The last episode of Market Discussions welcomes Nicholas Merten, the founder of DataDash, one of the biggest cryptocurrency YouTube channels.
Merten is an international speaker, thought leader and crypto analyst. He has used his 10+ years of experience in traditional markets to understand the potential of cryptocurrencies and help his 515,000 YouTube subscribers make better investment decisions.
One of the topics of discussion with Merten is the recent Bitcoin (BTC) price increase. Have the markets finally broken out of the sideways trend they’ve been stuck in for months, or is this just another bullish trap forming, with BTC falling back below $20,000?
With all seasoned traders and experts watching the BTC 200-week moving average, Merten is asked what this indicator means and why many consider it so important. They also enter where he sees BTC heading in the near future, towards $30,000 or back down to $17,000?
Another topic of discussion is if retail investors start to rush into the market – could this play a role in driving up prices? Ether (ETH) has had an outstanding performance recently, with more updates on its move from a proof-of-work protocol to a proof-of-stake. Could Ether be the one dominating the markets this time around, as opposed to Bitcoin? Hosts will look at the ETH chart to get a better picture.
With the rising price of Bitcoin, altcoins are never far behind. Jebb and Merten will take a look at some of the best performing altcoins and determine which ones have yet to break out. Speaking of altcoins, Polygon’s MATIC saw a recent price spike after learning that it had been accepted into Disney’s accelerator program – the only blockchain platform to do so. They will discuss what this could mean for the platform and also take a look at the chart.
