Bitcoin
Bitcoin continues to move in a narrow range. The sideways trend will continue until new fundamental events occur that will put pressure on the rate. In the event of negative news, such as a massive spread of monkeypox, financial markets, including the cryptocurrency market, will continue to decline. The crypto market needs positive news to return to growth. One of such factors may be the resolution of the situation with the Terra project.

Bitcoin
The global picture remains uncertain. The asset has already formed eight red weekly candles in a row (a historical record). It is likely that it will be the ninth red candle by the end of this week. Usually, a bounce follows in such situations, as bitcoin is in the extremely oversold zone and there is maximum fear in the market.
The current situation is complicated by uncertainty in the financial markets, a decline in stock indices amid tightening US monetary policy, and the high correlation of the crypto market with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.

⚠️IMF called unbacked stablecoins a pyramid scheme
💭International Monetary Fund (IMF) Executive Director Kristalina Georgieva said that stablecoins that are not backed by assets are a pyramid scheme. She said this in the wake of the recent collapse of the Terra (LUNA) ecosystem. Georgieva explained that a stablecoin can be called stable if it is backed with assets at a ratio of 1:1. And if “it is not backed with assets, but it is promised to deliver 20% return, it’s a pyramid.” Georgieva noted that such schemes collapse over time. She said this during a discussion at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
