Ethereum just busted out a golden cross on its 3-day chart-basically, the 50-period moving average waltzed past the 200-period one like it owned the place. 💃 Analysts are interpreting this as a bullish mic drop, though let’s be real, these patterns are about as reliable as a weather forecast in April. 🌧️
Meanwhile, the plucky little firm that’s all about insuring your Bitcoin, has just pulled off a corker of a funding round, raking in $82 million. 🧐 Yes, you heard that right-eighty-two million smackers! The chaps are exclusively focused on insurance products denominated in Bitcoin, which is about as trendy as spats at a society ball.

His policy was a ray of sunshine… at least for Bitcoin, until it wasn’t. It seems that the very thing that helped Bitcoin shine is now turning the spotlight off, thanks to a most inconvenient rise in bond yields.

As if predestined, alternative cryptocurrencies often waltz in infantile tandem with Bitcoin, only to marvel, with a small degree of jealousy, at the magnitude of the elder’s price swings.

So, what’s behind this sudden glow-up? Let’s spill the syrup. 🍁
