Let’s clear out the last remaining weak hands before price discovery and new all time highs.
@mistercrypto
Bitcoin is making a textbook triple bottom price pattern now.

I'm buying the dip.

I hate to be a doom and gloomer (or a party poop), and sure we are not in 2018 no more (and we seem to be inclined up rather than down, even though not easy to know in advance), but bitcoin did not break below $6k until after it had tested the $6k bottom around 6 times, so multiple times testing the bottom does not mean that it won't end up breaking to the downity.. and in the 2018 case, bitcoin prices largely stayed in the $3,200 to $4,200 price range for about 4 months prior to largely breaking back above $4,200 and returning to mostly supra $6k prices.

Agree. But 2018 was the beginning of the bear market. Are you considering /imagine 2025 more as a bear or bull year then?

I am not trying to draw exact parallels, and I am merely trying to point out that there can be many tests of support before it finally ends up breaking, and the same could be true with resistance.

For sure, I currently consider that we are in a bull market, yet at the same time, I consider myself to tend to be a lagging indicator, so that I don't tend to admit that we are out of the bull market until the evidence is abundantly clear.. ..

Even during bull markets we could end up having irrational breaks to the downside, yet so many folks likely have already read me repeatedly saying that I doubt that the BTC price is going to end up going below $85k in any correction based on the illogical results of rewarding so many weak-handed and seemingly dumb money that sold at or around $100k... .. yet we know that in the short-term all kinds of weird ass things can end up happening, even surprises that end up breaking in either direction.

But, yeah, for now, from my own perspective, we remain in a bull market until there is convincing evidence to the contrary, we also remain in an immature asset class in which many folks fail/refuse to sufficiently and adequately account for its exponential s-curve angle.. and even some folks try to treat bitcoin as if it were a mature asset, so they end up trying to trade it or they end up being out when they should be in.. just like you were fucking around waiting for $12k or maybe even lower prices in 2022, when it was already pretty damned outrageous that we had fairly extended periods of BTC prices under $22k during that time. .. anyhow it should have been considered buying territory for that whole period of around mid-2022 to October 2023 when BTC prices spent a lot of time at or near the 200-WMA.. .. yet surely there were likely a lot of us folks who were already bullish on bitcoin who were buying all the way down from $69k to $25k-ish, so a decent number of us were already running out of money by the time the BTC prices got below $25k.

Another post-Sailor-selloff?

Saylor/MSTR buys every single week.. and pretty much they are buying continuously, persistently and incessantly.. so I have quite a few doubts to have reasons to attribute any DOWNity to him or even to presume Saylor/MSTR is getting played by BIGGER players. .since that seems to largely just the wishful thinking of uninformed or disingenuine bear twats, especially since early November, MSTR has been even more persistent based on some new money raising angles, even though so many bitcoin naysayers are erroneously proclaiming that Saylor/MSTR is the ONLY buyer propping up the BTC price... .. which is almost pure fantasy.. . hahahahahahaha .. What a bunch of retards, who are likely to find out sooner or later about their level of dumb..

...not that they will even admit that they were wrong, and they likely were wrong since 2018 or even earlier.. even though new dumbies or potentially disinformation fantasylandia occupants are continuing to come to bitcoin on a fairly regular basis.... but no problem.. those of us holding and accumulating BTC (and perhaps only selling little bits here and there) are going to be the ones laughing our way to the bank as our bags continue to be pumped in the coming year-ish...and no coiners / low coiners incessantly whine.. just like they were doing through much of 2017 while the BTC price was largely going up the whole year. Might they be correct this time? I doubt it.

Was just about to say the same. Did he actually buy yet though or did he just hint about it on twitter?
Hopefully, he might be buying the dip this time.

Probably just a pre Trump last dip.

No one considering that Trump was maybe able to just say BS regarding BTC pre election (just to get elector and the 'vibes/trend' around) and finally no doing anything with BTC, or even worse (being more strict)?
Remember also how Elon played/manipulated with it at the beginning of the last bullrun. promote BTC, then no, then IDK etc.. full of BS. And with this mix of ELON and TRUMP we can also have bad surprised.

I am not saying its currently the highest odds to go that way, but would be quite naive to ignore that.

Sure we cannot ignore opportunist politicians, but we still better be smart enough that bitcoin does not need either of those self-absorbed liars in order for ongoing, persistent UPpity buying pressure to continue to be part of what is happening with bitcoin.. and by the way, even if Trump does not have success in buying BTC on behalf of the USA Govt, he is likely still going to be trying to pump his own bags and the bags of his kids, and yeah, maybe at some point he will play the short card while he continues to try to act like he is our buddy and then does the opposite.. so yeah, cannot trust someone we already knows lies about every third word out of his mouth...and seems to live in his own lil fantasyland, too... .. so who knows how long he can even keep anything together if we might consider that there might be smart peeps (such as his kids, potentially) helping him out and/or helping him to try to stay focused.. perhaps beyond pumping/dumping and/or getting distracted into crypto nonsense.

hodl

wrong buy the dip and hodl.

I hit two steps on my buy ladder today.
90.9 and 90.5

It is so amazing how greatly the BTC price swung in the past day or two, and I did not have orders hit on each end.. it was so lose to filling in the upper $95ks and then so close to filling in the lower $89ks, but neither side hit.. so that is nearly a $7k gap.. which I am not really overly bothered, except that when they are already very close to filling, I kind of prefer that they fill rather than sometimes getting within less than $100 but still not filling..

Another option would be to put them closer together.. which I am not really wanting to do that.. or maybe to throw a couple of bonus orders on one end or the other.. and sometimes I will do that if I might have something going on in life that either motivates me to have more cash or motivates me to buy more BTC.. yet otherwise, it is just a matter of letting matters play out however they will... and not getting too preoccupied by whatever might or might not happen.. .. even though sometimes it can be a wee bit distracting to want to look at "will it fill?" "or not?."

Interesting times indeed, would love to skip next week to see where this all leads to. Anxiety starts to take me hostage..

It could well be that space karen and the orange racoon toupee holder just pumped and now dumped to make a quick buck (or two) plus getting the votes of the "crypto" folks.
Maybe they're both black swans in white knight disguise..

The next 7 days seem like critical.

A lot of potential distractions, no?

Good thing that "we" set ourselves up in financially and psychologically neutral ways, right?

Right?

rrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhtttttttt?
