Join Cointelegraph host and analyst Benton Yaun alongside resident market experts Jordan Finneseth and Marcel Pechman as they break down the latest news in the markets this week on “The Market Report.” Here’s what to expect in this week’s markets news breakdown:

• Bitcoin

  $20,753

   may continue to consolidate until Q1 of 2022. With $2.5 billion liquidated in the cryptocurrency market this week, should investors still be optimistic about the current cycle?
• Bitcoin dipped just below $50,000 as Evergrande defaulted. The Chinese property development giant may have caused Bitcoin’s most recent price drop. Will this price point serve as firm support?
• $1.1 billion in Bitcoin options expire on Friday, and things are not looking good for the bulls. Find out what the numbers tell us before this month’s expiry.

After the market news update, the hosts chat with special guest Ran Neuner, co-founder and CEO of Onchain Capital and founder of “Crypto Banter,” about how investors should approach big corrections, which altcoins and gaming tokens to look out for, and whether the current market is one big buying opportunity.

Using insights from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, a platform for crypto traders who want to stay one step ahead of the market, the Cointelegraph experts identify two altcoins that stood out this week: 1INCH and Tezos’ native

Finally, Cointelegraph market analyst Finneseth discusses why the typical four-year market cycle may be lengthening. Are we currently witnessing it? With institutions showing more and more interest in cryptocurrency beyond Bitcoin — such as nonfungible tokens (NFTs), gaming tokens and the Metaverse — will it be another year before a true bear market?
