IG shuts down all the platforms every Friday evening (UK time) for platform updates and maintenance and opens again Saturday morning for crypto.

you really need a price line each for bid and ask on crypto charts;

always a bit of  a shock seeing minus 36 points on entry 😳

Some really juicy action going on with Bitcoin this weekend

Maybe to do with the halving?

82% of IG clients long Bitcoin, bound to be a lot of 'long squeezing' before the price inevitably shoots up again

BTC has gone very illiquid approaching the halving event (the 210,000 block expected to be layed down tomorrow). So price may well fly about for a while before settling down.

Do you actually know this news was fake? Like honestly, it was. It actually went down, but it didn't half it. Do you remember the free crypto signals page (from cryptoinformator) when they also predicted it at that time? In fact, that's even why I use them for these signals. It's been long tho honestly. It's even about a year when this was said, and your post is exactly one year now; wow. Now you see people buying and investing in mostly Ethereum and dogecoin, which I also invest in both of them. one thing about them is that they cant give you headaches like bitcoin, lol. they don't fluctuate rapidly said this

A cryptocurrency exchange is a platform where one digital currency is traded and exchanged for another or for different world currencies, including dollars, euros, rubles and yuan. In addition to mining, the original way to create cryptocurrencies, exchanges are considered one of the ways to get them.

Cryptocurrency exchanges is a kind of analogue of trading ones, such as, for example, Forex. Each participant, investing real money, has the right to perform operations related to the analysis of rates, receive signals, engage in the sale and exchange of bitcoins and other popular types of currencies for real money.

Analyzing the activity of a cryptocurrency exchange, two areas can be distinguished - trading and exchange. For example, you want to get crypto money at a favorable rate, and exchanges are just perfect for this. There are users who even store their “hard money” on such resources, using them as a kind of wallet. However, seasoned experts do not advise doing this, since exchanges, although rarely, go to scam. The most important function of the exchange is the sale of currency pairs, which brings enormous income to traders.

There is no one way upward journey in markets and one must keep in mind that intermittent corrections happens all the time. Reaching all time high happens very quick but the corrections takes too long.
