It's Saturday Folks! Coming off a crazy week before this week was a bit more tame and lame. Still reeling from the FTX debacle but there was a variety of other things happening that you shouldn't miss. Bitcoin started the week trading around $17.7K and now it's about $16.6K heading south; I continue to believe $20K before $10K. Let's recap the week, shall we?
Monday the price of Bitcoin closed at $17,206.44 and the sentiment was leaning hopeful before the FOMC meeting; some hints of bearishness due to the first yearly "bearish engulfing candle." The most covered news of the day was finding out Do Kwon is hiding in Serbia.

The most covered news of the day was SBF being arrested in the Bahamas and the coverage of the Fed raising interest rates another 50 basis points.

Bottom line folks Bitcoin is not out of the woods yet but things are looking better. The spread and knock on effect of the FTX saga, has me wondering whose pockets FTX wasn't in. At the end of the day, this too shall pass and once it does, what will be the narrative then? How many will say... "I wished I_______?" Only you know what is best for you and your finance, read, watch, and listen with me and that should give you some idea. I had a great show on Thursday, revealing the top 5 Bitcoin Mayors so take a watch!
