$24K Bitcoin — Is It Time to Buy BTC and Altcoins? Watch Market Talks live
In this week’s episode of Market Talks, Cointelegraph welcomes Michaël van de Poppe, a full-time cryptocurrency day/swing trader based at the Amsterdam Stock Exchange who is interested in all things related to blockchain in combination with the current financial system. He is also the CEO and founder of Eight Global, a cryptocurrency education and consulting platform.
We kick things off by getting van de Poppe’s take on the current market and how he feels about things at the moment.
In general, everyone’s view of external macro factors affecting crypto prices is largely US-centric. Since van de Poppe is based in Amsterdam, we find out what other macro and geopolitical factors he regularly considers when assessing the markets.
Following the news of the US Securities and Exchange Commission cracking down on stablecoins and exchanges, and also the not-so-hot Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, Bitcoin (BTC) made a move that was the opposite of what many market participants had expected. Van de Poppe shares his thoughts and reasoning for this.
We get into the nitty-gritty of van de Poppe’s approach to investing in altcoins and how the two major cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ether (ETH), influence his decisions, if at all.
The Ethereum Shanghai upgrade is on everyone’s mind and everyone has their own thesis on what will happen once the upgrade is complete. We ask van de Poppe what his bets on Ether are over the next six months and how he plans to trade the upgrade.
A major topic that seems to be generating a lot of debate in the crypto space is whether the current bullish price action has limited durability or whether it is here to stay and will continue. We get the professional’s view on the matter and also how he thinks 2023 will be for the global markets and US stock markets.
