Crypto Briefing 2/18/22

Due to geopolitical concerns about a war with Russia, Bitcoin has tumbled to $40,000. Over the weekend and into early next week, we expect BTC to form a higher low and resume its rise to $52,000. During this time, there is potential for an altcoin rally that can deliver significant returns. Even though it seems unlikely given the current market conditions, large moves in altcoins are extremely short winded and last between 30 to 40 days. As a consequence, it is important to formulate your own exit strategy and sell targets.

If Bitcoin does not rise to our target level, then there will be a more prolonged decline in crypto in conjunction with the stock market. This would push back an altcoin run into the second half of 2022. The danger period for the majority of assets will be seen towards the end of March and early April.

Over the past week, Casper (CSPR) has seen a number of major developments. Yesterday, Casper was listed on Bitrue, one of crypto’s most prominent exchanges. In addition to the significant exposure this will create for CSPR, by offering staking opportunities to holders for an annual rate of 8% APY, more volume will build on Casper’s price chart and help propel the altcoin higher. In the future, we expect Casper to be listed on exchanges such as Kucoin, Binance, and Coinbase. Currently, Casper is trading at $0.08 with its all-time low being $0.06. Despite our concerns regarding volatility, we believe that there is minimal downside risk for Casper. When you compare Casper to other networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, Casper’s only disadvantage is how new it is. With that being said, Casper has attracted a number of private equity firms to invest in the project, and the development team has even formed a partnership with IBM. Over time, we expect more enterprises to leverage Casper due to its superior technology and user experience. This coin is our #2 highest conviction altcoin behind Ripple (XRP).
