Bitcoin Price Chart (7D)

Yesterday we saw the biggest sell-off of Bitcoin we have seen in weeks, from $63,000 to just above $61,00, pushing the Fear and Greed index down to 53 (Neutral).

Should you Buy or Sell?

For contrarian investors, this is the time to be looking to buy into the market. While the market is scared and selling, it's an opportunity to buy in at discount prices.

While much of the market was anticipating a massive increase in the value of Bitcoin after the Bitcoin halving event, what we have learned from prior Bitcoin halving events is the reduction in the flow of Bitcoin into the market takes weeks and even months to be fully reflected in Bitcoin's market price.

We are not expecting to see a full recovery in the price of Bitcoin until early June with new all-time highs anticipated for the last quarter of the year. While it's impossible to predict the future, when America's largest Banks are Fomo'ing into Bitcoin, it's generally a good sign.

Wells Fargo, FOMOing into BTC ETFs

Then there is Michael Saylor's Micro Strategy which has acquired more than 1% of the total supply of Bitcoin, further restricting the circulating supply.

It was also revealed in a recent SEC filing, that 186 wealth managers now own Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

So even though the market is down, many factors are positioning Bitcoin as bullish.

Upcoming Political Elections

Next on the horizon are the upcoming political elections which will likely have the next largest impact on the price of Bitcoin, specifically when it comes to regulations and policies around crypto use and taxation.

Already we are seeing crypto regulations become topics of discussion with Trump recently remarking he is now "fine with crypto". Meanwhile, Biden vetoed a bill that would allow financial firms to have custody of Bitcoin.

Meme Coins are Trending in 2024 | AltcoinInvestor.com

Meme Coins

We love to hate and hate to love meme coins. These projects are frowned upon by most serious investors because they don't have any intrinsic value however, meme coins are responsible for more crypto millionaires than any other sector in the crypto market.

Top Performing Meme Coins

Meme coins have continued to perform well in the down market over the last few weeks. The biggest gainer in the last 30 days has been .....Mistery (MERY) +4,214% (30d).

What is the Next 100x Meme Coin?

With the upcoming political elections starting to gain public attention, we may see political memes again perform well in the run-up to the elections. The two most popular political meme coins so far have been Jeo Boden and Doland Tremp.

It's highly likely given all the public attention and focus for the upcoming elections, the next 100x meme coin will be political. The funny thing about this industry is that it's likely that the "next 100x meme coin" hasn't' even been minted yet.

The announcement of the Altcoin Pick for May has been delayed until we see more favorable market conditions.

Bitcoin has dropped more than 15% in the last 30 days and significantly more for the Altcoins. Although we do see early signs of a market recovery, we will continue to watch the markets to determine the best buy-in price.

We are optimistic we will see a trend reversal over the next few days and if this holds we will release the Altcoin Pick for May to our members at that time.
