    This is one of the reason why - Asia need to diversify and do less trading using US dollars. See. even many part of asia is not involve on the US economic antics - still asian market did experience on this nonesense coming from the west!

    Thanks for the informative video😍👏.....I think BTC and ETH are more likely to retest resistance to the upside and then head lower. But as always, the situation changes every day and all we can do is trade responsibly, monitor the markets and reassess our strategies frequently. I want to thank you, Brooklyn Werner for giving me crypto education because I have comfortably earned 6.7 BTC.....

    The reporter make a great misstake. It's not the lunar new year holiday, it is Chinese lunar new year holiday! Because there is many different lunar new year because of many different lunar calendar. Be accurate and professional!
