All that glitters is not
gold. Bitcoin is sparkling again but beware\u2026breakdowns coming up round the
bend.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin jumped above $11,000, taking it to its highest level since March 2018 , before it pared some of those gains.<\/p>\n
Investors are ignoring what happened the last time we saw the market going parabolic. Is it different this time? No, but people have short memories. The buzz is well and truly back.<\/p>\n
Facebooks Libra white paper may have stoked renewed interest in cryptos at a time when the buzz had already returned. Whether or note Libra is a real crypto, or just an asset-backed ETF, there is no doubt that it is generating interest in the broader space.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin is certainly more mature \u2013 there are regulated futures contracts now \u2013 but the fundamentals of the scheme remain unaltered. Valuations are impossible to discern and the price is simply based on what the next person will give you. What I would say is that arguably big money is starting to view this differently and think it could be very costly to ignore if they get left behind.<\/p>\n
It may also be that the sharp liquidity boost weve seen from central banks is helping bitcoin as it has helped the likes of gold, bonds and stocks in the last few days.<\/p>\n
