Altcoins have been bigger winners than bitcoin in the recent recovery. Even though the latter led the recovery, the smaller cap coins have been making all of the waves in the space, outperforming other indexes and bitcoin included. All of this has pointed to an altcoin season after a purported ‘crypto winter’ and the gains recorded so far in February are additional proof of this. Small Cap Index Takes The Lead The whole of the crypto market had suffered from the downtrend that began in December. However, the second week of February had come to some reprieve with double-digit gains across bitcoin and all of the indexes. The small, mid, and large cap indexes have all returned gains so far, but the small cap has taken the leading, showing increased bullish momentum in the smaller cap altcoins.

This is a huge step-up for the index after it closed out January as the worst-performing index, seeing accelerated losses compared to its counterparts. The tables have now turned as the gains for the small cap index have been 4% higher than all of the others. Small cap index returns highest gains | Source: Arcane Research Bitcoin, the mid cap, and the large cap index all returned doubled-digit gains for January. Most of the gains recorded were from a single week that saw prices surge across the crypto market. What About Bitcoin? Bitcoin has no doubt also returned impressive gains for its investors in the same time period. It may not be as high as the small cap index but still remains one of the top gainers n the space. It follows the move of the market sentiment from extreme negativity back into the positive. Momentum picking up has also helped in this case.

The Digital asset is now trading above its 20-day moving average but remains low on the 50-day average. At its current point, the next resistance for the asset to break lies at $45,240. However, a break above a second resistance point at $46,712 is what will really solidify its entrance into another bear rally. Until then, it will likely continue to hover between $43,000 and $44,000. BTC starts another recovery trend | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com On the support side, bitcoin’s break below $43,000 will see its next support at $42,790. Not a far-off point, but if it does not hold then another decline to $40,000 may be imminent. Nevertheless, the digital asset has shown strong sell signals around the 50 and 100-day moving averages. Unless buyers make significant headway in holding up the price of bitcoin, bears are more likely to take over, pulling bitcoin into another stretched-out downtrend.

NFT Carnival (www.nftcarnival.io), the first digital gallery event series for non-fungible tokens (NFT), and Culture Pulse (www.culturepulse.co/), the first NFT marketplace bridging the world of physical collections with their digital counterparts, are partnering to co-host a next-generation Super Bowl party on Saturday, February 12 from 2-6 pm PST. The three-part event will take place at Prince's former estate and will bring together leading NFT creators and collectors, athletes, investors and media for the Super Bowl of NFT Excellence, Culture Pulse exclusive launch, and Satoshi Salon LA.

In March 2021, nearly one year ago, Beeple sold an NFT for $69 million and NFTs have not slowed down since. The expansion of NFT utility is emerging into industries from music to memorabilia, including physical backed digital assets, allowing for the authentication of a physical item of value with tokenization of an NFT (e.g. a pair of shoes or a fine watch on physical display with an NFT that proves ownership and authenticity of the collectible). 

The Super Bowl of NFT Excellence event will kick off with the Culture Pulse Launch featuring a “Phigital” Gallery, displaying ultra-rare physical collectibles with their digital NFT counterparts created by prominent athletes and artists. Adjacent to the Culture Pulse artist gallery will be the NFT Carnival space, a second gallery for up-and-coming cryptocurrency and blockchain community NFT displays. 

Confirmed Culture Pulse creators for the event include Andy Warhol, Madoko Tagagi, Barbara Kruger, Chase Langford, John 5, Jerrod Maruyama, Lawyer Milloy, Gary Payton, Ed Ruscha, Shag, Bobby Wagner, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelers, Scott Page, Mo Bamba, Paolo Banchero & more.

During the event, guests will enjoy various musical performances by Scott Page from Pink Floyd and popular performer, Gashi. Along the grounds, guests will be able to access the exclusive NFT galleries and have the opportunity to meet the artists and athletes, as well as bid on high demand Super Bowl 2022 tickets. Drinks and heavy appetizers will be served.

Following the Super Bowl of NFT Excellence gallery will be the debut of Satoshi Salon in LA from 5:30-7 pm PST. Satoshi Salon is a private event club where leaders, innovators, and investors in blockchain, fintech, and emerging technology are invited to enjoy dinner, drinks, investment opportunities and thought-leader discussion to drive the industry forward. Early-stage blockchain startups are invited to present. Learn more at www.satoshi.salon.
