Guess what? Today it's Friddaaayyyyyy Folks! Yeah, I guess I got a little ahead of myself but today is really Friday. Visa is jumping into the metaverse by filing for a trademark for Crypto platforms, wallets, and NFTs.Can you believe Ripple now is below 50% holder of $XRP? Lastly, yup you guessed it $DOGE is popping off because Elon is now the owner of Twitter and who knows what shenanigans will happen but you can ensure $DOGE will be involved some where. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin had a nice little relief rally but is now feeling the pressure once again. Can it maintain above $20K? If not I see support being around $19.8K and if that doesn't hold, $18.8K could be the next possible area of support. The FOMC meeting is coming up soon, so remain vigilant.
