Numbers: Over 800 flights were canceled just on Sunday - which is about a third of its normal daily flights.

Catalyst: American Airlines attributed the cancelations, as well as other delays, to weather issues such as severe winds in Texas. There was also a staffing shortage.

Bitcoin Faces a “Supply Shock” Due to Little Profit Taking

As the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high in October, a recent report from Kraken Intelligence sheds light on what’s behind the surge.

Details: The data from the report points to a potential supply shock where long-term holders are not taking profits. The number of bitcoins that haven’t moved in the past 6 months has already reached a 3-year low, according to the report.

Big Picture: Basically, the report finds a lot of strength among long-term holders and mining pools. This includes individual miners who have realized modest profits.

Numbers: The price of Bitcoin skyrocketed over 35% in October.

Final Thoughts: Despite these trends, the report concludes that there is a considerably healthy macro environment for Bitcoin.
