Dogecoin's averages crossed bullish early today. While the golden cross is seen as a positive indicator, it has a mixed record of predicting trends in most markets, including equities, bitcoin and DOGE. That makes it unreliable as a standalone indicator.

That said, most of DOGE's previous big moves unfolded with the appearance of the golden cross. For instance, prices surged over 130% to 46 cents in four weeks following the occurrence of the golden cross on Nov. 6, 2024. Prices surged 25% in four weeks after the averages crossed bullish on Nov. 22, 2023.

Similarly, a golden cross happened in early November 2020, marking the onset of a major four-month bull run that saw prices rally over 1,000% in four months.

Crypto custodian BitGo a potential acquisition target for Wall Street firms, analysts say

Compass Point and Canaccord call BitGo a potential acquisition target and defend the stock despite its weak debut, citing growth in institutional crypto infrastructure.

Ce qu'il:

  • Wall Street analysts say BitGo’s expansion into full-service institutional crypto finance could drive long-term growth and make it an attractive acquisition target for traditional financial firms.
  • Analysts argue that investors are overlooking BitGo’s potential to cross-sell prime brokerage-style services, which could significantly boost revenue if it can narrow the gap with rivals like Galaxy and Coinbase.
  • Despite BitGo’s stock falling more than 40% since its January IPO, some analysts view the selloff as an overreaction and maintain buy ratings, citing the company’s solid competitive moat and strategic value to big banks entering crypto.
