Bitcoin is up over 12% on the week with BTC/USD value motion seeing an inflow of demand thanks to a different strong protection of the psychological $30,000-level.

The Robinhood IPO right now was quite disappointing as $HOOD closed practically -9% beneath its opening value of $38.00/share. When interested by what an preliminary public providing is at its core, one might simply argue how it’s an exit technique for personal corporations to money out of (i.e. promote) their enterprise that’s maturing. On that notice, there have been many cases all through historical past the place an organization’s IPO coincides with the height of its respective trade.

For instance, the Coinbase IPO aligned with the highest in Bitcoin earlier this yr. So too did the Glencore IPO with the highest in industrial metals again in 2011 as did the Blackstone Group IPO with the highest in main inventory indices again in 2007. Bringing focus again to the Robinhood IPO, the case will be made that retail buying and selling exercise – and Robinhood’s enterprise – is perhaps reaching peak progress.

Even when this situation is mistaken and Robinhood pushes above its IPO value, I nonetheless suppose the chances are extra seemingly that $HOOD lags $COIN.
