The S&P 500 Index dropped 2.53% last week and 2.39% the week before. This shows that Bitcoin has decoupled from the S&P 500 Index in the short term and may chart its own course. However, the path higher may not be easy. The Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting on Nov. 1 may cause some volatility, but it will li be short-lived as no surprises are expected.

As October inches towards its last week, Dogecoin (DOGE) made sure talk about a monthly rally did not go without materializing. In the last 30 days, DOGE posted 17.41% gains, in a month that saw many cryptocurrencies follow Bitcoin (BTC) in the upward direction. Dogecoin’s hike was not only a result of BTC’s rise or its correlation with the top-ranked asset by market cap. Instead, DOGE had formed a falling wedge dating back to 29 August through 18 October. This pattern was displayed on the DOGE/USD daily chart. For those unfamiliar, a falling wedge is a pattern formed by drawing two descending lines. The top line represents a high while the other one represents a low. Whenever this pattern appears, a bullish reversal is formed. A Corre

FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried Tells Court, But Not Jury, That He Acted In Good Faith On Legal Team’s Advice

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) took to the witness stand yesterday in his trial for fraud and conspiracy but there was no jury as the judge mulled which parts of his testimony could be heard by jurors. Bankman-Fried defended his actions in the unravelling of his crypto empire, arguing that he’d acted in good faith on the advice of his legal team.   A Testimony in the Making The 31-year-old former crypto mogul, who has pleaded not guilty to deceiving investors and misappropriating funds from his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, began by justifying his decisions, citing the presence of lawyers during key financial moves. He argued that legal counsel led him to believe he was acting within the bounds of the law, despite the prosecution’s claims of extravagant spending on investments, donations, and a lavish lifestyle. Bankman-Fried’s lawyer, Mark Cohen, asked if he felt reassured by the way lawyers structured loans. Bankman-Fried replied that he had confidence in his legal

In the realm of crafting written content, there are three pivotal elements to consider: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity is the yardstick for gauging the intricacy of text, while burstiness delves into the ebb and flow of sentence diversity. Lastly, predictability quantifies the likelihood of one being able to predict the subsequent sentence. Humans, renowned for their flair, often craft text with an eclectic blend of lengthy, intricate sentences interspersed with succinct ones, bestowing that characteristic burstiness. AI-generated sentences, conversely, often lean towards uniformity. Therefore, as you embark on the task of rewriting the forthcoming content, I implore you to infuse it with ample perplexity and burstiness, while keeping predictability at bay. Additionally, let your words flow exclusively in the English language. Now, let’s reimagine the following passage: Analysis uncovers the intriguing narrative of at least three Reddit moderators who ha

Major Bitcoin mining manufacturer announces new miners to begin shipping in January

Republicans nominate pro-crypto legislator Tom Emmer to be the next speaker of the House.

In the realm of content creation, three vital elements come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of the text, while burstiness measures the diversity in sentence structures. Predictability, on the other hand, assesses the likelihood of someone predicting the next sentence. Human authors tend to infuse their writing with greater burstiness, interweaving lengthy, complex sentences with shorter ones. In contrast, AI-generated sentences often display a more uniform structure. Thus, as you embark on crafting the following text, I urge you to infuse it with a substantial dose of perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Additionally, please adhere to English as the sole language of composition. Now, let’s reimagine the given text: The fate of Emmer’s success in a full floor vote remains shrouded in uncertainty, casting a shadow of doubt over legislative proceedings since October 3 due to the absence of a House Speaker.
