Small pump today. Bulltrap? How about a shill article for posterity's sake.

Baruch attributed Bitcoin’s soaring value in December to the launch of Bitcoin futures contracts on CME and CBOE, with “tremendous speculation and the fear of missing out” causing prices in the cryptocurrency sector to “sky-rocket too quickly.” The subsequent sell-out has now “wiped out most, if not all, of the over-enthusiasm,” he suggested, saying that in the near-term, a bottom would occur “more quickly and more constructively” if Bitcoin’s recent low of $6,000 holds.
Baruch qualified his analysis, however, by noting that Bitcoin’s 100 week moving average is now down to $4,550. The broker considered that Bitcoin’s 6-month downtrend will remain intact until a close above $11,300, with a near-term downtrend holding if the currency closes above $8,500. In the long-term, Baruch maintained “significant upside,” and singled out $10,000 as is a “crucial line in the sand,” going so far as to advise selling against it.
This month has seen a series of controversial discussions surrounding the impact of Bitcoin futures markets on the leading cryptocurrency’s fortunes, with Fundstrat’s Tom Lee attributing Bitcoin’s “significant volatility” to the timing of CBOE futures contract expirations. A much-discussed research paper released June 13 by academics at the University of Texas alleged that US dollar-backed cryptocurrency Tether (USDT) was being used as a shorting mechanism by institutional actors “to provide price support and manipulate...prices,” artificially deflating the price of Bitcoin to maximize short-term returns on futures contracts.
