They all draw the same lines. Support here, resistance there, etc etc

Then 100k amateur "traders" see that video and when the price hits support from the video, they buy it

Its the tail wagging the dog

Price action...which has nothing to do with fundamentals in the equities valuation sense.

Read up on technical analysis, but don't take it too seriously. The self-fulfilling nature of TA is exaggerated in cryptoland because there is no real fundamental anchors in which to ground expectations.

In cryptoland we're all smoking hopeium. The few who aren't still have a contact high!

Have a question about mining cryptocurrency. I understand that the days of mining are somewhat over due to the amount of energy taken. How about if energy is free? Lots of natural gas is flared off. Could you build out a shipping container with servers/AC, etc to mine Bitcoin and power it using a generator ran off of free natural gas? Still doubtful it would be worth it.

Good you are dumb as frick. I haven't posted chart analysis on here in a while mainly because we keep them on discord or telegram.

It was posted three days ago to get out everything for now and lock in profits.

FYI the play was shorting bitcoin

quote:

Risky Trade

SHORT BTC: 49-50k
Targets: 46, 44, 42, 40, 38.5
SL (stop-loss): 4 hour close above 52k

wouldn't risk more than 10% of your portfolio and I would would keep it below 10x leverage.


Btc failed to have a 4 hour candle close above 52. A reminder went out at 630 that there was still time to get in.


Just because you have ptsd and are a tard doesn't mean analysis are not useful.

On correction days though, all the fundamental analysis is gone.

And why do all you long term holders worry about this anyways? Just leave it due 3-5 years and you will have 4-5x the money.

Why even check the price? Just set and forget.

Not to argue because I agree with you but the 3-5 year window is right now since the 2017/18 crash, so it’s natural to be thinking of an exit plan. The money is a lot bigger this go round for many of the long term holders

I don’t think we are anywhere close to that (and it’s likely not going to happen like it did in 2018) and have several more corrections to go after this one. Next month (or next week) we will have forgotten about this and be sitting at all time highs across the board

That's not the point, the point is what is driving this drop? If anything, Link has had nothing but positive press lately, yet it's fallen almost 50% in 2 months. It just doesn't make sense.


Link was $11 on December 26 and $23 January 26 a whole month ago. It’s still rocking. Its just crypto. They can’t go up forever and these corrections happen. March 26 you should bump this and see where we are. I would bet way up if not ATH

Just got back in at 45. Will probably let this one ride long term. Just have to quit looking at the price everyday!

Same. I’ve aged a lot since Sunday watching stocks and crypto despite only making a handful of trades and having a great deal of confidence in the bull thesis.

Seriously if you’re in crypto for the long long term, Just don’t look at it this year. Or next.

If you’re trying to time the top this year, come back in the summer and start DCAing out.

As TTT mentioned, look at great American mining. The Investors Pod Cast just had an episode detailing this. Look at their last episode about bitcoin energy.

Full disclosure: I don't trade crypto. Holding a few long positions since 2017 that I'll hold until the bitter end whatever that may be. I just enjoy watching the insanity and absurdity of the space and speculating upon what it will ultimately mature into.

I do find it amusing to observe people convince themselves of various reasons to explain price movements in crypto. Particularly "fundamentals" explanations.
