyes on a country at the heart of the Indo-pacific

Indonesian light frigate KRI Bunt     Tensions continue to rise in the Indo-Pacific, where China's economic growth and military modernization have drawn the attention and concern of politicians and defense officials in the region and around the world. As China and the US compete for influence in the region, they are setting their sights on a country that has historically resisted getting involved in foreign affairs: Indonesia. With over 270 million people, Indonesia is the fourth-largest country in the world and the third-largest in Asia. Made up of over 17,000 islands that straddle the Pacific and Indian oceans, it has a commanding position over the vital Strait of Malacca and the traditional maritime approaches to Australia. "The geopolitical challenges of the future, Indonesia sits in an incredibly important strategic location," Michael Green, senior vice president for Asia and Japan chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Insider.
