The bullishness of the markets had stopped, and the green of the recent weeks had turned red. However, despite the correction, the trading volume continues to rise in the longer term.

Even though Bitcoin Cash SV (BSV) got delisted from several exchanges, including Binance, it seems that the pump continues and BSV’s price doesn’t stop its surge. This may be because of the ability to manipulate trading on smaller exchanges. On Bittrex, for instance, we’ve seen altcoins rising massively in terms of price. This had turned out to be a positive trend, especially at a time when most of the trading is conducted and affected by one exchange – Binance.
Bitcoin network fees have risen significantly, which makes it questionable whether it’s close to solving its scalability problems. After the rally in 2017 and after a year and a half of bear market, there was an expectation for finding solutions before the next wave, and now it seems that the most recognizable answer – the Lightning Network, is still in its infancy.
