? Walmart Adding Digital Inventory
Walmart, one of the worldās largest retailers, seems to be taking steps in preparation for the inevitable transition to digital dominance.
Walmart has revealed its intentions to take on the metaverse market by potentially creating its own cryptocurrency and NFT collection.
The retail giant filed trademarks in December indicating the intention to produce and sell virtual items.Ā
In addition to the production of digital inventory, Walmart also made known its plans to create and offer a virtual currency as well as non-fungible tokens.Ā
Many traders and investors are concerned with the momentum and timing of market cycles, and rightly so. However, in this cycle we have several factors we havenāt seen before:
Institutional investment is at an all-time high.Ā
Commercial and government interest is at an all-time high.
Retail investment is at an all-time high.Ā
When governments and companies across the world consistently prepare for the possibility of crypto dominating the future of currency, it should help bolster our resolve in the face of unfavourable volatility.Ā
Our Market Meditations are longer format educational segments. Each letter features a Market Meditation which will deep dive and analyse a relevant crypto event, theme or tool.Ā
? A Journey of A Thousand SOLsĀ
SOL/USD
Fighting to keep support at $140.Ā
Trend has really reversed.Ā No longer neutral.Ā
Crossover of Moving Averages and steady downward trajectory.
Key level to reclaim is $170 but canāt shift our bias to bullish until $190 is claimed.
High risk, high reward play if you are convinced the support will hold.
Otherwise (and particularly if you consider the macro bitcoin picture) doesnāt seem like the best play at the moment.Ā
BTC/USD
Entered the neutral zone.
$30k is the doomsday level.
On the way down, we do have a key support at the $36k level.
Until we are in the neutral bullish zone, altcoins are more risky.
At any moment we could for example lose the $40k level then crash to $36k.
In this scenario, altcoins will follow in a much more exaggerated move.Ā
ADA/USD
Will look for the 7 Day Moving Average breaking above $1.5 for a breakout play.
Potential further upside thereafter to $1.8.
