Shortly after the sell-off began, Coinbase's website and all other services were temporarily unavailable.

An ongoing investigation seeks to identify the root cause, but the company reassured users that their funds are secure.

This outage has sparked concerns about Coinbase's scalability, especially given a similar incident during the last bull run.

TWITTER SENTIMENT
The Return Of RoaringKitty 🙀 

Roaring Kitty, one of the most renowned stock and crypto traders, has returned to social media after a three-year break.

Roaring Kitty gained legendary status among degen traders, notably for initiating the GameStop rally in 2021, during which he turned $50k into $48m. The rally caused substantial gains for many degens and significant losses for investment funds that had shorted the GameStop stock, amounting to billions.

Following the massive pump of Gamestop, attention shifted towards crypto memes, particularly Dogecoin, which also experienced significant pumps during the last bull cycle.

With the recent return of Roaring Kitty, the market began speculating, and both Gamestop and meme coins such as PEPE, NPC, and MOG quickly surged.

In one of Roaring Kitty’s tweets, he suggests that this year won’t be dominated by dog-themed cryptocurrencies, leaving many to speculate whether cat memes will emerge as the true winners of this bull cycle. 🐈️

While some view the resurgence of Roaring Kitty as a bullish signal, other analysts, like CredibleCrypto, remain skeptical, doubting that this development alone will reignite the meme coin frenzy.

YOUTUBE INFLUENCER SUMMARY 📷️ 

Lark Davis - China Just Flipped Bitcoin (14.05.2024 Summary)

Lark believes the crypto market is headed for a bullish upswing, mainly because China and other major economies are printing a lot of new money.

• He points out that China is planning to issue over $139 billion in new debt, essentially creating new money. Lark sees this as China "turning on the money printer."
  

• The U.S. is also increasing liquidity by having the Federal Reserve buy up debt from the Treasury. Lark says this is just "printing more money."
  

• When all this new money enters the markets, Lark expects asset prices, including cryptocurrencies, to go up. He states: "When money floods in, asset prices go up, fueling a bull market."

However, Lark acknowledges that eventually, central banks will have to reduce this excess liquidity, leading to a market downturn. But for now, he advises paying attention to the increasing money supply, which should drive crypto and other assets higher in the near term.

In summary, Lark believes the massive money printing by China, the U.S. and others is setting the stage for a cryptocurrency bull run until that liquidity is eventually pulled back.

Benjamin Cowen - Ethereum Falls Below Its Bull Market Support Band (14.05.2024 Summary)

Benjamin thinks Ethereum's price could fall further after recently dropping below an important support level called the "bull market support band."

He looks at past cycles like 2019 and 2016 when a similar breach of this support level occurred. In those years, Ethereum ended up declining around 70% from its highs after first breaking down versus Bitcoin.

• Even after falling below the bull support band, Benjamin notes Ethereum kept dropping another 50% in those previous cycles before finally bottoming out.
  

• For the current situation, Benjamin believes Ethereum's price could bleed out until around September 2024. He has a price target of around $1,400 for Ethereum, which would represent a 50% drop from current prices.
  

• Benjamin doesn't expect major rallies to new highs. He thinks Ethereum will likely keep underperforming Bitcoin until the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates again, which he speculates could happen as soon as this summer.

His bearish view is based on monetary policy, not any issues with Ethereum itself. But he feels tighter monetary conditions will continue weighing on Ethereum versus Bitcoin until the Fed pivots to easier policy again.

MEME COIN OF THE DAY

GME 💵 

GME is a Solana-based meme token inspired by the legendary GameStop stock saga. When the iconic "Roaring Kitty" resurfaced, GME skyrocketed to become the hottest crypto on the Solana blockchain, outperforming every other coin in a true ape-fueled rally. 🐒 

⚠️ While meme coins have been among the top performers this year, they are highly speculative and volatile. These assets carry extreme risk, with the potential to lose their entire value overnight. This section is intended for entertainment purposes only.
